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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Cost center planning by functional area

    hi gurus,
    The client needs to do manual planning in CO (KP06) by cost center/cost element/fund/functional area. This data is later gets rolled up in FM to formulate the budget data. The client wants to enter all the account assignment manually except for functional area. They want that system automatically derive the functional area based on the cost center (one to one relationship). I tried the CO substitution but this functionality is only for actual data and not plan data. Any suggestion how I can derive the functional area in CO planning based on cost center?

    Hi,
    Functional area is required for cost of sales accounting in Finance. It has got nothing to do with Cost Center planning. Functional area shall not be visible in controlling. Pl update this constraint to the client and go ahead with Cost center/cost element planning with necessary one to one relationship with Fund center, etc.
    Trust this helps much!
    Cheers!

  • SEM-BPS Creation of the Manual Planning

    Hi All,
    Am new to SEP BPS.
    Am trying the create the Manual Plannng. but it is giving the following message.
    "Select a node related to tree".
    I followed the steps mentioned below.
    Selected the Planing LEvel, from planning menu selected the option manual planning --> create.
    it gives me the above step.
    The other alternative follwed is right click on the planning level, in the context menu it suppose to list the create manual planning. but am not able to see this option.
    To create a manual plan any settings has to be done...
    Regards,
    Prathima.

    Hi Prathima,
    To create Manual Planning, select the Planning package for the Planning Level and then select "Create Manual Planning"
    alternatively
    once you have selected the Planning package on the right click mouse of the planning functions also will give you the option to do the same.

  • 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.

  • 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.
    Best regards,

  • Planning Sequence/Function times out

    Hello,
    I have the following issue. I have a planning layout and many planning sequences/functions attached to the push buttons on the layout. The problem is that when I am trying to execute any of the planning sequences attached to the buttons (click the button), the "wheel keeps spinning" and eventually the application times out without computing anything. it works fine in Development and QA systems, but not in P. the only difference between the 3 environments is the Support Stack level. in P we are still on SPS 11 and D and QA is SPS 13.
    I suppose there can be multiple reasons for why this is happening, but what should I be looking for first? Why does it time out? It does not seem to matter how many records PF is processing, because it times out with 4 records and 40K records. Any ideas or pointers to look at?
    Thanks

    Hi AG,
    please try if your planning sequences run in the back-end report RSPLS_PLSEQ_EXECUTE. If you have variables you need to define a variant to start it in the back-end. You should measures the time here ...
    And what kind of time out are you getting? Is it a portal time out? In this case you should consider that in you production system much more data may be read and that executing the planning sequences may take longer -> time out ...
    Hope this helps ...

  • WAD Manual Planning search help

    Dear all,
    i have a manual planning scenario, i am entering functional location and quantity.
    When i open up search help for funct.loc, i only want to see the key and text for the funct.loc.
    Is it possible to modify that search help? or make it shows only key and text
    Thanks

    thats correct,
    however i have created my infoobject reference to 0funct_loc, therefore it does not give me option to modify my custom object.

  • How to find what planning sequences/functions update data in a cube?

    Hi, Experts:
    We have a real time cube being updated by planning sequences/functions. How can I find what planning sequences/functions are updating this cube?
    Thanks,
    Jenny

    Hi,
      You can go the transaction code: rsa1 and then select "Meta data Repository" option on the left side.
    You can use Meta data repository to view the dependent objects for a infocube or any other BW object.
    In your case, you can select "Infocube" option on the left side and then go on selecting your infocube.
    Now you will get all dependent objects created on this infocube, which will include your plannign functions also.
    Refer top the following link for more details on "Meta data Repository",

  • 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

  • What are the differences between Essbase and Planning?

    What are the differences between Essbase and Planning?

    Planning is an enterprise application built around the Essbase OLAP engine.
    You can create planning applications with Essbase only, but Planning uses best practises and has built-in enterprise features.

  • 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
    <b>SAP Reply</b>    28.11.2005 20:46:07      SAP AG
    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".
