BPC 7.5 NW BPF

Hi,
Like how SAP BW has standard content to pull the required queries, objects etc... Does BPC 7.5 NW has any standard Business Process Flows or does it have to be configured/customized from the start?
Thanks
BSV

Hi,
I don't think you can get content for BPF's. You have to create BPF's from the scratch based on your requirement.
hope it helps...

SAP BPC 7.5 NW - BPF Error

Hi all,
I have created a BPF template in BPC 7.5 NW. When I click on a step, an input schdule should open up in Interface for Excel, but this does not happen. No action is excuted. Whereas the same BPF template in another system (in the same domain) opens up as expected. I did check the computer settings and both the computers have the same settings. We run on Windows 7 (64-bit), MS Office 2010 (32-bit) and SAP BPC 7.5 NW SP07 Patch 1.
Thanks

Hi,
Add your BPC IP address under trusted sites of Internet explorer and check.

Thank you.

Hi Vitoto,
Each step should have a driver dimension. This dimension needs to have the OWNER property. So, in each step, you need to select which is the driver dimension. And you need to select the member as well.

BPC 7.5 NW - BPF is not transported correctly.

Dear All,
Last week we generate BPC transport via UJBPCTR t-code, all changes transported to quality and production server successfully, only BPF we have problem. This transport not affected on some BPF and name come with capital letter. Please give your suggestions. Really I need your help.
Anar Samadzade

Hi,
Yes, we have successfully transported from Dev to Quality. After transports, however we faced issues when we tried to modify the BPFs in the quality system. It was giving 'dump' error.
It got resolved after checking with SAP supoprt.
To answer your Q, yes they can be trasnported from one environment to another
Thanks

BPC 7.5 NW - BPF - Secuencial Steps ?

Hi team, there is no way to customize the BPF to ensure that activities are not sequential, with reviewers but not mandatory depending on the finalization them before, we have many branch offices for sales and many cost centers for expenses.
Any idea where configure, some customizing, table ?
Thank you.

The only back end BW tables to customize regarding BPF are those having to do with e-mail notifications. There are no BW customizing tables related to BPF sequence logic.
Whether steps have to be performed in a sequential manner is determined in the BPF template setup. Specifically when each step is added to the BPF you have to define the "Opening Criteria" which has two choices: 1) All step regions and 2) Matched step regions. All step regions means all must have a status of complete before the next step can be opened. Matched step regions means that the next step is opened for the same step region while allowing other regions to remain pending.
For your situation with many different branch offices and cost centers you might want to use Matched Step Regions to allow each to proceed "non sequentially", if I understand your question correctly.
Also don't forget that a BPF does not preclude a user/reviewer doing any task directly in Excel for which they have task security, regardless of the sequence of steps defined in a BPF.

Macro to open Team folder reports

Has anyone figured out how to open a (server) report located in a Team folder other than company? I've tried the OPENWEBFILE macro, but this appears to only work within the Company team folder.
Unfortunately, I can't use native VB to open because IT is blocking access to the webfolders...so I must use outlooksoft's "wrapper" to get at the files.
My goal is to create a workbook containing links to all reports for all teams. Any suggestion is greatly appreciated!

Have you tried using BPC menus, BPC Web, or even BPFs. Each of these can be used to access templates.
From the user guides;
WEB
Web is a zero footprint client that allows you to publish reports and other documents and
other unstructured documents, create and analyze live reports, view KPIs on a dashboard, and perform
predictive analysis.
Menus
After creating custom menus in OutlookSoft for Excel, you can define security for them and add them to
the custom menu list in the OutlookSoft for Excel action pane. Once they are added to the list, they are
available to the appropriate users for selection in the action pane upon opening OutlookSoft for Excel.
There are two types of custom menus: a default custom menu and a team custom menu. Users will see
one type or the other, depending on their team affiliation and the custom menu setup. The default custom
menu is defined on the EV_DEFAULT tab on the custom menu workbook. If users are not part of a team,
they will only be able to access the default custom menu.
You can define one or more team custom menus that are appropriate to specific OutlookSoft

Using a BPF to Maintain Master Data - BPC 10

Hi all,
I have a business requirement for Master Data to be added very quickly. An example would be a new 'Project' to be added as master data in to the Project dimension, so that a resource (employee) can be book time against it.
We have thought of two options;
1. Create dummy projects and use the BPC Comments functionality to note the project details. This will be quick but quite dirty. There will be no link to a customer which could mess up reporting.
2. Allow users (there are few, and they are Expert) to maintan the Master Data themselves via the BPC 10.0 Admin console or excel client if possible(?) One way that has been suggested is using a Business Process Flow (BPF), that will be left incomplete.
Does anyone have any experience in doing this? Or advice they could share?
Project data is scheduled to be upladed from SAP ECC in to BW, then BW in to BPC nightly. We have a requirement to plan at shorter notice than this and as such this won't work.
Thanks in advance for anyone that can help!
Nick

How to run BPF monthly in BPC 7.0 MS Version Sales Rolling ForecastPlanning

Hi Friends
I am implementing BPC 7.0 MS Version. Now in this version the Business Process Flow (BPF) instances is only ONCE, even though we have monthly weekly etc.
For a rolling forecast planning, i need to have the BPF every month.
Can you please guide me how to run the BPF monthly in BPC 7.0 MS version.
Warm Regards

Hi,
You are absolutely correct by stating that instance of BPF is ONCE. Every month, you need to re-initiate the BPF. This will have a small admin activity.
Hope this helps.

Suphawat

Hi,
In 2nd step of BPF template creation while defining step you should assign driver dimension by clicking on Define Step Region Criteria and choose owner property from that dimension.
Have you maintained Owner property in Entity dimension.If yes you can choose driver dimension as Entity and owner property as Owner.
Hope it helps..

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your help.

Bpf with report bex with variable BPC Embedded 10.1

Hi BPC Friends
I am creating a BPF with BPC 10.1 Unified.
I have attached at this BPF a BPC report based on a Bex Query with a variable for the company code.
The driving dimension of the BPF is the company code so I have selected some company codes.
I have created the BPF Istance and I have assigned at the different company codes the proper users as performers.
The problem is this:
The user run the bpf istance for its company but the report having the variable for the company code allow to the user to select also a different company code.
I was expecting that the variable for the company code was locked for the company code assigned to the user
Thanks
Michele

Hi Michele
In the above scenario, from what I was able to understand, you have defined a BPF, the activity within the BPF opens a workbook, the workbook is using a BEx query that has already been defined. The BEx query has a variable which prompts the user for values for company code.
The authorization variable will populate the BEx company code variable with the values that the user has been allowed to see.
For example: If the user has a BW analysis authorization that only allows them to see company code 1000, 1003. When the user executes the report in Analysis For Office, the prompt in the workbook should only display the values 1000 and 1003. (Meaning that the user only has access to 1000,1003 to choose from)
I don't understand where the performer is a prompt?.
The data access profile is typically used to restrict access to the data (restrict what you can see in your report). The BEx authorization variable will not be driven by the Data Access Profile, this will be driven by the BW Analysis Authorization. (I say this under possible correction)
Do you want the prompt in the workbook to display the performer of the BPF activity ? If so, I don't understand the requirement or why you would want to achieve this.
Please could you provide more context,
Hope this helps,
Kind Regards
Daniel

BPC 75 NW - BPF driver dimension key and description in Data region

Hello All,
In our BPF templates we have used Costctr as our driver dimenion. When we go to My activities to view BPF instances- we only see the Costctr Description in the data region which is the default. In our example- we have muliple cost centers globally with the same description.. so having the key displayed in the step region is critical. Is there a way to specify the key as well?
We are on BPC 75 NW SP07 patch 3.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Shai

Hi,
"Inherit from Data Region" means - when you open the BPF, you need to specify members for few of the dimensions. These members can be used by specifying "inherit from data region".
For example, if, while opening the BPF, you enter USA for Entity and 2009.Total for Time. If "inherit from data region" is specified for entity dimension, then it will take USA, irrespective of the current view and the fact that the user is owner of some other dimension.
In this case, either you can take it from CV or you can specify the member explicitly while designing the BPF. However, it will not serve your purpose.
When you acces read access to the user for some entity, the user can still view the data. However, he wont be able to send data. So, restricting the view access is not possible in this case.
Hoep this helps.

Does anyone know the solution for the same?

BPF an Work Status in BPC v10

Hi averybody,
I am working in a project of BPC v10 and i have a question i would like to solve. Specifically i want to know if the new version of SAP BPC allow you to associate a step of the BPF with a change of the work status strictly.
Does anybody know something concerning this item? Any additional information about new functionalities of BPF and work status?
Thanks in advance,

Hi
You can certainly do that. When you've created a set of work statuses and want to associate the work states to a BPF, you can associate with a setting for Related Action along with the Input you are providing to the suers (scrnsht below). I am not sure you can make it mandatory for the user to change work status setting, but you can allow a change in the work status.
