Technical_setup_for_the_examples

The following is the technical setup for the examples

1. Create the following InfoObjects with the following definitions:

InfoObject	Description	Data type	Length	Conversion routine	With Text
ZDEMO1	Demo1	CHAR	5	ALPHA	Checked (with short text and language dependent)
ZDEMO2	Demo2	CHAR	5	ALPHA	Checked (with short text and language dependent)
ZDEMO3	Demo3	CHAR	5	ALPHA	Checked (with short text and language dependent)

Pre-populate some values in each of the InfoObjects above using transaction RSD1 with master data maintenance. These must be available as BPS needs those for manual entry in the layouts. Please note that the screenshots provided in the examples have inserted values listed in the following:

ZDEMO1 has values 3 & 99999

ZDEMO2 has values 1 & 999

ZDEMO3 has values 2 & 9999

2. Create InfoCube ZDEMO as a transactional InfoCube with the following definition:

Dimension	InfoObject
DEMO	ZDEMO1 (characteristic)
DEMO	ZDEMO2 (characteristic)
DEMO	ZDEMO3 (characteristic)
Time	0FISCPER (time characteristic)
Time	0FISCPER3 (time characteristic)
Time	0FISCVARNT (time characteristic)
Time	0FISCYEAR (time characteristic)
Key figure	0AMOUNT (key figure)
Key figure	0QUANTITY (key figure)
Unit	0CURRENCY (unit)
Unit	0UNIT (unit)

3. Go to transaction BPS0 to create a planning area called ZDEMO and specify the InfoCube to ZDEMO.

4. Now proceed on with the technical setup in the article (the steps at the end).

5. Once you are finished, you can use the examples 1 & 2 provided.
