Does planning layouts need aggregates?

Hi all;
I have a debate with one of my co-worker about the need of aggregates in a cube for the sake of planning layouts. My understanding is we need aggregates to uptimize the reporting performance faster. But he is saying that for SEM trans cubes, we need aggregates for planning layouts. I thoughts when they write the data into planning layouts it writes into the cubes not into the aggregates directly and when we do the rollup then we maintained the aggregates with those new data.
Am I wrong or he is wrong? anyone...pls...because of this reason we have huge number of aggregates into the trans cubes.
thanks.

Hi,
Can any one clarify my doubts.
1. In which table the document data will store when you maintain documents in the Planning Layout?
2. Will documents get copied from one version to another version when we do version copy?
3. If yes (document will get copied when we do version copy)what if you want to maintain separate document for each version?
4. What is the procedure when you want to print your documents along with the report?
Could you please any one help me out I need the answers very very urgently.
Thanks,
Kiran

  • Need a help regarding planning layout

    Hi,
    I am designing a planning layout in OPO1. I have defined a column for Cost Eelemnt and next four columns with Period and Fiscal years, for these each column in the header line, i typed "&$1". Also created a Total Forecasted column for the sum of these four columns. While Saving the layout getting error as "Text variable &$1 has an invalid replacement rule." When checked the message, under procedure it says "If you want the replacement to occur as specified, you must define the missing characteristic in the layout. Otherwise enter a characteristic which has already been selected."
    It would be great, if any one can tell about defining the missing characteristics in steps.

    Hi Sampath,
                    Planning layouts are basically used for planning the costs, here you can define user defined layouts ana assign the same to planner profile..
    after that, you can default the planner profile KPO4 and run the t-code CJR2 to plan the costs.
    Basically it is used for cost planning

    Iam working with BI7.0. I have real time cube (daily sales) and user need to access and update/add records accordingly.
    So for this real time cube I have to create planning layout with the data. User can see that data and update/add.
    I dont how to create planning layout (i heared that rsplan) how to show the data.
    Also I need some help on ABAP, I need to map some fields from a table.
    Actually from a flat file iam uploading data into ODS. In ODS has 3 more extra infoObjects.
    Ex: Shopping mall code, tenent number and outlet number info i have to pick contract number from table with routine and pass that contact number into ODS one field. It means Contact number will not come from flat file, thats what need table and routine.
    So for that I have to create one table (SE11) with all the information. and i have write routine.
    I have to read flat file 2 fields( like A and B) and check the value in a table and get the value C and put into ODS one field. I have to do this with routines.

    Hi Anil,
    If you go to RSPLAN there you can go to Portal link (it must be configured properly in system)
    In portal there will be wizard where you can easily go step by step and create planning functions and sequences like below:
           1.      You choose the appropriate InfoProvider.
           2.      You create one or more aggregation levels.
           3.      You create one or more filters.
           4.      You create one or more planning functions.
           5.      You create a planning sequence.
           6.      You test the planning model.
    which is clearly explained in below link
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/43/1d2440301a06f4e10000000a422035/frameset.htm
    after doing this you can create a query on aggregates you have created above and then make query input ready i.e planning enabled for keyfigures you want like mentioned in below link:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/43/1d023a41130bd5e10000000a422035/frameset.htm
    then you can run query in Analyzer and save it as a work book after proper drilldown which can be used as template.
    Hope you understood basic thing, as you going on doing u will know clearly every thing.

  • Key figure flag in the planning layout

    Hi,
    Can anyone explain the importance of the key figure flag in the planning layout?
    Regds
    Pavan.

    Hi Arun and  Zegion,
    Thank you for your responses.
    Arun, I do not have any aggregates on the cube. I changed the aggregate properties of the Key Figure from SUM to Minimum. this has solved my problem temporarily.
    the reason I am saying temporarily because this is a SAP delivered InfoObject. This is for the datasource 0CO_PC_PCP_01. When I read through the documents, it said, SUMMation for Aggregation and Last value for "Exception Aggregation" will display the value of KF as the last value and does not add them up.
    Since this wasn't the happening in my query, I changed the Aggregation from SUM to Minimum.

  • Retreive the values from a user Input Popup before planning layout

    Hi all,
    The user run a planning layout and is coming the popup where he can choose :
    Cost Center
    Currency .
    Is there any function module between executing the popup and showing the layout.
    I have to create a function module to check the entries of the users.
    Regards

    Frank,
    There are multiple ways to ensure that the values entered by the users are valid. A few of them are:
    1. Restrict values for users with in SEM planning area.
    2. Write custom code to restrict values in dropdown list.
    3. Another  way of doing it is by using two sets of variables. One for input by users and the other for passing the values in the planning level. The user would enter a value, the code for passing the value to the planning level, would check the data entered and then either pop up an error message or refresh the layout with the data.
    As mentioned, the approach would depend on the specfic need and the design of the planning application.

  • New Empty Rows in Planning Layout

    Hi All
    I am having a bit of a rough time with 2004S and planning layouts. In order to test that I am not doing something stupid (which is fairly likely) I have created a simplified model (IC, Aggr Level etc etc) with which to prototype.
    I have an InfoCube with the following structure:
    Char: Company     ZCH_KCO 
          Job         ZCH_JOB 
          Plan Item   0SEM_POSIT 
          Value Type  0VTYPE 
          Version     0VERSION 
    KeyF: Amount      0AMOUNT 
    Time: Fisc Per    0FISCPER 
          Fisc Var    0FISCVARNT 
    Unit: Curr Key    0CURRENCY
    I have defined my Aggregation Level in the Planning Modeler to include all the InfoObjects in the InfoCube. I have not defined a Filter on this Aggregation Level.
    I then created a Query to include all the characteristics in the Rows and the Key Figure in the Column.
    Last, but not leats, I popped it into a Web Template where I assigned the Query to an Analysis Web Item and I set the "Number of New Lines" attribute to 10.
    When I execute it, I get the following [rather comprehensively documented] error message appearing at the top of the report:
    "No new row or column added because not all characteristics have a key cell"
    Anyone got any ideas?
    Cheers - D

    Hi Daneel,
    I have not experienced the error you mention but have managed to get input-ready planning queries to work, so I will offer a couple of suggestions:
    1. Make sure that your key figure is marked as being input ready ("can be changed" on the Planning property tab)
    2. Values need to be uniquely defined to be input ready.  Try putting restrictions on your characteristics to refine the data.  Eg. put value type, version etc.. in the filter area and restrict them - put only the Plan item in the rows.
    3. Make sure you do not have zero suppression enabled on rows and column structures.
    Also, refer to this help section which may be useful:

  • Planning Layout for Activities

    Good morning gurus,
    my need today is the following:
    I have a dummy activity type with a price manually planned on a dummy cost center
    I have quantities to plan on wbs elements
    I have a planne margin valid for one year
    I want to insert in the planning layout this margin (as statistical key figure or i don't know...)
    Eg:
    - Activity tipe PreConfig01 with planned price 10.000,00u20AC on Cost center Offset_Plan
    - Planned quantities are 10 on WbeXX and 20 on WbeYY
    - My yearly planned margin for 2011 is 20%
    - When i use Tcode CJR2 with layout 1-702 i would obtain 120.000,00u20AC and 240.000,00u20AC as result of my planning, instead of 100.000,00u20AC and 200.000,00u20AC that i get now.
    Does anybody know how can i customize the layout using skf or formulas?
    I don't want to hardcode the margin as a formula in the layout; i want to maintain it as master data in order to easily update it every year.
    Thanks in advance,
    Enrico

  • Pre-emption in planning layouts (WebInterfaces)

    Very honoured colleagues and colleagues,
    during the use of a planning-layout within a WebInterface the following need of us was near-carried - perhaps someone has an idea from this round regarding realization:
    A planning-layout (type 'characteristic numbers in data columns') is developed dynamically by the user and filled with (actual) data. I.e. if necessary lines are produced added ('push button f. new line =rue'). The user gives here for example to attach at 10 new lines. From the Workaround it proceeds numerous user in such a way that you fill the three characteristics in the key columns ascending (for example. only if the “date is registered” in each line, then the “manufacturer”, then the “product-line”) before afterwards the quantity / piece data in the data columns is equipped.
    Evenly this user wish themselves a Design, in which during (inadvertent) operation of the enter key (or press ‘actualization’) the lines are deleted not immediately, in which the key columns filled however still no data in the data columns were deposited.
    Us came into sense that we one of the data columns (here ‘number of vehicles’), which usually anyway with „1 “ one fills in the moment, in which new lines are attached with „1 “ to reserve.
    Is someone admits whether and /or how can such a logic to be established? Or does someone have an alternative idea, how automatic eliminating of these lines can be excluded?
    Our system-data:
    Unsere SAP-Systemdaten:

    SEM-BW, Release 400, Patchlevel 0014

    Hi Cornelia,
    I want to know, how to avoid, that new lines (which are added by the user) will NOT be deleted even there are only data in the key-columns and no data in the data-columns.
    Within the standard-adjustments every (new) line will be deleted by press the enter-button or refresh-button if there are no data in the data-column.
    So there is one idea we will default fill (preallocate) ONE data-column with "1", so it is not possible to kill the lines without delete explicit the former (default-)entry.
    But I don't know how to establish such an automatic-function, with produce such default-entries only by press the button "new line"...
    Maybe this idea isn't quite clever and somebody has a better idea...
    Regards

  • ERROR in BPS Planning layout

    Anyone got a clue??
    We have characterstic txt. values exceeding 20 characters - resulting in an error in the BPS planning layout: <i>Characteristic value not valid</i>.
    The planning layout only takes 20 characters - need it to take more - we have characteristic values with 30 char length. What can we do?
    John

    Hi Mike,
    Thank U for your response - The masterdata is maintained and the planning layout in question has been working before. We just recently upgraded to BW 3.5 and then masterdata characteristics with value exeeding 20 characters the planning layout does not recognize. This results in an invalid error statement.
    Is there a SAP Note that can handle this or do I have to make an OSS?

  • Can Plan Layout in Muse be carried through to a site's folder structure when hosted on a 3rd party site?

    I've reworked a site in Muse (desktop version only, at this stage).  Some of my pages in the old site had very high organic search results in Google, so I need to keep the file structure of the new site the same.  Since I published the Muse version of my site a few days ago, the number of visitors has literally dropped to just 10% of what it usually is!
    Muse seems to create only a flat site (all pages are created directly in the root folder only), and the Plan structure in Muse does NOT carry through to the file structure of the site when published with "Upload to FTP host" .   I am concerned that the Plan layout is only concerned with menu auto-fill functionality, and does not reflect any physical structure.   
    Any solutions?  Am I doing something wrong, or is this a limitation of Muse?
    Many thanks.

  • Not able to view layout in Enhance planning layout UPX_MNTN

    I have created a new layout in BPS0 . In the planning level, i have included User exit variable.
    I selected the planning area in UPX_MNTN. However in Enhance planning layout, i could not see the layout, i had created in BPS0.
    Do i need to do any other settings to view in UPX_MNTN ?

    HI Ravindra,
              I was in the same boat. I had assigned an exit variable in one of the  layout. It was not able to execute the layout till runtime, and that is the reason it doesn't come to Planning services.
            In short, planning services will show when all your variable values are getting populated before layput execution.
            I have another issue, where I want to populate brand based on selected products from CRM. I am unable to accomplish this. Please let me know, if you get any response.
    Thanks and Regards,

  • Display multiple combination of values all at a time in the planning layout

    Hi,
    we are on BW 3.0B and SEM 3.1B. We've 2 characteristics "COUNTRY" and "CONTINENT" in planning level and package.
    in the planning layout, we had placed "CONTINENT" in the lead columns and "COUNTRY" in the header are and COUNTRY is hidden.
    Now, when we execute the layout for CONTINENT values "EUROPE and AFRICA" and COUNTRY values "GERMANY and SAFRICA".
    output of the layout is as follows for country GERMANY
    CONTINENT Value
    EUROPE 123
    EUROPE 234
    EUROPE 456
    as COUNTRY is in header, we need to scroll down (use down and upper arrows) to get values for next country SAFRICA combination of CONTINENT "AFRICA" in the layout as follows
    CONTINENT value
    AFRICA 342
    AFRICA 267
    AFRICA 768
    How do we get the layout to display both AFRICA and EUROPE in the same page without a need to use arrows as follows
    CONTINENT Value
    EUROPE 123
    EUROPE 234
    EUROPE 456
    AFRICA 342
    AFRICA 267
    AFRICA 768
    the only solution, i can think of is move COUNTRY from header to lead columns. But, we have a need to keep COUNTRY in the header area. I doubt if we can achieve this, but i have some hope as COUNTRY is a hidden field in the header area which we can take advantage of.
    any help is greatly appreciated.
    thanks

    Hi Marc,
    yes. there u go. my name is hari.
    thanks for your reply. sorry to confuse you. earlier, I just took a random example. Now, I am giving my problem in a more realistic way.
    we have cube data as follows
    Code Area Group Price
    ABCD EUR 111 20USD
    ABCD USA 222 30USD
    Code, Area, Group are not attributes of each other.
    we have a planning folder with variables for "Code" and "Area" with an input layout that has "Code and Group" in the header and "Area" in the lead columns.
    after we execute folder, if we enter values "ABCD" for variable "Code" and variable range "EUR to USA" for "Area", current layout is as follows
    ======
    Header
    ======
    Code : ABCD
    Group: 111  (not visible as Group is hidden in the header area of layout)
    ======
    Layout
    ======
    Area Price
    EUR  20USD
    for next combination, if we use down arrow to scroll down to Group 222, layout is as follows
    ======
    Header
    ======
    Code : ABCD
    Group: 222  (not visible as Group is hidden in the header area of layout)
    ======
    Layout
    ======
    Area Price
    USA  30USD
    we are interested to see all "areas" for Code ABCD irrespective of "Group" as follows.
    if we enter "ABCD" for Code and "EUR to USA" for "Area" variables, we need to have layout
    ======
    Header
    ======
    Code : ABCD
    ======
    Layout
    ======
    Area Price
    EUR  20USD
    USA  30USD
    this might also work out for us.
    ======
    Header
    ======
    Code : ABCD
    ======
    Layout
    ======
    Area Price Group
    EUR  20USD 111
    USA  30USD 222
    How do i achive this? we have a need to keep Group in the header area of the layout to get data from other source.
    hope it is clear.
