Planning in SAP is used for establishing spending limits within the system and is done for a combination of Cost Centers and Cost Elements. There are four areas to keep in mind while working in the Planning module. These areas are: Cost Centers Cost Center Groups Fiscal Periods/Years Planning Profiles All Planning in SAP occurs at the Cost Center level. Your level within the organization determines your responsibilities regarding Cost Centers and Cost Center Groups. For example you may only be responsible for rentals at the Marina or you may be responsible for the entire Marina. It is important that you know which Cost Centers you are responsible for when planning in SAP. Check with your Supervisor if you are not sure.
