BI Planning works fine for me in generate weeks, month, years, ... from calendar days - BUT ONLY UNTIL 2010. Is there any setting I could use to extend the time horizon for the future? Many thanks.
the time interval for the F4 help can be defined in transaction rsrhierarchyvirt. This setting is also used in BI Planning (e.g. in forecast functions and combination proposal, i.e. the query setting 'Result Access Mode').
I'm not familiar with BPS itself but probably if you change the calendars in SAP R/3 using SCA6_U transaction it will work as well. (could it be there is some dependency on a factory calendar?)
These calendars are typically defined until 2010. (so all SAP systems should watch this date since they need to update their factory calendars).
Thanx for your quick and specific answers, I could not check now whether it applies to me as I do not have (now) write-access to the R3 source system. Just a new transfer R3->BW did not help.
By the way, SCA6_U shows quite a few factory calendars. How can I find out which one is used for time derivation in BW?
Perhaps first check which organisational entries have been included. The factory calendar is not linked to a company code but to a plant for example (IMG path SPRO - enterprise structure / definition / logistic general / define, copy check plant
-> there on the details of a plant factory calendar is linked). In the same way you have a calendar linked to a sales organisation and shipping point.
Dries, probably I'll need a very high-level calendar in terms of the organizational structure, because I'm generating input cels for planning in a layout that can span multiple sales offices, plants, even comany codes.
I would first find out where the link is made to the calendar in your datamodel. If you find it, you can try assigning a general one. This is however outside my area of expertise (BW).
-> don't change it in SAP R/3 because you need it in BI IP, since it is important for certain logistical transactions.
