IM with Inv Prog/Inv Measures - Planning/Budgeting/Distribution

Hello,
I am looking to implement the use of appropriation requests via Workflow, to use with investment measures budgeted and hence activated with availability control. The workflow side of things is working fine in terms of creating/approving the ARs, but I feel I am missing something key in the subsequent process of planning/budgeting/distribution.
In the test system I can create an AR assigned to an investment program position with plan values assigned, which Workflow can then go off to obtain its necessary approvals. However I notice that before the AR is approved I am still able to roll up these plan values, copy to budget and distribute down. Shouldn't plan values only be copied from approved ARs?
If this scenario is unlikely in a live scenario I still feel unsure over the process of planning/budgeting/distributing budget once an AR is approved. As I understand it once an AR is approved the plan values of its program position need to be rolled up via IM34, then the plan values need to be copied to the budget via IMCCP1, then the budget needs to be distributed back down the tree via IM52 and then the investment measure needs the specific monetary amount entered against it for availability control to activate against the internal order.
Isn't this a long winded scenario for one AR? Is this the only way that an investment measure can obtain approved and budgeted controlled spend from an AR? What if there were two ARs assigned to an investment program position, one was approved and one yet to be approved - how would the plan values be rolled up of the approved AR and not the unapproved one?
Is there something key in the process I am missing?
Thanks
Jo.

Jo,
Ballpark this is correct.  But ARs are transferred to the position via IMCCP2 and has selection criteria by AR if necessary.

  • BPC Microsoft Plan/Budget distribution

    Hi there,
    We are beginners with this product and we would like to plan some project using the BPC.
    One question arise if using BPC it is possible to distribute a plan value using some formulation?
    I mean we have an amount to distribute in 60 months ..the first 30 months have a lineal formula the rest 30 months are using a constant value.
    How could we do that using Microsoft BPC?
    Thanks in advance for you help.
    FedeX

    Hello FedeX.
    Yes BPC has that functionality. It is called 'Allocation' using script logic.
    You can find the document how to use allocation.
    http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BPX/EnterprisePerformanceManagement%28EPM%29How-to+Guides
    You can find a document "How to Utilize Allocations in SAP BPC 5.x "
    Even though it is for the version 5.X but will work in 7 and 7.5
    Hope it will help you.

  • Deletion of Plan Budget/Reset of Plan Data

    Hi
    I entered the plan budget by transaction "FMPLCPD - Change Plan Data"  in planning version. after that I executed the deletion budget program to delete this  planning data.  system deleted the line items from table FMBDP but not from table FMBDT.
    Then I reset the plan data by transaction "FMCYRESET - Reset Plan Data ", Now system deleted the amount from FMBDT and created line items in FMBDP. After that I again executed the deletion program, system deleted the line items from FMBDP and updated the double amount in table FMBDT
    Please advise

    Thanks for your  query
    I am still unable to solve the issue, when the system delete the plan items from FMBDP, it update the total table FMBDT with double amount with deletion program. e.g if in table FMBDP amount is 100, deletion program delete this line item and update in total table with amount -200
    Also in the report FMRP_RW_BUDGET - Budget Overview displaying the data with no line item
    Thanks

  • EPM Planning & Budgeting Partner Implementation Boot Camp Ready 2 Launch

    The Oracle PartnerNetwork launched a new Implementation Boot Camp program at OOW 2008. Since then Oracle has made available to partners ~8 different Boot Camps and expect to have near 20 by the end of February 2009.
    That said, we are close to finalizing the content for an EPM Planning & Budgeting Implementation Boot Camp, and I am interested to hear if there is any interest in this Boot Camp among this audience.
    Goals / Objectives
    The EPM Planning Bootcamp will provide implementation instruction on Oracle’s EPM System products Planning functionality. The bootcamp will be a fast-paced, five-day class, teaching students what they need to know in order to implement and manage EPM Planning applications. Goals for the bootcamp are described below.
    The Planning bootcamp is designed to take consultants through all the steps needed in an implementation of Hyperion Planning. The class begins with an overview of Essbase, the foundation of Hyperion Planning. It provides a general overview of Planning and Planning terms, the architecture of all the Planning components, and how they are commonly used. The course goes over all the steps to create an application from scratch. This involves some prep work outside of Planning and leads to developing the application in both the Planning Windows and Web clients. Participants will modify existing dimensions and build out the hierarchies using the Web client.
    Audience
    This bootcamp is intended for prospective users and implementers of the Planning and Budgeting functionality of Oracle EPM or implementers that are currently familiar with the basics of EPM Planning and looking to strengthen their base of knowledge in the product.
    Ideal participants are Oracle partners (SIs and resellers) with backgrounds in business information systems and a clientele of customers with ongoing or prospective EPM initiatives. Alternatively, partners with the background described above and an interest in evolving their practice to a similar profile are suitable participants.
    EPM Planning & Budgeting Bootcamp
    The bootcamp shows developers how to build out dimensions using Classic Planning and by using EPMA. It covers the mechanics and cover strategies for automating the build process such as interface tables. The reviews data loads using Load Rules to load the Planning database. The course focuses on tasks that end-users must perform during the planning cycle. It walks students through creating and modifying forms, working with forms to enter data, adding annotations, and the rest of the form features such as running business rules and managing task lists. It covers how to use the forms in the Smart View client and finishes up the end-user perspective by going through Workflow Management and the process of submitting a plan for review. The final section of the course covers Security and other administration topics such as automation and deployment.

  • CRM - Success Measure Planning

    Hi all,
    We have set up success measure planning in our CRM7.0 system. This is based upon layouts created in BPS.
    In CRM when starting to do some planning on a campaign, the users select the success measure and unit of measure. Then they press <Apply> and start planning.
    We have a request from the users to be able to default the value for unit of measure from the success measure. E.g. I am selecting success measure xx, and the system automatically knows, that this success measures uses "%".
    Is this possible to implement ?
    KR Mikkel

    Hi,
    If somewhere you are maintaining the relationship between success measure and corresponding Unit of measure then you can do that.
    You can write your custom code to save the data into the back end cubes where you modify the characteristics value of Unit of measure based on the value of Success Measure..
    I'm not very familiar with CRM with BPS functionality..  But in normal BPS layouts you can attach a planning function which executes "after data in changed" in layouts .
    The logic for planning function  should be to modify the buffer data ( unit of measure) based on Success Measure..
    Thanks

  • Planning, Budgeting, Forecasting, Reporting & Analysis Add-on for SBO?

    Any proven solutions out there for planning, budgeting, forecasting, reporting & analysis for SAP Business One? Something that is applicable to a service-based industry. Something like http://centage.com/products-planningmaestro-product-overview.htm.  Thanks!

    Hi,
    There are no other batch scripts I am aware of, you will have to create any new ones.
    In regards to backing up with business rules and planning, that would be mainly be backing up the repository.
    You can also use LCM to export your objects and this can be called from command line.

  • Training Plan & Budgeting

    Hello,
    Can anyone please tell me how can we configure training plan & budgeting in OLM. If there is any document related to this please share it with me.
    The scenario I am working on is:
    - Every dept has a training plan & budget for a year.
    - whenever the training budget for that dept crosses 95% within 10 months, it should send an alert to trg. administrator / OLM admin.
    How can we make this possible.
    In both OLM user guide and Imp guide I couldn't find an answer to this.
    Thanks and regards,
    Jeeves

    Hi Jeeves ,
    There is no direct solution for budgets in OLM module . But for your budget requirment you can use standard HR bugets and can store the training budgets aganist each department . and regarding sending alert to training dept .. develop a an alert and specify your in conditions like calculating the actual cost for each department and then comparing with the budgeted value of the department and trigger the alert if the actual cost >=95%

  • Use ODI to Extract Data from Hyperion Planning & Budgeting report to Excel

    Hello
    Can someone tell me please how to Extract Data from (Financial Reporting in) Hyperion Planning & Budgeting into Excel Using ODI?
    Would the steps be the same as Creating an ODI Project and Interface: Exporting a Flat File to a Flat File? If not, why?
    Best Regards.

    Where do you think the financial reports get their data from? Financial Reports pull data from data sources such as Essbase, HFM.

  • ME51N : how to deal with different units of measure as defined in MM01?

    Hi Folk,
    Could you please help me ?
    Some of our materials booked in stock are purchased by our purchasing department in Europe but as well by our purchasing department in US.
    The base unit of measure of those materials are defined with KG (kilogram) in the masterdata file (MM01).
    Why this is not allowed to enter a purchase requisition (ME51N) with other unit of measure than KG?  My purchasing department in US is not able to work with kilogram and thus they need to enter the requisition with US units of measure (pounds).
    However when we create purchase orders, we can play with other units of measure.
    Does someone can explain to me how to create a PR with a unit of measure different from the default one?  Or could you share your experience to bypass this issue.  Note that we really would like to have the same material number both for Europe and US (with different plants and storage locations).
    Thank you very much!
    François.
