  Standard planning layout is a feature of SAP Controlling (CO) that allows users to create and manage planning layouts for cost centers, internal orders, and other objects. It enables users to define the structure of the planning layout, including the fields, data sources, and formulas used for calculations. The standard planning layout also allows users to define the data entry rules and validations for each field. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the standard planning layout, users must first create a planning layout in the CO module. This can be done by selecting the “Create Planning Layout” option from the menu. Once the layout is created, users can then define the fields, data sources, and formulas used for calculations. They can also define the data entry rules and validations for each field. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a standard planning layout, it is important to consider how it will be used. For example, if the layout will be used for budgeting purposes, it is important to include fields that are relevant to budgeting such as budget amounts and budget categories. Additionally, it is important to consider how data will be entered into the layout and what validations should be applied to ensure accuracy.
