"Allow multiple currencies per entity" option in Planning web form

Hi, All
The desciption of the option I pasted from the oracle doc library is:
•Allow multiple currencies per entity: If the application supports multiple currencies, allow entities to support multiple currencies, regardless of base currency. Users can select currency for displayed cell values in data forms
Well, assume that app has USD as a default currency. App was built in EPMA with multi currency option. All entities have USD as a local
I build a form and set this flag. According to the text above i want to enter some values (for example for one of the account) in GBP, can I?
All i need is the binary anwser, Yes or No. Honestly it's not the truth because if the anwser will be Yes i'll be surprised how? I can enter GBP in cell but after saving it returns to USD
I've allready searched question like this and have found a couple but not answered

Hi, Alp
Thank you for you answer. I've checked your link and it's amazing that information like this was written not in admin but in user guide.
Another thing i've wondered that it depends on setting of Calculate Currencies calc script (run on save). But it's just a think men must know and do I think.
Unfortunately I can't see how does it work, although I've done this settings.
If I set local currency for one of the entity as GBP then I can enter data in GBP of course and Calculate Currencies script runs ok. I can see exact values for local (GBP) and default currency (USD) just on planning form as I set currency dim in page.
But in my case when i set local currency for this entity back to USD entered value in GBP always changed back to USD regardless of Calculate Currencies script settings. It happens during save on the form
Can I get a bit more information about some other settings to be done to make this functionality work?
BR,
Vladimir

Allow Multiple currencies per Entity

Hi All,
When we will use "Allow Multiple Currencies Per Entity" in a data form ? The name itself is confusing. It means, we can enter many currencies per entity ?

Hi All,
If we use "Allow multiple currencies Per entity", do we need to take Entity in the Pages and Currency (Local & USD) on the Columns ? For ex. if i select Entity as USA in Page, then we need to enter the value for Local currency right ? In that case, how Allow multiple currencies per entity works ? In this example, we can enter the data for USA only right
I'm unable to understand this logic. Pls. clarify me.

Multiple currencies per entity in data form

Is it possible to disable users changing currency code in data forms with "Allow multiple currencies per entity" option?
I want users can see currency code for cell in data form, but can't change it.

Hi,
A really simple script would be
function customCellValidatePre(row, col, cell) {
//check app
if (equalsIgnoreCase(applicationName,"Enter App Name")){
// check form
if (equalsIgnoreCase(formName,"Enter Form Name"))
// enter 3 digit valid currencies for application
var validCurrs = new Array("USD", "ZAR", "AUD", "CLP", "BRL", "CAD", "GBP", "EUR");
if(listContainsName(validCurrs,cell.value)){
// looks like user has tried to update a currency code
cancelDrag();
EnterCellx(row, col, true);
return false;
Just enter a set of valid currencies for your planning application.
The script just basically checks if any of your currency codes have been entered, if they have it will just return back to the cell without updating the currency code.
Cheers

Reporting Multiple Currencies per Entity? Tools or Methods? Planning

The customer wishes to be able to enter more then one local currency. So they could have USD and CAD or USD and Euros for the same Entity.
The requirement is to be able to report on totals by currency.
What is the best way to get report totals of LOCAL currencies when there can be more then one per Entity. So the cell has the currency code in Essbase.
I can get this with various steps with the excel addin or smartview but how to get it with FR or other tools?

Customised Option In Planning Web forms.

Hi All
Is there a way in the planning webform, to restrict members showing in the form, for example, I have Entity, Employee, Position. Depending on the entity selection I need to display Employees on the form. Is there anything I have to do from the out line or Planning. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Not simple, but the best way is to use dynamic user variables and then make the form row selection to be "descendants/children" of the user variable.
Works pretty well and we've used it a fair bit.
Hope this helps

Multiple payment option on event web forms

I would like to be able to allow for a 1 pay and 3 pay option on a web form where it would charge the customer 3 equal payments and then turn off automatically if they choose the 3 payment option. Has anyone figured out a way to do this form inside of BC?

Hi,
We want to give the customer the option of either paying by credit card on our own site (which is seamless) but we also want to give them the option of going to the paypal site which is why we have that radio button option. It seems that if the submit button is pressed but they don't go through with the payment on the paypal site that the event booking still takes place. I know about the "Pay Now" buttons that are used with Paypal standard but the option to insert the paypal payment method is available from the web forms sections of BC. I created the form using the e-commerce part of the web forms section so the option seems to be built into the form code by the BC developers. I'm just wondering whether this is a limitation of using a form with a paypal option on an event booking form. Do you know if there is a workaround, ie. whether there is any code that could check to see if the payment went through before creating the event booking?
There's also another problem that I ran into when I did a complete test, by clicking the paypal option, and then going through with a payment on the paypal site. The payment went through successfully but then when the browser tried re-directing back to our site, I got the following error:
ERROR: An unknown error occurred. This is most likely due to the merchant profile not being set up correctly. Please contact your system administrator for help
I spoke to Paypal about this and they said that this was a problem with the BC code. Do you know what causes this error and what the workaround is?
Really appreciate any further help.

Attribute dimension in the planning Web form

Hi All,
Is there any option to populate attribute dimension as a drop down in the Planning web form, I see option to show attribute dimension in the Other Properties page in the web form, But attribute dimension is not showing in the drop downs. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
KGP

I don't think there's anything specific one does to make the attribute dimension show up on the form.
When I look at the Member Selection Entity window on my form, in the upper left hand side I see a box labelled "Members in Entity".
Directly below that is another box labelled "Attributes".
Are you sure that you really have the attributes assigned?
You can check in Classic Planning, by managing dimensions, selecting Entity, and then clicking on the Custom Attributes button. You should then see the attribute dimensions/members assigned to Entity.
You can also check in EAS.
I believe the association also appears in EPMA but it's been a while since I looked at it.

Restricting the values of a dropdown in Hyperion Planning web form

Hi,
I have two dimensions(Entity and Project) represented in the page of a Hyperion Planning web form.Is it possible to constrain the values of a dropdown(Project) based on the value selected in another dropdown(Entity) in a data form in Hyperion Planning 11.1.1?
Best Regards,
Malini

The short answer is no.
You could make separate forms per entity which could be cumbersome to manager or pershaps do something with a suppress missing form by filling in say BegBalance with a value and suppressing the intersections that were not valid.

Need a process to update BSO Planning Web form into an ASO Cube

Need a process to update information from the BSO Planning Web form into an ASO Report Cube every (5) five minutes.
Please advise

Thanks here is Part 2 of my questions
Details:
User Input data into a web form for Intersection are the following:
Dim1,Dim2,Dim3,Dim4 , Account AAAA, 1000
Dim1,Dim2,Dim3,Dim4 , Account BBBB, 2000
Dim1,Dim2,Dim3,Dim4 , Account TTTT, 4000
Dim1,Dim2,Dim3,Dim4 , Account ZZZZ, 7000
Design Question:
In the ASO Reporting Cube
AAAA and BBBB are both at level 0 in both cube
TTTT and ZZZZ are being loaded to a parent which is Level 1
MY Issue with the Design Question ???
ASO Cubes can only be load at a level 0.
So how can I complete this task, what are my option:
My thinking process is the XRef Calc Script could push data the cube, than by built a maxl scripts that would run the Calc script and put this scripts into some kind of system scheduler running the Maxl Scripts Every (5) Mintues
or am i way off base here ????
Please advise
Thanks in Advance

Member selection (Member + UDA) on Planning Web-forms

Hi all,
Is it possible to select members and UDAs together on Planning Web-forms similar to member selection on Financial Reports?
Example:
Members: ILvl0Descendants ("Total Net Income")
UDA: ALLOCACT
I didn't see this option on the member selection window, but I wanted to make sure that I am not missing anything.
Thanks,
Mehmet

Hi,
UDA does not work in data forms. If you want that property to be there in the data form, please create an attribute dimension with the same children as UDA and attach the attribute members to that dimension.
Thanks.

Error while opening planning web Forms

Hi ,
I am facing the below error whenever I am trying to open the planning web form.
"Target Unreachable, 'formManagement' returned null
ADF_FACES-60097:For more information, please see the server's error log for an entry beginning with: ADF_FACES-60096:Server Exception during PPR, #40"
Could you please help me on this?

Have a read of the following support doc which is pretty much the same - "Hyperion Planning Error "Target Unreachable, 'getFormsForFolder' returned null -- ADF_FACES-60097" When Opening Web Forms (Doc ID 1527253.1)"

Hiearchy in Planning Web Form Collapes after user Submits in SmartView

We currently have Hyperion Planning 11.1.1.3.0 & SmartView 11.1.1.3.00
I have a end user who opens a Planning Web Form via SmartView. When form is opened the Hiearchy in the rows are fully expanded.
When the user hits "Submit Data" the hiearchy collapes to the top Parent level.
I have confirmed that the Planning Webform does NOT have suppress hiearchy selected.
Is there some setting in SmartView or Planning that I am missing that would account for this?
I would appreciate it if anyone had any suggestions.

Hi,
I faced some issue similar to this in past with version 9.2, As iam updating security on planning and it works fine for data forms when i perform security refresh.
but when user access those from excel the filters doesn't get update on EAS filters. after two hours investigation even though i update some filters on planning
side after security refresh it doesn't get affected on essbase filters. the reason when security refresh is done the filters getting in to cache memory and doing nothing on essbase, so work around is to delete one particular filter on essbase and then perform security refresh so that it gets updated.
Let me know if this is helpful and works.
Thanks,
Red
