QUESTION POSED ON: 05 December 2007
We have a scenario where we would like to add one additional navigational attribute to an existing InfoObject (currently there are already two navigation attributes). My question is what needs to be done to the Planning Object Structure in APO DP 5.0?

>
To add an additional navigational attribute, you don't need to change anything in the Planning Object Structure.

Navigational attributes being an independent table attached to the info object can be changed and maintained independent of the main MPOS.

You go to maintain Master data in RSD1 for the info object and add the new navigational attribute.

Once you have maintained the Attribute values you just need to reactivate the MPOS (without deactivating it) and you should be able to get the new set of navigational attributes and the values. Please try this in your development system or in the sandbox before trying it in production.
