the instructions in Create
a Plan: Part I and Part
II. Tip In
the entry area of the

Button. 2. SAP automatically adjusts the distribution across periods
proportionally. Click the Period button An Example A cost element has a planned amount of $12,000. One-third
of this amount is manually distributed to period 1 ($4,000)
and two-thirds of it is distributed to period 2 ($8,000). The plan is changed so that the total planned amount is reduced
from $12,000 to $6,000. Since SAP adjusts the distributed amounts proportionally
and one-third of the planned amount is distributed to period
1 and two-thirds of it is distributed to period 2, the amount
for period 1 is $2,000 and the amount for period 2 is $4,000. When you are done making changes, click
the Save button Delete

There is little difference
between creating and changing a plan in
SAP. In fact, the menus and fastpaths for
creating and changing a plan are
identical. The main difference is that
when you create a plan, no values appear
in the Planned Costs fields of the
Overview and Period Screens. When you
change a plan, some fields will contain
previously entered values.
