BPS - sign and balance within planning cube

Hi,
does anyone have experience with planning using debit/credit characteristic and the SAP stand function "Automatic Sign Assignment"?
We do have positive amounts for debit and credit in any case. The assignment of the sign we are realising using the recommended automatic sign assignment. but this works for layouts only not for standard functions.
It is difficult to find any comment in the web about that any comments where documentation for that is available?
Has anyone planned in BPS with this philosophy before?
I know that SAP is saying that this kind of planning should  be done by retraktion from BW to R/3 using CO standard functions, but we will not use this method and would prefer to plan this level of detail already in BPS due to several reasons.
have a nice weekend
Eckhard Lewin

Hello Eckhard,
the key thing is to distinguish between data storage and data display. Debit/credit data always has to balance.
Therefore, SAP stores it with different signs. All you need to do to validate balancing is summing up all records. The total always has to be zero.
However, users do not like to see negative figures when they are dealing with revenue for example. Therefore, for display purposes the sign is switched using the automatic sign assignment functionality. This is available for planning layouts as well as for queries.
When working with the data internally (functions, retractions), you don't have to worry about the sign. The data is stored the same way in R/3 and in BW (if you do it right).

  • Balance calculation in P/L and balance sheet planning

    Dear Community,
    we are courently solving the issue of P/L and Balance sheet planning. We have two keyfigures (0AMOUNT and 0BALANCE). 0AMOUNT is planned and 0BALANCE has to be calculated according to the planned amount.
    We were thinking about writing some FOX formula but we don't have any hint how to do that.
    I am sure many people have done this before.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  • BPS Processing Question for 2 Planning Cubes

    Hello, Can you please give input on the following scenario:
    We have 2 planning cubes, cube 1 contains selection
    criteria records which will be used to select and
    process the detail records from planning cube 2. i.e.
    Sales Org = 100, Material= 200, Pct=.05  
    This cube could have multiple records with different
    selection criteria.
    Cube 2 holds the detail data to be selected and
    manipulated based on the records from cube 1. We want
    to process each record from cube 1, one record at a
    time as selection criteria to select and process the
    data from of records of 2nd cube. i.e. Select Sales
    Org = 100, Material=200, Cost = Cost * .05 etc. 
    Do you have a best practice or ideas? 
    I really appreciate any help.  Scott

    I think you should include these 2 cubes in a multiplanning area and implement a FOX function for this scenario. The same combinations of sales org, material... etc will get grouped into one data packet and get processed together (these criterion chars should not be marked <i>'to be changed'</i>).
    Hope this helps.

  • Automatically trigger the event to load data from Planning cube to Standard Cube

    Hello,
    We have a below set up in our system..
    1. A Planning BEx query using which user makes certain entries and writes back data to the planning cube.
    2. An actual reporting cube which gets data from the planning cube above.
    Now, what we want to do is to automate the data load from Planning cube to Reporting cube.
    This involves 2 things..
    1. Change the setting " Change real time load behaviour " of the planing cube to Planning.
    2. Trigger the DTP which loads data from Planning cube to reporting cube.
    We want to automate the above two steps...
    I have tried few things to achieve the same..
    1. Created an event in SM64,
    2. In the Planning cube "Manage" Screen,  clicked on "Subsequent Processing" and provided the event details. ( Not sure if its the correct place to provide the event detail ).
    3. Wrote a ABAP program which changes the setting of the planning cube (  " Change real time load behaviour " to Loading )
    4. Created a process chain, where we have used the event as a start variant, used the ABAP program as a next step, DTP run as the last step..
    This i hoped, would trigger the event as soon as a new request comes and sits in planning cube, which in turn would trigger the process chain which would load the data from Planning cube to reporting cube..
    This is not working. I dont think the event is triggering, and even if does i am not sure whether it will start the process chain automatically. Any ideas please ?

    hi,

  • Function types for Balance Sheet Planning missing in SEM-BPS 6.0

    Hi BPS experts,
    After upgrading our BI-system from SEM 4.0 to SEM 6.0 (level 10) as part of the upgrade from BW 3.5 to BI 7.0 (level 15), the BPS function types for balance sheet planning are not available in the planning environment (Transaction code BPS0).
    According to the SAP Library the balance sheet planning functions in SEM-BPS comprises of 6 standard function types - one of them is "Depreciation":
    <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sem60/helpdata/en/0a/242537cedf2056e10000009b38f936/frameset.htm">help.sap.com -> Business Planning and Simulation (BW-BPS)</a>   
    Menu path: Business Planning Functions -> Functions for Balance Sheet Planning
    In our existing SEM 4.0 we are using "Depreciation" and the functions based on this function type are of course short dumping when executed in our upgraded system (SEM 6.0) as the function type does not exist here.
    Odd though - we do have the function type "Allocation" available in SEM 6.0, which should be delivered with SEM together with the Balance Sheet Planning function types (It is listed directly under "Business Planning Functions" in the SAP Library) .
    I have tried to figure out whether we missed out on activating something during or after the system installation, but our basis consultant has not found anything in the installation guides related to this issue. Also I was wondering whether it could be a simple matter of activating some Business Content but without any luck.
    Does anybody know why the Balance Sheet Function Types are not available in SEM-BPS 6.0?
    Kind regards,
    Lars

  • Create and Populate a Hyperion Planning Cube using Hyperion Data Integratio

    Friends,
    I am new to Essbase and have worked extensively in Informatica. Hyperion DIM (OEM version of Informatica) is chosen to create and populate a Hyperion Planning System (with Essbase cube in the backend).
    I am using Hyperion DIM 9.3.
    Can someone let me know (or share a document) how I can do the following
    1) Create a Planning application with a Essbase Cube in the backend using Hyperion Data Integration Management
    2) How to populate the Essbase outline and the actuals Essbase cube with data using DIM.
    Thanks a lot for all help.

    Hi,
    You cannot create planning applications using DIM.
    To load metadata have a look at :- http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/hyp_fp/DIM_Planning/OBE_Dim_Planning.html
    You can refresh planning database in DIM by
    To enable the Refresh Database property for a session:
    In Workflow Manager, right-click the session and select Edit.
    Click the Mapping tab.
    Select a Planning target.
    Check the Refresh Database box.
    Ok?
    Cheers

  • Delete Planning Cost/Revenues and Balance Sheet Data

    SAP Gurus,
    Does anyone knows how to delete Planning data related to Cost/Revenues and Balance Sheet Under Prift Center Accounting?
    I already found the Cost center side KP90 and KP91, but unable to find the Profit Center side.
    Your help will be greatly appreciated.

    I think KP90 / KP91 are not just for cost centers - they are to delete PCA, PA planning as well.  In KP90, you can restrict deletion for given cost elements.  KP91 is to delete data for all cost elements in a given planning version / fiscal year.

  • BPC Balance sheet , Profit loss and cash flow planning

    Hi Friends,
    Can anybody have the documents or links for BPC balance sheet and Profit loass and cash flowing for data flow from R/3 to BW abd BW to BPC as wells as what is process form business point of view. what are the EVdre reports and input scdules and we deelope and also data source for balancesheet and Profie and loss and Cash flow planning in BPC/
    PLease share any documents if you hae.
    Thanks
    Best regards
    SG

    Hi SG,
    What Raghu has shared are the best practices. However, what you need is the understanding of the these financial statements from a general perspective (not BPC). These documents are just financial statements. BPC is just a tool, in which you can create these statements. But, in order to create these statements in BPC, you need to understand the basic terminologies of the financial statements.
    You can search them directly. on the internet.
    Hope this helps.

  • Partitioning Between Essbase and Planning cube

    Hi Experts,
    Can any one please help me on the following issue.
    I got the requirement where I need to load the data from Planning cube into Essbase cube.
    I have One dimension less Essbase cube.
    Can we able to copy the data using partitioning?
    Thanks in advance,
    Reddy

    Indeed that is a very good post on this topic.
    Ultimately you want to leverage the native Reporting Application functionality within Planning versus the traditional partitioning native to Essbase (Replicated, Transparent, Linked).

    I set the real time cube to planning mode.
    Please let me know if there are any settings to save the data to cube or how can it be done.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Lavanya,
    What do you mean by "the data did not get updated into the cube" ?
    Don't you find a yellow request in the cube administration transaction ? What happened if you set it to green ?

    Naveen,
        Are yo having issue when you save something in the layout, the data doesn't appear in the listcube ? Or do you have issue that the latest data you see in the cube doesn't appear in the layout ?
    For the former issue, please look at your selections of listcube and for the second issue, please check your planning level definition, make sure all the restrictions you have applied are valid for this latest data to be presented in the layout.
    Hope this helps.

  • Balance Sheet Planning - FOX

    Hello.
    We are designing Balance Sheet planning in BPS and would like to use FOX for some of the calculations. 
    One of the calculations will be for Trade Receivables.  It will be calculated as:
    Trade Receivables = Net Sales Revenue * DSO
    DSO calculated as: Trade debtors (AI) R/3 actual values / Net Sales Revenue (actual values) X Number of days in period
    The questions is to how to make 'number days in period' dymanic?  We are using Fiscal periods, but need to bring in the number of days in the calendar month.
    How do we make this dynamic?  Or do we need to code in a condition for each period?
    Any advise for Balance Sheet FOX much appreciated.

    Hi,
    You can proceed as suggested ,to add for using function module in fox you have to define it in
    enter the name of the function module in transaction SM30 in the table RSPLF_FDIR.

  • Do i have to sign up for a plan when I buy ?

    Hi
    I just spoke to a staff member within an Apple store, and I was told that I cannot buy a phone without signing up to a plan right then and there. This is a bit of a shock, as I was planning to buy the phone as a gift, and have then activate it themselves later. Is this correct ? Can you no longer buy an Iphone without a plan being purchased straigh away ??
    Anyone ?

    You don't need to contact Verizon regarding the number porting process and you shouldn't. If you cancel your Verizon contract before you allow AT&T to port the number, your Verizon number will be lost.
    When activating an iPhone with iTunes and AT&T, there is a selection for porting a number from another provider. When doing so, you enter your existing cell phone number including the area code and AT&T takes care of the rest. The next time and only time you'll hear from Verizon will be when receiving your bill - along with incentives provided for not changing.

  • A/P & Consignment data pull to Planning Cube.....

    I put this in "BC & Extractors" section, but did not get any response.....
    Need couple of clarifications (brief background is provided.....):
    1. We do DELTA extractions using 0FI_AP_3 adn 0FI_AR_4 to a base cube which includes both 'Open' and 'Cleared'
    items. From this cube we do a DELTA load to a Planning Cube on a DAILY basis. We filter the data on Company Code
    and 'Item Status' (OnlyOPEN Items) for Planning purposes. The key figure pulled to Planning Cube is '0DEB_CRE_DC'.
    The bsae cube has data at Line Item Document level, where as the planning cube is only at Customer & Vendor level.
    The question is - Will this Daily DELTA to Planning cube with filter on Open Item bring correct key figure? For example,
    if the status of one of the items pulled as OPEN in earlier Delta changes to "CLEARED" the subsequent day, will the Key
    Figure reflect the changes and show correct value? Is there any impact on the key figure due to the filter on Open Item?
    My thinking is the key figure 0DEB_DRE_DC will reflect he correct number (adjsuted) since it is a summated key figure.
    I could be totally wrong and want to understand this with comments from experts.
    2. Has anyone worked with pulling Consignment (SMI) data into Planning cube? We pull this data using a generic extractor
    from a SAP table "RKWA" with some logic. Since I pull A/P data that contains SMI & Non-SMI transactions. To avoid
    Double Counting, how can I avoid bringing in the SMI transactions from A/P? There is no flag to diffferentiate the SMI /
    Non-SMI transactions....
    I am hoping someone has worked in these area to offer expert comments/ recommendations.
    Thanks.. Shaun
    Please post one question only once
    Edited by: Vikram Srivastava on Aug 13, 2010 1:02 PM

    Hello Lee,
    For your first question as you are using the Filter on the status of the record,
    lets say today the status is OPen and as a part of the filter the Delta will be able to pick this record as the status is OPen but if the status is changed to Closed tomorrow then this record will be completely ignored and hence in the next level target you will not have the right status at all.
    So you need to plan your filters accordingly.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks
