Data interlocking in BPS

Hi gurus,
I have customised planning layouts and folders for BPS. When the client is trying to use the system, they are locking each other in folders with different layouts. How do i fix this problem. They are getting the following error message:
Data in InfoProvider Z_FND_PRO is locked by user S115363
Message no. RSPLS090
Diagnosis
If transaction data is requested in change mode, this data has to be locked exclusively for one user. The data currently requested for the InfoProvider 'Z_FND_PRO' is already locked by user 'S115363'.
Information on the Context of Lock Requests:
A lock request can come from BI Planning or BW-BPS. The context contains 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 parameter group is the technical name of the planning layout.
InfoProvider 'Z_FND_PRO' is a Basis InfoProvider. Its current context information is:
'{0-ADHOC}{0-MP}'
System Response
The data requested cannot be changed while another user has an exclusive lock on this data.

Hello,
I am also having this issue. How can it be overcome? In the BPS templates the 'keys' are year, division and brand setup as variables. Multiple users are unable to update data from separate BPS data entry layouts against data going into the same cube.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Rick

How to do a Retractor to send data from SEM-BPS to R/3

Hi Folks!
Can someone say to me how to do a Retractor, step by step, to send data from SEM-BPS to R/3.
Thanks a lot in advance for your input!
Rocío.

Hi Thorsten,
Yes, I know it. But I didn´t want make it make through queries.
I have read than for CO-PA there are standard functions that send the data to R/3, but I cannot make they work to me.
And in addition I will need to also create other Retractors for RRHH, and there are not standard functions.
For that reason I needed know how to create a Retractor step by step.

Updating Master data attributes through BPS

Hi All,
Can we modify master data attributes via BPS? Like we have some Attribute characteristics for 'vendor' say 'class(good/bad/ok)' and we want that to be updated via BPS (not from R/3) then how it can be achived?
Please help by explaining this.

Hi,
Create two variables one for vendor and other for status (variable of type attribute), give both the variables in the folder. User will select the vendor and the attribute status value in selections. Create an exit planning function to update the attribute.
Import parameters
i_area type upc_y_area
i_variable type upc_y_variable
i_chanm type upc_y_chanm
Export parameters
eto_charsel type upc_yto_charsel
tables
i_t_attributes structure rsd_s_iobjnm optional
i_t_data structure rsndi_s_chavl optional
In the code, Read the above two variable values selected by user. Then delete the existing entry of MD by calling the function RSNDI_MD_DELETE.
Now update the master data with the new attribute value selected by the user in the variable by calling the function
RSNDI_MD_ATTRIBUTES_UPDATE. After this activate the master data by calling RSDMD_MD_ACTIVATE.
Hope this solves the issue.

Master Data Save Through BPS - BI and BPS Related

Hi,
I have 2 questions regarding BI and BPS working together.
1.Does all infoobject used in BPS layout have to be master data enabled to avoid BPS created master data? By this I mean, if an infoobject doesn't have 'with master data' check box enabled, and has only'with text' enabled, the new masters created in BPS gets saved to the infoobject? Is this how it is expected to behave?Is there a work around to avoid creating master data from BPS?
2.We have a multiprovider for actuals and budget. Budget comes from BPS which has only cal quarter. But the budget and actuals cube have year and quarter. In the actuals we are deriving quarter and year from trnasaction date in update rule. But for budget, we have only quarter being entered by user. Is there a way to derive the year and store in budget infocube so that reports derived out of the multiprovider can show year correctly for both budget and actuals?
Thanks
Suja

>1. BPS cannot create master data at all and that setting is irrelevant fo bps. Users can only forecast on existing master data.
This is wrong. If your infoobject doesnt have master data, then values inputted in layouts will be written into the infoobject.
>1.Does all infoobject used in BPS layout have to be master data enabled to avoid BPS created master data?
By this I mean, if an infoobject doesn't have 'with master data' check box enabled, and has only'with text' enabled, the new masters created in BPS gets saved to the infoobject?
yes
>Is this how it is expected to behave?
I think, yes
>Is there a work around to avoid creating master data from BPS?
The only way, i suppose, to create infoobject with master data

Attached document for data column in BPS Web application

Hi,
I have created layout for a BPS application, the layout has been configured to have the ability to allow the used to create the attached documentd for the data column. when the user open the layout through the planning profile, the icon for those documents is displayed and can be open by click those icons. After we generated the Web applicatios, those icons are gone and the user can not open them any more.
I notice that there is document subcomponent under BPS-WB, I added that subcomponent to my web layout, it still not work.Anybody know how to display the attached documents on the Web, Is this doable?

Hi Marc,
I did exactly what you mention in your responce e-mail, but it still not work coreectly.
following is my propperty configuration for layout and documents:
Planning layout (layout_lay01)
Only ready for output: True
Row/Cell Selection: Cell
Event on selection: true
Document on planning layout (Document1)
Layout: = layout_lay01
Only ready for output: false
When I launch the application through the Tcode BPS_WIF0
There is no document icon display for each data columns which can been in UPSPL. Instead there is a generic document input/display space under the lauout,however there is no any document display within the box, and I can not input anything within the document box. I changes some of the property for the layout and document, but it not work.
Did I forget some thing?

Data columns in BPS layout

Hi,
My current BPS layout has three columns, they are cost,price and margin respectively. The user now ask to add another column call "alert" after the margin column.
The logic is that if the margin is less than 10%, then the alert column should marked with "X", otherwise leave it blank.
In order to add a column after margin column, the added column have to be key figure which will not allowed characteristics,while all the other key figure type such as amount, quantity, date ect will not take
"X".
Any idea or suggestion.

JW,
If Margin is the last column on your layout, what you do is in the last layout definition screen, add the locl excel formula to the column after where the margin would appear. Then you just use simple excel formula to do it.
For things to appear only if there is data in the row, I typically use an IF in the excel formula and check for values in cost, price, margin. Actually it would be 2 nested IFs. One to check for value and the other to determine the 10% and mark it with a X... In purely excel formula, there is no distinction between key figures and characteristics since it is only Excel.
Hope this helps.

ODS / Master Data planning with BPS (Using BSP)

Hy Experts,
i know from Business Planning forum that by now it is not possible to plan Master Data / ODS object in BPS. Someone hints that it could be possible by creating a BSP that actually allowed modification on Master Data InfoObject.
I'm new and i don't know very well how BSP works, does anyone here have any idea of a BSP implementation for thatt purpose?
Many thanks, every hints will be really appreciated and rewarded

first of all my knowledge on BPS is zero. i am just going to answer the BSP part.
here is my understanding.
you wanted to have a BSP page where you will be displaying (in eidt mode) data from the ODS and you want the feature where in the user should be able to change the value and be able to save it back to the ODS. Is my understanding right? or i have completely missed you.
if my understanding is right what you need is a htmlb:tablview element (with edit feature) to show the data from ODS table and some coding in the BSP side to do the modification to the underlying talbes.

Master data maintenance in BPS

Hi,
Does anyone has implemented a BPS layout to maintain masterdata ?? I know this is a overkill ...what are the settings to be made to info objects for it to accept the masterdata ???
Any suggestions is eagerly awaited,
regs
D Bret

Folks,
I've had this requirement in one shape or another at least on 3 projects now.
Mary, the FM you specified (UPC_BW_MASTER_DATA_MAINTAIN) is a good one for GUI. I've tried it from the web and it gives you an error while trying to send data to the web. I think this would only work if you have a capability to embed GUI in the web. By the way, does anyone know how to do it without leaning on portal? Can it be done in fact?
To go ahead and do some master data creation/maintenance from the web i did the following:
1. Created as many infoobjects with no master data or texts as there're attributes/texts (s/m/l) for a master record. This would also include the key, e.g. internal order. None would have master data or texts.
2. On par with those i created, or used standard, a set of real attributes as well as the key char you want to maintain.
3. Created an infocube which would contain all infoobjects that don't have the master data. So that a user can populate them on the web.
4. Wrote an FM to read the values off those fields in the loop and update the master data tables with the real attributes/texts. There's a standard FM RSDMD_WRITE_ATTRIBUTES_TEXTS you'd have to call from your Z one. Just make sure you specify the right i_tabclass in parameters depending on whether you're updating attributes or texts.
5. The function to create/update the master record is a local planning sequence which, as soon as the record is created, deletes it from the cube. So the cube stays always empty. It's done so that no old saved requests would be included in the loop next time you run it.
There're few clumsy issues with this solution. First, you need to specify the key figure for the cube. I try to make it meaningful for the user, whereas in reality it's used for nothing. You actually have to put some kinda value there coz otherwise the line items with zeros in all KFs are not included in xth_data hashed table in the loop.
Then comes this inflexibility with being able to fully maintain the record, seeing it prior to calling it up. I managed to only create and update the record (if the same key is used, in this case, the FM just overwrites the old attributes/texts with the new ones).
Last but by far not least, once i created a master data value, on the next tab i want my variable to be auto-refreshed with a newly created MD value. Heck. You have to tweak and fool the system even here. But i'll write more about it in a separate discussion.
Final point. Dave, the client req you have is not an overkill. If i were a client, for Pete's sake, i'd be adamantly demanding this functionality. I believe, if we at SAP make a claim BPS can be used to plan at levels other than lowest level of master data in the R/3 system, then we better be ready to provide a user-controlled tool to create those master record values prior to entering plan data against those. And often a user doesn't know the master record attributes/texts and when they finally do, they need to plan against them the next minute. So no time for calling the IS team asking to load a file containing one record.
Cheers

How can I lock planning data using SEM-BPS Status tracking monitor

Hi,
What are the pre-requisites for being able to lock planning data when using certain header characteristics
in customizing the Status and Tracking System in BPS ?
I have done the following and expect the locks to be set, but they are not set and the data is still available for planning :
1. Assigned the 0COMPANY hierarchy to a subplan with a planning area which has header characteristics : VERSION and CALYEAR.
Header characteristic customization is as follows :
CALYEAR = 2005
VERSION = V1
2. Have set the status of all nodes in the hierarchy to 'approved' .
3. I execute a Web planning interface for this planning area with a selection of a 0COMPANY within this hierarchy, PLANYEAR = 2006, CALYEAR = 2005 and expect the plan to be locked but its not.
Could someone kindly explain why ?
Regards.
PS : Hope the scenario is clearly explained.

Hello Anuradha,
The plan data should be locked after the status is switched if
- the package selection used in the planning function or planning layout is entirely contained in the header selection
- you do not access the plan data via a multi area
- the user does not have the authorization "STS_SUP" (super user).
It is important to note that the characteristic used to define the hierarchy is not used in the locking. The characteristic is only used to define the hierarchy.
In your example only the characteristics year and version are relevant for locking as these are the only ones used in the header selection. The data should be locked if the package selection is year = 2005 and version = V1. If you have a selection like year = 2005 and version = V1, V2 then the data is not locked as the selection is not completely contained in the header selection. Note that even if you only use version V1 in your selection but if you use a planning layout that has V2 in a comparison column then the system will enlarge the selection and data would not be locked.

RFC Call - Retracting data from BI/BPS/SEM to ECC

Hello Gurus,
Since there is no standard retarctors available for SKF and New GL in BPS-SEM we developed a custom retractor.
We call a standard BAPI to post SKF and a BDC to post New G/L.
When we call the RFC function it asks for the user id and password to login into ECC system.
How to handle the SAP log on screen in the program.
Do we pass the userid and password through the ABAp program ?
Please let me know how to handle the logon screen in the foreground and also in the background.
Again this program will be executed in the background .
Thanks for your help guys

This is a duplicate post. Please close the other one.
You should be able to set up a RFC connection in SM59 with a generic userid and password embedded. Give the userid the authorizations to process this and not much else.

Saving planning data in SEM-BPS application

Hi Colleagues!
When I tried to save entered plan data and get the error:
"Not all characteristics for line item tracking fou Required: 0DATE,
0TIME, 0TCTUSERNM and 0TCTSYSID.
Message no. UPF001"
I do not use these objects and maybe anyone knows what the source of this problem?
There is no any characteristic relationship in area and level.

Hi
the part of the mesage
0TCTUSERNM and 0TCTSYSID
sounds like authorization problems.

Help to fill BPS Cube with same data in a Cube with these conditions

Hi,
I need some help in implementing BPS in a small project. (Integrated Planning is not available).
An existing cube, Cube1 has: Year/month, Year, char1, char2, keyfig1, keyfig2
Keyfig1 is filled directly from R3 with actuals; keyfig2 (planned values) is filled manually filled with a monthly flat file load.
Now, there is a change in direction to fill keyfig2 through BPS features and bring in additional key figures all based on keyfig1.
Cube2 has been created only for the purpose of this BPS project. Cube2 was a copy of Cube1(with no data). For Cube1, I have created a Planningarea1 and PlanningLevel1; and for Cube2, Planningarea2 and PlanningLevel2 in BPS0.
How do I fill the BPS Cube2 with the same data as in BPS Cube1 with the following conditions:
keyfig1 : same as source value from R3 (not modifiable)
keyfig2 : modifiable by users only on the first and second of the month.
keyfig3 : keyfig1 * 1.1
keyfig4 : keyfig1 of previous Year/month
keyfig5 : same as source value from R3 (But modifiable)
keyfig6 : same as keyfig5 as of last day of 20th of the current month (not modifiable)
The goal is to create a multi planning area to join the two cubes. Hints all that will also be appreciated.
Thanks

Your thought of having a multi area is right.
Create a multi area and being the basic areas to which you have assigned cube 1 and cube 2 underneath the multi area.
UNder your planing package, create a function of type Formula and create a parameter set like this:
= * 1.1.
Just this one line will is enough.
TO get keyfig 4 as previous month's key fig; you need another fox. To do this, you need to have a BPS variable to et previous month and use this variable in the parameter set.
Your fox will be like this.
DATA CURRMONTN TYPE 0CALMONTH.
DATA PREMONTH TYPE 0CALMONTH.
{KEYFIG4, CURRMONTH} = {KEYFIG1, PREMONTH}.
To make users modify only on days 1 and 2, you need to define a dara slice.

BPS Retraction for PS Master Data

Hi,
We want to use BPS and be able to create PS Master data (project IDs) in BPS. But at the same time, we want to be able to retract the new master data created in BPS. How can we reconcile the master data created in BPS with the one created in R/3? When the data is sent to R/3, is there a data integrity check? How can we complete the master data in R/3 knowing that only 2 or 3 fields are posted in BPS.
Any advice or inputs would be greately appreciated.
Thanks,
Patrick
