Planning layout with dynamic period colomns

Dear experts,
I would like to create a planning layout for cost center/ cost elements in which we have the different periods in the columns (1-12). This layout I could already create, but now the business asked to have the number of columns selected dynamically in the selection screen ( eg: I want to enter the data as of April till December).
The reason behind this is that the planning periods of Jan - Mar will be locked when we will enter the data from April to December. My first layout does not allow to enter any data if Jan - Mar is locked.
In other words, would it be possible to have the periods in the selection screen AND in the columns of your layout?
Thanks in advance,
Roeland
Eg:
In selection screen
Period from 3 - 5
Planning layout:
Cost center     cost element          Per 3     Per 4     Per 5
10000     40000001          1000     1200     1400
10000     40000002          2000     2200     2400

Hi,
This indeed describes the problem, but does not really provides an answer to the problem.
Thanks anyhow
I have found a solution to upload data via excel though:
If for example periods 1-4 are locked you should start your layout in excel as of period 5 but you should repeat period 12, five times (to get to 12 columns/periods). This way you will be able to process the file with a planning layout for a year where some periods are blocked)

Planning Layout -KP66 with dynamic period column

Dear experts,
I would like to create a planning layout for cost center/ cost elements in which we have the different periods in the columns .The periods in the columns should dynamically select according to the planning cycle selected in the excel file.
Planning Cycle                           Start Period                                End Period                Total Months

Difficult to achive the report layout with dynamic column names

I have a report layout as below.
So here the column names are dynamic.And each fixed row group has different calculations. I have a date parameter. If I select July 2013, then I need to show data from July 2012 to July 2013 with Columns(Jul-12, Aug-12...Jul-13). How to achive below layout
with dynamic columns?

Hi Sarayu_CM,
According to your description, you want to filter the records of prior year based on only one parameter selection. Right?
In this scenario, we can create two parameters. The first one is for user to select. The second parameter is based on the first parameter selection. We don't need to specify Available Values for the second parameter, but we should use expression to specify
Default Values based on the first parameter selection. Use the expression below:
=DateAdd("m",-12,FormatDateTime(Parameters!param1.Value))
Then we just need to apply a filter on the matrix/dataset to get the records which the date is between values in these two parameters.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best Regards,
Simon Hou

PCA planning layout

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,
Nivi

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

Layout with rows defined by variables

Joint Venture Name is one of our characteristics. We will create a planning layout with two rows, for two different Joint Venture Names selected by the user. The Joint Venture Names should be selected by the user, preferably when opening the layout using a planning folder.
We are already using variables for making the user select year and period in other layouts. This is easily done by using variables in the planning level (or package) selection. But these values are only a part of the header area in those layouts.
Variables may easily be inserted in the rows of the layout. The problem is to set their values. The variables are defined as Fixed Value. "Restriction of Value Required by User" is checked. When entering a range in the the Selection Conditions (or nothing), we get an error message when trying to insert the variable into the layout: Variable ASSET1 could not be replaced in row. The problem is we need a single value and not a range. We would like the user to be able to select that single value. Using "Set Variables" doesn't work. We are not allowed to select a value for those variables. No error message though. If we instead enter possible values in the Selection Conditions, one per line, we may use Set Variables to select a single value per variable and then insert them into the layout. The user will then be able to change value later. However, the number of values is large and may change. So adding all possible values is both time consuming to do the first time and to maintain. Any ideas how to avoid this?

Alrighty! Got it working =]
onClipEvent(Load){this.mt="Portfolio";
this.mc=mt // used elsewhere for transition effects
this.texter.autoSize = "left"
rt = this.texter.textWidth
_x=(_root.intro.footer.Home._x)+(_root.intro.footer.Home.rt)+10
on(rollOver){this.gotoAndPlay(11)}
on(rollOut){this.gotoAndPlay(1)}
on(release){
this.gotoAndPlay(21);
_root.sectioncontrol.nextsection=mt;}
What id like to know now if possible, is how to refresh the movie clips?
In the last "link area" of the lower linkbar I have this line of code to determine the correct placement of the first link area upon which all the rest are aligned
widther= (_x+((_root.intro.footer.Home._x)*-1)+rt)
_root.intro.footer.Home._x=(widther/2)*-1
And that places the "Home" link area in the correct location for what I'm looking for,
since all of the other areas get their x locations on load, and I dont want them sitting there checking the area every frame, I know there is a "refresh" function, I'd just like to know how to apply it (when placing after the "middle location" code for home) to the rest of the clips =]

Planning layout can no longer be displayed after transport

Hello everybody,
I have transported a planning area with all levels and so on.
I have several Manual Planning Layouts with key figures in data columns and rows defined individually.
I am using defined values of G/L Account characteristics in Lead column, each row is defined by a G/L Account number of a specific Chart of accounts predefined in the Header.
I load my G/L Account numbers with the same flat file in Development system and in Production system but after transport the layout cannot be displayed.
If I maintained G/L account characteristic in RSA1 on production system, I find all the account numbers for my Chart of accounts but if I try to define a value of G/L Account in my planning package, I do not find any values on my Chart of Account???
Could you help me??

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

No
I dont think that is possible.

Hi All, please help me...Real time cube planning layout creation...

Hi All,
Could you help me on below process please.
Iam working with BI7.0. I have real time cube (daily sales) and user need to access and update/add records accordingly.
So for this real time cube I have to create planning layout with the data. User can see that data and update/add.
I dont how to create planning layout (i heared that rsplan) how to show the data.
Also I need some help on ABAP, I need to map some fields from a table.
Actually from a flat file iam uploading data into ODS. In ODS has 3 more extra infoObjects.
Ex: Shopping mall code, tenent number and outlet number info i have to pick contract number from table with routine and pass that contact number into ODS one field. It means Contact number will not come from flat file, thats what need table and routine.
So for that I have to create one table (SE11) with all the information. and i have write routine.
I have to read flat file 2 fields( like A and B) and check the value in a table and get the value C and put into ODS one field. I have to do this with routines.
In the table have A, B and C values. Table also I have to create. so also please can u tell me some steps.
Could you please help on this. Also with process chains for this.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Anil,
If you go to RSPLAN there you can go to Portal link (it must be configured properly in system)
In portal there will be wizard where you can easily go step by step and create planning functions and sequences like below:
       1.      You choose the appropriate InfoProvider.
       2.      You create one or more aggregation levels.
       3.      You create one or more filters.
       4.      You create one or more planning functions.
       5.      You create a planning sequence.
       6.      You test the planning model.
which is clearly explained in below link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/43/1d2440301a06f4e10000000a422035/frameset.htm
after doing this you can create a query on aggregates you have created above and then make query input ready i.e planning enabled for keyfigures you want like mentioned in below link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/43/1d023a41130bd5e10000000a422035/frameset.htm
then you can run query in Analyzer and save it as a work book after proper drilldown which can be used as template.
Hope you understood basic thing, as you going on doing u will know clearly every thing.

Upload a flat file to BPS layout with hierarchy: is it possible?

Hello, BPS people!
I used a known "HowTo...using SAPGUI" to load a flat file to BPS layout. Finally I need to use a predefined layout with several variables and hierarchical representation of characteristic values in the key field ( I can't use a special layout for file uploading!). The procedure works fine if I use a flat structure of characteristic in the key field (no hierarchy). But once I choose a hierarchical representation of key characteristic in the level (but nonhierarchical model in the first screen of layout builder!) the layout data after uploading is absolutely wrong!
1) whether is it possible to perform that without ABAP coding?
2) If not, how can I change the function modules to use hierarchy?
Thank you!
Yurij

Sorry again!
I have solved it.
Probably nobody understood my question. First, I have tried to attach file upload function (see "How To..load a flat file into BW-BPS using SAPGUI") to the same planning level where original planning layout with hierarchical structure in the key field already existed. But now I realized that it's impossible!
SOLUTION: It is necessary to build the file upload function at the separated planning level with the same structure as that in the uploaded file. No hierarchies allowed in the "Selection" tab of planning level !!
Such upload function operates perfectly in the planning folder where original layout with the hierarchical structure of key characteristic is presented. After the file upload you can perform all further activities in the planning folder (including that with uploaded data).
Thanks,
Yurij

Query Designer - Dynamic periods

Dear BI EXPERTS,
I am new to BI and I have got a requirement to display a Query with dynamic periods on execution.
Requirement:
On Execution of Report, It asks for a Period from the user.
Suppose user gives 3 then it shows report as below
Char1 Char2 Period1 Period2 Period3
If user gives 5 then it shows report as below
Char1 Char2 Period1 Period2 Period3 Period4 Period5
Kindly let me know how it can be done(step-by-step) and if it solves my problem then i shall definitely assign FULL P O I N T S.
Regards

HI Sajid,
Let us assume that the info object for Period is ZPERIOD.
Now for the query Definition.
1.Drag Char1 into the Row Section of the Query.
2.Drag the the Key figure into the Column Section of the Query.
3. Drag the ZPERIOD object into the column section of the Query above the Keyfigure.
4. No go to the Filter Section and drag and Drop ZPERIOD into it.
5. Right Click and restrict the ZPERIOD with a Manual Input Optional variable. (if not available create one) with range Options as less than or equal to the variable name.
Now this way, when the user Inputs the period the report will show all months less than or equal to the user Input month.
If he does not enter anything it will show all values.
Hope this Helps.
Regards.
Shafi.

**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). Our custom macro had formed 1000 rows and 4 columns as expected with accurare data. 
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), 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.
Appreciate if any one can share experinces on this.
Note: 
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.
Cheers... Rick

Creating Planning Layout for GP12N - Posting Period as columns/rows

I am trying to create new layouts for GP12N, but do not know how to create the integrated layout with one column or one row for each Posting Period 1 - 12. I did read that 'Sets' were not allowed. Can anyone provide the steps necessary to allow Posting Periods as columns or rows?

Hi,
a) Remove period from general data selection.
b) Create 12 columns of the same Key Figure which use the characteristic period and set it as a fixed value

Issue with order or sequence of wbs elements appearance in planning layout

Hi Experts
we have an issue with order or sequence of wbs elements appearance in BPS planning layout.
In BW - 0wbs element - hierarchy order is as below
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
but when we check the same wbs element in BPS planning layout, it appears as below
1
2
3
4
6
7
5
8
Request you to advice how to correct the order.
Best Regards
krishna

Hi,
I came across a similar situation once. I dont remember exactly.
We have two different DataSources on wbs hierarchy. The hiearchy was loaded using the two datasources.
By mistake we were trying to use the hierarchy created by Datasource2, instead of hier created by datasource1.
Can you check that.

The columns must be marked with a * in the columnsin Planning layout

hi ,
Doeas anyone please tell me how to add ' * ' next to characetristic name in the Header of the planning Layout in only some columns headers.
i am not able to just add * and save.
is there any VBA code we have to use ? or any changes in the BSP application of the webinterface attached to the layout.
Suppose i have ' Company code ' in the column header of the planning layout.
i want in the output of the webinterface as ' company code* '
Regards,
Sandhya

Hi Sandhya,
in Excel Layouts you should use VBA. Loop over the cells of the column headings until you find the one with "Company Code". Then change it.
In Web Interfaces you can do the same with a JavaScript item.
