Input schedule: Derive key for key range from Dimension member properties

Hey guys,
I'm facing the problem within a input layout. There are three keys in the row key range.
The first row key is filled by the members of a dimension. The second and third row
should be filled by the dependencies shown in the dimension members.
Example:
Dimension:
- Order number
Properties:
- Client (also implemented as standalone dimension where all required characteristics are maintaned)
- Costcenter (also implemented as standalone dimension where all required characteristics are maintaned)
Entries in dimension members of Ordern number:
Order number, Client, Costcenter:
1000, 10, 511
2000, 10, 533
3000, 12, 511
4000, 15, 588
Entries in dimension Members of Client:
10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20
Entries in dimension Members of Costcenter:
511,533,555,588
My row key range is defined as follows: Exp1: Order number, Exp2: Client, Exp3: Costcenter
For Planning purposes i need a input schedule that schows only the valid combinations shown above
in master data of order number. Is this possible or do I have to leverage script logic to use dependencies shown in master data for reporting oder planning purposes !
Cheers,
Moritz

Hi Moritz,
As Nilanjan said, this is not really possible with a basic EVDRE at the moment. Your best bet is probably to either build your own solution using EVEXP, EVGET, and EVSND, or to use an EVDRE based on only the Order # to get the values and an EVSND based on the Order # and the properties of the Order # in the AfterRange of the EVDRE.
I actually like the second option a lot better (EVDRE with EVSND in the AfterRange) because for larger queries the read performance should be better and it will be more maintainable in the long run.

After AFAB, I've changed depreciation key for an asset from 20% to 0%

Hi All,
I've posted depreciation (AFAB) for periods from 01 to 04 (Depreciation Area 20).
Later I've changed the depreciation key for an asset from 20% to 0%.
In my test SAP allows me to update depreciation data only in the period 05 (for previous data).
Is there the way to repete the depreciation posted in the periods from 01 to 04!
Cluo d anyone help me??
Thanks

Rossi,
Since you have already posted the depreciation for the periods 01 to 04, the system assumes that there are no postings pending for those periods and hence shows the recalculated depreciation in period 05. But you can do the repeat depreciation run using AFAB transaction code. You can try them for period 04 and the entire depreciation posted till 04 will get charged in Period 04 itself.

How to create a foreign key for the table from two different tables?

Hi All,
I have a three table like below. In the below table SAMPLE_CONS_CHECK and SAMPLE_CONS2_CHECK will be having the primary key for NAME column. The same SAMPLE_CONS3_CHECK table also having the primary key for NAME column and forieign key for SAMPLE_CONS_CHECK and SAMPLE_CONS2_CHECK tables. See the below code 2
code 1:
CREATE TABLE SAMPLE_CONS_CHECK
        (NAME VARCHAR2(10),
        SERIES VARCHAR2(5)
CREATE TABLE SAMPLE_CONS2_CHECK
        (NAME VARCHAR2(5),
         MODEL NUMBER
CREATE TABLE SAMPLE_CONS3_CHECK
        (NAME VARCHAR2(5),
         MODEL_NO NUMBER
        )code 2
alter table SAMPLE_CONS_CHECK
add constraint SAMPLE_CONS_CHECK_pk primary key (NAME)
alter table SAMPLE_CONS2_CHECK
add constraint SAMPLE_CONS2_CHECK_pk primary key (NAME)
alter table SAMPLE_CONS3_CHECK
add constraint SAMPLE_CONS3_CHECK_pk primary key (NAME)
ALTER TABLE SAMPLE_CONS3_CHECK ADD
CONSTRAINT SAMPLE_CONS3_CHECK_FK1 FOREIGN KEY
     NAME
) REFERENCES SAMPLE_CONS_CHECK
    NAME
) ON DELETE CASCADE;
ALTER TABLE SAMPLE_CONS3_CHECK ADD
CONSTRAINT SAMPLE_CONS3_CHECK_FK2 FOREIGN KEY
     NAME
) REFERENCES SAMPLE_CONS2_CHECK
    NAME
) ON DELETE CASCADE;From the above schenario i am able to insert the data to SAMPLE_CONS3_CHECK table. But the parent data is already available in the parent table. The problem is here two different constarints from two different tables. While inserting, it is checking from both the tables whether the parent is exist or not.
How can i solve this problem? Can anyone halp me about this?
Thanks

Actually the design is completely incorrect.
What you say is
I have
'foo', 'foo series'
'foo','foo model'
'foo',666
By virtue of table3 referring to both table1 and table2.
This means you actually need to have 1 (one) table:
'foo','foo series','foo model', 666
And the 'problem' disappears.

Retrieve data from a report or database to an input schedule in BPC for exc

Hi,
I am using BPC for excel ( v 5.1).
I've created an Input Schedule(Input-1) using BPC for excel and sent data to the dB.
I need this (Input-1) data to use it in a new Input Schedule(Input-2), for further manipulation.
I need this data to be dumped in a sheet for further calculations in (Input-2).
How can i bring this data?
I created an input schedule(Input-2) and tried building an evdre in an excel macro to get it as a report of the 1st Input. But i was unsuccessful. I faced an error "ERR: Invaled KeyRange Header".
Am i thinking in the correct way? Do we 've any other options to retrieve this data?
Need your help to proceed....
(Pretty soon, the environment is going to be with version 7.0)

The macro i use to run when my workbook opens is as follows:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
    ActiveWorkbook.Sheets.Add
    Sheets(Sheets.Count).Name = "Dump_Sheet"
    Sheets("Dump_Sheet").Range("a1") = "Application1"
    Sheets("Dump_Sheet").Range("a2") = "=EvDRE($A$1,A14:B20)"
    Application.Run ("MNU_eANALYZE_REFRESH")
End Sub
Also I 've tried this too:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
    ActiveWorkbook.Sheets.Add
    Sheets(Sheets.Count).Name = "Dump_Sheet"
    Sheets("Dump_Sheet").Range("a1") = "=EvDRE(""Application1"",A14:B20)"
    Application.Run ("MNU_eANALYZE_REFRESH")
End Sub
Both of these gave me the same error code :
#ERR : Invalid KeyRange Header

How Do I get a License key for Trial version from the App Store?

I downloaded a Trial version of Aperture 3.1.2 a few weeks ago from the App Store. I love it. Now I want to buy it, but, can't figure out how to get a license key from the App Store. When you start up Aperture Trial version, a 'nag' box comes up asking if you want to buy the application or continue using the trial version or Authorize (I guess that is what you would pick once you have the key). If I pick "Buy", the application opens Safari and takes me to the Apple online store, NOT the App store! At the Apple Store, you can buy the key for $199 or an upgrade from a previous version for $99. Whoopie! What is Apple thinking? The App store is selling Aperture for $79.99. I guess that means you don't get the box or written manuals (which I haven't used for any software in many years).
So how do I get a license key for the App Store version? Do I just Go to the App Store, pay the money, download and install the program over again. Then transfer my trial version library somehow? Then deinstall the trial version? I'd love to buy and use Aperture for $79.99, but, I'm not willing to pay $199 for it. Apple has me confused.
Anybody have a clue?

Thanks for the 1-800 call tip Allen.
P.S. I'm quite willing to put in the time and effort necessary to learn Aperture (or any other software I decide to use, "Pro" or not). I simply don't see the value in buying the box version when I'm pretty sure I won't be using any paper manuals. I very comfortable using online help files, having done so as a professional numerical control programmer for many years in my work. For reference, I'm retired, on a limited income and will be using Aperture as a rank amateur photographer who could use a little more horsepower than iPhoto offers.
I'll call Apple tomorrow.

How can I create a schedule in Java for sending mail from SAP?

Hello;
I am coding a programme in Java which reads data from KM. I wish to schedule a job which sends mail to a list of persons selected from KM. I read the article by Prakash Singh and based my programme on his explanations.
/people/prakash.singh4/blog/2005/04/20/did-you-know-you-can-schedule-jobs-in-portal-using-kms-scheduler-task
My first problem is that I don't know how to send mail in SAP, and how to use Java to send this mail. My second problem is how to develop this "schedule job" function - is it enough to use Prakash Singh's method, or does it need to be changed?
Can anyone help me with these questions?
Thank you very much, R.E.

Hi,
I dont know about the CATS system. But when ur user selects the varaint, he should remove his own id and execute the query. This should display all the variants existing for that program. Then he can select the required variant.
The user can also save this varaint under his own ID
Hope it helps.

How to build dynamic input schedule from version

Hi experts,
I want to create an input schedule based on my category selection which will allow users to enter data to budget part but changing the actual part is prohibited.
For example I have category member which is 2010-09-1. This means I am working on 2010 Budget which has 9 periods of actual and 3 periods of forecast and 2011 Budget. In my input schedule I would have 24 months from 01.2010 to 12.2011 and I will copy actual to budget for the first 9 months but I do not want users to change first 9 months actual data from input schedule.
What solution can you propose for this in BPC NW ?
Regards,
ergin

Hi Ergin,
From the description you have provided, I guess you will have the TIME dimension in the Column. The CATEGORY would be set to 2010-09-1, lets suppose. In this case, the first 9 columns should be locked for any changes. For this, you need to use the Data Validation technique, which is native to Excel.
select an empty cell, lets say D1. in this cell, you should fetch the value "2010-09" from the version "2010-09-1". If the version is changed to "2010-10-1", the cell D1 will be automatically updated and will show "2010-10". In the column, in the row just above the Time dimension, write a formula to fetch the year and monthnum property of the Time member. Lets say, the time dimension members are displayed in the cells E4 to AB4 (24 columns for 24 months). In the cell E2, you can write the formula, =EVPRO("application name",E$4,"YEAR")&"-"&EVPRO("application Name",E$4,"MonthNum"). This will return 2010-01 in the cell E2 for the member 2010.JAN. Similarly, for 2010.FEB, the cell should display "2010-02". We will keep the formula in E2 only. After the expansion, the formula also will be expanded for the other cells.
Select the first data cell of the EVDRE report. Open Data Validation. In the Settings Tab, in the Formula field, write =D1>E$2. Then go to the error alert tab and choose the style as stop and give some title and message. This would typically mean that if value of D1 (in this case 2010-09) is not greater than E2 (in this case 2010-01), then the error message will be displayed, when we try to enter values in these cells. And it will not allow to enter any value.
Once the EVDRE is expanded, this data validation will be copied into all the other data cells. So, in this way, the enter input schedule can be kept dynamic.
Hope this helps.

BPC for Excel Input Schedules

Hi
With Input Schedules in BPC for Excel, is there an easy way to see which cells get uploaded ?, for example, if I open a report written by another person, how can I easily see which cells get upload when MNU_ESUBMIT_REFRESH runs ?.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Kind Regards
Gavin

HI,
There is no specific way (something like a menu command). You can define a specific colors or format for the cells(or some formulas which change the format of the cell), but this is related to the input schedule design.

LIV tolerance for price variance from PO to LIV

Hi Friends,
I am finding difficulty in setting up the tolerance key for price variance from PO value to invoice value. Suppose if PO price is $100 then system should allow upto $105 with out blocking means with percentage of 5%. If it exceeds 5% system should block the invoice.
Please suggest the tolerance key to use and if any other settings required.
Thanks...
Best Regards

Hi,
Following is the SAP help on the Tolerance settings for Invoice. Check the config and decide what is best for you (from your brief explanation it looks like AP and PP may be relevant fro your case)
===================
Set Tolerance Limits
    In this step, you specify the tolerance limits for each tolerance key
    for each company code.
    When processing an invoice, the R/3 System checks each item for
    variances between the invoice and the purchase order or goods receipt.
    The different types of variances are defined in tolerance keys.
    The system uses the following tolerance keys to check for variances:
    o   AN: Amount for item without order reference
        If you activate the item amount check, the system checks every line
        item in an invoice with no order reference against the absolute
        upper limit defined.
    o   AP: Amount for item with order reference
        If you activate the item amount check, the system checks specific
        line items in an invoice with order reference against the absolute
        upper limit defined. Which invoice items are checked depends on how
        you configure the item amount check.
    o   BD: Form small differences automatically
        The system checks the balance of the invoice against the absolute
        upper limit defined. If the upper limit is not exceeded, the system
        automatically creates a posting line called Expense/Income from
        Small Differences, making the balance zero and allowing the system
        to post the document.
    o   BR: Percentage OPUn variance (IR before GR)
        The system calculates the percentage variance between the following
        ratios: quantity invoiced in order price quantity units : quantity
        invoiced in order units and quantity ordered in order price quantity
        units : quantity ordered in order units. The system compares the
        variance with the upper and lower percentage tolerance limits.
    o   BW: Percentage OPUn variance (GR before IR)
        The system calculates the percentage variance between the following
        ratios: quantity invoiced in order price quantity units: quantity
        invoiced in order units and goods receipt quantity in order price
        quantity units : goods receipt quantity in order units. The system
    compares the variance with the upper and lower percentage limits
    defined.
o   DQ: Exceed amount: quantity variance
    If a goods receipt has been defined for an order item and a goods
    receipt has already been posted, the system multiplies the net order
    price by (quantity invoiced - (total quantity delivered - total
    quantity invoiced)).
    If no goods receipt has been defined, the system multiplies the net
    order price by (quantity invoiced - (quantity ordered - total
    quantity invoiced)).
    The system compares the outcome with the absolute upper and lower
    limits defined.
    This allows relatively high quantity variances for invoice items for
    small amounts, but only small quantity variances for invoice items
    for larger amounts.
    You can also configure percentage limits for the quantity variance
    check. In this case, the system calculates the percentage variance
    from the expected quantity, irrespective of the order price, and
    compares the outcome with the percentage limits configured.
    The system also carries out a quantity variance check for planned
    delivery costs.
o   DW: Quantity variance when GR quantity = zero
    If a goods receipt is defined for an order item but none has as yet
    been posted, the system multiplies the net order price by (quantity
    invoiced + total quantity invoiced so far).
    The system then compares the outcome with the absolute upper
    tolerance limit defined.
    If you have not maintained tolerance key DW for your company code,
    the system blocks an invoice for which no goods receipt has been
    posted yet. If you want to prevent this block, then set the
    tolerance limits for your company code for tolerance key DW to Do
    not check.
o   KW: Variance from condition value
    The system calculates the amount by which each delivery costs item
    varies from the product of quantity invoiced * planned delivery
    costs/ planned quantity. It compares the variance with the upper and
    lower limits defined (absolute limits and percentage limits).
o   LA: Amount of blanket purchase order
        The system determines the number of days by which the invoice is
        outside the planned time interval. If the posting date of the
        invoice is before the validity period, the system calculates the
        number of days between the posting date and the start of the
        validity period. If the posting date of the invoice is after the
        validity period, the system calculates the number of days between
        the posting date and the end of the validity period. The system
        compares the number of days with the with the absolute upper limit
        defined.
    o   PP: Price variance
        The system determines by how much each invoice item varies from the
        product of quantity invoiced * order price. It then compares the
        variance with the upper and lower limits defined (absolute limits
        and percentage limits).
        When posting a subsequent debit/credit, the system first checks if a
        price check has been defined for subsequent debits/credits. If so,
        the system calculates the difference between (value of subsequent
        debit/credit + value invoiced so far) / quantity invoiced so far *
        quantity to be debited/credited and the product of the quantity to
        be debited/credited * order price and compares this with the upper
        and lower tolerance limits (absolute limits and percentage limits).
    o   PS: Price variance: estimated price
        If the price in an order item is marked as an estimated price, for
        this item, the system calculates the difference between the invoice
        value and the product of quantity invoiced * order price and
        compares the variance with the upper and lower tolerance limits
        defined (absolute limits and percentage limits).
        When posting a subsequent debit/credit, the system first checks
        whether a price check has been defined for subsequent
        debits/credits, If so, the system calculates the difference between
        (value of subsequent debit/credit + value invoiced so far) /
        quantity invoiced so far * quantity to be debited/credited and the
        product quantity to be debited/credited * order price. It then
        compares the variance with the upper and lower tolerance limits
        defined (absolute limits and percentage limits).
    o   ST: Date variance (value x days)
        The system calculates for each item the product of amount *
        (scheduled delivery date - date invoice entered) and compares this
        product with the absolute upper limit defined. This allows
        relatively high schedule variances for invoice items for small
        amounts, but only small schedule variances for invoice items for
        large amounts.
    o   VP: Moving average price variance
        When a stock posting line is created as a result of an invoice item,
        the system calculates the new moving average price that results from
        the posting. It compares the percentage variance of the new moving
        average price to the old price using the percentage tolerance limits
        defined.
    Variances are allowed within predefined tolerance limits. If a variance
    exceeds a tolerance limit, however, the system issues a message
    informing the user. If an upper limit (except with BD and VP) is
    exceeded, the invoice is blocked for payment when you post it. You must
    then release the invoice in a separate step. If the tolerance limit for
    BD is breached, the system cannot post the invoice.
    Note that if you set all limits for a tolerance key to Do not check, the
    system does not check that tolerance limit. Therefore any variance would
    be accepted. This does not make sense particularly in the case of the
    tolerance key Form small differences automatically.
    Activities
    Configure the tolerance limits for the individual tolerance keys.

Max file size of input schedule

Hello experts,
We are using BPC 7.5 NW sp4
I've created input schedule and it's size about 6MB. I tried to save this input schedule, but system returns error.
Currently the biggest file I've managed to save is 2MB
Does anybody know max allowed size of file for input schedules and reports? And How we can change this parameter
Best regards,
Evgen Chadiuk

Hi Evgen,
BPC doesn't handle upload of large files through the Excel interface very well. If you go into UJFS (in BW) and find the input schedules for your application, you should be able to upload the input schedule through that interface.
A good way to "compress" reports and input schedules is to delete all data from them before saving. I don't know if this will work in your case, but maybe it's another option.

Difference between input schedule and Journal?

Hi all, we need a brief explanation of Journals vs regular Input Schedules.
Can an expert explain to me the differences between a Journal Entry and just a regular Input schedule?
1.For journal entries are you only supposed to enter the change or the total for that account?
2. Where are journal entries stored?
3. Can journal entries be viewed latter and/or reversed?
4. Do Journal entries get put into the audit tables?
Thanks

Hi Dermot,
I think you're right that this is a significant difference between the two. I believe journals operate just as you expect - they are an "additional" amount.
So if you already have $100 in an account and you put in a journal for $20, then the system will do the logic to make that account value $120 behind the scenes. If you input $20 into an input schedule the system will make that account value $20, not $120.

Using a range of dates for Key Date

In a HR Bi data warehouse, we have a position-to-position hierarchy, where each of the nodes are time dependent. So, it shows for each node, valid from and valid to dates, and all the employees who are reporting to that position. This hierarchy is built on the infoobject 0HRPOSITION, which is maintained in R/3 and extracted to BI.
Let us take an example: Position 1000 is valid from 1-1-2006 to 6-30-2006 Employees reporting to this position are A,B,C,D
Position 1000 is valid from 7-1-2006 to 12-31-9999 Employees reporting to this position are A,E,F,G
When a user chooses the position 1000, and date range 1-1-2006 to 12-31-2006, it show the complete list of employees as
A,B,C,D,E,F,G.
Because the Keydate can only be a single value, and it is automatically taking today's date, and pulling the nodes based on that.
I have created a hierarchy node variable on the 0HRPOSITION infoObject, and entered the value 1000, with no value for the keydate.
The system is simply showing employees, A,E,F and G. That is my problem
My requirement is this: I like to be able to give a date range, (for the hierarchy) say from 1-1-2006 to 12/31/2006 and get the complete list of Employees, which is A,B,C,D,E,F,G.
Is this possible? Can I change the way this hierarchy is defined so that I can pull the possible values for a range?

Thank you Ajay.
After some thinking, I have realized that these options will not work.
We have a position-to-position hierarchy that shows who reports to who in the organization. This hierarchy is built on the Infoobject 0HRPOSITION. Each node in this hierarchy has is time-dependent. Note that, the entire hierarchy is not timedependent. Only the individual position nodes are time-dependent.
This 0HRPOSITION infoobject exists in the Heacount cube as one of the characteristics. Here is my requirement.
1. I want to show in a report, all the employees (directly or indirectly) reporting to a manager for a period of say, 1 year?
I know that I can specify a key date for the hierarchy 0HRPOSITION, then the report will show all the employees (direct and indirect) reporting to a position say 6/30/2008. I don't want this for a specific date, I want to get ALL the employees (direct and indirect) reporting to a position in a range of dates( say 1 year)
Does that make sense? How do we achieve this goal?

Date range for key date in hierarchy

Dear Friends,
Is there a work around for single key date restriction for time dependent hierarchy.Bcos i can only select one key date in teh report for my hierarchy so that it will take that hierarchy which falls in this date and display the result accordingly.
But is there a way to select the date range for key date so that more than one hierarchy can be used to display my report accrding to the time range.
Say,i have 4 hierarchies (time dependent) like v1,v2,v3,v4 and v5 for jan 08,feb 08,mar 08,apr 08 & may 08 respectively.
In my report,i want to display the result for the time interval say mar to May.
So my report should diplay the result according to the 3 different hierarchies for the time period i.e.v3,v4&v5.
How do i acheive this.
Thanks.

Hi
I think we may do with the Char with text with replecement path.
take time char as Calmonth and set the offet value as -1 and -2 and design the report and use the hierarchies in that query.
Am not surt it willwork but better to try with this.
