Running MAcros in BAckground from the APO Planning book

[emani_raghavendra]

Hi Experts,

We want to implement a solution wherein we can run the SAP APO Macros in the background from the Planning Book rather than from the background job.  The idea is to , When a user logs into a planning book , and then execute the macro from the Macro ICON in the Interactive planning book, immediately , the macro which was executed should run in the background for the selection loaded in the Planning book. The Macro should not run in the foreground. So does anyone have any idea on user Exit / BADI where we can write this logic inside the Macro Icon. Did anyone try to implement this scenario ?

Thanks,

Venkata Raghavendra

Hi Raghavendra,

I haven't faced this but you can call the FM (BP_EVENT_RAISE) via a BADI (give inputs to FM) and use this in a DP Macro. This macro can be used as a button in Planning Book. The FM, triggers an event that can trigger a job in the background.
