IP: Planning Function and Data Binding to a Variable

62 Views

I have created a simple planning function command using the wizard.

The pupose of the command is to execute a planning function based on the data selected using a hierarchy node variable. (in our case a cost center user input variable based on a hierarchy)

Under Data Binding in the wizard I have selected:

The data provider = DP_1

The variable = ZN_CCTR1

Variable type = VARIABLE_INPUT_STRING

variable input string = Default

When executing the planning function in the web template the following occurs:

If the user selects a node (cost center group) on the hierarchy and executes the planning function the planning function executes for all records and the function is not restricted to just the node selected using the variable ZN_CCTR1. This is not the result I would expect.

However,

If the user selects a leaf from the hierarchy (a single cost center) and the planning function is executed the function is restricted to just the cost centers data. This is expected.

Has anyoine been able to get a planning function to Bind to a node on the Cost Center Hierarchy based on a user input variable. I have tested this over an over with differant combinations of Binding types however I have been unable to get his to work.

If anyone can share their experiences with this basic requirement it would be greatly appreciated as their is very little doco on this functionality -even the SAP delta training had nothing on this topic.

Many Thanks.
