Clarification on Manual Planning

Hello
Would appreciate clarification on the following query.
Is it possible to write zero key figures into the infocube:
The context is I have paytype as a characteristic
when the characteristic is BONUS the rates (read All Key Figures )are zero, while there are specific rates when the value of the paytype characteristic is PAID
While I maintain these values in the planning layout , I find that the system recognizes only those entries which has atleast one non-zero value
The work around for me would be to try and introduce a key-figure which would have a value in all instances
Just wanted to know whether there is an alternative
Thanks for your time
Regards

appreciate your response on this query;
I also felt like sharing SAP's perspective on this.......
<b>My query to SAP</b>
I have created a planning layout for manual planning; Set of entries were entered in the planning layout
The scenario demands the key figures for certain characteristics combinations to be zero ; this means that for these combinations, all the key figures assumes zero values The systems generates entries only in the cases where atleast one key figures has a non zero value; Why is this so? Is the BPS design/ Loading
into t cubes designed such that key figure should have non zero values
to be loaded into the data target Appreciate help on this Regards;
Ramesh

Dear Ramesh,
yes, the system is designed this way. The BPS could not discern betweenvalues of zero and values not yet planned. Data sets have to have at least one key figure diverse to zero, otherwise these data sets will be
deleted from the internal buffer and will be not written to the cube. This is the standard behaviour of the BPS system.
A possible workaround is to set dummy key figure (like "planned") with value 1 for "yes" and 0 for "no".

Error while creating manual planned order in apo

Dear expert
While I am creating manual planned order i am getting error as message /sapapo/rrp251
Every thing is correct BOM and PV's no error after consistency check and it getting succesfully transffered to APO and it is also visible in APO
But while creating manual planned orders planned order are not getting generated I am using BLock planning with PPDS
Please help How to resolve it
Regards
Virender

Hi
The error message /SAPAPO/RRP251 - Error occurred while creating order means While creating an order, the system encountered problems, such as, for example, no available components or components that are available late, orders that could not be scheduled, and so on.
I think system attempted to solve the availability problems by using alternative procurement options. This was not successful. The order could not be created. Check the exceptional situations in the planning protocol, under Goto -> Planning log, and deal with the causes of the exceptional situations if this is possible or necessary.
Thanks

Variable with range- only 1st value used in manual planning ?

Hi,
We're trying to define a column in a manual planning layout that will represent a YTD total. We have defined a variable for 0fiscper that contains the range of periods we require in the YTD total. When we execute that manual planning area with this variable used as a restriction on the data column we want, the key figure values displayed only represent those for the 1st period in the range - not all periods in the range !
I'm hoping someone can tell me if manual planning layouts can use variables in this manner. If not, how can this best be done ?
Many thanks,
Blair

Hi Blair,
Create a total column using the dynamic column, as a result you would have the individual period columns and the total column in the layout. Now make the individual period columns hidden using any of the options below.
You could achieve the same, by making the column hidden in the transaction UPX_MNTN
> Enhance Planning Layout
> Select the relevant layout
     > Select the enhanced button for the key figure
       column
       > Mark the hidden check box there.
Alternatively if you are using Excel GUI, you could set the column width of the columns preceeding the total column as 0 (in the third screen of the layout) to make them hidden.
Hope it helps

Calculated key figures in manual planning

I'm trying to set up a Material Planning system using BPS.
One of the requirements my customer wants is that in the manual planning he can both modify a multiplier as well as one of the resulting amount key figures.
The multiplier is used to calculate the consensus amount based on a consolidated amount.
In my manual planning I have the possibility to allow input on the multiplier as well as the consensus forecast (that has been calculated upfront). Now I need the consensus forecast to change when th multiplier is changed.
How can I best tackle this? (Yes, I'm fairly junior to BPS...)
Thanks for any guidance in this matter.
Regards,
Eric

Hi Eric,
to give business the most flexible solution, allow them to manually change the multiplier or the result and provide two planning functions (FOX). One for calculating the result from the multiplier, and one for the reverse. Then the user can choose which direction they want to go.

How To Add New Key Figure in Manual Planning

Dear All
Please Help
I Already implement BPS for 2 year.
Now user want to add new key figure in Cube.
I already add new key figure to cube and activated it.
But in Manual Planning, The new key figure not show in selection
what I must do?
Please Help.
Thanks

Hi,
not all key figure types are supported in BPS.
1. All key figure types must have aggregation SUM, SUM.
2. Supported key figure types:
- amout
- quantity
- number (integer, float, dec)
- time, only type DEC
- datum, only type DEC
All other key figures are filtered out and are not available in BPS.

How to allow only new combinations when adding lines in manual planning?

Hello Xperts.
in manual planning (input ready query called over web-template) the user wishes to plan (change the key figure values) for already existing combinations and to add new lines (which has been enabled in the web-template through a button group).
The crux of the matter is that the user is supposed to be able to enter only new unique combinations of data. Hence the user may not enter already existing characteristic combinations as a new line.
I have noticed that the system default is that if the user enters an already existing combination when "adding a new line", the value entered for the key figures is simply added to the existing value (summation) of that characteristic combination. This is unacceptable to the business requirements!
I thought about solving with a check combination exit (CL_RSPLS_CR_EXIT_BASE), but the problem is that all already existing combinations would be invalid, hence it would not work I think.
I would appreciate any suggestions out there how this could be accomplished. Thank you.

Hi,
The best option that satisfies your requirement is to create a custom planning function to accept only new combinations.
For this check the following link,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/43/0c033316cd2bc4e10000000a114cbd/frameset.htm
In the above go to BI Integrated Planning -> BI Integrated Planning -> Implementing Planning Function Types
After this, in your "Save" button on the workbook insert this custom function also before the "Save".
So once you click "Save" button first check is performed and error is thrown if the records entered by the user are not as per your requirement.

Balajee

BPS - possibility of Manual Planning Functions

Hi guys,
I need some technical advice. Please advice if this task can be "EASILY" accomplished via BPS Manual Planning Function ?
My client need to input certain data into BW and generate a report displaying all the below mentioned data into a simple BW query.
Type of data that need to be inputted manually (key-in) :-
Market Velocity
AVG Daily Trading Value
Mkt CAP of New Listing
No. of new Listing
No. of Derivative Instructions
Please assist soonest possible

Hi John,
Should work. If you have an InfoCube (type transactional) with the chars & keyfigs, you could do a manual planning. However, for demo purposes, you could also use transaction RSINPUT for this cube. If you have defined your correct InfoObjects, you have these several options.
If you want to report on this transactional InfoCube, make sure you include the variable for "most current data" in your BEx report.
Good luck,
Laurens.

Help reqd for determining header char combination in Manual Planning

Hi,
I have created a manual planning layout which has 3 chars in lead col, 5 KF in data col and all remaining chars in the header. Now when I display plan data for this layout at time it displays me records only for one combination of header chars. And so I have hit next combination button to navigate thru remaining records. Is there a way by which I can have all the records with all possible header char combination at once?
If hit the other combination button and empty all the header fields and then execute it says me no records found for this combination coz then in this case it searches for the records with all the fields blank.
Thank you,
sam

Multiple options:
1. dependent characteristics (like profit centre / comp code) wont be modelled in the layout. You will have to derive them as chararacteristics relationship. If you wish to keep the dependent characteristics in the layout, then you need to write a exit variable which will populate comp code by reading profit center. Reg cost element, you can have it in loead column. With this setting, if you chose a profit centre in the header and the company code will be populated and for a given profit centre, you cna view the plan data.
2. Create a report and this is a better approach. You dont need a exit or anything. From report, build a jump to UPSPL for entering plan data.

Increase empty rows in BPS Manual planning

Hi All,
I have a BPS layout and there is already data in the cube and I can see it. when I want to add additional data via this manual planning layout, ı only see 20 empty rows. when ı insert 20 rows of data and save it, new 20 empty rows will come.
Is it possible to increase these rows from 20 to 500.
I want to insert 500 rows of data at a same time.
I appreciate you for your replies.
Ali

Hello Ali,
we have had the same problem and could extend the number of input ready rows by changing of the system function:
Function Group: UPP_FRONT_SPREADS
Include: LUPP_FRONT_SPREADSTOP
Following line was changed:
*\constants: c_dummies_number type upp_y_row value 20.
constants: c_dummies_number type upp_y_row value 500.

Difference b/w manual planning,& planninf functions

Hi,
In BW BPS when we have to got for manula planning & when we have to use the planning functions

hi
we can go for manual planning when the plan data to be entered is less.
Next if we wont find any suitable planning function for our requirement then we can go for manual planning.
We go for planning functions: if the volume of data is very large and very difficult to enter manually. If it consists of different mathamatical calculations which can be defined and can be incorporated as predefined planning function or FOX.
