Planning Dimension Issue

Hi,
I am new to planning. I have an issue in my design which i am trying to find a solution to.
We have a dimension named Capital Projects which is C12e01, c12e02 for year 2012 and then in the year 2013 they will be c13e01 etc.
Now all these projects are of one nature which can be like C12e01=Small building c12e02= temple building etc. and they have to hit a natural account which is Building. and next year c13e01 will be small building and c13e02 will be temple building. All this relation is one to one...
I am not able to understand that should i create these small builidng, temple in the hierarchy of natural accounts or as attributes or UDA.
User requirement is to budget across and also see c12e01
Thanks

But then i will have to write too many business rules to transfer each and every attribute member value to natural accounts. so all small building and temple etc. have to be directed to one natural account...i.e. buildings.....Users does not know these natural accounts so i cannot expect that from users and on top of that i think we cannot write rules on attributes saying that temple, small attributes goes to buildings natural account

Planning Units issues in Hyperion Planning 11.1.2

Hi, experts.
I'm new in HP, so needed some help with misunderstanding of how PU&proccess management normally works.
More detailed I interested at the area of Validation rules.
I have to give an example of few problems I met during my try to implement this functionality.
Firstly, it's a newest version of EPM 11.1.2 installed and supported by the vendor's professionals
I have Planning app deployed in EPMA with 14 dims. I didn't drop any standard planning dimensions, all are present
There is the only PU hierarchy to test how approvals works. It has 3 entities and 12 elements of additional dimension - functional group. Hence, there are 36 level zero members in PU hierarchy.
Form1 consists of 36 rows according to PUH, columns are Period (17) and one custom dim for the target, plan values, it's diff etc. Validation rule VR1 on Form1 check negative values of target minus plan (I plan expences) VR1 has "No Promote" flag. Then I start 2 level0 planning units (entity1-FuncGroup1 and entity1-FuncGroup2). I try to promote these PU1&PU2. It's Ok only if negative exists I get an data error links drilling down into my form1. So user can see the error and all happy.
Problem actually with form2 that has Region Dim in page. Entity,Functional Group,Account in rows and Plan value,Year,Period in columns. It also has VR2 for testing plan values greater than 1000 with No Promote option. Another VR3 checks values greater than 100 to add new approver, reviewer (no matter) to the approvals process management.
Both VR2 and VR3 don't work accurately. They fired only for the first member in page (Region), hence any data validation for other regions except first skipped. In addition VR3 when triggered for Region1 always circles (between new and previous approver). It meens there is no way to finish this proccess using the promote option. Anyway you can approve PU, but all steps after current Aprover will be skipped in promotional path.
Maybe I can't work with Proccess managment in the right way? So could anybody give me an idea what's wrong. I've spent much time googling any issues like me have
Many thanks in advance,
Vladimir

Hi, Theresia
Yes you're absolutely right, I created VR from the manage form's menu. So I use standard HP 11.1.2 functionality. I've seen it in new features while read Oracle documentation. Also with testing of approvals in Proccess managment I use distinct colours for negatives and diff values (greater 1000 and 100 in my example). Colours work fine, but i can't say it about aprovals :). And all these examples of using planning form VR's i've taken from oracle administrators&user guiide and from presentations of EPM 11.1.2
In addition I've started work with Hyperion products 2-3 month ago. Hence I have to read a lot of information because my previous experience was OLTP, RDBMS not OLAP.
As a first step i wanna know all standard possibilities of product i use. And also best practice and some often used technics. Many thanks for your idea with Smart list and BR i'll try it (though i use EMPA and Calc Manager rules). I know that soon I have to use Java API's, so I might read and learn Java to write the simplest code first. But for me it's too much info i have to load into my brain in such short period :)
As a resume, my opinion it's a bug of new features EPM 11.1.2. But maybe I'm wrong cause none has said the same
Anyway thanks, Theresia, for your help. If you know or will some new additional info i'll say you thanks again
Best regards,
Vladimir

I have an apple id for my ipod touch at home. My company is planning to issuing Ipads. Should I use the same apple id on the ipad for those apps I purchase and would like to purchase and use on my work ipad?

I have an apple id for my ipod touch at home. My company is planning to issuing Ipads. Should I use the same apple id on the ipad for those apps I purchase and would like to use on my work ipad?

Yes, otherwise you will have to pay for those apps again. If an app is purchased by one Apple ID, he/she will be able to redownload it again for no cost (note: this does apply to songs, but NOT to movies).

New planned goods issue date during delivery creation due to changed route

Hello All,
I have defined 2 routes with different values for transit time and transporation lead times. I have configured routes such that in order creation - route A is determined and while delivery creation due to weight group - delivery B is determined.
Now for Route A i have maintained transit time of 3 days and Transportation lead time of 4 days and for Route B it is 1 day each.
Delivery scheduling is active for the order type.
Now when i create the order with a delivery date of say 05/24/2010 then (route A with transit time of 3 days) is determined and the planned goods issue date of 05/21/2010 is in the order.
Now while creating delivery (Route B which has transit time 1 day) is determined due to the weight group. But the planned goods issue date is still the same 05/21/2010 as in order.
I am assuming that since the route B has a route of 1 day so the planned goods issue date should be re-determined to 05/23/2010? IS there no scheduling done during delivery creation even though route and subsequently transit time has changed?
Please let me know the answer to this...
Thanks

Hi ,
You can use TA - MASS . Enter object type - BUS2032(for sales orders) on initial screen and select sales item data.
Next screen enter selection fields like sales order no and items. After giving order no and item range , execute and enter all new values for any item data fields. After pressing button "carry out mass change", don't forget to press save button.

Need to Post Components in Production Order in MB1A through BAPI as Planned Good Issue

Hi ,
I have created a Program to upload data s for MB1A through BDC , it works fine, but for huge data s it takes more time. alternatively created one more Program which updates through BAPI Function Module "BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE".

Invalid column name 'SKEY_VAL' Error when Populating a planning dimension

I'm trying to populate a planning dimension from a view in MSSQL. I thought that I had mapped the all of the required columns in my interface in ODI, but I am getting the following error:
207 : S0001 : com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: Invalid column name 'SKEY_VAL'.
I can see in Operator that ODI is generating the following SQL
select
     LEFT(DIM_ACCOUNT.FLEX_VALUE,80)     as C1_ACCOUNT,
     DIM_ACCOUNT.PARENT_FLEX_VALUE     as C2_PARENT,
     LEFT(DIM_ACCOUNT.DESCRIPTION,80)     as C3_DESCRIPTION,
     LEFT(DIM_ACCOUNT.DESCRIPTION,80)     as C4_ALIAS__DEFAULT,
     SKEY_VAL
from     DOT_STAGE.dbo.DIM_ACCOUNT_T_V as DIM_ACCOUNT
where     (1=1)
But I don't know why it is asking for the SKEY_VAL column or how I can map a value into this column when setting up the interface?
I've read through the user guide and the getting started guide and I can't find any reference to this SKEY_VAL column.
Does anyone know what causes this error and how I can fix it?

1) No SKEY_VAL is not a variable.
2) This is my first attempt at using ODI, I did not create the SQL. All I did was to create a reverse a model against my MSSQL staging database and create and reverse a model against the planning application. Then I created an interface for the Account dimension in planning mapped the account, parent and description columns from my SQL table to the Planning dimension and I get this error. There are no columns called SKEY_VAL in either the source or the target and I have not created any objects with this name in ODI. I can see that ODI is asking for this column when I execute the interface, but I don't know why.

Actual goods issue date required to be equal to planned goods issue date

Hi All,
Can anybody tell me on what basis does the actual goods issue date get determined and what needs to be done if we want to restrict the actuall goods issue date to be equal to the planned goods issue date?
Avinash

Avinash,
Can anybody tell me on what basis does the actual goods issue date get determined
???? It is the date that the goods are actually issued from stock, e.g. whatever the date was when the delivery was actually issued, that is the date that is normally written to this field in the delivery.
what needs to be done if we want to restrict the actual goods issue date to be equal to the planned goods issue date
That's a pretty restrictive criteria. Basically, you are telling the warehouse that they are not able to issue the goods early or late. In companies I have seen, that would constitute a lot of deliveries. Hope your customers don't need the parts....
Anyhow, the restriction would have to be against the goods issue transactions being used by the warehouse. I don't believe there is any standard configuration that creates such a restriction, so it would require custom development. If you pursue this restriction, make sure you leave yourself some kind of override.
In many companies, this problem is handled through policy and procedure. Warehouse manager simply creates a policy about early and late goods issues. The system will track discrepancies in the case the policy is not followed.

Planning Good Issue date and loading date

Hi All,
How I can get the planning Good issue date? I found that the loading date is the same as the planned Good issue date, what's the loading time?
As what I understanding, loading date + loading time = Good issue date, But I am not sure how to calculate the planned Good issue date.
thanks,

Hello Friend,
It is determined in Shipping Point configuration.The path is as follows SPRO--> Enterprise Structure >Definition>Logistics Execution-->Define, copy, delete, check shipping point and go in detail the concerned shipping point.

Help! Hyperion Planning Dimension formula no longer works after name change

Hi,
I am having an issue with Hyperion Planning. I recently changed an account's dimension name from ASales & Property Taxes (D) to AProperty Taxes (D). However, the original name was used in a formula of another account. When I ran my refresh I got the following error:
Error [1200354] detected in member formula for member "AFacilities Costs as a % of Revenue".
So I went into planning and went to the referenced account and looked at the formula. The formula still had the old member name ASales & Property Taxes (D) so I changed the formula to the new name AProperty Taxes (D). However, when I went to validate the formula I got the following error message:
Error compiling formula for [] (line 1): expected type [NUMBER] found [STRING] (["ASales & Property Taxes (D)"]) in function []
However, my formula has the new name not the old name. Here is my formula:
("AMaintenance (D)" + "AMaintenance (SG&A)" + "ANon Cap Equipment & Rentals (D)" + "ANon Cap Equipment & Rentals (SG&A)" + "AOperating Leases (D)" + "AOperating Leases (SG&A)" + "ARent & Occupancy Costs (D)" + "ARent & Occupancy Costs (SG&A)" + "AProperty Taxes (D)" + "AProperty Taxes (SG&A)" + "ASecurity (D)" + "ASecurity (SG&A)" + "AInsurance (D)" + "AInsurance (SG&A)")/ARevenue;
Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Please help, as a result of this issue none of my accounts or clients are getting pulled into the Balance Sheet causing it to not tie with Oracle :( Thanks!!

Hi,
What happens if you try and refresh with updating the formula to reference the correct name?
You won't be able to validate the formula because the member does not yet exist in essbase until the refresh has completed.
If you have problems you could always, remove the formula and store it, refresh so the new member gets created, then put the formula back and refresh again.
Cheers

Planning Access Issue

Hi guys,
Please take a look at the following access issue and let me know if you have come accross it.
Two dimensions
Account
Dept
Account
- Rev1
- Rev2
Dept
-Ops
-Sales
The desired access setup looks like this.
User1
For Rev1 - For Ops - Write ------and----- For Rev1 - For Sales - Read
For Rev2 - For Ops - Read ------and----- For Rev2 - For Sales - Write
I tried but could not set up the access as required.
If I set up User1 with Write for Rev1 then it gets overridden by the Read later.
Any ideas if this access setup can be achieved or if there is workaround this issue? Thanks.

If I'm reading your post correctly, it sounds like you're talking about cross-validation rules. Check out this thread:

Planning - Memory Issue. Help!

We are using planning and recently added approx 100 new members and some new webforms. Suddenly in planning, I cannot delete or move a member. It looks as though its processing but then nothing happens. Our internal IT checks the memory settings and sees a giant spike in CPU usage. We had this problem a year ago and Oracle recommended we update our Java Heap Settings from 1024 to 1536 which at the time resolved our issues. We are running planning on Windows 32bit.
Now we are being told that 1536 is too high and to set it to 1024. Our develompent server has not seen this memory issue so we put their new recommendations in place in development and development no longer works. I put the Heapsize back to 1536 in development and it works. For some reason production does not.
Anyone have any ideas about the Java Heapsize settings or any other recommendations?

Hi Jeannette,
I agree with JG, its time to start moving towards a 64Bit OS. I would urge you to run parallel with a 63bit server, so that when your 32 bit environment starts buckling under the added pressure the newer requirments are putting on your system, you have a fail over at least.
With regard to 1536 being to high, I would +1 that too. The problem is the JVM really likes a chunk of contiguous memory, and Windows likes to eat up a chunk of memory slap dab in the middle of things - making ~1200 about the upper limit for a 32Bit JVM (perhaps by design, and I'm assuming windows because they probably wouldn't tell you to back off the heap size in U/LiNIX)
Another way to look at this is to see if you can break out some of the more complex web forms into simpler ones. Also make sure you don't have any member functions that pretty much return the better part of a dimension(e.g. @iDescendants(Entity)) only to be shrunk back to a useable size using zero supression.

Robb Salzmann

EPMA Planning App Issue

We have a deployed EPMA planning app....in EPMA shared libraray the begbalance of period is deleted...
So when we validate the planning app..its throwing out error abt begbalance...when we add begbalance to period n validate we get following erors:
Error Details
=============
Error : Period dimension 'Period' is missing a Base Time Period member 'BegBalance' that has been deleted since the last deployment. Base Time Period members cannot be deleted once the dimension is deployed.
Error : Period dimension 'Period' is missing a Base Time Period member 'BegBalance' that has been deleted since the last deployment. Base Time Period members cannot be deleted once the dimension is deployed.
Error : Period dimension 'Period' contains a Base Time Period member 'BegBalance' that has been added since the last deployment. Base Time Period members cannot be added once the dimension is deployed.
how to resolve this issue?

Hi,
Period dimension in an EPMA Planning application must have "BegBalance" member - you may choose not to use it by unchecking "Use Beginning Balance" checkbox in the Planning properties of each relevant "Scenario" member - then BegBalance will always be read-only in that scenario and you just don't include it in any data forms.

Planning dimension security lost.

Hi,
Dimensional security in our planning applications are lost after maintenance.
There is no pattern in this,, the loss in security for some dimensions is random.
Do you have any clue what may be the reason for this?
Thanks..

This is not the first time I am seeing this issue,
We had faced this issue in our previous projects also..
Is it a bug?? We are using 11.1.2
