To open a BPC excel input schedule through a Business Process Flow

Hi,
I have a Business Process Flow that has to open an excel input schedule.
In the define actions tab of a Process step, I have chosen the BPC for excel interface and open template option.
I browsed the necessary template to be opened.I have also provided the required inputs for member selection.
Now when I open the Business Process Flow and Select this Process step, it opens only the BPC for excel interface and not the excel input schedule template.
Can anyone expalin the reason that caused this problem and also a solution to fix this issue ?
PS :I am trying to open this Business Process Flow using BPC Web and my BPC for excel is not open yet.
Thanks in Advance

Hello Aparna,
Please select Application name in BPF.
Please check for Application name in which you are opening the template.
Thanks,

Reg MM business process flow

Hi All,
Cud U pls let me know the business process flow in MM( Material Management )???
Thanx in Advance

Hi
Generally any P2P cycle to start with the Requirement arises in the Industry so it starts with for stock materials
(1) Purchase Requisition (PR)
(2) Requst for quotaion (RFQ)
(3) Maintain Quoatation (after recieving quoattion from different vendors)
(4) Comparing Quotation (to select the best suitable vendor for purchasing the materials)
(5) Purchase Order (PO)
(6) Goods Reciept (GR)
(7) Invoice Verification (IVR) comparing the items and cost in the invoice with the PO and GR we will clear it for payment where vendor will be credited.
This is the general flow of P2P for stock materials. If we maintain source list (vendor records) we can compare the different vendors available at PR it self and thje steps 2,3,4 will not be there if we satisfy with the vendor prices available in the source list.
If the P2P is for services In step 6 instead of GR we will do Service Entry.

Business Process Flows

Dear Gurus,
This is Keerthi and am working for utility client in the UK. We are designing and developing SAP ISU as their business application. They have a requirement of developing business process flows (step by step procedure flow chart) for various processes as listed below. If you can provide any reference documents, it would be of great help
1. Manage Master Data (Contracts and BP)
2. Billing and Debt Admin
3. Incoming and Outgoing Payments
4. Reconciliations
5. Helpdesk
Apart from this any inputs on RT easy and BW reports would be highly appreciated
Thanks
Keerthi

Hi Pras,
>Users or Groups we add for each BPF are the users who can access the BPF.
>Owner or Reviewer of Entities should be part of these users to access the BPF and complete a step.
>Reviwer can accept or reject the step.When step is rejected, its status will be changed from completed to uncomplete and user A may make changes and submit it again.
>There can be any number of reviwers i guess. A comma seperated list of user list in reviwer property should do.But I havent tried this.
>And the reviewer status is driven off by property from the drive dimension selected while defining BPF. In generall it is entity, but can be any dimension in which the reviwer property is defined.

BUSINESS PROCESS FLOW (BPF) TASK SETUP - CURRENT VIEW OPTIONS

This article explains a few findings regarding the options on Current View Type for setting up Business Process Flow tasks and will discuss BPC for Excel, Data Manager and BPC Web tasks.
Future posts will cover more tasks.
This is valid for 5.x versions only.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
DATA MANAGER PACKAGES
    Data Manager Packages tasks such as Run Specific Package, Run User Package are not integrated
    with the Current View Type selection. Therefore, the options Inherit from Data Region, Inherit from
    Current View or Member Lookup does not work on Data Manager Packages. This is due to the diversity of Data Manager Packages, such as Import, Export, Clear, Default Formulas, each of them requiring a complete different set of parameters, some of them not related to the Current View.
1. INHERIT FROM DATA REGION
Once you choose to Open a BPF from BPC for Excel, you are prompted to choose the Data
Region. Upon setting the desired Data Region, the Current View is changed
accordingly on BPC Web.
    OPEN TEMPLATE / REPORT LIBRARY / SCHEDULE LIBRARY
    If a step is defined as Open Template/Report Library/Schedule Library
    and INHERIT FROM DATA REGION is set to one (or more) of the Data Region
    dimensions, the Current View on BPC for Excel should change to match
    the settings done Data Region settings, being the same as the one on BPC Web.
    SET WORK STATUS
    Same as above.
2. INHERIT FROM CURRENT VIEW
    OPEN TEMPLATE / REPORT LIBRARY / SCHEDULE LIBRARY
    If a step is defined as Open Template/Report Library/Schedule Library and INHERIT FROM
    CURRENT VIEW is set to one (or more) dimensions, the report will pickup the Current View
    from BPC Web and BPC for Excel should change to match the Current View,
    being the same as the one on BPC Web.
    Example:
    1. Log on to BPC Admin on ApShell -> Manage Application Sets;
    2. Go to Business Process Flows -> Budgeting Process;
    3. Grant access to the BPF to your test user;
    4. Check Sub-Step 1 of Step 1 - Check Budget Data. This steps has a
       INHERIT FROM CURRENT VIEW setup (ENTITY).
    5. Log on to BPC Web on ApShell;
    6. Go to Open a Business Process Flow and choose Budgeting Process;
    7. Choose the desired Data Region;
    8. On BPC Web, verify the value setup for ENTITY on the Current View;
    9. Open the Check Budget Data;
    10. The ENTITY on the Current View will be set up accordingly to what
        was set on BPC Web.
    SET WORK STATUS
    Same as above.
3. MEMBER LOOKUP
    OPEN TEMPLATE / REPORT LIBRARY / SCHEDULE LIBRARY
    If a step is defined as Open Template/Report Library/Schedule Library and MEMBER LOOKUP
    is set to one (or more) dimensions, the report will set the Current View
    on BPC for Excel to the member that was configured.
    Example:
    1. Log on to BPC Admin on ApShell -> Manage Application Sets;
    2. Go to Business Process Flows -> Budgeting Process;
    3. Grant access to the BPF to your test user;
    4. Check Sub-Step 1 of Step 1 - Check Budget Data. This steps has a
       MEMBER LOOKUP setup (CATEGORY).
    5. Log on to BPC Web on ApShell;
    6. Go to Open a Business Process Flow and choose Budgeting Process;
    7. Choose the desired Data Region;
    8. On BPC Web, verify the value setup for CATEGORY on the Current View;
    9. Open the Check Budget Data;
    10. The CATEGORY on the Current View will be set up accordingly to what
        was set on the Task configuration, in other words, there should be BUDGET set
        on the Current View.
    SET WORK STATUS
    Same as above.

Business Process Flow for old records

A customer has asked us to decommission the Business Process Flow for a particular security role.
I have done this and all is well for new records.
Unfortunately the Process Bar still appears for old Leads. I think I can understand the behaviour: if you change the process, the old records will still show process bar that existed at the time they were created. This includes removing it presumably.
My question is, can I remove the legacy instances of the process bar either through the interface or by code?

Update: I created a command line to update the stageid and processid to NULL.
These fields are now clear, however when I open an affected record the form pops up an error message:
Unhandled Exception: System.ServiceModel.FaultException`1[[Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.OrganizationServiceFault, Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk, Version=7.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35]]: Cannot insert duplicate key.Detail:

I can see that the Process Bar is still showing.
Is there something else I would need to do?

Indeed, if by chance you have not seen the related How-to-Guide, there is an [Article|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f085dd92-a40c-2c10-dcb1-a7c24476b23a] on How to Create a Custom Menu in BPC NW here on the BPX community.
There is also a lot of explanation on using EVMNU on the SAP Service Marketplace in the [Documentation Addendum|https://service.sap.com/~sapidb/012003146900000031772009E/7NW_SP02_Doc_Addend.pdf] to BPC 7.0 SP02 NW Central Note 1306898

BPC 7.5 NW Business Process Flow reopen function

Hi,
i have e question concerning the reopen function whithin business process flows.
I set up a business process flow with several steps and use the match step region function. The users are able to go through the bpf steps just for one plant and they don't have to wait for the users of other plants. In most steps we implement a reopen function for the case that users want do add or correct something. I expect, when I reopen one previous step, this step just reopen for one plant, but the reopen function opens the previous step for all plants.
Are there any posibilities to use this reopen function just for one plant and not for all? Is this perhaps a customizing issue?
Thanks in advance
Christian

Use of Business Process Flow in BPC

Hello Everybody,
I am new to SAP BPC. I am able to create a New Business Process Flow in BPC.
But Can any one tell me what are the actual Uses of Business Process Flow in BPC.
Thanks a lot in Advance!
Regards,
Satish.

Hi,
BPF can be compared a little bit with 'guided procedures' in BI: you define a pre-defined process consisting of multiple steps which have to be executed by the user to come to the end result. You can choose to oblige the user to first finish step X before starting step Y. A step can be lots of things like input data, set a certain status, ... BPF are executed in BPC web. Disadvantage is that once you finished a step in a BPF, you cannot set it back (unless everything is initialized ...)
Alternative could be a custom menu, in which you also make a list of activities, but the user is free to execute any step in any sequence

Any change in Business Process Flow for BPC 7.0 NW from BPC 5.1

Dear all,
With the release of BPC 7.0 NW, i was wondering if there's any functional or technical differences in the Business Process Flow compared to BPC 5.1?
Cheers

I second Sorin's observations and comments. There are several limitations in using STS workaround. It is true that STS will be available to use with NW BI. However in order to use that you will have to create a planning area in BPS. Even after doing that you will not have the security framework of BPC available to you in STS. All you can do is list out the steps in the process flow, may be link your planning workbboks and have email notifications sent out upon completion. the other option mentioned was that of SAP workflow. Since BPC7NW has NW platform, SAP workflow is available to you and you can link the BPC process chains to it if you so desire. But again, it won't have BPC security and it won't be even close to BPF in look and feel. The best option is to wait till BPF becomes available in future BPC NW version to use.

Pravin
