Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable mediums having program instructions thereon, provide for creating, storing and utilizing planned target data with a target-setting graphical user application based a cloud-based system. The target-setting application can create multi-dimensional target settings for any HANA or non-HANA based data source. The target-setting application can store planned targets for entities of an organization across varying dimensions and time granularity. Also, the target-setting application generates data access protocol service links of the target data so the target data can be consumed by both HANA and non-HANA based applications.
