Allowing user to enter new member in a dimension

I would like to know if it is possible to use forms to enter newmember in a dimension (for example a new project in the 'project'dimension). Currently we have created dummy project beforehand...But I have seen that the workforce allows users to enter anew 'employee' using a form... I believe it must create a newmember in the dimension ?

I am not sure to understand exactly how you are working...If you create three dummy project for every branch / sales area,does that means that actual project are consolidated in thoseproject? Then do you use the workflow feature? For example, how canyou approve or reject a high probability project code that wouldsum up several kind of project... In my opinion, it's necessary to work on 'single' and identifiedproject. In my company we have to be SOX compliant. I am quite surehaving a budget on 'unidentified' project is not really SOXcompliant... "It is better not to allow the users to edit thedimensions.It will create problems."I certainly do not want to give them administration rights norto much possibilité. But I am just willing to let themcreate new zero level member on their department... I believethat's what Hyperion has done in the Workforce Planning module. Isthere anybody who can confirm that? How do they have done that?

How to allow user to enter new values in a segmnt which's having a ValueSet

Hi Gurus
I am having a DFF segment where user needs the following validation. I have to check whether the value entered by user is having status number as 5 in a custom table. I can do this by Table type Validation.
But the problem here is, they should also be able to enter new values which not in that table.
How i can achieve this. Appreciate your help on this.
Thanks.
Praveen

Value sets allow only for standar list for validation, not a combobox that is what may help You to achieve what You want. You either have a restricted list or an open field to type whatever matches the format restrictions.
For what You specify, I see no reason on having a table validation is the user can after all enter new values, perhaps it's to have the table values as references and avoid duplicates. Workarounds may be:
Add an "others" value to the table, and enable another segment to enter new values and add custom validation to avoid duplicates and insert the new values to the table for future use.
Have an independent value set and add a customization to avoid duplicates (more difficult considering typos) and insert new values.

Problem with add new Member in Account Dimension

Hi Expert
I want to add new member in account dimension but occured some Error about a member count of a circular reference. Please help me for solve this error. Thank you so much
Best regards,
Bank

Hi,
This kind of error indicates faulty dimension formulas. There must be at least 2 formulas referencing each other. For example:
1. A=B+C
2. C=A*D
The above 2 formulas are dependent on each other. On one hand, you need C to calculate A. On the other hand, you need A to calculate C. So, causing a cross reference. Try to remove all the dimension formulas in your account dimension and process it. See, if its successful or not. If yes, then the formula was the definite reason. Now, try to add the formula one by one, till you get the error.
Hope this helps.

How to avoid user from entering new price condition in return order

Dear Expert
We are facing a scenario where we make return order; the Price is copied from the invoice. And it is working perfectly. The system does not allow us to change the price.
The issue we are facing here is that user can input new condition like discount /premium and change the net value for the return order pricing, and this will reflect in the credit note for returns.
Is there a way to restrict the user from entering any pricing condition in the header or item conditions tab.
although we cannot change the original price coming from invoice referenced for return order, but the user can input new price conditions as below. This must not be allowed.
The price must come according to the Qty being referenced.
While making the credit for returns, the user has a chance of further making changes to the net value by adding new conditions. Hence this must also be restricted for any changes.
Thanks

okie .... i will tell briefly what is the problem ....
Take a scenario wherein a user has logged into my application and he is performing a task which will put his user id and his employee id into the session. Then he opens another window by using either ctrl+n or through files->new window.
So now a new browser will open but the session will be same ..... in this newly opened browser, user performs some operation which will remove the user id and employee id from the session .... Now if he again comes back to the first window and tries to do some operation, then a null pointer exception will be thrown saying that the employee id is null .... because he has deleted that in the newly created browser ..... to avoid this situation what can we do ???? can you please help me in this regard ??? you got my problem right !!!

How to allow, user to enter the free text in smart forms and Drop Down list

Hi Experts,
How to provide the user to enter text in smart forms? ie Once the smartform generated, there the user allowed to enter text.
And also is there any option to provide Dropdown list in smart forms.
Possible give with example with clear idea.
Its very urgent!!!!
Thanks in Advance!!!

Hi!
No, there's no way to it, because Smartform is just like a piece of paper, it can't handle any objects, after it is ready.
It can be printed out/archived/sent on email as an attachment and that's all. It cannot be modified after it is completed.

Allowing user to create new Apex User

Hi,
I have a requirement that a certain user group needs to create new users to use Apex application. With my understanding, no user can create new user without apex admin privilege. I can't give admin privilege to any user. Is there any workaround? Thanks.

Instead of having Apex Authentication, build your custom Authentication.
Create a USER table with user detail and password.
Create a login page .. for new user give a link to public page to enter their detail.
For encrypting and decrypting the password see the sample applcation. You can copy that logic for protecting the password.

I am newbie, pls. provide me the code (if JavaScript)

Force User to enter new password

Hi all,
I would like to know if there is a way to force some of our users to enter a new password when they logon to SAP the next time?
The only way I would know is to give them a new password in SU01 and email it to them. But this would be a lot of work. We do not want to change the password settings in general, as most of our users should not be affected by this.
Does anyone know a differerent way? Maybe to set a flag in the user or a table?
Thanks for any help.
Tobi

you could change parameter
login/password_expiration_time
to - let's say 1 and restart all of the instances of that special system. after one day all users would have to change their passwort.
you could then reset the parameter to 0 (or to whatever value you think adequate) on all instances of the system and restart them ...
thus having forced all your users to change the password at least once.

for some users you have to use SU01 ...

How To Allow User To Enter "$" In A Number Field

I have a form that includes various numeric fields in which the user should enter dollar values. It works fine if the user enters a number WITHOUT a dollar sign. Suppose the user enters "1234", the field will display "$1,234.00", which is exactly what I want. However, if the user decides to change the value, clicks on the field, and replaces the "00" with "56" then when they leave the field it will display "$0.00". I've figured out this is because they left the dollar sign in the field when editing.
So, how can I fix the validation or other settings so that someone could enter "$1234" and have it show "$1,234.00" instead of "$0.00"?
Thank you!
Mike

Hi MJD729,
Have you applied patterns on the numeric field? select pattern like $1,234.21 in Display and Edit TAB of Patterns- Numeric Field dialog box and then check.

How to allow user to enter a string including one quotation mark

I'm not sure anyone here has talked it before.
I'm quite confused, and hope someone could help me.
I have a SQL script which has a field for user entering some comments in command-line.
Whenever I tried to enter something like " it's not bad" in a statement like:
select '&&COMMENTS' from dual;
I got an error message like:
select upper('it's not bad') from dual)
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis
I've tried some other ways such as using INSTR first, but all failed. :(
Could anyone please give me some suggestion?
Thanks a lot.

Thank you for your response.
It is the good way.
But I'm afraid that I didn't talk about it clearly.
I just wonder if there is a way for the user to enter the quotation only once, then I write some codes for the procession.
Otherwise I've got to keep reminding them to enter it twice. :(

Don't allow user to enter transaction-code ?

hi,
is it possible to 'lock' the field in SAPGUI, where you can enter a transaction code ? i want this for a specific group of users.
best regards, Martin

Hi Martin,
Yes, you must handle this using authorizations.
Go to transaction SE93 and check for the transaction code whether there is any Authorization Object maintained.
Most T codes have S_TCODE as the authority object.
Check with basis, they would confirm all the profiles and roles which hold the authorization for this authority object + tcode combination.
By ensuring the user is not given the required auth. role, the user on entering the tcode in command box would receive an error and he would not be able to execute.
Cheers.

Upload new member in the dimension not from BPC Admin

Hi Experts,
                 If we want to upload a new account not from of BPC admin, how we can do it?
    I tried to do it in MS version and was able to do it, as we have a dimension files in excel format (other than the temporary excel file ), we can add member in that excel file and run the Dimension process without selecting the "from member sheet". And it includes the new member.
              But in Netweaver version if we do same thing in the xml file of that dimension and try to process, it doesn't take the new member which was added in the xml file.. Any idea ..
Thanks
IshitaD

Hi Ishita,
Can you try using Data Manager to load master data? I know that is too much trouble if you want to load say just 1 record but it is a clean option that does not require BPC Admin.
