API_SEMBPS_POST in a planning sequence ?

Hi,
Do you know if I need to excute API_SEMBPS_POST in a planning sequence?
My sequence has got yet a step calling an exit function. That function uses API_SEMBPS_GETDATA, to read the content of a layout and API_SEMBPS_SETDATA, to update another one with that set of data.
I am wondering if I need to add the function API_SEMBPS_POST, as the data are currently being posted when my sequence is called. Any though about this?
Regards
Laurent

Hi Laurent,
Check the link below which details the use of the FM's that you have mentioned. As per the sequence you may need
the function API_SEMBPS_POST. Maybe you could try and confirm the same.

How to find what planning sequences/functions update data in a cube?

Hi, Experts:
We have a real time cube being updated by planning sequences/functions. How can I find what planning sequences/functions are updating this cube?
Thanks,
Jenny

Hi,
You can go the transaction code: rsa1 and then select "Meta data Repository" option on the left side.
You can use Meta data repository to view the dependent objects for a infocube or any other BW object.
In your case, you can select "Infocube" option on the left side and then go on selecting your infocube.
Now you will get all dependent objects created on this infocube, which will include your plannign functions also.
Refer top the following link for more details on "Meta data Repository",

BI IP Executing planning sequence via process chain not possible

Hi,
we use BI IP and have defined a process chain (RSPC) with value type process planning sequence. When we execute it, we get error message
"Inconsistent input parameter (parameter: <unknown>, value <unknown>)"
When we execute this planning sequence via the modeller or via SE38 RSPLS_PLSEQ_EXECUTE everything works fine. I thougt the cause could be the user of the job itself (job is executed with different user, and variant of planning sequence is user-dependent!), but I changed the user in the job itself as well without results.
any thoughts?
regards

Hi,
I executed with my user and have a SAP_ALL authorization. Perhaps it could be because we use authorisation with the old method (4.0) (-> I'm not sure on this). I also think it has to do with authorization. I'll check this out with our authorization consultant.

Currency Translation in Planning sequence with variable for target currency

Hello ,
i have a requirement, the cube contains multiple data in the Group Currency for multiple company codes. & I want to convert these amounts to another KF as local currency using planning sequence only (not using transformation, as the users want to do this when they require.)
For this, i defined a Aggr level , filter & Planning function with Currency translation selecting the source field as AMOUNT_GC & target field as AMOUNT_LC using the Currency Translation type ZCTGCLC.
The target currency is not know beforehand, as it depends on the company code of each records that comes in.
Hence, Currency translation type uses a Customer exit variable 'Z_R_0026' for target currency.
This is customer exit variable which searches the Master data table of the Company code & replies back with the local currency of that particular company code (derived value from the company code variable also in teh filter).
However, when i execute this planning sequence, it gives me an error saying, "no value found for variable 'Z_R_0026'
1. when edit the CMOD code, to return only say "EUR" the planning sequence runs fine.However when i use this select statement to fetch the corresponding value of the currency using the company code reference from the company code master data table, it gives the above error. it seems to be a problem with the select statement.
below is the code for that exit
when 'Z_R_0026'.
     data: l_curr type /BI0/OICURRENCY.
     IF i_step = 2.
       LOOP AT i_t_var_range INTO loc_var_range
                          WHERE vnam = 'Z_S_0003'. " Company Code Single
         CLEAR l_s_range.
    Filling Currency Key from Company Code
         select single currency
         from /bi0/pcomp_code
         into l_curr
         where comp_code = loc_var_range-low
         and objvers = 'A'.
         if sy-subrc = 0.
           l_s_range-low = l_curr.
         else.
           l_s_range-low      = 'ABC'.
         endif.
         l_s_range-opt      = 'EQ'.
         l_s_range-sign     = 'I'.
         APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
         clear l_s_range.
         EXIT.
       ENDLOOP.
     ENDIF.
2. there is a option of using infoobject for target currency in the RSCUR itself, however, when i try to input the 0COMP_CODE for finding the attribute currency from this infoobject, it doesnt accept.
has anyone tried this earlier ?
Any help/suggestions , guys, pls?
Thanks
John

Hi Praveen ,
Thanks for that.
I have a Question.
If RSCUR were to only accept a Date InfoObject , it would be placed under a differnt heading.
The Tab is "Currrency" & the sub-Tab is "Target Currency"
so i guess, it should accept other infoObjects as well.
Moreover, the help on that InfoObject buttons says
"Specification of an InfoObject (Characteristic) in which a currency
attribute is stored in InfoObject maintenance. At runtime, the
associated currency attribute is determined using the characteristic
value and this is interpreted as source or target currency."
& i have already defined 0currency as a attribute of 0comp_code. so this should work ideally.
almost similiar CMOD code i have used for other too, but i dont know why only this one is getting struck.
any help, pls.
Thanks
John

How to use the same variable value for data entry and the planning sequence

Hi,
the scenario is the following:
Using the WAD template a user enters cost center plan data. The cost center is selected by the chosen value for the variable "V1".
Afterwards he shall push a button which starts a planning sequence (including saving the data and further functions). This planning sequence uses a filter that also contains the variable "V1".
What or where has it to be defined that the planning sequence uses automatically the same value for the variable "V1" as selected for the data entry?

You have to define in the planning function. The planning sequence is only a sequence and it read the planning functions underneath it.

No Authorization error in executing a planning sequence

Hi,
We are using BI 7.0 Integrated Planning.
We have implemented Mark Bernaud's file upload solution. We have used a planning sequence that uploads the file and stores it in a cube. Using it, we are able to upload files without any problem when executing with a SAP User Id which has all the authorizations (the user id has SAP_ALL specified in its list of profiles). Now, we have a requirement where we need to execute the file upload using a user id which has limited authorizations. When we are trying to execute the file upload with the userid that has limited authorizations, we are getting the following authorization error.
'You are not authorized to execute sequence PL_SEQ_FL_UPLOAD'
where PL_SEQ_FL_UPLOAD is the name of planning sequence we are using. We have also included the authorization variable in the filters being used as suggested in one of the blogs but this didn't help.
Could anyone please let us know the authorization objects to be added to the user id to enable access to this file upload.
Many Thanks,
Narendra.

Thank you very much Diogo,
The objects you suggested were already there. We have successfully traced the error by switching on the trace using ST01. We found the reason for the error to be that display authorization is not provided for S_RS_PLSQ whereas execute authorization is already present for that.
Once again thanks Diogo.
Many Thanks,
Narendra

Using a variable for STS Planning Sequence

Hi guys,
I would like to execute planning sequence when users approves data for Profit Center in STS. The filter used in the planning sequence have a variable for Profit Center. This is not working.
Whats the altenative of using a variable Instead of creating planning sequence for every profit center? Pls assist

The planning sequence runs when the user approves on STS. The planning sequence runs for all profit center (this is a variable in the filter). I want to execute planning sequence for the profit center level selected on STS.

Error in execute planning sequence variant in process chain

Hi ,
While creating an Execute planning sequence variant in process chain in Quality system , i am getting an error" variable variant not selected ' though i created a variable variant and selected it in execute planning seq variant.
Transporting it from development system didnt work therefore i am trying to create it directly in Quality .
Any idea what could be the issue.

Hi,
Variable variant can be saved for planning sequence in modeler and then cab be used in process chains.
In process chain you can choose "Execute planning sequence"( separate process type) and add planning sequence with variant.

Planning Sequence error - You do not have sufficient authorization

Hello Experts,
I am encountering the following error during execution of my planning sequence:
You do not have sufficient authorization
Message no. EYE007
Diagnosis
You do not have sufficient authorization for the requested data records.
Procedure
Either select other data or get the required authorizations from your administrator.
Can anyone please suggest me what could be the possible cause of this error and how can I overcome it?
Thanks in advance,
Nitish.

Check the planning level on which planning sequence is based for values restriction.Looks like values for which it is been restricted you are not authorized or Roles assigned to you are not restricted with values in planning level.
Also check if level is been restricted with any variable on which authorization is been restricted.Some are user specific example specific business area are assigned to only some users ...so you need to add your user ID to those variable.

IP: Error in packaged planning sequence in process chain

Hi all,
We run a planning sequence from within a process chain. As the data transferred are quite a lot, we have packaged with setting "automatically" and with 30 packages to be built. Now the function returned (it ran already successfully before!) an error message stating:
Master cannot read return value from subprocess 2
and another error:
An error occurred with the maintenance of the query directory.
Do you have any idea what this could be?
Many thanks in advance,
Andreas

Hi Rakesh,
It's a BASIS problem. After transport during process chain activation, the background user tries to logon with the password and if it fails the chain will not be activated. The contents will be transported though. You can manually activate the chain. You can request the Basis guys to fix this.

Save Button in a Planning Sequence

Hi,
Can i include SAVE button in a planning sequence? My requirement is to have one button which executes a planning function then saves the data and then executes another planning function after the SAVE. How can i achieve this?
Thanks
Rashmi.

Hi,
Seems you are using WAD for your planning application and using 'Button Group' web item to include the planning functions in your layout.
If so, then you must be adding 3 seperate buttons for each planning function in 'List of Buttons' in 'Internal Display' of your web item button group. Rather than doing this, add just one button in your 'List of Buttons' and on that button add 3 separate commands in below order
1. EXEC_PLANNING_FUNCTION with your planning function name and variable values if you have any
2. SAVE_DATA
3 EXEC_PLANNING_FUNCTION with your planning function name and variable values if you have any
This will solve your purpose.

Planning function and planning sequence of Design studio new features!!

Hi Experts
Recently I have updated my design studio to 1.3 and happy to see many new updates. Meanwhile i saw some new features add planning function and planning sequence.
As per my understanding, Using this features we can enter data at run time. My query is here
Is it like we are entering data at run time and see the changes in current data(chart series)
Ex: Add discount for product 10% and relevant data(in chart) reduced to 10%
or
Is it like integrated planning? Once we enter data in run time and it saves in BW planning cube?
I am totally confused with this feature.. Can any one help me to get clear understanding on this please !
Regards,
Mathivanan M

Hi,
maybe these two article can help you:
#1 Planning in Design Studio 1.3
#2 Planning in DS 1.3 - Using different script methods for planning
As i unterstand, it's only possible to write back in BW.
Best Regards
Sebastian

could you explain in detail? are you in BI 7 ?

Order of variables in a Planning sequence.

Hi,
We have a problem now where we are unable to control the sequence (the order) of which our variables are presented when executing a planning sequence in I.P.
An example (ok, it's a bit long...):
We have created a Planning function of type Distribution by Key. We are distributing Amount FROM Period '#' TO 12 months (period 1- 12).
For each of these 12 periods we have a Variable for each month where the user can enter a value to represent the % (or share) of the Amount of '#' to be distributed to that month.
In our Planning Function we have then put in the respective periods (1-12) in to "distribute to"-field, in the correct order (January, february, march, april, may...etc).
Finally, we have put this Function in a Planning sequence, and added it to a button in our Web template.
When pressing this button to execute the planning sequence, the variables come out in a different order to what we expect, and what we have said in the planning function.
First, three variables from our Filter (which is as expected, and Ok),
Then the 12 months, in an incorrect order (January, March, February...).
So for some reason, Feb and March exchange places.
So, the question: What is it that decides the order of how variables are presented when a planning function is executed?
We have tried creating new variables, changing the technical names etc, but we can not see any logic to how the variable sequence is presented.
Cheers.

Hi,
Instead of giving 12variables to enter % share, you can give input layout wherein user enter the share% for all the periods, store this in one keyfigure. Use this figure as reference for distribution function.
You can try this if this seems ok to you.
