- Chart in the formula based template only looks at 300 rows and they only work in English.
- The best practices templates are designed just for the SAP IBP, add-in for Microsoft Excel.
- copy/move sheet: Users might want to copy sheets containing planning views using the native Excel copy/move function. For planning view sheets the native Excel copy/move is not supported: The Excel add-in will not recognize the sheet and omit it in the Edit View dialog. However, the template admin can copy the empty template sheets from the empty templates attached here - before they are filled with a planning view - and then proceed as with the first sheet with New View > Without Template on Current Sheet.
For more restrictions or known issues have a look at SAP note 1790530.
The best practices planning view templates are provided "as-is", no support is provided.
The best practices templates are not meant for production use. They are meant as an inspiration and as a stepping stone to get you started.
