Bps-planning level

hi friends,
i am creating planning level by default i am getting ad-hoc package .
what is this.
Thanking u
suneel.

Ad hoc package is generated for you to use; usually we ignore them, and use our own with our naming standards for the same of authorization and other purposes.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Transport of BPS planning area (variables) without transp. all pl. levels

Hi!
Can anybody advice me, how to transport new variables which I have created to a planning area, without transporting all planning levels which belong to it?
I transported a few planning levels that include the new variables I created to the planning area. As a result, the planning levels are transported but the new variables are missing. I don´t want to transport the whole planning area, since it contains a development which is not ready yet. Can I transport the missing variables with SE15 (how?) or is there some other way to do it?
Grateful for any help,
Sari

Sari,
Please execute program UPC_TRANSPORT_BPS_ALL and transport your variables without transporting any level or area.
Hope this helps.

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

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.
Rinku

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)

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.

This is solved now with support package 12

Problem adding a new field to existing BPS planning layout

Hi
I am new to BPS and planning
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.
Now when i execute the planning layout to enter data,my new field is grayed out,it does not allow me to enter the values.need help with this as to how can i make this field input enabled.This is an independent characteristic.
Thanks
Panchan

Hi,
Yu need to delete the data to fill the new field again.

Creation of new planning level in BPS0 in BW 3.5

Dear Experts,
I have to create a new planning layout in BW 3.5 BPS
for this ,I have followed the below procedure:
-Maintained the master data of new keyfigures in Info Object: Key Figure (0MEASURE) in RSA1
-Copied the Similar Planning level in the same Planning area (in which I need to add the new one) and created a new planning level with its subordinate objects and then changed by deleting the keyfigures except # and added the new keyfigures, to be maintained in new planning area and saved.
-Changed the planning layout (which is created automatiacally whne we copied planning level) by deleting the existing key figures except 0KEYFG_FLAG and added the required key figure and saved.
-copied the planning profile and created a new planning profile and changed it with required planning level and package and saved.
-In T-code:upx_mntn1, I could see the new planning level with the required key figure there.
But this new planning profile is not appraring in the CRM server.
As I haven't worked in BPS , please guide me if there is any thing needs to be done or any changes in the procedure followed.
Please share any documentation or links you have ....regarding this
Please share your Ideas
Thanks in advance....
Arjun

Hi,
The Planning Profile has been created in CRM also and hence the configuration is working

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.
