Planning Layout: 7KEA (PCA): What is attribute?
Hi,
Could anyone advise what is the attrribute during the creation of PCA planning layout?
Attribute can be either: Unit, Text Exits, Distribution Key, Action
When I click to insert an element (Shift+F4), I can have options to choose as follows:
Key figures with characteristic
Formula
Attribute
Kindly briefly advise on their features, especially the attribute.
Thanks.
Hi Rajiv,
Thanks for your reply. I can't understand you explanation.
I cannot understand from this website although it has some explanation in length.
http://allian.uclv.net/saphelp/helpdata/EN/e9/f02c7dd435d1118b3f0060b03ca329/frameset.htm
The question is, I tested:
One layout with coloumn distribution key and one without distribution key; but the result of the report is same ...
What are the distribution key or other attrubute values actually for? Any solid examples?
Under teh DK columns, there are some selectable values, like the following:
0 Manual distribution
1 Equal distribution
2 Distribution as before
3 Distribution by percentage
4 Distribute values to following no-value periods
5 Copy values to following no-value periods
7 Distribute according to number of days in period

Hi,
we have to crate a profit center planning layout with users go from top most hierarchy level to the PC level. How can we get all the hierarchy by every level to be available to reach up to profit center level. How can we define the profit center hierachy level.
I am trying to create the same layout in PCA as the report painter but all the characteristics that are in the report painter are not available at planning layout. Is there any option to get all the characterstics into PCA.
Thanks,

Changing attribute order in a planning layout
Hi all,
I have a planning layout with one characteristic in lead column and 4 others attributes to be displayed with. The attributes appear with the following order:
-standard infoobject (sort by technical name).
-all other custom infoobjects /(sort by technical name too).
Is it possible to change this order?
Thanks for help
VincentNo
I dont think that is possible.

Planning Layout: Environment-Specific Attributes
Hello,
In the following link, I find information about attributes in a planning layout:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sem60/helpdata/en/38/021c0d3a5c473392a7147b941541b6/frameset.htm
Does somebody know where I could change these attributes?
Thanks for your help.Hi Anne,
In your case, pl do the following.
In the layout builder go to the last screen, on the right side top, you will see 4 icons. Click the one after "I" icon. Thats for reading documents. Check that box.
But before that, atleast one of the characteristics used in the layout should be made as "document attribute". So go to any of the objects for which you wish to maintain documents. RSA1 - info objects tree, select your info object , sap profit center and go to change mode. In the General tab, you will see a check box " characteristic is document attribute" check that box and activate the info object.
Get out of BPS0 and come back to BPS and go to the layout, you can check that box.
Once done, start enetring values.
WHile entering values in the layout, the tool bar above the data entry area, you will see a few icons, one after "append linns" is to create document.
Let me know if this works for you. I can send you some documents on this, if you wish.
Thanks

Error message when I calling planning layout in the STS
Dear
I'm trying to use Status and Tracking System with BPS ( SEM 4.0 SP10, BW 3.5 SP14 ).
But I got some error messages when I calling planning layout in the STS screen..
I designed 2 lower unit(A,B) and 1 upper unit(C) for the test. and using Bottom-up work-flow.
I did
1. Create Planning Area in the BPS0 ( also Level, Package, Layout ..)
2. Created Web Interface in the Web Interface Builder using the upper BPS Layout .
3. Customizing STS
- Create Sub Plan & Session
- Asssign Hierarchy to Sub Plan
- Determine attribute for created planning session ( Bottom-up, Auto mail )
- Define Header characteristics for planning session to contains the planning package completely.
- Determine Date, Person Responsible and Layout.
4. Send Start mail
5. Open STS Web Start Screen ( using B Unit responsible user .)
When he click "Open Planning" icon in the screen the following error messages were happened...
I've no idea for that because I didn't use any variables or offset settings.
I guess that comes from header settings for the planning session because when I deleted the header settings for the planning sessions, I could see the planning layout.
but I could not use lock processing in the STS.
Could you tell me what's happening to me?
[ Following error message ]
Correct the data on variables and offset in character string "?
Message Number UPC_FW092
Long Text Diagnosis
Character string "", which contains data on the variables and offset, has an invalid format, and cannot be converted.
Procedure
Correct the character string, so that it has the correct format. A correct entry on variable and offset has the following form:
<VARIABLE_NAME> [{ + | - } OFFSET]
Examples:
VAR0
VAR1+1
VAR2 - 2.
Also check whether the variable, that you want to use is available in the planning area.Hello,
this seems to be a bug. The error message should include a variable name between ''. Since there is none, the function that raises the error was not called correctly.
It's not likely that this is related to STS since STS does not use variables at all. It's probably a problem with the layout. If you can't resolve it, please open a message to SAP Support.

Dear All,
I wish to create a new planning layout in BCS. the layout is as below, for a series of Commitment Item i also want subtotal. The summary table used is FMBDT. Could you please share some information/knowledge/document which will help me to meet the requirement.
Funds Center I Commitment Item I Commitment Item Description I Amount I Distribution Key

Abishay SolomonHi,
What you mean series commitment item for subtotal? for planning or reporting.
To create new planning layout, just copy the standard planning layout and add the new column, select the attribute for distribution key.

Display multiple combination of values all at a time in the planning layout
Hi,
we are on BW 3.0B and SEM 3.1B. We've 2 characteristics "COUNTRY" and "CONTINENT" in planning level and package.
in the planning layout, we had placed "CONTINENT" in the lead columns and "COUNTRY" in the header are and COUNTRY is hidden.
Now, when we execute the layout for CONTINENT values "EUROPE and AFRICA" and COUNTRY values "GERMANY and SAFRICA".
output of the layout is as follows for country GERMANY
CONTINENT Value
EUROPE 123
EUROPE 234
EUROPE 456
as COUNTRY is in header, we need to scroll down (use down and upper arrows) to get values for next country SAFRICA combination of CONTINENT "AFRICA" in the layout as follows
CONTINENT value
AFRICA 342
AFRICA 267
AFRICA 768
How do we get the layout to display both AFRICA and EUROPE in the same page without a need to use arrows as follows
CONTINENT Value
EUROPE 123
EUROPE 234
EUROPE 456
AFRICA 342
AFRICA 267
AFRICA 768
the only solution, i can think of is move COUNTRY from header to lead columns. But, we have a need to keep COUNTRY in the header area. I doubt if we can achieve this, but i have some hope as COUNTRY is a hidden field in the header area which we can take advantage of.
any help is greatly appreciated.
thanksHi Marc,
yes. there u go. my name is hari.
thanks for your reply. sorry to confuse you. earlier, I just took a random example. Now, I am giving my problem in a more realistic way.
we have cube data as follows
Code Area Group Price
ABCD EUR 111 20USD
ABCD USA 222 30USD
Code, Area, Group are not attributes of each other.
we have a planning folder with variables for "Code" and "Area" with an input layout that has "Code and Group" in the header and "Area" in the lead columns.
after we execute folder, if we enter values "ABCD" for variable "Code" and variable range "EUR to USA" for "Area", current layout is as follows
======
Header
======
Code : ABCD
Group: 111 (not visible as Group is hidden in the header area of layout)
======
Layout
======
Area Price
EUR 20USD
for next combination, if we use down arrow to scroll down to Group 222, layout is as follows
======
Header
======
Code : ABCD
Group: 222 (not visible as Group is hidden in the header area of layout)
======
Layout
======
Area Price
USA 30USD
we are interested to see all "areas" for Code ABCD irrespective of "Group" as follows.
if we enter "ABCD" for Code and "EUR to USA" for "Area" variables, we need to have layout
======
Header
======
Code : ABCD
======
Layout
======
Area Price
EUR 20USD
USA 30USD
this might also work out for us.
======
Header
======
Code : ABCD
======
Layout
======
Area Price Group
EUR 20USD 111
USA 30USD 222
How do i achive this? we have a need to keep Group in the header area of the layout to get data from other source.
hope it is clear.

Planning in EC-PCA with material number
We have a requirement to enter Revenue plan data in PCA by using Profit Center & Account number & Material number. However, I do not see 'material' as a characteristic that can be added to the plan layout. The only available field is 'Representative Material', which we do not want to use. Does anybody know how to add the characteristic Material to a PCA Plan Layout? Thank you.
We have a similar requirement & found no way to plan utilising the material field MATNR. As you indicated, representative material is offered. We have elected to set up a 1:1 relationship of material to representative material for those materials we intend to plan and set the derivation rules as such. This seems to be the only way to accomplish this in PCA.

New Empty Rows in Planning Layout
Hi All
I am having a bit of a rough time with 2004S and planning layouts. In order to test that I am not doing something stupid (which is fairly likely) I have created a simplified model (IC, Aggr Level etc etc) with which to prototype.
I have an InfoCube with the following structure:
Char: Company ZCH_KCO
Job ZCH_JOB
Plan Item 0SEM_POSIT
Value Type 0VTYPE
Version 0VERSION
KeyF: Amount 0AMOUNT
Time: Fisc Per 0FISCPER
Fisc Var 0FISCVARNT
Unit: Curr Key 0CURRENCY
I have defined my Aggregation Level in the Planning Modeler to include all the InfoObjects in the InfoCube. I have not defined a Filter on this Aggregation Level.
I then created a Query to include all the characteristics in the Rows and the Key Figure in the Column.
Last, but not leats, I popped it into a Web Template where I assigned the Query to an Analysis Web Item and I set the "Number of New Lines" attribute to 10.
When I execute it, I get the following [rather comprehensively documented] error message appearing at the top of the report:
"No new row or column added because not all characteristics have a key cell"
Anyone got any ideas?
Cheers - DHi Daneel,
I have not experienced the error you mention but have managed to get input-ready planning queries to work, so I will offer a couple of suggestions:
1. Make sure that your key figure is marked as being input ready ("can be changed" on the Planning property tab)
2. Values need to be uniquely defined to be input ready. Try putting restrictions on your characteristics to refine the data. Eg. put value type, version etc.. in the filter area and restrict them - put only the Plan item in the rows.
3. Make sure you do not have zero suppression enabled on rows and column structures.
Also, refer to this help section which may be useful:

Planning Layout- Assigning Curr and Unit
Hi All
We created a layout for statistical items everything is fine we selected amount and quantity as key figures.
Please let me know the possibilities of actions we are looking. I dont know whether we can do it or not just for confirmation from this forum.
1)
Basically Planning Layout is coming like this:
Short term loans - 3000 - INR - 0.000 -
Creditors Days - 0.00 - INR - 30.000 - DAY
Is there any chance to assign unit or currency to items in a column like i mentioned below.
Short term loans - 3000 - INR
Creditors Days - 30.000 - DAY
2)
Is there any possibility that: If we enter the data in Amount field, the quantity field must become disable automatically, in the same manner if we enter the data in Quantity field the amount field must become disable.
Not in a columnwise, by rows wise.
Please clarify my doubts. I appreciate your valuable response.
Regards,Hi,
1) For currency include the Currency characteristic in the layout and appropriate Planning objects should get it. For Day could create a custom characteristic with the master data value restricted to "Day" in the Planning level.
2) From what I understand your objective here is to ensure that the amount and quantity are in sync and change in one should not show incorrect figures in the other. Would suggest making the Amount as a Calculated Key figure in the enhanced layout(transaction upx_mntn) so that change in one causes the other to be changed appropriately.
hope it helps -

Planning Layout Transport - Comparison Column
Hi planning experts,
I have planning layout which I transport in my qa-system. Everything is fine and working correct.
When I had a look in my corresponding layout in prod.-system I see that in the tab "data column" in column "Comparison columns" are activated. The activation is done via exit.
Question: what will happen with the layouts if I import them to prod. system. Is the column "Comparison columns" the same or will it overwritten with transport?A coworker figured out by selecting the line break in the change subcomponent it wraps the column text.
