Changing BPC Data Directly in BW

Hi Experts,
We would like to perform a calculation using BW rather than BPC.
The adjustment would occur recording a separate AuditID (datasource ID) to record a trail of the changes.
Issue is that we are using BW tools e.g. transformations or other to change a BPC consolidation cube.
We already went through the process (unsuccessfully) of trying to perform the adjustment in BPC via ABC or Script Logic.
Changes to config would have to be done via a BW resource rather than a Finance administrator.
Any thoughts re changing data in this manner?
Thanks

Hi,
It is not advisable to change the data from Back end.
While you are doing this step you have to Change Real Time load behaviour from Data loading not allowed to Planning not allowed. During this process users can not key in/ change any data from BPC Excel/Web.
Moreover system will not capture Audit log for those changes directly doing form back end and need to maintain separate set of access roles ( related to BW actions) for users.
In your case if Script does not work then try BADI ( what you can achieve through transformation can also be done using BADI).
Hope it helps...
regards,
Raju

Load transaction data from R3 (FI, CO, HR, MM...) to BPC 10 directly

Hi everyone,
Anyone know if is it possible to load transaction data from ECC (FI, CO, HR, MM...) to BPC 10 directly? There is a documment titled "How to Implement Delta Loading of Transaction Data from ECC and BW 7.3 into BPC using Delta Initialization in BPC 10NW" but only refers to load data from BW.
Thanks&Regards,
Fernando.

Hi Fernando,
BPC NW 10.0 has DM packages that allow load of Master and Transaction data directly from ECC system, but it's very limited. I.e. just a couple extractors are supported right now.

Change master data of business consolidation directly in the quality system

Dear All,
I need to change master data of business consolidation directly in the quality system.
Anyone an idea?
Kind regards,
Marilia

Welcome to SDN.
There are SAP Notes 933024, 804057 and 592239 that provide a means of opening UCWB only for master data objects.
Another possible work around is to make the updates in BW and use the synchronization programs UGMDSYNC and UGMDSY20. However for FS Items and Cons Groups all of the master data elements such as breakdown category and period of first consolidation are not available for entry in BW so for these characteristics the maintenance must still be completed in UCWB.

Changing data directly in employee user details / who's who

Using: EP7, MSAD
Hi all,
I would like to know whether it is possible to add a modify button within the user details window (who's who) for changing data directly and not to change to a different location within the enterprise portal.
if yes, how can I do that? Is it also possible to modify different fields depending on the department of the user who wants to change a profile?
Thanks in advance
Michael

I think you'd need to write a brand new who's who for this...

Can you change the date sort direction in Photos?

In iPhoto I had my events sorted by date such that the most recent events came first (at the top) and within the events ordered the other way round, i.e. earlier photos at the top of an event. Can you control the sort order of events in the new Photos app to this degree?
At the moment when I look at the events album that has been imported I can only seem to have the events sorted by name or in date order with the older events at the top.
NB - Does anyone else think "Photos" is a really dumb name for the app when you consider trying to use any search engine to find information about it?

when i changed the date forward.... like 20 years forward, it locked and i have to activate it but i cant :S

How can I change the date of birth on my child's Apple ID?

HI,
My son's school have started an initiative where they use iPads as part of their lessons, and subsequently my son has a brand new iPad through the scheme.
The setup guide that the school supplied directed us to enter the parent's date of birth and the student's name to set up an Apple ID. However, since setting his iPad up we have become aware of Family Sharing when we setup our old iPad for his younger brother, and the ability to create an Apple ID for a child. We would obviously like the same level of protection and security for both children, not to mention restricting any accidental purchases!
Is there any way to change his date of birth from mine to his? I have read other similar posts with the best solutions apparently to fudge the date of birth so that the child is older than 13 years old. I would like to do this properly rather than lie about his age...
Thanks in advance

You can not change the date of birth on the account. You are explicitly told this when the account is created.
The ID you created is yours, not your son's. If your son is under 13, then to claim it is your son's ID is to say that you committed a crime when you created it. Create a new account for your son.
Inform the school that if they are instructing parents to do this because the children are under 13, they are potentially criminally liable. They should know better.

In IPhoto I changed movie dates after thumb nails were created in IMovie but the new dates are not showing up in IMovie. Is there someway to refresh the IPhoto event in IMovie?

Background: I'm transferring file folders from a Visa laptop via an external hard drive to my IMac. In the folders are photos and videos from different cameras. SO I first tried to import to IMovie but it would not recognize any of the files. So then I imported into IPhoto and both photos and videos were imported and I created events for each folder. When I first opened IMovie I had to wait for it to create "thumb nails". Then I could view the events in IMovie BUT the video clips are not together because they have vastly different dates and are mixed with videos from other events. I looked at the dates and said I can fix that in IPhoto which i did but those new dates are not showing up in IMovie. I think I need to somehow refresh the event data that Imovie is using but have not found how to do that in either IPhoto or IMovie.
I'm doing this on three events with about 100 photos and videos. But I have many 1000s more to do so need to know how to either fix this or delete these events, reimport, change the dates, then open again in IMovie. I'm sure that would work but I can't understand why changing the dates in IPhoto is not being reflected in IMovie.
Appreciate any tips or pointers.
OBTW this is my first question as a first time Apple owner.

It was suggested I move this question to IPhoto or IMovie which I did.
Well moving to a different discussion group did not provide an answer to this question either. But what I finally did was import one batch of photos and videos into IPhoto for a given day at a time. Working with these I could change the date and times in order to get them in the original sequench taken. Then I would create an album with that batch. These would all be on the same day (IMove was closed for this phase). Then I would open IMovie, generate the thumbnails for that album, and select the album I had created. This was necessary because the importing process in IPhoto was using incorrect dates for my video so it was a real struggle finding them in IMove until I developed this approach.
I believe that this whole process was so screwy because I was importing from an external hard drive not a camera. I had these photos on a PC and did not have the original cameras to use to import directly which I am fairly sure would have made this easier!

I changed my data plan from 6g to 8g while my daughter who attends college outside of the US at Toronto Canada (and we have on a international calling and international data plan) was on spring break at her grandparents house here in the US. I made the change online since I had been waiting on the phone for over 10 minutes for a customer service rep to come available. Well when I made the change online since that seems to be the thing that Verizon wants it's customers to do and I didn't see all the different plans available and just did the upgrade to 8g. Next bill had over $900 in roaming charges on her phone line. I called the 1-800 number and waiting for a service rep and after 20 minutes of waiting and being put on hold was told it was the customers mistake and there was nothing they could do.Thanks for nothing. I called back after thinking about it and wondered why changing a data plan for the phones in the US would change a international call plan. Waiting over 10 minutes again between waiting for a service rep and hold for one to answer the call. Gave her all the information about it and she said she would call back. Well, 4 days later over the weekend she had nevered called back. So on the phone again for the third time and after 20 plus minutes again was told that when I did it online I click the plan that didn't include international call only the data plan. Explained that I never saw the difference in the plan packages so put on hold again and was told that they could credit $100 to my bill. Wow, thanks alot !!! We have been Verizon customers for probably atleast 12 years and this is how you treat your long term customers?

Want to change billing date but computer says no

My billing date for phone and broadband is the 6th of the month, with payment being taken around the 20th, which has been fine up until now. However my employer has now changed my salary payment date and I'd like to change the bolling date so that the payment isn't taken until after the 1st.
Firstly, why is it seemingly impossible to email anyone to ask about this? All the "contact us" links just take you back to a phone number and I'm at work during the non-automated times so it's not easy for me to make a call.
Anyway, make a call I did, spoke to somebody in the call centre, tried explaining the situation, but they only seemed to hear the "change billing date" part and didn't seem the least bit interested in the whys and wherefores, then it was just a case of "computer says no, is there anything else I can help you with"
I can't see why this is such a big problem. It's not like I'm asking not to pay or anything, I know that the first bill after I changed dates would be higher, because it would cover an extra couple of weeks, but I don't see why it's beyond the realms of possibility to put the bill date a couple of weeks.
I managed it with my mortgage, which is considerably higher than my BT bill
A quick email to the mortgage company, had a letter back a couple of days later confirming the payment date had been changed and the first payment on the new date would be an extra £xxx to cover the difference, all sorted no problem. Why do BT make things so difficult?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Try as I might, there seemed to be absolutely no option to change "whole bill direct debit" so I can't quite see how you can do it online, the only option I could see was to set up a DD, but I've already got one.
Anyway, all sorted now, thanks to a 5 minute online chat. I'm now swtiched to a MPP, which is for give or take a few pence, exactly the same as my monthly bills have been and instead of my next payment being taken on the 20th of this month, it's now going to be taken on the 2nd of next month and every month thereafter, which is exactly what I wanted to do.
Quite what the difference between whole bill monthly and MPP, I'm not quite sure but it's sorted

Changing creation date on adobe acrobat 9

I've got a folder full of old PDF files at work. They are all labeled DD-MM-YY to signify the date they were made but the pdf's were originally in Word format and when they were all converted to PDF's, they all took that day as their created date. I'm looking for a way to change the created date on these hundreds of PDF's to match the date in the file name. Is there an easy way to do this? I have to print the documents and organize them chronologically by date. However, I need to also have corresponding creation dates with the documents. I'm not good with scripting or programming however I am great at following step by step directions. I would greatly appreciate help on this since this is a semi time sensitive project.
Thank you.

Acrobat does not offer any way to change creation date. It is correct: by definition, it is the day when the PDF was made, it is not supposed to be set to a different date that might be more convenient.

VBA:comboboxes to present same date in different formats...ADAPT WITH CHANGE IN DATE

Hi all,
I'm very new to VBA and excel development, so please take that into consideration as you read on.
I'm trying to create a work form for a database that (should) collect various information in comboboxes, including the date, the weekday, and the month... Note: most of the time, the data will be inserted the day after it's been collected. So, I wanted to create
one combobox for the date, one for the weekday, and one for the month, because I want columns for each of these in the database (If this is not necessary/efficient, please help! :) ) .
Here's what I've got so far:
'worksheet setup
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Worksheets("LookupList")
'Date dropdown setup
Dim cDateToday As Range
For Each cDateToday In ws.Range("DateList")
With Me.cboDate
.AddItem cDateToday.Value
End With
Next cDateToday
'If today is Monday, then set date to last friday, if any other weekday, set it to day before that
If Weekday(Date - 1) <> 2 Then
Me.cboDate.Value = Format(DateAdd("D", -Weekday(Date) - 1, Date), "Medium Date")
Else
Me.cboDate.Value = Format(Date - 1, "Medium Date")
End If
Problem #1: Right now, I am getting the date values from the list
DateList in the worksheet LookupList...is there a better way of doing this?
Problem #2: When the user form is run, the correct date and format shows up. However, if I change the date, the dropdown list in the combobox starts from the initial date in given list...is there anyway to bring the list closer to the current
date? Think Calendar View
Problem #3: I want the weekday and month values to be directly correlated to the date value discussed above, so hypothetically when the user form is run the correct date, weekday, and month all show up (based on the same date value), then if
I change the date, the weekday and month automatically update. Is this possible, if so how?
The reason I want this functionality is so that on a Monday, I can run the work form and it will automatically have Friday's date, weekday, month info as it opens. When I'm done with Friday, I can run it again, switch the date to the Saturday's
date (weekday and month automatically update), then repeat for Sunday.
I have tried running the same code for the weekday and month as I have for the date, and they work
until the date is changed. Once the date is changed, I have to manually change the weekday, which leads to format change, and same for month, which all leads to :( and confusion
Again, I am very new to vba and don't know much about it all and appreciate any/all help!
Thanks in advance!
/Alex

I can give you a little advice but I don't understand your comment "if I change the date, the weekday and month automatically update" Where do you want them to update?
I am assuming that your entire question is referring to a Userform with the Combobox. Is this correct?
The code can be much simpler to populate the combobox list. You already have a named range for the Dates so you can use that directly to populate the RowSource. (RowSource if the combox is on a Userform or ListFillRange for a combobox on a worksheet).
Then the WorksheetFunction Workday can be used to get the previous workday without weekend days. It also looks after the previous day when the actual date is mid week. Look up the function on the worksheet Help because you can also have a separate list
of holidays that will be excluded like weekend days.
If you are new to VBA then a tip about Help. You need to be on the worksheet and click Help to get worksheet help and in the VBA editor you click Help to call the VBA help. Don't just select Help off the taskbar when changing between the worksheet and VBA
because you will finish up with the incorrect Help file.
Example of code to assign a named range to the RowSource of a ComboBox. Named range needs to be Global and not scoped to a worksheet otherwise the worksheet name is also required.
    Me.cboDate.RowSource = "DateList"
Example of code to assign the previous workday to the combobox value.
    'Following line sets value to previous workday (Mon to Friday)
    Me.cboDate.Value = WorksheetFunction.WorkDay(Date, -1)
Then there is another problem with ComboBoxes and dates. If the Dates are real dates on the worksheet (Not Text) then the dropdown list displays in the same format as the worksheet but when the date is selected, it displays as a serial number. This
can also be rectified with code but first I need to know what the format of the data is on the worksheet.
Can you upload a copy of your workbook because it is like a picture is worth a thousand words. Same goes for having a copy of the workbook. If it has sensitive data then create a copy and remove the sensitive data.

How to change order data in APO

Hi,
I am keen to know on ways to change order data in APO say order category BI.....we want to change date by taking input from cif user exit APOCF006.We need this information for the ongoing project.
I know two options...1) using BAPIs 2) Not very sure about this option ...Function Module:/SAPAPO/OMORDER*CHANGE.
Could you please help to have better understanding on ways to change orders in APO?
Thank you

Hello Rishi,
Thanks for your reply.
Demand node ofr purchase Ordre( BF) in SNP is Conrel( BI category). We want to change date( start date) at this demand node . We will get this date from R3 using say non cif method.
There are few ways to do it....
1) If we ignore Menas of Transport( so essentially transit time or lead time in tlane) in that purchase order and change this requirement date directly using purchase order save BAPI( requirement node) ......Question will system allow us to do so and even if it allows us to do so will it casue some problem( inconsistencies) later?
2) Second option I am thinking is...
For one product we maiantain GR processing time in product location master and this is considered while determining strat date of BI (Start date= Delivery date -GR procesisng time- means of Transport lead time - some other times ....). For this product let's say we have 100 Purchase Orders (BF). We have requirement that each of these POs should get separate treatment while calculating Start date. It means start date can be different for different POs and once we change it forcibly then it shoulkd not change unless we again change it forcibly.
We are thinking to change GR processing time at runtime wheneveer Purchase Order is changed. So if GR time in product location master is 1 day ....for different Purchase Orders different GR processing time can be considered. Say for Po1...its 2 day...for P2 its 4 day.
Or similar way we can change transit time as given in means of transport in tlanes.
Will appreciate your or anyone's comment
Thank you

Significance of Pay Date,Direct Deposit,Pay Advice and Cut-Off

Hello,
Can somebody please tell me how the number of days mentioned against Pay Date,Direct Deposit,Pay Advice and Cut-Off play a role in the payroll processing?
Eg:Direct Deposit of -3 from the end of the month that ie. 28th Jan if it is month of Jan.
Regards,
Gayatri

In the Date Offset region, you can change the zero default to a negative or positive number of days before or after the period end date. For example, for a semi-monthly payroll, the Cut Off date can be 3 days before the period end date (-3), while the Scheduled Run and Check dates can be 5 and 7 days after this date, respectively.
The Check Date, sometimes called Pay Date, is the date of constructive receipt of pay, on which paychecks become negotiable.
The Scheduled Run Date is the date scheduled for the Regular run of this payroll each period.
The Cut Off date, included for your reference, is the final date for entering or changing payroll information before a run.
These offsets are the defaults for the calendar. You can manually make date changes in the calendar, for example when an offset date falls on a weekend or holiday, by choosing the Period Dates button.
Hope this will help!

Macro for exporting data to a BPC Data File

Hi,
My requirement is if in an Input Schedule, I can write a macro on a button click that takes the data from the input schedule cell range and exports it to a Data file at the BPC Data File path. Please note, while exporting, the data is to be overwritten and not appended, i.e. every time I export the Data file should be replaced with new data.
Does anyone have sample code for writing such a macro ?
Environment: SAP BPC 7.5 NW
Cheers,
Nitin

Hi Vladim,
The requirement is to allow the user to enter Account Type and Rate Type property values for certain nodes in the Dimension.
Since these values are not coming from BW, we need to maintain in conversion files while uploading the master data.
However, we need to do away with the manual maintenance of the conversion files and find a way to update these properties directly.
One way I thought was to create an Input Schedule (IS), the user enters the account no and rate/account type and clicks a button. This button
1. Exports this data to a Data File, and then a
2. Data manager package is called to import the data file.
Point 2 is doable, but im trying to figure out the step 1.
Since we do not have an FTP location hence won't be able to utilise your method.
Cheers,
Nitin

Newby question on changing columnar data

If I want to change values in, say, the genre column from what was automatically added when the CD was imported, is there a way to change several at a time rather than one at a time.
For instance 'Sound track' was a value I wanted to change to 'Musical'. Every track from the album had that value.

Hi Snags40,
When you open iTunes, you should be able to select all of the songs (if they are in sequence) by holding down the shift key and going from the first song to the last song. Then key in Apple-I and it will ask if you want to change the data for all of the songs - yes. Then you can change the data.
If you want to select certain songs not in sequential order, select the songs while holding down the Apple key and follow the directions above on changing the data.
Hope this helps!
