Bind input field value to a variable fails

Question

Business need : The user wants to re-evaluate lines by a percentage value which he fills via his BI-IP screen.
I created an INPUT FIELD in WAD and I am trying to link a variable value (initially created in BI-IP through transaction RSPLAN)
to this INPUT FIELD.
Whenever I fill the input field with a value, the value is not being transferred to the variable.
Please help how to bind an INPUT field value to a variable to be transmitted to a planning function.
I have made many trials but in vain.
Please help.

Hi.
I will present my scenario (it works in my system). From this scenario you may "cut" implementation for your scenario.
Lets sat I have an input fileld item and I want to read value (in my case numeric value) and pass this value to any planning sequence.
1. Create in Bex variable (in my case it is formula variable) lets say Z_INPUT_VAR
2. In WAD, when you executin planning sequence (lets say by pressing button execute) in command EXEC_PLANNING_SEQUENCE_SIMPLE define data binding.
When you clicked data binding->variable input MANUALY your variable name (Z_INPUT_VAR) in popup window.
3. In variable type select (ITEM_INPUT) type
4. In web item select your input field item.
This way you will pass inputed value to vaariable and planning sequence.
Then in planning function you also may use VARV() to read value of Z_INPUT_VAR variable.
Regards.
