If you can somehow get hold of SAP Training Material related to BPS then it would be very helpful because it gives even more specific details of settings that have to be made for CO-PA.
<Br><Br>Hope it helps.

  • COPA Acronym - What does it really mean???

    Hello All,
    I have a very simple question that has been often addressed to me for which I truly can't provide a bona-fide answer to. That question is "What does the acronym CO-PA actually stand for"?
    I know the universally accepted response would be Profitability Analysis but what does the CO portion of the acronym really stand for? Is it Cost/Operability or Cost of Operations or what????
    Thanks!!

    CO stands for Controlling and PA stands for Profitability Analyis. So the combination of CO-PA stands for Controlling-Profitability Analysis.
    Profitability Analysis is one of the sub-modules, along with Cost Center Accounting (CCA) and others, that's part of the Controlling module in R3/ECC. Controlling is pretty much Managerial Accounting (as opposed to FI - Financials which is Financial Accounting).

  • BW-BPS versus SAP APO

    Hi!
    Does someone know the main differences between BW-BPS and SAP APO. When should I pick one tool and when the other.
    Best Regards,
    Teresa.

    BW-BPS and APO are very different products. 
    BW-BPS tend to be high level or generic planning and occassionally detailed level planning.  Some common planning applications to be developed are Sales Planning, Inventory Planning, Profitability Planning, CCA/PCA planning, Financial statement planning, etc.  
    APO is more Supply Chain Management for production or demand planning with MRP and capacity checking....

  • BW work experience before SEM-BPS?

    Hello,
    I am a SAP newbie.  I have 5 years of Object-Oriented design and development experience using C++/Java.  I also have a MBA and have worked in product management/marketing for enterprise software products (customer requirements gathering and defining next version of product, sales support on closing deals) and in strategy developoment. 
    My goal is to work in SAP-SEM, leveraging my technical and business background.  I am currently taking training in BW as  was told that I need to understand BW in depth before working in SEM. 
    I am wondering whether it is required/recommended that I work on one or more client projects in BW before I take up a job in SEM-BPS or another SEM module in order to be effective in a SEM job (after taking training in the appliable SEM module) or whether I can directly take up a SEM job without having to work in BW (but getting trained in BW and practicing the module on my own).
    Thank you for any advice.
    Sunil

    Hi Sunil,
    I suggest you go thoroughly through the standards related to accounting and consolidation:
    IFRS 3  - Business Combinations
    IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements
    IAS 7 - Cash Flow Statements
    IAS 14 - Segment Reporting
    IAS 18 - Revenue
    IAS 21 - The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates
    IAS 27 - Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements
    IAS 28 - Investments in Associates
    IAS 31 - Interests in Joint Ventures
    IAS 32 - Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation
    IAS 36 - Impairment of Assets
    You should understand some basic accounting rules, like any profits/revenues/gains are always credit turnovers (negative in BCS), not only in the balanse sheet, but also in P&L etc.
    Don't know any particular books that would be useful (certainly, there are some, I just don't know).
    From the courses, it's without doubt SEM240, and probably AC660.
    And I'm sure that in your neighborhood you'll be able to find some courses related to consolidation issues provided by Big Four firms. Might be very useful.

  • SEM-BPS How to retract Revenue item ,NPV, Pay back Period ,IRR in IM(ECC)

    Hi ,
    I appreciate if someone guide me on how to retract from BPS planning layout , revenue items ,Pay back period , NPV, IRR into Investment Management (ECC). I am able to post investment cost and overhead cost ,but stuck with all above items .
    Thanks in advance,
    Thanks & Regards,
    Rajiv Jain

    Hi ALL,,                                                                               
    you can only   
    push back planned (investment and overhead) costs; the retraction of      
    revenues, NPV, payback period etc. is  n o t  supported at all.                                                                               
    As a workaround maybe you can somehow read the values to be pushed back   
    in the SEM system via customer owned program in SEM and then use the      
    corresponding BAPI function modules to update appropriation requests in   
    ERP via RFC call of these BAPIs: Please use                               
    -  function module BAPI_APPREQUEST_SETPLANVALUES                          
       to update (plan or) revenue values                                     
    -  function module BAPI_APPREQUEST_CHANGEVARIANT                          
       to update profitability analysis values (NPV, payback period ... ).

  • Cost center planning in BW-BPS 3.5 ?!

    We did not manage to find any planning areas (applications) for cost center planning (the former SEM-BPS 4CCP0001) and the simplified resource planning (the former SEM-BPS 4RES0010) on BW-BPS 3.5.
    Using BPS_TRANS we can not see in client 000 any planning areas, sequences and folders relevant to these planning applications. The same applies for BPS0.
    We have several questions about this:
    1. Are the SEM 3.5 planning applications (or equivalent) delivered with BW 3.5 BPS?
    2. How we can enable/get them on our system? Do we need to install the SEM-BPS 4.0 addon on top of BW 3.5?
    Thank you,
    Narcis

    Thank you for the answer. For lazy people here is your answer from the implementation forum.
    -- by Inga Wiele -
    1. In order to get the SEM-BPS planning applications you need to install the SEM 4.0 Add-On. As SAP SEM is a part of mySAP ERP it is currently in Ramp-Up and not generally available.
    However, SEM 4.0 includes the planning applications Financial Statement Planning, Profitability Planning, Cost Center Planning, Simplified Resource Planning, Investment Planning, Sales Planning and Personnel Cost Planning.
    There is a how-to paper on the SAP Service Marketplace which describes the activation of SEM-BPS planning applications.
    http://service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700004423522001E/INSTALL_PL_APPS30B.PPT
    Besides the SEM-BPS planning applications SAP delivers planning applications in the area of CRM, Retail and PLM with the BI Content Add-On 3.51.
    2. There are no plans to make the SEM-BPS planning applications available with SAP BW 3.5.
    3. You don't need to upgrade to SAP BW 3.5 in order to get the SEM-BPS planning applications.
    However the BI Content Add-On 3.51 includes new features for the planning applications of CRM, Retail and PLM.

  • Questions on BPS BAPI calls and PDF forms

    I will need to create a button on a BPS form and that button is supposed to call a BAPI.  One of the buttons will create a PDF of the form (using the contents of the form) and print said form to a 'default' printer.  The issue is that not all cFolder users will have an ECC logon name.  What am I to do in this instance?  Will I need to pass some type of credentials to the ECC backend in order to run this BAPI?
    Also, how can I get the contents of the form(s) to the BAPI?  I assume that I will need to create the PDF in the code of the BAPI.  Please be patient with me as this is my first time to work with cFolders and/or BPS.
    Regards,
    Davis

    Hi Davis,
    Well, if you are able to log on the BPS application (thus, a Web Interface if I'm not mistaken) then it means that some user is logged on the ABAP-side. It is either a "personal" user or a technical (common) user, that is used for anonymous access.
    You will certainly be able to track down this user with the SM04 transaction.
    You should be able to add a button to the BPS page. One idea would be to call an URL with an ICF service behind that will be able to process the parameters contained in this URL.
    It will be this very ICF service that will call the BAPI.

  • BPS- PS Retraction Problems

    Hi,
    Am using standard FMs UPR_COST_PLAN_INIT and UPR_COST_PLAN_EXEC to retract Primary Cost plan data back to Project Systems.
    I have set up a sender structure called UPB_SND_COPS, pointing to receiver structure UPB_RET_COPS.  I have two lines in the dictionary structure section: /1SEM/_YS_KYFS_005ZARMPP03 and /1SEM/_YS_CHAS_005ZARMPP03 which relate to my planning area.
    QUESTION 1 - do I need to put anything in the offset, field length, field value fields?
    I have set up the transfer rules in transaction UPB_RULE.  This is where I have the problem.  I set up the transfers and ran the retraction and nothing was posted to R/3.  When debugging I saw that all of the fields I had set up rules for were blank when sent to R/3.
    If I go back and, instead of transfering from the sender to receiver structure, I hard code a value for all the fields in UPB_RULE, then it creates records in R/3.
    Has anyone encountered this problem?
    Does anyone have any decent documentation on this retractor? 
    Thanks,
    Tristan

  • Authorization in BPS

    Hi Everybody.
    We have Multi-Planning Area ZMPA that consists of standard planning areas ZSPA1 (infoProvider ZICPA1) and ZSPA2 (infoProvider ZICPA2).
    ZICPA1 infoProvider has:
    - characteristics
         0BUS_AREA;
         0CALQUART1
         0CALYEAR;
         0CMMT_ITEM;
         0FM_AREA;
         0FUNDS_CTR.
    - a key figure 0OI_EXPENSE.
    ZICPA2 infoProvider has:
    - characteristics
         0BUS_AREA;
         0CALQUART1
         0CALYEAR;
         0CMMT_ITEM;
         0FM_AREA;
         ZFUNDCTR.
    - a key figure 0OI_EXPENSE.
    ZFUNDCTR is compounded with 0CALYEAR, 0CMMT_ITEM, 0FM_AREA. ZFUNDCTR has a navigation attribute 0FUNDS_CTR.
    Example of ZFUNDCTR master data:
    ZFUNDCTR   0CALYEAR    0CMMT_ITEM   0FM_AREA      ZFUNDCTR-0FUNDS_CTR
    01        Y1          A1           2700          01
    01        Y1          A2           2700          01
    02        Y1          A1           2700          02
    02        Y1          A3           2700          02
    03        Y1          A3           2700          03
    03        Y1          A4           2700          03
    Where Y1 - year value,
    A1..A4 - different values.
    0FUNDS_CTR is an authorization relevant characteristic. We have selected the 'Obsolete Concept with RSR Authorization Objects' and have created an authorization object ZOFUND for InfoProvider ZICPA1 only.
    The planning function ZMPAPF at the ZMPA area should copy data from ZSPA2 to ZSPA1 with formula like this:
    === begin ===============
    Operand {0FUNDS_CTR,ZFUNDCTR,Plng Area}
    DATA s_fund TYPE STRING.
    DATA V_0FUNDS TYPE 0FUNDS_CTR.
    DATA V_ZFUNDS TYPE ZFUNDCTR.
    foreach V_ZFUNDS in REFDATA.
      s_fund = V_ZFUNDS.
      V_0FUNDS = s_fund.
      {V_0FUNDS,#,Plng Area} = {#,V_ZFUNDS,ZSPA2} .
    endfor.
    === the end ==============
    1) A User has an authorization object ZOFUND with values '01' and '02' .
    But when he performs this planning function there becomes an error that he hasn't an Authorization. System can not to read data from {#,V_ZFUNDS,ZSPA2} because User hasn't an Authorization ZOFUND = #. But ZOFUND authorization have not been selected for ZICPA2 infoProvider.
    Have you any comments?
    2) We have given an authorization value '#' for this User to solve the problem. And now User can see all values in the list of authorization relevant variable in the BPS. I think it's not correct. For example he can see only '#', '01', '02' values for autorization type variable in the BEx Analyzer .

    With best wishes, Alexander.

    Hi,
    To answer ur first question, as u didnt select infocube2 for authorization and the planning function level contains 0FUNDS_CTR, system cant read any record from infocube2 example {#,V_ZFUNDS,ZSPA2}.
    Now after giving # access, he can see all values for the variable but the planning function wont work because authorization is not checked for cube2.
    i hope u should give authorization check for cube2 also. and see giving only # value to cube2.
    i didnt understand what exactly is the planning function doing.
    i guess it is dealing only those records which have 0funds_ctr as # from cube2.
    u can try this.

  • LIST OF VALUES not Populating in BPS WEB INTERFACE ( LAYOUTS )

    Hi BI Guru's
    I have created a WEB interface for BPS in BI ( version 7.0) .  But when i execute this in internet explorer, I do not get the LIST OF VALUES for Material. 
    When I click on "input help" the system open a new window for "Value selection".  When I specify the material code, it gives me blank LIST OF VALUES.
    But it is working for other fields like Customer, UOM in the same layout.
    Please suggest some solution.
    Thanks,
    Nilesh Labde

    hi,
    Thanks for the reply.
    Master data is avaliable for the Material Code.  The problem is in Internet Explorer and not in SAP GUI .
    If i run Planning folder for the same layou in SAP GUI it is working fine.

  • CRM fields not populating in BPS layout for opportunity Planning 0crm_order

    Hello Support,                                                                               
    We are using SAP CRM 5.0 SP09 with BW 7.0 SP 09.                                                                               
    When creating an opportunity in CRM, the product data ( quantity ,
    values) are not appearing in Planning tab( SEM-BPS Layout) .                                                                               
    Kindly let us know what needs to be done to resolve this issue.    
    Thanks and regards,                                                
    Rajiv Jain

    In your CRM system, check your mapping from CRM to BW are correct.
    You can do this in transaction SPRO. Menu path 'SAP Implementation Guide --> Integration with other mySAP components --> SEM --> Change mapping between CRM fields and InfoObjects'. Select planning application 'OPP' and click on 'Mapping table - system entries' on the left.
    In here you should see the mapping from the InfoObject to the CRM field (eg. Infoobject 0CRM_EXPREV uses structure CRM_BW_OPPT_H and field name EXP_REVENUE).
    In order for the value to be passed to planning you must tick the 'Empty' checkbox on.

  • BPS and attributes change

    Hi,
    I'm currently working on BI-IP with planning function "Repost on Basis of Characteristic relationship" and it works well but i would like to know if there's something like this in BPS.
    Some old projects are in BPS and there are some derivation by characteristic relationship. In BPS if an attribute changed from the last writing a new line is created with the new value but i don't think there's another line to cancelled the fisrt one (line with old attribute value).
    I hope someone can find an issue for my question.
    Raito.

    After few test with BPS it doesn't work like BI-IP.
    Let's take an example to be sure we speak about the same thing.
    I've got a Web Interface for the input where we need to fill one Order Number with an Amount. On my Planning Area, there's a derivation by characteristic relationship for profit center (attribute of Order Number).
    I fill my interface with Order Number A and an AMount of 10.
    In my cube i have something like :
    Order number = A / Profit Center = AA / AMount  = 10
    If my master data changed and my new profit center for Order number A is AB. If i changed my data in the input with the value 20, in my cube i've got something like :
    Order number = A / Profit Center = AA / AMount  = 10
    Order number = A / Profit Center = AB / AMount  = 10
    For me it's not good because i need to have 20 in my profit center AB and 0 in AA like how it works with BI-IP and planning function "Repost with characteristic relationship". SO i need to have 3 lines in my cube
    Order number = A / Profit Center = AA / AMount  = 10
    Order number = A / Profit Center = AA / AMount  = -10
    Order number = A / Profit Center = AB / AMount  = 20
    I hope it's clear ...

  • How to check if BIA has effect on a BPS function

    Dear Experts,
    As I know BIA can also improve DB read time (data selection) when performing a BPS function. Currently we are using a BIA test installation to see if it will help us. We have some BPS function with long data selection times.
    I know created BIA indexes on all involved real time cubes. By just executing the concerned BPS functions I can see no effect. I now want to check if the BPS functions do access the BIA at all. For queries this is quite easy to check with RSRT.
    So my question is:
    Is there any tool available to check wether BIA is used by a BPS function or not? Some kind of RSRT for BPS.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Ulrich Meier

    Hi Jens,
    Thanks. I tried this. Strange result is that I get no data in that trace when running a BPS function. I do get data when running that trace during execution of a query which runs on the same InfoCubes as the planning function.
    In the meantime I found table RSDDSTATBIAUSE which gets updated each time a InfoProvider is accessed if it has a BIA Index. Here my InfoProviders get a +1 in field BIA_USED when accessing them with the BPS function.
    Furthermore I came across OSS-Note 990000 and installed the latest version of report ZBPPOBPS70 (I already knew that from BW 3.5). Here I found that field 'BW:Used Aggregate' is not populated, although within the coding of ZBPPOBPS70 there is indication that it should either show the used aggregate or BIA Index. The data is read from table RSDDSTATDM field AGGREGATE. There I found entries in AGGREGATE for 'normal' query calls but none for BPS calls.
    With alll that in mind I'm more and more confused...
    Regards,
    Ulrich

  • Problem with Hierarchies in BPS- Web-Based Planning Applications

    Im trying to use a Web-Based Planning Application in BPS. The Datacolumns consist of a charecterisitc with a hierarchy. this hierarchy is time dependend. The timeframe is set correctly but i still receive an the following error message in my web browser:
    "Hierarchy 'Hierarchy_name' is not valid for date 26.06.2004"
    Does this error message look familiar to anybody? In the moment I have no clue what went wrong

    Hello Tobias,
    I assume you are talking about error message UPC 413 (it always helps to mention the message class and number). Please check table RSHIEDIR. The hierarchy you are using is not valid for the key date you specified (RSHIEDIR-DATEFROM > KEYDATE or RSHIEDIR-DATETO < KEYDATE). If you do not enter a key date in the planning area, the system will always use the system date. So either use a different hierarchy or maintain it differently to be valid on keydate (26.6.2004).

  • Report for Branch wise Trail Balance & Profitability

    Hi,
    I need a report for Branch wise trail balance and Profitability. Is there any standard report in FI for that or do i need to define with Report painter functionality?
    Please advise
    BR,
    Yadayya

    Trial balance and profit and loss account can be drawn atleast at Profit center level or business place through F.01.
    As you have mentioned branch , how have you treated branch ? are they profit centers or business area ?
    Else you can very well use report painter for FAGLFLEXT and draw the details as desired .
