How to apply CR to Partprovider?

[dongun_kang1]

Hi, Experts

we want to create combination like this.

(The values of adso1 for the combination are okay to be empty forever)

Company Code	Profit Center	GL_ACCOUNT	Currency	ADSO1 (Actual)	ADSO2 (Plan)
COMP1	PRCTR1	GL1	CURK1	not input	input
COMP1	PRCTR1	GL2	CURK1	not input	input
COMP2	PRCTR2	GL3	CURK2	not input	input
COMP2	PRCTR2	GL4	CURK2	not input	input

The Combination of Organization and GL Account is in CBO Table.

Of Course, CR Exit should be applied to  ADSO2 (Plan)

(can be applied to adso1. but, structure of two adso are different, so it cause bad impact. And pointly, adso1 is not plannable)

But, when i applied the CR Exit to ADSO2, the BEX query show error.

"The combination cannot applied to Partprovider"

"The number of combination to be created is 2,1747,483,647"

(the real combination is just 4 rows...)

And the Combination in CBO table is often less or more.

so cannot use combination Planning Function..

Is there anything i missed? or any idea?

Hi ,

characteristic relationships are processed on the base InfoProviders, you misunderstood two different messages. The relevant one is the second which says to too many combinations were created (and as a result, one will get no combinations in the query or planning function).

Please check the concept of 'automatically valid combinations' (search in this forum, you will get more information about this concept). These combinations will be created by the system if not switched off. So disable this in the definition of the characteristic relationship (RSPLAN, flag EXCL#, in the Modeling Tools check the quick info 'Also apply to automatically valid combinations').
