Work status setting

Dear Experts,
Basically, I am  from 5.1.
In 5.1, For Application work status settings we have, "AppSet Dim Names" , "WorkState", "Member Validation" Columns.
But in 7.0NW  i can see only "AppSet Dim Names" , "WorkState" columns.
Without "Member Validation" column how can we configure work status?
Please help me...
Thank alot in advance...

Hi Friend,
I Appreciated you with points! 
Suppose, I have two users Owner and a normal user.
My entity Dimension is the secure dimension. so, Owner property is configured.
Now, Owner logged in to Admin and Set "Locked" for "Started","Submitted" and "Aproved".
And  Normal user logged in ...and access input templates...and submitting data...
Now My question is.....When Owner "locked" the workstatus....How can a normal user can submitting the data..
It should be locked ..right?
Could you please put some light on this....?
Thanks lot in advance....

  • Blank work status setting page

    Hi,
      I did a backup of an appset from bpc 5.1 and restored it in bpc 7.0 MS.
      i have done all the security changes, changed the database name in the "owner" category in the "entity" dimension accordingly but i still can't bring up the work status changing page.
      after i clicked on "set workflow (approval status)", i was brought to a web page, but it just shows a blank action pane. back in 5.1, this would be where you use "active cv" or "another cv"
      i noticed a new column in work status settings, i.e. base hierarchy. and there's a default of "1" to all my work status dimensions. Does this have anything to do with my missing work status action pane?
      any idea? thanks in advance.
    cheers

    Hi Shyam,
      thanks for your reply, sorry that i can dedicate points to you. i thought by unmarking my question as a question, i can delete my question, but unfortunately it stayed in the sdn forum.
      it turned out to be a rookie mistake of not assigning the right users to the application set, after i did an appset restoration in a new server. i also should have assigned the task profile of "change work status" to the relevant users.
      thanks for your help again.
    cheers

  • Issue with setting work status

    Hi Gurus,
    I am using the standard work status (copied from Appset), in the applications work status setting I have set entity as owner and time and category as yes for work status. In the entity dimension under owner and reviewer property I have keyed in the correct user ids. I am using one of the owner user id to perform the activity mentioned below
    The issue I am facing is when I select modify work status from Esubmit menu it takes me to the web interface for setting the Work status after selecting the value for the 3 dimensions mentioned above when I click on OK it pops up a message that you are not authorized to change the work status setting please contact system administrator. The owners have admin profiles for auth so they should be able to do pretty much everything.
    would appreciate help on this
    BPC 5.1 Support Pack 2
    Thanks

    Make sure all the members within the parent hierarchy you are using have owners assigned.
    In BPC terms; Managers are the owners of parents, owners are the owners of members.
    For example the owner might be a clerk entering forecast data for a single/set of entities, (base level members). The manager owns the parent.
    Also, when testing, make sure you login to the system/server/domain/network, (whatever) with the userid you will be testing with and then login to BPC. (Just to be sure.)
    This should do it if you have everything else laid out!
    Good Luck!

  • Work Status Issues - BPC 10.0 NW

    Hello,
    I am having trouble changing a work status setting that is approved to open.
    We have three settings, default, open, and approved. Approved has data loads locked to everyone. The other two are open to everyone.
    Only a manager can modify the statuses. I am a technical support analyst so I have full access and can change any work status. However, when I look at the selection for the new status, all I see is approved. It will not let me choose another option. And this is for a specific company and month (June 2013). If I take that same company I can modify the closed status to open for other months and for the same company.
    Status is set on company code and time.
    Does closing at different hierarchies cause issues like this? Just not sure why I am unable to change it. Any thoughts?

    Hi
    When you need open a company code, make sure you open the parent node first and try to open individual company code.
    You also need to populate the OWNER property for company code dimension.
    thanks

  • Locked Work Status doesn't work

    Hi
    This is a new case.
    I have original work status like this. I show MAN only in this example
    Unlock    MAN=unlock
    Submitted MAN=owner
    Approved  MAN=locked
    Then I add a new work status line as the intial state
    Start     MAN=locked
    Unlock    MAN=unlock
    Submitted MAN=owner
    Approved  MAN=locked
    The purpose of the Start work status is to prevent the user submit something at the initial state.
    But the Start work status doesn't lock anything, user is freely to submit data on this work state.
    My analysis,
    I changed the current work status from Start to Unlock and switch it back to Start and the lock does its job.
    Anybody has the same issue?

    It is logical that it works only after you upgrade to unlocked and downgrade again. The workstatus mechanism makes use of a table called tblFINANCElock (or what name your application has). In the beginning there are no records in this table which indicates that the data is unlocked. Once you update the status for the first time a record is generated with a status. From now on the system can link the records to the work status setting that you have defined and see that status "start" should lock the data. I think this functioality works as it is intended, and the only workaround for you is to lock and unlock the data before the users start entering data for that period.

  • Error when trying to delete a work status option

    I am trying to delete one of our work states and I keep getting an error indicating the "operation has timed-out", has anyone seen this before?
    Thanks!

    Hi Amy,
    Whenever you try to delete a particular work state, it will delete all the work status related information from the database. This means that all the work status previously set for the transactional data will be lost. How many records do you have with teh work status set? You might be getting this error because there might be lot of records for whom the work status has been set.
    You might try to first take a bakup of all the work status related information from all the applications, then delete them. And then try to delete your work state.
    Hope this helps.

  • Unlocking work status

    Hi,
    We are implementing BPC 7.5 NW version and having SP04.
    we have an Entity A (parent entity) and unerneath that we have two entities B and C.
    In the Entity Dimension we have an owner peroperty in which for Entity A we gave a user (say Administrator as the owner) and for both Entity B and C we gave another user (say-BPcuser as the owner)
    So the user Administrator of Enitity A is the owner of Entity A and he is also now the Manager for Enitity B and C.
    After making these settings, when we try to modify work status through BPC for Excel it takes to BPC for WEB and in BPC for WEB we make the following selection.
    Category-Actual
    Entity- A
    Time -2010.April
    And in the next screen we are changing the satus from sUBMITTED to APPROVED ( TO lock the Data region) and save it.
    Now when we input any data for this data we are getting Check work status settings.( which is our desired output)
    However when we try to change the work status setting From Approved to Submitted (to unlock the data region) with the ID Administrator (i.e Owner of Parent Entity A) it is getting saved.However when we try to input the data it is still showing check the Work status settings.
    So can you please suggest me how to unlock the work status settings now so that we can post the data for that data region.
    Thanks,
    Shankar.v

    Hi,
    If you are in a development system and if you want to delete all the locks on the data at one go......you could try reordering your work states (rearrange your last work state for example by moving it one step further up). You get a message on the screen that this will delete all the locks on the data....just confirm the message. You could change the order again back to the original order.
    Above is only if you are working on a development system and for test if you want to delete all the existing locks at one go.
    If your system wants only to unlock a specifc dataset, select the required members of the work state dimensions (refer to your appliation and work staus to know what the work status dimensions are for your application). Note, if your selection includes any parent member for a dimension current work status is not displayed.(This is again as per the work status set up in BPC that work status is stored at non-parent members).
    Please let me know if you still have any issues in deleting the locks

  • Member Validation in Work Status settings

    Hello,
    Within the workstatus set up on application level (work status settings) one can define an owner dimension in the work state column and also define which dimensions are relevant for work state by indicating 'yes'.  How this works is clear. But for the other dimensions indicated as 'no' one can define member validation, the meaning and function of this is not clear to me.
    Has somebody any idea what this is about?
    Many thanks!

    You can change the work status settings for each application. Changing the work status settings involves identifying three to five 'work status dimensions,' and then defining specific members for the remaining non-work status dimensions used for validation purposes. You must determine which account you will use for validation of the data at the time the work status is changed. The validation account must be ”0u201D at the intersection of the 3-5 variable members and the members designated for the non-work status dimensions.  If the account is not ”0u201D then the owner/manager cannot set the work status.  This is an option feature.
    The dimensions you select as the work status dimensions are the variables in your business process. For example, the entity, category, and time might change based on who is submitting data, but the account, data source, reporting currency, etc., remains static. (Typically, Time is a work status dimension since data is usually segregated based on time.)
    For example, lets say that you set Entity, Category, and Time as your work status dimensions for a given application. You then set your other current view members to the following:  Account: Validation; DataSrc: TotalAdj; Intco: All_Intco; and RptCurrency: LC. In addition to assigning work status dimensions, you also specify which dimension is the 'owner dimension.' The owner dimension includes the Owner property. The owner property determines who can edit a work status setting. The following figure shows this setup, where Entity is the Owner dimension.
    A user attempts to post data to the current view shown in the following table. The system checks the 'validation' account to make sure the intersection equals zero (0). If so, the data is posted, and a success message is displayed. The user can now set the work state to 'submitted' on that intersection. Subsequent submissions to that exact intersection will be rejected. Users can only send data to the same intersection if the Entity, Category, or Time member changes.

  • BPF an Work Status in BPC v10

    Hi averybody,
    I am working in a project of BPC v10 and i have a question i would like to solve. Specifically i want to know if the new version of SAP BPC allow you to associate a step of the BPF with a change of the work status strictly.
    Does anybody know something concerning this item? Any additional information about new functionalities of BPF and work status?
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi
    You can certainly do that. When you've created a set of work statuses and want to associate the work states to a BPF, you can associate with a setting for Related Action along with the Input you are providing to the suers (scrnsht below). I am not sure you can make it mandatory for the user to change work status setting, but you can allow a change in the work status.

    I have 2 entities (companies) - C1111 and C1113.
    I have the script logic for calculation keyfigures for this entities (it is automatic chain).
    C1113  has entered the data and has locked it. When the C1113 will enter the data, the script logic will not been executed.
    I have tested it and I have received that:
    the script logic has broke when system has tried to write data into database after "Error Work Status check".
    If I change the line of script logic as
    *XDIM_MEMBERSET ENTITY = C1111,C1113
    calculation for C1111 is executed.

  • Work Status error BPC NW 7.5

    Hi,
    I am having some trouble with Work Status for BPC NW 7.5.
    When trying to change status I always get same message: "Controlled by rule has been violated". I've tried with differente ussers and I am suer they have all rights necessary to change status but, there is no way.
    Please help.
    Thanks in advance,
    Raul

    We have already made all tasks related to Work Status:
    1. Configuring Work Status u2013 Like Unlocked, Submitted and Approved
    2. Enter the Owner property in dim Entity
    3. Configure the work status setting at the application level: Entity as owner, Time and Category "YES"
    4. Aplication Administration --> Define the hierarchy as H1. We have defined the hierarchy in Entity PANETH1 also
    But still didn't work... as we though it should. We have gone through the Admisnitration manual for BPC NW75 and check everything again. Everythign was correct. But, we checked all appendix also. There is where SAP explains how is all working. In some stage, BPC thogh we were the manager (because of the Entity hierarchy structure) but our Work status was not define for a Manager (because we don't need it). We made a try with everything in BOTH and is Working!!! Cool.
    We are going to adjust everythign to our requirements now. But, we now itiis working correctly.
    Thank you very much for you help.

  • Work Status Report Date and Time Setting

    Hi all
    We are running BPC10 on servers configured with Central European Time which is currently 2 hours ahead of GMT allowing for Daylight Savings Time.
    From what i can see in BPC10 date and times are now stored in GMT (Zulu time) in the Audit activity tables so when a user updates the work status at say 11:00AM local CET time then a value of 09:00AM GMT is stored in the Audit Activity Header table.
    We have a report in excel that uses the EVLCK formula and will return the correct value of 11:00 am however if we run the Work Status Audit report on the Planning and Consolidation home page with user preferences set to Central European Time +1 then the time is displayed as 10:00am suggesting that daylight savings time is not accounted for. We need to set the time to Eastern European time +2 hours to display the correct figure.
    Can anyone explain why this happens? Has DST been overlooked?

    Hi Alan,
    probably it's a bug, I think it's better you open an OSS message to SAP.

  • Initial Work status not set autmoatically for new created member

    Hi,
    if we create a new budget version, and process the category dimension we notice that the first work status (locked in our scenario) is not set automatically by default... As a result users can still input data for the new budget version. Only if we first change the work status of the new budget version (and put it back), the work status can be applied ...
    Is this normal behavior?
    Dries

    Yes, I think what you're seeing is "normal" behavior -- it may not be what you want, though. In fact, I don't think this issue is limited to your creating a new member. It also applies to the existing members of your work status dimensions.
    I had one project like this, where the customer wanted the default work status to be locked, and then for the finance administrator to explicitly open up the category & time period for users. We never got it to work in a really clean manner.
    For the work status check to take effect, there must be records in the tblFinanceLock table (where Finance is the applcation name). And the only way that records normally get into that table is by changing the work status manually. We played around with a SQL script to populate that table, to automatically set the status to the first level (locked), but never found something that we were comfortable with.
    I'd be curious to hear if someone's made something like that work well.

  • In Process Order status "SETT" Settled

    Hi
    After settlement of Process Order, system status (SETT - Settled) of Process Order is not updating atomically. 
    After settlement of Process Order, Process Order allow only in Display mode & there is no posting allow against settled Process Order.
    Please suggest me what are the setting required.
    Regards
    ARK

    ARK,
    In your order type dependent parameters in transaction COR4, for you plant order type combination for Process documentation "Order record" radio button is active, that's why system is not allowing you to set deletion flag.
    Are you working on a client system or a training system where you are just trying to test different scenarios?
    If you are working in training system then in COR4 transaction for the plant order type combination you can activate the radio button for "No process documentation required". Now if you check the order it would allow you to set deletion flag.
    If you are working on a project and client system, you need to ask the user to execute transaction COPA to store the order records, once this is done you would be able to set the deletion flag. (Please note: Before you execute transaction COPA necessary basis setting for storing has to be in place.)
