Locking data in BPS layout

Hi Guys,
I have one Planing Layout which different users will access for planning but for different Cost centers. But as of Now when User1 is loggining in it is fetching all Cost Centers and User2 is getting Locked . he is not able to change any plan data .
Now I want that when user1 will logon in BPS Layout ,he/she should fetch up the data for Cost centers for which he/she is authorized . So, other users should not be locked. they should continue to plan for other Cost centers.
your Suggessions will be hIghly Appreciated.
Thanks
Pankaj.

Hi Pankaj,
I suppose you want an input variable for 'User Group' based on which you would write an exit variable for Cost Center. I am a bit out of touch of BPS but as far as I think, you cannot do that because you cannot include a nav. attr. in a planning level. If you can think of some other way other than an input var. for 'User Group' then it might help. One way could be to include 'User Group' as a separate characteristic in the planning level.
In Integrated Planning, this is definitely possible, because in an input ready query, the nav. attr is accessible like any other characteristic on which we are able to apply an input variable.
Maybe somebody else can throw more light on this particular scenario in BPS.

Change Data in BPS Layout: Exit Function

Hello everyone,
We are using BW-BPS and we need to make a sort of a certain characteristic in a Planning Folder. In the specific Planning Folder it was defined an exit function and it was assigned a function module.
We implement the following code:

Hi,
After some changes in the code, it seems that xth_data table is assuming the new content. In debugging, we could see that the assignment was made and xth_data records are now in a different order. But when executing the BPS Layout assigned to this planning function, all the lines (records) still in the same place. The Layout doesnt change.
This is the code:

Does anybody understand this behavior, why the changes in the user-exit are not assumed in the BPS Layout?

Data in BPS layout columns

Hi,
   I have two data columns in my BPS layout called price and margin with one lead column material, the layout looks like this when it initially display:
   Material    Price   margin
      1          1.25
      2
      3
      4
The requirments is if user input date in the margin column and the price should be calculated by the following logic
     second material price = (first price ) + (first margin) and so on.
     if we input margin column 0.50,0.40 0.30 for material 1,2,3,4 respectively, we will get the following price result:
    Material    Price   margin
      1          1.25    0.50
      2          1.75    0.40
      3          2.15    0.30
      4          2.45
I am tried to use the excel formula for achieve this, but as much as I know the excel formula can not been saved when we configure the BPS layout,beside since the number of material display under different data selection criteria is vary, it's diffculty to hard code the formula in the excel.
Anybody have any suggestion how to do it?

Hi JW,
BPS is designed in a way that layouts and planning functions are completely independent of each other (otherwise you would have to build a layout for each function or something like that).
The data in the layout is sorted according to the lead column. So if you use FOREACH in FOX with the same characteristic, the data will be processed in the same order as the lead column.
Alternatively, you can do it with an exit function. All you need to do in an exit is copy XTH_DATA into an internal table and then use the SORT statement with the same sort key as the lead column.
DATA:
    lr_aera     TYPE REF TO cl_sem_planarea_attributes,
    lr_t_data   TYPE REF TO data.
FIELD-SYMBOLS:
    <lt_data>   TYPE STANDARD TABLE.
CALL METHOD cl_sem_planarea_attributes=>get_instance
    EXPORTING
      i_area      = i_area
    RECEIVING
      er_instance = lr_area.
CREATE DATA lr_t_data TYPE (lr_area->typename_t_data).
ASSIGN lr_t_data->*   TO <lt_data>.
<lt_data> = xth_data.
sort <lt_data> by ...
your logic here
xth_data = <lt_data>.

Ugrent help. User exit- Read data from BW BPS layout and write to ODS

Hi,
I am new to BW BPS and have a req. where i need to read data from BPS layout (EXCEL) and write it to ODS.
Is there any function module or user exit which read data from excel layout and upload it to ODS. Or can any one help me out how can i write a code for this.
It is urgent and i need your help.
Appreciate any kind of input.

How to apply Excel formula in BPS layout

Hi ,
   I need to apply the following logic in my BPS layout.
There are three data columns called C,D,E respectivelt
redord 1   user input data for all the columns,
Record 2   C2 = D1 + E2.
Record 3   C3 = D2 + E3.
Record n   Cn = D(n-1) + En.
n is the number of record in teh layout.
1: Can we use Excel formula to achive this?
2: If the anser is yes, how can we configure the BPS layout? I am not sure if we can do it at the last step of change layout.
3: If the answer is no, what is the other choice? I have tried to use user exit, but had some problem in passing the data to xth_data table in the orginal order sequence.
thanks in advance.

Loading data from excel to BPS layout

Hi,
I have BPS layouts in place and also excel sheets which are exact replica of those layouts.
I know 2 options to load excel data into the BPS. These are:
1) Copy and paste the data from excel to BPS layout.
2) Create a flat file in line format from excel and then use method explained in document "How to Load a Flat File into BW-BPS Using SAPGUI.pdf".
Is there any other way I can upload the same?
Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.
thanks in advance.
regards,
Pankaj

Thanks to Vlad, Laurent & Srini for prompt replies.
But here the user needs to load data directly to the transactional cube.
So it is a case of "instead of keying in values" on to the BPS planning layout, user wants to upload the data from excel into the BPS layout.
Planning is done on SAP GUI and not web browser.
I am able to do the same using the document "How to Load a Flat File into BW-BPS Using SAPGUI".
But in this case the data needs to be converted into a simple csv file in line item format before it can be uploaded.
Is there any way, where we can upload from excel file without having it to change to csv format as required in "How to Load a Flat File into BW-BPS Using SAPGUI"?
thanks in advance.

Pankaj

Data columns in BPS layout

Hi,
My current BPS layout has three columns, they are cost,price and margin respectively. The user now ask to add another column call "alert" after the margin column.
The logic is that if the margin is less than 10%, then the alert column should marked with "X", otherwise leave it blank.
In order to add a column after margin column, the added column have to be key figure which will not allowed characteristics,while all the other key figure type such as amount, quantity, date ect will not take
"X".
Any idea or suggestion.

JW,
If Margin is the last column on your layout, what you do is in the last layout definition screen, add the locl excel formula to the column after where the margin would appear. Then you just use simple excel formula to do it.
For things to appear only if there is data in the row, I typically use an IF in the excel formula and check for values in cost, price, margin. Actually it would be 2 nested IFs. One to check for value and the other to determine the 10% and mark it with a X... In purely excel formula, there is no distinction between key figures and characteristics since it is only Excel.
Hope this helps.

Date convertion function in BPS layout

Hi,
   At the user's request, I have created a key figure with date type "date". The purpose of this is to allowed the user can input the date for each of the material displayed at the BPS layout.
   when I use the listcube to display the date key figure, I notice that it is not display as the regular date instead it has benn converted to a number for example 01/12/2005 is dispaly as 731,959. when I delete the date from the layout and save it,now the cube has add a 731,959- record. this is comply with how the infocube deal with ket figure data.
   There should be an function which convert the date 01/10/2005 to 731.595 in the BPS back end, anybody know the function name.
Thanks,

Hi JW,
If you simply want to generate a new date from an existing one, there are several options using only FOX. But again, maybe you want to look at the original intention of the application and your data modelling options before researching into this specific issue.

To Identify changed data in planning layout in BPS

We have a planning layout in BPS which user can change data on individual cell. We also have an EXIT function to distribute data to this layout.
User changes data on cells then executes the EXIT function to distribute data. During debugging, we see the changed entry with delta amount in the XTH_DATA table. However, there are many entries with similar characteristics; hence we cannot identify the particular changed data, i.e., the changed sales amount, in XTH_DATA of EXIT function.
Is there any configuration and/or function to show only the changes data? Any comments/hints are greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Sam

Hi,
When you enter for a particular characteristic and remaining characteristic if you left bank , it will store as # in layout and samething will also in cube. you can check it cube also.
for eg.
profitcenter com.code sales revenue
100 # 10
if you want to avoid this then you have to enter all characteristic values.
Regards,
Siva.

STS not locking data and layout

Hi, we are trying to use STS for approval. We have it configured and it seems to work fine but it does not lock the data when it is "approved". I check the tables UPS_LOCKS and UPS_HASH and the seem in sync, after the approval there is an entry in UPS_LOCKS. I tried a data slice and it locks fine. For the hierarchy, I am using a reference infoobject called ZPLNT_CO in which the actual hieraercy is build on 0COMP_CODE, could this be the problem?, although it did import properly into STS .
Does the authorization objects need to have an activity other than 16?
Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance, Scott

We have not found that STS is very satisfactory for locking submitted data on status change. It depends somewhat on your organisation and how your planners can work in the organisation: for example take a look at previous thread
[STS and locking|https://forums.sdn.sap.com/click.jspa?searchID=9479206&messageID=4221273].
So STS appears to lock data in all units for which a user plans, and other users may not be affected by the lock. So it appears to work best if there is a one-to-one relation between users and units which they plan.
I could be wrong, but that has been my impression.
(We are using SAP GUI entry of data).

CRM fields not populating in BPS layout for opportunity Planning 0crm_order

Hello Support,
We are using SAP CRM 5.0 SP09 with BW 7.0 SP 09.
When creating an opportunity in CRM, the product data ( quantity ,
values) are not appearing in Planning tab( SEM-BPS Layout) .
Kindly let us know what needs to be done to resolve this issue.
Thanks and regards,
Rajiv Jain

In your CRM system, check your mapping from CRM to BW are correct.
You can do this in transaction SPRO. Menu path 'SAP Implementation Guide --> Integration with other mySAP components --> SEM --> Change mapping between CRM fields and InfoObjects'. Select planning application 'OPP' and click on 'Mapping table - system entries' on the left.
In here you should see the mapping from the InfoObject to the CRM field (eg. Infoobject 0CRM_EXPREV uses structure CRM_BW_OPPT_H and field name EXP_REVENUE).
In order for the value to be passed to planning you must tick the 'Empty' checkbox on.

Adrian

How to generate data in BPS via function, not having any reference data?

<b>Hi everybody,
My approach was to use FM 'API_SEMBPS_SETDATA' but the modified values neighter appear in the layout nor were saved to the infocube after launching 'API_SEMBPS_POST'.</b>
<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/2e/260a8563b111d4b2ea0050dadfb23f/content.htm">Application Programming Interface (API)</a>
<b>What do I have to take into consideration?
Is there an other way to generate data in BPS?</b>
Thanks in advance,
Zeljko
Here my findings from debugging it:
In Step 1 FM reads data from planning level/layout correctly:
Line     ROW     COL     VALUE     INPUT
1     0001     0001     11     1
2     0002     0001     0     1
3     0003     0001     11     1
4     0004     0001     11     1
5     0005     0001     11     1
6     0006     0001     0     1
(Input = 1 indicates that Input is allowed in this cell)
In Step 2 FM modifies the values in all lines to 1:
Line     ROW     COL     VALUE     INPUT
1     0001     0001     1     1
2     0002     0001     1     1
3     0003     0001     1     1
4     0004     0001     1     1
5     0005     0001     1     1
6     0006     0001     1     1
Finally the modification is imported to FM 'API_SEMBPS_SETDATA'.

Hi Vlad,
I tried both alternatives:

2. Write data in buffer and then writes from buffer to database
How can I check or see the data in the buffer? I tried the following: After executing the FM I opened the layout but the numbers are still the same.

Variable Range not working in BPS-Layout.

Hi BI Guru's,
I am facing Problem in BPS - Layout.
My requirement is to get YTD Budget Quantity in Single Coulumn. For Example, I need Quantiy for the Period 001.2009 to 12.2009 in single Column as Budget YTD 2009.
For this I defined a variable on the Planning area, with the characteristics "fiscper" and in the selection condition i entered the range 001.2009 to 012.2009, but when i executed the layout it is showing the quantity for the perios 001.2009 only and not for the entire range.
I tried with the User Exit also, where i copied the standard function module "UPF_VARIABLE_USER_EXIT" to 'Z' function and modified to my requirement.
Following is my Code for the Function Module
clear eto_charsel.
data ls_charsel type upc_ys_charsel.
clear ls_charsel.
i_area = 'ZUCOPA'.
I_CHANM = 'FISCPER'.
i_variable = 'ZACTDYTD1'.
ls_charsel-chanm = i_chanm.
ls_charsel-seqno = '1'.
ls_charsel-sign = 'I'.
ls_charsel-opt   = 'BT'.
ls_charsel-low   = '2009001'.
ls_charsel-HIGH   = '2009012'.
insert ls_charsel into table eto_charsel.
But the after using the Function Module in the User Exit area of Variable also, I am getting the Quantity for the Period 001.2009 only and not for the entire range ( 001.2009 to 012.2009 ).
Please suggest some solution ASAP.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
VD.

Hi Marc,
Thanks For your Reply,
I changed the Layout as suggested by you, where i have now 12 columns for Budget Quantity and a Total column( C1C2....C12).
I do not want to show this 12 column and instead want to show only the total column, so I hide this columnn's in the change layout but after saving the layout these columns again appear in the layout.
How do i hide these columns in the layout????
Thanks
VD

Check user manual input in excel BPS layouts

I have some problems for manual input characteristics checks on an excel bps layout.
I need to assign the value of an header characteristic to a detaild characteristic. How can I do ? I have already tried with characteristic rels. (exit, attributes, etc.) but without results.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Mario,
I am quite sure, that if a char is in an P.Level, and there is a char relationship for it, the char relationship will not be called (somebody correct me if am wrong).
So, in your case, you want to derive SALES ORG from Company code using char rel. The sales org is in the p.level, since it is in your layout. Threfore the char rel will be not called.
If you want to have it works, do not select sales org in your level. I assume that you filter your comp code in level with a bps variable. Get this variable value (using API_SEMBPS_VARIABLE_GETDETAIL function) and assign it to char SAles org in your char rel exit. Everytimes when you save your plan data, the char rel exit will be call and sales org will be derived.
If you want to show and derive the sales org in your layout based on selected company code, create a bps variable type exit for it, and read and derive the value from comp code variable.

Suan Liono

Upload a flat file to BPS layout with hierarchy: is it possible?

Hello, BPS people!
I used a known "HowTo...using SAPGUI" to load a flat file to BPS layout. Finally I need to use a predefined layout with several variables and hierarchical representation of characteristic values in the key field ( I can't use a special layout for file uploading!). The procedure works fine if I use a flat structure of characteristic in the key field (no hierarchy). But once I choose a hierarchical representation of key characteristic in the level (but nonhierarchical model in the first screen of layout builder!) the layout data after uploading is absolutely wrong!
1) whether is it possible to perform that without ABAP coding?
2) If not, how can I change the function modules to use hierarchy?
Thank you!
Yurij

Sorry again!
I have solved it.
Probably nobody understood my question. First, I have tried to attach file upload function (see "How To..load a flat file into BW-BPS using SAPGUI") to the same planning level where original planning layout with hierarchical structure in the key field already existed. But now I realized that it's impossible!
SOLUTION: It is necessary to build the file upload function at the separated planning level with the same structure as that in the uploaded file. No hierarchies allowed in the "Selection" tab of planning level !!
Such upload function operates perfectly in the planning folder where original layout with the hierarchical structure of key characteristic is presented. After the file upload you can perform all further activities in the planning folder (including that with uploaded data).
Thanks,
Yurij
