Best practices for loading apo planning book data to cube for reporting
Hi,
I would like to know whether there are any Best practices for loading apo planning book data to cube for reporting.
I have seen 2 types of Design:
1) The Planning Book Extractor data is Loaded first to the APO BW system within a Cube, and then get transferred to the Actual BW system. Reports are run from the Actual BW system cube.
2) The Planning Book Extractor data is loaded directly to a cube within the Actual BW system.
We do these data loads during evening hours once in a day.

GkHi GK,
What I have normally seen is:
1) Data would be extracted from APO Planning Area to APO Cube (FOR BACKUP purpose). Weekly or monthly, depending on how much data change you expect, or how critical it is for business. Backups are mostly monthly for DP.
2) Data extracted from APO planning area directly to DSO of staging layer in BW, and then to BW cubes, for reporting.
For DP monthly, SNP daily
You can also use the option 1 that you mentioned below. In this case, the APO cube is the backup cube, while the BW cube is the one that you could use for reporting, and this BW cube gets data from APO cube.
Benefit in this case is that we have to extract data from Planning Area only once. So, planning area is available for jobs/users for more time. However, backup and reporting extraction are getting mixed in this case, so issues in the flow could impact both the backup and the reporting. We have used this scenario recently, and yet to see the full impact.

Synchronisation of two tables in an APO planning book view
If one has 2 separate tables/grids in an APO planning book data view, is there a way of making them move synchronously, so that if the user moves say x buckets in a direction then this applies to both tables?
Thanks for any advice...Unfortunately no but would be very interested to know if someone has come up with any enhancement (has to be GUI related).

Secure APO Planning book by location
Hello All - I am hoping you can help me. I have been trying to find a way to secure updates to a shared planning book in DP by Sales-Org. The Sales-Org in our environment is a "navigational attribute" and not a "characteristic". I tried creating a custom object using RSSM to no avail. I found some documentation that said you could use a user exit or BAdi method "SELECTION CHECK' (/SAPAPO/SDP_SELECTOR) to run additional authorization checks. I need to know whether this method could be used to secure a _Navigational Attribute?_ If so, what information do I need to provide to the developer to implement this exit?
Hi,
You would be able to tackle this partially by adding a new hidden key figure.
Refer the example below;
Kfig1. Stat forecast: Calculated using stat forecasting
Kfig2. Adjusted forecast: user normally changes this
Kfig3. Hidden copy of Adjusted forecast:
Using macros copy 1st snap shot of stat forecast to Adjusted and Hidden. once adjustments are done, use Macro to compare Adjustments and Hidden copy of original values, or this can be a overnight batch job to generate alerts
Hope this helps.

Data selection not showing in Planning book
Hi everybody,
We were using one info cube on APO side and so from cube the data will be shown in the APO planning book..
Now we modifed the cube on APO by adding new infosource and new mappings from BW side with data marts.. I can see the data is successful loaded to cube, but the slection it self is not showing.. i dont see anything related to cube and so i couldnt run the planning book.. My point is data is available in cube bu planning book now have no data...it is not showing any data..
thanks
aryaThere might be few things you should probably check
1) In the planning object structure just activate the POB. through the context menu.
2) I think you might have assigned the Infocube into the Planning areas as Infocube Fed key figures. Make sure that all the characteristics remain the same. There might be inconsistency between the char of the new Cube and the already existing PA.
3) Create time series to the PA or perform initialization of the PA.
4) Try creating a CVC manually and see if it allows to create.
Atleast now you should be able to see the key figures in the Planning Area.
Let me know if it works. -
APO DP planning books - use of 2 grids in view
I am using APO DP V5.
I know that it's possible to have 2 grids in a planning book view.
Can anyone give good examples of where 2 grids have been found to be useful?
Would it be possible to have 1 grid for 'forecast' and 1 grid for 'history'?
Thanks,
Bob AustinThe definition of two grids in a data view (not sure if you mean that by planning book view) is only possible when creating a data view for the first time. Once a data view is created you cannot add the second grid as the Table 2 option is grayed out under Title section of Data View tab.
Good example of using 2 grids is while using DP BOM functionality and also in those cases where the top grid keyfigures are to be drilled down but the bottom grid keyfigures remain at aggregate level. So if you want to compare the forecast numbers in detail with the total budget then use the total budget keyfigure in Grid 2. Remember while drilling down, keyfigures in Grid 2 are not drilled down.
In you case of having forecast in one grid and histroy in another can be effective since the data in the keyfigures are in two different time horizons. But remember if you have history in Grid 2 then the data will be aggregate (assuming you have loaded multiple CVCs) and will not be drilled down which the Forecast keyfigure in Grid 1 is drilled down to lower levels.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

In APO Collaborative DP, can we call Planning books separately on EP?
Dear All,
In APO-DP, I am having 6 planning books but we want to call them separetely, means in group of two's. More in to this , if we click on one link oit should take me to 1st two planning books 2nd link to next two and so on.
But the problem is that for all the planning books we are calling same service (CLPSDP) from EP.
So within one service how can we differntiate planning books execution.
Please help this is urgent requirement.
Useful points will be Rewarded.
Regards,
AdityaAditya,
Did you answer to question? Just wondring if that possible. We have similar requirement -
APO Cube data is not showing in Planning Book
Hi All,
Please help me with the following issue.. We use to load the data to APO cube manually from Flat file by executing BW (Backlog, Historical) reports every week. (not a good practice). That time Planning book was working fine.. And now we automated this process by creating the data marts from BW ODS to APO Cube and the loads are successful with process chain.. But I dont see cube data in Planning book.. In this process the existing info objects properties (Alpha has been removed) has been changed on APO side for mapping and loading purpose.. So when I load the data , the load is successful but I dont see the data in the Planning book(Note : the cube was refreshed and I guess I need to generate CVCs and do some thing in TSCUBE).. Please explain me the details steps. I am BW consultant and dont know much on APO.Present status i see the data in APO cube and not in Planning Book
Thank you
Arya

Edited by: karan s on Apr 3, 2008 8:59 PMHi karan
have you loaded the data from APO cube into the Planning book with TSCUBE ? you can add this step in your process chain also.
If you have made changes in the strcture of BW data mapping then you dont need to change CVCs. -
Validity of exchange rates are not considered in APO DP planning books
Dear SAP Gurus
There are couple of posts on this topic without any conclusive reply and so I am posting this again.
We plan and manage data in multiple currencies and wish to maintain the same in APO DP. We have defined an exchange rate type in the planning area which is used for planning purposes. Please note that we have defined only one planning area for all global products hence data is stored in one currency only.Exchange rates between different currencies for this exchange rate type are maintained in ECC and then transferred to APO via RSA1 using standard functionality. While exchange rates are maintained with validity (valid from date) in this table, APO DP planning books only consider latest exchange rates. This behaviour changes the data in the planning book every time there is a change in the exchange rates and is a complete nonsense.
I believe there is a macro function CURR_CONV_FACTOR() which can be used to bring exchange rates as key figures in the planning book based on validity but given that this macro works only between 2 exchange rates and we use 10 different currencies, its not feasible to use this macro function for all combinations.
Is there any other way to have exchange rates based on validity ? Does SAP has any guidelines / best practice on how to handle multiple currency scenarios in DP.
We are on APO V5.1.
Thanks
ZorbaDear Nitish
Thanks for the message.
Unfortunately your observation is not correct. If you change an exchange rate with future validity,
currency data in the entire horizon (past and future) adopts to that exchange rate.
It doesn't matter whether KF is ready for input or not as data is stored in any one currency only in PA and conversion happen only when you change the currency in the planning book (column 0)
Do some more testing and you will notice the above behaviour.
btw, which version of SCM are you on ?
Cheers

Transport of APO DP planning books
I am using APO V5.
Is it possible to transport individual data views of a planning book?
The standard transaction /sapapo/tsobj suggests that transporting is only possible at the planning book level.
Thanks for any advice...Well NO. There is no "legal" way to do so. Alternatively You can try and play around with the objects in your transport request. This would be the backdoor entry :).
Find out the DVIEW / MVIEW internal names and locate them under the object listin your TR.
Please try this in a test system before proceeding to production.
Cheers!

Thanks for your answer, Uma!
I was testing Bapis that you mentioned and I think it's a radical solution because I would be blocking users, I just want to lock a planning book (users can keep logged in the system)
Transaction /n/sapapo/sdpplbk does not guarantee that user can access to planning book (if he/she is smart )
any suggestion?

Hi Cesar/Rasec,
If I understand correctly you want users not to change any data while some background job is being run. One way to handle this would be to lock and unlock the concerned planning area. This will prevent any users from making changes to the data in the planning area which should also mean your background job will not fail due to locks on data selection by users.
For this you can develop customization to do locking and unlocking of the planning area. The function module ENQUEUE_/SAPAPO/E_PAREA can be used to lock planning area while DEQUEUE_/SAPAPO/E_PAREA to unlock the planning area.
Hope this gives you some direction.
Thanks,

Security issue after publishing planning book on internet.
Hello experts,
I have published Planning Book of SCM4.1 on internet via integrated ITS.
Now the users can access /SAPAPO/SDP94 i:e planning book via internet.
All the services related to it have been activated in SICF and obejects related to it are published via SE80 like CLPSDP, CLPGLOBAL etc.
Now when a user who does not have authorization for that transaction logins via internet the explorer screen shows the authorization failure below but at the same time also gives SAP EASY ACESS button on the page. On clicking on the icon the users login into the SAP as per the roles assigned to him.
And he can access the system in the same way via internet as we do via SAPGUI.
I dont want to give this access.
Moreover this happens only when authorization for transaction SDP94 fails. If user has authorization he directly sees the planning book and does not gets this button.
Is there any extra service started in SICF which is giving the access even after user is not authorized???
I have checked almost all the services in SICF and tried deactiavting them But no positive results.
Is there any user parameter for the same.??
Kinldy help ???
System information:- SAP release 640 SCM4.1 server.
