Reference material/book on BPS
I have experience in BW but I am new to BPS and BI Integrated Planning. Is there any good material or book that I can use as a starting point to learn this subject.
Thank you in advance for any guidance you can provide.
VigneshI want to know if any of you have <u>read the planning book</u>. I feel I can get a quick jump-start on BI planning if they are technical and well explained.
BPS: Business Planning with SAP SEM; Roland Fischer; SAP Press; ISBN 1-59229-033-7
IP: SAP Netweaver BI Integrated Planning for Finance; SAP Press; ISBN 978-1-59229-129-8 (new)
I can then use the reference material in SAP as an additional aid in the learning process.
1. Do you know if the book provide step-by-step instructions in configuration?
2. Are they easy to understand?
3. Are they theoretical or practical?
I am particularly interested in the book BI Integrated planning for finance as it is the new option for planning.
Appreciate your feedback.

Vignesh -

Nayanasri.Hello All,
BPS is currently very well documented on SAP's help website which is entirely free and does not require a login or anything of that kind. I highly recommend taking a look at this when you get an opportunity to do so.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/e3/e60138fede083de10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm
Look under the Business Planning tab and right below the information about Integrated Planning there is a ton of information on BW-BPS.
Hope this helps.

LIST OF VALUES not Populating in BPS WEB INTERFACE ( LAYOUTS )
Hi BI Guru's
I have created a WEB interface for BPS in BI ( version 7.0) . But when i execute this in internet explorer, I do not get the LIST OF VALUES for Material.
When I click on "input help" the system open a new window for "Value selection". When I specify the material code, it gives me blank LIST OF VALUES.
But it is working for other fields like Customer, UOM in the same layout.
Please suggest some solution.
Thanks,
Nilesh Labdehi,
Thanks for the reply.
Master data is avaliable for the Material Code. The problem is in Internet Explorer and not in SAP GUI .
If i run Planning folder for the same layou in SAP GUI it is working fine. -
SEM-BPS how to load additional data for special users at runtime?
Let´s assume you have a transactional info cube which contains SD Data from the source system.
If you want to show additional data, let´s say the attributes of the sold materials which can be read in the table MARA of the source system (provided you use R/3, etc.)
and you only want to show this data for a small amount of users, which need to see it, then i wonder how to do this.
am i right, that i can use the exit functions to init key figures, i.e. i could write some code which connects to the source system over RFC, downloads the data at runtime and presents it at the users excel sheet????
moreover, is it necessary to extend the existing cube, just to achieve this aim?
Message was edited by: Gideon LenzHello Gideon,
there's no need to program anything. You can display any attribute in planning layouts. In your case you would extract the master data from material from SAP R/3 (MARA) into BW. The setup the layout to show the required attribute(s) in the layout in BPS.
If the attribute is relevant only for a specific user group, just give them access to this "special" layout (create a planning folder or web interface for this group).

How to restrict the variables in BPS
Hi experts,
I have a problem with restricting the variables in the BPS function.
In the planning area, I have created a characteristics variable with user define value (input allowed by user) replacement type.
Yet, in the planning folder, it seems that I can only select either a single value (for example material 1000) or a range of values (for example material 1000 to 5000).
I can't choose several single values (for example 1005, 1020, 1030).
Since I need this functionality, do you maybe know how to solve this problem?
Thank you very much.BPS variables does not allow the choice of multiple single values, you can choose a single value OR a range of values. This issues has been brought up with SAP Development.
If you need single values or a complete range of values, you can add each single value as a fixed value and the range as another fixed value that can be selected. You can select each single value individually or the whole range (or any subranges you specified) but not multiple selections of single values.
In user definted variable if you check input allowed by users, you can add some values and the users can add more but then they could potentially go into material numbers they should not get access too.
Hope it helps.

Dynamic creation of data slices by admin users in BPS
hi
Can we create planning function so that administrative users can create data slices as per their timings.
kind regards
SarahDear Sarah,
I donot have any sample code as of now as I am not able to access a BPS system. But let me tell you that this is simple. Create a exit planning function. Then create a FM and assign this FM in exit function INIT FM. In the FM do the following insertions to the data slice tables.
First have a look at the tables UPC_DATASLICE, UPC_DATASLICET and UPC_OPTIOS. Create a 22 character unique GUID. You can use the standard function modules for this. Let this guid be guid_new. Then get the maximum sort id of data slices for your planning area from the table UPC_DATASLICE. Now add 1 to this maximum sort and have it as sort_new. Now insert this guid_new, sort_new, your planning area name as a new row in the table UPC_DATASLICE.
After that insert sort_new, your planning area name, your new data slice name to the table UPC_DATASLICET.
The characteristic value restrictions of the data slices are held in the table UPC_OPTIOS. For the particular GUID each characteristic restriction has one row each. Consider that you are creating data slice for the year 2008 and material 'M'. So in table UPC_OPTIOS there will be 2 records with GUID guid_new. One will be for '0FISCYEAR' and the next record will be for '0MATERIAL'. See table UPC_OPTIOS for the structure of the records. You should use function module 'UPC_OPTIOS_INSERT' to insert into the table UPC_OPTIOS. Goto se37 and have a look at the function module for the structure.
Dynamic refresh of the buffer:
If u are creating only 1 data slice in 1 transaction then you should do the following:
PERFORM BUFFER_DATASLICE_GET
IN PROGRAM SAPLUPC_DATASLICE
USING DS_AREA_NAME "insert your data slice area name here
'E'
CHANGING ES_AREA_SLICE.
PERFORM BUFFER_DATASLICE_UPDATE
IN PROGRAM SAPLUPC_DATASLICE
CHANGING ES_AREA_SLICE.
CALL FUNCTION 'UPC_DATASLICE_COMMIT'.
CALL FUNCTION 'UPC_DATASLICE_SAVE'.
This will refresh the data slice buffer!
I think this is sufficient enough for ur requirement. You should be able to do it easily now! Feel free to ask if u have more doubts.

BPS retraction of Quantity in CO OM not retracting at all !
Hi everybody, I post after many and many trials.
I am retracting Primary Costs ( we have planned on CostElements for CO-OM Internal Orders) and I followed the blogs etc. Everything is fine for the Amount and it retracts ok by Posting Period but the quantities are not retracting at all.
I also fixed the Unit as H as suggested because the quantity is in Hours and the R3 system expect that I retract hours for the CostElement related to Cost of Personnell.
I don't move out from this position since long and I should deliver the project in 10 days .
Any help is really really welcome.

Edited by: Walter Cista on Oct 26, 2008 10:04 PMHi Marc,
first of all my personal compliments because very often I follow your posts .
Your answer let me "smell" the right way . Before to post I already debugged the retraction but at first look, if you don't feel that also somebody else found mistakes you can debug for hours and all looks fine. So this time I debugged with more attention and I found something strange in the Unit of Measures. In R3 the Cost Element expect H as Hours but in the RFC was going the quantity without the Unit of Measure. As I remember also in the blog about retraction the author said to take care about UOM. So I checked better Retraction about UOM and I found a OSS note . Anyway if this thread can be of help, I put here the list of OSS notes to be checked.
The system where I work is always updated but I remember that sometimes especially in some cases where you miss some PIns or for many other reasons, (not good upgrades for example) the system in some part can remain not updated even if there are the proper HP.
If I can help anybody with similar problems if JUST SEARCHING for LUPREF02 in OSS NOTES you will find many !!!!

SAP BW 3.5 Certification Material required ? -- Urgent plz
Hi ,
I registered for SAP BW 3.5 examination on 10 aug. I desparately in need of
TBW10, TBW20, TBW30, TBW40, BWD35 (Delta - Reporting WHM, Extraction, SAP BW 3.0 3.5), TBW45 (Business Planning and Simulation)
material.
If any have kindly send it to anilkumar.bejjanki@gmail id please.Your help is appreciated.
Thanks in advanceThese are the sections that would be tested in the certification exam.
1) Data Modeling --> 8 questions (BW 330 covers these questions)
2) Netweaver - Technical scenarios --> 8 questions (the PPT that i sent would cover this)
3) Authorization --> 4 questions (BW365)
4) Warehouse Management --> 20 questions (BW310)
5) Extraction --> 12 questions (BW340, 350)
6) Reporting --> 20 questions (BW305, 315)
7) BPS --> 8 questions (BW370 or TBW45)
I started my preparation exactly 4 weeks before the exam. I practiced for about 10 days on the system.
I studied 8-10 hours per day and finished my first study just 9 days before the exam.
Then it took for about 7 days for the first revision and I made a second revision in 2 days.
Here is the order of the books that i suggest you to study (if you are planning to take the exam):
1) BW310 (Don't study Archiving i.e, 11th chapter)
2) BW340 (Don't study ETL with Datastage and Open Hub service -- not required for certification exam)
3) BW330 (All chapters are required)
4) BW350 (FI-SL and CRM not required for the certification exam)
5) BW305 (All chapters are required.. don't neglect CSS part, MIME repository... though they are quite boring..I studied them...and i got 2 to 3 questions from them)
6) BW315 (All chapters are required)
7) BW365 (All chapters are required)
8) BW370 (15 chapters would be enough..concentrate more on first 11 chapters..I got 8 questions from the first 11 chapters and 13th chapter .. web interface builder)
I suggest you not to buy any certification exam books...it's waste of money. I bought 2 books...and i never opened them as someone suggested in the forums that the questions would come from the SAP offficial training material..I concentrated revising them 2 times rather than taking any practice tests...and in fact, I did not take any practice test also..
