Documentation in planning books

Hi
We're looking into building a new planning book, and we would like to provide some help and documentation for the users.
Is there a way to either supply information inside the planning book or perhaps just link to an external website from inside a planning book?
I've looked into macro popups with info but they seem rather limited. I was also thinking if we could do some custom application help since that links to htmlhelp already But i'm not sure it's possible to provide custom help in that way.
Anyone know a way to achieve this?

I think what it means is that if you go to the dataview tab in the Planning book design you can see a field called Initial Column.
If you use initial column you will be able to add all the buckets in the period previous to the first future period. Its not necessarily last year but previous periods.
(though i dont understand what you menat by seeing actual using 000 version)
It makes more sense in an SNP planning book for a KF like Stock
as the help says...
"The initial column covers the time span from 1970 until the beginning of the first future period minus 1 second. The data is read from a key figure that is stored in liveCache orders or liveCache time series. However, you can also populate this column with data using a macro, such as has been done with the Initial stock key figure in the standard Supply Network Planning data view.
Enter one of the following values:
Blank - No initial column
L - The initial column is displayed on the far left of the table.
R- The initial column is displayed on the far right of the table.
C - The initial column is displayed between the past planning horizon and the future planning horizon."

Previous year figures in planning book

Hi all,
I want to show the previous year figures in the planning book.
According the help documentation of planning books it must be possible to add actual data and previous year figures (Demand Planning - Demand Planning Process - Planning book design - Planning book: "Add rows containing actual data from the current year and/or the previous year").
Actual data is easy by refering to 000 version. But how can I add previous year data?
Thanks for your help

Hello Debadrita,
Function Module BAPI_PBSRVAPS_GETDETAIL2 or BAPI_PBSRVAPS_GETDETAIL can help you.
For BAPI BAPI_PBSRVAPS_GETDETAIL, the parameters are:
1) PLANNINGBOOK - the name of your planning book
2) DATA_VIEW - name of your data view
3) KEY_FIGURE_SELECTION - list of key figures you want to read
4) SELECTION - selection parameters which describe the attributes of the data you want to read (e.g. the category or brand). This is basically a list of characteristics and characteristic values.
BAPI_PBSRVAPS_GETDETAIL2 is very similar to BAPI_PBSRVAPS_GETDETAI but is only available from SCM 4.1 onwards.
For the complete list of parameters, you can go to transaction SE37, enter the function module names above and check out the documentation.
Please post again if you have questions.
Hope this helps.

How to upload flat file in planning book

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to upload flat file(e.g xls, csv) in planning book against key figures(e.g forecast) in some characteristics level(e.g brand, sku etc)?
Is it possible to have screen shots or path to follow?

Hi
Yes you can upload the excel files or flat files in APO planning area. APO planning area is made of characteristics and key figures. All the characteristic information is mainly available in Infoobject. You can upload these excel files in infobojects which will than reflect in planning book. Please find the detail information regarding APO BW building blocks.
http://help.sap.com/bp_scmv250/BBLibrary/documentation/DPL_BB_ConfigGuide_EN_DE.doc
Please go through the section 2. Setting up APO BW which will tell you all the details steps.

Secure APO Planning book by location

Hello All - I am hoping you can help me. I have been trying to find a way to secure updates to a shared planning book in DP by Sales-Org. The Sales-Org in our environment is a "navigational attribute" and not a "characteristic". I tried creating a custom object using RSSM to no avail. I found some documentation that said you could use a user exit or BAdi method "SELECTION CHECK' (/SAPAPO/SDP_SELECTOR) to run additional authorization checks. I need to know whether this method could be used to secure a _Navigational Attribute?_ If so, what information do I need to provide to the developer to implement this exit?

Hi,
You would be able to tackle this partially by adding a new hidden key figure.
Refer the example below;
Kfig1. Stat forecast: Calculated using stat forecasting
Kfig2. Adjusted forecast: user normally changes this
Kfig3. Hidden copy of Adjusted forecast:
Using macros copy 1st snap shot of stat forecast to Adjusted and Hidden. once adjustments are done, use Macro to compare Adjustments and Hidden copy of original values, or this can be a overnight batch job to generate alerts
Hope this helps.

Hi Srinivas!
Where did you get your implementation from?
It would be nice if you could debug your code!
For the F4 method, have you seen this note?

Also check this note. It contains selection modifications in the BAdI:

Upload data from Excel to the Planning Book

We are on APO 5.1. We have APO DP at the moment. I wanted to test upload of data from Excel to the planning book. I have tried several times. I have been unable to see any changed data in the planning. I do not get ANY errors during the upload. But I cannot see any changes that I made in the excel in the planning book. Please let me know what I am doing wrong. These are the step that I follow.
1. Go to planning book.
2. Short list only one key figure e.g Customer Forecast.
3. Go into Details All mode.
4. Download the file using the "Prepare File for Upload" option.
5. Open the saved Excel.
6. Change the values in the excel , save and close.
7. Upload the excel into the planning book using the upload file option.
I do not get any errors during all these steps. However, when I check to see if the values have been updated, the changes made in the excel are not updated in the planning book.

Hello,
Instead of selecting one key figure in data view, please select all key figures of the planning book and then try all the steps which you have carried out.
please revert after you carry out this.

Prafulla

Key figure display in planning book with respect to Time bucket profile

Hi,
I am loading a key figure to planning area from the info cube for the current month. When I review the key figure in planning book with monthly time bucket profile it shows 85 for the current month. In the same planning book with weekly bucket profile, it shows 55 from the current week and future weeks and the remaining 30 goes into the past weeks of the current month.
How to make the total quantity 85 to show in the current and future weeks only.
thanks and regards
Murugesan

Hi Murugesan,
Within the Planning Area, the data is stored at the lowest level granularity that you maintain in storage bucket profile. Then during display, system will decide what data to show depending on what kind of time bucket profile you use in the planning view, and the time based disaggregation that you maintain for Key Figure.
In this below case, what time characteristic do you have in cube? Is it date, week or month?
If it's date, check how much KF data is maintained on the dates which belong to week which has days both in this month/last month e.g. if I talk about Dec 2011, how much data is stored 1,2,3 & 4 th of Dec, 2011.
This data would appear in Dec in monthly view, but in week, it would appear in the week starting 28th November.
If data is maintained in cube in weeks, then you need to calculate how time based disaggregation would show it to you in months.
If it's months, then you would need to find out how much data would go to the days in the past week of the month.
The time based disaggregation may be causing you some issues, but in that case, I would not expect 30 out of 85 to go in the past week, unless you have data in cube in days.
Data shown in weekly view for week starting 28th Nov should ideally be a small proportion of 85, unless you are using a time stream/fiscal year variant, due to which most of December is in holidays. The only other exception I can think of is that you have data in teh days mentioned above.
It would be best to help the business understand this disaggregation logic, rather than thinking of manipulating the data to shift to a later week.
If this logic doesn't explain your situation, then please provide the date/week/month at which you have data in cube, and what quantity.
Thanks - Pawan

Excel upload data to planning book not working

Hello Gurus,
i have checked the online resources first before posting this thread here as this is most old topic relating to upload of excel data to planning book key figures.
Here is what i have done so far
1) from the planning book, i chose a view and downloaded the file to desktop and saved it as CSV. i populated the key figure values and saved the csv file as-is back to desktop
2) i had to remove the hdeader from the file as APO threw back an error that it could not interpret the period (header) as the number
3) when i took out the header i simply pasted the values and the file was ok
4) i went to planning book, loaded the file, checked the file and it said that the data was read and i clicked on upload the file
5) everything was green, then but i do not see the values in the grid of the planning book
what else i'm missing.
can someone please help me
thanks
Ravi

Hello DB and Ada. Thank you for your valuable suggestions. I know i might be missing something silly here. If i keep the header that i downloaded from the planning book into csv file, i get an error while uploading the file back to planning book that unable to interpret 11/2014 as a number.
P11/2014 is the header, Period 11/2014 is the fiscal period. we plan in fiscal periods.
if i take out the header from the csv file and just populate the key figure values, then i do not get any error when i load the file back to planning book, but then the values do not show up in the planning book grid.
i'm keeping the planning book in the change mode while uploading the file as i got that error saying that i need to keep the planning book in change mode for the file to load data properly to planning book.
Thanks
Ravi

Meaning of CONDET key figure in standard 9ASNP94 APO SNP planning book

I am trying to clarify the use and meaning of the CONDET (capacity consumption details) key figure in the SAP standard SNP planning book 9ASNP94.
Any advice appreciated...

Hi Frank,
This indeed is practical requirement wih no simple solution ( at least we did not find).
We created a background job for deletion of the stocks ( which were updated through IDOCs like your situation) at specific periodicity. The jobs were made as per planners with specific variants and when planner would like to delete the stocks, the job will be run.
Another option could to be copy the standard program /SAPAPO/RLCDELETE to a module program and check validation at the input screen, before calling the deletion program.

How to create a custom Button in a SNP planning book

Hi Experts,
I created my own Planning Book and Dataview in SNP with 3 Key Figures: KF1, KF2, KF3. Now I want to create one my own button with Macro so that when I press that button, the Macro will run to calculate: KF3 = KF1 + KF2.
I know that I can drag this Macro to one of default events like: Default, Level Change, Start. But actually, I want to create my own button so that I can handle the event as I want.
My question are:
1. How to create a custom button on the toolbar of SNP Planning book and writing macro for the button?
2. Please give me any document, material teaching about writing macro and relating to my above scenario.
Thanks very much!
Duyennx

Hi,
Access the transaction "/n/sapapo/advm". In the list select your planning book/ data view and click 'Start Macro Builder' button.
In the Macro builder screen, drag and drop your macro from Macro depot to the work area.
Right click on your macro name and select 'properties'. In the pop up, next to the Assigned Push button field, there is a button 'Choose'. Click that. It will display all the available icons. In standard system, it displays more than 1000 icon. Choose any one icon which is suitable for your macro function. Close the pop up and save the macro. This will assign a push button to your macro.
In the Planning book tool bar, you can see the selected icon in the header tool bar. Just by clicking that icon, you can execute the macro interactively.
And I don't know whether we can include/design our own icon. But there are already 1000+ standard icons to choose.

Manimaran M.

How can I see the MAD results in my planning book

Hello Gurus:
I'm setting up some statistical models in APO DP and running some test data through them. How can I see the results of the MAD to verify if the models are calculating correctly? I was hoping I can see the monthly MAD values in a key figure in my planning book?
Does anyone know?
Andrea

Hello Andrea,
As far as I know, I don't think there's a standard key figure or macro could acheive this.
MAD or other errors in forecast are not saved as time series, so I don't know why you want to see them as time series.
You can see the forecast errors in forecast result screen, and if you push comparision button, you can see forecast errors for several last runs.
But I don't know how to put these value into planning book, unless you want to apply your own logic ...
Best Regards,
Ada
