execute planning function/PS in the background from the AO report without using process chain?

[former_member759274]

Hello All,

We have a requirement wherein we need to execute Planning Function how to execute planning function (or planning sequence) in the background from the AO report without using process chain.

Like we all already know that with the help of VBA coding we can add buttons in AO reports to execute the planning function or Planning sequence.

But are there any other ways to execute Planning function or planning sequence in the background like we do using the process chain.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Anil,

Triggering PF/PS in front end would be tedious development. but you can still explore on the class CL_RSPLFR_CONTROLLER

but my suggestion would be to trigger PC using a program and i have also given a way to monitor the status.

1. Trigger PC

2. Monitor PC Status.

The connection between Trigger and Monitoring is based on Log ID.

This is better approach, as the Log is captured in the standard PC Log.

Hi Andrew, Thanks for your reply.

In the above solution i can see process chain is used, but we need to execute PF/PS without using process chain.
