Real time example of layout? Asssume so and here is a simple one.
Sales planning.
You have transactional cube with product, customer, fiscal period, fiscal year and key figure as amount. MAke sure, you have some master data alerady available in the info objects customer, product. Create a planing area and assign this cube to the area. Create a level under this area and choose all the characteristic and key figure ( push from the bottom to the top). Go to selection tab in the level. In fisca year year enter 2007 and in fiscl period enetr 001.2007 to 012.2007, under customer, put a drop fown and select whatever customet name comes there and the same for product. Create a package for this and hit save.
Follow the steps i said in my other posting on how to get to the layout.
Keep fiscal year in header, product in the lead column, customer in lead column, amount in data column. Go to the last screen and save.
Refer to my other reply and enter enter data.

Using strandard BW hierarhy in BPS planing layout

Hi,
I would like to use standard hier on 0Costcenter in the BPS planning layout.
The hier is loaded with DataSource 0COSTCENTER_0101_HIER from ERP.
I would need also hierarchy nodes to be posting enabled, not just the costcenters included.
How to make that?
Is it possible to organize the same hier with external characteristics (should be also loaded from ERP).
I tried to follow some hints in other SDN posts, but the result is always without option to post on the nodes too.
I would argentite any help.
BR Tom

Hi Tom,
cost center hierarchies from ERP are ususally represented in BW as hierarchies with text nodes, i.e. the 'cost center groups' are text nodes. A hierarchy with postable nodes is (by definition) a hierarchy were also the inner hierarchy nodes are values of the hierarchy base characteristic (in your case the cost center).
So you need a mechanism to create cost centers from the text nodes contained in the ERP cost center hierarchy and then to create a corresponding BW hierarchy with postable nodes (where the text nodes are replaced by the new created cost centers).
In BPS planning layouts and in BW reports the inner postable nodes always have leaf with the same value (this value is really posted to the cube). These values will be 'generated' on the fly (and can be suppressed in BW reports if you like).
The following may be helpful:

Changes are not reflected into SEM-BPS 1 layout.

Hi,
1st, I've included code in SAPAfterDataPut that copies data from SEM-BPS 1 into New Sheet.
Now, I've inserted a method in the sheet module of New Sheet. This method takes care of reflecting changes from New Sheet into SEM-BPS 1 layout. but, finally am not getting changes back to SEM-BPS 1 sheet.
I've tested this in excel (outside of BPS) and it works fine.
in BPS, I went into VB debugging mode (after inserting a break point) and I can see that change that has been made in New Sheet was reflected back to SEM-BPS 1. But, when i test the same out of debugging mode, am not getting the same result.
Looks like,after changes in New Sheet, SAPAfterDataPut is again being executed and is overwriting the changes that I made in new sheet.
Do i need to inlclude code only in SAPBeforeDataPut to reflect changes from new Sheet into SEM-BPS 1?
In excel (outside of BPS), this method works in such a way that, as soon as i make changes in Sheet2 will get reflected into Sheet1 without runnning any macro.
but, with same code, this doesn't work in BPS. (instead of reflecting changes to SEM-BPS 1, changed value in New Sheet is reverted back to original value that is same as the value in SEM-BPS 1)
Appreciate any ideas/thoughts on this.

Hi,
Usually you work with a second sheet in the following way: write a macro that copies the data from the SEM-BPS 1 sheet to the new sheet. In order to run that macro include it into the macro "SAPAfterDataPut" and set the flag in the check box of in the popup of the third screen of the layout builder. The system will call the macro after the data has been written to the sheet SEM-BPS 1.
There is a second predefined macro that the system will executed provided that the flag is set on the popup in the layout builder. This macro is called "SAPBeforeDataGet". It is called before the BPS reads data from the SEM-BPS 1 and should be used for transferring the data back to the first screen (similar to the coding you have done in SAPAfterDataPut). Using this macro should solve your problem.
I did not understand how the changes are transferred from the new sheet in your (stand alone) case. Unfortunately it sometimes does make a difference if you test a macro in a stand alone Excel or in the Excel inplace. Some features are disabled in Excel Inplace (by Microsoft!!).

How to open a Query in BPS Web-Layout

Hello,
i am new to BPS. How can I open a Query in BPS Web-Layout so that I can enter plan data manually??
Pls give me the procedure and not links to help.sap.com. Thanks.
pls help,
SD

Hi.
You can open bex query in BPS Web Layout, but you should update data via BPS layout.
In BPS Bex query can be opened only for display as long as BPS doesn't allow input via query (only BI7+IP).
In BPS Web Interface builder add subcomponent "text", set HTML=TRUE, goto property "text", press F4->edit long text and enter HTML tags IFRAME with URL of bex query.

Validate mandatory field in BPS Excel layout

Hi Sdner
In my BPS Excel layout i want to have some characteristic as mandatory.If i don't put any value for them system will put a # by default which i don't want. system should prompt a error message that particular field is mandatory and enter some value. I can check this thru planning function(FOX) but the problem is all characteristics in that row will greyed out after function execution and hence can't be changed by user.
Does somebdy know if there is any workaround to solve this ?
Thanks
Tripple k

Hi Tarun
Use XL macros to validate data in a column.
When macro executes it first unprotect the worksheet,then we have our custom code for validation and error message, after that it is followed by a protect sheet command.
My Prob is that if error is there in any field raised by macro, user should be able to edit those fields but as we are protecting our worksheet in macro, editing is not possible.
I can't unprotect the worksheet because then user can change anything.
+Use a read function module on planning layout. While you are in layout change mode use lbexit_fm as a transaction code. You can read data from planning layout and write validation code and error message in ABAP function module.+_
I used this Tcode and FM, but they are ment to read Non SAP area of Excel sheet. The actual layout(Data Record)(SAP Area) which we want to read is not coming in internal table while executing FM.
On Execution it is saying that reading and writing on SAP protected data is not allowed.
If you have done any of these workaround then can you please put some more lights on this ?
Thanks

Modeling BPS excel layout

Hello,
Could anybody explain me, how can i insert into BPS excel layout excel and Visual Basic functionality (buttons, graphics, formulas)?
All my worksheet's rows are locked.
Could you send me docs about SEM BPS modeling?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Arunas Stonys

Hello Arunas,
you can make your changes on the third screen of the layout builder; if you save the planning layout these changes will be saved in the Excel template of the planning layout.
Usually (dependind on the changes) it may be more convenient to download a copy of the master template and implement your changes there. Then you can checking the Excel file as an Excel template for the planning layout, e.g. with report UPP_LAYOUT_CHECKIN, cf. note 428092.
Be careful with data in the Excel template: In the 'SAP area' the Excel templates contains no data (the dummy data
you see in the third screen of the layout builder will be cleared when you save the layout). Data in the SAP area will be overwritten at run time with transaction data, but the size of the SAP area (e.g. the number of used rows) of course depends on the transaction data.

Deleting lines in SEM-BPS Excel Layout

Within our BPS excel layout, if a user selects a line and deletes it, it only deletes the planned values in the key figures. It doesn't completely remove the line from the layout unless the user restarts the layout. We've tried checking and resumming, but these do not remove the line. Is there a way to delete a line and have it completely disappear without having to restart the layout?

Hi Lee,
you wrote:
If you select and delete, that line will disappear.
Does this happens even after characteristic values are protected?
Afte a line has been entered in BPS layout,
I can delete the entire line provided I've not executed any planning funciton / saved into cube. (at this point, characteristics are not protected)
If I do execute any planning funciton / saved into planning cube, at this point I doubt if one should be able to delete the entire line (both characteristics & key figures) (at this point, characteristics are protected & doesn't allow to delete the same manually)
at this point, to delete the line including protected characteristics, we will have to use delete funciton.
if am wrong, I'm also interested to know your solution.

Loading Master data into BPS through layouts

Hi SAP Gurus,
Is it possible to load the master data into BI-BPS through layouts(in BI 7.0
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Pradeep

Hi Pradeep,
if its combination of charactertics & keyfigures, then you need to load master data in Info objects(Characterstics) and for key figures you can load directly in the layout, once you save it , these values get saved back in Cube.
Hope this helps

ERROR in BPS Planning layout

Anyone got a clue??
We have characterstic txt. values exceeding 20 characters - resulting in an error in the BPS planning layout: <i>Characteristic value not valid</i>.
The planning layout only takes 20 characters - need it to take more - we have characteristic values with 30 char length. What can we do?
John

Hi Mike,
Thank U for your response - The masterdata is maintained and the planning layout in question has been working before. We just recently upgraded to BW 3.5 and then masterdata characteristics with value exeeding 20 characters the planning layout does not recognize. This results in an invalid error statement.
Is there a SAP Note that can handle this or do I have to make an OSS?

How to hide cells in the sumation row in bps web layouts

Hello xperts,
I'm looking for a possibility to hide certain cells in the sumation row within a planing table (layout) over the webinterface builder.
can anybody help me.
I know there is a possibility to influence a table with the tableinterface for reporting tables.
Is there any similar possibility in BPS- Web interface builder like a java script ?
Please help !!!

Hi Thomas,
what exactly do you mean by "hide certain cells"? Do want to empty the contents of the cell or actually hide the cell? Hiding works for entire rows or entire tables, but hiding colums or even single cells is a bit more difficult (given, that when you hide one cell, the table loses its rectangular shape and the rows and columns don't match anymore ).
I mangaged to change the appearance of certain objects with javascript. But that works only if you have an ID or NAME attribute in the HTML-source. Let's say you have a button and want to make it disappear.
1. Create the button in the wi builder, name it button1.
2. Create a text/html field, mark the html flag.
3. Edit the long text of the field:
<script>
document.getElementById('button1').style.display='none';
</script>
That will make the button disappear. But I don't think that the display attribute will have any effect on a TD. You can try with style.InnerHTML or maybe set style.color to the background color. But in any case, the TD in the HTML code needs to have an ID or NAME. Otherwise it can't be referred. Maybe changing the bsp with SE80 helps?

I have a requirement to add a new field which has values maintained as 0 and 1 to an existing planning cube.The user wants this new field in the existing planning layout where in he can enter the values for this field as 0 or 1.I have created a new field and maintained values for this field as 0 and 1.I have added this field to the existing planning area and have created variable with fixed value with range 0 to1.I have added the same in selections in existing planning level and package as well along with other existing selection conditions.
In additional functions of adhoc package they have made setting as set to all possible char combination.
In this planning area all the selections are locked in planning level and package.

How to adjust width into BPS web Layout

Hi gurus,
I´m working with BPS web Interface. I have a tabstrip control subcomponent composed by 3 differents layouts and the web interface is composed by differents tabstrip.All of this layouts represents the same information but restricted to differents characteristic value. I need to align the data of those layouts, I mean the first column of the first layout should have the same width as the first column of the second layout etc.
The idea is adjust the width of the columns of each layout in this tabstrip control. How can I do that? Is possible do that with CSS Styles? If it is possible How can I do that?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,
Try this may be useful for you..
In the Web interface when you double click the layout , you can see the window at the bottom saying your component name ,planning area etc..at the bottom most you can see the Width and height , there you can increase or decrease .
before that make excel web component as 'True', then only you can increase or decrease ..
Regards,
Siva.

Authorizations in SEM-BPS (Web Layouts)

Hi all,
I have a question that hopefully somebody can help me in solving it.
We have a bps application, with authorizations maintained in the sap normal way: pfcg, rssm, etc.
The question is that we started to build some web (alv) layouts, and need to maintain the same authorization schema.However, the authorizations are not verified in the web layouts.
Can somebody provide some hint in solving this problem ?
Best Regards,
Ricardo

Hi Raman,
Sorry but your tip doesn't work
That's precisely our problem: the authorization scheme we implemented in the "SAP GUI side" doesn't work in the web side". Using web layouts, I still can acess some layouts I shouldn't be allowed to (user dependent)
Thank you anyway

Ricardo

Using mime objects in bps excel layouts

Does anyone know how to user mime objects in bps excel based layouts? I know you can insert 'pictures' but I don't see a link to the mime repository like you have in the web interface builder.
Thanks

Hi Charles,
There are two How to documents available on SDN, to work on the MIME objects and the procedure for the same.
How to Add a Logo into the MIME Repository
How to Add a Cascading Style Sheet into the MIME Repository
Refer to the below links to access the same.
