Copy Operator

[Thangadurai]

Hi Team,

I am using a copy operator within a planning area, where the source and target key figures have different planning levels. While the copy operator runs successfully, the data is not being loaded into the target key figure because the planning object is not being created. Could you please assist me in resolving this issue?

Ex:
Source Planning level: MTHPRDID ----> target Planning Level MTHPRDIDLOC
Root Attribute: PRDID                                Root Attribute: PRDID & LOCID

Which product and which app is this question about?

Hello @Thangadurai 

In SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud (Planning), the behaviour you mention is normal. The Copy Operator does not generate new planning objects at the target level; it merely copies data into existing ones.

In your case:

• Source level: MTHPRDID (root: PRDID)
• Target level: MTHPRDIDLOC (root: PRDID & LOCID)

If the PRDID and LOCID combinations are not yet available in the target planning level, the copy will run successfully, but no data will be written.

 How to resolve in Public Cloud:

1. Ensure the master data (product-location combinations) exists and is active.
2. Use the Create Planning Objects operator for the target level (MTHPRDIDLOC).
3. After the objects exist, re-run the Copy Operator – data will then populate the target key figure.

The copy operator does not create missing planning objects; they must be created beforehand for data to be transferred to the target key figure.

With kind regards
