ODP: how to prevent that forecast is entered on certain hiearchy levels

Hi,
within ODP we have setup for example hiearchies for the Product dimension like this:
1) All Products
...2) Business Unit 1
......3) Project X
.........4) Product X1
...2) Business Unit 2
......3) Project Y
.........4) Product Y1
Our ODP users can of course select all those level values in ODP, and enter numbers on each level.
Does anybody know if it is possible to prevent for example that someone enters forecast on Level 1) All Products? I would like to allow data entry for example only on the lowest level 4) Product, as anything else sometimes causes unexpected results.
Thanks,
David.

Have you tried using the planner assignments using view and edit scope features?
Did that not work and why?

  • How to prevent a user from entering characters into a number field

    How do you prevent a user from entering characters like A or B into a field that is defined as a numeric field?
    Please note that
    - we use block validation (for other reasons)
    - we are not able to convert these numeric fields to character fields
    We want to avoid a user being hasseled with the FRM-40209 ... message.
    This message is
    - not very helpfull because it does not inform us what the problem field is
    - not suppressable
    Any hints ?

    I went back to the drawing board on this one.
    You are absolutely right : the message can be catched !
    By writing an on-error trigger you can check for the error number. Sadly enough my first attempt on this used the on-message trigger which never fired hence my desperation.
    Anyway, the on-error trigger in combination with :SYSTEM.CURRENT_ITEM or :SYSTEM.TRIGGER_ITEM enables me to display a more meaningfull message to my users.
    Thanks for the hint.

  • When dragging an iPhoto event to iDVD, the order in which the pictures appear changes without any apparent rhyme or reason.  Any ideas on how to prevent that from happening?

    When importing an iPhoto event into iDVD (iLife '11 versions of both) by dragging it from iPhoto to iDVD, the sequence of the photos is far different in the iDVD project than in the iPhoto event, without any apparent rhyme or reason for the change.  Any way to avoid having to resort all the photos in iDVD?

    Create an album from that Event and sort the photos the way you want.  Then drag that album icon from the Media Browser in iDVD into the slideshow area.  They will import in the order that's in the album.

  • Iphone is in the middle of updating, left with the option of restoring, dont want to lose info previously on it, how to prevent that?

    All I am really concerned about is are my contacts and my music. My contacts are in iCloud...but my music, is gone from what I can tell. My previous laptop had a hard drive crash which contained all my updated music, i was unable to backup that data onto an external hard drive. So i was hoing in due time when i reached an Apple Store, see what they would be able to do for me; their apple, they could save my music I have now, let me update my iPhone and put the music back on. Well silly me hooked up my iPhone to a temp netbook I have and it updated itself. now I'm left with the option of restoration. I want my music, getting contacts is easy. What do I do?

    If you purchased music from the iTunes Store, no worries, you can simply download it again with the one caveat that the music is still available in the Store.
    Everything else is probably gone.
    Due to the prevalence of viruses and other crud that infests Windows computers, there are many questions every day on Apple Support about Windows computers that crashed, leaving iPhones without their backup. Macs are not totally immune from crashes but they are much rarer, and every Mac sold has software that makes the tedium of backing up your data completely forgettable. All you need is an external storage device - an external hard disk or a Time Capsule. The Mac takes care of everything else.
    If you replace your crashed notebook with another Windows box it is just a matter of time before this happens again.
    The iPhone is not a backup device. Extracting its content is not easy and Apple has no magical way of doing so. There are third party tools that claim that ability so search with Google for possible solutions.

  • Demand Planning: How to create a forecast in ODP

    Our client is using Oracle Financials OM etc however it currently uses a separate tool for forecasting. We are planning to start forecasting in Oracle Demand Planning.
    Following is the simplified calculation for forecasting, how can this be done in ODP:
    Calculation is done for item type, 2 calculations are done for every month (X and Y changes every month):
    JAN:
    1. A= X% of Jan sales
    2. B= Y% of last year sales
    The forecast should pick greatest number among A and B (it should not pick A+B).
    Is this possible in ODP, how to setup the forecast and its calculations.
    Thanks in advance.

    You could do this in ODP using the absolute value function and some formula measures.
    I assume you are familiar with formula measures in ODP and hence I will focus only on the math behind the formula measures. I am ignoring the percentage aspect that can be easily achieved using formula measure capabilities.
    The result set that you want is the following:
    if X > Y return X else Y
    Formula measure 1 = FM1 = X + Y
    Formula measure 2 = FM2 = = |X - Y| (absolute value)
    Formula measure 3 = (FM1 + FM2) / 2
    How does this work?
    |X - Y|
    returns Y - X if Y > X
    returns X - Y if X > Y
    if X > Y then the result is
    (X + Y + X - Y)/2 = X
    if X < Y, then the result is
    (X + Y + Y - X)/2 = Y
    This will give you the results you want.
    Note: the formula measures apply at all levels of the hierarchy and is not the aggregation from the lowest levels.
    Please be careful and validate this solution against your total set of requirements.

  • How to prevent running a sequence two times by using "Test UUTs or F5"?

    Hi Matthias,
    If you haven't made any changes to your SequentialModel.seq then before you start make a copy of the SequentialModel.seq found in C:\TestStand\Components\NI\Models\TestStandModels and copy this to C:\TestStand\Components\USER\Models\TestStandModel​s.
    Now launch the SeqEditor.
    If you open the SequentialModel.seq file found in the C:\TestStand\Components\USER\Models\TestStandModel​s folder. With the
    Test UUTs sequence active. Select the Menu Item Edit | Sequence Properties.
    You should have the Test UUTs Properties dialog visible. Select the Model Tab. Enable the Hide Entry Point Execution control. Ok the changes and save the SequentialModel.seq file.
    Now when you run your Sequence you will only beable to run one execution.
    Hope this helps

  • How to PREVENT NFS shares showing on clients?

    Folks: Can someone clue me in as to how it is that our server's NFS shares are showing up automatically on Mac clients (under Network..) -- and how to prevent that from happening?
    For various reasons of idiosyncratic mix of machines, OSes etc, our server has SMB shares set up for Windows and Mac clients which work just fine, plus some NFS shares for linux and particularly for ancient SGI. We don't want Macs interacting with the server via NFS, yet those shares show up consistently on the clients, and confuse the heck out of users.
    How do set the Mac clients to not ever do anything NFS? (On the server I could limit NFS exports' to specific IP addresses, but that's a moving target and likely to cause more grief than help...).
    Thanks,
    Graham

    Jeff: We absolutely do NOT want the Mac users to be using NFS at all for anything. If we get involved in that game then we have to manage assignment of UIDs and GIDs for Mac users, which then impacts on the UIDs and GIDs that they use within their own Mac file systems and things go downhill from there. As it stands, the Mac users apparently have some default UID/GID which happens not to correspond to a UID/GID with privileges beyond RO, hence they can see but can't edit (thank goodness) dirs and files that they think they should be able to. We haven't even investigated whether those default UID/GIDs are even consistent across Macs (which of course is a problem in its own right), or what. Anyhow, it's big hairball that's totally unnecessary and useless.
    It appears to me that some apparatus in the Mac is gratuitously detecting, mounting (or automounting) the NFS shares that can be detected on the network. If I could just turn that off, I think we'd be where we want to be. I guess turning off the entire NFS protocol for Macs might be a separate way to go.
    Must admit, I'm getting closer to doing this "right" -- limiting NFS access in the server exports to specific client IPs.. but that's going to be a mess also.

  • How can we prevent a user from entering a value in Parameter Field?

    how can we prevent a user from entering a value in Parameter Field and Select-options Field?

    make it invisible, make it inactive, make it display only.
    if the field is not there or not to be seen the user WILL have problems inputting data.
    BUT once the field is there you can NOT prevent that the user fills it with data.
    all you can do is on PAI check if the data the user inputted was good or bad, and clear his inputs, but you can NOT prevent him inputting something.

    I entered the incorrect password for my home wifi network, and now I can't change it. How do I clear out the wrong password so that I can enter a correct one?

    Settings > wi-fi  then tap on the little blue arrow next to the network you want to change. You have to tap on the blue arrow and not on the name.
    Now at the top tap on "forget this network".
    After that, the iPhone will think your home network is a new network and will ask you for the password to connect.
