Displaying current work status in BPC Excel report

Hi All,
Could any of you tell me how do we retrive the current work status that has been set for a particular application on to a Excel?
We would get this in BPC WEB reports, but we are lookin gto display it in excel itself.
Does EVLCk function have any link with this?
can any one share the details of list of EV functions that can be used in BPC 7.0.
Regards,
Swetha

Hi Swetha-
SAP Note 1348997 "BPC NW 7.0 SP03 Work Status Explanation" provides a detailed PowerPoint deck that explains the specifics around Work Status. Please note slide #39 and the mention of EVLCK.
A few additional notes that may be of interest:
EVLCK became available to SAP BPC 70 NetWeaver with SP02 (pls review SAP note 1310443, as well as the "BPC 7.0 SP03 NW Documentation Updates" in Note 1349538).

Manage work status in BPC 7

Hi experts,
I would like to know if we can manage work status in bpc excel. I have see that we can use evlck to get the status of the work status and we can use MNU_esubmit_modify to open the bpcweb page to modify work status.
But I want to modify the workstatus in bpc excel.
Do you have any solution ? with macro or other ?
Thanks in advance

Dear Janeth Sarai Ripert,
I suggest you to update the work status using BPC Web. If you want to force it using macro, I will give you information likes as:
1. SAP BPC will write the work status data into the table "dbo.tblfinancelock". It's for Finance Application
2. If you want to directly write data into that table, please you use the uppercase format.
3. SAP BPC never update data when the user updated that work status. SAP BPC will create one record.
4. You only can update work status data directly but not for update sub menu at BPF
Thanks,

Work Status error BPC NW 7.5

Hi,
I am having some trouble with Work Status for BPC NW 7.5.
When trying to change status I always get same message: "Controlled by rule has been violated". I've tried with differente ussers and I am suer they have all rights necessary to change status but, there is no way.
Please help.
Thanks in advance,
Raul

We have already made all tasks related to Work Status:
1. Configuring Work Status u2013 Like Unlocked, Submitted and Approved
2. Enter the Owner property in dim Entity
3. Configure the work status setting at the application level: Entity as owner, Time and Category "YES"
4. Aplication Administration --> Define the hierarchy as H1. We have defined the hierarchy in Entity PANETH1 also
But still didn't work... as we though it should. We have gone through the Admisnitration manual for BPC NW75 and check everything again. Everythign was correct. But, we checked all appendix also. There is where SAP explains how is all working. In some stage, BPC thogh we were the manager (because of the Entity hierarchy structure) but our Work status was not define for a Manager (because we don't need it). We made a try with everything in BOTH and is Working!!! Cool.
We are going to adjust everythign to our requirements now. But, we now itiis working correctly.
Thank you very much for you help.

Launch specific BPC Excel Report/Input Schedule or BPF from Infoview

Hi all,
We would like to launch either a specific BPC for Excel report and/or input schedule, or link to a specific BPF from BOBJ Infoview (probably a Webi report).
Therefore is it possible to provide a url to Webi to do this?
This is BPC NW 7.5
Many thanks,
Andy

Hi you all,
we are dealing with the same problem in our project. Our customer is implementing BPC and wants the Excel input schedules to be launched from the same place where their current BI (BO) reports are stored. That's InfoView, or actually soon BI Launchpad 4.0.
Is it anyhow possible to launch a normal BPC Excel input schedule directly from InfoView/BI Launchpad? I tested a bit with OsCLD function with a published Input schedule, and using the link OsCLD returns as Launchpad hyperlink, it's possible to open the .xls file in Launchpad browser window. Of course, none of the BPC's own structures or functions are there so it's just a plain excel sheet, not an really input schedule... so I guess BPC for Excel must be running when opening them and that pretty much is the same as using them directly from the Excel UI. But it's not the solution the customer wants to use.
Their reason for using Launchpad is that they control user access to their current reporting with the InfoView folder structure and want to use the existing authorization this way for BPC planning too.
Any suggestions?
BR,
Andy

How to configure Work Status in BPC?

Hello everybody,
I have some problems with the hierarchy of work status control. I will explain it with a simple example.
I have 3 entities: A, B and C. A is B's parent, and B i C's parent.I have the status: Opened, submitted company, submitted subgroup, approved.
C is entering data with the status opened. When C finish, C change the status to submitted company. In that moment, C can´t enter more data because BPC desn´t let it. B's owner can enter data in C, but not C's owner.Ok, perfect.
Then B enter some data in C and change the status to submitted subgroup. In that moment, A can enter data in C but B continue being able to enter data too, and I would like that B couldn't enter data in C although A could.How can I configure this? Is it possible?
Thank you very much.

Hi Fernando,
The issue that you have is really familiar for me. We have exactly the same problem in a client a had.
As you explain, SAP BPC approval process have this problem. The conclusion is BPC approval process (Workstatus) only have 2 approval level, Owner and Manager.
Sorry but in your case when C have the power of introduce data, B could introduce data as well.
You should use reviewer option. Maybe with this functionality you can increment an approval level. For example C could be reviewer of each entity B is owner.
I expect my explanation solve your doubts

BPF an Work Status in BPC v10

Hi averybody,
I am working in a project of BPC v10 and i have a question i would like to solve. Specifically i want to know if the new version of SAP BPC allow you to associate a step of the BPF with a change of the work status strictly.
Does anybody know something concerning this item? Any additional information about new functionalities of BPF and work status?
Thanks in advance,

Hi
You can certainly do that. When you've created a set of work statuses and want to associate the work states to a BPF, you can associate with a setting for Related Action along with the Input you are providing to the suers (scrnsht below). I am not sure you can make it mandatory for the user to change work status setting, but you can allow a change in the work status.

Work Status Issues - BPC 10.0 NW

Hello,
I am having trouble changing a work status setting that is approved to open.
We have three settings, default, open, and approved. Approved has data loads locked to everyone. The other two are open to everyone.
Only a manager can modify the statuses. I am a technical support analyst so I have full access and can change any work status. However, when I look at the selection for the new status, all I see is approved. It will not let me choose another option. And this is for a specific company and month (June 2013). If I take that same company I can modify the closed status to open for other months and for the same company.
Status is set on company code and time.
Does closing at different hierarchies cause issues like this? Just not sure why I am unable to change it. Any thoughts?

Hi
When you need open a company code, make sure you open the parent node first and try to open individual company code.
You also need to populate the OWNER property for company code dimension.
thanks

BPC Excel Reporting

Hi all,
I want to plan for 2010 comparing 2009 actual. My understanding is using evdre function.
1. So 2009.MONTHs ACTUAL vs 2010.MONTHs PLAN
2. As 2009 data is actual, it would be brought from BW so the datasrc would be UPLOADED DATA. Whereas 2010 plan would be manual planning (datasrc u2013 MANUAL).
How to integrate both?
Thanks
BSV

Hi Bharath,
You can have Datasource included in your expansion. For example, if you want compare 2009.MONTHs, UPLOAD with 2010.MONTHs, MANUAL what can be done is to have COL expansion for Time, Datasrc. Specify Memberset for Time as BAS(2009.TOTAL),BAS(2010.TOTAL) and for DataSrc as UPLOAD.
Expand and then manually change the DataSrc for 2010.MONTHs as MANUAL. After this make the evdre static.
Hope this helps.

Shoba

Work status from the BPC for Excel interface

Hello everyone !
I got an issue on version 7.0M of BPC with WorkStatus. When i try to access to the work status from BPC the page won't load but i can access to it by the Web. Do you have any clue about that ?
It it the BPC server configuration ? The web site is with ASP2.0 is it an issue ?
Best regards,
Damien

The problem seems to be related to how you configured the BPC application and web server.
Just check table tblapsetinfo and tblserverinfo from database appserver to see if you have right configuration.
I mean if you have the same name (FQDN or IP) for both application server and web server.
Osoft virtual directory must work using .Net 1.1 no t2.0.

Work status custom report

Hi Gurus,
I have built a work status custom report. The user was able to change status. When i run my custom EVDRE report no values are retrived for status, user and date/time stamp columns. I am using simple
EVLCK function. I think something is blocking/filtering retrival of data.
Best Regards,
Suresh.

Hi Suresh,
I am looking for the functionality in which we can display the current work status in our BPC excel sheet.
Do you mean the same when u tell work status custom report.
My actual idea is to display the current work status to the user. If you are meaning the same... can you please let me know how have you built the custom report?

Change work status from Excel interfase directly

Hi,
Anyone knows if there is a way to change the work status directly from the Excel interfase? I mean, with vba code or some function instead of using the web interfase?
Thanks.
Regards

Hi.
I have the same need in MS. I would like to change work status directly from Excel but don´t know how to do it.
Can you please clarify about the program UJW_WS_TEST? I don´t know what is this (it probably is different in BPC MS 7.5?)
Thanks.

Unlocking work status

Hi,
We are implementing BPC 7.5 NW version and having SP04.
we have an Entity A (parent entity) and unerneath that we have two entities B and C.
In the Entity Dimension we have an owner peroperty in which for Entity A we gave a user (say Administrator as the owner) and for both Entity B and C we gave another user (say-BPcuser as the owner)
So the user Administrator of Enitity A is the owner of Entity A and he is also now the Manager for Enitity B and C.
After making these settings, when we try to modify work status through BPC for Excel it takes to BPC for WEB and in BPC for WEB we make the following selection.
Category-Actual
Entity- A
Time -2010.April
And in the next screen we are changing the satus from sUBMITTED to APPROVED ( TO lock the Data region) and save it.
Now when we input any data for this data we are getting Check work status settings.( which is our desired output)
However when we try to change the work status setting From Approved to Submitted (to unlock the data region) with the ID Administrator (i.e Owner of Parent Entity A) it is getting saved.However when we try to input the data it is still showing check the Work status settings.
So can you please suggest me how to unlock the work status settings now so that we can post the data for that data region.
Thanks,
Shankar.v

Hi,
If you are in a development system and if you want to delete all the locks on the data at one go......you could try reordering your work states (rearrange your last work state for example by moving it one step further up). You get a message on the screen that this will delete all the locks on the data....just confirm the message. You could change the order again back to the original order.
Above is only if you are working on a development system and for test if you want to delete all the existing locks at one go.
If your system wants only to unlock a specifc dataset, select the required members of the work state dimensions (refer to your appliation and work staus to know what the work status dimensions are for your application). Note, if your selection includes any parent member for a dimension current work status is not displayed.(This is again as per the work status set up in BPC that work status is stored at non-parent members).
Please let me know if you still have any issues in deleting the locks
