Planning layout data column issue in BPS

hi there
I am  trying to change the layout but it does not allow me to save my changes.
It complains about
"Enter a value for characteristic XXX Year for Plan (column 3)
Message no. UPP_LB022"
But there is no value to be entered here.
Please advise how can this error msg be avoided and I can save my new changes to the layout
kind regards,
Sarah

Hi Deepti
It is in Data columns.
Its working in production enviroment without any values being there for some key figures but it is complaining only when we try to make the changes in the layout and try to save.
regards
Sarah

  • BPS Planning Layout - Data Column issues

    My basic question is:  is it possible to configure a characteristic in the data column such that it contains a range of values, instead of just a single value.  We have requirements to produce a series of comparison columns for things such as "Year-to-Date" (sum of a range of fiscal periods), "Prior 12 Months" (again, sum of a range of periods), and so forth.  Unfortunately, the BPS layout configuration of data columns only allows you to specify a single characteristic value.  If you configure it with a variable that contains the range, the system only uses the LOW value of the range, not the full range.  The ability to provide such comparison columns is critical to our users' ability to see prior information and make a determination of new plan values for the plan year.
    Any thoughts or suggestions on how I should approach this, or alternative approaches to take?

    John,
    This has been an issue with BPS since you can only display data columns of the granularity you specify rather than a range such as YTD similar to what you can do in BW restricted key figures. 
    The work around is to create and store the numbers in 
    1) YTD key figure in say fiscal year current year fiscal period current period and/or
    2) Prior 12 months Key figure and store the number against fiscal year current year fiscal period # or first period period of the year...
    Hope this helps and assign points if you found it useful.

  • Freezing Planning Layout Lead Column (Web)

    Good Afternoon
    We are currently developing planning layouts using the web view rather than the Excel view.
    My question:  Has anyone implemented the freezing of the lead column in the web view (similar to the Excel view functionality)?
    Thanks in advance.
    Andrew

    Hello Andrew,
    have you tried using 2 layouts, one displaying only the lead column (no or hidden data column) and one displaying data columns (lead column hidden or minimized - only '.' displayed -).
    I haven't tried it yet and it may not lock very nice, but you could hide columns, you do not want to see, with an separate <div> - layer or put the layouts in 2 iframes...
    It was only a thought, that came up to me.
    One problem would be, if the number of rows exceeds the screensize and the user wants to scroll down...
    I hope I could help you to some ideas.
    Regards

  • XML Publisher - Dynamic Data Columns Issue

    Hi,
    I am creating a amortization report where I need to show the amortization schedule for unearned revenue. Customers have signed different years of contract and I need to show the amount as per their remaining contract months. So if there are 2 month remaining in the contract then I should show the data for 2 months only and if there are 10 months then I should display 10 months. If we run the report for both customers then it should display two lines in report. For first customer the data should be only for 2 months and for second row(customer) there should be data for next 10 months. These months should be columns in the report(like excel columns, not rows). I need to display all months in columns instead of rows.
    I have acheived that using Dynamic Data Columns as mentioned in the user guide. Everything is working fine except following issues -
    1. How to create page level total?_
    I have created page total in my template using <?add-page-total:TOTUREV;'UREV'?> and displaying using <?show-page-total:TOTUREV?> but when I run the report in excel format these page total do not display. These columns are static columns not dynamic.
    If I run the report in pdf format then the static column total is displayed correctly.
    2. When I run the report in excel format then report run fine and it shows all the columns properly but if I run the report in pdf format then the dynamic column are not displayed in their own columns, all the columns are overwriting each other in a single columns itself, its not expanding.
    3. How do I get the total for the dynamic columns?_
    I need to display the page level total for the dynamic columns also, how do I do that?
    4. When I run the report in excel format the 2 decimal places of the numbers are gone(it works fine in pdf output), like 12.50 becomes 12.5 and 14.00 becomes 14. I need to maintain those 2 decimal places. I have tried using <fo:bidi-override direction="ltr" unicode-bidi="bidi-override"><?format-number:CVALUE;'999999D99'?></fo:bidi-override> but this does not solve my problem completely. It shows the values correctly in excel but then I am not able to do any calculation on those columns, looks like it converts them to text values.
    Any help is really appreicated. Please let me know if you need the xml template and data file.
    Regards
    Hitesh

    Hi Hitesh,
    Can you please upload your RTF and XML template file? I will try to spend sometime on this issue.

  • Digital Magazine layout & data merge issues

    If anyone can help or offer some advice on the following I would be extremely grateful.  My main problem is applying a data merge to either an existing layout I have created or creating a layout from scratch but having varying box sizes containing merged data and specific numbers of records on particular pages.
    The brief is:
    Create a 28 page digital magazine.
    The magazine will be published either weekly or fortnightly and contain around 500 'listings'.  Each listing has an image, and 4 pieces of variable text.
    My initial plan was to manually enter the listings information - this will take far too long each week.  I am hoping to keep the same layout each week but just change the data on the listings pages by creating a new .csv file each week and applying it using the data merge feature.
    22 of the pages contain 'listings'.  The remaining pages are editorial.
    I'm relatively new to data merge in InDesign.  My knowledge of it's feature is limited to being able to create multiple records but they are all the same size and I don't see any options where I can designate how many records I would like to appear on a particular page and to then keep that layout so I can come back to it each week with a new .csv file and literally just drop it in and i'm done.
    I need the layout of the 'listings' pages to vary so that in some cases there are 30 listings (records) on one page and on other pages there are 23, some are to have 35 etc.  Also on the pages where there are 23 listings - the first 3 listings are to take significantly larger amoutns of space on the page (as featured listings of the week).
    If anyone has used data merge in this way before and can help please let me know.  I have produced a complete layout of the magazine but i'm guessing i'll have to scrap this and start again if I'm going to start using data merge.
    thanks in advance!
    Mark

    like i said, the XML learning curve is steep as indesign's ability to handle XML on its own is pretty user unfriendly, but ID does get the job done.
    depending on how dirty you want to get your hands, there is an additional book in conjunction to the title i'd mentioned earlier, and it is called "InDesign CS5 Automation Using XML & Javascript" by Grant Gamble which you may want to read. however this is a LOT to digest and certainly not for anyone unfamiliar with programming in javascript.
    is the data for the publication exclusively coming from excel or is it coming from Management Information Software (MIS) which can export XML information? excel on a PC can generate XML but it is useless as a jelly pickaxe as there is a lot of extraneous information saved with the exported XML file.
    there are several people on this forum with a wider experience on this topic than me, and hopefully they are reading this and can carry on with more detailed explanations.
    i'm used to using online converters to take csv files to convert them to XML but the only real advantage of using XML generated this way is to create variable data which flows on in the same text box. This is opposed to ID's data merge which would not flow on the information but instead start the next record in a brand new text box, meaning if an entry has to move from the start to the end, it means making the merge again, whereas if an XML file was used i could simply open up the structure pane and move the record from record 1 to the last record.
    AFAIK apart from indesign and the MIS used to generate the data, i believe that a piece of software called oxygen XML would help in editing the XML once it is generated, but i do not use oxygen XML myself, but perhaps other readers do and can assist you.
    FYI, the project you are talking about is remarkably similar to one which i deal with at work... but we only ever receive the finished art as a PDF, but it appears that the construction method was the same as your idea - that is, take database file, parse it through indesign using different templates and then output it to a media, in my case a printed magazine. unfortunately i can't tell you exactly how they made it as it is proprietary to the client.

  • Hyperion Planning Loading Data refreshment issue

    Hi All,
    I have use load data utility and it will load meta data in to planning application and for effect the same in Essbase
    need to refresh the application using manage data base i don't want to refresh the data base
    want i exactly i want to do is once my meta data or data change in staging area i run the load data utility
    and it will affect on Planning as well as Essbase at the same time.
    please suggest can it posible without refreshing or any other way to do this..
    i don't want to refresh manually it would be a problem it should be automated.
    Thanks
    Pramod

    Hi There,
    I fear that the utility(we're talking about) supports only- flat files.
    If I'm correct, you may've to extract the data from staging area & master tables in a format conducive to the Planning app. dimensions & then invoke your batch file that calls OutlineLoad utility. Obivously, OutlineLoad utility will look for the latest extracted files before each run.
    If you've ODI, you can build a simple interface & then a package to automate this for you. This avoids dealing with extraction layer in your architecture.

  • Issue in BPS Variables....Please anybody reply...this is really urgent(SOS)

    <b>Hi dear friends, This is really a urgent problem and crucial Please anybody can share their ideas or atleast some inputs/ clues to clear the cobwebs in my understanding.</b>
    I am facing problem in BPS Variables.
    I created the variables 1.zqbs- employee responsible --->Userentry/default value.
    2. zconpar-- contact partner----
    > Replacement type is user exit(Function Module)
    3. zconpar-- contact partner----
    > Replacement type is user exit(Function Module)
    ZCONPAR: I am using the zqbs, planing area, characterstic name as a import parameters and i am exporting the output value to 0BP_ACTIVIT through zconpar
    ZCONPER: I am using the zqbs, planing area, characterstic name as a import parameters and i am exporting the output value to 0BP_CONTPER through the zconper.
    These two variable info objects are calling in the planning layout lead column.
    based on contact partner it should display contact persons for the contact persons we are applying the conditions(bp_reltype = bur001,bp_reldir = 2) to filter the contact persons.
    In my case i am getting 3 values for the contact partner like 1000, 2000, 3000.
    i am getting 2 values for the contact persons if i run the variables individual.
    note: if i run BPS0 its going into loop and displaying multiple data means for 1 contact partner its applying all contact persons. at final it showing records like contact persons X contact partners means it showing more unvalid records.
    how to avoid this situation.
    contact partner contact person bp_reltype bp_reldir
    1000 xxxx bur001 2
    2000 yyy bur002 2
    3000 zzz bur001 2
    it should display like this
    1000 xxx
    2000

    Even your smallest hint is greatly appreciated.
    Yours truly,
    your friend Bharath.

    Thanks for the reply and I would trying these consistency check out again as a background job but I have already done these checks and have not been able to find any inconsistencies in the planning area or the master planning object structure. the problem is this as I have put in the SAP message:
    "We have generated CVCs from a text file using the load work list functionality  Due to some internal formatting issues few erroneous CVC were generated. On going through the concerned notes we have come to the conclusion that we would have to delete the erroneous CVC and recreate new CVC.
    The issue that we are facing is that we are not being able to delete the erroneous CVC from the MPOS as they are not visible in the display mode. On other hand we do see the erroneous CVC in the planning book, which is not at all understandable because if there are no CVC then why are we seeing them in the planning book."
    Please let me know if this is a problem that has been faced by anybody in SCM 5.0
    Thanks

  • Data column in Manual planning Layout

    Hi,
    I have a KF in data column and year as a dynamic in the data column. Year is restricted to 2006 and 2007 in the planning level. When layout is executed is displays 2 columns 2006 and 2007 other then lead cols which as expected. Now at this stage I can enter data for both 2006 and 2007. What I want is that when layout is executed the col for 2006 should be display only and the user should be able to enter data only for the col 2007. How can this be achieved?
    Thank you,
    sam

    Goto the planning area and create a data slice. When you get to the data slice screen on the right hand side in Bps0, you will see list of characteristics and go to the fiscal year and in that in from column, enetr 2006. Save the model
    Execute the layout and you will see the cell for 2006 greyed out.

  • How to hide a data column in a planning Layout

    Hi experts,
    we use BW-BPS and I need some datacolums in planning layout, which should be calculated.
    Rest Volume = Forecast - Actual
    The customer wants to see only the "Rest Volume".
    But i need for calculation Forecast and Actual values, which are available in Infocube.
    Do you know how to hide some colums in planning layout ?
    thanks a lot.

    Write a one line macro in SAPAfterDataPut sub module and check the option in the tab MS Excel Settings in the last screen of the layout.
    Sample macro:
    suppose the column you want to hide is 4.
    columns(4).hidden = true

  • To Identify changed data in planning layout in BPS

    We have a planning layout  in BPS which user can change data on individual cell.  We also have an EXIT function to distribute data to this layout.
    User changes data on cells then executes the EXIT function to distribute data. During debugging, we see the changed entry with delta amount in the XTH_DATA table. However, there are many entries with similar characteristics; hence we cannot identify the particular changed data, i.e., the changed sales amount, in XTH_DATA of EXIT function. 
    Is there any configuration and/or function to show only the changes data? Any comments/hints are greatly appreciated.
    Best regards,
    Sam

    Hi,
    When you enter for a particular characteristic and remaining characteristic if you left bank , it will store as #  in layout and samething will also in cube. you can check it cube also.
    for eg.
    profitcenter com.code  sales revenue
    100              #              10
    if you want to avoid this then you have to enter all characteristic values.

  • **URGENT** - PRODUCTION ISSUE with Planning Layout

    Hi,
    we've a manual planning layout that uses both macros SAPAFTERDATAPUT and SAPBEFOREDATAGET with custom code developed in these 2 macros to switch data between "SEM-BPS 1" and "New" sheet.
    Layout has 11 characteristics in lead columns and around 40 keyfigures in data columns (dynamic).
    Using macros, we are formatting SEM-BPS 1 sheet to display all dynamic data coumns in a single page of New sheet.
    for this, our custom macro formats each row of SEM-BPS1 into 10 rows of New sheet by reducing 40 columns into 4 (columns is what matters for our users but not rows).
    We tried this for 40 rows of data. (means, 40 rows 40 columns). Our Custom macro formed 400 rows and 4 columns into New Sheet and even switched data between "SEM-BPS 1" and "New" sheet as per our macro coding. here, we can execute all planning functions. fine till this point
    Now, we have a problem when dealing with 100 rows. (means, 100 rows 40 columns). <b>Our custom macro had formed 1000 rows and 4 columns as expected with accurare data. </b>
    at this point, When we started running any planning function or even when we just click on check button (check button runs both SAP macros, I assume), <b>system is freezing up doing nothing. each time, we had to kill the process. when we looked into CPU usage, we can see that excel.exe process is using 99% of CPU.</b>
    Appreciate if any one can share experinces on this.
    <b><u>Note: </b></u>
    1. By disabling custom macros, we  executed 100 rows 40 columns w/o any issues.
    2. when executed custom macros outside of SAP for 1000 rows 4 columns, both macros took just 2 seconds to switch data between sheets.

    Hi there
    This is the option Jeff was referring to. I see it in my own RoboHelp version 10. As we aren't seeing it in your screen capture, I'm wondering if this was an option that was added via a service release you haven't installed.
    I do suppose another possibility would be that you are using RoboHelp for Word and perhaps that isn't an option with that application.

  • Attached document for data column in BPS Web application

    Hi,
       I have created layout for a BPS application, the layout has been configured to have the ability to allow the used to create the attached documentd for the data column. when the user open the layout through the planning profile, the icon for those documents is displayed and can be open by click those icons. After we generated the Web applicatios, those icons are gone and the user can not open them any more.
      I notice that there is document subcomponent under BPS-WB, I added that subcomponent to my web layout, it still not work.Anybody know how to display the attached documents on the Web, Is this doable?

    Hi Marc,
       I did exactly what you mention in your responce e-mail, but it still not work coreectly.
    following is my propperty configuration for layout and documents:
    Planning layout (layout_lay01)
    Only ready for output: True
    Row/Cell Selection: Cell
    Event on selection: true
    Document on planning layout (Document1)
    Layout: = layout_lay01
    Only ready for output: false
    When I launch the application through the Tcode BPS_WIF0
    There is no document icon display for each data columns which can been in UPSPL. Instead there is a generic document input/display space under the lauout,however there is no any document display within the box, and I can not input anything within the document box. I changes some of the property for the layout and document, but it not work.
    Did I forget some thing?
