Planning functions IRR, NPV in BI + SEM 6.0

Hi everybody!,
I'm looking for the older financial functions like IRR, NPV calculations. Somebody told me that they are not longuer in BI unless you install SEM 6.0.
We've just install it this morning but the functions doesn't appear when I try to create a planning function of type formula (in financial functions).
does it needs any customizing after SEM 6.0 install? are these funcions in another location?
thanks for your help!

Dear Thomas,
A customer asked for the upgrade of SEM from 3.5 to 6.0. Do you have any documents especially on testing for CPM.

Hi Lars,
It seems not all the planning function from SEM BPS are available in BW BPS. Please check the links below: -

SEM Planning functions (Already checked the BPS Forum)

We installed BW 3.5 which I now see the BW-BPS planning functions.
Then we installed SEM 4.0 and I see another BPS menu item.
Does the BPS0 transaction now contain all the SEM planning functions or just those limited to BW-BPS.
Will reward points as always!

You would be able to see the additional Planning Functions one you are using the Planning Workbench(BPS0).
When using the Planning functionality in this transaction, you would be able to use the additional Planning functions that come as part of SEM.

SEM BPS - Planning function to distribute total value over months

Hello,
We use SEM BPS. In fact we use the integration of SEM BPS in the CRM opportunity component as opportunity planning.
Now we want to distribute the total value of certain key figures over the months. Either equal distribution or increasing distribution like 1% increase every month. What would be the best way to do that with a planning function?
We need to take into account that the number of months depends on the start and end date of the transaction (opportunity).
Best regards,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
I would probably create a fox formula, do a foreach in selection loop over the months and distribute the values within that formula.
If you want to use a standard distribution function, you need to create the reference data somewhere before, which could be a bit difficult if the timeframe changes according to user selections.

Using financial functions like xirr,irr,npv

Hi Guys!,
I would like to make use of financial functions like xirr,irr,npv using oracle/forms/sql , is there any resource available in oracle product family, if no how can i use there functions using oracle products.
Thanks in advance
Uday

I'm unsure which Oracle product might include built-in financial functions -- perhaps one their Business Intelligence products? If your math and Java skills are up to the task, you might consider writing a JavaBean that contains your own implementations of the financial functions you require.

Forecast Planning Function

Hello,
Please can anyone will help provide me the steps for creating the Forecast Planning function for IP. ( Any planning forecasting model is ok).
I would like to create the forecast planning funtion in IP, sould like to know the steps.
Thanks in advance.

There are many documents around SDN about forecasting and the basic ideas are the same as for BPS and for IP. There is just something that I don't understand from your request. Forecasting is not a trial, and it depends by many statistical reason to use a model or another . Before to do my model, we did a deep study involving also some of my past remembering about statistic and regression at university, and we used other econometric software to check if my model was good. Anyway the forecasting function in SEM were not good enough so I had to use FOX.
Maybe u are just running a demo ?

Execute Planning Function while opening layout

Hi all,

BPS planning folder; Scroll to top after execution of planning function

Hi All,
After execution of a planning function, or after saving data in a planning folder, the layout jumps back to the top and displays the first row, even if the user was positioned on another row.
I know BPS does this because it recalculates the data and tries to display it.
However, it is not very user friendly.
Did anyone ever solve this ?
How do you remain positionned on the line you are working on after saving or execution a BPS planning function?
Thanks in advance for your answer,
Points will be rewarded to solutions.
Filip Ledoux


Hi 
There are some APIs which BPS uses internally to save data. You can make a Planning Function of Type EXIT using function moule of your own calling API_SEMBPS_POST (to save data). 
You can call this EXIT Function as a step next to your copy function in your Global Planning Sequence. 
Please refer to Note 422998 - SEM-BPS processing large data volumes if you need further details for implementing this solution.
 
Hope it helps.

Workbook not refresh after running Planning Function (BI-IP)

Hi! Folks,
I have a problem with the Bex Analyser which not refresh the data after running Planning Function.
Step 1: Run Planning Function (There are some changes in records)
Step 2: I have to Run Process Variables again and input the same selection in the pop-up variables
Step 3: The changed records will be shown...
Can I have some coding in the Layouts of Bex Analyzer to refresh the data after running Planning Function?
Brgds,
Supasake

Hi,
I had a similar problem that the resuls of my planning function were not automatically shown. Only if I did "something else" like saving or running another function the results were displayed.
I think I solved it by upgrading my SAP GUI6.4 with patch 14. the results of planning functions should be automatically displayed.

BI IP - Planning Function Type Formula Error "Characteristic not Supported"

Hi all,
I have created a planning function type formula with very simple code. The code was copied from SAP Library and FISCPER was replaced with 0CALDAY. I continue to get an error 'Characteristic 0CALDAY is not supported".
The characteristic 0CALDAY is in the Infoprovider and the aggregation level. I have tried 'To Characteristic Usage' with both changed and in condition.
DATA D1 TYPE D.
DATA D2 TYPE D.
DATA I1 TYPE I.
DATA I2 TYPE I.
DATA CALDAY TYPE 0CALDAY.
FOREACH CALDAY.
CALCULATE 1ST DAY OF ZCALEND
D1 = C2DATE( CALDAY, S ).
CALCULATE LAST DAY OF CALDAY
D2 = C2DATE( CALDAY, E ).
CALCULATE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LAST AND 1ST DAY MINUS TWO DAYS
I2 = 2.
I1 = D2 - D1 - I2.
    MESSAGE I001(UPF) WITH 'DIFFERENCE' I1.
ENDFOR.
Thank you in advance for any help.
Teri

Thank you very much for your reply. What would you suggest? I must use 0CALDAY. As you can tell I am very new to IP, I have tried other options for example:
DATA ZDAYS TYPE I.
DATA ZDT TYPE ZCALSTART.
DATA ZDF TYPE ZCALEND.
ZDT = ZCALSTART.
ZDF = ZCALEND.
ZDAYS = ZDT-ZDF.
{KF,ZDT,ZDF} = ZDAYS.
I received an error "ZCALSTART could not be recognized"
I also tried to call a function. 'FIMA_DAYS_AND_MONTHS_AND_YEARS'.
DATA D1 TYPE D.
DATA D2 TYPE D.
DATA DD TYPE I.
DATA CALS TYPE ZCALSTART.
DATA CALE TYPE ZCALEND.
D1 = CALS.
D2 = CALE.
CALL FUNCTION 'FIMA_DAYS_AND_MONTHS_AND_YEARS'
EXPORTING
    I_DATE_FROM          = D1
I_KEY_DAY_FROM       =
    I_DATE_TO            = D2
I_KEY_DAY_TO         =
I_FLG_SEPARATE       = ' '
IMPORTING
   E_DAYS               = DD.
E_MONTHS             =
E_YEARS              =
I received an error "Types of parameter I_DATE_FROM () and variable D1(D) are inconsistent". From what I could find they should be consistant. Please provide any suggestions. Thank you!

BI-IP: Change of characteristic value in ABAP EXIT planning function

Hi
I have created a planning function of the type EXIT with reference data without blocks. In method IF_RSPLFA_SRVTYPE_IMP_EXEC_REF~EXECUTE I am going to implement my code.
Now, one of the purposes is to update the VALIDTO of an existing record. Is it possible to modify the characteristic values directly in C_TH_DATA (thus allowing me to just update the date directly on the record) or can I only append records?
Cheers!
/Karsten

Hi Larse,
Yes you can change directly your value in a record withou appending a new one,but still it will create 2 records in the delta buffer ready to be save to the cube.
Reagrds,

BI-IP - Bex Analyser - select excel single row and aplly planning function

Hi experts,
In BI-IP (BW 7) with Bex Analyser, is it possible to select a single excel row (or a range of rows) and then apply a planning function? I know that in WAD it's possible with the binding option to select a single web item.
The purpose is to apply a revaluation factor to selected (by the user) cost elements rows in the workbook.
Thanks and regards,
MA

Hi
It is possibel in WAD to select one or many rows while executing Functions such as--Reposting; Revaluation etc.
However, you should be in a position to select the rows based on....unique identifier such as Require ID; Request #; Serial #; ....this is more so in case of multiple entries for the same cost element for different combinations.
