Integrated Planning - Aggregation levels & Filters

Hi Marc,
Could you explain the advantage of using Aggregation levels & filters in the NW2004s Integrated Planning.
Thanks!

Now that I have had a chance to see and touch Integrated Planning I now know that Aggregation levels are similar to the Planning levels in BPS and the Filter like Packages in BPS determines values.

Authorization Error when running queries built on IP Aggregation Levels

Hi,
Did anyone encountered this kind of issue.
We are in NW04s SP 9.
When running a query built on Integrated Planning aggregation levels getting authorization error
" Do not have authorization Component !! ARMMGASL ". (ARMMGASL is the name of Multi Provider)
Queries built directly on Multi Provider "ARMMGASL" works fine.
Security trace doesn't show any failures
Any help or info on this highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Suresh Yalavarthi

Hi Frank,
We have the same issue. What did you do to solve it?
The suggestions you received are already investigated/done, but don't provide a solution.

Planning level to be added in aggregation level

Hi,
Currently my aggregation level has the following elements:
1. Plant
2. Sales Group
3. Cutomer
Now I need to change from Plant to Customer Plant. Following are my queries on the same:
1. Can I add customer plant in addition to plant in the aggregation level?
2. Hence forth I would be doing planning on customer plant level, will that be an issue?
3. Will there be any issue with the historical data already planned at plant level?
Kindly help me with the above issue.
Regards,
Bhushan

Hi Bhushan,
1. You can add freely your additional characteristic and your model will technically keep on working ,of course you will need to adjust the filters and functions to the new aggregation level of data
2. Again you will need to adjust your business logic in all components of the aggregation level (filters ,functions)
3.Historical data is apearing currently under Customer Plant = '#' ,you should consider reposting historical data in order to align current with historical data

COPA Vs BPS (BI Integrated Planning)

Hi.
I would like to know if BPS or BI-Integrated planning replace the COPA module in SAP.
Cheers
Anand

Anand,
The COPA data that is extracted will be stored in the data warehouse layer of BI 7 and which can be accessed by a report in query designer in which the planing will happen.
The dtaa flows is like this:
1Enter and record all the business transactions in R/3 - various modules and components and transfer them to COPA.
2. Build COPA data source in R/3
3. Extact the COPA data to COPA DSO or Cube in Bi 7
4. Make a planning cube in BI 7.
5. Create aggregation levels, filters based on planning cube and actual cube.
6. Create planning functions to do perform planning calculations and apply business logic.
7. Create input ready query in query designer.
8. Launch the query and planning.
Also, since BPS is also present in BI 7 along with IP, you can do the planing in BPS component also, but any future functionalities will be delivered towards IP.

Inconsistent Filter in Integrated Planning - After Transport

Hello All,
After transporting all the relevant objects for IP...Aggregation Level, Filters, Planning Functions etc...from Dev to QA System. In the QA system when i check the fiter for consistency. I am getting an error "Variable 4EMAK1IX593GLMYGHHXIZCV8B not in query".
As such all the objects are transported properly. only issue is in the Filters.
Anybody faced any such error, please help.
Thanks and Regards,
Vikram

Hello,
Issue resolved....i searched for the 4EMAK1IX593GLMYGHHXIZCV8B in the table RSZGLOBV -- BEx Variables.
collected it in a new transport and imported..
Issue resolved.
For your information.
REgards,

Authorization Problem in Integrated Planning

Hello Guys,
When giving authorization to users we are encountering this error message
Errors while executing sequence
Planning function () ended with errors
You are not authorized to read the data
I already Assigned
- Planning: Aggregation Level
- BI Analysis Authorizations in Role
- Business Explorer - Components
- Data Warehousing Workbench - InfoCube
- Lock Settings
- Planning Function
- Planning Sequence
and still gettng that error message do I missed something?
I even assigned * to all of that but still getting the error message

Hello,
Check st01 and su53 for missing objects then assign objects accordingly in the role or in analyse authorisation .
Thanks.
With regards,

Integrated Planning - No ability for restrictions on Aggreg. Level ?

Hi there,
I have noticed in the new Integrated planning that it is only possible to restrict data at the filter level.
In comparison to the old BPS, where you could restrict data at both the Planning Level and Planning package is this not a slight reduction in functionality ?
This will mean that it will be necessary to repeatedly assign variables / static restrictions to many filters which have similar selection criteria rather than maintaining them once at the Aggregation Level
Does anyone know if it is envisaged that selection will be possible on aggregation levels in upcoming support packages?
thanks
Mark

Hi SR,
thanks, so it will be available in BI 7.1 ? (which is SP12 isnt it?) or in a later release ?
Many thanks.

Aggregation level and filters in bi 7.0 reporting

hi friends,
what the use of creating aggregation level and filters in reporting in bps.
if u have any videos for bps, please send me links.
thanking u
suneel.

Aggregation levels and filters are spefic objects used in Integrated Planning; they did ot exist in BPS. Aggregation level is similar to planning level and filter is similar to planning package. Agg levels and filters are the essential objects for planning with Integrated planning.

Transport Filters of Integrated Planning

Dear Experts,
we have created a couple of filters with the planning modeler of integrated planning.
Now we would like to transport these to the P-System but there is no object type 'filters' in the transport connection in opposite to other objects like planning levels...
How could we arrange the transport of these filters ?
Best regards,
Dirk

Collect the aggregation level and chose " data flow before and after"

Integrated Planning vs BPS - Planning Function and filters

Hi,
I'm trying to create a planning function previously defined in a BPS system into a new system with Integrated Planning. Some considerations:
BPS:
- I define first a planning level on a planning area. In this level I set some selection values.
- Then I define a planning package that can contain other further filter values
- Then I create my planning function
- Then I create a parameter group that contain parameter values the function will use.
Integrated Planning:
- I can create a planning level and, separately, I can define more than one group of filters;
- Then, I can create a planning function, where I can set some fixed values in the "field used for condition" tab. These values are common for every user that launch the function.
So, from my point of view, it seems that:
BPS: I have 3 points where I can set filter parameters (level, package and parameter group), and I can launch for example the same function selecting different packages or different parameter groups;
IP: I have only one point where I can set filter parameters (Filter, defined on level)
Is all right? In this case, I don't exactly know how to migrate the same function defined in BPS in the Integrated Planning environment.
Any ideas?
Thanks for the support!
Gianluca

Hello Gianluca,
BPS: I have 3 points where I can set filter parameters (level, package and parameter group), and I can launch for example the same function selecting different packages or different parameter groups;
IP: I have only one point where I can set filter parameters (Filter, defined on level)
In IP you have 2 places, Filter and the function itself. In the function you will get characters for conditions where you can again filter. Migration is simple.
And in BPS? If I define a planning package with a filter (example: Country = Italy) and I select this filter during the launch of the function, do I see records with country = Italy in my reference data?
I guess you are mentioning package as filter. If yes then yes you will only get Italy data in your reference.
The parameter group restrictions in BPS are done in planning function itself in IP. But one difference is in BPS it allowed multiple parameter groups.
And I think even in BPS FOX brought reference data that were subsets of restrictions made in packages and planning level. I dont think in BPS also we were able to read reference data out of the planning level and package.

How data update when there is two planning cubes in one aggregation level

If we have two planning cubes and a multi-cube includes these two planning cubes.
then we have the aggregation level defined based on this multi-cube.
if the characteristics and key figures defined in aggregation level all are included in these two planning cubes. When we plan the data with plan query based on this aggregation level, which plan cube will be updated with plan data, or both of them?

HI Wang,
yes as Bindu said you need to restrict the layout based on the infoprovider.
Lets assume that we have a multi provider M1 and it has two planning cubes cube1 and cube1.
in case u develop a layout for updating cube 1 give the restriction in the filter section as infoprovider = cube1.
or the vice versa.
Else ur layout must input values for both the cubes simultaneously, then in that case create two restricted KF with each having a restriction for cube1 and cube 2.
so wen the user enters value for the first restricted KF it will get saved in cube1 and wen he enters value for the second restricted KF it will gets saved in cube2.
This is how it works. Guess this was useful to u.
Regards.
Shafi.

Aggregation level and planning filter question

Hi,
I have below questions on aggregation levels and planning fitlers.
Scenario: An Aggregation level is built on a multiprovider( Actual Cub1(5 chars, 4 keyfig), Actual Cube2(8 chars, 6 key fig), and Real Time Cube3(8 chars and 3 keyfig)). A FOX copy function has to be built on this aggregation level in which data from cube1 will be copied to cube 3.
1. Does an Aggregation level need to have all chars and keyfigures from cube 1 and cube 3? or it should have structure of Cube 3 only as data will be written to cube 3?
- what are the standard design considerations for defining aggregation level?
2. In planning filter, both cube1 and cube3 are to be restricted or only cube3?
Is it necessary that only target planning cube is to be resricted? In that case how function will get the source data from cube1?
- what are the standard design considerations for defining planning filter?
Please provide some info on this...
any document on design consderations for planning object will be great.
Thanks,
Pundari.

Filters in the aggregation level

Hello
I use IP 7.0.
I set up a filter in the aggregation level (Calendar month between 05.2007 and 07.2007). But this filter is not taken into account when I run the query? Why?

Filters on the aggregation level are automatically available to be used in the query; but not necessary to use. You can set your own filters in the query. If you ned to use the filter set on the aggregation level, then you need to physically darg it and to the query definition side. In a way it is like a structure.

Planning Job Aggregation Level

I am running a Background Job (Univariate Forecast Profile). My Selection Profile excludes 3 single values can I still run the model at this level of aggregation "total" excluding those 3 single values. Running the model at the Total should be more accurate than running the model for 22 single values and summing the forecast. For some reason a forecast is no longer being produced? I do get the warning Characteristic of selection not part of aggregation level. I didn't notice any problems the last couple months.
Thanks, experts!

Thanks Guarav, please see my comment below.
Ok, I believe I have resolved the issue. I am going to summarize my previous process.
1.Created a Master Profile (forecast) for each Strategy I wanted to test. I would use the same Master Profile even if I changed the Parameters in the Univariate Profile.
2.Used the same forecast Activity, changing each time I changed the Strategy. Planning Job would remain the same.
3.By creating a New Activity & New Planning Job my forecast model appears to be running correctly. The only items I continue to select in the Planning Job Aggregation Level are SourceSystem and Product.
It Appears the best methodology is to set up a separate Master Profile/Univariate Profile for each Strategy & set of Parameters. A separate Activity & Planning Job should also be set up for each Strategy & set of Parameters. This would also have to be done in order to add to an overnight (monthly) Process Chain.

Filter and aggregation level in bi 7.0

hi friends,
what is aggregation level and filters option in bi 7.0 reporting when i open reporting that options are there. i observed in filter we are creating some variables.
ple give me clarification
Thanking u
suneel.

aggregation level is for SEM IP - integrated planning and filters are same
