Characteristic in BPS layout

Hi all,
I need to insert a characteristic in BPS level but not in the layout, it's possible?
Thanks
Gianmarco

Thank you
another question please.
If I have a characteristic in multiplanning area but it is not in the level, can I use this characteristic in function with customer exit or formula?

Change Data in BPS Layout: Exit Function

Hello everyone,
We are using BW-BPS and we need to make a sort of a certain characteristic in a Planning Folder. In the specific Planning Folder it was defined an exit function and it was assigned a function module.
We implement the following code:
FUNCTION Z_ORDENAR_CLASSIFICACAO_PLANO.
""Interface local:

<ht_head> = xth_data.
LOOP AT <ht_head> ASSIGNING <ls_data>.
This is the characteristic that we pretend to sort
    l_sortfield = 'S_CHAS-0CMMT_ITEM'.
    SORT <ht_head>
      BY (l_sortfield) DESCENDING.
ENDLOOP.
<xth_data> = <ht_head>.
UNASSIGN: <ls_data>, <ht_head>.
ENDFUNCTION.
When execute this function, we get a DUMP (ASSIGN_TYPE_CONFLICT). Does anybody have any suggestion how to change a hash table or somehow make a sort in this hash table?
Thanks in advance.
Ilda

Hi,
After some changes in the code, it seems that xth_data table is assuming the new content. In debugging, we could see that the assignment was made and xth_data records are now in a different order. But when executing the BPS Layout assigned to this planning function, all the lines (records) still in the same place. The Layout doesnt change.
This is the code:
FUNCTION Z_ORDENAR_CLASSIFICACAO_PLANO.

Does anybody understand this behavior, why the changes in the user-exit are not assumed in the BPS Layout?

Check user manual input in excel BPS layouts

I have some problems for manual input characteristics checks on an excel bps layout.
I need to assign the value of an header characteristic to a detaild characteristic. How can I do ? I have already tried with characteristic rels. (exit, attributes, etc.) but without results.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Mario,
I am quite sure, that if a char is in an P.Level, and there is a char relationship for it, the char relationship will not be called (somebody correct me if am wrong).
So, in your case, you want to derive SALES ORG from Company code using char rel. The sales org is in the p.level, since it is in your layout. Threfore the char rel will be not called.
If you want to have it works, do not select sales org in your level. I assume that you filter your comp code in level with a bps variable. Get this variable value (using API_SEMBPS_VARIABLE_GETDETAIL function) and assign it to char SAles org in your char rel exit. Everytimes when you save your plan data, the char rel exit will be call and sales org will be derived.
If you want to show and derive the sales org in your layout based on selected company code, create a bps variable type exit for it, and read and derive the value from comp code variable.

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

Data in BPS layout columns

Hi,
   I have two data columns in my BPS layout called price and margin with one lead column material, the layout looks like this when it initially display:
   Material    Price   margin
      1          1.25
      2
      3
      4
The requirments is if user input date in the margin column and the price should be calculated by the following logic
     second material price = (first price ) + (first margin) and so on.
     if we input margin column 0.50,0.40 0.30 for material 1,2,3,4 respectively, we will get the following price result:
    Material    Price   margin
      1          1.25    0.50
      2          1.75    0.40
      3          2.15    0.30
      4          2.45
I am tried to use the excel formula for achieve this, but as much as I know the excel formula can not been saved when we configure the BPS layout,beside since the number of material display under different data selection criteria is vary, it's diffculty to hard code the formula in the excel.
Anybody have any suggestion how to do it?

Hi JW,
BPS is designed in a way that layouts and planning functions are completely independent of each other (otherwise you would have to build a layout for each function or something like that).
The data in the layout is sorted according to the lead column. So if you use FOREACH in FOX with the same characteristic, the data will be processed in the same order as the lead column.
Alternatively, you can do it with an exit function. All you need to do in an exit is copy XTH_DATA into an internal table and then use the SORT statement with the same sort key as the lead column.
DATA:
    lr_aera     TYPE REF TO cl_sem_planarea_attributes,
    lr_t_data   TYPE REF TO data.
FIELD-SYMBOLS:
    <lt_data>   TYPE STANDARD TABLE.
CALL METHOD cl_sem_planarea_attributes=>get_instance
    EXPORTING
      i_area      = i_area
    RECEIVING
      er_instance = lr_area.
CREATE DATA lr_t_data TYPE (lr_area->typename_t_data).
ASSIGN lr_t_data->*   TO <lt_data>.
<lt_data> = xth_data.
sort <lt_data> by ...
your logic here
xth_data = <lt_data>.

Comp coloum in BPS Layout

Hi all,
IN BPS layouts, system selecting the comp check boxes by default in some of layouts. Becouse of this user is not able to input value in layout.
Points will be awarded.
Thanks,
Harry

Hi,
Reason for this , for eg if you have restricted the characteristic comp.code in the layout as with variable and it is having multiple values like 1 , 2 , 3 and 4. In the data column you are restricting the comp.code with some other variable having different value 5 , 6 & 8 ie) not matching with layout values. then the system will automatically selected the comp.column in datacolumn..
in a simple way :
value which you have selected for the characteristic in the layout and value which you have selected in datacolumn is different..

Siva.

Locking data in BPS layout

Hi Guys,
I have one Planing Layout which different users will access for planning but for different Cost centers. But as of Now when User1 is loggining in it is fetching all Cost Centers and User2 is getting Locked . he is not able to change any plan data .
Now I want that when user1 will logon in BPS Layout ,he/she should fetch up the data for Cost centers for which he/she is authorized . So, other users should not be locked. they should continue to plan for other Cost centers.
your Suggessions will be hIghly Appreciated.
Thanks
Pankaj.

Hi Pankaj,
I suppose you want an input variable for 'User Group' based on which you would write an exit variable for Cost Center. I am a bit out of touch of BPS but as far as I think, you cannot do that because you cannot include a nav. attr. in a planning level. If you can think of some other way other than an input var. for 'User Group' then it might help. One way could be to include 'User Group' as a separate characteristic in the planning level.
In Integrated Planning, this is definitely possible, because in an input ready query, the nav. attr is accessible like any other characteristic on which we are able to apply an input variable.
Maybe somebody else can throw more light on this particular scenario in BPS.

Filtering BPS Layout by attribute

I have a BPS layout where the lead column (called "Projects") is based on a characteristic which has an attribute that I want to use as a filter so that only "Projects" with a special value for this attribute is displayed.
Is there an easy way to use a value of an attribute as a filter on which data is displayed as lead column in a BPS layout?
Best Regards
Jon Christopher Knudsen
Oslo - Norway

Hi Jon
Try to use Attribute Variable.
In the planning area create an attribute variable and use the attr as the basic char and project as its attributes. Then in the planning level select that variable.
Hope i hv got ur problem and gave a satisfactory reply.

HOW to Restrict the input Help for 0MATERIAL in the BPS Layout

Hi,
I have requirement to Restrict the input Help for 0MATERIAL in the BPS Layout.
For Example if the Planning Package is Restricted to SALES ORGANISATION ( 3000 ) then the system shuold check the 0MAT_SALES where SALES ORGANISATION IS "3000" )AND PASS THE Material Numbers to the 0material list.
I have Copied the standard Funtcion group "UPF_VARIABLE_USER_EXIT" to Z fucttion and have attached to Z Variabe as User Exit .
this Variable is Attached to 0material in the Planning Pakage. So tha now the 0MATERIAL is restricted to the variable which is having the User Exit.
But how to acces the Values of Planning Package for which the Layout is bein Executed from this Z User Exit ???
I Know how to restrict the input help, but my only problem is that how to get the values of Planning package through this User Exit.
Please suggest if it is possible.
Regards,
Nilesh Labde

Hi Nilesh,
As I understand from your question,you know how to restrict but the issue is to know the value in the package with which you need to restrict.
There are two tables which can help you finding the value used in package for sales organisation:
1. UPC_PACKAGE
2. UPC_OPTIOS
How to use ?
From UPC Package you will get one GUID, Hit the second table UPC_OPTIOS with this GUID.
In field "FIELDNAME" enter the name of the characteristic whose value is req (sales organisation in your case)
Hope this helps you

Display Document in a BPS layout

I activated documents in my BPS layout and the document attribute for 0COSTCENTER. Cost Center is in the header area of the layout. I created one document, however, the document icon shows up on every cell in the layout? Can anyone tell me how fix this?
Thank you!

Hi William,
documents are assigned to a characteristic combinations; since in your case only 0COSTCENTER has the document attribute all cells in the planning layout are assigned to the same document. Thus the document icon is displayed for all cells.
You can not change this.

Gregor

CRM fields not populating in BPS layout for opportunity Planning 0crm_order

Hello Support,
We are using SAP CRM 5.0 SP09 with BW 7.0 SP 09.
When creating an opportunity in CRM, the product data ( quantity ,
values) are not appearing in Planning tab( SEM-BPS Layout) .
Kindly let us know what needs to be done to resolve this issue.
Thanks and regards,
Rajiv Jain

In your CRM system, check your mapping from CRM to BW are correct.
You can do this in transaction SPRO. Menu path 'SAP Implementation Guide --> Integration with other mySAP components --> SEM --> Change mapping between CRM fields and InfoObjects'. Select planning application 'OPP' and click on 'Mapping table - system entries' on the left.
In here you should see the mapping from the InfoObject to the CRM field (eg. Infoobject 0CRM_EXPREV uses structure CRM_BW_OPPT_H and field name EXP_REVENUE).
In order for the value to be passed to planning you must tick the 'Empty' checkbox on.

Adrian

Navigate from WebDynpro Application to BPS Layout and vice versa

Hi,
Please see the following Problem Statement:

Variable Range not working in BPS-Layout.

Hi BI Guru's,
I am facing Problem in BPS - Layout.
My requirement is to get YTD Budget Quantity in Single Coulumn. For Example, I need Quantiy for the Period 001.2009 to 12.2009 in single Column as Budget YTD 2009.
For this I defined a variable on the Planning area, with the characteristics "fiscper" and in the selection condition i entered the range 001.2009 to 012.2009, but when i executed the layout it is showing the quantity for the perios 001.2009 only and not for the entire range.
I tried with the User Exit also, where i copied the standard function module "UPF_VARIABLE_USER_EXIT" to 'Z' function and modified to my requirement.
Following is my Code for the Function Module
clear eto_charsel.
data ls_charsel type upc_ys_charsel.
clear ls_charsel.
i_area = 'ZUCOPA'.
I_CHANM = 'FISCPER'.
i_variable = 'ZACTDYTD1'.
ls_charsel-chanm = i_chanm.
ls_charsel-seqno = '1'.
ls_charsel-sign = 'I'.
ls_charsel-opt   = 'BT'.
ls_charsel-low   = '2009001'.
ls_charsel-HIGH   = '2009012'.
insert ls_charsel into table eto_charsel.
But the after using the Function Module in the User Exit area of Variable also, I am getting the Quantity for the Period 001.2009 only and not for the entire range ( 001.2009 to 012.2009 ).
Please suggest some solution ASAP.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
VD.

Hi Marc,
Thanks For your Reply,
I changed the Layout as suggested by you, where i have now 12 columns for Budget Quantity and a Total column( C1C2....C12).
I do not want to show this 12 column and instead want to show only the total column, so I hide this columnn's in the change layout but after saving the layout these columns again appear in the layout.
How do i hide these columns in the layout????
Thanks

BW authorizations in BPS layout

Dear all,
My question may seem basic, but I don't have any experience with authorizations.
I need to use already existing BW authorizations in my BPS layouts, so well, I created auth. variables on the needed characteristics and assigned it to my layout.
==> nothing changes when I'm launching the layout.
I wonder if I need to ask the modification of the already existing BW roles in order to add field ACTVT? Will this have an impact on already existing BW reports for the users?
Also, does something need to be done in RSSM (or other T-code) in order to activate the auth. for my planning cubes?
Thank you in advance for your help!!

Ravi,
The objects you mentionned talk about area, planning, etc,... so they are usefull when a user wants to launch a layout in order to let him launch/plan it or not, etc... . That's the first step, and that doesn't interest me.
Second step is that when launching, the user will get his layout. This layout will be generated regarding the design I made in BPS0 and then also the variables I've used.
If I've restricted my planning level by using variables of type authorization on an char. that is in the lead column of my planning layout, it should restrict the diplayed/available rows regarding that authorization (ex : only company code 1000 for user A; company code 2000 for user B ; company code 1000 and 2000 for user C ==> coming from reporting authorizations in BW)
So I really think we don't speak about the same thing... or it's me that doesn't understand! (that's also possible )

Printing Document and Comments of a BPS layout

Do you know how i can take print out of all the comments that i have in a BPS layout. Where does all these comments and documents are stored and how can i retrieve them. If it is same a Documents tab under BW, how can i get those documents for a particular layout, as i do not see the options of a Layout except to go with Queries and Info Cube.
What is the alternative solution to achieve this. All my Users want to see the comments of other users and then plan on it..
Thanks and appreciate your ideas.
Veeru

Hi Marc,
I have a requirement to print the comments entered in the planning layout to be printed in a Bex Web report.
I implemented your 'How To' paper but I still have to produce a web report to show all the comments from the planning layout.
I found on the forum about reading the DMS through a FM and writing into a table and uploading into a cube as a charcteristic.
Are there any better alternatives?
Thanks,
Jay
