BPC 7.5 NW on BW 7.3 - Unable to post journals

Hello All,
We're in the process of migrating from MS to a Netweaver version of BPC 7.5
A few issues and one of the main ones relates to posting journals.
On a consolidation app I try to post a journal and it disappears.
Here's what I do.
1 Created Journal Template in FINANCE Application in BPC Admin client.
2 Clicked on New Journal in BPC Excel client under Journals.
3 Saved journal after filling dimension members.
4 Journal ID is created, after which message "Journal successfully saved" is displayed.
5 Data is listed in backend Journal header table UJJ_JRNL and detail table /1CPMB/VHYKMJRDT.
6 Now Journal data disappears from Journal entry layout
Also, if I run a journal report no journal is displayed.
I've tried it in various appsets and the same problem.
Any help gurus?
Thanks
Paul

Hi Paul,
This issue is fixed with BPC NW SP10.
Regards
Tony

BPC 10.0 NW - Journal data when clearing the data

Hej Gurus,
I have a quite simple question:
When a journal i created and posted in the system, the journal is stored in a specific table for the model, and the data is stored in the cube. What is going to happen with the journals, if we clear the cube for all data, both journal and non-journal data. Will the journals still be posted in the journal table?
The reason is, we have some scattered bad data that we would like to have cleared, and we want to know, if we can delete all data and import everything again without the journal postings are gone.
Best regards,
Mikkel Kristensen

Hi Mikkel
Journal stored in Journal Table along with BP Cube. Any point of time you want to delete due to Bad data. First you have to Unpost Journals that means No Effect in Journals or No Financials update. Then you can clear BPC Cube data.
When you are ready for Journals just simply Post from Unpost Journals. This process will ensure your data integrity.
Otherwise you will have to face again bad data issue.
In Short :
When you decide to Delete Data from Cube:
1. Unpost Journals from Post
2. Delete Data from BPC Cube( from Backend)
3, Re-load Transactional Data
4. Post Journals from Unpost
Hope this will help you
Thanks

Running custom packages within BPC 5.1

Hi,
Current Enviroment:
BPC Ver: 5.1
SQL Server: SQL 2005
I have used earlier versions of BPC 5.1 which used SQL 2000 as a back end and was able to utlise functionailty within the EVMODIFYSCRIPT object to perform certian SQL based tasks such as creating a new bespoket table.
In trying to re-perform the same process with BPC 5.1 and SQL 2005 I am unable to run a simialr bespoke package from DataManager.   To highligh the problem I have included below the syntax that I once used for SQL 2000 (- which worked in the earlier version of BPC 5.1) and which will now not not work with BPC 5.1 and I am not sure if it is because SQL 2005 requires a different aproach for the syntax it will accept or whether it is because the EVMODIFYSCRIPT object which has now become a MODIFYSCRIPT variable and as a result has lost some of its functionailty.
The syntax (as an example) for SQL 2000 that I have used successfuly in the past would have been something like the following:
PROMPT(TEXT,%CATGVALUE%,"Enter the category for the current year",,"actual,budget")
TASK(EXCUTESQL,SQLSTATEMENT,%SQLSTRING%)
BEGINFO (%SQLSTRING%)
SELECT * INTO COPYTBLFACTWB WHERE CATEGORY IN (%CATGVALUE%)
ENDINFO
The above syntax runs fine in Visual Studio 2005 Integrated Services however it fails (with no indication of why) when run from BPC .. any thoughts on what I may be doing wrong ?
Thanks

I've never had any success directly updating a Package Variable from within the MODIFYSCRIPT value.   In DTS you could modify a GLOBAL Variable from the EvModifyScript task and the package could utilize that value. However, in SSIS, the GLOBAL Variable no longer exists and Package Variables have "replaced" them. But I do not believe the EvModifyScript Task replacement of the variable MODIFYSCRIPT has the ability to directly update a Package Variable.
However, within the MODIFYSCRIPT value, you can update properties of the tasks and connections included in a package.
In your scenario, you could use a Prompt and dynamically build the sql statement with the variable holding the user provided value. Then passed the sql statement to the property of the Execute SQL Task.
ie:
<<in the MODIFYSCRIPT -- not exact code, just off the top of my head so I might have some syntax wrong>>
PROMPT(TEXT,%USERINPUT%,"Enter value",)
BEGININFO(%SQLQUERY%)
    Insert Into tblFac2Finance
    Select * from tblFactFinance
    Where Category=%USERINPUT%
ENDINFO
TASK(Execute SQL Task, SQLSTATEMENTSOURCE,%SQLQUERY%)
But if you wish to provide the user with member selectors for the input, you could use the SELECTINPUT prompt with the appropriate dimensions.   The user selections are then recorded in a txt file within the PrivatePublications Temp directory for the user executing the package. The location of this file is stored in the BPC MODIFYSCRIPT variable %SELECTIONFILE%. I have created packages with a flat file connection that can be updated in the MODIFYSCRIPT with the selectionfile location.
CONNECTION(UserSelectionFile,CONNECTIONSTRING,%SELECTIONFILE%)
Then within the package, I add a Script task that performs file processing against the UserSelectionFile to parse the values into the appropriate package variables that can then be used throughout the package.
I would be very interested in discovering a more direct way to update a package variable from within the MODIFYSCRIPT.
Hope this helps,

Re: BPC Journal Entry Posting

Hello Everyone,
Would it be possible to perform a test run before posting journal entries into the BPC system?
Is there any task available in BPC to check debit/credit mismatch or error in the journal entries?
Please let me know.
Kind regards,
RJ

i don't think so that there is any task which does the TEST RUN kind of activity for Journals in BPC.
If no body id posting the values in that account from input schedule then you can easily find out the diference.

How to undo data upload in BPC

Hi All,
I have inadvertently uploaded "Actual" data file in BPC with the wrong year, i.e. the Actuals data file should have 2008 as the year, but instead it has 2009 as the year.
Please suggest what would be the best way to fix it.
Is there any way to delete Transactions data in BPC?
I also tried to look the option of using journal for fixing this issue, but every time I try to open an existing or new journal, I get the message that I do not have any authorization for this module.
I am working in a sandbox /Demo enviornment with only one user, and that user is the Primary Admin/System Admin and has all accesses.
Can anyone throw some light as to why I might be getting this error message.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards.

Hi Anurag,
For deleting the existing data goto datamanger-Run datamanger- select clear function from data manager package.
Delete your existing data based upon the parameters.
Incase of journal posting you dont have sutorizatiion, check Task profile in your security settings.
Ensure creation of journal wizard before going forward the journal.
For your current issue journal posting is not correct option.

Automatic creation of new dimension members

Hello all,
Bit of a long post so please bear with me.
I am about to embark on only my third BPC project after having spent several years implementing solutions using BusinessObjects Planning (formerly SRC software), and am still struggling to come up with an elegant solution to the fact that I cannot save data to dimension elements unless they are already explicitly defined in the dimension member list (presumably due to cube architecture).
Those of you who have used BOP/SRC will remember this as unvalidated dimensions.
I find having to first go to admin and pre create members before being able to use an input schedule to save data against them is very restrictive.
I'm hoping one of you guys can help me improve on the workaround I currently use.
For example I have a 'bid submission' input schedule that is used by the user to submit bids for increased budget, capital or revenue, capturing basic costs and commentary. The user selects a bid number from a combo box which is populated by using an EVLST formula to read in pre created dimension members. I have to save a flag to the db which I then use to exclude already used numbers when feeding the combo box on future submissions.
Which works ok but if I have a hierarchy on bid number based on say, cost centre, how do I get around the fact that number ranges have to be pre-assigned to cost centre, Cost Centre A = 1 to 1000, Cost Centre B = 1001 to 2000 etc. What happens if I go over the 1000 on Cost centre A? I then get non contiguous ranges per cost centre.
Is it possible for the bid number to be dictated by the user when they start to fill in the bid submission? Or give the impression that they are?
Or if the client has a bid number format that cannot be pre created? Eg incorporating things like year or person etc. This information could be save separately but not within the bid number. Is it possible to save data to dimension property columns from an input schedule?
Hope you guys can help
Many thanks
Phil

Error message posting Jounals

Hi!
I get the following error message twice when posting a journal:
"An error occured when parasing returned XML
Only one top level element is aloud in an XML document"
Despite the error message the data is sent to the database, the journal works but gives always an errror message and takes quite a long time to do and the posted journal isn't visualised on the screen but i find the journal I search for it.
I'm testing BPC 7 SP3 on SQL2008

Hi,
It looks like you have problems with the Journal templates. Please try to regenerate the template using the Journal wizard option. It will ask you to keep data into the system, so not problem regarding the data already registered. To be sure(if you are working on a production system), try to save all the jrn* tables from SQL server.
Best regards,
Mihaela

Journal entry disappears after saving and not available to post

Hi Gurus
On BPC for Netweaver version 7.5 and excel 2003 i am able to save the journal entry but am not able to post it since it disappears after saving. I could see the Journal ID being generated and then the layout gets cleared . i am unable to post this journal. Also when i go to journal manager and tries to list the journals this saved journal does not show up.
I have already set the application parameter "JRN_MAXCOUNT" to 1000 so that i can see the journals that i create.
Have any of you faced such an issue?
Regards

Hi Tara,
Thank you very much for your tip. I had Datasource as one of the header fields and i moved it to the item fields to make it work. I am still not sure why does that. May be because when we create the journal template system proposes only the required fields in Header and if select additional ones its not liking it.
I cannot come up with a reasoning why we cannot incorporate a non required field in header journal template . The obvious reason that i included the datasource dimension in header itself was because it was a common value that i want to use for all my journals.
Anyway i hope SAP would either fix this or come up with a reasoning.
Thanks again..

Error in Executing Default Logic

Hi,
I included a formula in default logic which is a simple multiplication of two account dimension members:
*BEGIN
[P_ACCT].[#CE0004220] = [P_ACCT].[CE0004210]*[P_ACCT].[CE0004230]
*END
Was able to successfully validate and save the logic. However, when I tried to send data, the system threw an error:
"- Error Message -
Error running default logic (Error checking work status)
- Rejected record List -
Error converting records: The root element is missing."
Have checked the work status and nothing seems to be amiss. Also, I tried removing the formula from the default logic and then sending the data - this worked.
So there must be some error with the default logic / work status. Could someone please help me out here?
Thanks in advance

Meiyalagan
Edited by: Meiyalagan Kulandaivel on Nov 27, 2008 10:06 AM

Hi Meiyalagan,
Can you please indicate which BPC release you are using ?
I would suggest that you first make the following 2 corrections on your formula:
1. Add a "#" to the member on the left of the equal sign
2. Put square brackets around the dimension and member names
[P_ACCT].[#CE0004220] = [P_ACCT].[CE0004210]*[P_ACCT].[CE0004230]
After that, you also may need to setup your workstatus. There are two places where you can defined workstatus.
1. On the application set level, you define a list of the status (like unlocked, submitted, approved, locked, ...) and who is allowed to do what (like that only the manager is allowed to post journal for example)
2. On the application, you indicate which dimension are used to set that workstatus (usually the combination category / entity / time is used to set and track these workstatus)
In the Entity (or the dimension you have the OWNER property), you defined the owner of that entity (can also be a list of user or a team). Each owner of a parent is considered as a manager of that entity. If I for example own the entity France, the owner of the Entity Europe will be considered as my manager (as well as the owner of the Entity World). The settings Owner and Manager are used in the Work Status table on the application set, to define who can do which task and who is allowed to change the workstatus (promote it to the next status).

Marcel

Journal report - template by account

I have a question about the journal report based on the by account template which comes with BPC. When I run it (for testing I have one journal only) and select an account, the report shows the correct journal ID but it shows both the credit and the debit entry, though only one of the two is posted to the account I have selected.
I wanted to use the report to check the amounts posted to a specific account by journal ID but it seems that this is not possible.
Has anyone worked with this report and can help me?
Thanks,
Arnold

Arnold - I am pretty sure that if you look at the account string, this report will show you both sides of each journal transaction.
This is another canned report that BPC automatically creates. It is built on SQL Services Reporting Services, and it is very limited. I would be interested in what others have to say, but so far I have not found many people on this discussion board that actively use Journals feature of BPC.
Something you may want to consider is to research how to set up a DQY file, to be able to start at an intersection and drill through to the detailed journals related to an account intersection.
Another thing you might want to try is to create a Data Manager package that would query the journal tables directly dbo.jrnApplicationName (which contains header info) and dbo.jrnDTLApplication Name (which contains detail journal info), and either send you the report in email or save it at a server location.

After BPC10.0 Installation, I don't see any values of environment in SPRO

Dear Experts,
I have installed BPC10.0 on Linux SLES10 with DB 11.2 & as per guide, i have completed all the post installations as well.
When I try to login on the web http://<hostname>:<port>/sap/bpc/web, i see a message "You don't have access to any environment.Please contact administrator.
Is this something to do with BPC consultant from here or I have missed out any post installation steps?
Also I checked for Environment parameter under SPRO, which shows no values found.
Please guide me & let me know for any additional information.
Regards,
Bharath.

Hi,
My issue has solved by re-executing the post installation steps in BW client, where I performed in 000 previously.
Hope this helps you to solve your problem.

Journals: managing flows and historic rate differences

Hello,
We are using BPC for a Statutory Consolidation project and need your help on journals:
We have two dimensions for accounts:
accountp for balance sheet and profit and loss accounts
accoutl for flows of the balance sheet (like opening, increase, decrise.. closing)
- question 1
There's a relationship between accountp and accountl,
for instance accountp "#ACC1" should just be related to accountl "#OPE", "#VAR", "#CLO"
Anyway the journal displays in correspondence of "#ACC1" all the possible accountl. Can we limit the view to just the right flows in some way?
- question 2
Some of the journal we are posting involve equity accounts. These journals need to be translated at a "forced" exchange rate, not at the ending exchange rate. is it possible to force exchange rates in journals?
Thank you for your precious help,
Giosuè

I donot think so that this is possible that exchange rate can be calculated as per document date.
To full fill this, you can make entry of vendor's invoice date as posting date.

Journal balance validation failed

I have activated YRN_BALANCE=Y parameters in BPC 10 MS Administration Console.
When I try to post the journal reported in figure below an error regarding journal balancing appears even if debit=credit.
The entity of the credit line is different than the entity in debit line.
Anyone could help me?

I have attached some images with all parameteres regarding journal that is configured in the application that I'm using

Restrict Delete Journal Functionality.

Hello Experts,
Our client is using, SAP EPM BPC NW Version 10.
In the security settings for Journals, we want to restrict the access to "Delete Journal" functionality to users.
If we give access to "Post Journal", "Delete Journal" access is automatically given. However we want to keep the access to "Save/Post/Unpost journal" and remove "Delete" access.
How can this be achieved ?
Kindly advice.
Thank you.
Rahul Shiralkar

Hi,
I think there is no standard way to restrict on Delete Journal. You can enhance standard program to restrict on user ID ( but its not advised to change standard programs)
