Date convertion function in BPS layout

Hi,
   At the user's request, I have created a key figure with date type "date". The purpose of this is to allowed the user can input the date for each of the material displayed at the BPS layout.
   when I use the listcube to display the date key figure, I notice that it is not display as the regular date instead it has benn converted to a number for example 01/12/2005 is dispaly as 731,959. when I delete the date from the layout and save it,now the cube has add a 731,959- record. this is comply with how the infocube deal with ket figure data.
   There should be an function which convert the date 01/10/2005 to 731.595 in the BPS back end, anybody know the function name.
Thanks,

Hi JW,
If you simply want to generate a new date from an existing one, there are several options using only FOX. But again, maybe you want to look at the original intention of the application and your data modelling options before researching into this specific issue.

Loading data from excel to BPS layout

Hi,
I have BPS layouts in place and also excel sheets which are exact replica of those layouts.
I know 2 options to load excel data into the BPS. These are:
1) Copy and paste the data from excel to BPS layout.
2) Create a flat file in line format from excel and then use method explained in document "How to Load a Flat File into BW-BPS Using SAPGUI.pdf".
Is there any other way I can upload the same?
Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.
thanks in advance.
regards,
Pankaj

Thanks to Vlad, Laurent & Srini for prompt replies.
But here the user needs to load data directly to the transactional cube.
So it is a case of "instead of keying in values" on to the BPS planning layout, user wants to upload the data from excel into the BPS layout.
Planning is done on SAP GUI and not web browser.
I am able to do the same using the document "How to Load a Flat File into BW-BPS Using SAPGUI".
But in this case the data needs to be converted into a simple csv file in line item format before it can be uploaded.
Is there any way, where we can upload from excel file without having it to change to csv format as required in "How to Load a Flat File into BW-BPS Using SAPGUI"?
thanks in advance.

Pankaj

Overwrite functionality with BPS layouts

Hi all,

Cube creates delta records but will not overwrite.

Excel functionality in BPS layout

Hi gurus,
I have a problem with layout on excel: all the excel functionality are not avaible, in particular i refer to filter and order.
I try to unprotect excel worksheet but if i use filter i have a lot of problems when save data.
My users are very boring ....
Thanks in advance

Hi,
just some background information: in BPS Excel is 'controled' via SAPGUI using OLE Automation, i.e. same technique Word uses to control an embedded Excel file. In this mode some Excel features cannot be used.
In addition it is hard to control Excel completely. BPS gets the data from the ABAP back-end and transfers the cells via SAPGUI and OLE Automation to Excel. After this BPS has no control what Excel does with the data. Some Excel functions like 'filter' or 'sort' make it almost impossible to read the data back from Excel in a consistent way. This is why the worksheet is protected by default the these kind of Excel functions lead to problems.
If you save the Excel template without protection in the layout builder it is also not protected at run time of manual planning.
It is also easy to create a button that protects/unprotects the worksheet. A code snippet can be found in the VBA makros SAPAfterDataPut, SAPBeforeDataGet.

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>.

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:

 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.

MOVE <lt_data> TO xth_data.
ENDFUNCTION.
Does anybody understand this behavior, why the changes in the user-exit are not assumed in the BPS Layout?

Ugrent help. User exit- Read data from BW BPS layout and write to ODS

Hi,
I am new to BW BPS and have a req. where i need to read data from BPS layout (EXCEL) and write it to ODS.
Is there any function module or user exit which read data from excel layout and upload it to ODS. Or can any one help me out how can i write a code for this.
It is urgent and i need your help.
Appreciate any kind of input.

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.

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.

Manual data change in SEM-BPS

Hello,
Dos somebody know how to find possibility of manual data change in the planning layout of SEM-BPS?
Thanks for answers.

Hello Svetlana,
When you meant "to add new (or change existing) data in a planning layout, you have to make use of the function module
API_SEMBPS_SETDATA.
The parameters what you have to pass are:
1) Planning area
2) Planning level (where your layout is defined)
3) Planning package
4) Planning Laoyut
5) Characteristic values of each row
Check the documentation of the Funtion Module (CTRL+F4).
1) Be sure to convert the key figure values in string format, otherwise you would get a runtime error.
2) Make sure that no two rows have same keys (characteristic value tuples)
3) Make sure that all the characteristic values are contained in the planning level (Check the filters)
A simple working example (ABAP Code) you have it from me when things dosen't go forwards.
Thanks and Good Luck!

BPS Layout Refresh

Hi,
We have a BPS layout which has columns for local currency and corresponding USD columns. Planning is done in local currency and upon saving the values are converted to corresponding USD, But the converted USD values are not reflected in the USD columns. We have to go out of the layout and come back into the layout, then the correct USD values are displayed. I think the layout is not getting refreshed on saving.
Is there a way to achieve this, like having a refresh button which when hit refreshes the layout data.
Any help on this is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
-Muru-

Hi,
Then in this case you will have to look for the function that is used for saving the data.... just ask your ABAP colleague to check for that program. Below is the suggested code to insert :
CALL FUNCTION 'API_SEMBPS_REFRESH'
IMPORTING
e_subrc = l_subrc
es_return = ls_bapiret.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Gimmo

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
VD

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.
Best Regards,
Suan Liono
