Diagnosis
The InfoCube contains non-cumulative values. A validity table iscreated for these non-cumulative values, in which the time interval isstored, for which the non-cumulative values are valid.
The validity table automatically contains the "most detailed" of theselected time characteristics (if such a one does not exist, it must bedefined by the user, meaning transfered into the InfoCube).
Besides the most detailed time characteristic, additionalcharacteristics for the InfoCube can be included in the validity table:
Examples of such characteristics are:

• A "plan/actual" indicator, if differing time references exist for plan
and actual values (actual values for the current fiscal year, planvalues already for the next fiscal year),

• the characteristic "plant", if the non-cumulative values are reported
per plant, and it can occur that a plant already exists for plant A fora particular time period, but not yet for plant B.

Procedure
Define all additional characteristics that should be contained in thevalidity table by selecting the characteristics.
In the example above, the characteristics "plan/actual" and "plant"must be selected.
The system automatically generates the validity table according to thedefinition made. This table is automatically updated when data isloaded.
