Multiplanning area FOX Formula

Question

Hi everyone,
I’m trying to implement a Fox’s formula with multi-areas through integrated Planning, but the function does not bring any result,  it just says that has read 24 records, but it hasn’t modified nor created any record, when, in fact, are at least 4 thousand.
The client request is that apply a correction factor over last year operation amounts. The correction factor is in a different Infocube than the others amounts.
All the characteristics of the aggregation level are set as “characteristic to be changed”, which are all relevant fields of both infocubes, including the field "Infoprovider". Therefore when I want to reference a key figure I use them all, so, when one of the fields is not in the key figure’s Infoprovider, I declare  it (or set it) with the value "#", Is that procedure correct?.
Ex. Characteristics in bold are not in the key figure's Infoprovider
{Key Figure, 0COMP_CODE, 0COSTCENTER, 0COSTELMNT, 0CO_AREA, 0CURRENCY, 0FISCPER, 0FISCPER3, 0FISCVARNT, 0FISCYEAR, 0INFOPROV, 0PROFIT_CTR, 0VERSION, 0VTYPE, Z1AVERSIO, ZVAR_EC}
Then, the string to reference this key figure is:
{ Z1AINDDVA, #, #, #, #, #, DAT_FYP1, DAT_FPER, VAR_FSCV, DAT_YBAS, ZBPS_VAR, #, VAR_VIPC, VAR_TVIE, VAR_IPCV , VAR_VREC}
This is my FOX formula code:
DATA CHA_CELM TYPE 0COSTELMNT.
DATA CHA_CMCO TYPE 0COMP_CODE.
DATA CHA_CECO TYPE 0COSTELMNT.
DATA CHA_CURR TYPE 0CURRENCY.
DATA CHA_COAR TYPE 0CO_AREA.
DATA CHA_CEBE TYPE 0PROFIT_CTR.
DATA DAT_YBAS TYPE 0FISCYEAR.
DATA DAT_YDER TYPE 0FISCYEAR.
DATA DAT_FPER TYPE 0FISCPER3.
DATA DAT_FPR1 TYPE 0FISCPER3.
DATA DAT_FYP1 TYPE 0FISCPER.
DATA DAT_FYP2 TYPE 0FISCPER.
DATA DAT_FYP3 TYPE 0FISCPER.
DATA INF_PROV TYPE 0INFOPROV.
DATA FLO_IPC TYPE F.
DATA FLO_BASE TYPE F.
DATA FLO_DERV TYPE F.
DATA VAR_VDBA TYPE 0VERSION.
DATA VAR_VDAA TYPE 0VERSION.
DATA VAR_VIPC TYPE 0VERSION.
DATA VAR_VREC TYPE ZVAR_EC.
DATA VAR_AREF TYPE 0FISCYEAR.
DATA VAR_MODI TYPE 0FISCYEAR.
DATA VAR_TVDB TYPE 0VTYPE.
DATA VAR_TVIE TYPE 0VTYPE.
DATA VAR_TVDM TYPE 0VTYPE.
DATA VAR_IPCV TYPE Z1AVERSIO.
DATA VAR_FSCV TYPE 0FISCVARNT.
DAT_YBAS = TMVL( VAR_AREF, 0, VAR_FSCV).
DAT_YDER = TMVL( VAR_MODI, 0, VAR_FSCV).
DAT_FPER = '012'.
DAT_FYP1 = CONCAT ( DAT_YBAS, DAT_FPER).
DAT_FYP2 = CONCAT ( DAT_YDER, DAT_FPER).
FLO_IPC = 1.
FLO_BASE = 0.
FLO_DERV = 0.
FLO_BASE = { Z1AINDDVA, #, #, #, #, #, DAT_FYP1, DAT_FPER, VAR_FSCV, DAT_YBAS, ZBPS_VAR, #, VAR_VIPC, VAR_TVIE, VAR_IPCV , VAR_VREC}.
FLO_DERV = { Z1AINDDVA, #, #, #, #, #, DAT_FYP2, DAT_FPER, VAR_FSCV, DAT_YDER, ZBPS_VAR, #, VAR_VIPC, VAR_TVIE, VAR_IPCV, VAR_VREC}.
IF FLO_BASE <> 0 AND FLO_DERV <> 0.
FLO_IPC = 1 + ( FLO_BASE / FLO_DERV ).
ENDIF.
FOREACH CHA_CMCO, CHA_CECO, CHA_CELM, CHA_COAR, CHA_CURR.
IF CHA_COAR = 1000.
IF VAR_VREC = CL01.
{ 0AMOUNT, CHA_CMCO, CHA_CECO, CHA_CELM, CHA_COAR, CHA_CURR, DAT_FYP3, DAT_FPR1, VAR_FSCV, DAT_YDER, ZSEM_C18, CHA_CEBE, VAR_VDAA, VAR_TVDM, #, # } =
{ 0AMOUNT, CHA_CMCO, CHA_CECO, CHA_CELM, CHA_COAR, CHA_CURR, DAT_FYP3, DAT_FPR1, VAR_FSCV, DAT_YDER, ZSEM_C18, CHA_CEBE, VAR_VDAA, VAR_TVDM, #, # } * FLO_IPC.
ELSE.

ENDIF.
ELSEIF  CHA_COAR = 2000 OR CHACOAR = 3000.

ENDIF.
ENDFOR.
Finally, when I try to debug the formula,  it doesn’t bring any value to the correction factor and exits without continue executing the next part of the code in which it should apply the correction factor over the amounts.
I have some question about this kind of FOX formula:
1.- How I resolve this issue in order to get my correction factor to be applied over the amounts.
2.- Is there a way to make a direct reference in order to read each Infoprovider?
3.- When is right to use all of the fields in the aggregation level (as “characteristic to be changed”) and when is not?.
4.- If I don't use all multiprovider’s fields in the aggregation level, the update is over all of the records and its combinations?
I hope you can help me with this.
Thanks in advance and best regards

Hi Inge,
See my response below for your perusal.
How can i make a direct reference in order to read each Infoprovider?
**When you have a combination of InfoProviders...you need to advise the system to pick up the appropriate InfoProvider. Either you will make the selection a constant or will assign a variable. By selecting or identifying the InfoProvider your function will write to the appropriate Key Figure.**
When is right to use all of the fields in the aggregation level (as “characteristic to be changed”) and when is not?
**It depends on the requirement. Having said that...**
**You will select all the characteristics in the cube when you are  planning to copy one year/one period data to other periods keeping all other characteristics as constant.**
***You will select characteristics based on the functionality that affects the changes on the InfoProvider.
Hope I addressed your requirement.
Should you have any further concerns please let me know.

Thanks.
