Release Plan from planning book.

[Former Member]

Hi Experts ,

I have loaded some forecast data in TCode /SAPAPO/SDP94 Planning book in the Book owners additional forecast.Now for releasing the data i have to always go to a differenct tcode and release it ie /SAPAPO/MC90.

Is there any other way that i can release the plan from the same TCODE ie /SAPAPO/SDP94 instead of always going to MC90.

TImely and helpful answers will be valued.

Hi Athilles

As Senthil mentioned, there is no standard SAP soluition provided to release the forecast from DP to SNP in the DP planning book.

In addition to the options provided above, you can write a function module which in turn calls the //MC90 transaction. This function module can be called in an advanced macro in the macro builder. And you can attach this macro in the DP planning book so that the users can execute this macro and release the forecast from the DP planning book.

However this would involve some ABAP developement. If you do not want to go in for ABAP developement, you can create varaints in //MC90, protect and hide those fields which you dont want the user to modify and restrict the access of the users to change the varant. Then you can give them access to //MC90, users can then load the predecided varaint and release the forecast through //MC90.

Let me know if this helps.

Hi Athilles,

There is no direct SAP standard practice from direct

release.

You can try the below:-

a) Creating a variant in MC90 and schedule as a background

job and run periodically

b) Create a Process Chain
