Hi Pradeep,

Business Planning (BW-BPS) enables you to produce planning applications. You can either develop your own planning application or use the Business Content delivered by SAP. The area of application stretches from simple data input through to complex scenarios with data extraction, automatic planning preparation, manual data input, controlling the planning process, and retracting plan data. The architecture of BW-BPS is structured so that you are able to implement simple scenarios without great effort but are equally able to build sophisticated business-wide planning processes. Planning applications are built from the following components:

· A data basis for storing transaction and master data

· Layouts for manual data input in SAP GUI and on the Web

· Planning functions for editing transaction data

· Characteristic relationships with which you define consistency conditions for your planning application

· Planning packages and variables with which you define the work list for a planner

· A Status and Tracking System and a connection to the SAP Workflow for controlling the planning processes

· Retractors and extractors for exchanging plan data with the ERP system. These components are delivered with the Business Content.

Hi Pradeep,

Transactional InfoCubes can be filled with data using two different methods: Using the transaction of BW-BPS to enter planning data and using BW staging, whereas planning data then cannot be loaded simultaneously.

You have the option to convert a transactional Info Cube Select Convert Transactional InfoCube using the context menu in your transactional InfoCube in the InfoProvider tree. By default, Transaction Cube Can Be Planned, Data Loading Not Permitted is selected. Switch this setting to Transactional Cube Can Be Loaded With Data; Planning Not Permitted if you want to fill the cube with data via BW Staging.

If you want you can write data into the transactional cube yourself e.g. with the module RSAPO_WRITE_PACKAGE_TRANS.

You can also switch between planning and load mode with the function module RSSM_SWITCH_ICUBE_TRANS_BATCH.
