BPS initial value at Planning Level

Hello All
I am getting error while using BW Hierarchy at planning level.
i find the solution at Including # initial value using hierachy
but its not working
i am getting this error "Characteristic Funds Center does not contain the initial value in the selection ".
I try resolve the way suggested in old thread but its not working. I can only put either # or include Hierarchy at planning level.
When I tried to use # it does not display Hierarchy in layout.
if I include Hierarchy it gives error of "Characteristic Funds Center does not contain the initial value in the selection"
Thanks in advance.

If this error is just coming on execution of a planning layout the problem could be with your layout configuration, you should not select the hierarchy option in the first screen of layout config, only select totals by hierarchy on third screen of layout config and you should get the display you're after.
(I think this error message can also arise when a compounding characteristic is not properly restricted)

Find characteristic with fixed value at planning levels

Hi Experts,
I need to know which are the planning levels that contains a characteristics with a specific fixed value (ex: 0UVERSION = 220 )
Does anybody know how can I do it?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Please create a query (tcode SQVI) on tables UPC_PLEVEL and UPC_OPTIOS. The join will be on field GUID. Select all the fields as available for display and selection. UPC_OPTIOS has the selection values maintained for the level. Please put in
UPC_OPTIOS-FIELDNAME = 0UVERSION
UPC_OPTIOS-SIGN = I
UPC_OPTIOS-LOW = 220
this will give you all the levels that have the said value
hope this was helpful
thanks

BPS-dynamic columns-single value in the planning level.

Hello, we would like to use a compound characteristic in dynamic colums.
Based on test and documentation we already know that we can use compound characteristics in dynamic columns only if the higher-level characteristic is restricted to a single value in the planning level.
If we use a variable restricted to a singel value per user it does not work. Does it mean in general that a varibel cannot be used in that case and that we have to create about 30 planning packages with a fixed value for the higher level charactersictic?
Thanks for help.

Setting # for 0CALYEAR in selection for planning level in BPS

hi all!
when i try to set # for 0CALYEAR (and other time variables) in selection for planning level in BPS, i recieve the following error message: 'Value # is not permitted for characteristic Calendar Year' (UPC003). As i understand, this problem began to occur after upgrading to SPS12.
we have BI 7.0 installed
can anyone help me solve this problem please?


Hi 
Check in year master data if value BLANK (#) exists. System should permit only those values for characteristics which are available in master data tables. 
Secondly, does system allow you to select value # for calendar year using the F4 drilldown?
 
Hope it helps.

Hierarchy node variable in BPS planning level

Hi gurus,
I have a set of planning levels and packages that are meant for all users. The users currently are segregated by 0costcenter hierarchy nodes, i.e. groups of users are belonging to different nodes within the 0costcenter hierarchy. These group of users each have its respective authorisation profile assigned based on hierarchy node.
The planning levels and packages are configured so that 0costcenter is one of the header characteristics in the layout.
Is there a way for the characteristic 0costcenter in the planning level and packages to derive the cost centers from the authorisation profiles ?
Advice appreciated.
Thanks.

You may consider any of the following:
1. BPS variables with authorization replacement type.
2. BPS variables with user defined values replacement type.

Current View as filter in BPC Vs Planning level and package in BPS

Hi,
     If I understand correctly, the current view is as like a filter in BPC as planning level and package in BPS, by comparing then I notice that the value for current can only be single value while in planning level and package we can have range, multiple value of single value.
    Let's have a planning scenario we need to planning for every month based on the actual month data,
in BPS we can easily configure two type of columns with actual and planning data, while in BPC, since the current view only allow single value, we have to copy the actual data to planning data, then with the category set to planning, we can do our planning. Of course if there is hierarchy, we can use parent to allow to display all the child.
   The other option is to use the EvGTS function which can retrieve the data outside the current view.
   Anybody have other though on this?

Hi JW-
I did not mean to imply that the Current View (CV) is not a filter. It can definitely be used to filter data presented from an EVDRE as well as other Ev functions, just like filters in BPS and IP. However as a developer you have the option to use the CV or, through your configuration, disregard and/or override the CV settings.
One example of disregarding CV settings is using standard Excel functions to provide the user a dropdown list from which to select certain dim members. The drop down box selection could be used instead of the CV for defining Ev function selections. My point is that you have multiple design paths of controlling what data is selected/processed; you are not only limited to the CV values. From a performance viewpoint, you are correct in assuming that limiting the data selection will greatly impact overall performance. Using the CV to limit data selection to enhance performance is very valid approach, just be aware that there are several alternative ways (other than using CV to control data selection) available to the developer.

Getting an error while activating a planning area "Enter values for planning horizon From and planning horizon To for the storage time profile level"

Dear S&OP community,
I am getting following error while creating a planning ares in a newly installed sandbox. "Enter values for planning horizon From and planning horizon To for the storage time profile level".
This what I did...
1) Created new attributes and master data objects and activated them successfully.
2) Time profile created and activated successfully
3) Trying to create planing area by assigning time profile in step 2 and assigned master data from step1..Unable to save the data and system returns
this error - "Enter values for planning horizon From and planning horizon To for the storage time profile level"
My understanding is time profile needs to be active but doesn't have to have values...
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Krishna

YS,
Here are my time profile settings
Level       Name          Display Horizon - Past Display Horizon - Future

2 variables for same characteristic in planning level in BPS

Hello,
I would appreciate your help implementing this scenario: a user has access to certain versions and should be a able to copy data between 2 of those versions.
We have 4 versions on our master data: 001, 002, 003 and 004.
A certain user should be able to access versions 001, 002 and 003, and should not be able to access version 004.
So we have an authorization object applied to that user with:
-> 0TCAACTVT EQ 03
-> 0TCAIPROV EQ <real time infocube>
-> 0TCAVALID CP *
-> 0VERSION EQ 001, 002 and 003
Then, users should be able to copy data between versions.
We created 2 variables on planning area, named ZVERSOLD and ZVERSNEW, with these characteristics:
-> Characteristic: 0VERSION
-> Replacement Type: USERVALUE User-defined values
-> Restriction of Values Required by User: enabled
-> Input Allowed by User: enabled
So this particular user should only see those 3 versions when pressing F4 when filing both variables.
After that, we created the planning level with the u201Ccopyu201D planning function.
But now, on planning level, we need to restrict 0VERSION, but we have a problem because we are not able to restrict it using 2 variables (ZVERSOLD and ZVERSNEW). Only one.
If we donu2019t use any variable, user gets an authorization error because he is not able to access to all data due to authorizations.
Does anyone have a way to avoid this issue? Should authorizations be defined in a different way? Should variables be defined in a different way?
Hopefully I exposed all required details to get help, and that my question wasnu2019t too much confused.
Again, thank you very much in advance for your support.
Rui

Hello,
If you restrict the VERSION with variable ZVERSNEW for target version then the function should work. But if you get any error related to reading reference data for the source version then you can create a new variable of type exit and populate it with the values selected by the user in two variables ZVERSOLD and ZVERSNEW using the two APIs :
API_SEMBPS_VARIABLE_GETDETAIL - to get the current value of the two Variables
API_SEMBPS_VARIABLE_SET - to set the Variable Values for the Exit type variable

Affect of a new planning level selection

Hi,
we have a BW-BPS environment with lots of BPS functionalities, palnning sequenses, save, copy functions...
Until now we have all products from SAP R/3 extracted.
Newly there are now in SAP R/3 lots of small products. Planning people donu2019t want to see and plan all products in planning layouts. They want to see to plan only the "important products".
The following solution is thought.
we will create a product hierachie with 2 hierarchie node: "important products" and "small products".
the hier. node u201Cimportant productsu201D should be used in all planning levels in selections.
How can it (selection in planning level) affect the current planning functions ?
What would you suggest here?

Hi,
Planning functions are assigned to just one planning level. So if you have planned to restrict the values using Hierarchy at planning level, then the underlying functions will apply only to that hierarchy members.

Reading Charact. Selection in Planning Level using Exit Var FM

Hi Expert,
i have to do a data slice with an Exit Variable that looks at selected data in the planning level and check in a custom table if the corresponding charact in the level is flagged in order to fill the variable with this value and lock data.
Any idea of the code for reading, in an Exit Var FM, data from Charact selection in the planning level?
Any hints will be very appreciated and rewarded.

Planning Level Root Question (Periodid Vs Monthly)

Hello,
I have a question related with planning level configuration.
In the standard SAP Planning area
SAP2 - All the planning levels have been defined monthly attribute as the root for time
SAP4 - All the planning levels have been defined periodid attribute as the root for time
What is the difference between both type of configuration. (Selecting Monthly / period id as the root, what difference it creates and how it affects other areas)
I was testing consensus demand key figure in SOP 3.0 and I am unable to edit the key figure value in my planning area (KF value change in Excel) which is a copy of SAP4 planning area. Initial response from SAP OSS is to modify the planning level and use monthly instead of Periodid (But I have just copied the standard SAP4 planning area).
Uploading the key figure using KF template works fine but issues comes only when I tried to change the value in Excel or try to input new values in blank cells.
Same thing I also tested in IBP 4.0 FP1 Patch 1 and configuration is exactly the same as SOP 3.0 (Both SAP2 and SAP4 planning area) but I am able to modify consensus demand key figure in both the copied planning area (Copy of SAP2 and SAP4) irrespective of monthly / periodid selected as the root.
Please let me know if you have observed this before and what are your feedback/suggestions.
Thanks

Planning levels' execution & relationship with infocubes

Hi Gurus,
I am encountering some hiccups while trying to figure out how BPS planning levels execution works. Here are 2 examples of scenario that i am facing:-
1. Planning level 123 is used to copy data from a basic cube to a transactional cube. The execution are fine, but when attempt to save data into the transactional cube, i was prompted with an error message , that the basic cube is not a real time cube.
The basic cube's data that i am trying to copy, is never meant to be a transactional cube, on top of that, i am not saving data into this cube.
This scenario happens occasionally-not always.
2. In a second scenario, i tried to run a planning level which copies data from cube A(basic) to cube B(transactional). But the execution wasnt successful, because cube C is not a transactional cube. In my planning level, i did not configure anything relating to Cube C, i have only specify the parameter group to copy from cube A to B.
Please help to enlighten on how BPS planning levels works in terms of reading / copying data? Does it loop through all the cubes that are attached to the planning areas, whenever theres an execution? - Even though it is not configured in the planning level?
Any advise is very much appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Jo-Chin

Hi,
As per my understanding you are using multiarea as your planning area where cube A is transactional cube and cube B is basic cube and u want to copy some data from cube B to cube A but on save it is giving you an error,I think you have not restricted 0infoprovider with cube A in planning package,then it will consider both the cubes for writting the data which cann't be done with cube B as it is a basic cube.Can Also check for the change mode for cube A.
With the second scenario ,if it is a mutiarea(multiprovider) built with two-three cubes,then it will read the data from all the cubes until you restrict them in planning package with specific values of 0infoprovider.
