Input Template in EPM 10.0 version

Hi,
i am creating a dynamic template where the Employees and Cost centers are two dimensions. Under employee dimension, cost centers are also properties as shown below:
ID                                           Costcenter
ALLEMP                                 
EMP001                                   2358
EMP002                                   2358
EMP003
EMP004
EMP005
EMP006
EMP007
EMP008
EMP009
EMP010
EMP999
EMPNEW1
EMPNEW2
EMPNEW3
EMPNEW4
EMPNEW5

There are two new functions in BPC 10 that will help:
EPMAxisOverride and EPMContextMember
Assuming you are using the first report on the sheet (default report), use the following:
Build the report, then on the same sheet as the report, enter the following formula (in any cell outside of the report):
=EPMAxisOverride("000",FALSE,"EMPLOYEE","CC='"&EPMContextMember("COSTCENTER")&"'")
Assuming your dimensions are named "EMPLOYEE" and "COSTCENTER".  Also, assumes the cost center property on EMPLOYEE is named "CC".
Let me know if you have any trouble.

  • Dynamic template in EPM 10.0 version

    Hi,
    I am creating a dynamic template where the Employees and Cost centers are two dimensions. Under employee dimension, cost centers have been added as properties as shown below:
    ID                                           Costcenter
    ALLEMP                                 
    EMP001                                   2358
    EMP002                                   2358
    EMP003                                   2358
    EMP004                                   2358
    EMP005                                   2354
    EMP006                                   2354
    EMP007                                   2354
    EMP008                                   2354
    EMP009                                   2358
    EMP010                                   2354
    i have designed the Employees dimension members in row n time in column. While creating the template i can see the only 2354 employees. My requirement is if i change the context member from 2354 to 2358 then only those employees must appear which are shown under their respective properties. i have already checked filter because of which i can see only 2354 members but i want it to be dynamic and also that if i select 2354 then only 2354 members must appear and vice versa. It should not be static.
    Please guide.
    Thank you.

  • EPM Report/Input template & functions not working

    Hello Experts,
    We are working on SAP BPC 10 NW SP 04, and EPM Addin SP 16.
    We have an input template/report where- in rows we have 3 dimensions and 3 in columns. In template we have used EPMDimensionoverride function for row and columns both, also extensively used EPMDimensionPropertyValues for filters of other dimensions.
    We are facing different types of problems with this report:
    Scenario1 – The template does not gets opened. We have “Refresh while opening the sheet” option in use. While opening this template, the refresh doesn’t happen and it says “Process in progress.Please wait”. And the Excel is hanged out totally.
    Scenario 2 – In the filter part where we have used EPMDimensionPropertyValues functions. Sometimes it shows the dropdown list and sometimes not. IF we select any member in the filter, the other dropdown’s become disabled, but after refresh they are working. If the property values exceed 255 limit, we specify a range in the EPMDimensionPropertyValues function. But sometimes this is also not working. If we specify range it doesn’t populate the data also plus the dropdown created is blank. One point noticed was that when the sheet is protected it displays some dropdown lists, but when we unprotect the sheet all the dropdown’s are listed. We are facing quite weird behavior while using this function.
    Research a lot on this, Tried processing all dimensions, took them offline then online, Log out from the sessions and then re- logged in. Run the program UJA_REFRESH_DIM_CACHE, but no luck!
    I copied the same environment into new. and executed the template. There it is working fine! except the EPMDimensionPropertyValues function. Dont know what the exact cause is???

    Priyanka

    Hi Priyanka,
    Based on your description it's not possible to help you... You have some complex template with a lot of formulas. And you have issues. Try to isolate the issue on some simple template and provide the screenshot with the formulas explanation.

  • Adding Description in Upload Template & Input template

    Hi experts,
    In my project i have a situation where the user wants to Upload the Description also , which is not a Master Data type which keep on changing.
    So the issue is How to Upload the description via Flat file Upload.
    Second is the same Description needs to be there in INPUT Template also which the user wants to input based on the situation so this should be a dynamic field rather than a Static Master Data field.
    I tried inserting Comments option , But here i have some doubts like,
    1. Can i get these Comments in reports as a Column against Each Row i.e
      Customer     sales Region    Order 1    Comment 1  1000
      Customer 2  Sales region 2  order 2    comment 2   2000
    2. I know that when u copy this from Version A to B comments are not copied , Is there any Standard way to copy Comments also.
    Your opinions are appreciated.

    Dear Krishna Chaithanya,
    I will try to answer your question:
    1. Can i get these Comments in reports as a Column against Each Row i.e
    Customer sales Region Order 1 Comment 1 1000
    Customer 2 Sales region 2 order 2 comment 2 2000
    ==> You could retrieve comments data in BPC Excel through EVCOMM() function. Those syntax can combine with EVDRE() function. BPC always keep a history of comment. For example: You sent one comment is "ABC" and then update it, BPC keep two data and you will see the last data into BPC Excel.
    2. I know that when u copy this from Version A to B comments are not copied , Is there any Standard way to copy Comments also.
    ==> Maybe you can find copy comment package which SAP provide it as default and you have to add it manually.

  • Journal or Input template

    I am trying to design a corporate adjustments process. I really like the journal functionality as it allows the user to pick any entity and account and post an adjustment as a delta to any data keyed in through the input template.
    However with the journal the time dimension is a fixed header dimension. I need to post adjustment across periods for a selected entity and account. I have looked at the copy journal function but my requirements are for the value to change for each period and for all the periods to be within one journal.
    In other words I want time to be a detail dimension rather than a fixed header dimension.
    Is this possible with a journal or should I create an input template with time across the columns.
    Many thanks
    Simon

    Hello,
    I think is not possible. In MS version  is possible to create multible journals, that are really useful . It let you to select a dimension an the members you want to replicate, but appear debit and credit column for each member.
    For example, you select time, imagine 12 members 2010.JAN to 2010.DEC. BPC in MS version let you, in multiple module, to appear a debit and credit column for each time member (debit/credit 2010.JAN, debit/credit 2010.FEB, etc.)
    However this functionality is not created on SAP BPC NW, only for MS version. I don't know if any new Service Pack in the future gives ths functionality.
    You have to use journal copy functionality.
    Kind regards,
    Gabriel Garcia

  • Comments in Input Template

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement to add Description in an Input Template. We are using BPC NW 7.5 SP04 version.
    How to achieve this?
    We have taught the option of Using COMMENTS but i have a questions like
    1. How to store the comments data to the data base.
    2. How to see the Comments data stored in Tables/ Database.
    3. Can we bring the comments in Reports. We are using WEBI Reports in our Project. can we bring it in WEBI reports.
    I know that there is a Limitation in Storing description as Comments -- As it will not get copied from one version to another.
    So if you find any other solution of maintaining Descriptions other than comments please advice me?
    Hoping for your valuable suggestions.
    Regards,
    Chaithanya T

    Hi,
    Answers for your question,
    1. How to store the comments data to the data base.
    You can check the How to Dcocument on comments in the below link to explore various possibility for storing comments,
    http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/508b62ee-000b-2c10-2d91-a867451ad958?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
    2. How to see the Comments data stored in Tables/ Database.
    The comments are stored in a Data Table and the Technical name of it differs for different applications,
       /1CPMB/appset_prefixappl_prefixCMT
    3. Can we bring the comments in Reports. We are using WEBI Reports in our Project. can we bring it in WEBI reports.
    I hope this should be possible. What I recommend in this is, you can pull data from the comment table in to your BI object and can have Webi Report on this.
    For my knowledge i dont see any other option available for maintaining dimension description from IS other than comments, which ultimately is a work around.
    Hope this helps,
    Regards,

  • Evgts Input Template Retrieving no data and shows #RFR Errors

    Hi Experts,
    Need opinions regarding a weird issue I am facing in BPC 5.1 version.
    Details of the error :
    We have the Entity Hierarchy  in Rows  and Accounts in Col. The Input template refreshes and brings on the existing values for the Topmost (Lowest Level) member selection in the Entity.Similar is true when the Entity member is lowest in the Hierarchy.
    The template shows wierd #RFR error when selection is done for one particular Member in the Entity hierarchy.
    This template is only showing #RFR for this member and refreshes for all other members.
    The Report uses Basic function EVGTS to retrieve the Data and EVSND to send.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards
    Raghav

    Hi Raghav,
    We also faced similar issue.
    The test result tells us it is due to number of columns with EVGTS. It is not due to any particular EVGTS formula in any column.
    You can try out removing EVGTS formulas in the report and add one by one and try out.
    Does anyone know why number of EVGTS formulas with combination of number of columns resulting into #RFR error!
    Thanks,
    Rajesh

  • DMP in Input template

    Hi All,
    I've a requirement to run the DMP from input schedule which should execute on the input values from input template.

  • No Templates In My ENCORE Trial Version on Windows VISTA

    Hi,
    No Templates In My Encore Trial Version running on Windows VISTA. Is there a way I can get the templates online?
    All help is very appreciated!!!!
    Thanks in advance!

    [email protected] wrote:
    I got the Premeire CS4 trial version right off the adobe website. So I start going through Encore tutorials from Adobe and they have the templates but for some reason I don't. These are supposed to fully working 30 day trials.
    The fine print on the trials page indicates that licensing issues will cripple some functions in the trial versions.
    The Encore tutorials no doubt use the fully licensed version of the software.  Be aware that "fully working" does not mean the same thing as "includes additional content".  Templates definitely fall into the additonal content category as they have no effect on the actual workings of the program.  Adobe and other software companies often include extra content like templates as bonuses or goodies for the folks who purchase the software.

  • How do I add extra pages to template documents in the new version of pages which carry over the same formatting, borders etc?

    Hi,
    Does anyone know how how to add extra pages to template documents in the new version of Pages which carry over the same formatting, borders, styles etc? In iWorks09, all styles, borders etc just used to carry over to the next page. In the new Pages, this doesn't seem to happen. Unless I'm missing something.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Extra row in input template in BPS

    hI EXPERTS
    Our business is shared by our company(referred to as 'internal') and some partners(referred to as External). we use web template reporting..so all web reports we have show data on internal and external business.So even in planning reports we have internal planning and external planning.
    we have one strange problem in one planning scenario.Until June this year,we had same Target value for both internal and external..so our user used to input one figure in one Input template which inturn will be showed as Target value in both Internal reports and External reports....we are using static webtemplate based reports...
    for e.g Sales Target  -
    10 million (in input template)
    but from July,its different target value for internal and external....so my user is giving first Internal figure in Sales Target column in Input template and generating static report for Internal users and then going back to Input template and giving 'external' figure in same Sales Target row in input template and generating static reports for External....so he is doing it two times every month....
    he wants to avoid this....he suggested something like have one row for 'Internal Sales Target' and one row for 'External Sales Target' in input template....so he can input different figures in one go and generate reports in one go....
    How can I achieve this?I am new to BPS....where do I need to do changes and what care I need to take while doing this...
    Thanks alot for your advice..........
    Rgds.

    Hello polintram,
    there are many, many options to solve the issue and it will depend on your data model, the konfiguration of your reports, and so on..
    if i understand your example, in your cutrent planning application it´s not possible to save the values permanent. you loose the internal  value by overwriting with the external value, because you use the same keyfigure-datamodel!? mhhh... the diffrent values are only stored in the generated reports!?
    possible solutions:
    1. two diffrent keyfigures - one for internal, one for external - there you will have one row and two columns
    2. diffrent character-combinations/ one keyfigure - that means you split your characterdefinition (for example with an infoobject which discrebed the "internal" "external" status)
    i think it shouldn´t be a big problem, but it depends on your datamodel and planning layout...

  • Numbers Question - How to create an input template to summary spreadsheet

    I've done this type of sheet in excel and access years ago, but have no clue on how to do it in numbers. Example, I have a spreadsheet that summarizes specific actions for specific individuals in a specific event over the course of many events. What I want to do is create an input template that populates the summary spreadsheet so I can update on the fly such as from my iPad while at the event. I'll use a soccer game as an example. My summary spreadsheet captures goals, shots and assists for each player for each game and sums it up for a season. For capturing multiple stats at a game (event), select the (action) from a radius button or drop down from a pre-defined cell content (e.g. goal or assist), Then pick the player who performed the action from a pre-defined cell content drop down. Hit an execute button and the data populates the spreadsheet behind it, or something similar to this. Does anyone have any ideas on how this front end input template could be executed in Numbers? I currently manually track this manually and its a pain, would love to drop this into the iPad and do it on the fly. Maybe numbers is'nt the right tool? Thanks

    Might try that one on the Numbers Forum here

    DY,
    Numbers, in and of itself, won't give you the functionality you're talking about. To be fair, the context you referenced is a spreadsheet, plus a database, plus a programming framework that integrates the two.
    You could look at AppleScript or Xcode to provide you the environment in which to create the data entry / data manipulation pieces. Even so, though, you still wouldn't have the database management system (which I'm assuming you use in this example, even though you've just mentioned the data entry and data transport parts).
    It's not so much that Numbers "isn't the right tool" -- it's that the environment you're remembering wasn't just a spreadsheet, it was a couple of applications and a macro'ing / programming environment, whereas Numbers is just the spreadsheet part of that environment in an OS X context...

  • Insert member in Input Template

    Hi Bpc Gurus,
    I have one problem in My project.
    I have to create an Input Template in which i need to have Dimensions selected. When i use EVDRE : Insert Member it is showing only 7 Members and OK is not working and thus I am not able to select any New member via Right Click Insert Member Option.
    Is there any Limitation on NUMBER of DIMENSIONS selection in an Input Template.
    Is there any Solution for this or any workaround.
    Your taughts will be appreciated.

    This not Select member . This is RIGHT CLICK -->EVDRE: INSERT MEMBER Option.
    The OK Button is not Disabled , But in that screen i am able to Select only 7 Dimensions and their Respective Members , balance 2 it is not showing at all.
    That is why i am asking that is 7 Dimensions only can be selected Via INSERT MEMBER OPTION.

  • Protect input template exclude the input columns

    Hi All,
      I am having some hidden formulas and the Evdre in the template, i dont want to allow the user to change that one.
      I want to protect the input template, i have tried in excel (Tools->Protection) using password to protect the template.
      After its protected even its not allowing to input the values in input columns.I have tried the hide option.If the expand the template , hidden rows are unhidden by default.
    Any idea please share.thanks in advance.
    regards
    venkii

    Hi Venkii,
    You need to make sure that the cells, which requires input, should not be locked. For this right click on the cells, go to format and go to the protection tab. Make these cells unlocked. Only the input required cells will be unlocked and the others will be locked. Once this is done, you can go ahead and lock the sheet.
    Hope this helps.
