Copy data between planning area with function module

Question

Hi gurus!
I'm involved in a consumer products project
In my multiplaning area i copy "catalog code" from act to fct after a preliminary selection in a authorization layout..
Due to increase performance I'm in need to convert the FOX which copies data from actual plan area to fct plan area after the authorization check, into a formula exit...
This fox works fine but as you can imagine it takes a lot of time to execute cause it has to read every catalog code form the transactional data...
here follows gross summary of the code.
this FOX copies ACT catalog code into FCT catolg
code by CALQUARTER  according to Catalog code
authorization stored in AUTH version
DATA PER TYPE 0CALQUARTER.
DATA ENDPER TYPE 0CALQUARTER.
DATA KEYF TYPE KEYFIG_NAME
PER = VARV(variable)
ENDPER = TMVL(per,4).
catalog code is present in the level selection
with no filter
AUTH is the version used for set up the
authorization in data copy (no quarte info is needed)
IF {KEYF,AUTH,#,PLAN1}>0.
PLAN1 I the FCT plan area, PLAN2 is the Act plan area
DO.
{KEYF,FCT,PER,PLAN1}={KEYF,ACT,PER,PLAN2}.
IF PER = ENDPER.EXIT.ENDIF.
PER=TMVL(PER,1).
ENDDO.
ENDIF.
I've found many example in the forum but nothing which refers to different planning areas data copy with exit.
I'll be gratefull to any of you who can help me to compile this function module.
Best regards

Hi Rakesh,
You can use COPY/Version Management Function to do this.
Path: Demand Planning > Environment >Copy/ Version Management
The system takes into account only those periodicities that are common to both planning areas.
For example, if the data is saved in months in the source planning area (PA1) but in months and weeks in the target planning area (PA2)
the system copies to months in the target planning area and then Disaggregates the data to the storage buckets in accordance with the Time-based Disaggregation.
hope this wil help to understand the basic concept.
