Hi all,
I added Custom fields "YY1_SalesTeam" for the Market Segment Report.
I want to use Custom fields to upload Market segment planning data in Import Financial Plan Data App.
A message appears saying that the field is invalid and the upload fails.
How can I upload Market segment planning data using Custom fields "YY1_SalesTeam"?
Thank you
Su Young

Hello @suyoung_choi3
Thank you for your email.
To enable you upload Market Segment planning data you must ensure that the field is correctly extended and configured for plan data import. People commonly encounter issues that include technical name mismatches and unsupported business contexts or when there is a lack of proper alignment of plan and actual data for CO-PA because this uses different suffixes. If the technical name does not include the correct suffix or is not released for planning, SAP will treat it as invalid and fail the upload.
You can fix this through Field Extension for Planning. For that go to the Custom Fields and Logic app and check that YY1_SalesTeam is released for the planning business context. If the field is only released for your actuals and not for the plan data, then re-create or adjust it and make sure Planning is enabled during the setup.
Ensure the chosen technical name and suffix is correct. You should check the template downloaded from the app, make sure the field matches the technical that is required by SAP. For the custom characteristics, the correct name often ends with a plan-related suffix.
Ensure you date format and template is correct. For this download the planning data template directly from the Import app F1711, make sure you use SAP’s recommended separators. Then map the columns exactly as shown in the template. Do not alter the fields that are mandatory.
