BI Integerated planning and SEM-BPS ???
Hi all ,
I am new to SEM.
Could you tell me
1) if there's any difference between Bi integeraed planning and SEM-BPS ?
2) if so, what are those differences ? & which one is better suited to planning needs ?.
3) also can we use planning areas developed in bw-bps ???
Friends if you have any documentation for the practical part of SEM-bps
could you please send it to [email protected]
thanks in advance

Hello together,
BI-IP is under contruction and wil be replaced later instead of BW-BPS. For the mean time BW-BPS will exist parallel.
Further details see here: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b87271fb-0701-0010-00bd-b03502b8c011
This is the theorie. In the praxis there are big differences and BI-IP is in a "very eraly stage", you should have at least SP 10, better wait for 12 to able to have at least the most important functionalities in BI-IP.
e. g. you can not plan on hierarchy nodes (e. g. you dont have standard distribute function to distribute from # in a query). This is available from SP12. And so on....

Integrated planning Content and SEM-BPS Content
Hi Experts
Is there any integrated planning Business Content for CRM? Where do I find it?
SEM-BPS has Business Content planning scenarios for CRM. Is this BC also available in BW-BPS now? Where do I find it?
We use NW04s BI and CRM 5.0.
Kind regards
ErikHello Erik,
as of now I have not heard of such content.
Also SAP is not talking about CRM-content for BIIP yet. What we have learned is that a lot effort is put into making the system stable and going for "additional" functionalities like BC later.
What you could do is use BW-Business Content for CRM as far as possible (InfoCubes etc. ) and build the Aggregation Levels, Queries & Templates by yourself.
Hope this helps

Data in aggregates not updated after planning in SEM-BPS cubes
We are running BW 3.0B SP27 with SEM-BPS. Our database is DB/2. When users modify plan data on planning layouts, the data in the cube and the aggregates can become inconsistent.
For example, when a user runs a report that uses an aggregate, they get one number, but when they add a drilldown that causes the report to bypass the aggregate and hit the cube directly, the number will be different. The only way to fix this is to deactivate and then reactivate the aggregate that has stale data.
We've tried opening an OSS message, but that hasn't been helpful, since we aren't able to reliably reproduce the problem. Sometimes the aggregates are fine, other times the data will be stale.
We roll up aggregates in the SEM cubes at the end of each business day. We include a request ID filter for "most current data" (0S_RQMRC) in all our SEM queries, so the queries should be bringing in data from the latest open request in addition to the data in the relevant aggregate.
What causes this, and how can we fix it without manually reactivating aggregates?
Thanks,
Jason
Message was edited by: Jason Kraftis the request still open. close the request and then probably the aggregates will start..

Function types for Balance Sheet Planning missing in SEM-BPS 6.0
Hi BPS experts,
After upgrading our BI-system from SEM 4.0 to SEM 6.0 (level 10) as part of the upgrade from BW 3.5 to BI 7.0 (level 15), the BPS function types for balance sheet planning are not available in the planning environment (Transaction code BPS0).
According to the SAP Library the balance sheet planning functions in SEM-BPS comprises of 6 standard function types - one of them is "Depreciation":
<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sem60/helpdata/en/0a/242537cedf2056e10000009b38f936/frameset.htm">help.sap.com -> Business Planning and Simulation (BW-BPS)</a>
Menu path: Business Planning Functions -> Functions for Balance Sheet Planning
In our existing SEM 4.0 we are using "Depreciation" and the functions based on this function type are of course short dumping when executed in our upgraded system (SEM 6.0) as the function type does not exist here.
Odd though - we do have the function type "Allocation" available in SEM 6.0, which should be delivered with SEM together with the Balance Sheet Planning function types (It is listed directly under "Business Planning Functions" in the SAP Library) .
I have tried to figure out whether we missed out on activating something during or after the system installation, but our basis consultant has not found anything in the installation guides related to this issue. Also I was wondering whether it could be a simple matter of activating some Business Content but without any luck.
Does anybody know why the Balance Sheet Function Types are not available in SEM-BPS 6.0?
Kind regards,
Lars

VBA code not working in SEM-BPS 3.2
We are currently running on BW 3.1 and SEM-BPS 3.2 environment. I am trying to create a screen in excel with VBA code doing validation on user input. For some reason the code works perfectly fine in standalone Excel. But when it comes to BPS, the code does not work. Is there any setting to invoke the code? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
ThanksBindu,
Thanks for your reply. I checked in the layout builder and both the VBA Macro - SAPAfterDataPut and SAPBeforeDataGet are checked. Below is the code:
Thanks again!

Authorizations for BW reportings and BW BPS
Hello,
The project we are working on contains two aspects : one in BPS and one in BW reporting
First the user needs to input or change data in the BPS application and then he can check his figures in a BW Report. We want each user to have authorizations only for his company and his business unit.
So we created authorization objects (RSSM) with a typical user profile (does not have SAP_ALL and all profiles required to customize anything).
In this authorization object we put different characteristics such as : Company, Business Unit, Activity and Version.
In the (PFCG), for company and business unit we put the values needed for the user. For Activity, we put "change" and "display". And for version we put "*".
We can then change values in the BPS layouts but we do not have access to the concerned report in BW.
Could somebody help us on this matter ??? Or does somebody have informations on how to implement this kind of authorizations ?
Thank you very much for your helpHi Jacques,

Hi Friends,
If you have SAP BW stuff (Infocubes) in place and you are required to start planning in SEM BPS from scratch, then how and where exactly do we need to start. Both SEM and BW are on the same machine. Any information, on all types of things to be taken care of, will be appreciated.
Versions: SAP BW 3.0B, SEM 3.1B
I hope that i made sense.

maybe the teched lesson on planning with BW-BPS are a good starting point (also if you do not have the latest release): https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn/events.sdn?page=teched04_sessions.htm

2)can u please explain the process flow -how cost planning done for planned and actaul
3)which elements should i gather requirements in workshop
4)what exactly crm role in marketing planning and budjet planning and how BW/ECC integrated
I will reward good points urgent need as i have session on monday
ThanksHI Rajaram,
For your workshop especially on marketing planning you have to have alot of questions to ask them.
basically CRM marketing plan and BI BPS are closely integrated functionalities in campaign management.
Functioanlly find out waht is that they are looking at to gain from budgeting.
basically the lcient would like to fix a budget for the campaign / marketing plan for the financial year and then will break it down for further campaigns / marketing elements. at the end he would like to eveluate what is the budget he planned and what he actually spent. There is no nned of project systems even key figure planning can do plan vs actual cost analysis.
based on this the marketing manager can plan the campaign success and there are standard analytics available for this.
It is not easy to mention all those in this forum and i suggest you can go through these best practices and help in SAP.
check them
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm50/helpdata/en/14/98e24044b80b06e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
also check this out

and select marketing and check lean management best practices.
No body can guide as better as that

SEM BPS - Planning function to distribute total value over months
Hello,
We use SEM BPS. In fact we use the integration of SEM BPS in the CRM opportunity component as opportunity planning.
Now we want to distribute the total value of certain key figures over the months. Either equal distribution or increasing distribution like 1% increase every month. What would be the best way to do that with a planning function?
We need to take into account that the number of months depends on the start and end date of the transaction (opportunity).
Best regards,
ThomasHi Thomas,
I would probably create a fox formula, do a foreach in selection loop over the months and distribute the values within that formula.
If you want to use a standard distribution function, you need to create the reference data somewhere before, which could be a bit difficult if the timeframe changes according to user selections.
regards
