Affect of a new planning level selection

Hi,
we have a BW-BPS environment with lots of BPS functionalities, palnning sequenses, save, copy functions...
Until now we have all products from SAP R/3 extracted.
Newly there are now in SAP R/3 lots of small products. Planning people donu2019t want to see and plan all products in planning layouts. They want to see to plan only the "important products".
The following solution is thought.
we will create a product hierachie with 2 hierarchie node: "important products" and "small products".
the hier. node u201Cimportant productsu201D should be used in all planning levels in selections.
How can it (selection in planning level) affect the current planning functions ?
What would you suggest here?

Hi,
Planning functions are assigned to just one planning level. So if you have planned to restrict the values using Hierarchy at planning level, then the underlying functions will apply only to that hierarchy members.
regards,
Lokesh Nandula

Creation of new planning level in BPS0 in BW 3.5

Dear Experts,
I have to create a new planning layout in BW 3.5 BPS
for this ,I have followed the below procedure:
-Maintained the master data of new keyfigures in Info Object: Key Figure (0MEASURE) in RSA1
-Copied the Similar Planning level in the same Planning area (in which I need to add the new one) and created a new planning level with its subordinate objects and then changed by deleting the keyfigures except # and added the new keyfigures, to be maintained in new planning area and saved.
-Changed the planning layout (which is created automatiacally whne we copied planning level) by deleting the existing key figures except 0KEYFG_FLAG and added the required key figure and saved.
-copied the planning profile and created a new planning profile and changed it with required planning level and package and saved.
-In T-code:upx_mntn1, I could see the new planning level with the required key figure there.
But this new planning profile is not appraring in the CRM server.
As I haven't worked in BPS , please guide me if there is any thing needs to be done or any changes in the procedure followed.
Please share any documentation or links you have ....regarding this
Please share your Ideas
Thanks in advance....

Hi,
The Planning Profile has been created in CRM also and hence the configuration is working

Characteristic Selection u201Cnot assignedu201D on planning level

Hi experts,
we are using BW-BPS.
On planning level selection some characteristics have the following condition.
0PROFIT_CTR Equal to: #
What does it mean exactly ?
What is the difference between u201Cno selectionu201D and = u201C#u201D ?
Thanks

If it is blank, then any underlying layouts, or functions can be run for any specifiv profit centres, or all possible profit centres including 'not assigned' - there is no restriction at the Level, so all will be read.
if the restriction is set to #, then the functions/layouts can have no assigned profit centre, and no postings will be made on any profit centre (or whatever the characteristic is set to). (It is more like leaving the chracteristic completely out of the level than leaving it blank).

Open 'Final Rating Page' with the New Proficiency Level Pre-Populated

Hi
Here is the requirement.
Competency rating entered in the 'Update Standard Appraisal' page, to be Pre Populated in the 'New Proficiency Levels' of the Final Rating Page. Though we have the Scores of the Final Rating Page pre populated with the proficiency levels selected in the previous page, if we do not have the New Proficiency Levels selected in the Final Rating PAge, then ratings would be stored as NULL. Meaning, user has to enter the information twice in the subsequent forms.
Is there a way to get this done? Please do suggest.
Thanks
Arun

Your template contains an IE Conditional Comment that is adding 30px of top padding to #sidebar1. This padding may required in older versions of IE but not IE9.

To fix it, change [if IE] to [if lt IE 9]

Setting # for 0CALYEAR in selection for planning level in BPS

hi all!
when i try to set # for 0CALYEAR (and other time variables) in selection for planning level in BPS, i recieve the following error message: 'Value # is not permitted for characteristic Calendar Year' (UPC003). As i understand, this problem began to occur after upgrading to SPS12.
we have BI 7.0 installed
can anyone help me solve this problem please?


Hi 
Check in year master data if value BLANK (#) exists. System should permit only those values for characteristics which are available in master data tables. 
Secondly, does system allow you to select value # for calendar year using the F4 drilldown?
 
Hope it helps. 
Cheers Abhijit

Selecting the Planning Level for Statistical Forecast in S&OP on HANA

Hello together,
we currently face an issue regarding the statistical forecast in S&OP on HANA:
The customer wants to implement an S&OP process containing the two steps statistical forecast (automatically calculated) and sales forecast (manually determined). The planning level of the statistical forecast should be higher than the planning level of the sales forecast, i.e. the statistical forecast is calculated on a higher planning level and then disaggregated to be an input for the manually determined sales forecast.
Since it doesn't seem to be possible to disaggregate any key figure below its base planning level we need to have the lower sales planning level as base planning level in all key figures, including the input and output key figures of the statistical forecast.
When running a statistical forecast with a defined forecasting profile, the planning level used for the forecast seems to be the base planning level of the input/output key figures defined in the forecasting profile.
However, we need to define a higher planning level for the statistical forecast in order to have a better data base for recognizing trends and sesonality. In APO DP it is possible to define the planning level for the forecast when running/scheduling the forecasting job. Is this also possible in S&OP on HANA? Can we define the planning level for the forecast in the forecasting profile or when running the forecast from the Excel AddIn? I tried to use the field "Filter" in the forecasting profile as it listed all the planning levels (as well as a lot of other things, we don't know where they come from), but the forecast was still carried out on the base planning level.
Do you have any other idea where to define the forecasting planning level that is different from the base planning level of the input/output key figures?
Thank you in advance,
Jonathan

Hi Bert,
thank you for your fast answer. I checked the forum again and found this post:
Question about Statistical Forecast
However, I don't really get how the disaggregation is meant to work; the suggestion seems to be to calculate a forecast on an aggregated level, i.e. with input and output key figure with an aggregated base planning level, and then disaggregate it "somehow".
Do you have any idea how this disaggregation might work and what other steps I have to consider?
It seems as if I'd have to define a whole bunch of new key figures and have more than one output key figure but no input key figure for the statistical forecast, which doesn't make sense in my eyes.
Actually I was looking for a solution where I can define my forecasting profile with both input and output key figure on the lower planning level and then insert the level I want the forecast to be done at either in the profile as well, or even more flexible when running or scheduling a forecast. Defining more key figures any time I need another forecasting level does not appear very comfortable. Is it meant to be like that or is there another way to reach the goal mentioned above?
Cheers,
Jonathan
Edit: The mentioned thread contains some valuable information on how to disaggregate key figures. However, the really tricky decision is how to define the disaggregation ratio.

Reading Charact. Selection in Planning Level using Exit Var FM

Hi Expert,
i have to do a data slice with an Exit Variable that looks at selected data in the planning level and check in a custom table if the corresponding charact in the level is flagged in order to fill the variable with this value and lock data.
Any idea of the code for reading, in an Exit Var FM, data from Charact selection in the planning level?
Any hints will be very appreciated and rewarded.
Tanks

Costing affect with MRP at planned order level and after production order

Dear all,
How the costing affect with MRP at planned order level and after production order completion?
Edited by: Maulik on Jun 24, 2009 1:59 PM

Dear Maulik,
check Mr. Vinod's inputs abt costing
1. Maintain following master data:
MM01 Material Master with Costing and accounting view. Make sure all the cost Std, Moving avg etc is maintained along with valuation class in Accounting view 1. In costing tab pls make sure "with qty structure" and "Material Origin" are ticked.
CS01 BOM with components marked with costing relevance in Status/Long Text Tab. Also check all the qty are correct.
CR01 Work Center in Basic data tab maintain standard value key sau SAP1 and in costing tab maintain the workcenter, activity type and formulas (Usually standard formulas like for Machine Hours SAP006, Labour SAP007, Setup Activity SAP005 is used).
KL01 Cretae activity types, in basic data tab maintain ATyp Category AS "1" and cost element (as provided by your FI Guy).
KP26 Activity pricing, here with the combination of Activity type and the cost center you assign price to the activity.
2. SPRO Activity
Maintain Costing sheet IMGControllingProd cost controllingProd Cost PlanningBasic settingoverheadsdefine costing sheet.
OKKN Define costing variant, you define costing type (In the costing type, you define the purpose of a material cost estimate by specifying, for example, which field in the material master record the costing results can be transferred to like std price, moving avg etc), Valuation Variant (defines how the prices are prioratized), date control and transfer structure.
3. Costing Process Flow:
1. CK11N CREATE COSTING RUN
2. CK24 CREATE PRICE UPDATE (You Mark and release the prce to be updated)
4. COSTING VARIANT WRT PP
1. OPL1 DEFINE COSTING VARIANT WRT PP
2. OKK4 or OPN2 DEFINE VALUATION VARIANT
3. OKK1 or OPM1 DEFINE COSTING TYPE
4. OPL8 ORDERTYPE DEPENDENT PARAMETER (assign the above creted costing type for both planned and actual)
Hope this will throw some light on product costing.

How do the new plans affect current Business Plans?

Couple of questions.
1. Do the share everything plans affect business accounts?
2. we have 10 lines. 4 Iphones. I understand that if you upgrade your phone from now on you will loose your unlimited data. So say 1 employee wants to upgrade their iphone when the new one comes out. Does our entire accounts unlimited go away since he upgraded?
Any comments would help

Hello Iphone1234! I would be delighted to provide you with information about our new Share Everything Plans and how it will affect you. While you have the option to take advantage of our new Share Everything Plans you are not required to make the change.
In regards to upgrading a specific line, if this happens and you accept a discount you will lose the unlimited data for that line only. You would need to choose a tiered data plan like 2GB for $30 per month. Here is a link to our new plans...http://tinyurl.com/d3so4pg Have a great day!

Select planning level for forecast caluculation manually

Dear all,
In S&OP on HANA we would like to run the forecast on a more aggregated level than the base planning level.
The base planning level in the input/output key figure of the forecast profile is supposed to be lower than the level which should be used for forecast calculation. If the filter in the forecast profile menu is set to the higher level, the forecast is still calculated on the base planning level and aggregated according to the settings in the key figures.
Is it possible to manually define the planning level the statistical forecast is supposed to be run on?
Thank you in advance!

Hi Nikhita
There is a transaction " define planning levels for logistic". In this step you allocate transaction from MM and SD to the planning levels you ahve defined. this allocation is neccessary since the system cannot determine planning level by using master record fields as it does to access data from FI.
In FI planning level for G/L is specified in G/L master. However a business transaction in logistics is represented by an Internal ID
1 = PR
2 = PO
3 = Scheduling agreement
you must assign these transactions to a plannning level in CM
T-code :- Financial Supply Chain Management> Cash and Liquidity Management>Cash Management>Structuring>Define planning levels for Logistics
Please let me know if you ahve done this setting. Would advise you to revisit your config for INT code - level- Planning group.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if you still cant get around.
Thanks

Planning Level Root Question (Periodid Vs Monthly)

Hello,
I have a question related with planning level configuration.
In the standard SAP Planning area
SAP2 - All the planning levels have been defined monthly attribute as the root for time
SAP4 - All the planning levels have been defined periodid attribute as the root for time
What is the difference between both type of configuration. (Selecting Monthly / period id as the root, what difference it creates and how it affects other areas)
I was testing consensus demand key figure in SOP 3.0 and I am unable to edit the key figure value in my planning area (KF value change in Excel) which is a copy of SAP4 planning area. Initial response from SAP OSS is to modify the planning level and use monthly instead of Periodid (But I have just copied the standard SAP4 planning area).
Uploading the key figure using KF template works fine but issues comes only when I tried to change the value in Excel or try to input new values in blank cells.
Same thing I also tested in IBP 4.0 FP1 Patch 1 and configuration is exactly the same as SOP 3.0 (Both SAP2 and SAP4 planning area) but I am able to modify consensus demand key figure in both the copied planning area (Copy of SAP2 and SAP4) irrespective of monthly / periodid selected as the root.
Please let me know if you have observed this before and what are your feedback/suggestions.
Thanks

2 variables for same characteristic in planning level in BPS

Hello,
I would appreciate your help implementing this scenario: a user has access to certain versions and should be a able to copy data between 2 of those versions.
We have 4 versions on our master data: 001, 002, 003 and 004.
A certain user should be able to access versions 001, 002 and 003, and should not be able to access version 004.
So we have an authorization object applied to that user with:
-> 0TCAACTVT EQ 03
-> 0TCAIPROV EQ <real time infocube>
-> 0TCAVALID CP *
-> 0VERSION EQ 001, 002 and 003
Then, users should be able to copy data between versions.
We created 2 variables on planning area, named ZVERSOLD and ZVERSNEW, with these characteristics:
-> Characteristic: 0VERSION
-> Replacement Type: USERVALUE User-defined values
-> Restriction of Values Required by User: enabled
-> Input Allowed by User: enabled
So this particular user should only see those 3 versions when pressing F4 when filing both variables.
After that, we created the planning level with the u201Ccopyu201D planning function.
But now, on planning level, we need to restrict 0VERSION, but we have a problem because we are not able to restrict it using 2 variables (ZVERSOLD and ZVERSNEW). Only one.
If we donu2019t use any variable, user gets an authorization error because he is not able to access to all data due to authorizations.
Does anyone have a way to avoid this issue? Should authorizations be defined in a different way? Should variables be defined in a different way?
Hopefully I exposed all required details to get help, and that my question wasnu2019t too much confused.
Again, thank you very much in advance for your support.
Rui

Hello,
If you restrict the VERSION with variable ZVERSNEW for target version then the function should work. But if you get any error related to reading reference data for the source version then you can create a new variable of type exit and populate it with the values selected by the user in two variables ZVERSOLD and ZVERSNEW using the two APIs :
API_SEMBPS_VARIABLE_GETDETAIL - to get the current value of the two Variables
API_SEMBPS_VARIABLE_SET - to set the Variable Values for the Exit type variable

Issue in assigning new Planning Calendar for MRP.

Hello Experts
I have trouble in setting up new Planning calendar for S&OP and MRP process. Let me explain in details
Requirement is, currently I am using standard country specific Factory calendar format (monthly period) per plant. But new requirement has came up and Company wants to change beginning and end of period (monthly) -- as shown below
Current Calendar
1 July to 31 July = period 1 - 2014
1 Aug to 31 Aug = Period 2 - 2014
and so on..
New requirement is ( Last week of Friday is end of Period)
Sat 28 June to Fri 25 July = Period 1 - 2014
Sat 26 July to Fri 29 Aug = Period 2 - 2014
Sat 30 Aug to Fri 3 Oct = Period 3 - 2014
and so on..
(basic concept is to keep
4wk, 5wk, 5wk for Quarter 1
4wk, 4wk, 5wk for Quarter 2. and so on.. )
I have setup new planning calendar in MD25..
ie. min period, start of period not a working day, Calculation rule & Period etc...
then assigned new planning calendar in MM02 - MRP2 and also in MRP1 used Lot size PK... etc..
But when i Put demand in MC88.. which gives us std month format and transfer to DM, then Ran MRP but some how MRP is not creating correct Qty in planned demand as per new calender..
i.e.. 1 July to 31 July = period 1 - 2014 if total demand Qty for Material XYZ is : 50
I am expecting planned demand result in MRP as... Sat 28 June to Fri 25 July = Period 1 - 2014 - should be 50 in total.. but It's not..
Any reason? Or I am missing some settings?
Thank you in advance..
PC...

Thanks KK/Umesh
Business wants planning calendar in this format. And Fiscal Year Variant has also been set according to new calendar.
KK, Regarding MC88 there is no option to incorporate planning calendar into S&OP process. And Organisation's S&OP process is set from day one (Planning by ProdGrp/Material) so MD61 would not be a good option to use.
Umesh, regarding "start of period not a working day", I have selected "do not displace". And 27/09 and 27/12 dates are set holiday. The major issue here is: Not every 4th Sat of month is Period start day, MRP is picking new planning calendar (defined in above table) from the system But some how when transferring forecast data from planning table to demand management (MC88), system don't recognize new planning calendar and it distributes demand over weekly bucket per regular month Calendar instead of new planning calendar..
Some how I need to incorporate new planning calendar into S&OP setup somewhere, Any thoughts?
Thanks.

Difficulty in adding new parameter in selection screen of GR55 report

Hi Gurus,
I have a requirement to add an extra field in Cost center:Act/Plan/Comm CC Cur report.This is otherwise a Z report in report painter with 0% code (T-code : GR55-> Report group->Report).But,when we go to technical information of this report,it has four standard sap programs,which contains code for this selection screen.It does not even have a modification scope.
Selection screen of this report contains following parameters:
Selection values:

Plan Version
Selection Groups:
Cost Center Group
Or value(s)
Cost Element Group
Or value(s)
My requirement is to add one more parameter : Purchase oeder in new block:
Is there any way to achieve it.
Note: Copying the standard progs into custom prog is not working,i already tried that.
Please let me know your suggestions,if any one of you came across such requirement before.it is very impoertant for me.

Hi,
This report (and all generic reports which are based on the same library) looks on CCSS structure. This structure extracts data from totals tables. Therefore, it's not possible to add the parameter of purchase order, as it's a detail line attribute.
