*Prior statement in script logic

Hi,
I'm getting started with script logic and I'm trying to create a record that will be the result of the current amount in a specific account minus the amount for the same account in the previous period.
I was thinking to use a "prior" statement, but not really sure how to do that. Do somebody could write me an example that would sbustract my current amount minus the amount from the previous period where the account is the same in a sql logic?
Thanks
Martin

Hi,
This should do the trick.
*INCLUDE SYSTEM_CONSTANTS.LGL
*XDIM_MEMBERSET TIMEDIM=PRIOR,%TIME_SET%
*XDIM_Member DataSrc=INput
*WHEN *
*IS *
*REC(EXPRESSION=GET(DATASRC="INPUTSAP",TIME=PRIOR)-GET(DATASRC="INPUTSAP"),NOADD,DATASRC="Movement")
*ENDWHEN
*commit
Cheers,
AvdB

Next, Prior Time in Script Logic

Hi there,
I have a problem about script logic. I have 2 monthly rate types. One of them is end-of-period rate(EPR) and other is average rate(AR). i want calculate average rate(AR) summing two consecutive end-of-period rate, dividing 2. But i donu2019t know how can i get previous end-of-period rate. I used prior and next(-1) but it does not work. Can you explain it how can i do this?
Example;
--Jan-Feb---Mar
EPR -2-3----4
AR----22,5--3,5
*WHEN KUR_ACCOUNT
*IS EPR
*WHEN TIME.MONTHNUM
*IS 1
*REC(KUR_ACCOUNT=AR)
*ELSE
*REC(EXPRESSION=(%VALUE% + GET(TIME=NEXT(-1)) / 2, KUR_ACCOUNT=AR)
*ENDWHEN
*ENDWHEN
*COMMIT
Thanks in advance.

What version and support package of BPC do you work on? In BPC 7.5 a new time offset is possible with the keyword TMVL.

Handling Ranges in Script Logic

Hi Experts
Is it possible to put logic to check a range of values in Script Logic.
For example, if I need to check if the value in Quantity Account is between 200 and 800, then only some Quantity Discount is calculated against this.
What command should one use for this
Any input would be very helpful.
Regards
Krishnendu

Hi Krishnendu,
I believe that you can use MDX or a BADI to do this. Using MDX, for example, the following should write 100 to the QUANT_DISC account in the event that QUANTITY is greater than 200 and less than 800:
[ACCOUNT].[QUANT_DISC] = IFF(([ACCOUNT].[QUANTITY]) > 200,IIF(([ACCOUNT].[QUANTITY])<800,100,0),0)
This is just example MDX code - you'll have to adapt and test yourself. I suggest using the script logic tester to speed the process. Performance may be less than ideal, and you can certainly implement this in a BADI in that event.
It would be nice if it were possible to do this using WHEN/IS statements in script logic, but at present conditional logic based on measure values is not supported in that context.

Script Logic - Scoping Statement Challenge

Dear Friends,
I have a requirement where I need to write a script logic to calculate the net of all Balance Sheet accounts which are under a Hierarchy node (say: BALANCESHEET) and post the reversal to another Account (say: 9999999) which is also located under the hierarchy node: BALANCESHEET
Now the tricky bit is to exlcude the posting account (9999999) when I am reading the Accounts under the hierarchy node: BALANCESHEET.
Anyone knows how to do it ?
Below is my code which only works when the Account: 9999999 is located outside of the hier node: BALANCESHEET
     *XDIM_MEMBERSET ACCOUNT = BAS(BALANCESHEET)
     *XDIM_MEMBERSET TIME = 2014.APR
     *WHEN TIME
     *IS 2014.APR
     *REC(FACTOR = -1, ACCOUNT=9999999)
     *ENDWHEN
The scoping statement I wish that would work is:
     *XDIM_MEMBERSET ACCOUNT = BAS(BALANCESHEET), BUT EXCLUDE 9999999
Appreciate any response on this.
Thanks,

Hi Vadim,
I was hoping you would respond.
Your code worked like a charm!!
I never know until now that we could use the below statement prior to *SELECT statement and use that variable within succeeding *SELECT statement.
*XDIM_MEMBERSET ACCOUNT AS %ACCT% = BAS(BALANCESHEET)
Because before I tried below with no luck but never knew about above statement.
*SELECT(%ALLBSEXIMBAL%,"[ID]",GL_ACCOUNT,"[ID]=BAS(CBS) AND [ID]<>2199999")
Even the SAP Help doesn't have the above syntax in their documentation, how did you know about it??
You are a genius.
Thanks very much for helping out
Cheers!

Script Logic: Using a property in MDX *REC statement (BPC NW)

Hi,
Is it possible to use a Property in an MDX statement without using *LOOKUP() function? I have script successfully working but it takes 15 minutes to execute and would like to speed it up.
I understand that [DIMENSION].[MEMBER].Property is not valid syntax, and do not believe NW has any other functions to resolve the issue, except *LOOKUP which takes a long time.
Specific Example is below:
I have a piece of script that successfully splits JV Expense by customers. A Profit Share planning driver determines the percentage that each customer is entitled to. Typically this will be 100%, but could be 50% between two customers.
The PROFIT SHARE planning drivers records, and PARTNER_INCOME transactional records are below:
ACCOUNT
ENTITY
PARTNER
SIGNED DATA
PROFIT_SHARE
UK_001
PARTNER_A
0.5
PROFIT_SHARE
UK_001
PARTNER_B
0.5
PROFIT_SHARE
UK_002_PLANNING_DRIVERS
PARTNER_B
1.00
PARTNER_INCOME
UK_001
NO_PARTNER
$5,000
PARTNER_INCOME
UK_002
NO_PARTNER
$5,000
UK_001 has two partners that are each entitled to 50% of the $5,000 NET PROFIT.
For UK_002, one one single Partner is entitled to 100% of the $5,000 NET PROFIT.
Using script logic, you can scope the Profit Share account (PROFIT_SHARE) - , and use a *REC statement to multiply this by the driver. It would look like:
*XDIM_MEMBERSET ACCOUNT = PROFIT_SHARE
*WHEN ACCOUNT
IS *
*REC (EXPRESSION = %VALUE% * ([ACCOUNT].[PROFIT_SHARE],[PARTNER].[NO_PARTNER]), ACCOUNT = PARTNER_PROFIT_SHARE)
*ENDWHEN
This wouldn't be a problem if the Planning Driver is always stored on the same Entity that the Income is stored on, but for UK_002, the planning driver is stored on another Entity - which is stored in a the PLAN_DRIVER_REF property of the entity. It should use UK_002_PLAN_DRIVERS
ID (Entity)
PLAN_DRIVER_REF
UK_001
UK_002
UK_002_PLAN_DRIVERS
UK_002_PLANNING_DRIVERS
In this scenario, we need to switch out the Entity used in the MDX, however I do not believe you can use a property in MDX - can anyone confirm?
I have currently implemented the *LOOKUP functionality to loop through, changing each *LOOKUP partner for each loop.
Lookup:
*LOOKUP PLANNING_JV_US
*FOR %LOOP_ASLS% = %ASL_LOOKUP_LOOP_VARIABLE%
*DIM LOOK_%LOOP_PARTNERS%:ACCOUNT = "PROFIT_SHARE"
*DIM LOOK_%LOOP_PARTNERS%:PARTNER= %LOOP_PARTNERS%
*NEXT
*DIM ENTITY = ENTITY.PLAN_DRIVER_REF                   //   Use PLAN_DRIVER_REF Property of Entity
*ENDLOOKUP
Scope and *REC:
*XDIM_MEMBERSET ACCOUNT = PROFIT_SHARE
*WHEN ACCOUNT
IS *
*FOR %LOOP_PARTNERS% = %PARTNER_LOOKUP_LOOP_VARIABLE%      // 1000 Partners
*REC(EXPRESSION = %VALUE% * LOOKUP(LOOK_%LOOP_PARTNERS%), PARTNER= %LOOP_PARTNERS%, ACCOUNT = TCOJVSHAR_CALC, AUDIT_ID = PP_EXPENSE_BY_PARTNER)
*NEXT
*ENDWHEN
The problem with the above, is that because the Lookup is being generated for every single Partner, there are significant numbers of loops.
Does anyone know of another way this can be implemented in Script Logic? Otherwise we'll need to explore BAdI route.
Thanks,
Nick

Hi Nick,
Use property in LOOKUP - will dramatically speed up the calculation without FOR/NEXT.

Reg: Script Logic - REC Statement Variable usage

hi friends
Pl find enclosed the following code:
*WHEN TIME
*IS TMVL(-1,2011.04)
*WHEN ACCOUNT
*IS "EXP01"
*REC(EXPRESSION = [TIME].[2011.04]-%VALUE%,TIME = 2011.04,ACCOUNT = EXP01A)
*ENDWHEN
*ENDWHEN
The above code is working fine and result is extracted but i have hardcoded , ACCOUNT=EXP01A;
My Query is follows:
I have used
*WHEN ACCOUNT
*IS "EXP01"
In REC i want to use concatenation of "A" To account like EXP01&"A"
i know accunt & i want to concatenate "A" and use in REC statement like assign to variable
var1="EXP01" & "A" and use var1 in REC
*REC(EXPRESSION = [TIME].[2011.04]-%VALUE%,TIME = 2011.04,ACCOUNT = var1)
i am not sure the syntax (Whether we need to put in strings)
Also if EXP02 then var1="EXP02"&"A" and so on
In fact i want to make this for all members in Account Dimenstion as generalised.
Pl. verify and suggest best possibility
Thanx & Rgds
Srinath

Hi Krishna
*XDIM_MEMBERSET ACCOUNT AS %ACC% = EXP01
*WHEN ACCOUNT
*IS %ACC%
REC(EXPRESSION = %VALUE%2,TIME = 2011.04,ACCOUNT = %ACC%A)
*ENDWHEN
Is it required to add EXP01A as below?
XDIM_MEMBERSET ACCOUNT AS %ACC% = EXP01, EXP01A
Also In Generalized code you have mentioned:
Instead of Hard Coding EXP01, EXP02 can i have hierarchy of all EXP , so that if any new account added in dimension, there will be no change in script logic. Pl. can you share how to use the same.
If above code needs to be generalised, *FOR *NEXT can be used .
*XDIM_MEMBERSET ACCOUNT AS %ACC_LIST% = EXP01,EXP02,EXP03,EXP04
*FOR %ACC_MBR% = %ACC_LIST%
*WHEN ACCOUNT
*IS %ACC_MBR%
REC(EXPRESSION = %VALUE%2,TIME = 2011.04,ACCOUNT = %ACC_MBR%A)
*ENDWHEN
*NEXT

Script Logic - REC Statement

Hi,
Can we use dimension property value in REC statement?
*REC(EXPRESSION = %value%/[TIME].CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("ACCTHRS"),ACCT_PROJECT="FTE_DIRECT_BASE")
WHEN I PROCESS THE SCRIPT LOGIC I AM GETTING AN ERROR "INVALID LINE IN LOGIC SECTION: *REC........"
THANKS

Hi,
In this case, you can use LOOKUP. For instance,
*LOOKUP XXX
*DIM AAA:TIME=TIME.ACCTHRS
*ENDLOOKUP
*REC(EXPRESSION = %value%/LOOKUP(AAA),ACCT_PROJECT="FTE_DIRECT_BASE")
Hope this helps.

SQL functions in Script Logic

I want to build a script logic but the dimensions that I am testing do not have the fields I want in the format I want. In my case I would like to test the "Start" property in the Employee dimension. The property represents the employee start date but is a var char in the format dd.mm.yyyy rather thna a date field. I want to test whether it is five years prior to the date being processed.
My time dimension has a year property and a monthnum property. Each of these are varchar. I can write SQL that would convert these to a date and compare them with the start property on the employee dimension.
Can I do iinsert SQL functions in the When statement. An example would be
*When convert(datetime, substring(employee.start,4,2) + '/' + substring(employee.start,1,2) + '/' + substring(employee.start,7,4))
Can I use SQL functions in the Is statement? An example would be
*Is <DateAdd(YY,-5 , convert(datetime, Time.Monthnum + '/01/'' + time.year)
Finally when I use such techniques and look at the log by using "show log" in the logic debugger I see no reference to the SQL I used. It is as if the generated SQL has not made use of my functions. Instead all I seee are the extract statements from the three fact tables. Is this normal? Is there a way to see what SQL is really being generated and run?
At the moment it seems my only option is to make changes, try running it and hope I get an output. If no records are written I can't be sure whether it is because embedding SQL function is not supported or because I have made some other error.

No, the "BPC SQL" script logic doesn't allow for this extensive use of real SQL within the scripting syntax. As a concept, it's best to think of "BPC SQL" script logic as, "this unique BPC logic syntax will generate real SQL code when it's executed."
There's very little real SQL that you can use within the syntax itself, and definitely not within the WHEN or IF statements. Nothing like cast, convert, substring, etc. (Except you CAN use these, a little bit, in a *SELECT statement. But I don't see how that will solve your current problem.)
Plus, when you consider how the logic engine processes a set of data, it's helpful to think of it in terms of selects & reading through a recordset. So in that regard, a SQL background can be helpful, in understanding the concepts. (Sort of helpful, except when it confuses you, or frustrates you since you don't have all the power you want.)
Anyway, to solve your problem, you might be able to restate the problem, and then use something like this code, which is valid syntax:
*WHEN TIME.TIMEID
*IS >= VERSION.FirstPlanMonthTimeID
In this case, FirstPlanMonthTimeID is set up in the version dimension as, for example, 20090400 (representing 2009.APR). This timeID is set by BPC automatically when processing the time dimension, and I need to ensure that my Version property value is set to match it.
A key point is that in BPC fact tables, the time dimension is stored as TIMEID (not ID, unlike all the other dimensions), and can be used for comparative evaluation in script logic WHEN/IF. The comparison property needs to be stored as an 8-digit integer value. If your time dimension has days in it (along with months), check the TIMEID after processing, and you should see the pattern for assigning values to TIMEID for days and months, etc.
Normally, TIMEID is assigned pretty sensible and stable values. If it doesn't meet your logic requirements, you can create another property (be careful of USERTIMEID, since that has a specific purpose in the system which I've never fully understood) and assign that whatever (integer) values make sense.

BPC 7.5 MS SP5 wrong numbers multiplying GET (A)*GET(B) in script logic

Hi experts,
We are migrating from BPC 5.1 MS to 7.5 MS SP5 and there have some scripts that are using GET function that retrieve wrong numbers. Particularly, it does not record the decimals figures.
Example1 (multiply): when A=2,3 and B=4,4, then AB=10,12. But doing this in script logic GET(A)GET(B)=10. It does not write the decimal figures.
Example2 (addition): when A=2,3 and B=4,4, then AB=6,7. But doing this in script logic GET(A)GET(B)=6. It does not write the decimal figures.
Particularly, the script we are executing is the following. This script worked ok at 5.1 but not at 7.5:
*XDIM_MEMBERSET ACCOUNTL= INFLA_AUX,INFLA_ACUM
*XDIM_NOSCAN ACCOUNTL = INFLA_ACUM
*XDIM_MEMBERSET CATEGORY=%CATEGORY_SET%
*XDIM_MEMBERSET CURRENCY=LC
*XDIM_MEMBERSET TECHNOLOGY = %TECHNOLOGY_SET%
*XDIM_MEMBERSET PEM=DESCENDANTS([PEM].[PEMTOT],999,LEAVES)
*XDIM_MEMBERSET TIME=DESCENDANTS([TIME].[XXXX.TOT],999,LEAVES)
*CALC_EACH_PERIOD
*WHEN ACCOUNTL
*IS INFLA_AUX
     *WHEN TIME.YEAR
     *IS = PEM.YEAR
*REC(EXPRESSION=1,NOADD,ACCOUNTL=INFLA_ACUM)
            *IS < PEM.YEAR
*REC(EXPRESSION=0,NOADD,ACCOUNTL=INFLA_ACUM)
            *IS > PEM.YEAR
*REC(ACCOUNTL=INFLA_ACUM,NOADD,EXPRESSION=GET(ACCOUNTL="INFLA_ACUM",TIME=PRIOR) * GET(ACCOUNTL="INFLA_AUX",TIME=PRIOR))     //in this sentence!!!!!!
          *ENDWHEN
*ENDWHEN
*COMMIT

*XDIM_MEMBERSET TIME=<ALL>
*WHEN ACCOUNTL
*IS CAPAC_AUX
//*IS *
     *WHEN SIGNEDDATA
     *IS <> 0
REC(ACCOUNTL="PROD_AUX",NOADD,EXPRESSION=GET(ACCOUNTL="CAPAC_AUX")* GET(ACCOUNTL="DISP_INP")* GET(ACCOUNTL="HORA_AUX"))
     *ELSE
*REC(ACCOUNTL="PROD_AUX",NOADD,EXPRESSION=0)
*ENDWHEN
*ENDWHEN
*COMMIT
And we have change the regional settings to "English (United States)".
Many thanks for your answer.

Use of LEFT in Script Logic

I am having one doubt reagrding usage of excel function like LEFT, MID, RIGHT in script logic of SELECT Statement.
Let me know with example if its possible.
I tried the below statement:
*SELECT(%EQACC%,"ID","ACCOUNT","LEFT(ID,6)='BE9001' AND CALC='N' AND ID<>'BE9001010'")
But it throw the error as "invalid select statement"
Anurodh

Anurodh,
what you are trying to do is not supported. As a workaround you can try to create a new property in the dimension (for example IDSHORT), putting in this filed just the first 6 characters of the ID and you can filter on it like in the following example:
*SELECT(%EQACC%,"ID","P_ACCT","IDSHORT='CE0004' AND CALC='N'")

[ASK] Error in Script Logic Using WHEN

Hello guys.

When i validate, it is error for statement : *IS %CGY_PLAN%.
But if that statement i change into : *IS %YEAR_TTL%; it isn't error.
Why is this happen ? How to correct it ?
Thank you.

Hi,
You have 3 variables in your script - CGY_PLAN, CGY_FORECAST, and YEAR_TTL.
Are you passing the values to these variables through DM package?

Deduction maths in script logic

Hi,
i have a business process that goes as follow:
total variable overhead + fixed overhead = total overhead
total overhead - depreciation = factory overhead
in my script logic, i have the following (please don't mind the spaces in the account dimension)
*xdim_memberset account = total variable overhead, fixed overhead, depreciation
*when account
*is total variable overhead, fixed overhead
*rec (account = "total overhead")
*rec (account = "factory overhead", expression = (get(account="variable overhead") + get(account="fixedoverhead") - get(account="depreciation")))
*endwhen
the second *rec doesn't work, any idea on how to rectify this deduction situation?
cheers

Your *IS statement already references two accounts, so you can't reference either of these in your GET(). You need to flip things around a bit.
This should work. You may not even need the factor=-1 in the lsat *REC. It depends on the AccType for each account.
*xdim_memberset account = total variable overhead, fixed overhead, depreciation
*when account
*is total variable overhead
*rec (account = "total overhead")
*rec (account = "factory overhead")
*is total fixed overhead
*rec (account = "total overhead")
*rec (account = "factory overhead")
*is depreciation
*rec (factor= -1, account = "factory overhead")
*endwhen

Thank you very much in all advances.
Best regards,

Hi Yen Li,
Applying SELECTCASE - ENDCASE combination would not produce the desired results. Instead, use Validation Business Rules - by setting up Validation Rules and Validation Rules Details and run the Stored Procedure SPRUNVALID from the Default Logic to execute these validation rules. Call the Stored Procedure by the following syntax:
RUN_STORED_PROCEDURE=SPRUNVALID(u2018applicationu2019,u2019categoryu2019,u2019currencyu2019,u2019%SCOPETABLE%u2019,u2019%LOGTABLE%u2019)
Your command: u201CIf P_ACCT.0005 is > 0, multiply P_ACCT.0004 by P_ACCT.0005 and post the product in P_ACCT.0001. Otherwise do not do anything.u201D will be shown in result!
Regards.

Help in script logic - problem in FOR loop

Hi Experts,
We are using BPC 7.5 SP08. I have written a FOR loop in script logic default.lgf which is as follows:
*FOR %TIM_MEM%=%TIME_SET%
*XDIM_MEMBERSET TIME =%TIM_MEM%
*WHEN P_ACCT2
*IS "OSDU"
REC(EXPRESSION=[P_ACCT2].[ASSTCAINVURO][P_ACCT2].[COGSUPRVIPSA]/[P_ACCT2].[ASSTUPRVTAQTY],P_ACCT2="COGSUIPSAO")
*ENDWHEN
*COMMIT
*NEXT
As per my requirement, all this members: [ASSTCAINVURO], [COGSUPRVIPSA], [ASSTUPRVTAQTY] exists for months September to next year's August. But in my input schedule, the months are from August to next year's July(which is the company's fiscal year). Consequently the loop runs for month August to next year's July while I need to run the loop 1 month late(i.e. September to next year's August). This was achieved earlier by hard-coding the time members which we cannot afford as this requires to update these hard-coded member IDs every year.
We have also tried using the "NEXT" property of TIME dimension as follows:
*XDIM_MEMBERSET TIME =%TIM_MEM%.NEXT
but %TIM_MEM%.NEXT doesn't get the month in 'NEXT'.
Please suggest if there is any way out to solve this problem.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Appu,
Even if you restrict the scope using the XDIM statement, your script will just run the number of times as per the for loop. Actually, in reality, the same calculation is happening again and again, in your code; since your calculation is not based on the time member.
To use the for loop effectively, you need to incorporate the time member in your calculation.
Please look at the below sample code:
*XDIM_MEMBERSET TIME = %TIME_SET%
*FOR %TIM_MEM%=%TIME_SET%
   *WHEN P_ACCT2
   *IS "OSDU"
      *REC(EXPRESSION=<CALCULATION>,P_ACCT2="COGSUIPSAO")
   *ENDWHEN
*NEXT
And in your calculation, you can use statements like
([P_ACCT2].[ASSTCAINVURO],TMVL(1, [TIME].[%TIM_MEM%]))
This will ensure that everytime (as per the for loop), the calculation works on separate set of data.
Hope you got the idea.
