CALC property for entity dimension

I have a entity US01 which is located at the base level of my entity hierarchy, when I choose this entity in the CV of my input schedule, it allow me to input data, it also pass the validation, but when I click the send active worksheet, I get the error message
"It is a calculated member.US01"; while I have another entity member US02 which is at the same level with US01, it works ok if I choose that one,
If I understand correctly,the system generated property CALC should be 'N' if the member is located at the base level, if this is the case how could I get this error message?
Thanks

Hello,
There are only three possibilities that the CALC property is set to "Y" by the system:
1. Member is a parent level member (has children)
2. Member has a formula defined in the "FORMULA" property of the dimension
3. Member is references in an MDX statement in the default logic, like in the following example (sets reporting currencies as calculated)
*FOR %CURR%=%REPORTING_CURRENCIES%
[CURRENCYDIM].[#%CURR%]=null
*NEXT

Year property for category dimension

Since year property is the Required Properties for Category Dimensions, if I need to have actual and budget for multiple year, is this mean that I need to create id for every year?
Like following:
ID                            year
actual_2010           2010
actual 2011            2011
budget_2010          2010
budget_2011          2011

Hi,
Actually, maintenance of the category dimension is an admin activity. The admin has to change the year value every year. This is similar to the Time dimension. Every year, the admin has to add members for that particular year. Its just once in a year.
Hope this helps.

Mass Allocate function and Entity Dimension. Special treatment?

Hello all,
We're having an issue with mass allocate and the entity dimension, but we are not sure if that is the expected behavior or we have another sort of problem.
We are trying to use the mass allocate function in a Planning web form, using proportional spread. Have tested it across several dimensions (both custom and default) and in all of them it works the way we expect to: It increases existing values in proportion to the target values.
However, when it spreads form superior to inferior levels in entity dimension, it is another story. It spreads evenly across all the members, doesn't care if target has missing or has a value. I have tried looking at the code it generates, but I'm not able to spot why it behaves like this. I have read the documentation but do not find any reference to this.
Is this a expected behavior or do we have a problem with some property on entity dimension?
Needless to say, it is the first time we try to use mass allocate.
We are using planning 11.1.1.3
Thanks in advance for you help.

Error while processing ENTITY dimension

Hi Experts,
I am on BPC 7.5NW version.
I have 6 hierarchies defined for ENTITY dimension.
I have created the structure in an excel and now I am coping it into Entity dimension for each column one by one.
I copied ID, Description and PARENTH1 in ENTITY dimension and processed it. It worked fine.
When I copied PARENTH2 from excel to ENTITY dimension and tried to process it, it gave me following errors -
Base member 'INDIAREG' cannot be the parent of 'UBCITY' in PARENTH1
Base member 'BURUKWS' cannot be the parent of 'MUKSA' in PARENTH1
Could you please let me know how to resolve the issue?

Regarding Entity Dimension in Planning

Hi All,
We have created one application with X as Entity dimension, now the requirement is we need to change Y as Entity dimension here Y is custom dimension in Planning.
Is there any simple way to tag Y as Entity ?
Thanks in advance.

Sravan Kumar.

This sounds exactly like this post yesterday :- Changing the property of Entity dimension
Are you sure you are not the same person :)

Not able to delete any Entity Dimension members

Hi All,
I am trying to delete some Entity Dimension members but its not allowing me to delete. This problem is only for Entity Dimension.
I can edit Entity member name or properties successfully but not able to delete or move the position.
I also tried to check member usage but its not giving me any results, a blank screen comes and planning goes down after some time. Same happens when I try to delete any Entity member.
I have admin rights on Planning and I can delete other dimension member but not for Entity. There is no workflow started for Entity but If it is than also it pop-ups that after member deletion all planning unit will be lost. I have bounced planning DB and also restarted all Hyperion services but still no luck.
Please let me know if anyone has faced this issue or have any solution to resolve.
Regards
Vishal

Hi John,
After uncheck of "enabled for process management" for all Scenario along with Version dimension members , this issue is now resolved. But its a temporary resolution as client has not yet started any workflow so we can uncheck that options ,but when they need to start workflow process then we have to check this options again which will start this issue again.
Do you have any permamant resolution for this issue?
Thanks for your help.

Data not rolling up of a dynamic calc member for a particular entity

Hi,
In my planning application data is not rolling up of a dynamic calc member for a particular entity whereas it is working fine for other entity.
Please find below the sample Smartview Retrieve
----------------Member_ALL---Member_None---Member Top---Member_ALL---Member_None---Member Top
----------------Entity 1----------Entity 1------------Entity 1----------Entity 2----------Entity 2------------Entity 2
Acc1------------100----------------#--------------------#---------------122---------------#-------------------122
NOTE: # denotes missing
Member_ALL and Member_None are children of Member_Top. Both Member_ALL and Member_Top are Dynamic Calc whereas Member_None is Store.
As shown above data is rolling upto Member Top for entity 2 while it is not getting rolled up for Entity 1.
Request you to please help in finding the error.
Thanks in Advance'
Joseph

Hi Joseph,
Is Acct 1 Dynamic Calc? In that case will it NOT calculate the combination MemberTop->Entity1 as Member_ALL->Entity1 + Member_None->Entity1.
I beleive it'll calculate the Acct1 member again for Member Top based on the dynamic formula (whatever the logic). If you make it Acct1 Stored, then the aggregation will be correct by first calculating and storing the Acct1 member and then AGG the Member dimension.

No owner property specified for a dimensions - Work Status

Hi to all,
I have a problem. I am configurating a work status. I have specified my work states, I have created the property "OWNER" in the memberset of the dimension that I want to be the owner one and I have specified the user which is going to be the owner of the members, but when I go to the workstatus matrix inside an application, the system tells me that ther's no owner property in that dimension. But in fact ther is. Does someone have any idea?
Thanx
Oscar

Hi Sheldon,
Than for your answer. Regarding the ideas:
Q1: I have process and saved the dimension that contains the owner.
Q2: Which kind of hierarchy are you talking about? I set in application parameters the Approval Org to H1, and in the members set of the owner dimension, I specified my user as a owner of some properies, so that six porperties have only one father, my user, the owner.
Shall I change something?

Allocation of Cost based on Match for 2 Dimensions

Hi Experts,
We are running an allocation where we assign an expense account balance (transportation costs) based on the combination of the dimensions entity and country. Please see the attached for a full example.
A brief example:
ORIGINAL DATA
Entity: Country AI Units (Currency)
1120 Holland AI_01 50
1120 Holland AI_03 30
1120 France AI_02 10
PRICING DATA
Entity: Country USD
1120 Holland 8
1120 France 10
DESIRED RESULT
1120 Holland AI_01 (50*8)=400
1120 Holland AI_03 (30*8)=240
1120 France AI_02 ((10*10)=100
ACTUAL RESULT
1120 Holland AI_01 (50+30) *8=640
1120 Holland AI_03 (50+ 30)*8=640
The original data is multiplied by a "pricing table" data that resides in a statistical account with similar dimensions for Entity and Country. Based on the match between Entity and Country between the data and country we assign the cost.
Issue is that other dimensions e.g. AI or other should be ignored for this calculation and the postings occur as they were originally. However the actual result based on the script below is duplicating data
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Eyal Feiler
SCRIPT USED
*RUNALLOCATION
*FACTOR=USING*1
*DIM CURRENCY WHAT=KL_Q ; WHERE=USD; USING=USD;
*DIM COUNTRY WHAT=[ALLOCATION]="y" ; WHERE=<<<; USING=<<<;

*DIM ACCOUNT WHAT=411113; WHERE=612313; USING=411113;

*ENDALLOCATION

Vadim,
Again as before this helped us greatly!
Another question if I may:
2) The next step of the calculation is after we search for a price
based on the entity/country match, if one is not found we go to a second
pricing table and select based entity and property of the country (e.g. a
region) that has a new price.
This means that we could have a conflict between the 2 tables. e.g.
in the first table we find a match between Entity and country = France or
country = Holland.
Now when there's an entry = Greece there's no match in table 1 and
we go to table 2 to select the Europe price.
Europe price will now override the first 2 rows from table 1. How can we build this?
One thought is to first perform the select on table 2 (region) and
then override with (table 1) only where it's found?
Thoughts?
Thanks
Eyal

Subtract from Parent in Entity dimension

Hi all
I am currently implementing SAP BPC project to replace Hyperion Enterprise. There is an option in Hyperion Enterprise in Entity dimension where you can specify an entity (child or parent node) to be subtracted from its parent rather than the natural way of adding in SAP BPC. I know in SAP BPC, the natural way the hierarchy works is that all the base level nodes are added to its parent level which in turn are added to its parent level and so on and so forth.
I was wondering if there is a way to accommodate "Subtract from parent" functionality of Hyperion Enterprise in SAP BPC. One way I can think of is to write a script logic to multiply the numbers submitted to that entity by -1 which will make sure that we are subtracting this entity while rolling up.
Does anyone know of a better way?
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Ameya Kulkarni

Exactly as Tim says, there's a member property you can add (called UNARYOPERATOR, must use that name, inApp, length 1) that takes a value of one of the following:
+    (this adds up the member to its parent -- same as if you didn't add this property)
-     (subtracts this member from its siblings, in computing the parent)
*     (multiplies it)
/     (divides it)
~    (ignores this member)
I've never used multiply or divide. The tilde is helpful for skipping the NBV accounts from the fixed assets on the balance sheet, where you can't double-count the original book less accum depreciation, AND the NBV. But every chart of accounts has all those accounts in there.
This property should probably work in any dimension with a hierarchy. Or almost any -- I'd be surprised if Time would be able to multiply October times November??? But anyway for simple stuff, it should work.
Or you can use a member formula on the parent, which would be
OtherChild1 + OtherChild2 - SpecialChosenChild
A script logic approach will also work, but it means a lot of extra calculations and data, which you should avoid if possible. I think to get the results you want, you'd follow Tim's approach, except the logic needs to post a factor of -2 (not -1) to the shadow member, to get a net result of a negative impact on the parent. A factor of -1 would give a net result of zero.
Hopefully the unaryoperator or formulaH1 will work.

Alias for custom dimensions

We are trying to display aliases for some of our custom dimensions in an oracle table.
So far, bringing in aliases for standard dimensions has been a breeze-from the HSP_OBJECT table.(Since the member name and alias name have consequential object id's).
But for the custom dimension and it alias, there seems to be no easy connecting factor.(when the members are 'Level 0', they seem to follow an order-but not otherwise). I even tried looking it up using the HSP_ALIAS table.
Does anybody have any suggestions?

In FDM the Default LOAD Action generates a FIX statement in Essbase to clear the intersection of Category, Period and Entity. This section has to be modified for each client to include other Dimensions you don't want to clear with you load. I added the Year to the code already. I have to add additional UDs to the FIX statement UD1 and UD2 and am not sure how to do this.
Dim strDimNameUD1
Dim strDimNameUD2
strEntity = ""
strCurEnt = ""
Do While Not objFRead.AtEndOfStream
strLineRead = objFRead.ReadLine
strCurEnt = DW.Utilities.fParseString(CStr(strLineRead), CInt(intFldCount), CInt(intEntityFld), " ")
'Check to see if we're on the first line. If so we must calc the first entity
If strEntity = "" Then
strEntity = strCurEnt
bolFirstLine = RES.FDMTrue
End If
If strEntity <> strCurEnt Or bolFirstLine = RES.FDMTrue Then
strTargYear = API.POVMgr.fPeriodKey(CStr(strPer(0))).strTargetYear
strDimNameUD1 = API.strDimNameUD1
strDimNameUD2 = API.strDimNameUD2

Change the entity dimension?

I have situation with a sales reporting application. Business rules have changed and any company can sell to any customer - this results in a problem with the fx stored in the entity dimension (currently Customer) as the companies have different currencies. I thought about adding a new entity dimension called Company (and calculating fx based on the company), and changing the existing Customer entity to be a user defined dimension.
Has anyone ever had to do anything like this before? This doesn't seem to be an easy change... I really don't want to rebuild the application and redo all security (neither of these dimensions are secured). Any ideas/thoughts would be very much appreciated.

I was able to figure out how to do this without rebuilding the application and redoing security. Steps are below in case anyone else runs into this problem:
1.     Create new entity dimension called u201CCompanyu201D in application set
2.     Assign one member rolling up to a parent
a.     i.e. NO_COMPANY rolls up to TOT_COMPANY
3.     modify SQL table tbl.Dimension for DimName Customer
a.     change EVDimType from E to U
b.     remove RefDim
c.     assign DimIndex (in only the cube rows)
4.     If necessary copy SQL member table to Admin front end
5.     Save to server and process dimension
6.     Modify application to include new Company dimension
7.     Process Company dimension
8.     Add SCALING property to Customer dimension
9.     Remove RPTCURRENCY property from Customer dimension
10.     Process Customer dimension
11.     Change System_Constants.LGT files to reflect Company as the entity dim

Entity dimension error.

Hi All,
I deleted Entity dimension and added one more dimension with different name but type as Entoty dimension.
But after the removal of Entity dimension I am getting the following error. Can anyone please tell me what should I do to remove this.
"The 'Entity' dimension has been removed or deleted since the first successful deployment of the application. This application type does not support the deletion of this dimension after deployment. Please re-add the deleted dimension."

You can rename the dimension that is to be deployed.
You will always see "Entity" in EPMA, but as a property for the member you can change what the name will be as it is deployed.
Sorry I don't have EPMA in front of me right now so I can't tell you exactly where it is, but it is one of the properties of the member.
