In APO Collaborative DP, can we call Planning books separately on EP?

Dear All,
In APO-DP, I am having 6 planning books but we want to call them separetely, means in group of two's. More in to this , if we click on one link oit should take me to 1st two planning books 2nd link to next two and so on.
But the problem is that for all the planning books we are calling same service (CLPSDP) from EP.
So within one service how can we differntiate planning books execution.
Please help this is urgent requirement.
Useful points will be Rewarded.
Regards,
Aditya

Thanks for your answer, Uma!
I was testing Bapis that you mentioned and I think it's a radical solution because I would be blocking users, I just want to lock a planning book (users can keep logged in the system)
Transaction /n/sapapo/sdpplbk does not guarantee that user can access to planning book (if he/she is smart )
any suggestion?

Hi Cesar/Rasec,
If I understand correctly you want users not to change any data while some background job is being run. One way to handle this would be to lock and unlock the concerned planning area. This will prevent any users from making changes to the data in the planning area which should also mean your background job will not fail due to locks on data selection by users.
For this you can develop customization to do locking and unlocking of the planning area. The function module ENQUEUE_/SAPAPO/E_PAREA can be used to lock planning area while DEQUEUE_/SAPAPO/E_PAREA to unlock the planning area.
Hope this gives you some direction.
Thanks,
Somnath

Maybe dumb, but can you get the iphone without a calling plan?

I am currently on a sprint employee plan because a relative works there. I only pay 20 bucks a month. Regardless of how bad I want an iphone, I can justify switching while only paying 20 bucks a month for unlimited data and 500 peak minute voice calls. I am on the instinct, which i am not a particular fan of due to how basic and elementry it is. The only nice thing about it is that I can connect to the internet on my computer wherever I am by using the phone as a modem. Oh, and i will say that the navigation features are great as well!
On the other hand, the iphone is sick. I love the apps that it has to offer, and due to the fact that i get such a great deal on sprint, I was curious to know if the iphone can be purchased with only a data plan. I dont want the calling plan, just the data so taht i can use all of the apps. Is this possible? I was thinkin about an ipod touch, but i like the apps on the iphone that would require a 3g signal.

It may be possible to cancel the unlimited data plan for the iPhone 3G and if so, you would also need to request that data access be disabled for your line/number or you will be charged by the KB for all data uploaded/downloaded via AT&T's data or internet network, which isn't cheap. You would also lose visual voicemail since visual voicemail messages are downloaded to the iPhone via AT&T's data or internet network only.
The iPhone is designed to always have an internet connection as long as there is an available wi-fi network that you have access to, or you have cellular reception. If you don't use the iPhone as designed and intended, you might as well get a different phone - a phone that isn't in the smart phone category and isn't designed to always have an internet connection or access.

Possible to call a transaction from a planning book using a macro button?

Hi All,
Is it somehow possible to call a transaction using a macro button in the planning book? Also, the current selection should be passed as input parameters to the transaction.
In my example, I am trying to run the transaction /SAPAPO/MC90 - Release to Supply Network Planning from the Demand Planning Planning Book/Data View. This way if planners need to change forecasts mid month for specific selections, they can easily transfer to SNP without having to go out of interactive planning.
Thank you,
Maria

Hello Maria,
It's possible to call a transaction from a planning book using a macro button.
What you can do is ..... Create a function module and inside it use the command "Call Transaction Tcode" (ABAPer can do this) to call ur specific transaction. And this module can in turn be called from your macro. Please find the below link which explanis how to call a function module from a macro. Do let me know if you need more information on this.

How can I see the MAD results in my planning book

Hello Gurus:
I'm setting up some statistical models in APO DP and running some test data through them. How can I see the results of the MAD to verify if the models are calculating correctly? I was hoping I can see the monthly MAD values in a key figure in my planning book?
Does anyone know?
Andrea

Hello Andrea,
As far as I know, I don't think there's a standard key figure or macro could acheive this.
MAD or other errors in forecast are not saved as time series, so I don't know why you want to see them as time series.
You can see the forecast errors in forecast result screen, and if you push comparision button, you can see forecast errors for several last runs.
But I don't know how to put these value into planning book, unless you want to apply your own logic ...
Best Regards,
Ada

Have a discontinued calling plan. Will I be forced into new plan when my contract is up next month?

I looked around for the answer, but couldn't find it.
I have an old plan, "family national freedom 900", with two lines on it. The total is 59.99 + 9.99 (talk only, no texting). My contract ends 9/29. We have two samsung hues.
When my contract ends next month, will I be forced to change to one of the new, more expensive family plans?
Both phones are eligibe for Ne2. I'd like to get a droid2, and I understand that I'd have to do the data plan for 29.99, and I'd be happy keeing the hue for the other phone (or we could upgrade it to another feature phone that does not require a data plan), but I'd really like to be able to keep my current calling plan. Any idea if this will work? Should I just hold off on upgrading until I know what is going to happen with my plan?

You may want to ask this on the Alltel board - Former Alltel Customer Assistance - (if you haven't already) where those more familiar with Alltel, the changeover, and all the nuances and ramifications can give you a better answer. It may be possible to do what you want and still keep your Alltel plan, but my guess is you would be switched to a Verizon plan.
The closest would be the Talk plan for 69.99 for 700 minutes (same price, but fewer minutes) and then add the data plan for the Droid 2. If you do not upgrade, you will be able to keep your plan indefinitely. When you do upgrade, most likely you will need to change your plan to a Verizon one...there are some people that have kept their Alltel calling plans with smartphones though, so it IS possible. I'm not sure of the details of the plans and phones involved though....

Error message when I calling planning layout in the STS

Dear
I'm trying to use Status and Tracking System with BPS ( SEM 4.0 SP10, BW 3.5 SP14 ).
But I got some error messages when I calling planning layout in the STS screen..
I designed 2 lower unit(A,B) and 1 upper unit(C) for the test. and using Bottom-up work-flow.
I did
1. Create Planning Area in the BPS0 ( also Level, Package, Layout ..)
2. Created Web Interface in the Web Interface Builder using the upper BPS Layout .
3. Customizing STS
    - Create Sub Plan & Session
    - Asssign Hierarchy to Sub Plan
    - Determine attribute for created planning session ( Bottom-up, Auto mail )
    - Define Header characteristics for planning session to contains the planning package completely.
    - Determine Date, Person Responsible and Layout.
4. Send Start mail
5. Open STS Web Start Screen ( using B Unit responsible user .)
When he click "Open Planning" icon in the screen the following error messages were happened...
I've no idea for that because I didn't use any variables or offset settings.
I guess that comes from header settings for the planning session because when I deleted the header settings for the planning sessions, I could see the planning layout.
but I could not use lock processing in the STS.
Could you tell me what's happening to me?
[ Following error message ]
Correct the data on variables and offset in character string "?
Message Number UPC_FW092
Long Text Diagnosis
Character string "", which contains data on the variables and offset, has an invalid format, and cannot be converted.
Procedure
Correct the character string, so that it has the correct format. A correct entry on variable and offset has the following form:
<VARIABLE_NAME> [{ + | - } OFFSET]
Examples:
VAR0
VAR1+1
VAR2 - 2.
Also check whether the variable, that you want to use is available in the planning area.

Hello,
this seems to be a bug. The error message should include a variable name between ''. Since there is none, the function that raises the error was not called correctly.
It's not likely that this is related to STS since STS does not use variables at all. It's probably a problem with the layout. If you can't resolve it, please open a message to SAP Support.

Change calling plan

We are on a 1400 minute calling plan and are not using nearly as many minutes as we used to. We want to scale back down to 750 minutes. I have been told repeatedly by Verizon I can do this online, but I cannot find where. Under the Plan area of My Verizon it only asks if I want to change messages, Internet spam and other stuff, not my basic plan. It's like finding a needle in a haystack, maybe by design. Can someone plese point me to exactly where I can do this?

benhath wrote:
Under "My Verison" , choose "Calling Plans and Services" then "Change Minutes, Text, or Data". Note that if you have an old grandfathered plan (Like I have family shared 450 from years ago that is no longer offered), your plan may not be visible. In this case for any options on that page you should see a warning that you must call support to make the desired changes. DO NOT make changes in this case since doing so may change your minutes.

Also note if you use a substantial amount of Friends & Family minutes, these will disappear if you lower your plan to the 700 minute plan.
For example, on the 1400 minute plan you receive 10 Friends & Family #s. If you call these numbers for a total of 500 minutes/month and all of your other calls total, lets say, 500 minutes/month, then the minutes usage on the 1400 minute plan would only show up as 500 minutes counted against your allowance.
If you were on the 700 minute plan, you would not get the Friends & Family #s and your usage would show up as 1000 minutes, which would be your entire allowance and 300 minutes of overage minutes for an overage fee of $135 for this month.
Before you make this change, be sure that you will not fall into this category, as this could get very expensive.

APO DP planning books - use of 2 grids in view

I am using APO DP V5.
I know that it's possible to have 2 grids in a planning book view.
Can anyone give good examples of where 2 grids have been found to be useful?
Would it be possible to have 1 grid for 'forecast' and 1 grid for 'history'?
Thanks,
Bob Austin

The definition of two grids in a data view (not sure if you mean that by planning book view) is only possible when creating a data view for the first time. Once a data view is created you cannot add the second grid as the Table 2 option is grayed out under Title section of Data View tab.
Good example of using 2 grids is while using DP BOM functionality and also in those cases where the top grid keyfigures are to be drilled down but the bottom grid keyfigures remain at aggregate level. So if you want to compare the forecast numbers in detail with the total budget then use the total budget keyfigure in Grid 2. Remember while drilling down, keyfigures in Grid 2 are not drilled down.
In you case of having forecast in one grid and histroy in another can be effective since the data in the keyfigures are in two different time horizons. But remember if you have history in Grid 2 then the data will be aggregate (assuming you have loaded multiple CVCs) and will not be drilled down which the Forecast keyfigure in Grid 1 is drilled down to lower levels.
Hope this helps.

Best practices for loading apo planning book data to cube for reporting

Hi,
I would like to know whether there are any Best practices for loading apo planning book data to cube for reporting.
I have seen 2 types of Design:
1) The Planning Book Extractor data is Loaded first to the APO BW system within a Cube, and then get transferred to the Actual BW system. Reports are run from the Actual BW system cube.
2) The Planning Book Extractor data is loaded directly to a cube within the Actual BW system.
We do these data loads during evening hours once in a day.
Rgds
Gk

Hi GK,
What I have normally seen is:
1) Data would be extracted from APO Planning Area to APO Cube (FOR BACKUP purpose). Weekly or monthly, depending on how much data change you expect, or how critical it is for business. Backups are mostly monthly for DP.
2) Data extracted from APO planning area directly to DSO of staging layer in BW, and then to BW cubes, for reporting.
For DP monthly, SNP daily
You can also use the option 1 that you mentioned below. In this case, the APO cube is the backup cube, while the BW cube is the one that you could use for reporting, and this BW cube gets data from APO cube.
Benefit in this case is that we have to extract data from Planning Area only once. So, planning area is available for jobs/users for more time. However, backup and reporting extraction are getting mixed in this case, so issues in the flow could impact both the backup and the reporting. We have used this scenario recently, and yet to see the full impact.
Thanks - Pawan

APO Cube data is not showing in Planning Book

Hi All,
Please help me with the following issue.. We use to load the data to APO cube manually from Flat file by executing BW (Backlog, Historical) reports every week. (not a good practice). That time Planning book was working fine.. And now we automated this process by creating the data marts from BW ODS to APO Cube and the loads are successful with process chain.. But I dont see cube data in Planning book.. In this process the existing info objects properties (Alpha has been removed) has been changed on APO side for mapping and loading purpose.. So when I load the data , the load is successful but I dont see the data in the Planning book(Note : the cube was refreshed and I guess I need to generate CVCs and do some thing in TSCUBE).. Please explain me the details steps. I am BW consultant and dont know much on APO.Present status i see the data in APO cube and not in Planning Book
Thank you
Arya

Hi karan
have you loaded the data from APO cube into the Planning book with TSCUBE ? you can add this step in your process chain also.
If you have made changes in the strcture of BW data mapping then you dont need to change CVCs.

Can we call sap screens from our own abap program?

Hi... Friends...,
I want to develop one program...
In that program my selection screen contains transcation code and screen number as input parameters.
so now if i give inputs as...
> VA41
> 4001
for given T'code and screen number...
I hav to get that screen directly!
other wise it has to give error message like...
> NO SCREEN EXISTS FOR VA41 WITH GIVEN SCREEN NUMBER
Is it possible???
If possible... guide me the logic...!
Thanks,
Naveen.I
Edited by: Naveen Inuganti on Jul 14, 2008 11:15 AM

No no.. thats ok...
we can call screen and we can update...
But in VA01 or in VA41 .. we are having more than 10 screens... can i call them with my selection screen inputs...?
let me tel you one situation.
I am having billing plan in VA41 screen's 4002nd screen so now i know the screen number and t'code here.
So if i want to know the field documnetation or technical details of billing plan field... i hav to go through va41 transaction...

And...,
one more thing here we know that there will be some mandatory inputs for screens to get the screen which we are calling!
So this reuirement may not possible for that kind of screen!
Even.... I want your suggetions!
