Hierarchy in BW-BPS

Hello,
I have a hierarchy in BW (made of characteristics nodes) and i want to use that hierarchy in BW-BPS. But in BPS this hierarchy become one node hierarchy:
in BW:
Total
.A
...1
...2
...3
.B
...2
.....22
...3
...4
.....41
in BPS
Total
. A
.1
.2
.3
.B
.2
.22
.3
.4
.41
What i have to do that in BPS i can see the same hierarchy layout like in BW?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Arunas Stonys

Hello, Srini,
In BPS layout i select Hierarchical Data Model. When i select Hierarchy Type BW Hierarchy with postable nodes i see a plain text, not ahierarchy, but when i select BPS Characteristic Hierarchies the resul is like i wrote in the first message.
Mayby may hierarchy is wrong. In Bex my hierarchy looks fine.
Thanks for Your help.
Best Regards,
Arunas

BPS distribution over the big hierarchy

Hi,
I need to make a distribution based on the CostCenter hierarchy.
In BPS application user post values on the level of CostCenter and on upper nodes level (postable nodes in hierarchy).
- Values posted on CostCenter should be summarized up in the nodes levels.
- Values posted on the node level should be distributed on the CostCenter level.
Distribution should use all hierarchy relation for distribution rules (sender-receiver).
How to do this? I do not want to specify those rules, they are already specified in the hierarchy. Could you propose the ethe right approach for this.
Thanks, Tom

Ok do a authorisation roles based on node so that who ever has the role for that node will have access to the costcenter under it.

BPS with mySAP ERP 2004 vs. BPS 3.5

Hi all,
Whats is the context difference between Solution Consultant Financials - Strategic Enterprise Management - CPM & BPS with mySAP ERP 2004 certification exam and Solution Consultant mySAP ERP Financials Strategic Enterprise Management
CPM & BPS (SEM3.5) certification exam? SAP says that the former exam's BPS section includes :
Comparison of SAP system and SEM-BPS
Data basis for SEM-BPS
Integrated use of SAP system and SEM-BPS
Integrated business planning
Business plans
Planning design and architecture
Locking concept
Layout Builder
Interface between SEM-BPS and BW
Structure and characteristics of planning functions
Variables
Key figure model and account model
Data transfer structures and multi-planning areas
Planning folders
Web Interface Builder
Comparison of planning interfaces
Planning hierarchy in SEM-BPS
Hierarchies and attribute assignment in BW
Characteristic relationships in SEM-BPS
Top-down and bottom-up modeling
Realignment
however the first exam includes:
Focuses on integrating subplans for a business plan, such as planning results, overhead and personnel costs, investments, balance sheets, and liquidity.
Overhead cost planning with primary and secondary costs
Balance sheet planning using financial planning functions
Personnel cost planning
Liquidity planning and cash flow analysis
CPM part of both exams are same, but why there is a difference in BPS part?
I am planning to take Strategic Enterprise Management - CPM & BPS with mySAP ERP 2004 certification exam, I am wondering what you know about these 2 exams? What topics should I focus on?
Thanks,
Kaan

Hello Kaan,
the SEM 3.5 exam is simply based on an older version. You should take the mySAP ERP 2004 exam (or 2005 once this comes out). The BPS functionality has changed only marginally so it's not really a different, but it's nicer to have a recent certification of course

Hierarchy variables

Hi,
Does anyone know how to get a list of hierarchy variables in BPS with hierarchy nodes? I've tried using the UPC_VAR table but it only gives me the variables but not the nodes.
Thanks in advance.

Did you try to download from SE16 using program UPC_VAR?
Hope this helps

Unlock Cost center in BPS application

Hello Friends,
I have one requirement to unllock two cost center hierarchy nodes in BPS application. Please see below details:
1)Remove the existing CSC Data Slice (lock) using transaction BPS0 in PB1
2)Create new Data Slices for every sub-node under the CSC node of the Cost Center hierarchy except for the divisions below
3)Ensure Budget data (B01) has been copied to the required forecast version for the CSC cost centers in question.
Can anyone help me out with steps?
Thanks,
Sri.

Hello Sri,
I suggest to use an exit variable in the data slice. This lets you adjust the slice dynamically.

Planning Layout Function

Hi Guys,
In the Manual planning Layout selection, Is it possible to have a range selection as you have in BW User Entry Variable in queries??
Or have a default setting that uses the last used value in the selection field????
K

Hi Koffi,
it is not possible to create variable with select options in BPS like in BW. The trick from Filip is good when you want to use a range. But often the entries are not well sorted and a range is not suitable.
In some cases it may be possible to use a hierarchy and a hierachy variable as a workaround. The hierarchy can be used as a kind of "predefined select options".
In a planning session you can choose a node of the hierarchy in the BPS-variable and get all entries of this node.
This solution is not very flexible but sometimes useful.

Time dependent hierarchy structure in SEM-BPS

I want to use a time dependent hierarchy structure in sem BPS to make combination chek and proposal in a layout.
I have manage a relation of type hierarchy (based on this hierarchy) in the characteristic relationship tab page of my planning area.
I open my layout to make entries in the future (next fiscal year) but the system doesn't propose me the datas valide for the next fiscal year in my hierarchy but the datas validate today.
There is a key date in the master data tab page of the planning area but it seems to have only effects on attributes with validity dates but not with hierarchy with time dependent hierarchy structure.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
The key data that you enter in the planning area is only for time dependent characteristics and attributes. For the hierarchies in the characteristic relationships the current data is used.
If you still want to use a time dependent hierarchy for modeling the characteristic relationships you could use a characteristic relationship type exit. In the exit you can read the hierarchy with the proper date.

Hierarchy node variable in BPS planning level

Hi gurus,
I have a set of planning levels and packages that are meant for all users. The users currently are segregated by 0costcenter hierarchy nodes, i.e. groups of users are belonging to different nodes within the 0costcenter hierarchy. These group of users each have its respective authorisation profile assigned based on hierarchy node.
The planning levels and packages are configured so that 0costcenter is one of the header characteristics in the layout.
Is there a way for the characteristic 0costcenter in the planning level and packages to derive the cost centers from the authorisation profiles ?
Advice appreciated.
Thanks.

You may consider any of the following:
1. BPS variables with authorization replacement type.
2. BPS variables with user defined values replacement type.

Hierarchy Exit variable in BPS

Hi,
I have a pb:
I have a hier (ZHIER) based on InfoObject YIndic:
- Node : Text node
          - Region : Characteristic node (char: Yregion) ex: 1
                   - Dpt: Text node   ex: 1P2
                          - Indic : Characteristic node (char: YIndic)
          - Region : Characteristic node (char: Yregion) ex: 2
                   - Dpt: Text node ex: 2P3
                          - Indic : Characteristic node (char: YIndic)
In planing Layouts (BPS), I'd like to display only Indics related to the Dpt and the region of the user. So I'd like to use a Hierarchy Exit variable to take the right node.
I wrote the following code (I replaced working variables by real values):
ls_hiersel-chanm = 'YINDIC'.
ls_hiersel-hienm = 'ZHIER'.
ls_hiersel-nodename = '1P2'.
ls_hiersel-hiever   = 'A'.
ls_hiersel-hiecha   = '0HIER_NODE'.
ls_hiersel-dummy_leaf   = ''.
ls_hiersel-dateto   = '99991231'.
CLEAR ls_chadep.
ls_chadep-chanm = 'YREGION'.
ls_chadep-chavlint = '1'.
APPEND ls_chadep TO ls_hiersel-to_chadep.
INSERT ls_hiersel INTO TABLE et_hie_nodes.
ENDFUNCTION.
My problem is that when I launch my layout, the system tell "the node 1P2 doesn't existing" but node is effectively existing. I thing that BPS doesn't know where to search my node but I took this piece of code from another function and I don't know how to tell to BPS where to search the node. It's maybe at the end of the code but I'm a Beginner in ABAP.
Can anybody can help me please?
Many thanks.
J Sorel

Thanks for your help.
Could you explain me please what does the code I wrote and your modification (I have not tried yet)?
I took this piece of code from an existing function module but due to my Abap level I can't understand what I do. I think that BPS doesn't undertands where (in which level) to search the node. Is there in the code you wrote an information related to the level where the node is?
Many thanks

Upload a flat file to BPS layout with hierarchy: is it possible?

Hello, BPS people!
I used a known "HowTo...using SAPGUI" to load a flat file to BPS layout. Finally I need to use a predefined layout with several variables and hierarchical representation of characteristic values in the key field ( I can't use a special layout for file uploading!). The procedure works fine if I use a flat structure of characteristic in the key field (no hierarchy). But once I choose a hierarchical representation of key characteristic in the level (but nonhierarchical model in the first screen of layout builder!) the layout data after uploading is absolutely wrong!
1) whether is it possible to perform that without ABAP coding?
2) If not, how can I change the function modules to use hierarchy?
Thank you!
Yurij

Sorry again!
I have solved it.
Probably nobody understood my question. First, I have tried to attach file upload function (see "How To..load a flat file into BW-BPS using SAPGUI") to the same planning level where original planning layout with hierarchical structure in the key field already existed. But now I realized that it's impossible!
SOLUTION: It is necessary to build the file upload function at the separated planning level with the same structure as that in the uploaded file. No hierarchies allowed in the "Selection" tab of planning level !!
Such upload function operates perfectly in the planning folder where original layout with the hierarchical structure of key characteristic is presented. After the file upload you can perform all further activities in the planning folder (including that with uploaded data).
Thanks,
Yurij

BW HIERARCHY IN BPS

Hi people,
I have created a hierarchy in bw.It goes like this.
Region->State->Product.
I am working on planning for a product which has its presence in 4 regions(north,south,east,west) .Each region comprise of 3 states.
I was able to create a hierarchy in bw successfully.But come across a problem while using that in sem-bps.It says link node not available or no sub-hierarchy.
Can anyone give me the clear steps of using the hierarchies created in bw to be implemented in sem-bps.
If anyone want further details on this,please mail me at [email protected]
Appreciate sooner response.
Regards,
Ragav.

Hi,
I checked on it.Its of great help indeed.Thanks a lot.I have started working on it.I have another doubt.
Lemme explain the problem i am facing.My requirement goes like this.,
A car company has 3 variants in 4 regions(NORTH,SOUTH,EAST,WEST).
Each region has 3 states.
In bw, i have created a characteristic for region that holds the 4 values, a characteristic for states which contains the states and a characteristic for product which has the models.I would like to use hierarchy now.Under which characteruistic shall i create the hierarchy?and also how to use thehierarchy created in bps.Is it realy necessary that i have to look in for characyteristics relationship in planning area settings after creating hierarchy in bw?

External characteristics and postable nodes in BW hierarchy in BPS layout

Hi!
Short question: If using a hierarchical layout in BW-BPS what are the constraints on the hierarchy for values to be able to be planned on the individual levels of the hierarchy?
Typically if one has a product hierarchy with one hierarchy basic characteristic: product and an external characteristic: product group which are connected in a hierarchy. How can values be planned on the product group level? And how does this relate to postable nodes in the BW documentation: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/c1/493d3854129f68e10000009b38f8cf/content.htm. Is it only postable nodes that can be planned?
Regards,
Christian

BPS Performance when reading a hierarchy

Hi,
We have created planning levels with a selection on a cost center hierarchy node (included in a variable). Under this level, planning layouts use the characteristic cost center as a lead column.
When we execute one of these layouts (in the Gui with an Excel interface or an ALV interface) the layouts takes at least 3 minutes to open even if it only includes about 1000 records.
Is there any way to improve this performance ?
If we create an exit variable which reads the hierarchy and list the cost centers, the performance is not improved.
The cost center hierarchy read is about 15,000 cost centers in total, but only a few hundreds are included in the nodes we select.
Thanks for any help.

Hello David,
BPS has to resolve the hierarchy nodes into single values. For big hierarchies this can take quite a while (especially if the base characteristic is compounded as in this case).
Try to build an alternative hierarchy that contains only the nodes you need in BPS.
Also - as in any case - do a performance analysis. Where are the 3 minutes really being spent? BW data selection, BPS layout, variables, etc. Please check the BPS Performance Guide for mode information. SAP Service Marketplace > Quicklink BW > SAP BW BPS > Performance.
