Error changing work status in EPM Addin

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to change the working status for a category and a specific period.
    However in doing so the system is generating error
    Failed in checking status in control
    Failed or unexecuted control sets exist in your data region
    I'm doing this from Excel client, option EPM tab, save data, change work status.
    Working state has already configured in the Web Administrator
    That I can do to fix this error?
    Thank you for your help
    Regards,
    Guillermo

Hi all,
According to what the 1795953 note says and thread sent by Dinesh,
the problem is some of the Entity members are not part of the Group selection on Ownership settings. This is the configuration that I have for the entity
    I'm trying to change the work status for the item Org_so, who is the parent of the other.
    I have another question, what is the relationship between the controls and work status,
    if controls have not been executed you can not change work status?
    Best regards,
    Guillermo

Package Log - Error checking work status

Hi, Experts,
We are using SAP BPC 10 NW.
When we run a package manually it is ok. But when we include it at package link (with the same prompt) and run it, we received error message (Error checking work status). Look at the log below:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
/CPMB/MODIFY finished in 0 seconds
/CPMB/ALLOCATION_LOGIC finished in 449 seconds
/CPMB/CLEAR finished in 0 seconds
[Selection]
SELECTION = /CEREAL/EXPENSE/PRIVATEPUBLICATIONS/BPCADMINBIP/TempFiles/FROM.TMP@@@SAVE@@@@@@EXPAND@@@|DIMENSION:CATEGORY|PROJETADO,REVISAO|DIMENSION:ENTITY|CC_11

Error checking work status
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
There is no work status activity at REVISAO and PROJETADO category members at this model.
Would anybody help us to understand what is happening?

1945016 - "Error checking work status" when executing package
Symptom
There is "Error checking work status" in the status log after executing clear package:/CPMB/CLEAR.
Environment
SAP BusinessObjects Planning and Consolidation, version 10 for SAP NetWeaver
Reproducing the Issue
Run clear package:/CPMB/CLEAR
Set check work status when clearing as YES. ("CHECKLCK"=YES)
Check detail status log
CauseWork status is not set or not found for the "to be cleared" data.
Resolution
Try to change the work status of the data in EPM and check if system pops up with "work status not found".
If yes, check in work status table (you can get the table name by running program UJ0_GET_GEN_TABNAME) if there is default work status assigned.
If yes, check UJW_STATCODE table in SE16, incase the line which contain field ORDERN=0 is missing, run program: UJW_UP_INSERT_0_STATE to insert this line.

Error checking work status

Dear ALL,
I'm working on SAP BPC 10.0 NW version.
So, I'm launching a script logic for a particular company, actually working on the currency translation but unfortunately I got an error "Error checking work status".
I did enable the Work Status in my model, and I did also put 2 Controls in it. But, I'm very sure the 2 Controls are all pass which I could also see the same from Control Monitor.
Any part which I could have missed out or any steps I have to work on in order to skip the error?
BR,
Antony

Hi Antony
Finally the problem was bigger than I thought; the user uploaded data from previous period and it’s affected the currency conversion, because it is configured at periodic way
The access member profile for each group was configured wrongly, too
We fix this point and the currency conversion and the work status pass OK
Thank for your time answer its

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.

Changing Work Status using data package or script logic

Is it possible to set Work Status using Script logic, or an SSIS package.
I know status is kept is an SQL table, is it possible to just update the locking table with a new record, or is there more to changing the work status.
Thanks for you help

Thanks for your reply. This would be a nice enhancement.
Although the work status does help with the audit trail of who and what locks the data, doing it automatically will allow the system to automatically unlock the period when it is opened before auto-loading the current closing balances. It will need to be carefully used in order to maintain proper audit trail of the data. When done automatically, the system userid would be used in the lock table witha timestamp.
I am needing to know if there are anyother steps involved in locking data other than writing to the SQL lock table. Is usppose this is especailly relevant when locking a parent and pushing the status to the children.

Change work status behavior

Hello,
I would like to change the work status behavior of my application to Top Down.
Does someone know how I can change this ?
Thanks,
Mathieu

Hi Mathieu,
You need to set a parameter named TOPDOWN.
This defines how to handle approval of work status. If TopDown, work status is approved no matter if sub-work status is approved or not. If BottomUp, work status can be approved only if all sub-work statues are approved.
Note: When you change the value of this parameter, existing work status information is removed.
The valid value for this parameter is Yes/No.
Hope this helps.

Badrish

Work status

Hi Gurus,
I am trying to design security for users. For users who can approve the plan i am setting the authorizations with task profile as "set work status". But when user logs in to BPC web to change the work status, The data region is either blank/white screen. The user is not able to proceed to next step.
I have maintained owner dimension also. But when gave user authrizations as secondary sys admin + lockings user is able to see the data region and proceed to next step.
My question with only set work status authorization can user change the status? or user needs to have secondary system admin + locking tasks assigned to complete status change.
Regards,
Reddy.

I'm pretty sure that users can be owner of a work status node, even if they have read-only (not write) access to that node. This is easy enough for you to test; just change the member access profile for that one user, and see if it solves the problem.
But I suspect it won't solve it.
You say that users with secondary admin rights can change work status, which means you have most f the setup (at the application and dimension levels) correct. There must be something about these users, or their task profiles, or their member access profiles, or the assignment to them of the OWNER property of the drive dimension, which is not correct.
Make sure you double-check all these, and then process all the dimensions in the application & process the application itself. It's a bit of looking for a needle in the haystack, but there must be something that's not correct. The fact that it works for other users means that you're very close.

Blank work status setting page

Hi,
I did a backup of an appset from bpc 5.1 and restored it in bpc 7.0 MS.
i have done all the security changes, changed the database name in the "owner" category in the "entity" dimension accordingly but i still can't bring up the work status changing page.
after i clicked on "set workflow (approval status)", i was brought to a web page, but it just shows a blank action pane. back in 5.1, this would be where you use "active cv" or "another cv"
i noticed a new column in work status settings, i.e. base hierarchy. and there's a default of "1" to all my work status dimensions. Does this have anything to do with my missing work status action pane?
any idea? thanks in advance.
cheers

Hi Shyam,
thanks for your reply, sorry that i can dedicate points to you. i thought by unmarking my question as a question, i can delete my question, but unfortunately it stayed in the sdn forum.
it turned out to be a rookie mistake of not assigning the right users to the application set, after i did an appset restoration in a new server. i also should have assigned the task profile of "change work status" to the relevant users.
thanks for your help again.
cheers

Update work status over multiple categories, periods etc...

A customer of mine discussed the work status update procedure. In BPC 4.2, you could, via the webpage, select a list of entities with multiple time periods and then update them all at once.
This would come in handy for instance if you need to set the status for the budget for instance and you need to update 12 periods all at once.
Now in v5 and up, the work status update function has not greatly improved from what it was. Customers need to update multiple categories (for instance if they close category with corporate P&L, another category , for instance the divisional P&L should also be automatically closed for further input by updating the work status) or you may want to update selected entities (that in the some cases not always follow the exact hierarchy depending on how internal responsabilities are organized)
In short, the functionality of updating work status is very limited when you need to do more than just one entity at a time.
I was wondering what solutions exist in the field as a work around to this issue ? I can think of several, but i want to understand what options the customer has.
I hope you can come up with creative ideas.
Thank you
Edwin van Geel

Hi Edwin,
I agree with you that the web UI for changing work status can be very tedious -- of course the push-to-children is a huge time-saver over updating 12 months (or 150 cost centers) one by one. But it would be so much nicer if we had an EVUWS or whatever, to be able to do this in a customized layout from Excel.
For many of my projects, this work status update is the only time users ever go over to the web UI, and everything else is in Excel. (Correct, I'm not a big BPF fan either.)
I haven't ever tried a custom SP to change work status. Not many things scare me, but this one scares me a little bit.
I've used data retrieved from tblFinanceLock to only allow other custom data mgmt routines (imports, exports, etc.) to run if the lock status is appropriate. It's a lot of work to get right, particularly if you want to allow something to proceed (like an export) ONLY if the entire node (and all its dependants) are locked.

Work status for selected members

Hi,
While changing work status for a combination of category, entity, time: Is it possible to select multiple entity dimension members?
For eg, I can choose an entity member and include its children as well. However, is it possible to choose only some of the children members while setting the work status?
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Purnima

I don't think it is possible. I tried to select multiple entities via the show filter function, for example to filter all entities with currency EUR. This generates a list of 2 entities in apshell, but when I click OK it does not pass the 2 entities to the workstatus box because this can only contain one value. In the end this value is picked up for locking.

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 error

Hi gurus,
When i`m implementing the work status when i lock a data region and i try to send data instead of receive a message like "this data region has submitted work status" i received and error message that says "Error when try to check work status".
It doesn't allow me to send data but when i try to open the region via BPC for web to change the work status it shows me an incorrect current work status.
Anyone has the same problem
Thanks in advance.

Hello eljosetxu,
This may be related to some problem in UJW_STATCODE table.
In this table, you should see in STATUS colums an indentifier number for the work state and an sequential number in column ORDERN (for each apset) starting in 0.
The other columns will show what you have defined during work status configuration where 0 is manager, 1 is owner and 2 means both.
In table /1CPMB/LKWS<APPSET_PREFIX><APPL_PREFIX> you can check what is the SATUS for each locked intersections and compare.
As far as I know, the numbers in ORDERN must be sequential. Confirm that the column STATUS for the data region in the LKWS* and UJW_STATCODE tables are the same.
Hope it helps! Let me know what you'we found

What coding did you use for fixing this?

Hi Pete,
The full text message: Inconsistent characteristic value assignment
Message no. C1821
In diagnosis it is telling that "You want to change the value assigned to a characteristic. However, the change causes inconsistency, so the new value is not allowed."
Actually I am just changing the status of the document. I am not changing any characteristic value.
Actually it is appearing as information message. but while saving it pop up and not allowing to save.
Please do the needful.
