• Key Concepts: 
  A planning unit is a unit of measure used in SAP Cash Management to define the granularity of cash flow forecasts. It is used to determine the amount of cash that needs to be allocated for a particular period of time. The planning unit can be set up to represent a day, week, month, quarter, or year. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In the Fiori UI for Cash Management, the planning unit can be set up in the “Planning Unit” tab. Here, you can select the desired unit of measure and enter the start and end dates for the forecast. Once this is done, you can then enter the forecasted cash flow amounts for each period. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up a planning unit, it is important to consider the level of detail needed for your forecast. If you need a more detailed forecast, you may want to use a shorter planning unit such as days or weeks. On the other hand, if you need a more general overview of cash flow, you may want to use a longer planning unit such as months or quarters.
