Macro Horizon

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a dataview with period information:

planning start = 2008.01.01

TB Profile ID (future) = 12 months

TB Profile ID (past) = 12 months

Initial Column = R

I have a macro like:

If Month M <= current Month

Then .....

If Month M > current Month

Then...

The processing area of the step is:

I have entered information only on user define.

But each new month, the date of my macro doesn't slide. It's like a fix date.

Is it linked to my dataview definition or on another paramer?

Thanks

Best Regards

Hi JPascal Augé

The reason why your planning book has static planning start date.

If you take a look at your planning book definition and hit F1 help, you can see following description.

Future Planning Horizon: "Planning Start Date" Field
If you do not enter a date here, the future planning horizon (the horizon defined in the TB profile ID (future) field) starts from the system date (or the date entered for background processing through the PDATE user exit) plus an offset that you enter in the Offset field.
If you do enter a date, the future planning horizon starts from this set date (plus the offset, if applicable). Note that rolling planning is not possible in this instance.

So if you want to have rolling, please eliminate planning start date.

Hi Keiji,

Ok for this parameter, but I want to have a rolling horizon on my macro and I want to have a fix planning horizon on the dataview (display year 2008 with monthly bucket).

Is it possible to do this?
