Planning level to be added in aggregation level

Hi,
Currently my aggregation level has the following elements:
1. Plant
2. Sales Group
3. Cutomer
Now I need to change from Plant to Customer Plant. Following are my queries on the same:
1. Can I add customer plant in addition to plant in the aggregation level?
2. Hence forth I would be doing planning on customer plant level, will that be an issue?
3. Will there be any issue with the historical data already planned at plant level?
Kindly help me with the above issue.
Regards,
Bhushan

Hi Bhushan,
1. You can add freely your additional characteristic and your model will technically keep on working ,of course you will need to adjust the filters and functions to the new aggregation level of data
2. Again you will need to adjust your business logic in all components of the aggregation level (filters ,functions)
3.Historical data is apearing currently under Customer Plant = '#' ,you should consider reposting historical data in order to align current with historical data

  • How data update when there is two planning cubes in one aggregation level

    If we have two planning cubes and a multi-cube includes these two planning cubes.
    then we have the aggregation level defined based on this multi-cube.
    if the characteristics and key figures defined in aggregation level all are included in these two planning cubes. When we plan the data with plan query based on this aggregation level, which plan cube will be updated with plan data, or both of them?

    HI Wang,
    yes as Bindu said you need to restrict the layout based on the infoprovider.
    Lets assume that we have a multi provider M1 and it has two planning cubes cube1 and cube1.
    in case u develop a layout for updating cube 1 give the restriction in the filter section as infoprovider = cube1.
    or the vice versa.
    Else ur layout must input values for both the cubes simultaneously, then in that case create two restricted KF with each having a restriction for cube1 and cube 2.
    so wen the user enters value for the first restricted KF it will get saved in cube1 and wen he enters value for the second  restricted KF it will gets saved in cube2.
    This is how it works. Guess this was useful to u.

  • Customer Exit in query on aggregation level

    Hi,
    I try to have variables filled with a customer exit.
    The coding of the customer exit is correct, this have been tested in queries on multiproviders.
    Unfortunately it is not working when these variables are used on level of aggregation levels.
    What I would like to achieve:
    We have some planning queries on aggregation levels. Different users can plan on the same query (and aggregation level), but not for the same set of data. Therefore the query should be restricted to the authorized values. Unfortunately we can not switch to the new authorization concept (analysis authorizations) yet, but we already need this functionality very soon.
    The customer exits are the only possible option. Unfortunately it seems that the customer exits are not being executed when the variables are used in queries on aggregation levels.
    The variables are not ready for input and should be filled in I_STEP = 2
    Is this normal? If so, is there a work around?
    Thanks in advance for quick replies!
    Kind regards,
    Bart

    Hi,
    You can debug your query by putting the break-point in your exit code and execute the query in RSRT. This way you will be able to find if your customer exit is actually being called or not. If it is being called then there can be some logical problem with your code due to which the variable values are not getting populated.

  • Aggregation level  is locked by the Change and Transport Organizer

    Dear All,
                   I have created aggregation level in the planning cube and transported to Production from dev, Once i transported to production i am not able to change the aggregation level in Dev, and also aggregation level is Inactive.  Aggregation level YPNC2 is locked by the Change and Transport Organizer. Please suggest how to activate the aggregation level in Dev.
    Thanks
    Christopher

    Hi,
      Kindly check the following,
    1. Is your aggregation level transported properly to the production system ?
    2. Was your aggregation level active while you were including it in the transport request ?
    3. Did you properly include the aggregation level in the request?
    If you find that the answers of all the above questions is "YES", then there should not be any problem in your aggregation level.
    Hope this solves your issue, if not kindly get back to me.

  • IP question: Aggregation Level picture icon color?

    We are pretty new on IP (Integrated Planning).  You know that the picture icon of Aggregation Level look like a two step stair.  When we check our BI 7.0 system, find for some aggregation levels, both the steps are white color, while for others, the top step is white color and the bottom step is blue color which looks like a small cube shape.  What are the difference?  The one with bottom step being the blue color means this aggregation level is activated and the one with both steps being white colors means they are inactivated?
    Another question, as what we know, in order to do planning, the Cube must be real-time cube other than standard InfoCube in the setting of the cube, right?  In our system, we find the aggregation is built on a Multi-Provider and underlying the Multi-Provider, there are about 6 cubes.  But when we check all the 6 cubes, find the settings for these cubes are all set to Standard InfoCube.  That means with the aggregation level built upon this multi-provider, users can't do any planning, right?
    We will give you reward points!

    Hi Kevin,
    You can build a simple aggregation Level on a real time cube.
    Aslo we can build AGgregation levels on Multi providers ( which must contain atleast one real time Cube) . These kind of aggregation levels are called as Complex Aggregation levels.
    Also regd the Aggregation level Colours , your understanding is right.

    Hope this clarifies.

  • Aggregation Level Deletion (BI-IP)

    Greetings Y'all!
    Hi Experts and BI Fans!  I'm bummed out:  How do I delete an aggregation level that I previously defined on top of a real-time cube?
    Much thanks and more power!
    P.

    Hi,
    You can do this using the planning modeler. In the <b>Aggregation Levels</b> tab, there is a button to delete. But for deleting a level, you will first need to delete all objects which are using it - filters, planning functions, queries etc.
    Hope this helps (also, for quicker answers you should post queries on IP in the <i>Business Planning</i> forum).

  • Aggregation level and planning filter question

    Hi,
    I have below questions on aggregation levels and planning fitlers.
    Scenario: An Aggregation level is built on a multiprovider( Actual Cub1(5 chars, 4 keyfig), Actual Cube2(8 chars, 6 key fig), and Real Time Cube3(8 chars and 3 keyfig)). A FOX copy function has to be built on this aggregation level in which data from cube1 will be copied to cube 3.
    1. Does an Aggregation level need to have all chars and keyfigures from cube 1 and cube 3? or it should have structure of Cube 3 only as data will be written to cube 3?
    - what are the standard design considerations for defining aggregation level?
    2. In planning filter, both cube1 and cube3 are to be restricted or only cube3?
    Is it necessary that only target planning cube is to be resricted? In that case how function will get the source data from cube1?
    - what are the standard design considerations for defining planning filter?
    Please provide some info on this...
    any document on design consderations for planning object will be great.
    Thanks,
    Pundari.

  • Integrated Planning - No ability for restrictions on Aggreg. Level ?

    Hi there,
    I have noticed in the new Integrated planning that it is only possible to restrict data at the filter level.
    In comparison to the old BPS, where you could restrict data at both the Planning Level and Planning package is this not a slight reduction in functionality ?
    This will mean that it will be necessary to repeatedly assign variables / static restrictions to many filters which have similar selection criteria rather than maintaining them once at the Aggregation Level
    Does anyone know if it is envisaged that selection will be possible on aggregation levels in upcoming support packages?
    thanks
    Mark

    Hi SR,
    thanks, so it will be available in  BI 7.1 ?  (which is SP12 isnt it?)  or in a later release ?
    Many thanks.

  • Integrated Planning - Aggregation levels & Filters

    Hi Marc,
    Could you explain the advantage of using Aggregation levels & filters in the NW2004s Integrated Planning.
    Thanks!

    Now that I have had a chance to see and touch Integrated Planning I now know that Aggregation levels are similar to the Planning levels in BPS and the Filter like Packages in BPS determines values.

  • Planning Job Aggregation Level

    I am running a Background Job (Univariate Forecast Profile).  My Selection Profile excludes 3 single values can I still run the model at this level of aggregation "total" excluding those 3 single values.  Running the model at the Total should be more accurate than running the model for 22 single values and summing the forecast.  For some reason a forecast is no longer being produced?  I do get the warning Characteristic of selection not part of aggregation level.  I didn't notice any problems the last couple months. 
    Thanks, experts!

    Thanks Guarav, please see my comment below.
    Ok, I believe I have resolved the issue.  I am going to summarize my previous process. 
    1.Created a Master Profile (forecast) for each Strategy I wanted to test.  I would use the same Master Profile even if I changed the Parameters in the Univariate Profile. 
    2.Used the same forecast Activity, changing each time I changed the Strategy.  Planning Job would remain the same.
    3.By creating a New Activity & New Planning Job my forecast model appears to be running correctly.  The only items I continue to select in the Planning Job Aggregation Level are SourceSystem and Product.
    It Appears the best methodology is to set up a separate Master Profile/Univariate Profile for each Strategy & set of Parameters.  A separate Activity & Planning Job should also be set up for each Strategy & set of Parameters.  This would also have to be done in order to add to an overnight (monthly) Process Chain.

  • Aggregation level ZFI_FINGL is locked by the Change and Transport Organizer

    Dear,
    After transport from a dev to prod system I get this message on the planning modeler :
    "System is not set to changeable - objects are not changeable
    Aggregation level ZFI_FINGL is locked by the Change and Transport Organizer"
    Do you know how to fix it ?
    Thanks in advance,
    Thibaut

    Hi,
    By default the planning modeller configuration is added to the standard BEx transport (if it is not saved in $TMP). If there is not one set up then create one in the admin workbench transport connection.
    If you don't use this, then you can add the objects you wish to change manually into a transport before you change them - this also works.
    Cheers

  • Aggregation level ZSPLN inconsistent : Infoprovider 0PLANT can not be used

    Hi ,
    I have added a new characteristic in the multi provider . Added the same characteristic in the aggregation level. But when I activated the aggregation level , system is giving aggregation
    level inconsistent message? Has anyone come across this error.  Early reply on this issue will be much
    appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi Mayanak,
    I have looked at this post earlier . I have activated planning cube and  multi  provider. But still I a not able to activate the aggregation level. Please let me know if you have any other thoughts.

  • Empty Aggregation Level - Need user to put in entries when none exist

    Hi, I have an aggregation level for Version, Material Family, and a Key Figure.  The Cube has no data planned at this level when the user 1st starts to work with their version. 
    I am trying to find a way to get the user to be able to input a Key Figure Value for some Material Families.
    I would either like the users to see a list of Material Families and input the Key Figure Next to the Material Family
    or
    I would like the user to input a Material Familly and the associated Key Figure for each family value they have.  Thus creating entries for the Material Family Values they would like to run a planning function on.
    I have been able to create a query that shows a list of Material Families and an input enabled Key Figure Field.  When I put the value in and Save the Value gets saved to "Unassigned" Material Family even though I put the Key Figure Value next to a displayed Material Family.
    I have also been able to create a query that does not show the Families but has an input record.  The same thing seems to happen.  I input a family value and key figure value, save, and it gets saved to "Unassigned".
    I have tried working with Characteristic Relationships, but it doesn seem to work when I'm just working with 1 characteristic like Material Family.  Here's an example of my issue:  Link:[http://i27.tinypic.com/n1a1wn.png|http://i27.tinypic.com/n1a1wn.png]
    Am I going about this in the right Way
    Is there a way to have the user add data where there is none?
    It seems I have such a simple scenario.

    Hi, Thanks for following up.  I simply need to have users input the Key Figure Values for a single "Family" Characteristic.  I am simply trying to create "Family" Records for which no planning data exists and it is totally eluding me.  The Aggregation Level only has Family, Version, InfoProvider.  Version and InfoProvider are in the filter. 
    I have successfully created an input enabled query and also added a input line at the bottom.  If I input input a value next to a Family or if I input a new family and save the data the values just end up in the unassigned family.   To get the families to show up in the query I have the Family Characteristic Advance settings (in query settings) set to Master Data
    Please take a look at the below link for an example.
    Please let me know what I have to do so users or myself can create Family records in my aggregation level!

  • Activate more than one Aggregation Level

    Hello experts,
    We use the Integrated Planning and we have more than 80 Aggregation Levels. When the MultiProvider is deactived because of adding a new InfoObject, all our Aggregation Levels are deactivated.
    Is there a possibility to activate more than one Aggregation Level at once? Maybe a special report?
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    please check:

  • Error : Reading from Aggregation Level not permitted

    Hello Gurus,
          Could somebody please give some help or advice regarding this?
    I have a multiprovider on a regular cube and an aggregation level, for some reason the multicube gives me the following error message when I try to display data using listcube.
    Reading from Aggregation Level is not permitted
    Message no. RSPLS801
    Also the  Query on the multicube does not display data for any of the KF's in the Agg Level but when I create a query on the Agg level itself it is fine.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    transaction LISTCUBE does not support all InfoProviders, e.g. aggregation level are not supported. LISTCUBE is a 'low level' to read data from the BW persistence layer, e.g. InfoCubes. Since aggregation level always read transaction data via the so called planning buffer and the planning buffer technically is a special OLAP query LISTCUBE does not support aggregation level.
