I have no column Member Validation in Work Status Settings.

Hello,
I have no column Member Validation in Work Status Settings.
Regards,
Miguel.

Hello Miguel,
As per the document mentioned by Dzmitry Lebedzeu, page 13 and page 39, there is no parity between Microsoft and Netweaver version regarding Member validation.
We are going live with SP05 (or SP06 if it launches soon) and, so far, this functionality has not been implemented - we posted a message in OSS but the answer referred to the same document and the acknowledgement of the differences in the two versions.
Best regards,
Joao

Member Validation in Work Status settings

Hello,
Within the workstatus set up on application level (work status settings) one can define an owner dimension in the work state column and also define which dimensions are relevant for work state by indicating 'yes'. How this works is clear. But for the other dimensions indicated as 'no' one can define member validation, the meaning and function of this is not clear to me.
Has somebody any idea what this is about?
Many thanks!

You can change the work status settings for each application. Changing the work status settings involves identifying three to five 'work status dimensions,' and then defining specific members for the remaining non-work status dimensions used for validation purposes. You must determine which account you will use for validation of the data at the time the work status is changed. The validation account must be &rdquor;0u201D at the intersection of the 3-5 variable members and the members designated for the non-work status dimensions. If the account is not &rdquor;0u201D then the owner/manager cannot set the work status. This is an option feature.
The dimensions you select as the work status dimensions are the variables in your business process. For example, the entity, category, and time might change based on who is submitting data, but the account, data source, reporting currency, etc., remains static. (Typically, Time is a work status dimension since data is usually segregated based on time.)
For example, lets say that you set Entity, Category, and Time as your work status dimensions for a given application. You then set your other current view members to the following: Account: Validation; DataSrc: TotalAdj; Intco: All_Intco; and RptCurrency: LC. In addition to assigning work status dimensions, you also specify which dimension is the 'owner dimension.' The owner dimension includes the Owner property. The owner property determines who can edit a work status setting. The following figure shows this setup, where Entity is the Owner dimension.
A user attempts to post data to the current view shown in the following table. The system checks the 'validation' account to make sure the intersection equals zero (0). If so, the data is posted, and a success message is displayed. The user can now set the work state to 'submitted' on that intersection. Subsequent submissions to that exact intersection will be rejected. Users can only send data to the same intersection if the Entity, Category, or Time member changes.

BPC: Work Status and Work Status Settings

Hi experts,
We have a little mess with the concepts: work status, work status settings and owner-manager in a dimension member of the dimension library.
In which case de we have to use each of them? Are these concepts related? Do we have to configure all of them in order to block the data before they are revised in a BPF?
Thanks in advance

He,
The thread was really good and almost solved all my duties, but there is still something that I don't understand. When we fix the work status, it can be controlled by the Owner and the Manager. Who is the manager and where do we configure its value.
I think the manager is the reviewer in the properties of the dimension but I am not sure. Could you confirm me this subject?
Thank you

Multiple hierarchies in Work Status settings

Hi,
I have datasouce dimension with more than one hierarchy and I need to set work status using multiple hierarchies but Work Status Settings in Admin console allow to specify only one hierarchy in Base Hierarchy.
A possible solution could be to create a new hierarchy that includes the others but I don't like.
Do you have any other idea?
I'm working on SAP BPC 10 MS
Many thanks
Dina

Hi Dina,
as per note 1339135 - How to set dimension hierarchy on work status settings
<If you set "Base Hierarchy" to 2 for a dimension has 3 hierarchies, you cannot set work status for members included in hierarchy 1 and 3 on BPC for Web. Only you can set work status for members of hierarchy 2.>
so I think the only solution is yours.
Regards
Roberto

Import with work status settings

I've recently set up work status settings for an application where we import data using a xls file and the standard Import package.
Even though I haven't locked any dimension members before, I get the following error message when importing data:
Logic Error of LOAD AND PROCESSError
Failed to commit transaction
1 errors writing data
Send through SendGovernor failed
I've tried restarting SendGoverner - did not solve the problem.
Any ideas on what might cause the error message?
We are on BPC 7.0 MS SP7.

Yes, I do use a transformation file and a conversion file.
Results of my latest testing:
1) Import file with 1 line, replace&clear and work status check selected - failed with this error message:
ISLOCKED::System error.;
The current members are locked::(ACTUAL, 2011.NOV, 1000)
However checked the table and it is clear
2) Import file with 1 line, merge and work status check selected - failed with the same error message as above.
3) Import file with1 line, replace&clear selected - work status check off: success
In which table would BPC maintain which dimension members are locked from a work status perspective? I haven't locked anything to date, perhaps it needs to be "initialized"?

I have created some music tracks as aiff files which I want to load onto my iPod Shuffle 4th Generation, but it won't play them - it just bleeps at me. I have changed them to AAC which works - what settings do I need to use to make aiffs work?

Work Status Settings "Controlled By"

Hello,
I have a problem in workStatus Settings because I cannot change the parameter ControlledBy in the first state of Work Status.
I want to change the ContolledBy to "Mgr" but when I change and save the parameters assumes again the value "Both".
Do you have any idea. It's not possible to chage the ControlledBy of the first state?
Your help would be appreciated.
Best Regards,
Rodrigo

Hi Rodrigo,
This is system defined that for 'In Progress' state you will have only both as the status 'Controlled By' so that both can start with the process. But for the rest of them you can design according to you requirement.

Hope this resolves your issue.

Work status and validation enquiry ..

hi,
i am using bpc 5.1 and i am trying to simulate a simple validation and work status update exercise, my settings are as followed:
work status setting:
account - no - validation
category - yes
datasrc - no - totaladj
entity - owner
intco - no - all_interco
rptcurrency - no - lc
time - yes
validation rules:
validation account - remark - validation operand - other - other - applicable periods - validation tolerance
validation - testing validation - = - blank - blank - 0
validation rules details:
validation account - account1 - flow1 - sign1 - account2 - flow2 - sign2 - remark
validation - sales - blank - 1 - cost - blank - 1 - testing validation
work status:
work state - dm ...docs - controlled by
unlocked - all ... all - both
submitted - all ... all - both
approved - all ... all - both
i am just trying to validate that my "sales" and "cost" entries are the same, i tried validating before and after submitting my data using evsen(10,"finance","sales) and evsen(10,"finance","cost") respectively with the other cv values being budget, input, worldwide1, non_interco, subtotal, lc - 2007.total1 - periodic.
i received the message "submitted data did not pass validation. you may need to resubmit data" on both ocassions.
any pointers?
cheers

I have 2 entities (companies) - C1111 and C1113.
I have the script logic for calculation keyfigures for this entities (it is automatic chain).
C1113 has entered the data and has locked it. When the C1113 will enter the data, the script logic will not been executed.
I have tested it and I have received that:
the script logic has broke when system has tried to write data into database after "Error Work Status check".
If I change the line of script logic as
*XDIM_MEMBERSET ENTITY = C1111,C1113
calculation for C1111 is executed.
Best Regards,
Svetlana.

Work status setting

Dear Experts,
Basically, I am from 5.1.
In 5.1, For Application work status settings we have, "AppSet Dim Names" , "WorkState", "Member Validation" Columns.
But in 7.0NW i can see only "AppSet Dim Names" , "WorkState" columns.
Without "Member Validation" column how can we configure work status?
Please help me...
Thank alot in advance...

Hi Friend,
I Appreciated you with points!
Suppose, I have two users Owner and a normal user.
My entity Dimension is the secure dimension. so, Owner property is configured.
Now, Owner logged in to Admin and Set "Locked" for "Started","Submitted" and "Aproved".
And Normal user logged in ...and access input templates...and submitting data...
Now My question is.....When Owner "locked" the workstatus....How can a normal user can submitting the data..
It should be locked ..right?
Could you please put some light on this....?
Thanks lot in advance....

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

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

Work status in data package

Hi,
Assuming category, entity, time are my work status dimension, and i have decided to give a work status of 'approved' to category=budget, entity=sales, time=2015.total, hence category and entity are both base members while time is a parent member. However i DID NOT click on "include children in the data region". But later when i checked the work status of 'category=budget, entity=sales, time=2015.aug", it has turned into "approved". Don't i have to click on "include children in the data region" in order to flow this down to the children?
Regarding the work status checking in data packages, what does the following mean:
- Select whether to check work status settings when deleting comments?
- Select whether to check work status settings when importing data?
- Select whether to check work status settings when running logic?
Thanks and regards

Hi,
You are absolutely right. Ideally, if "Should children of this data region be included?" is not selected, the children should not be included. However, I am not sure why this has happened in your case. Will definitely check on this and get back to you.
For your second query regarding the DM packages.
If you select Yes, work status settings will be copied with the data. If you select No, work status settings are not copied with the data.
Hope this helps.

Work status in BPF

Hi gurus,
i have some problems to use the work status in BPF. When i change a status, the system generate an error message
"The data did not pass validation because
the validation account does not equal zero. Correct the data and resubmit."
If anyone could help, I would appreciate it.
Anne

Hi Anne,
This happens when you have the work status defined at the application level as well. In the application, please check the members defined for the dimensions. You need to have the same members in the CV while changing the work status. Otherwise, it wont allow you to change the work status.
The other option is to go to application parameters. There is a parameter like workstatusvalidate. You can change it to N/A. Then the validation wont play any role.
Hope this helps.

Work status at application level

Hi Team
Can any one explain purpose of keeping dimension members in work status settings where dimensions are not relevent for work status at application level?

Hi Miguel,
You are comparing work status and the validation rules. However, these 2 are completely different functionalities.
For maintaining validations, please take a look at the below links from help.sap:

Bypassing work status lock in FX Restatement

Hi,
We have a requirement to bypass the work status lock when we run an FX Restatement as part of our budgeting process. I was hoping to achieve this by writing my own BPC Process Type and piggy-backing off standard code. However, hereu2019s my problem:
1. The currency conversion is part of the main consolidation program logic.
2. This program calls the main WRITE BACK logic to write the data back to the application once the conversions have been performed.
3. The WRITE BACK logic (method cl_ujr_write_back->write_back_int) has a parameter (I_BYPASS_LOCK) which, when set to TRUE, allows the work status locks to be bypassed.
4. However, the consolidation program calls the WRITE_BACK in such a way that the parameter is not set, which means the default value is taken, which is FALSE, which means the locks are respected:
So, from what I can see, my only options are:
A. Implement the WRITE_BACK BAdI and use it to bypass the lock in the special circumstance that a currency conversion is being performed (Iu2019m not even sure this is possible u2013 will need to check).
B. Create my own version of the Consolidation and Currency Conversion program by inheriting from CL_UJP_CURR_CONVERSION (annoyingly itu2019s a FINAL class) and redefining the method that calls the write back. The problem with this will be how to get the script logic parser to call my class, instead of the standard class.
Has anyone faced the same problem and found a solution?
Thanks,
Tristan

Hi Tristan,
I may be confirming what you already know that it is not possible to bypass the work status in NW version. At one of our implementations, where the customer had OLS 4.2, had a keyword which is used then in a script logic to check the work status code along with the script.
We had a solution which worked in our case as we have opened up the DM method in work status code 'Submitted' where the managers could run the packages. Not sure if this would also be applicable in your scenario.
Thanks,
Sreeni

I have no column Member Validation in Work Status Settings.
