  Planning layout is a feature of the SAP FI-SL Special Purpose Ledger (SPL) that allows users to create and manage their own custom layouts for planning and reporting purposes. It enables users to define their own data fields, which can be used to store and report on financial data. The planning layout also allows users to define the structure of the data fields, such as the order in which they appear in reports.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the planning layout feature, users must first create a new layout in the SPL. This can be done by selecting the “Create Layout” option from the SPL menu. Once the layout is created, users can then add data fields to it by selecting the “Add Field” option from the SPL menu. Users can also define the structure of the data fields, such as their order in reports, by selecting the “Edit Structure” option from the SPL menu.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a planning layout, it is important to consider how it will be used. For example, if a user wants to create a report that compares different financial data points, they should ensure that their planning layout includes all of the necessary data fields. Additionally, users should consider how they want their data fields to appear in reports when defining their layout structure.
