SAP BW-BPS (Business Planning and Simulation)

Hi All,
Can anybody tell me, what will be the impact on SAP BW-BPS (Business Planning and Simulation) after upgradation fron SAP BW 3.5 to SAP BI 7.0.
or what all care need to be taken before upgradation?
Regards,
Prateek

Please allow me this opportunity to point out that "upgradation" and "updation" are not real words. The correct terms are "upgrade" and "update".
Seems trivial, but I've seen them make their way into names of workflow steps and class methods.
Yes, English is not logical!
creation - yes
deletion - yes
updation - no It's update.

Use of "VERSION" in BPS (Business Planning)

Hi Expert,
Can you please explain "VERSION" field in BPS - Business Planing while enterning plan data.
If you can exaplain by example using business perspective it will be great.
Thanks
Ajay Kumar

the characterisitcs are grouped logically using the Dimensions
the use of dimensions allows data to be stored in a combination of dimension tables and fact tables
the dimention table consists of the dimension number, a primary key characteristics you assign to the dimension
the primary keys from various dimension tables link up at the fact table and to the values stored in it
so you can think of a star schema of tables with the dimension acting as the link
so when you look for a particular value the dimension table is first quesried based on which the fact table the primary key is linked to is looked up
in order to improve performance, make sure you dont assign too many characterisitics to one dimension
try to logically group the characterisitics - geography for eg can be made of state, region (not material type)
you can also try to match the dimension with the selections you will be using in the planning book,
dimension tables could grow as your characteristic values increase so SAP advices you keep an eye on it (i am not sure of how functionally you can help this but i believe basis will be able to help you with allocating space on an oversized table)
there is a document somewhere in sap marketplace that i am not able to find a link... hopefully someone will link it up here

RE: Need Information related to Integrated Planning and I views

Hi All,
Goodday,
We are using the Integrated Planning extensively in the Project and also FOx too.
We have came across the requiremnet like we need to add the functions whcih we are creatiung now in to the Portal???
Can Any body advice on this how to do it????
What I know as per my understanding is
Te portal is made up of RÔLES (first level menu tab). Each role can itself be made up of a WORKSET (second level menu tab) and each workset is made up of an IVIEW (link to access the input/calculation screens or analysis statuses).
ROLE
Workset1 workset2
Iview1
Iview2
Ivie3
Can any body could help me ont his what wa sthe Procedure I need to follow???
Regards
RAM

Alright Ram,
The process is first you create a ROLE, then a WORKSET, then a PAGE and within the PAGE you have IVIEWS.
Personally I dont bother with worksets and just create ROLES, PAGES and iVIEWS.
It depends on your requirements.
Cheers,
Nick.

Hello Marc and Sander,
I checked the document status and tested the link myself using a PC external to the SAP environment and did not have any problem. You do have to be logged in to do this. If you are not, you should see a page that will appear which says that a login is required to use that feature. On some occassions, users see an error message instead. I apologize for that.

Category Business Planning

Hi sapies
wt is the meaning and process of Category Business Planning, Markdown Management, In-Store Merchandise and Inventory Management, Store and Customer Analytics.
regards
G.V

Hi,
BPS ;- Here you need to decide if you r really going to use this...If your are not going to use Business planning and simulation then skip this part.
In case of no. of users ....Take information from your client that how many no. of users will be there and then distribute these user as per gide lines given by sap. ( In quick sizer this help is available on market place )
Then decide which modules u r going to take in BW.
( In our case BW implementation is limited to SD, FI and CO. )
After this talk to your functional people and decided how many records will be generated per day for each module and for each functionality.
This is required to decide disk space.
Then list down all the infocubes and ods which are installed count dim. and key fig. for each cube. For ods count key fields and data fields.
Hope this helps....
Regards,
Mahendra

Diff between Planning in BPS and Planning in APO

Hello..
Can any one give me some good insight in to the difference between planning in APO and plannning BW BPS.. In what way is it diff?
thankyou..
kishore karnati

Hi Kishore,
Not sure about APO but some of the distinct features of BPS planning are:
Loose integration with the transactional data flow
Fast and simple adaptation to current and future organizational changes
Free and unrestricted definition of integrated planning scenarios
One homogeneous planning environment for the flexible design of various planning steps
One central data warehouse as basis for all information needed in the decision process
More simulative planning processes
Maybe an APO expert could comment on the other side
Hope it helps...

Hi Rama
Retailing consists of the sale of goods or merchandise, from a fixed location such as a department store or kiosk, in small or individual lots for direct consumption by the purchaser.[1] Retailing may include subordinated services, such as delivery. Purchasers may be individuals or businesses. In commerce, a retailer buys goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers or importers, either directly or through a wholesaler, and then sells smaller quantities to the end-user. Retail establishments are often called shops or stores. Retailers are at the end of the supply chain. Manufacturing marketers see the process of retailing as a necessary part of their overall distribution strategy.
Shops may be on residential streets, shopping streets with few or no houses, or in a shopping center or mall, but are mostly found in the central business district. Shopping streets may be for pedestrians only. Sometimes a shopping street has a partial or full roof to protect customers from precipitation. Retailers often provided boardwalks in front of their stores to protect customers from the mud. Online retailing, also known as e-commerce is the latest form of non-shop retailing (cf. mail order).
Shopping generally refers to the act of buying products. Sometimes this is done to obtain necessities such as food and clothing; sometimes it is done as a recreational activity. Recreational shopping often involves window shopping (just looking, not buying) and browsing and does not always result in a purchase.
Most retailers have employees learn facing, a hyperreal tool used to create the look of a perfectly-stocked store even when it is not.

[edit] Retail pricing
The pricing technique used by most retailers is cost-plus pricing. This involves adding a markup amount (or percentage) to the retailers cost. Another common technique is suggested retail pricing. This simply involves charging the amount suggested by the manufacturer and usually printed on the product bize the manufacturer.
In Western countries, retail prices are often so-called psychological prices or odd prices: a little less than a round number, e.g. $6.95. In Chinese societies, prices are generally either a round number or sometimes a lucky number. This creates price points.
Often prices are fixed and displayed on signs or labels. Alternatively, there can be price discrimination for a variety of reasons, where the retailer charges higher prices to some customers and lower prices to others. For example, a customer may have to pay more if the seller determines that he or she is willing to. The retailer may conclude this due to the customer's wealth, carelessness, lack of knowledge, or eagerness to buy. Another example is the practice of discounting for youths or students. Price discrimination can lead to a bargaining situation often called haggling, in which the parties negotiate about the price. Economists see this as determining how the transaction's total surplus will be divided into consumer and producer surplus. Neither party has a clear advantage, because of the threat of no sale, in which case the surplus vanishes for both.
Retailers who are overstocked, or need to raise cash to renew stocks may resort to "Sales", where prices are "marked down", often by advertised percentages - "50% off" for example."Sales" are often held at fixed times of the year, for example January sales, or end-of-season sales, or Blue Cross Sale
[edit] Retail Industry
Retail Industry has brought in phenomenal changes in the whole process of production, distribution and consumption of Consumer Goods all over the world. In the present world most of the developed economies are using the Retail Industry as their vital growth instrument. At present, among all the industries of U.S.A the Retail Industry holds the second place in terms of Employment Generation. In fact, the strength of the Retail Industry lies in its ability to generate large volume of employment.
Not only U.S but also the other developed countries like U.K, Canada, France, Germany are experiencing tremendous growth in their Retail Sectors. This boom in the Global Retail Industry was in many ways accelerated by the Liberalization of Retail Sector.
Observing this global upward trend of Retail Industry, now the developing countries like India are also planning to tap the enormous potential of the retail sector. Wal-Mart,the world's largest Retailer has been invited to India. Other popular Brands like Pantaloons, Big Bazar, Archies are rapidly increasing their market share in the retail sector. According to a survey, within 5 years, the Indian Retail Industry is expected to generate 10 to 15 million jobs by direct and indirect effects. This huge employment generation can be possible because of the fact that being dependent on the the Retail Sector shares a lot of Forward and Backward Linkages.
Emergence of a strong Retail Sector can contribute immensely to the economic development of any country. With a dominant retail sector, the farmers and other suppliers can sell their produce directly to the major retail companies and can ensure stable profit. On the other hand, to ensure steady supply of goods, the Retail Companies can inject cash into the production system. This whole process can result into a more efficient production and distribution system for the economy as a whole.
[edit] Etymology
Retail comes from the French word retaillier which refers to "cutting off, clip and divide" in terms of tailoring (1365). It first was recorded as a noun with the meaning of a "sale in small quantities" in 1433 (French). Its literal meaning for retail was to "cut off, shred, paring". Like the French, the word retail in both Dutch and German (detailhandel and Einzelhandel respectively) also refer to sale of small quantities or items.[citation needed]
[edit] Retail types
According to Jim there are three major types of retailing. The first is the market, a physical location where buyers and sellers converge. Usually this is done in town squares, sidewalks or designated streets and may involve the construction of temporary structures (market stalls). The second form is shop or store trading. Some shops use counter-service, where goods are out of reach of buyers, and must be obtained from the seller. This type of retail is common for small expensive items (e.g. jewelry) and controlled items like medicine and liquor. Self-service, where goods may be handled and examined prior to purchase, has become more common since the Twentieth Century. A third form of retail is virtual retail, where products are ordered via mail, telephone or online without having been examined physically but instead in a catalog, on television or on a website. Sometimes this kind of retailing replicates existing retail types such as online shops or virtual marketplaces such as futurebazaar.com or Amazon.[2].
Buildings for retail have changed considerably over time. Market halls were constructed in the Middle Ages, which were essentially just covered marketplaces. The first shops in the modern sense used to deal with just one type of article, and usually adjoined the producer (baker, tailor, cobbler). In the nineteenth century, in France, arcades were invented, which were a street of several different shops, roofed over. counters, each dealing with a different kind of article was invented; it was called a department store. One of the novelties of the department store was the introduction of fixed prices, making haggling unnecessary, and browsing more enjoyable. This is commonly considered the birth of consumerism [3]. In cities, these were multi-story buildings which pioneered the escalator.
In the 1920s the first supermarket opened in the United States, heralding in a new era of retail: self-service. Around the same time the first shopping mall was constructed [4] which incorporated elements from both the arcade and the department store. A mall consists of several department stores linked by arcades (many of whose shops are owned by the same firm under different names). The design was perfected by the Austrian architecht Victor Gruen[5]. All the stores rent their space from the mall owner. By mid-century, most of these were being developed as single enclosed, climate-controlled, projects in suburban areas. The mall has had a considerable impact on the retail structure and urban development in the United States. [6]
In addition to the enclosed malls, there are also strip malls which are 'outside' malls (in Britain they are called retail parks. These are often comprised of one or more big box stores or superstores.
Non-traditional exterior of a SuperTarget, JacksonvilleLocal shops can be known as brick and mortar stores in the United States. Many shops are part of a chain: a number of similar shops with the same name selling the same products in different locations. The shops may be owned by one company, or there may be a franchising company that has franchising agreements with the shop owners (see also restaurant chain).
Some shops sell second-hand goods. Often the public can also sell goods to such shops, sometimes called 'pawn' shops. In other cases, especially in the case of a nonprofit shop, the public donates goods to the shop to be sold (see also thrift store). In give-away shops goods can be taken for free.
There are also 'consignment' shops, which is where a person can place an item in a store, and if it sells the person gives the shop owner a percentage of the sale price. The advantage of selling an item this way is that the established shop give the item exposure to more potential buyers.
The term retailer is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of individuals, such as with telephone or electric power.
IS Retail was original develop to meet specific needs of Retail industry where standard SD/MM cannot.
- Significant functionality difference are:
- Store specific features are built into IS Retail where as it is not in
standard SD/MM.
- Mass processing of pricing (some of the retail features were
included as standard SAP as of 4.6)
- Assortment handling is not in standard SAP
There are other differences in inventory costing/valuation etc.
Retail valuation only available in SAP Retail.
What is known in the trade as the "retail inventory method" or the "retail method" involves valuating stocks at retail, often aggregated at merchandise category or departmental level.
Both the cost method and the retail method can be used in SAP Retail.
Actually IS-Retail is a combination of MM and SD plus other funtionalities speacially developed for the retail industry such as:
Promotions
Pricing
Assortments
Clasification
Merchandise category
Seasons
Is important to mention that all the funtionality of MM and SD is avialable in SAP IS-Retail with some diferences in some transactions:
Material master data (article in retail) has some diferences.
Vendor master data.
Site master data.

Business Planning Object

I have a business requirement to provide Business Planning information on Accounts for our Field Sales Reps. I have viewed the R17 webinar on Business Planning for Life Sciences and it looks just like what I need, but I am not in the Life Sciences vertical. Is the Business Planning object available to everyone? If so, how do they get enabled?
Thanks,
Neil

Thanks for your reply. I will contact support.
