G&A Planning input schedule

Hi Gurus,
I know that I am posting a simple but I need the solution from your end.
I have requirement to prepare the Input schedule for G&A Planning.
- Row Axis - Account with GL codes
- Column Axis - Time Dimension
Requirement - Here user wants to get only those cost center having connection with the relevant GL Accounts only
Example : Cost Center 123 is being used in GL Accounts Professional serv, BPO Services and Travel. when the user planning for G&A he/she needs to plan for that particular accounts only.
How can I achieve this task.
Your comments will he really helpful.
Thanks,
Satish

Hello,
One possible way to do this is to add a property in cost center that can hold the value of the relevant GL account. When you create the input schedule you place CostCenter dimension in page axis and select dimension members by filtering on the GL property. Assuming each cost center maps to only one GL account you should be able to use this method.
Using this method you can limit the scope of what shows by the filler value.The only limitation to this is that as of now you can only filter by actual property values so changing the context will not change the filtered members.

How can I enter data in an input schedule on a member in the EPM Add-On that is not a base member?

Hello, all,
how can I enter data in an input schedule on a member in the EPM Add-On that is not a base member?
E.g. I want to implement a top-down-planning scenario and I have the following hierarchy:
Europe
     Germany
     France
     UK
     Spain
     Italy
How can I enter a value on Europe in an input schedule in order to allocate this value afterwards?
Thanks in advance and best regards
Gerd

Gerd,
It should be something like below -
EuropeInput
Europe
     Germany
     France
     UK
     Spain
     Italy
EuropeInput shall be kept out of hierarchy and should be a base level member. Users will enter the numbers in this member. In your script logic, you will make use of this member to allocate the data in Bas(Europe) i.e. Germany, France, etc.
Effectively, after allocation the same data will be rolled up to Europe.
Many top-down planning would use such work-around as BPC doesn't allow writing to parent node.

Overwrite and Delta options in Input schedules

Hi,
We are planning to use 'Park and Go' feature of BPC and save some input schedule to our local machine. We will send these files to our endusers for offline planning. Endusers are not connected to BPC server. They dont have client installed on their machine. They will do offline planning and forward the input schedules to Planning coordinator. Planning coordinator will open these files in BPC and send those values to BPC server. In some cases, he has to add those values from input schedules to the existing data in server. In some cases, he has to overwrite the existing data with new data. He also needs Delta update option. These features are available for uploads using data manager. But are these options available during data sends using input schedules? Please suggest.
thanks/regards,
Lokesh Nandula

Thanks Joost.
We are thinking of some alternatives to meet this requirement. We are planning to copy the offline plan data to a new version (Category) using data sends through Input schedules. We will use data manager package to copy these values from the new version to our original version. In data manager, we have the option to either add or overwirte the data. We can also automate this activity. Can you please suggest if this could be a perfect solution for our scenario.
regards,
Lokesh Nandula

Input schedule: Derive key for key range from Dimension member properties

Hey guys,
I'm facing the problem within a input layout. There are three keys in the row key range.
The first row key is filled by the members of a dimension. The second and third row
should be filled by the dependencies shown in the dimension members.
Example:
Dimension:
- Order number
Properties:
- Client (also implemented as standalone dimension where all required characteristics are maintaned)
- Costcenter (also implemented as standalone dimension where all required characteristics are maintaned)
Entries in dimension members of Ordern number:
Order number, Client, Costcenter:
1000, 10, 511
2000, 10, 533
3000, 12, 511
4000, 15, 588
Entries in dimension Members of Client:
10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20
Entries in dimension Members of Costcenter:
511,533,555,588
My row key range is defined as follows: Exp1: Order number, Exp2: Client, Exp3: Costcenter
For Planning purposes i need a input schedule that schows only the valid combinations shown above
in master data of order number. Is this possible or do I have to leverage script logic to use dependencies shown in master data for reporting oder planning purposes !
Cheers,
Moritz

Hi Moritz,
As Nilanjan said, this is not really possible with a basic EVDRE at the moment. Your best bet is probably to either build your own solution using EVEXP, EVGET, and EVSND, or to use an EVDRE based on only the Order # to get the values and an EVSND based on the Order # and the properties of the Order # in the AfterRange of the EVDRE.
I actually like the second option a lot better (EVDRE with EVSND in the AfterRange) because for larger queries the read performance should be better and it will be more maintainable in the long run.

Create input schedule with several dates

Dear experts,
I need to create an input schedule with the following layout:
jan10 | fev10 | .... | nov10 | dez10 | jan11| ... | dez11 | jan12 | ... | dez12
jan10 and fev10 must show real values.the rest of the months for 2010, 2011 and 2012 must be available to be planned.
How do I accomplish this using BPC? how do I do this?
Thank You
Inê

Hi,
As per my understanding you wanted to have - jan10 | fev10 | .... | nov10 | dez10 | jan11| ... | dez11 | jan12 | ... | dez12
etc.,members, wherein it should show the values in "jan10 | fev10" , and rest of the months should be for Planed right? So in Time dimension you please create the members as you wanted (like jan10 | fev10 | .... | nov10 | dez10 | jan11| ... | dez11 | jan12 | ... | dez12), then come to BPC Excel load the real values for for jan10 | fev10 |, and send the data through Input schedule.
Then prepare one more Input Template including all months....then it will display the values for those jan10 | fev10 | months and remaining will be kept open to accept the data. Even you can put those 2 months ( jan10 | fev10 |) in Actual category, remaining months you can put them in Plan category. In member set you can concatinate both the categories and you can have all in one template. These 2 months ( jan10 | fev10 |) will display the data in Actual, and remaining months can be shown as Plan and they are ready to accept the inputs.
I hope you might have understood.

Calculating the actual value when creating the input schedule on BPC NW 7.0

Hello Experts,
I have One questions regarding the calculation when building the input schedule.
the structure of this input schedule is like this:
CV: App01-time-entity-account-version-p_datasource ...
Plan Value Actual Value
Project 1000
In the backend of BPC ,The Actual value is retrived from other system using BW DTP function, and with the monthly based line item. We build the BPC-mutiprovider by the actual value cube and the plan data cube.
From the BPC Office view, we want display the actual value by aggregating historice data till the month which user selected in the current view. These actual data is just the reference for user when they input the plan data. so we dont want these data stored in the application or database.
Can anyone give us some hints?
Thanks a lot in advance!
Best Regards,
Vivi

Shift wise planning and scheduling

Dear All,
Here we have a scenario in which we have to do shift wise planning and scheduling.
The shift is not fixed.
It can be 1 shift on particular day and it might be 2 shifts another day. They will plan for this many hours per day for future.
The scheduling should be done for this many hours which inturn is as many shifts. The working hours per day is not fixed as well. It totally depends on the requirement. So the planning and scheduling should happen based on hour basis and will be different for each day. I need your inputs for mapping this scenario.

Balaji,
You have not given any meaningful requirements, therefore it is impossible for me to make suggestions. What you have said so far implies total randomness. If all the events are random, there is no planning, only tracking.
Exactly what do you mean when you say 'planning'? Material planning in ERP does not consider shift sequences/timings/schedules. Capacity planning, where work schedules are managed, does consider shift type data, but only takes place only after the orders have been established.
Scheduling is done based on Work Centers. A work center can represent one or more machines, one or more people, or a combination of the two. Work centers can have shifts. The number of shifts can vary over time. The shifts can have various working schedules. The shift working schedules can vary over time.
I suggest that you describe a single specific scenario you would like to discuss. Perhaps then the forum can offer some suggestions.

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

Decimal places in standard input schedule templates

Hi Gurus
I have created some input schedules using standard template. User here will be entering some values in 2 decimal places (like 1.25) but when I enter any values in the cells, it automatically round off the values and displays values without any decimal places.
I have tried changing the formats in Format control panel by changing the DATA / DEFAULT 's PATTERN / ALL for ROWs but it did not help.
Please help how to resolve this.
Cheers

Hi nilanjan,
Thanku, I resolved the issue using Format Range option with the below code

Performance testing of Input schedule and report

Hi All,
We are checking the time taken for a template to expand and refresh,
In a scenario, a report with 18000 rows expanded in 80 seconds,
But in BW backend system it shows,
SQE Query read: 5 seconds
It means remaining 75 seconds are required for front end, Is it possible to split up this time like where it takes more time.
Thanks & Regards,

Retrieve data from a report or database to an input schedule in BPC for exc

Hi,
I am using BPC for excel ( v 5.1).
I've created an Input Schedule(Input-1) using BPC for excel and sent data to the dB.
I need this (Input-1) data to use it in a new Input Schedule(Input-2), for further manipulation.
I need this data to be dumped in a sheet for further calculations in (Input-2).
How can i bring this data?
I created an input schedule(Input-2) and tried building an evdre in an excel macro to get it as a report of the 1st Input. But i was unsuccessful. I faced an error "ERR: Invaled KeyRange Header".
Am i thinking in the correct way? Do we 've any other options to retrieve this data?
Need your help to proceed....
(Pretty soon, the environment is going to be with version 7.0)

The macro i use to run when my workbook opens is as follows:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
    ActiveWorkbook.Sheets.Add
    Sheets(Sheets.Count).Name = "Dump_Sheet"
    Sheets("Dump_Sheet").Range("a1") = "Application1"
    Sheets("Dump_Sheet").Range("a2") = "=EvDRE($A$1,A14:B20)"
    Application.Run ("MNU_eANALYZE_REFRESH")
End Sub
Also I 've tried this too:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
    ActiveWorkbook.Sheets.Add
    Sheets(Sheets.Count).Name = "Dump_Sheet"
    Sheets("Dump_Sheet").Range("a1") = "=EvDRE(""Application1"",A14:B20)"
    Application.Run ("MNU_eANALYZE_REFRESH")
End Sub
Both of these gave me the same error code :
#ERR : Invalid KeyRange Header

How to get the refreshed data from Input schedule while using evsnd

Hi Experts,
                 I am using EvSnd function for sending the data from a Input schedule.
Acc                Value
xx----
    xy------        10
    xz-------       20
these above cell value 10,20 are getting sent by evsnd function which is written in different cell.
Now after successfully sending, how I can see these are also getting refreshed, like in Evdre
Acc                Value
xx----
        30
    xy------        10
    xz-------       20
Thanks
Anupam

Thanks my friend.
But the point is I need to show the updated data for all the cells (for xx, xy,xz). The point is if I use the evsnd then after the data has been sent, those two cells xy & xz will be blank once again. And so if the user will not be able to check what the data they have sent for these member from that sheet.
              They have to get a report which will show the figures.
And we can't even use the evgts in the xy/xz cell as the formula is going to be erased as soon as the user enter the data in that.
so how we can do the sheet similar to evdre ip schedule..where after every data send the cell range shows latest data.

Drop Down list in BPC Input Schedule

Hi all,
In an input schedule I need to have some values "controlled", and allow to give a value only among a list of specific values. So I came up on the idea to builld it using cell "validation" feature of native Excel, just like I have been able to find in [this thread|Re: Regarding the Function.......] (by the way, great the hint about using name's ranges for being able to define the list in a different sheet than where it is being used).
So, I need to achieve one more thing. Let's say that the values I must include in the list are not numerical values, but alphanumerical, so I must combine in the schedule the alphanumerical value with the numerical value it represents. I have played around with excel and BPC formulas for quite a while already but cannot get it to work. Anybody has implented it?
Regards,
Rafael
PS: I get to define the drop down list of values in a cell and get it to write the corresponding numerical value in another cell referenced by a EvSND, but this only works in one direction (the cell does not get updated when I change the current view for example).

Hi Rafael,
I've done something similar.
In one cell I've put a drop down list, using Excel's data validation. The members in the list are human-readable text values, so the user can select one of these descriptive values.
In a second cell, these text values are transcoded into numeric values, thanks to function VLOOLUP. This cell is in the data range of an EvDRE expansion area, so when the user saves data the numeric value gets written to the back-end.
In a 3rd cell I fetch the numeric value currently saved on the server, via an EvGET.
In a 4th cell, I transcode that value into the corresponding text value, using another VLOOKUP function.
Finally, I've used function AFTER_REFRESH to read the content of the 4th cell, and set the value of the drop-down cell to that value. The VBA instruction to do the latter thing is something similar to:
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = <the value of the 4th cell>
This way, the drop-down entry selected by default after refreshing data is the value currently stored on the server.
However I still miss something. I've set the Excel validation only in the 1st cell of the 1st row, and I want that the EvDRE expansion copies the validation to all other cells in all rows resulting from expansion. But this does not happen! Validation is not copied during expasion.
How's that? Everything else is copied--values, formats, formulas. Why validation is not copied?
* UPDATE
I've solved this issue. The solution is described here:

Hi Ethan,
yes, you are right, with VLOOKUP you get the information I want, but only in ONE direction. By "one direction" I mean that I can get in the cell with the VLOOKUP the text I want by reading a (numerical) value from a different referenced cell. But I would also need to be able of changing value in that same cell (by picking up one of those text values from a drop down list) and having the corresponding numerical value written on the referenced cell. Can you see the difference?
In few words, I would need a cell to read and write a value (just as the raw EvSND allows), but converting the numerical value into its corresponding text value.

Error while sending the data using input schedule

Dear Friends,
I am unable to send the data using input schedule due to following error is occur while sending the data.
The Error Message : Member (H1) of dimension (ENTITY) is not a base member (parent or formula)
Can anyone please help me to resolve the above error.
Thanks and regards,
MD.

Hi,
You are trying to send data to a parent/node, you can only send data in BPC to lowest-level children (base mamabers) of any dimension.
"H1" is a parent in the entity dimension so you should try sending to a child.
