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.

Hi Nilanjan,
Actually it is like i am adding 9 Dimensions members via INSERT MEMBER option.
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.

Input Template: Deriving a member

Hi All,
I have the following situation -
I have a Dimension "Account" which has a property Division
I have another Dimension "Division"
The property "Division" of Dimension Account is the same as the Dimension Division.
In my Input template I have the accounts in rows. Is it possible that I can populate the Division associated with the Account when the user saves the data. So. basically the user selects the accounts in the input template
While saving the input template derives the Division from the Property and stores the data with the correct Division.
thanks

Hi Sumangal,
I consider I knew what you want because I was confronted with the similar situation before. I've made an example to show how to do. You can try the following steps to achieve what you want:
1. Build an EVDRE input schedule where P_Acct dimension is expanded in rows and Time dimension in columns. Column E shows the P_Acct ID. In the following example, Members of Time Dimension are in range G10 to I10.
2. Place the formula "=EVRNG(G1:I1)" in the CellKeyRange
3. Place the formula "=EVPRO($H$2,$E1,"Division")"in the Cell G1, you can then drag the cell G1 to copy its formula from Cell H1 to I1.
4. Press "Expand" button.
An expanded copy of the CellKeyRange to the right of the report Data Range has been automatically created. e.g. Cell E12 shows the P_Acct member ID "A1", Cells J12 to L12 contain the expanded formula "=EVPRO($H$2,$E12,"Division")" respectively. The result is "D1"shown in Cells J12 to L12. ( "D1" is the value of the property "Division" of the P_Acct "A1". "D1" is also a member in Divison dimension. ) Similarly, Cell E13 shows the P_Acct member ID "A2", Cells J13 to L13 contain the expanded formula "=EVPRO($H$2,$E13,"Division")" respectively. Tthe result is "D2" shown in Cells J13 to L13,and so on.
5. Input the data in the Data Range and then submit them.
As the CellKeyRange has the highest priority, the values of the DataRange will be sent to the members showed in the right of the report Data Range instead of the ones in CV etc.
This method can be used to build various kinds of input schedule or report such as matching report etc.
Hope this helps.

How to Block Account member in input reporting for some users?

Hi experts, i need to know if is possible to block input of values for some Users in the Account Dimension so that some users can input value in the report but other user cant do it.
I try to do this from "member access profile" but this option only allow you to define access right for one specifict parent o member.
I mean, is posible to asigned to Account Dimension a Propertie type "OWNER" like ENTITY?
For example: one user must to input value for the Account member "CASH", but other user dont, however i have to show the same input reporting for both users.
I hope understand the question, im sorry about my english
thank you in advance
Ignacio Vazquez

I would think you could do one of the following:
Either set account as a secured dimension. You would then define security profiles for all account groups and assign those to your users / teams as appropriate. Would take a while to setup initially, but if your users don't change that much it shouldn't be too difficult to manage once it's done.
Setup different input templates that only showed the accounts you wanted each group of users to see. Put the templates in different site folders and assign access to those sites as required. users would then only have access to open the template applicable to them. Would require that you basically make duplicate copies or your current template, modify and save to different site folders which could become a pain if the template requires changes (since you would now have to make the same change multiple times).
Setup a macro in the current template so that you need to enter a password to unlock the send commands for the respective accounts. I don't know if it can be setup to support multiple passwords - assuming it can, password 1 would unlock all accounts, password 2 would only unlock CASH accounts, password 3 would only unlock LIABILITY accounts, etc. You then distribute the passwords to the users as appropriate.
Hope that helps.

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.
Kind Regards,
Wandi Sutandi

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

EPMSaveComment after EPM Insert Member does not work?

Hello,
I have situation in report where I use EPM Insert Member and also EPMSaveComment.
After new members are inserted, existing comments are blanked and Save data after that update exsisting comments with blank values
Detail steps:
Open Excel and log on to BPC-NW Environment / model
Create a report selecting a dimension ACCOUNT on the row axis and TIME dimension on the column axis.
Choose Remove Empty and Zero Values for Rows
Add two local Members on the both following columns as follows:
column x: add local Member 1 and leave formula blank
column y: add Local Member 2 and enter an 'EPMSAVECOMMENT' formula which references the column in 'LocalMember1'
Insert Member and enter some values and also comment.
Save and Refresh data.
Insert Member
The comment will disappear from the LocalMember1 (column x).
Questions:
Is it possible to have Insert Member and EPMSave Comment in same Report?
Fact (documentation EPM Add-in 32.28): EPMSaveComment function is executed (only) when you Refresh the worksheet.
But Insert Member function does not Refresh the report in such way that comments with EPMSaveComment function are displayed? They are blanked instead.
If report is refreshed before Save Data then inserted members are deleted because they dont have values
If data is entered for inserted members than with Save Data also previous comments are changed (with blank), because they are different in input screen that those saved before?
If columns for comments are only added in Excel, so that they do not belong to Report, then comments do not dissapear from "blank" column….
… and function EPMSaveComment in second column still save comments
But in that case after Insert Member function outside Report is not available automatically in inserted row
Also if EPMCopyRange is used instead of LocalMembers the situation - dissapearing existing comments when inserting member - is the same
There is similiar situation with Expand and Insert Member functionality explained in Note 1936111 where SAP states that Refresh is needed?
Best regards,
Nevenka Ribnikar

Hello,
thanks for you suggestion, I will also wait for answer from SAP.
I will post details again:
LOCAL MEMBERs in REPORT:
EPMSaveComment(EPMMEMBER(000), , EPMDIM_CURRENT_MEMBER(ACCOUNT), )
After EPM Insert Member
Comments in column »enter« dissapear
In documentation EPM Add-in 32.28 is written: EPMSaveComment function is executed (only) when you Refresh the worksheet
For new inserted member values and comment can be added, but also other comments will be changed to blank values…
If only values are changed and Save Data without Refresh,
then comments are still in column »enter«
If I use columns out of the report than as mentioned, if new members are inserted at the end there is no formula for comment...
Thank you for your answers, I was worried that there is some simple solution...
Does anybody has some real project experience with SaveComments and InsertMembers in same reports?
Best regards,
Nevenka

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

Exception when executing a report: Field I_REPORT_ID not a member of INPUT

Hello,
I created a simple Report with the Report Designer. When I try to execute it in the portal hitting the "Execute"-button i get the following BI Runtime Exception:

Hi Karol,
thanks for your answer.
I also had this SP synchronization issue regarding other problems with the execution of web templates. See my post <a href="https://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=209587">https://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=209587</a>.

Validation for allocation in Input Template

Hello Experts,
We have an Input template. The planner gets an employee with Customer None. He allocates the time of the employee to different customer/Profit Center/Segment as shown in below table.
EMPLOYEE
Customer
PROFIT_CENTER
SEGMENT
2014.01
Jone
Cust_NONE
10
A
1
Jone
A
10
A
0.5
Jone
B
Y
B
0.5
CHECK
0
After every employee i want to have a check row where it should be <=1. if its 0 it indicates that the employee is fully allocated. Where as if it is 0.5 it indicates that only 0.5% time he is allocated.
How can I achieve this Validation row after every employee.

Hi Mahesh,
Use a Local Member as per the attached example. If Sheet Options are set to Activate Local Member Recognition and Use Position in Axis is not checked, entering an Excel Sum formula for all entities for one account creates the Local Member automatically.

Alternatives for "Insert: Member..."

Dear Experts,
We have used the Insert Member Option in EVDRE and works fine. It is possible to display code and description.
This oprtion works fine for some dimensions.
Currently, we had the requirement to insert a member in a input schedule but the dimension the user must select contains many members so it is not operative friendly (even possible) for the user to select it from the combo BOX as there is no options to filter o look for in this control.
Has anybody tried another similar solutions to achieved a similar function to insert member function?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Ievgen Chadiuk,
I would prefer to avoid building a macro in VBA.
I have rencently checked the SP4 for SAP BPC NW 7.5 and there are 3 notes related to Insert member...
Currently, IT tema is iimplementing it. I will wait to see the improvements of this function.
I hope it had been improved.
Thanks again.

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???
Regards,
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.

Insert Image in RTF Template Conditionally

Can an image be inserted into an RTF Template using an If-Then statement? Like this:
<?if:FIELD1='IMAGE1' 'insert IMAGE1' else 'insert IMAGE2'?>
If this is possible what syntax needs to be where the example says 'insert IMAGE1'? The images are jpg files that exist on a local PC but the template will run on a Unix machine.
Is there a way to do this? Thank you very much.
James

you can try like this
<?template:image?>
<?if:FIELD1='IMAGE1'?>
IMAGE1
<?end if?>
<?if:FIELD1!='IMAGE1'?>
IMAGE2
<?end if?>
<?end template?>
use this tag where u need image <?call:image?>
for image location or dynamic images check these links

Can I insert comments into RTF Templates?

I'm using Oracle XML Publisher Template Builder for Word, Version 5.6 Build 45.
The RTF template I'm working on has grown to be quite complex, and I would like to include some documentation on the template, so that other people who might pick up the work after me know what was happening.
Is there any way to insert comments into the template, in the same way as is possible for e.g. in SQL? I tried to insert a Word Comment, but that generates errors.
I suppose the alternative is to document logic decisions etc. in a separate document.
Thanks

Hi,
You can use the following xsl tag
<xsl:comment>This is a comment!</xsl:comment>

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...
