Add Variable in an existing planning layout

Dear guys,
I have a problem with planning in KEPM.
in the planningslayout there was defined one variable for record type.
We want to plan the figures for three record types. In the planning level I added those three record types but I am not able to add more record types in the planning layout.
Can you let me know how can I add more variable for this chracteristic in the planning layout.?
kind regards
udo

It would also help me to know if it is possible to give an interval for the record type. If we try this, we only get the planfigures of the first record type in the interval.

I am new to BPS and planning
I have a requirement to add a new field which has values maintained as 0 and 1 to an existing planning cube.The user wants this new field in the existing planning layout where in he can enter the values for this field as 0 or 1.I have created a new field and maintained values for this field as 0 and 1.I have added this field to the existing planning area and have created variable with fixed value with range 0 to1.I have added the same in selections in existing planning level and package as well along with other existing selection conditions.
In additional functions of adhoc package they have made setting as set to all possible char combination.
In this planning area all the selections are locked in planning level and package.
Now when i execute the planning layout to enter data,my new field is grayed out,it does not allow me to enter the values.need help with this as to how can i make this field input enabled.This is an independent characteristic.
Thanks

Using a variable/drop down list in header of planning layout

Dear all,
I have created a simple BPS application for purely GL planning (No CO related objects like cost centre involved). I have the following characteristics in the header of the manuel planning layout.
Business area
Chart of accounts
Company code
Currency
Currency Type
Fiscal year
Fiscal Year Variant
Fiscal year/period
Value type
Version
I have created variables for Business area, Fiscal Year, Fiscal Year Period, Posting Period and Version. The client wants either a variable or a drop down list for these characteristics in the header in the web application. When I assign a variable and put the characteristic in header, I get the error message in the web application saying header characteristic can only have a fixed value. Can someone tell me if it is possible and if so than how? I'll be very grateful for any inputs. Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Sumit

Hi,
When you create a variable, assign some values to the variable. These then become available in the drop down box. Ths first time a Web interface is called, these variable values are initial.As a result, u get the error messages. Select the variable values and then the error message should go away.
Thanks,

Add a new table to an existing Print Layout Designer report

Is it possible to add a new table to an existing Print Layout Designer report? For example, in the Production Order there is a Sales Order field (which is displayed on the report), I would like to display some information from UDFs found on the Sales Order, but when I add a Database Field to the report the Sales Order tables does not appear in the list (OWOR).

Hi
It is possible provided there is a relationship which exists between two tables.
You can add a Database field. Goto the Properties and selct Content Tab.
Now in the Table dropdown, hold the Alt Key and click. This displays all the tables in B1. After selecting the Table, you can select the related Column.
Remember there should be a relationship which exists between this column and existing columns.
Because PLD works completely on Joins to my understanding

Error When generating the plan layout

Dear All,
When i try to generate the file description for COPA planning through KP34ER, i get the following error..
I have checked all four points that they have mentioned. Any idea why this coud be?
No data has been entered yet.
Message no. KG845
Diagnosis
The planning layout you are using (COPAGI) only contains selection criteria for which no data has yet been entered. As a result, the system cannot display any plan data.
In this layout it is not possible to add characteristic values. This could be due to the following:
1. Manual planning is not allowed for the specified record type. Only record types A, F, G, E, and your user-defined record types can be planned manually.
2. The planning layout was only defined to contain actual data. The plan/actual indicator "1" is nowhere specified.
3. The selected plan version cannot be planned.
4. The lead column was defined so that only the texts of the characteristic values are displayed. As a result, no new characteristic values can be added in planning.
Procedure
Proceed as follows, depending on what the cause was:
1. Use a record type that can be planned manually.
2. None
3. Choose another plan version that can be planned.
4. Change the planning layout so that the key of the characteristic values is displayed in the lead column.
Thank you
Gayani

Hi,
Another possible reason could be, that in the general data selection of the layout is used the characteristic which is not restricted in the plannig package to the single value:
Example:
Let say the char. Country is used in the general data selection and is not restricted in the pl. package. Since the value for the
general data selection characteristic is not possible to enter in the layout, it is not possible to enter any data, because the user
could not enter for Country and the system doesn't know for what Country the planning is done. If you restrict the Country in the pl. package to single value (e.g. JP) then it will work, since the system knows now, that the data which will be entered belongs to the Country = JP.
So please make sure, that all general data characteristics are restricted to the single value in the planning package. Then it will work.
When we specify single value the planlayout can be displayed with "0" because of there is in this case already created (together with values of other characteristics) a concrete profitability segment that exists certainly. That means system can find and display this profitability segment.
But when we put interval 0000 - ZZZZ for a characteristic system doesn't know which values from this interval are the valid values that are able to be displayed for planning. For example the value 1010 can exist but 2020 does not exist and it would make no sence to offer these invalid values for display of planning data.
In general, message KG845 in case of selection defined by interval is raised also due performance reasons. Selection
defined by interval(s) could lead to big number of possible combinations, which should be displayed regardless of fact that no data are already posted in database.
The idea is following- if there is selection defined by single values, then we don't care about performance and we display data (empty) values as it's fast(regardless of fact that no data are posted in database). In case of selection by interval, performance is an issue because we have to display all combinations of data, which can be generated. This could lead to thousands of possible combinations and long system response. This is not intended and it makes no real sense. Basic idea
here is that we use different approach in case that selection is defined by interval and different approach, when selection is defined by single value.
I hope this helps.

Waman

How to implemented Planning Layout for other plan

Hi,
I have one planning layout for X plant now I want to use same layout for anothr plant. Can I copy the same layout for another plant...? If yes pleast let me know the step with tr.code.
In this senario what I have to copy Planning area, Level or layout...?
Your help will be highly appreciated. I will assign full mark.
Regards
Manoj

Hello,
Why don't use restrict your layout by a variable based on the plant? This variable could for instance be put on the planning level.
Then just add this variable in your planning application via UPSPM.
The variable can be an authorization variable, exit variable, user specific variable...

Not able to view layout in Enhance planning layout UPX_MNTN

I have created a new layout in BPS0 . In the planning level, i have included User exit variable.
I selected the planning area in UPX_MNTN. However in Enhance planning layout, i could not see the layout, i had created in BPS0.
Do i need to do any other settings to view in UPX_MNTN ?

HI Ravindra,
          I was in the same boat. I had assigned an exit variable in one of the layout. It was not able to execute the layout till runtime, and that is the reason it doesn't come to Planning services.
        In short, planning services will show when all your variable values are getting populated before layput execution.
        I have another issue, where I want to populate brand based on selected products from CRM. I am unable to accomplish this. Please let me know, if you get any response.
Thanks and Regards,

Issue regarding Planning layout is not getting rendered and is dumping at : CL_RSDRC_TREX_QUERY_LAYER ~ _GET_PARTPROVS_WITH_TREX_PART in SAP TPM IP

Gurus,
I am facing an issue regarding SAP TPM IP ( HANA)
I have 3 Infoproviders
Planning infocube, Planning DSO1, Planning DSO2 and i created multiprovider and added these 3 infoproviders into it. I have created Aggregation level on multiprovider. Created Bex Input ready query on Aggregation level.
Issue is Planning layout is not getting rendered and is dumping at : CL_RSDRC_TREX_QUERY_LAYER ~ _GET_PARTPROVS_WITH_TREX_PART.
I tried debugging it and found it is trying to read i_r_pro -> n_ts_part. It is populated with only 3 values (i.e. 2DSOs and 1 Cube), whereas <l_partprov>-partprov is referring to Aggergation level, hence read statement isn't successful, it is dumping.
The class CL_RSD_INFOPROV_CACHE->GET() method is trying to populate the N_TS_PART.N_TS_PART uses P_R_INFOPROV table which seems to be already populated. So, I debugged all the below methods to find out how the P_R_INFOPROV but couldn't find any clue.
Can any one help,it would be really help.
Thanks
Ashok

Hello Gregor,
On the launch of planning layout it throws an error message:
Planning is not possible RSCRM_IMP_CORE008.
When I debugged, i got to a point wherein
particular Real Time Planning DSO is
not getting retrieved under the MultiProivder in below class.
Class: CL_RSCRM_IMP_ACTIONS_SERVICE, Method: GET_INFOPROV is not
returning the real time Info-Provider Name(i.e. Planning DSO)
underlyingthe Multiprovider.
I've also tried to run the report mentioned by you for the Multiprovider but issue still exists.
Let me know, if you have any pointers on this topic.
Thanks,
Jomy

Key figure flag in the planning layout

Hi,
Can anyone explain the importance of the key figure flag in the planning layout?
Regds
Pavan.

Hi Arun and Zegion,
Thank you for your responses.
Arun, I do not have any aggregates on the cube. I changed the aggregate properties of the Key Figure from SUM to Minimum. this has solved my problem temporarily.
the reason I am saying temporarily because this is a SAP delivered InfoObject. This is for the datasource 0CO_PC_PCP_01. When I read through the documents, it said, SUMMation for Aggregation and Last value for "Exception Aggregation" will display the value of KF as the last value and does not add them up.
Since this wasn't the happening in my query, I changed the Aggregation from SUM to Minimum.

S.P

Retreive the values from a user Input Popup before planning layout

Hi all,
The user run a planning layout and is coming the popup where he can choose :
Cost Center
Currency .
Is there any function module between executing the popup and showing the layout.
I have to create a function module to check the entries of the users.
Regards

Frank,
There are multiple ways to ensure that the values entered by the users are valid. A few of them are:
1. Restrict values for users with in SEM planning area.
2. Write custom code to restrict values in dropdown list.
3. Another way of doing it is by using two sets of variables. One for input by users and the other for passing the values in the planning level. The user would enter a value, the code for passing the value to the planning level, would check the data entered and then either pop up an error message or refresh the layout with the data.
As mentioned, the approach would depend on the specfic need and the design of the planning application.

Display multiple combination of values all at a time in the planning layout

Hi,
we are on BW 3.0B and SEM 3.1B. We've 2 characteristics "COUNTRY" and "CONTINENT" in planning level and package.
in the planning layout, we had placed "CONTINENT" in the lead columns and "COUNTRY" in the header are and COUNTRY is hidden.
Now, when we execute the layout for CONTINENT values "EUROPE and AFRICA" and COUNTRY values "GERMANY and SAFRICA".
output of the layout is as follows for country GERMANY
CONTINENT Value
EUROPE 123
EUROPE 234
EUROPE 456
as COUNTRY is in header, we need to scroll down (use down and upper arrows) to get values for next country SAFRICA combination of CONTINENT "AFRICA" in the layout as follows
CONTINENT value
AFRICA 342
AFRICA 267
AFRICA 768
How do we get the layout to display both AFRICA and EUROPE in the same page without a need to use arrows as follows
CONTINENT Value
EUROPE 123
EUROPE 234
EUROPE 456
AFRICA 342
AFRICA 267
AFRICA 768
the only solution, i can think of is move COUNTRY from header to lead columns. But, we have a need to keep COUNTRY in the header area. I doubt if we can achieve this, but i have some hope as COUNTRY is a hidden field in the header area which we can take advantage of.
any help is greatly appreciated.
thanks

Hi Marc,
yes. there u go. my name is hari.
thanks for your reply. sorry to confuse you. earlier, I just took a random example. Now, I am giving my problem in a more realistic way.
we have cube data as follows
Code Area Group Price
ABCD EUR 111 20USD
ABCD USA 222 30USD
Code, Area, Group are not attributes of each other.
we have a planning folder with variables for "Code" and "Area" with an input layout that has "Code and Group" in the header and "Area" in the lead columns.
after we execute folder, if we enter values "ABCD" for variable "Code" and variable range "EUR to USA" for "Area", current layout is as follows
======
Header
======
Code : ABCD
Group: 111 (not visible as Group is hidden in the header area of layout)
======
Layout
======
Area Price
EUR 20USD
for next combination, if we use down arrow to scroll down to Group 222, layout is as follows
======
Header
======
Code : ABCD
Group: 222 (not visible as Group is hidden in the header area of layout)
======
Layout
======
Area Price
USA 30USD
we are interested to see all "areas" for Code ABCD irrespective of "Group" as follows.
if we enter "ABCD" for Code and "EUR to USA" for "Area" variables, we need to have layout
======
Header
======
Code : ABCD
======
Layout
======
Area Price
EUR 20USD
USA 30USD
this might also work out for us.
======
Header
======
Code : ABCD
======
Layout
======
Area Price Group
EUR 20USD 111
USA 30USD 222
How do i achive this? we have a need to keep Group in the header area of the layout to get data from other source.
hope it is clear.

Error message when I calling planning layout in the STS

Dear
I'm trying to use Status and Tracking System with BPS ( SEM 4.0 SP10, BW 3.5 SP14 ).
But I got some error messages when I calling planning layout in the STS screen..
I designed 2 lower unit(A,B) and 1 upper unit(C) for the test. and using Bottom-up work-flow.
I did
1. Create Planning Area in the BPS0 ( also Level, Package, Layout ..)
2. Created Web Interface in the Web Interface Builder using the upper BPS Layout .
3. Customizing STS
    - Create Sub Plan & Session
    - Asssign Hierarchy to Sub Plan
    - Determine attribute for created planning session ( Bottom-up, Auto mail )
    - Define Header characteristics for planning session to contains the planning package completely.
    - Determine Date, Person Responsible and Layout.
4. Send Start mail
5. Open STS Web Start Screen ( using B Unit responsible user .)
When he click "Open Planning" icon in the screen the following error messages were happened...
I've no idea for that because I didn't use any variables or offset settings.
I guess that comes from header settings for the planning session because when I deleted the header settings for the planning sessions, I could see the planning layout.
but I could not use lock processing in the STS.
Could you tell me what's happening to me?
[ Following error message ]
Correct the data on variables and offset in character string "?
Message Number UPC_FW092
Long Text Diagnosis
Character string "", which contains data on the variables and offset, has an invalid format, and cannot be converted.
Procedure
Correct the character string, so that it has the correct format. A correct entry on variable and offset has the following form:
<VARIABLE_NAME> [{ + | - } OFFSET]
Examples:
VAR0
VAR1+1
VAR2 - 2.
Also check whether the variable, that you want to use is available in the planning area.

Hello,
this seems to be a bug. The error message should include a variable name between ''. Since there is none, the function that raises the error was not called correctly.
It's not likely that this is related to STS since STS does not use variables at all. It's probably a problem with the layout. If you can't resolve it, please open a message to SAP Support.

The columns must be marked with a * in the columnsin Planning layout

hi ,
Doeas anyone please tell me how to add ' * ' next to characetristic name in the Header of the planning Layout in only some columns headers.
i am not able to just add * and save.
is there any VBA code we have to use ? or any changes in the BSP application of the webinterface attached to the layout.
Suppose i have ' Company code ' in the column header of the planning layout.
i want in the output of the webinterface as ' company code* '
Regards,
Sandhya

Hi Sandhya,
in Excel Layouts you should use VBA. Loop over the cells of the column headings until you find the one with "Company Code". Then change it.
In Web Interfaces you can do the same with a JavaScript item.

Planning Layout Execution

Dear all,
I have a scenario would like to discuss and share. I have 2 planning folders, First planning folder has the correct volume, where as the 2nd planning folder the volume will get lesser, both also using the same planning version.
when i Click the planning layout in the 2nd planning folder, i save the data in the cube( i dint do anything in the input layout,system seem got some records generated after opening the layout) thus i go back to that bw infopackage, volume got some value has been minus out.
Question:Why the sytem behave in this way?how come i dint execute any planning function there is records generated? can we stop that? if not my volume will vary from one folder to another.
Feel free to give comment or solution,
THanks

Check if in your planing folder there is any function that start automaticlly on layout open or befor save.
Also check if both layout has the same selection condition in planing package an level and if they have same logic (based on existent data or generate all possible combination).
Hope it helps.
Regards
