Macro button limit in SAP APO

[Former Member]

Hello,

we have 10 macro buttons in our planning view. Now if I try to add one more - one the last one of the buttons is deleted. Is there any way to add more than 10 macro buttons into a planning view?

Hi,

You try using the composite macro were add two or more macros into it

When creating macro You get an option standard or composite.select the composite and add macros to it.

Hello,

thanks for your helpful answer.

Is the answer to my question that there is no way to add 11th button to planning view?

Hi Sam,

I never try to put so many button... I usually stop at 4 or 5 maximum.

10 might well be the limitation!

Do you really need that many?

What I can suggest:

1. Use button only for the frequently used macros (if your planner can drill with so many, they are impressive)

OR

2. "group" some similar alert together: you can create a macro with a popup that will direct the planner to one or another macro...

Thanks and Regards

Hi,

thank you for the answer. I think we will manage with ten buttons - althought on some books we are hitting that limit already due to many user operations performed by buttons (mainly copying data between KFs).

I think that we can coclude that 10 is the limit then.

Best Regards,

Sam
