How to configure Work Status in BPC?

Hello everybody,
I have some problems with the hierarchy of work status control. I will explain it with a simple example.
I have 3 entities: A, B and C. A is B's parent, and B i C's parent.I have the status: Opened, submitted company, submitted subgroup, approved.
C is entering data with the status opened. When C finish, C change the status to submitted company. In that moment, C can´t enter more data because BPC desn´t let it. B's owner can enter data in C, but not C's owner.Ok, perfect.
Then B enter some data in C and change the status to submitted subgroup. In that moment, A can enter data in C but B continue being able to enter data too, and I would like that B couldn't enter data in C although A could.How can I configure this? Is it possible?
Thank you very much.

Hi Fernando,
The issue that you have is really familiar for me. We have exactly the same problem in a client a had.
As you explain, SAP BPC approval process have this problem. The conclusion is BPC approval process (Workstatus) only have 2 approval level, Owner and Manager.
Sorry but in your case when C have the power of introduce data, B could introduce data as well.
You should use reviewer option. Maybe with this functionality you can increment an approval level. For example C could be reviewer of each entity B is owner.
I expect my explanation solve your doubts

  • Work Status error BPC NW 7.5

    Hi,
    I am having some trouble with Work Status for BPC NW 7.5.
    When trying to change status I always get same message: "Controlled by rule has been violated". I've tried with differente ussers and I am suer they have all rights necessary to change status but, there is no way.
    Please help.
    Thanks in advance,
    Raul

    We have already made all tasks related to Work Status:
    1. Configuring Work Status u2013 Like Unlocked, Submitted and Approved
    2. Enter the Owner property in dim Entity
    3. Configure the work status setting at the application level: Entity as owner, Time and Category "YES"
    4. Aplication Administration --> Define the hierarchy as H1. We have defined the hierarchy in Entity PANETH1 also
    But still didn't work... as we though it should. We have gone through the Admisnitration manual for BPC NW75 and check everything again. Everythign was correct. But, we checked all appendix also. There is where SAP explains how is all working. In some stage, BPC thogh we were the manager (because of the Entity hierarchy structure) but our Work status was not define for a Manager (because we don't need it). We made a try with everything in BOTH and is Working!!! Cool.
    We are going to adjust everythign to our requirements now. But, we now itiis working correctly.
    Thank you very much for you help.

  • Manage work status in BPC 7

    Hi experts,
    I would like to know if we can  manage work status in bpc excel. I have see that we can use evlck to get the status of the work status and we can use MNU_esubmit_modify to open the bpcweb page to modify work status.
    But I want to modify the workstatus in bpc excel.
    Do you have any solution ? with macro or other ?
    Thanks in advance

    Dear Janeth Sarai Ripert,
    I suggest you to update the work status using BPC Web. If you want to force it using macro, I will give you information likes as:
    1. SAP BPC will write the work status data into the table "dbo.tblfinancelock". It's for Finance Application
    2. If you want to directly write data into that table, please you use the uppercase format.
    3. SAP BPC never update data when the user updated that work status. SAP BPC will create one record.
    4. You only can update work status data directly but not for update sub menu at BPF
    Thanks,

  • Displaying current work status in BPC Excel report

    Hi All,
    Could any of you tell me how do we retrive the current work status that has been set for a particular application on to a Excel?
    We would get this in BPC WEB reports, but we are lookin gto display it in excel itself.
    Does EVLCk function have any link with this?
    can any one share the details of list of EV functions that can be used in BPC 7.0.
    Regards,
    Swetha

    Hi Swetha-
    SAP Note 1348997 "BPC NW 7.0 SP03 Work Status Explanation" provides a detailed PowerPoint deck that explains the specifics around Work Status.  Please note slide #39 and the mention of EVLCK.
    A few additional notes that may be of interest:
    EVLCK became available to SAP BPC 70 NetWeaver with SP02 (pls review SAP note 1310443, as well as the "BPC 7.0 SP03 NW Documentation Updates" in Note 1349538).

  • 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 Issues - BPC 10.0 NW

    Hello,
    I am having trouble changing a work status setting that is approved to open.
    We have three settings, default, open, and approved. Approved has data loads locked to everyone. The other two are open to everyone.
    Only a manager can modify the statuses. I am a technical support analyst so I have full access and can change any work status. However, when I look at the selection for the new status, all I see is approved. It will not let me choose another option. And this is for a specific company and month (June 2013). If I take that same company I can modify the closed status to open for other months and for the same company.
    Status is set on company code and time.
    Does closing at different hierarchies cause issues like this? Just not sure why I am unable to change it. Any thoughts?

    Hi
    When you need open a company code, make sure you open the parent node first and try to open individual company code.
    You also need to populate the OWNER property for company code dimension.
    thanks

  • How to configure a status process

    I would like to configure a control process using a percentage bar for a VI

    Hello Novice Programmeur,
    The file that I sent to you, is a ".LLB" file : It allows to save all VIs, objects and external subroutines, excluding those in the folder vi.lib, to a library. It allows to save a hierarchy of VIs (Main VI and SubVIs) in one file. This kind of file can be open by LabVIEW.
    You will found in the attached zip file the same program with the main VI and SubVIs. Launch and execute the VI "ProgressBarExample".

    Last step will be
    --->generate work schedules manually ---> Create work schedule -->click create all --->you will start seeing a calender for every month you specified.
    Eg: you specify that you need work schedule from march 2008 to Dec 2008, first march work schedule is generated.

  • Work status from the BPC for Excel interface

    Hello everyone !
    I got an issue on version 7.0M of BPC with WorkStatus. When i try to access to the work status from BPC the page won't load but i can access to it by the Web. Do you have any clue about that ? 
    It it the BPC server configuration ? The web site is with ASP2.0 is it an issue ?
    Best regards,
    Damien

    The problem seems to be related to how you configured the BPC application and web server.
    Just check table tblapsetinfo and tblserverinfo from database appserver to see if you have right configuration.
    I mean if you have the same name (FQDN or IP) for both application server and web server.
    Osoft virtual directory must work using .Net 1.1 no t2.0.

  • Unlocking work status

    Hi,
    We are implementing BPC 7.5 NW version and having SP04.
    we have an Entity A (parent entity) and unerneath that we have two entities B and C.
    In the Entity Dimension we have an owner peroperty in which for Entity A we gave a user (say Administrator as the owner) and for both Entity B and C we gave another user (say-BPcuser as the owner)
    So the user Administrator of Enitity A is the owner of Entity A and he is also now the Manager for Enitity B and C.
    After making these settings, when we try to modify work status through BPC for Excel it takes to BPC for WEB and in BPC for WEB we make the following selection.
    Category-Actual
    Entity- A
    Time -2010.April
    And in the next screen we are changing the satus from sUBMITTED to APPROVED ( TO lock the Data region) and save it.
    Now when we input any data for this data we are getting Check work status settings.( which is our desired output)
    However when we try to change the work status setting From Approved to Submitted (to unlock the data region) with the ID Administrator (i.e Owner of Parent Entity A) it is getting saved.However when we try to input the data it is still showing check the Work status settings.
    So can you please suggest me how to unlock the work status settings now so that we can post the data for that data region.
    Thanks,
    Shankar.v

    Hi,
    If you are in a development system and if you want to delete all the locks on the data at one go......you could try reordering your work states (rearrange your last work state for example by moving it one step further up). You get a message on the screen that this will delete all the locks on the data....just confirm the message. You could change the order again back to the original order.
    Above is only if you are working on a development system and for test if you want to delete all the existing locks at one go.
    If your system wants only to unlock a specifc dataset, select the required members of the work state dimensions (refer to your appliation and work staus to know what the work status dimensions are for your application). Note, if your selection includes any parent member for a dimension current work status is not displayed.(This is again as per the work status set up in BPC that work status is stored at non-parent members).
    Please let me know if you still have any issues in deleting the locks

    Dear Experts,

    Please help me...
    Thank alot in advance...

  • Work status SPRUNCONVERSION

    Hi,
    We are using script logic in the package.
    We would like to prevent the packed from running on u201Clockedu201D data.
    Below is the code of the script. The statuscode of locked data is 3. The maxstatus parameter in stored procedure is set to 1 (unlocked).
    *SysLib Stored_Procedure_Wrapper.lgl
    //=============================================
    // Currency translation logic
    //=============================================
    *RUN_STORED_PROCEDURE=SPRUNCONVERSION('%APP%','%CATEGORY_SET%','','GLOBAL','%SCOPETABLE%','%LOGTABLE%','' ,'' ,'', 1)
    Unfortunately we still can write to the locked intersection.
    We are using BPC MS 5.1.
    Could you give us some advise how to solve this problem?

    Mariusz,
    If you define a business rule in a script logic file and call the script
    logic file from data manager, the data generated by the business rule   
    will be posted to a locked data region since the business rule engine   
    cannot check Work Status. BPC has the limitation of the business rule. It has been earlier requested as an enhancement.

  • BPC7.5NW - Work Status SAP Best Practices

    Hello Experts,
    I would like to get your expert opinion on the Work Status settings.
    Usually, we configure work status settings at the Application Set and Application levels.  At the application level, we do the configuration to lock down the data region based on the dimensions present in the Application Set.  SAP help website says that between 3 and 5 dimensions are enough to define a data region and lock it.
    I would like to know if there is an SAP best practice, that guides the user about what dimension types to use?  For example, 'C' type, 'E' type and 'T' type, etc.
    Your help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    It would mainly driven by your user requirements. Generally you would have entity, time and category in the work status. Entity is used if you want users to set the status to 'submitted' for example, for their entities. Apart from these three if you beleive there is a reason for you to include your datasource for example, you can specify. You cannot use the account dimension though.
    Generally Entity,Cat & time are the common ones. Please let me know if you need any further details.
    Thanks,
