Hi,
Please refer to this link : http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/fa/c1194276e0de2ce10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm. This documentation provides all the information you need to configure and run business planning on Portal.
Just refer to the section Tasks -> Business Planning Scenario Variant. It refers to the JCo Connections and other configurations you would need to maintain.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,

Hi Cornelia,
With the link Planning Modeler and Planning Wizard should be opened.
I mean if we click on Start Modeler button in transaction RSPLAN, the link should redirect us to Planning Modeler.
And if we click on Start Wizard button in the transaction RSPLAN, the link should redirect us to Planning Wizard.

Hello Marc and Sander,
I checked the document status and tested the link myself using a PC external to the SAP environment and did not have any problem. You do have to be logged in to do this. If you are not, you should see a page that will appear which says that a login is required to use that feature. On some occassions, users see an error message instead. I apologize for that.
Kind Regards,

Business Plan Software

I'm getting ready to startup a small business and I'm looking for some Mac compatible software that's similar to Business Plan Pro by PaloAltoSoftware: http://www.paloalto.com/ps/bp/index_b.cfm?CFID=477702&CFTOKEN=8696d6e1687d10c7-7 C23082A-C1F3-6E2B-DAC74C968E8E748F
Is there anything like this for the Mac?
Thanks,

SAP BW-BPS (Business Planning and Simulation)

Hi All,
Can anybody tell me, what will be the impact on SAP BW-BPS (Business Planning and Simulation) after upgradation fron SAP BW 3.5 to SAP BI 7.0.
or what all care need to be taken before upgradation?
Regards,
Prateek

Please allow me this opportunity to point out that "upgradation" and "updation" are not real words. The correct terms are "upgrade" and "update".
Seems trivial, but I've seen them make their way into names of workflow steps and class methods.
Yes, English is not logical!
creation - yes
deletion - yes
updation - no It's update.

How should a professional business plan look like?

Hi,
How should a professional business plan look like?
My teacher just gave me this sample business plan. Now, the content is alright, but what about the typography? I'm not sure, I'm not really a designer, but I do get the feeling it's not as beautiful as it could be. I take it a business plan should appear serious and controlled, almost conservative, as to show investors that you won't do anything stupid with their money. Also, I remember reading somewhere that the best typography is the kind of typography that goes by unnoticed (e.g. nothing fancy) as to not divert the reader's attention from the actual content.
I don't know, what do you guys say?
Thanks!

Thomas Phinney wrote:
Well, that is a serious, conservative layout, sure. I'm assuming the red text is instructions/suggestions from the teacher, and gets replaced by black text. Is that right?
Is the purpose of the business plan to attract investors or convince a bank or something? If it was, I'd probably change the typeface selection so that it wasn't all in Times. Nothing radical, but maybe a slightly more flavorful sans serif for headings, and a serif body typeface with a tiny bit more character. Could be for example Frutiger and Baskerville. Still pretty restrained, just not identical to most of the business plans they see.
But then again, I'm the guy who jailbroke his iPhone primarily to change the UI typeface, and asked the forum admins to change the default typeface here as well. So maybe I'm a little obsessive on this sort of thing.
Cheers,
T
Oh yes indeed, it's for investors who go through hundreds of Times-based business plans every day. I really like the way you worded things there, "still restrained, just not identical to most of the business plans they see".
Frutiger and Baskerville is a great suggestion! I'm open to more before I go ahead and buy myself a new pair of fonts though.
Much obliged!

Business Planning Object

I have a business requirement to provide Business Planning information on Accounts for our Field Sales Reps. I have viewed the R17 webinar on Business Planning for Life Sciences and it looks just like what I need, but I am not in the Life Sciences vertical. Is the Business Planning object available to everyone? If so, how do they get enabled?
Thanks,
Neil

Thanks for your reply. I will contact support.

Link my Typekit Business plan to Creative cloud subscription? What will I pay?

So I have a Typekit Business Plan (10M) for my company. We pay monthly via creditcard ($200).
If I get a new Creative Cloud subscription, Typekit Portfolio is included. But the help page says my "existing Business or Enterprise plan will be unchanged when linked to a Creative Cloud subscription."
So what will I pay in total if I get a CC subscription? Is it included in the monthly fee I pay for Typekit? Or do I just pay for each plan (i.e. Typekit + CC)?
Thanks,
Joris

Hi Joris,
I am sorry for any confusion here. Your Creative Cloud subscription includes a Typekit Portfolio plan. Since the Business plan is a higher level plan than what is included in Creative Cloud, you are billed separately for it.
You may link your Typekit account to your Creative Cloud subscription if you like, but you will still be billed monthly for your Business plan, using the credit card that is on file with your account.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to get in touch with us at [email protected] Best,

Privacy on Verizon Business Plan

My phone is owned by my employer and my plan is paid for by my employer. Does my employer have access to my text messages, emails and phone call records? As with a lot of people these days, I use my work phone for work and personal use. I'm concerned about my employer's ability to view anything and everything on my work phone that I consider personal. I read through the privacy policy but most of the information provided is regarding personal or family plans, not business plans.

iPhone 5s is the phone type.
I'd like to know what Verizon's policy is on the subject. Say, for example, my employer calls and asks for all of my text message history. Does Verizon hand it over or not? Does it vary from company to company? If so, why?
Agreed that I shouldn't "expect" any privacy but just curious how easy it is for the employer to access the data on the phone.

Business Object Planning and Consolidation&Business Planning and Consold...

Hi Friends
Please can you advise me on the difference between
Business Object Planning and Consolidation and Business Planning and Consolidation
for both the topics, SAP provides short name as BPC
*Thank you and Kindest regards
Srikaanth*

Hi,
Basically, there is no difference. Till the version 7.0, it was called business planning and consolidation. From 7.5 ,its called business objects planning and consolidation.

I am seeking a good Business Plan template.

Finding good Business Plan templates is always difficult, most are geared to business activities, I need a good template for starting a "manufacturing" plant. Funding would be a combo of private & government participation.

Glad someone does Peggy.
The notification system seems to be quite sporadic.
I go to get links for FAQs and occassionally spot the odd irrelevant comment and spam, but really unless it is totally off the wall I leave them be. At least for a month or two, then clean them off just so it doesn't bury the valuable stuff.
Been thinking about reconstructing the entire thing using WordPress so I can get better control over the layout and sort them imto more logical groups. I have trouble locating stuff I know is there and I pity the newcomer who doesn't even know it exists.
