Planning Level
The planning level is used to control displays in Cash
Management.
To improve the display of the cash position and liquidity
forecast, you should reserve levels that start with "F"
or "B" for automatically updating data during posting. F
levels should be used for bank accounts, customers, and
vendors, and B levels for bank clearing accounts.
Examples:
• F0: Main Bank
• FF: down payment requests
• B1: bank clearing accounts, outgoing checks
• B2: bank clearing accounts, bank collection
• Z1: Cash
• Z2: Loan
When displaying the cash position, you can then see because
of level F0 that the amounts are posted to the bank
account, whereas the other levels show planned bank account
transactions, which include entered payment advices or
postings to bank clearing accounts. You can then use the
display to compare planned date with actual data.
In addition, you should reserve levels, for example, all
levels beginning with X, to represent postings with payment
blocking indicators in the liquidity forecast. When
displaying the liquidity forecast, you can then see because
of these levels that the displayed amounts are postings
with payment blocking indicators.
General notes on accounts, or planning groups, and planning
levels:
Accounts/groups and levels enable you to look at data two
different ways.
Accounts/groups answer the who question.
• Which (major) customers or suppliers?
• Which customer or supplier group?
• Which bank account or bank clearing account?
Levels answer the how question.
• How information was entered into the system
(posting or payment advice or planned item)?
• How an amount is posted (normal posting or special
G/L transaction)?
• How accurate information is
o With amounts in the "outgoing transfers" level, you
know the exact date on which the account is debited, but
with amounts in the "outgoing checks" level, the date on
which the account is debited is uncertain.
o In levels for MM and SD, both the amount and the
planning date are more uncertain than the amount and date
in FI postings, since the vendor may, for example, deliver
only a subset or the delivery may be delayed. In addition,
the system always displays MM amounts without taxes in the
liquidity forecast (in purchase orders, tax is not
displayed if it can be deducted; in purchase requisitions,
it is never displayed).
Where are cash management levels assigned in the system?
In G/L accounts, you define the level in the company-code-
specific part of the master record.
For accounts receivable and payable, you define a standard
level in the cash management and forecast group.
At this time, you can define different levels for the
following applications and activities:
• Locked items
• Special G/L transactions
• Payment requests
• Purchase orders and purchase requisitions
• Orders
• Agency deals
• Loans
• Securities
• Money market, foreign exchange, derivatives
• Real estate
• Earmarked funds
The levels defined should be unique - meaning you must not
define the same level for more than one application or
activity as this may affect the clarity of the display in
the cash position or liquidity forecast. It might also
adversely affect the function for jumping from these
transactions to the correct application or line item
display.
