CHAR RELATIONSHIP error in SEM BPS planning sequence

Hi,
I'm executing a planning sequence with 2 planning functions.
1st being "Exit funciton" & 2nd being "Repost funciton".
I've a "characteristic relationship of type attribute" defined at the planning area level.
Am getting CHAR RELATIONSHIP check error when am executing this sequence.
EXIT function gives blank values for a characteristic that is used in "characteristic relationship".
But, REPOST function adjusts this blank characteristic value to actual value which will be correct when "CHARACTERISTIC RELATIONSHIP" is checked.
When I execute sequence, EXIT function gets executed & CHAR RELATIONSHIP errors are being displayed before "REPOST" function is being executed.
Is there any other approach to deal this scenario? like checking CHAR RELATIONSHIP after REPOST funciton execution?
I can execute REPOST funciton from "EXIT FUNCTION" using API_SEMBPS_FUNCTION_EXECUTE, but this doesn't suit my needs.
Please note that I've a need to use 2nd planning function rather deriving characteristic relationship from the EXIT function.
Appreciate any ideas/thoughts.

Hari,
each function must produce results that adhere to the rules specified as characteristic relationships. BPS will always execute the char.relationships after the exit function. You might be able to avoid this by adjusting the characteristics in your planning level.
Calling another function (like REPOST) from within an exit is not possible since BPS needs to finish processing the exit first, before it can run the repost.

No Authorization error in executing a planning sequence

Hi,
We are using BI 7.0 Integrated Planning.
We have implemented Mark Bernaud's file upload solution. We have used a planning sequence that uploads the file and stores it in a cube. Using it, we are able to upload files without any problem when executing with a SAP User Id which has all the authorizations (the user id has SAP_ALL specified in its list of profiles). Now, we have a requirement where we need to execute the file upload using a user id which has limited authorizations. When we are trying to execute the file upload with the userid that has limited authorizations, we are getting the following authorization error.
'You are not authorized to execute sequence PL_SEQ_FL_UPLOAD'
where PL_SEQ_FL_UPLOAD is the name of planning sequence we are using. We have also included the authorization variable in the filters being used as suggested in one of the blogs but this didn't help.
Could anyone please let us know the authorization objects to be added to the user id to enable access to this file upload.
Many Thanks,
Narendra.

Thank you very much Diogo,
The objects you suggested were already there. We have successfully traced the error by switching on the trace using ST01. We found the reason for the error to be that display authorization is not provided for S_RS_PLSQ whereas execute authorization is already present for that.
Once again thanks Diogo.
Many Thanks,
Narendra

SEM BPS - Planning function to distribute total value over months

Hello,
We use SEM BPS. In fact we use the integration of SEM BPS in the CRM opportunity component as opportunity planning.
Now we want to distribute the total value of certain key figures over the months. Either equal distribution or increasing distribution like 1% increase every month. What would be the best way to do that with a planning function?
We need to take into account that the number of months depends on the start and end date of the transaction (opportunity).
Best regards,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
I would probably create a fox formula, do a foreach in selection loop over the months and distribute the values within that formula.
If you want to use a standard distribution function, you need to create the reference data somewhere before, which could be a bit difficult if the timeframe changes according to user selections.
regards
Cornelia

ERROR in BPS Planning layout

Anyone got a clue??
We have characterstic txt. values exceeding 20 characters - resulting in an error in the BPS planning layout: Characteristic value not valid.
The planning layout only takes 20 characters - need it to take more - we have characteristic values with 30 char length. What can we do?
John

Hi Mike,
Thank U for your response - The masterdata is maintained and the planning layout in question has been working before. We just recently upgraded to BW 3.5 and then masterdata characteristics with value exeeding 20 characters the planning layout does not recognize. This results in an invalid error statement.
Is there a SAP Note that can handle this or do I have to make an OSS?

Error in planning sequence- 'Cannot generate combinations of multiprovider'

Hi Gurus,
                   I am facing a problem while executing my planning sequence in modeller. Aggregation level contains all characteristics in multiprovider. Multiprovider contains actual and planned cubes. Filter is based on product name in modeller. Planning function is copy. Characteristics to be changed in calyear. But the error generated while executing planning sequence is
'To value - 1 for subprocess 1 produces following errors.
'Cannot generate combinations for multiprovider'

I would really appreciate the time and effort which will be taken by gurus.
Thanks in advance.

SEM-BPS code

Dear Friends,
Req: Varaible gets current or entered month value and the value of variable will be summed up till 012th month. It should not go > 12. Eg: Assum the entered value = 007 and the calculation goes 008, 009, 010, 011 & 012.
In order to fullfill the customer req. Iwe need to apply the below logic. We have done this code in SEM-BPS planning function.
DATA PER TYPE 0FISCPER3.
DATA FPER TYPE 0FISCPER3.
PER = VARV (YFROMPER).
DO.
FPER = PER + 001.
if PER > 001 AND PER <= 12.
YDPT_PRKG, PER} = {YDPT_PRKG, FPER}.
Else.
Exit.
Endif.
ENDDO.
But, this above code is not work as expected and it's executing infinite...Please look into the code and correct me if any syntex or logic issue.
Thanks in Advance for kind support.
Best Regards,
KS

Hey KS,
I'm assuming you've solved this already but if not . . .
Looking at the code below, you see to only hit the ELSE condition and hence exit if PER is not between 1 - 12. Yet you only increment FPER so PER never changes and this loop will run forever.
Might also want to increment the total:
{YDPT_PRKG, PER} = {YDPT_PRKG, PER} + {YDPT_PRKG, FPER}.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Dan

SEM-BPS 6.0 error message requested data cannot be locked but at 999 row?

Hi all,
We are using SEM-BPS with WIB and EP 7.0 and I encountered issues for the first time. I normally avoid configuring layouts with large hierarchies but at this one the client insisted. They are in testing right now and selection of relatively small node (approx. 10-20 cost centers) still gave us an error message.
I know layouts has a limit of 9,999 rows and we should have been okay since it is about 200-300 lines per cost center but we are getting the error message below and it mentioned a limit of 999 rows in the selection table.. Any way we can change that?
Thanks,
mary
Requested data cannot be locked (-> see long text)
Notification Number RSPLS092
Diagnosis
In order to edit data from InfoProvider 'ZYEE_C02', the requested data has to be locked exclusively for user 'YEESU01'. The data that is currently being requested is specified by a very large selection table. In order to lock the data exclusively, the system has to store a compressed version of this selection table on the SAP standard lock server. However, the compressed selection table still has more than 999 rows. So that a reasonable number of users are able to change data at the same time, the system limits the number of records allowed in a selection table to 999 records.
Information on Context of Lock Request:
Lock requests can come from BI-Planning or from BW-BPS. The context specifies the following information:
BI-Planning: for a lock request from a query, {Planning Function} for a lock request from a planning function.
BW-BPS: {Planning Area}{Planning Level}{Planning Package}{Planning Function}{Parameter Group}. For lock requests from manual planning the following is true: Planning function = '0-MP' and the parameter group is the technical name of the planning layout.
InfoProvider 'ZYEE_C02' is always a Basis InfoProvider. The current context information is:
'{0-ADHOC}{0-MP}'
System Response
The requested data cannot be locked.
Procedure
You can normally only avoid this by simplifying your selections. For more information, see the documentation on this.
Procedure for System Administration

Hi Mary,
in RSPLSE you use the option that the BI lock table is maintained in the SAP enqueue server. Here there is a limit - as explained in the long text of the message - that the compressed selection table for one enqueue request should not have more than 999 rows. This limit can not be changed.
The selection table seems to be very big, since the compression factor is at least 5. So please check your selection table:
1 check whether you can make the characteristic causing the problem not lock relevant
2 or use the second option that the BI lock table is maintained in a shared memory area of the central instance of the system.
But it is better to keep the selection tables small, e.g. by making some characteristics not lock relevant.
Check sizing note 928044, e.g. in case you want to use 2. The default setting is very small.
Regards,
Gregor

Issues with a program,that exetutes SEM BPS sequence, into a Process Chain

We have a process chain with a step which launches a program. That program executes a SEM BPS sequence. To set that request into green we have a step with other program which changes the planning cube to batch.
Our two problems are:
1) We cannot check in the process chain monitor if sequence finished all right because the step always finishes ok even if the sequence falls.
2) Our SEM BPS sequence takes a long time and the process chain continues its execution without SEM BPS sequence is ended.
Thanks a lot!
Mario

I am not sure if there is a solution to this in BW 3.x or SEM BPS. But if you can model the same planning sequence in BI-IP, then you can excute it in a process chain using a process chain variant.

Error in execute planning sequence variant in process chain

Hi ,
While creating an Execute planning sequence variant in process chain in Quality system , i am getting an error" variable variant not selected ' though i created a variable variant and selected it in execute planning seq variant.
Transporting it from development system didnt work therefore i am trying to create it directly in Quality .
Any idea what could be the issue.

Hi,
Variable variant can be saved for planning sequence in modeler and then cab be used in process chains.
In process chain you can choose "Execute planning sequence"( separate process type) and add planning sequence with variant.

Planning Sequence error - You do not have sufficient authorization

Hello Experts,
I am encountering the following error during execution of my planning sequence:
You do not have sufficient authorization
Message no. EYE007
Diagnosis
You do not have sufficient authorization for the requested data records.
Procedure
Either select other data or get the required authorizations from your administrator.
Can anyone please suggest me what could be the possible cause of this error and how can I overcome it?
Thanks in advance,
Nitish.
Edited by: Nitu_0105 on Jan 12, 2012 11:54 AM

Check the planning level on which planning sequence is based for values restriction.Looks like values for which it is been restricted you are not authorized or Roles assigned to you are not restricted with values in planning level.
Also check if level is been restricted with any variable on which authorization is been restricted.Some are user specific example specific business area are assigned to only some users ...so you need to add your user ID to those variable.

Function types for Balance Sheet Planning missing in SEM-BPS 6.0

Hi BPS experts,
After upgrading our BI-system from SEM 4.0 to SEM 6.0 (level 10) as part of the upgrade from BW 3.5 to BI 7.0 (level 15), the BPS function types for balance sheet planning are not available in the planning environment (Transaction code BPS0).
According to the SAP Library the balance sheet planning functions in SEM-BPS comprises of 6 standard function types - one of them is "Depreciation":
<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sem60/helpdata/en/0a/242537cedf2056e10000009b38f936/frameset.htm">help.sap.com -> Business Planning and Simulation (BW-BPS)</a>
Menu path: Business Planning Functions -> Functions for Balance Sheet Planning
In our existing SEM 4.0 we are using "Depreciation" and the functions based on this function type are of course short dumping when executed in our upgraded system (SEM 6.0) as the function type does not exist here.
Odd though - we do have the function type "Allocation" available in SEM 6.0, which should be delivered with SEM together with the Balance Sheet Planning function types (It is listed directly under "Business Planning Functions" in the SAP Library) .
I have tried to figure out whether we missed out on activating something during or after the system installation, but our basis consultant has not found anything in the installation guides related to this issue. Also I was wondering whether it could be a simple matter of activating some Business Content but without any luck.
Does anybody know why the Balance Sheet Function Types are not available in SEM-BPS 6.0?
Kind regards,
Lars

IP: Error in packaged planning sequence in process chain

Hi all,
We run a planning sequence from within a process chain. As the data transferred are quite a lot, we have packaged with setting "automatically" and with 30 packages to be built. Now the function returned (it ran already successfully before!) an error message stating:
Master cannot read return value from subprocess 2
and another error:
An error occurred with the maintenance of the query directory.
Do you have any idea what this could be?
Many thanks in advance,
Andreas

Hi Rakesh,
It's a BASIS problem. After transport during process chain activation, the background user tries to logon with the password and if it fails the chain will not be activated. The contents will be transported though. You can manually activate the chain. You can request the Basis guys to fix this.
