Dear DP Experts,
I can probably test this quickly but I am on the road and need some answers based on your experience. While I ask the questions below, I am aware that SAP provided this option of "set storage buckets" in SDP94, to view the planning data is storage buckets but that is just for viewing the planned numbers!
Q1: Is it possible to create a Planning Bucket Profile that is EXACTLY same as Storage buckets based on storage bucket profile I defined?. Using FYV in planning bucket profile ? PS: My present storage bucket profile itself does not have posting period checked. Its is checked for week, month, quarter and year.
Q2: If so, what special settings need to be done in the fiscal year variant that I will need to create. Year dependent ?. Year independent ? Special periods ? time shifts etc
Q3: If I am using a data view with such a planning bucket profile (same as storage buckets) what precautions should I take ?. esp. Macros in FG and BG ?. I presume this depends on type of macros but a generic answer would help.
Q4: What is the technical difference between the field "fiscal year variant" in storage bucket profile and the fields FYV1 and FYV2 in time bucket profile. Are they internally same?. PS: I am sensitized to this hep documentation where SAP says In a planning buckets profile, do not include a periodicity that is not in the storage buckets profile.
Thanks
BS
