Deleting lines in SEM-BPS Excel Layout
Within our BPS excel layout, if a user selects a line and deletes it, it only deletes the planned values in the key figures. It doesn't completely remove the line from the layout unless the user restarts the layout. We've tried checking and resumming, but these do not remove the line. Is there a way to delete a line and have it completely disappear without having to restart the layout?
Hi Lee,
you wrote:
If you select and delete, that line will disappear.
Does this happens even after characteristic values are protected?
Afte a line has been entered in BPS layout,
I can delete the entire line provided I've not executed any planning funciton / saved into cube. (at this point, characteristics are not protected)
If I do execute any planning funciton / saved into planning cube, at this point I doubt if one should be able to delete the entire line (both characteristics & key figures) (at this point, characteristics are protected & doesn't allow to delete the same manually)
at this point, to delete the line including protected characteristics, we will have to use delete funciton.
if am wrong, I'm also interested to know your solution.

Hi,
In SEM-BPS I use fiscal year variant K4 and when a Excel planning layout is started with a period October, 2007 to September, 2008 the system also displays a column with year = 2008 and period = 00.
How can I avoid this?
Thanks,
JairHi,
isn't it accidently a misused "Summation" Column?
to switch it off:
8th icon from left hand side: a smiling face in front of a table.
Switch "Show total" off. -
Changes are not reflected into SEM-BPS 1 layout.
Hi,
1st, I've included code in SAPAfterDataPut that copies data from SEM-BPS 1 into New Sheet.
Now, I've inserted a method in the sheet module of New Sheet. This method takes care of reflecting changes from New Sheet into SEM-BPS 1 layout. but, finally am not getting changes back to SEM-BPS 1 sheet.
I've tested this in excel (outside of BPS) and it works fine.
in BPS, I went into VB debugging mode (after inserting a break point) and I can see that change that has been made in New Sheet was reflected back to SEM-BPS 1. But, when i test the same out of debugging mode, am not getting the same result.
Looks like,after changes in New Sheet, SAPAfterDataPut is again being executed and is overwriting the changes that I made in new sheet.
Do i need to inlclude code only in SAPBeforeDataPut to reflect changes from new Sheet into SEM-BPS 1?
In excel (outside of BPS), this method works in such a way that, as soon as i make changes in Sheet2 will get reflected into Sheet1 without runnning any macro.
but, with same code, this doesn't work in BPS. (instead of reflecting changes to SEM-BPS 1, changed value in New Sheet is reverted back to original value that is same as the value in SEM-BPS 1)
Appreciate any ideas/thoughts on this.Hi,
Usually you work with a second sheet in the following way: write a macro that copies the data from the SEM-BPS 1 sheet to the new sheet. In order to run that macro include it into the macro "SAPAfterDataPut" and set the flag in the check box of in the popup of the third screen of the layout builder. The system will call the macro after the data has been written to the sheet SEM-BPS 1.
There is a second predefined macro that the system will executed provided that the flag is set on the popup in the layout builder. This macro is called "SAPBeforeDataGet". It is called before the BPS reads data from the SEM-BPS 1 and should be used for transferring the data back to the first screen (similar to the coding you have done in SAPAfterDataPut). Using this macro should solve your problem.
I did not understand how the changes are transferred from the new sheet in your (stand alone) case. Unfortunately it sometimes does make a difference if you test a macro in a stand alone Excel or in the Excel inplace. Some features are disabled in Excel Inplace (by Microsoft!!).

Hello,
Could anybody explain me, how can i insert into BPS excel layout excel and Visual Basic functionality (buttons, graphics, formulas)?
All my worksheet's rows are locked.
Could you send me docs about SEM BPS modeling?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Arunas StonysHello Arunas,
you can make your changes on the third screen of the layout builder; if you save the planning layout these changes will be saved in the Excel template of the planning layout.
Usually (dependind on the changes) it may be more convenient to download a copy of the master template and implement your changes there. Then you can checking the Excel file as an Excel template for the planning layout, e.g. with report UPP_LAYOUT_CHECKIN, cf. note 428092.
Be careful with data in the Excel template: In the 'SAP area' the Excel templates contains no data (the dummy data
you see in the third screen of the layout builder will be cleared when you save the layout). Data in the SAP area will be overwritten at run time with transaction data, but the size of the SAP area (e.g. the number of used rows) of course depends on the transaction data.

Validate mandatory field in BPS Excel layout
Hi Sdner
In my BPS Excel layout i want to have some characteristic as mandatory.If i don't put any value for them system will put a # by default which i don't want. system should prompt a error message that particular field is mandatory and enter some value. I can check this thru planning function(FOX) but the problem is all characteristics in that row will greyed out after function execution and hence can't be changed by user.
Does somebdy know if there is any workaround to solve this ?
Thanks
Tripple kHi Tarun
Use XL macros to validate data in a column.
When macro executes it first unprotect the worksheet,then we have our custom code for validation and error message, after that it is followed by a protect sheet command.
My Prob is that if error is there in any field raised by macro, user should be able to edit those fields but as we are protecting our worksheet in macro, editing is not possible.
I can't unprotect the worksheet because then user can change anything.
+Use a read function module on planning layout. While you are in layout change mode use lbexit_fm as a transaction code. You can read data from planning layout and write validation code and error message in ABAP function module.+_
I used this Tcode and FM, but they are ment to read Non SAP area of Excel sheet. The actual layout(Data Record)(SAP Area) which we want to read is not coming in internal table while executing FM.
On Execution it is saying that reading and writing on SAP protected data is not allowed.
If you have done any of these workaround then can you please put some more lights on this ?
Thanks

Authorizations in SEM-BPS (Web Layouts)
Hi all,
I have a question that hopefully somebody can help me in solving it.
We have a bps application, with authorizations maintained in the sap normal way: pfcg, rssm, etc.
The question is that we started to build some web (alv) layouts, and need to maintain the same authorization schema.However, the authorizations are not verified in the web layouts.
Can somebody provide some hint in solving this problem ?
Best Regards,
RicardoHi Raman,
Sorry but your tip doesn't work
That's precisely our problem: the authorization scheme we implemented in the "SAP GUI side" doesn't work in the web side". Using web layouts, I still can acess some layouts I shouldn't be allowed to (user dependent)
Thank you anyway

Multiple line selection in BPS web layout
Hello experts
I know there is a "row/column" option for layout in WIB, but it only provides the "radiobutton" but not "checkbox", hence I only can select single line in the layout but not the multiple lines.
anybody has idea to solve the problem?
Thanks PatrickPatrick, it's quite difficult to explain it, if you are not familiar with BSP
I can show only direction for you in such case, because whole implementation is quite hard and depends of you requirements.
In short, you should generate your application in WIB with "Generate class" set true and keep "Name of generated class" filled.
Then, you should go to se80, select BSP appication, enter name of your application, then, you will have layout2.htm in Views. This page implements web-layout. You should change HTML and ABAP coding for this page to put checkboxes and write some code to implement your business logic. -
Microsoft Fix interferes with BPS Excel OWC
Dear Experts,
we had just rolled ou a MS security fix
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/advisory/973472.mspx
which deactivates some parts og ERxcel OWC.
As a consequence, BPS Excel layouts don't work anymore.
Has anybody already found some information on this? (a SAP note?)
Or is there already a workaround or something like that?
Best regards
GregorHi Madhu,
very interesting. Which one of the workarounds did you use?
There are 4 described in the MS Note at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/advisory/973472.mspx
1) Prevent Office Web Components Library from running in Internet Explorer
2) Unregister the Office Web Components Library
3) Restrict Web sites to only your trusted Web sites
4) Set Internet and Local intranet security zone settings to "High" to prompt before running ActiveX controls in these zones
The information I have on this meanwhile via a SAP Customer Note is, that
- YES excel BPS layouts dont work with the MS Workaround Fix
- SAP is waiting for MS to fix the underlying vulnerability which would make the workaround obsolete
Best regards

Refresh current SEM-BPS layout
Hi,
I have a need to refresh the current SEM-BPS layout after executing a planning sequence.
How do i do that?
the problem is,
A planning sequence reposts current layout data & the data disappers from the layout but the document icons still appear in the layout. (these are just virtual icons meaning it doesn't let me to delete/edit the document. If i click on these icons, nothing happens but the icons just appears)
I switched the layout (another button in the folder) after executing this planning sequence & again came back to the 1st layout & the icons are gone.
So, I'm anticipating that refreshing the current layout should solve this problem.
Appreciate any kind of help.Hi,
I guess the problem lies in the way the Excel macros transmit the data from the BPS sheet to your sheet. The best way to handle the problem is to insert a delete operation in you VBA coding before the new data is transferred to the second sheet. What I mean is in the macro SAPAfterDataPut you first delete all data in the second sheet (including the icons) and then transfer everything to the second sheet.
You cannot trigger a "restart" of the Excel layout via a planning function. If you are in a layout and trigger a planning function the system notices that the same layout should be shown and thus does not restart the Excel (for performance reasons). If you switch to another layout then the Excel application is stopped and a new Excel is started. There is no way to influence this behavior without doing a system modification.

Hi all,
I have the following question related to web layouts in sem-bps (non excel):
- I have several web layouts to enter data, but we have now user requirements related to copy, paste informations cells (manually) from and to EXCEL. The problem is that, using a simple alv layout this operation can't be done.
I've already searched possible ways to overcome this limitation, with no success (layout settings, by inclusion of some specific object, etc.)
Can anybody help me ?

How to Remove totals on few columns from SEM BPS layout
On SEM BPS layout it has 10 5 charatestics columns
and 10 key figure columns.
out of these key figures I want see totals on some
coulmns and for few columns I do not want to see totals.
for wxample it does not make sense of seeing total under
the salary incrase percentage coulmn.
Please suggest anyway we can remove total for some
columns on the layoutHey, thanks -- everything worked as you described. It never would have occurred to me that the "put back" button refers to the browser selection not the layout selection, for reasons I give below.
I think Aperture exhibits some conceptual confusion here. First of all, a "light table" is created by the New > Light Table command, and you add images to the newly created light table just as you would add them to an album. But those images don't go on the light table layout until you drag them from the browser to the layout table. The "put back" button and "remove from light table" contextual menu command both mean remove from the layout. The phrasing of the contextual menu command make it sounds as if it will remove the clicked image from the light table's collection of images, like removing an image from an album -- it would have made more sense to name this command "put back". Furthermore, the "put back" button is above the layout display, not above the browser, which to me implies that it applies to selections in the layout display. To select an image in the browser, and click "put back selected" seems backwards -- if you just selected the image in the browser, your attention is focused on the browser, not the layout; from the browser's point of view, the button should read "bring back" not "put back".
The documentation didn't really help when I was trying to figure this out. Sometimes the Aperture documentation refers to just a "light table", as on the overview on page 732. On pages 733 and 734, though, it refers to a "light table album". On page 735 of the Aperture manual there is a very brief explanation of how "to add images to the light table" and "to remove an image from the light table". Here, "light table" refers to the layout not the album. The explanation of the "Put Back Selected" button says to select an image then click the button, and the picture shown is of an image selected in the layout, not in the browser. -
Column Heading in Excel layout coming to Second Line
Hi All,
I am doing an excel Layout using Report Builder 6i. There in excel layout output,
the cloumn headings are coming in two lines. I mean headings for few last columns are getting wrapped to second line, though corresponding data is coming
correctly.
Please help me over this if anyone had faced the same problem...
Thanks in AdvanceYou need to make sure that your column headings in Reports have no 'returns' in them. The text should be all on one line and the text in the layout editor should be no 'taller' than 1 line. Your frame around the column headings should also be no 'taller' than 1 line.
Hope this helps!! -
SEM BPS Layout Performance trace
Hi guys,
our users are reporting following issues from Sales Planning Budget planning layout. User needs to restrict on a start page 1) Sales responsibility 2) Value Segment 3) Sales Employee 4) VAT code
They experience problems when selecting the variable values above, it can take many minutes before you can change the next variable value - sometimes it is not working at all. Sometimes, when users are able to choose all the values and press start planning function button - they don't get anything but blank layout.
So is there a way to trace somehow the performance of BPS planning layout and enhance it?
Thanks in advance, appreciated!

Edited by: Riku Uski on Feb 1, 2008 12:54 PMThanks for this, it was related to overall performance tuning etc.
We're currently running in BW 3.5 but in some time IP and BI7 should be alive - then there's a place from tuning.
Now I am still trying to find the bottle neck for the current issue so if someone has got information on solving this, cheers
