BPS Layout in Business Analyzer Possible?

Hi,
I am wondering whether its possible to open BPS layouts in Bex Analyzer,
if possible how can i do that, I would like to use some excel formula's in BPS Layouts.
Thanks

FOX - use's BPS therefore does not read the Excel sheet but the Buffer data in the database. Also users would need to press this in order to execute the calculation etc, and if you have a number of different calculation you may end up with a lot of Buttons on your layout.
VB - Is quick but if you don't know VB it is a little tricky to get it working. It runs in real time therefore no need to press any buttons to calculate a value etc.
Whatever you do not have both as it will be a nightmare for your support team to maintain.

Disable BEx Analyzer in BPS layout

Hi gurus,
how to disable BEx analyzer toolbars in BPS manual layout?
I mean: when i open BEx analyzer AND in another window a BPS0 layout system opens BEX analyzer even in layout, sometimes changing colors ecc..how to avoid BEX in bps layouts?
tks
Michele

Hi Michele,
In the manual planning layout, you can right click on the toolbar and cancel the "Business Explorer". Secondly, go to change layout for your manual planning set your display layout to SAP ALV Grid instead of Microsoft Excel.
Hope it is helpful.

Is it possible Hide a column in BPS layout "WEB" ?

Hi,
Is it possible to hide a column in a "WEB" BPS layout ?
Have you an example to hide a column in web thanks to Java and where insert it ?

Alessandro,
I create in BPS0 all the customizing I need (functions, layout...). After that, I create a web interface with these components (variables, functions, layout).
That 's why I wonder what could be the java code to hide a column in web interface.

Upload a flat file to BPS layout with hierarchy: is it possible?

Hello, BPS people!
I used a known "HowTo...using SAPGUI" to load a flat file to BPS layout. Finally I need to use a predefined layout with several variables and hierarchical representation of characteristic values in the key field ( I can't use a special layout for file uploading!). The procedure works fine if I use a flat structure of characteristic in the key field (no hierarchy). But once I choose a hierarchical representation of key characteristic in the level (but nonhierarchical model in the first screen of layout builder!) the layout data after uploading is absolutely wrong!
1) whether is it possible to perform that without ABAP coding?
2) If not, how can I change the function modules to use hierarchy?
Thank you!
Yurij

Sorry again!
I have solved it.
Probably nobody understood my question. First, I have tried to attach file upload function (see "How To..load a flat file into BW-BPS using SAPGUI") to the same planning level where original planning layout with hierarchical structure in the key field already existed. But now I realized that it's impossible!
SOLUTION: It is necessary to build the file upload function at the separated planning level with the same structure as that in the uploaded file. No hierarchies allowed in the "Selection" tab of planning level !!
Such upload function operates perfectly in the planning folder where original layout with the hierarchical structure of key characteristic is presented. After the file upload you can perform all further activities in the planning folder (including that with uploaded data).
Thanks,
Yurij

Interactive restriction on key figures in BPS layout

Hi Experts
I know you can define planning level/packages/layout header with variables to define selection criteria of characteristics for layout, but is it possible to define selection criteria on key figures? e.g. only show the data in layout with amount larger than a user input value (100 or any other amount you may input) when executing the layout?
Or I can define "condition" in BW query, and use this query for input layout for BPS? Because I know in NW04s BPS can use BW query as input layout.
any idea?
Thanks Patrick

Hi,
In BW-BPS, i don't think it is possible to achieve this as there is no option to define conditions.
thanks

Navigate from WebDynpro Application to BPS Layout and vice versa

Hi,
Please see the following Problem Statement:
We have WebDynpro applications and BPS applications in our project. All the applications are published via SAP Portal. Both areas (WebDynpro and BPS) have same selection screen (Selection fields are common). Is it possible to call
WebDynpro application from BPS layout (on click of button)and also passing the selection parameters to the WebDynpro application and vice-versa.

BW authorizations in BPS layout

Dear all,
My question may seem basic, but I don't have any experience with authorizations.
I need to use already existing BW authorizations in my BPS layouts, so well, I created auth. variables on the needed characteristics and assigned it to my layout.
==> nothing changes when I'm launching the layout.
I wonder if I need to ask the modification of the already existing BW roles in order to add field ACTVT? Will this have an impact on already existing BW reports for the users?
Also, does something need to be done in RSSM (or other T-code) in order to activate the auth. for my planning cubes?
Thank you in advance for your help!!

Ravi,
The objects you mentionned talk about area, planning, etc,... so they are usefull when a user wants to launch a layout in order to let him launch/plan it or not, etc... . That's the first step, and that doesn't interest me.
Second step is that when launching, the user will get his layout. This layout will be generated regarding the design I made in BPS0 and then also the variables I've used.
If I've restricted my planning level by using variables of type authorization on an char. that is in the lead column of my planning layout, it should restrict the diplayed/available rows regarding that authorization (ex : only company code 1000 for user A; company code 2000 for user B ; company code 1000 and 2000 for user C ==> coming from reporting authorizations in BW)
So I really think we don't speak about the same thing... or it's me that doesn't understand! (that's also possible )

Hide a column in BPS layout ?

Hi,
Is it possible to hide a column in a BPS layout (Web Excel) ?
When I hide a column in the layout definition, saving it resets the hidden column.
Any idea if it will be included in a future release ?
Thanks

Can I enter Masterdata in BPS layout ?

Hi,
I want to create a BPS layout to enter the masterdata. Is it possible to maintanin masterdata through BPS layouts ? If so what are the configurations I need to change for the corresponding Info Object ?
any suggestion is eagerly awaited
D Bret

Hi Marc,
We are using that very same functionality you just mentioned. That is, the InfoObject has no master or text table, allowing the BPS user to provide any value. However, we find that in the ALV layouts, the field only allows input of 20 characters, even if the InfoObject has been defined as, say 60 digits type CHAR. In the Excel-in-Place layouts, it lets you type any length in, but when you save the data, the value is truncated at 24 digits. Is this a hard limit imposed by BPS layout functionality, or a bug do you think?

Input Area in BPS Layout is too small

Dear experts,
I'm really desperated due to BPS. We definded a BPS layout of type "Key Figs in Data columns" and like to add data via manual planning. The layout is displayed in Excel format.
When opening the layout only 20 lines in the layout are ready for input. When all 20 lines are used, we have to hit the "check" button, to insert new lines that are available for input. My problem is, that we run Excel macros to generate the data. The records are much more than 20. Only some of them are recognized as BPS data the rest is ignored and also not stored in the cube. Does anybody know where this limitation can be switched off or where the number of lines that are available for data entry can be increased.
I guess this is not a new problem for some of you.
Any input highly appreciated.
Thanks!
Bernd

Thomas,
Here are some useful links that will provide some food for thought:
Re: Changing the number of rows allowed for editing in planning layout
Re: Edit Saved characteristics in Excel Planning Layouts?
Re: Maximum number of combinations in a SEM BPS layout
Re: planning layout limitation
The short answer is it will have significant negative performance impact.I would look at alternative solutions for the true business requirement.Please read the content in these links and let me know if your business requirement would still enforce you to do over 999 records manually at a time.
Hope this helps.

Total in BPS Layout

Hi All,
I want to add a line for total in a BPS layout.
In BPS0 transaction, there is a button that allowed to add line for total in the Excel sheet. The problem is that line don't appear in the layout of the campaign in CRM.
Could you please help me ?
Thank you in adavance
Regards

Hi Ivan,
yes.
You also might consider to use BW-IP where you have the full reporting and planning
features integrated in BW queries. There it would even be possible to make 'AVERAGE'
an input ready formula (BW 7.01, SP05 or higher):

Locking data in BPS layout

Hi Guys,
I have one Planing Layout which different users will access for planning but for different Cost centers. But as of Now when User1 is loggining in it is fetching all Cost Centers and User2 is getting Locked . he is not able to change any plan data .
Now I want that when user1 will logon in BPS Layout ,he/she should fetch up the data for Cost centers for which he/she is authorized . So, other users should not be locked. they should continue to plan for other Cost centers.
your Suggessions will be hIghly Appreciated.
Thanks
Pankaj.

Hi Pankaj,
I suppose you want an input variable for 'User Group' based on which you would write an exit variable for Cost Center. I am a bit out of touch of BPS but as far as I think, you cannot do that because you cannot include a nav. attr. in a planning level. If you can think of some other way other than an input var. for 'User Group' then it might help. One way could be to include 'User Group' as a separate characteristic in the planning level.
In Integrated Planning, this is definitely possible, because in an input ready query, the nav. attr is accessible like any other characteristic on which we are able to apply an input variable.
Maybe somebody else can throw more light on this particular scenario in BPS.

Exchange rates in BPS layouts

Is it possible to display current exchange rate in bps layouts?
The function of conversion works good, but user wants to see the rate, wich is used in convesrsion.

Hello Estay,
please follow the procedure to display the exchange rates in the layout (in excel only) .
Create a Function Module in Se80 where you would call the inbuilt function to get the exchange rates. Call this FM
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_EXCHANGERATE_GETDETAIL'
      EXPORTING
        rate_type =
        from_curr =
        to_currncy =
        date       =
      IMPORTING
        exch_rate = w_xrtype.
Supply the export values to the Function module and obtain the exchange rate values.Now use the following code to display the exchange rate values in the layout.
*Define where you want to display the values on the excel sheet (row,column).
    range-row = 7.
    range-column = 25.
    size of rectangle
    range-rows = 1.
    range-columns = 1.
    APPEND range TO et_dimension.
    add content: To the Layout.
    content-column = 1.
    content-row = 1.
    content-value = here place the exchange rate values.
    APPEND content TO et_contents.
Now in the Third screen of the configuration of the layouts ,tyoe lb_exit _fm in the transaction code window on the top.This gives you two option wiht wirte layout FM and read layout FM.In the Write FM give the name of the FM you built above and save.Nowe when you run the layout this code gets executed and the rates would get displayed.
hope this helps

HOW to Restrict the input Help for 0MATERIAL in the BPS Layout

Hi,
I have requirement to Restrict the input Help for 0MATERIAL in the BPS Layout.
For Example if the Planning Package is Restricted to SALES ORGANISATION ( 3000 ) then the system shuold check the 0MAT_SALES where SALES ORGANISATION IS "3000" )AND PASS THE Material Numbers to the 0material list.
I have Copied the standard Funtcion group "UPF_VARIABLE_USER_EXIT" to Z fucttion and have attached to Z Variabe as User Exit .
this Variable is Attached to 0material in the Planning Pakage. So tha now the 0MATERIAL is restricted to the variable which is having the User Exit.
But how to acces the Values of Planning Package for which the Layout is bein Executed from this Z User Exit ???
I Know how to restrict the input help, but my only problem is that how to get the values of Planning package through this User Exit.
Please suggest if it is possible.
Regards,
Nilesh Labde

Hi Nilesh,
As I understand from your question,you know how to restrict but the issue is to know the value in the package with which you need to restrict.
There are two tables which can help you finding the value used in package for sales organisation:
1. UPC_PACKAGE
2. UPC_OPTIOS
How to use ?
From UPC Package you will get one GUID, Hit the second table UPC_OPTIOS with this GUID.
In field "FIELDNAME" enter the name of the characteristic whose value is req (sales organisation in your case)
Hope this helps you

BPS - How to filter a BPS layout based on keyfigure value.

Hi Gurus,
I am in a requirement to display a BPS layout based on a keyfigure value. Basically filter based on a keyfigure value. I don't want to display any records which contains a value of '0' in a particular keyfigure. Is this possible in BPS.
Thanks,
Mohan

thanks guys for your response.
The macro is not going to help me because the number of records from the database fetch is going to be more than 15000 and the valid records are only around 100. And since BPS cannot display more than 9999 records this would be a problem. This is my assumption. Let me try this out and see how BPS responses.
I tried using the exit function to delete the records from buffer with the condition if the keyfigure is 0 but the other keyfigures values are affect due to this. Meaning BPS keeps track of the changed records and changes the other keyfigure value to 0.
e.g. I have 2 keyfigure, A and B. A is the keyfigure where I check the value for 0 and B is the keyfigure with a non-zero value say $10. And in the exit before processing I have 10 records out of which 2 records are having value 0 for the A keyfigure and 8 records are having value as 1 for the A KeyFigure. And B keyfigure is having $10 for all the records. Based on the condition I delete off the 2 records from memory. SEM keeps track of this change and when you press on the save button in planning layout, the value for the B keyfigure are changed from $10 to $ -10 and saved to the database, I don't want this change in value to B keyfigure happening. So any other work arounds....
Thanks,
Mohan
