BW HIERARCHY IN BPS

Hi people,
I have created a hierarchy in bw.It goes like this.
Region->State->Product.
I am working on planning for a product which has its presence in 4 regions(north,south,east,west) .Each region comprise of 3 states.
I was able to create a hierarchy in bw successfully.But come across a problem while using that in sem-bps.It says link node not available or no sub-hierarchy.
Can anyone give me the clear steps of using the hierarchies created in bw to be implemented in sem-bps.
If anyone want further details on this,please mail me at [email protected]
Appreciate sooner response.
Regards,
Ragav.

Hi,
I checked on it.Its of great help indeed.Thanks a lot.I have started working on it.I have another doubt.
Lemme explain the problem i am facing.My requirement goes like this.,
A car company has 3 variants in 4 regions(NORTH,SOUTH,EAST,WEST).
Each region has 3 states.
In bw, i have created a characteristic for region that holds the 4 values, a characteristic for states which contains the states and a characteristic for product which has the models.I would like to use hierarchy now.Under which characteruistic shall i create the hierarchy?and also how to use thehierarchy created in bps.Is it realy necessary that i have to look in for characyteristics relationship in planning area settings after creating hierarchy in bw?

External characteristics and postable nodes in BW hierarchy in BPS layout

Hi!
Short question: If using a hierarchical layout in BW-BPS what are the constraints on the hierarchy for values to be able to be planned on the individual levels of the hierarchy?
Typically if one has a product hierarchy with one hierarchy basic characteristic: product and an external characteristic: product group which are connected in a hierarchy. How can values be planned on the product group level? And how does this relate to postable nodes in the BW documentation: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/c1/493d3854129f68e10000009b38f8cf/content.htm. Is it only postable nodes that can be planned?

SEM 4.0 Hierarchy Variable Text Display

When using a variable of type hierarchy in BPS web interface with new design, text for nodes & characteristics fail to display. Same config works fine with old design. There is a note on a similar issue, however it only applied to 3.5 and lower. Anyone has seen similar?

While executing mannual l/o not picking related data,showing notassigned(#)

Hi Experts,
I am working on Generic Top Down Mannual planning Model .
My planning level and package Contains the Characteristics: Company code, Division, Sales District, Sales office, Region, Brand, Product, Size, segment
the Mannual Layout is Keyfigure in Datacoloum model and i selected Hierarchy Data Model with Hierarchy Type 'BPS Characteristics Hierarchies with Totaling logic is 'Top Down' and i selected Sales Office, Brand, Segment, Size in LEAD COLOUMN Remaining in the Header only.
In Planning Level i wanted restrict the SALES DISTRICT to one district, and want all the sales offices to be display in the planning layout.
When i try to Executing the Layout it display the Non assigned values against Sales Offices.
i have checked in the 0SALESOFFICE table which are maintained properly, but it showing NOTASSIGNED values. what could be the reason, please suggest if i have missed any setting.
Pls help me on this issue.
Thanks

Hi Indu Thanks a lot for your suggestions,
let me tell you clearly, as I am working on Generic Top Down Mannual planning Model .

i have checked in the 0SALESOFFICE table which are maintained properly, but it showing NOTASSIGNED values. and i have checked the Sales District and Sales office is also available in the infocube level.
in general its a straingh forward, in the level if restrict to particular district, and restrict the sales offices according to the District which are maintained in the backend tables of Masterdata, it should the sales offices.
if any solutions plese help me indu.

Keydate for master data

Hello,
I have a planning area with user exit variables and characteristics relations.
My problem is that i do my selection for a particular month in my layout and my user exit variable read the month to find the employees for this month (for example).
But the characteristics relations (attr) don't show this employee because it read the current master data, and not the master data of the selected month.
Example : my user select the month 01.2006. All the user exit variable are filled looking in the master data for 01.2006. ( and i find 8 employees).
The problem is that my layout is hierarchical ( not a true hierarchy, a BPS one, defined with char rels). The char rels calculate the tree and only 5 employee are show for one team. Normal : at the current date, these employees are not anymore in the team, but well in 01.2006, and then are well selected in my user exit varaible, but not shown due to char rels.
Any idea how i can change dynamically this keydate ?
Regards,
Jarod.

Hey Jarod,
Think you need to code your own exit type characteristic relationship.
I have a similar sceanrio where i derive profit center and cost center category from time dependant cost center MD based on planning month first date (and not current date that the "standard" char rel would use).
Hope it helps.

Time dependent hierarchy structure in SEM-BPS

I want to use a time dependent hierarchy structure in sem BPS to make combination chek and proposal in a layout.
I have manage a relation of type hierarchy (based on this hierarchy) in the characteristic relationship tab page of my planning area.
I open my layout to make entries in the future (next fiscal year) but the system doesn't propose me the datas valide for the next fiscal year in my hierarchy but the datas validate today.
There is a key date in the master data tab page of the planning area but it seems to have only effects on attributes with validity dates but not with hierarchy with time dependent hierarchy structure.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
The key data that you enter in the planning area is only for time dependent characteristics and attributes. For the hierarchies in the characteristic relationships the current data is used.
If you still want to use a time dependent hierarchy for modeling the characteristic relationships you could use a characteristic relationship type exit. In the exit you can read the hierarchy with the proper date.

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.

Hierarchy Exit variable in BPS

Hi,
I have a pb:
I have a hier (ZHIER) based on InfoObject YIndic:
- Node : Text node
          - Region : Characteristic node (char: Yregion) ex: 1
                   - Dpt: Text node   ex: 1P2
                          - Indic : Characteristic node (char: YIndic)
          - Region : Characteristic node (char: Yregion) ex: 2
                   - Dpt: Text node ex: 2P3
                          - Indic : Characteristic node (char: YIndic)
In planing Layouts (BPS), I'd like to display only Indics related to the Dpt and the region of the user. So I'd like to use a Hierarchy Exit variable to take the right node.
I wrote the following code (I replaced working variables by real values):
ls_hiersel-chanm = 'YINDIC'.
ls_hiersel-hienm = 'ZHIER'.
ls_hiersel-nodename = '1P2'.
ls_hiersel-hiever   = 'A'.
ls_hiersel-hiecha   = '0HIER_NODE'.
ls_hiersel-dummy_leaf   = ''.
ls_hiersel-dateto   = '99991231'.
CLEAR ls_chadep.
ls_chadep-chanm = 'YREGION'.
ls_chadep-chavlint = '1'.
APPEND ls_chadep TO ls_hiersel-to_chadep.
INSERT ls_hiersel INTO TABLE et_hie_nodes.
ENDFUNCTION.
My problem is that when I launch my layout, the system tell "the node 1P2 doesn't existing" but node is effectively existing. I thing that BPS doesn't know where to search my node but I took this piece of code from another function and I don't know how to tell to BPS where to search the node. It's maybe at the end of the code but I'm a Beginner in ABAP.
Can anybody can help me please?
Many thanks.
J Sorel

Thanks for your help.
Could you explain me please what does the code I wrote and your modification (I have not tried yet)?
I took this piece of code from an existing function module but due to my Abap level I can't understand what I do. I think that BPS doesn't undertands where (in which level) to search the node. Is there in the code you wrote an information related to the level where the node is?
Many thanks

Upload a flat file to BPS layout with hierarchy: is it possible?

Hello, BPS people!
I used a known "HowTo...using SAPGUI" to load a flat file to BPS layout. Finally I need to use a predefined layout with several variables and hierarchical representation of characteristic values in the key field ( I can't use a special layout for file uploading!). The procedure works fine if I use a flat structure of characteristic in the key field (no hierarchy). But once I choose a hierarchical representation of key characteristic in the level (but nonhierarchical model in the first screen of layout builder!) the layout data after uploading is absolutely wrong!
1) whether is it possible to perform that without ABAP coding?
2) If not, how can I change the function modules to use hierarchy?
Thank you!
Yurij

Sorry again!
I have solved it.
Probably nobody understood my question. First, I have tried to attach file upload function (see "How To..load a flat file into BW-BPS using SAPGUI") to the same planning level where original planning layout with hierarchical structure in the key field already existed. But now I realized that it's impossible!
SOLUTION: It is necessary to build the file upload function at the separated planning level with the same structure as that in the uploaded file. No hierarchies allowed in the "Selection" tab of planning level !!
Such upload function operates perfectly in the planning folder where original layout with the hierarchical structure of key characteristic is presented. After the file upload you can perform all further activities in the planning folder (including that with uploaded data).
Thanks,
Yurij

Hierarchy in BW-BPS

Hello,
I have a hierarchy in BW (made of characteristics nodes) and i want to use that hierarchy in BW-BPS. But in BPS this hierarchy become one node hierarchy:
in BW:
Total
.A
...1
...2
...3
.B
...2
.....22
...3
...4
.....41
in BPS
Total
. A
.1
.2
.3
.B
.2
.22
.3
.4
.41
What i have to do that in BPS i can see the same hierarchy layout like in BW?
Thanks in advance.

Arunas Stonys

Hello, Srini,
In BPS layout i select Hierarchical Data Model. When i select Hierarchy Type BW Hierarchy with postable nodes i see a plain text, not ahierarchy, but when i select BPS Characteristic Hierarchies the resul is like i wrote in the first message.
Mayby may hierarchy is wrong. In Bex my hierarchy looks fine.
Thanks for Your help.

BPS Performance when reading a hierarchy

Hi,
We have created planning levels with a selection on a cost center hierarchy node (included in a variable). Under this level, planning layouts use the characteristic cost center as a lead column.
When we execute one of these layouts (in the Gui with an Excel interface or an ALV interface) the layouts takes at least 3 minutes to open even if it only includes about 1000 records.
Is there any way to improve this performance ?
If we create an exit variable which reads the hierarchy and list the cost centers, the performance is not improved.
The cost center hierarchy read is about 15,000 cost centers in total, but only a few hundreds are included in the nodes we select.
Thanks for any help.

Hello David,
BPS has to resolve the hierarchy nodes into single values. For big hierarchies this can take quite a while (especially if the base characteristic is compounded as in this case).
Try to build an alternative hierarchy that contains only the nodes you need in BPS.
Also - as in any case - do a performance analysis. Where are the 3 minutes really being spent? BW data selection, BPS layout, variables, etc. Please check the BPS Performance Guide for mode information. SAP Service Marketplace > Quicklink BW > SAP BW BPS > Performance.

BPS distribution over the big hierarchy

Hi,
I need to make a distribution based on the CostCenter hierarchy.
In BPS application user post values on the level of CostCenter and on upper nodes level (postable nodes in hierarchy).
- Values posted on CostCenter should be summarized up in the nodes levels.
- Values posted on the node level should be distributed on the CostCenter level.
Distribution should use all hierarchy relation for distribution rules (sender-receiver).
How to do this? I do not want to specify those rules, they are already specified in the hierarchy. Could you propose the ethe right approach for this.
Thanks, Tom

Ok do a authorisation roles based on node so that who ever has the role for that node will have access to the costcenter under it.

BPS External Hierarchy with Postible Nodes

Hi,
I am using External Hierachy (more than 2 levels) in BW and Characteristic relationship between Account and Account Group in BPS. Account group is an attribute on Account. I have included the Account Group in the Planning Level. On the layout Account Group and acct are in the lead columns respectively. As defined in How to ... Hierarchies in Several Characteristics document.
Everything works fine but it shows nodes only upto two levels in the hierarchy. If the hierarchy contains more than two levels....it only shows two levels. On the how to document, example is for two level hier.
I want to know why it is not showing more than two levels as defined in the external hierachy.
Has anybody come across with the same situation and is there a way to show more than two levels???
Thanks in advance,
Anil

Hi Anil,
Welcome to SDN.
The reason why you are able to see only two levels is because you have just two Characteristics used in the hierarchy structure i.e. Account and Account group.
Please note the conditions mentioned in the How To document in section 2.2 which lists down the restrictions.
"For a given level in the hierarchy, every node/leaf must belong to the some characteristic, and no two levels can use the same characteristic."
What I understand from this is that the hierarchy would only display Characteristic nodes and not Text Nodes.
So if you had 3 InfoObjects like
Chart of Accounts
Account Group
Account
I believe you would be able to get three levels in the same.
Hope it helps.
Cheers

BPS Security with Compounded Hierarchy

In the Cost Center Hierarchy, cost centers have 14 digits, namely 10 digits for cost center, and 4 for controlling area.
Implementing the white paper to upload user-specific variable values, I find it not possible to update specific cost center values for individual users, since cost centers take 10 digits only, but the hierarchy is looking for 14.
I tried to add 0CO_AREA to the flat file:
USER HIECHA NODENAME DUMMY_LEAF 0CO_AREA
AJOHN 0COSTCENTER 0000001155 X 1000
However, it still does not get into BPS correctly. What am I missing?
