How to run Planning function on selected records using row selection ?

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I want to execute a planning function only on the rows which are selected by the user. I have used row selection for enabling the user to select the rows in the planning screen.

Could you please let me know what additional parameters should i define to make this work.

solved it myself.

Hi:

Please tell us how did you solved the issue.

I use to solve this issue using a data-provider-filter in Analyzer (Excel Workbook), with a button, running directly an IP Function (not a secuence).

The data-provider-filter feeds the Function with the records filtered by the user.

Is it there any other solution ?

My regards.

Guillermo.

Hi,

if you want to execute a planning function for a selected row in a Web Template with IP, you will need an additional help-data provider that is restricted by the selection of the first data provider. On this help-dataprovider you then can execute a planning function.

How to do so is described also here with an example of a revaluation function that should be executed by row.

Could you please explain in detail in setting the parameters.

I want all the records to be part of the second data provider. I dont want to restrict any.

Hi,

Yes we can . Create a char info-object without master data n then try.

Thanks

Hi,

Why can't we do it in standard function ?

Divide the sequence into two parts,

First the user will input the value after which this will be stored in planning buffer

In 2nd step, you use this characteristics ( new one with value as 'Y') as filed for condition to get the requisite dataset.

Can we input data for characteristics in IP ?

Hi,

I'm not sure of reading records based on row number ; i think it should be ; I haven't got a break through in it.

one work around that i can think of is to ask user to enter value in a dummy keyfigure ( say 'Y') and then you process those records with value as 'Y'.

Thanks

Thank you for your reply.

This approach can be followed if i am using a fox formula for manipulating data. But i am using a satndard function 'distribute by reference' so i dont think so we can achieve this if we are using standard functions.
