Freeze Header in BPS Planning Layout

Hi Experts,
Is there any option to freeze column headings in BPS Planning Sheet.
In one of our planning sheet there is more than 200 rows in excel sheet. Our business users required to freeze the column heading while scrolling through the layout. I know this possible in excel.
How we can implement this feature in BPS layouts.
Regards
Baby

Hi Bindhu,
Thank you for your answer. I just tried you suggestion and is working fine in SAP GUI.
But we are using these planning sheets in Web (EP 7.0). We cannot see any changes in web.
Is it possible on Web, if so what is the next step.
Regards
Baby

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?

Attachment in BPS Planning Layout

Hi,
The attachment option in the BPS planning template allows us to upload a file in System.
Can anyone help me how and where the file is stored? Is it in the cube or somewhere in KM

Hello Shailesh,
the documents are stored on the BW Server in KPRO (orange part):

BPS Planning Layout - Data Column issues

My basic question is: is it possible to configure a characteristic in the data column such that it contains a range of values, instead of just a single value. We have requirements to produce a series of comparison columns for things such as "Year-to-Date" (sum of a range of fiscal periods), "Prior 12 Months" (again, sum of a range of periods), and so forth. Unfortunately, the BPS layout configuration of data columns only allows you to specify a single characteristic value. If you configure it with a variable that contains the range, the system only uses the LOW value of the range, not the full range. The ability to provide such comparison columns is critical to our users' ability to see prior information and make a determination of new plan values for the plan year.
Any thoughts or suggestions on how I should approach this, or alternative approaches to take?

John,
This has been an issue with BPS since you can only display data columns of the granularity you specify rather than a range such as YTD similar to what you can do in BW restricted key figures.
The work around is to create and store the numbers in
1) YTD key figure in say fiscal year current year fiscal period current period and/or
2) Prior 12 months Key figure and store the number against fiscal year current year fiscal period # or first period period of the year...
Hope this helps and assign points if you found it useful.

Reporitng in Bex using the documents attached in the BPS Planning Layout

Hello Experts,
I am in the process of implemting document integration between BPS and BEX.
BPS document creation

But we are not able to see any documents created in BPS layout in Bex report.
The document link in the Bex opens a browser but could not see those documents attached in the BPS. Other documents created using the Bex are available.
I can see BPS documents in the Document workbench.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi Jeroen,
my guess is that it has to do with the local Excel version. Please open a customer message so SAP support can analyze the issue.

How to maintain comments (or Text fields) in BPS planning layout.

Hello
I found following document on SDN written by Tarun Malik:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/60938938-de6f-2910-2080-fc80d38ebfec?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
Are there bugs in the coding:
Functionmodule Z_BPS_WRITE_LAYOUT_READ_ODS:
*it_ll_data = it_ll. "it_ll has not been defined upfront?!
APPEND range TO et_dimension. " et_dimension has not been defined upfront?!
Maybe Tarun Malik can answer?
Regards
Arjan

Hi,
Yeh i know they need to click on that to see the comments ;
Just checking if your are ok with the approach as it will avoid your coding part as well as performance of the layout.
going by Tarun's approach,
how have you declared your import and export parameters of your function module ?
I think you are missing that part which is giving you the error ..

Issue with order or sequence of wbs elements appearance in planning layout

Hi Experts
we have an issue with order or sequence of wbs elements appearance in BPS planning layout.
In BW - 0wbs element - hierarchy order is as below
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
but when we check the same wbs element in BPS planning layout, it appears as below
1
2
3
4
6
7
5
8
Request you to advice how to correct the order.
Best Regards
krishna

Hi,
I came across a similar situation once. I dont remember exactly.
We have two different DataSources on wbs hierarchy. The hiearchy was loaded using the two datasources.
By mistake we were trying to use the hierarchy created by Datasource2, instead of hier created by datasource1.
Can you check that.

The columns must be marked with a * in the columnsin Planning layout

hi ,
Doeas anyone please tell me how to add ' * ' next to characetristic name in the Header of the planning Layout in only some columns headers.
i am not able to just add * and save.
is there any VBA code we have to use ? or any changes in the BSP application of the webinterface attached to the layout.
Suppose i have ' Company code ' in the column header of the planning layout.
i want in the output of the webinterface as ' company code* '
Regards,
Sandhya

Hi Sandhya,
in Excel Layouts you should use VBA. Loop over the cells of the column headings until you find the one with "Company Code". Then change it.
In Web Interfaces you can do the same with a JavaScript item.

Using strandard BW hierarhy in BPS planing layout

Hi,
I would like to use standard hier on 0Costcenter in the BPS planning layout.
The hier is loaded with DataSource 0COSTCENTER_0101_HIER from ERP.
I would need also hierarchy nodes to be posting enabled, not just the costcenters included.
How to make that?
Is it possible to organize the same hier with external characteristics (should be also loaded from ERP).
I tried to follow some hints in other SDN posts, but the result is always without option to post on the nodes too.
I would argentite any help.
BR Tom

Hi Tom,
cost center hierarchies from ERP are ususally represented in BW as hierarchies with text nodes, i.e. the 'cost center groups' are text nodes. A hierarchy with postable nodes is (by definition) a hierarchy were also the inner hierarchy nodes are values of the hierarchy base characteristic (in your case the cost center).
So you need a mechanism to create cost centers from the text nodes contained in the ERP cost center hierarchy and then to create a corresponding BW hierarchy with postable nodes (where the text nodes are replaced by the new created cost centers).
In BPS planning layouts and in BW reports the inner postable nodes always have leaf with the same value (this value is really posted to the cube). These values will be 'generated' on the fly (and can be suppressed in BW reports if you like).
The following may be helpful:

Using a variable/drop down list in header of planning layout

Dear all,
I have created a simple BPS application for purely GL planning (No CO related objects like cost centre involved). I have the following characteristics in the header of the manuel planning layout.
Business area
Chart of accounts
Company code
Currency
Currency Type
Fiscal year
Fiscal Year Variant
Fiscal year/period
Value type
Version
I have created variables for Business area, Fiscal Year, Fiscal Year Period, Posting Period and Version. The client wants either a variable or a drop down list for these characteristics in the header in the web application. When I assign a variable and put the characteristic in header, I get the error message in the web application saying header characteristic can only have a fixed value. Can someone tell me if it is possible and if so than how? I'll be very grateful for any inputs. Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Sumit

Hi,
When you create a variable, assign some values to the variable. These then become available in the drop down box. Ths first time a Web interface is called, these variable values are initial.As a result, u get the error messages. Select the variable values and then the error message should go away.
Thanks,

Freezing Planning Layout Lead Column (Web)

Good Afternoon
We are currently developing planning layouts using the web view rather than the Excel view.
My question: Has anyone implemented the freezing of the lead column in the web view (similar to the Excel view functionality)?
Thanks in advance.
Andrew

Hello Andrew,
have you tried using 2 layouts, one displaying only the lead column (no or hidden data column) and one displaying data columns (lead column hidden or minimized - only '.' displayed -).
I haven't tried it yet and it may not lock very nice, but you could hide columns, you do not want to see, with an separate <div> - layer or put the layouts in 2 iframes...
It was only a thought, that came up to me.
One problem would be, if the number of rows exceeds the screensize and the user wants to scroll down...
I hope I could help you to some ideas.
Regards
Steve

To Identify changed data in planning layout in BPS

We have a planning layout in BPS which user can change data on individual cell. We also have an EXIT function to distribute data to this layout.
User changes data on cells then executes the EXIT function to distribute data. During debugging, we see the changed entry with delta amount in the XTH_DATA table. However, there are many entries with similar characteristics; hence we cannot identify the particular changed data, i.e., the changed sales amount, in XTH_DATA of EXIT function.
Is there any configuration and/or function to show only the changes data? Any comments/hints are greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Sam

Hi,
When you enter for a particular characteristic and remaining characteristic if you left bank , it will store as # in layout and samething will also in cube. you can check it cube also.
for eg.
profitcenter com.code sales revenue
100 # 10
if you want to avoid this then you have to enter all characteristic values.
Regards,
Siva.
