Scenario appropriate for
▪ For SAP S/4HANA Cloud customers
▪ For new SAP S/4HANA On Premise customers
▪ For customers migrating to SAP S/4HANA On Premise that want to implement a new planning solution
Typical Setup
▪ SAP Analytics Cloud is the primary planning tool, complete financial planning is done in SAP Analytics Cloud
▪ After planning round is finished, plan data, activity cost rates and statistical key figures are exported to SAP
S/4HANA
▪ Embedded Analytics (e.g. plan-actual comparisons) runs in SAP S/4HANA
▪ In certain scenarios Universal Allocation is used in SAP S/4HANA
– When it is crucial that actual an plan allocation run with the same rules and when it is too much effort to replicate
the allocation rules between SAP Analytics Cloud and SAP S/4HANA
– When required allocation features are missing in SAP Analytics Cloud
▪ Transfer programs between new tables (ACDOCP, ACCOSTRATE, FINSSKF) and classic tables are not needed
“Classic” and “New” Financial Planning:
Scenario 1: SAP Analytics Cloud Only
101
Public
Scenario appropriate for
▪ For customers migrating to SAP S/4HANA On Premise that want to modernize the existing, classic planning
implementation
Typical Setup
▪ In a transition phase, migrate some planning areas to SAP Analytics Cloud and leave others with classic
planning
▪ Move planning results from new planning to classic planning to be consumed in processes like activity
confirmation or cost estimate.
▪ Leave dedicated planning tasks with classic planning, e.g. activity cost rate calculation with iteration and cost
component split
▪ Use data transfer programs between classic and new planning

Import Financial Plan Data
105
Public
Use
With this app you can select financial plan data in a source category and copy it to a
target category.
Key Features
You can use this app to
▪ Search for existing financial plan data by entering values in the filter fields.
You need to at least enter a value in the field Plan Category. The plan data in the
table is adjusted whenever you change an entry in a filter field.
▪ Copy financial plan data from a source category to a target category.
Select the data you want to copy by filling in the filter values as described above
and copy the data to a target plan category. If your target category already contains
data for the filter selections you entered for the fields Ledger, Ledger Fiscal Year,
Fiscal Period, and Company Code, the data of the target category will be
overwritten by the data that is copied from the source category. In particular data in
the target category that matches the filter values for which no corresponding source
data exists will be deleted.
Effects on Configuration
It must be possible to copy data into the plan categories that are used. This means that
the plan categories must be flagged as Copy Allowed in the Maintain Category for
Planning configuration step.

Public
Delete Financial Plan Data

Public
Compress Financial Plan Data
Use
The app allows you to reduce the number of plan data items stored in
planning table ACDOCP. Note that the application does not delete existing
plan data. Only the history of changes is deleted. After compression, all
plan data remains consistent.
Value Proposition
Using this app to compress plan data can reduce the size of table
ACDOCP, which can improve the overall performance of planning
processes.
108
Public
Use
A statistical key figure is a number providing information about non-monetary data
relating to organizational units. Statistical key figures can be used as reference data for
universal allocation. For more information, see Statistical Key Figures.
Use this app to upload statistical key figure plan data stored in a comma-separated
values file (CSV file). The app allows you to perform your planning in an external
system, such as Microsoft Excel. As a key user, you can use the Custom Analytical
Query app to create a report based on the released I_FinStatisticalKeyFigureItem DDL
view that allows you to view your uploaded plan data.
Key Features
You can use this app to
▪ Import statistical key figure plan data records stored in a CSV file
▪ Automatically validate all values from the CSV file before the import
Import Statistical Key Figure Plan Data
109
Public
Use
This service enables you to write financial plan data from one system to another
through an API call. It is based on an OData service and can be consumed by external
systems or user interfaces in a financial plan data scenario in SAP S/4HANA. You can
only post financial plan data. For master data, specific OData services are available.
With this service, it is not possible to read, update or delete financial plan data or
search based on filters.
Service Structure
The service metadata file can be retrieved through
/sap/opu/odata/SAP/API_FINPLANNINGDATA_SRV/$metadata.
The service Message Header (optional) contains information on the service, the
involved sender and receiver as well as date and time. The entities contain the
business data of the service.

    105 Public Use With this appyou can select financial plan data in a source category and copy it to a target category. Key Features You can use this app to ▪ Search for existing financial plan data by entering values in the filter fields. You need to at least enter a value in the field Plan Category. The plan data in the table is adjusted whenever you change an entry in a filter field. ▪ Copy financial plan data from a source category to a target category. Select the data you want to copy by filling in the filter values as described above and copy the data to a target plan category. If your target category already contains data for the filter selections you entered for the fields Ledger, Ledger Fiscal Year, Fiscal Period, and Company Code, the data of the target category will be overwritten by the data that is copied from the source category. In particular data in the target category that matches the filter values for which no corresponding source data exists will be deleted. Effects on Configuration It must be possible to copy data into the plan categories that are used. This means that the plan categories must be flagged as Copy Allowed in the Maintain Category for Planning configuration step. Copy Financial Plan Data

    107 Public Compress Financial PlanData Use The app allows you to reduce the number of plan data items stored in planning table ACDOCP. Note that the application does not delete existing plan data. Only the history of changes is deleted. After compression, all plan data remains consistent. Value Proposition Using this app to compress plan data can reduce the size of table ACDOCP, which can improve the overall performance of planning processes.

    108 Public Use A statistical keyfigure is a number providing information about non-monetary data relating to organizational units. Statistical key figures can be used as reference data for universal allocation. For more information, see Statistical Key Figures. Use this app to upload statistical key figure plan data stored in a comma-separated values file (CSV file). The app allows you to perform your planning in an external system, such as Microsoft Excel. As a key user, you can use the Custom Analytical Query app to create a report based on the released I_FinStatisticalKeyFigureItem DDL view that allows you to view your uploaded plan data. Key Features You can use this app to ▪ Import statistical key figure plan data records stored in a CSV file ▪ Automatically validate all values from the CSV file before the import Import Statistical Key Figure Plan Data

    109 Public Use This service enablesyou to write financial plan data from one system to another through an API call. It is based on an OData service and can be consumed by external systems or user interfaces in a financial plan data scenario in SAP S/4HANA. You can only post financial plan data. For master data, specific OData services are available. With this service, it is not possible to read, update or delete financial plan data or search based on filters. Service Structure The service metadata file can be retrieved through /sap/opu/odata/SAP/API_FINPLANNINGDATA_SRV/$metadata. The service Message Header (optional) contains information on the service, the involved sender and receiver as well as date and time. The entities contain the business data of the service.
