Question on BPFin BPC

Dear Experts,
I am new to SAP BPC.
I am Doing a project. I Need help.
I have Three users 1) Sr.Sales Manager 2) Sales Manager and 3) Sales Executive.
I have created a  three BPF's for each user.
I am assigned a Sales infomation input schdule in Sales Executive's BPF.
Once the Sales Executive enter data in to Sales input schedule & this sales nput schedule should be approve by Sales Manager and same sales input schedule should be forward to Sr.Sales Manager for his approval.
How can we forward reports or input schedules from one user to another for approval and finally store in Database.
Please help me.
Thanks a lot in advance,
Satish.

to use reviewer menu you must setting on the BPF and dimension entity
on the BPF on the define step, select modify and check enable reviewer. So when u complete step one, the status would be review required and step two wont be open until its been approved on menu reviewer
on the dimension entity u put the user on the owner and the user of reviewer on reviewer propertise
ex: put the salesmanager user name on member SalesManager owner properties and put the Srsalesmanager user name on member SrSalesManager Reviewer properties
so when user name sales manager cmplete the first step the menu reviewer whould be open when srsalesmanager open that BPF by clicking the box to complete the step
this was a brief explanation, hope u can use it
best regards

  • BPC NW installation questions

    Dear expert,
    I get that BPC NW is composed by a BW server on 64bit hardware and .Net, IIS, BPC app server on 32bit hardware.
    I am just have 2 questions about the BPC installation and configuration.
    1 -> does the BI content component need to be installed in the BW ABAP server?
    2 -> How can i change the server connection on 32 bit hardware to another BW server on 64 bit hardware?
    Thanks and BR
    Lin

    Hi Lin,
    1. Yes, abap server compoment needs to install on BI system using SAINT, then you can perform the customization as per the installation document. BI system should be BI 7.0 EPH1
    2. normally BPC will also support 64bit windows application but preferred 32bit OS application and it can talk to backend system with 64bit application.
    let me know if you have any questions.
    thanks

  • BPC 10 Sheet Logic - Using SUMIFs

    Hi Gurus,
    This is a question relating to BPC's EPM excel add-in.
    I'm currently compiling a headcount report based on data entered into an input schedule where the user enters a 1 next to an employee who is employed per month, like so:
                                                                            JAN.2012         FEB.2012      MAR.2012      APR.2012
    Senior           John Smith                                        1                        1                   1                     1
    Junior            Jane Johnson                                   0                        1                   1                     1
    Senior           Anne Anderson                                1                        1                   1                     1
    Associate     Ken Clarke                                        1                         0                  0                     0
    The report I'm building adds together the total number of employees for a particular month, per grade (seniors, juniors, associates etc.).  So the above example would compute to:
                                                JAN.2012         FEB.2012      MAR.2012      APR.2012
    Senior                                        2                        2                   2                     2
    Junior                                         0                        1                   1                     1
    Associate                                  1                         0                  0                     0
    I'm using sheet logic to do this and planned on using a SUMIF equation (=SUMIF(GRADE COLUMN, ROW GRADE, MONTH RANGE) with the grade column range fixed, the row grade column fixed, but row unfixed and the month range row fixed, column unfixed.
    I expected to enter this formula in once and for it to auto populate the rest of the grades and the months.  I also need this as it is a dynamic report and the date range may change.  Unfortunately, when I enter in the formula, it calculates it as expected but it does not auto populate the rest of the figures.  If I drag it across it works ok, but this is not an acceptable solution.  When I do simpler equations (for example =B1+B2) it works absolutely fine.
    Does anyone know if there is any rules that prevent the use of SUMIFs or if there is a setting within the EPM that needs changing, or anything else?
    Best,
    Chris

    Hi Chris,
    When you reference a cell containing EPM formula, you will be able to do it once, when you refresh, you won't get the desired result.
    What version of SP do you have? I believe this has been resolved in SP06, so suggest you go to a higher version (SP06 or above), if not already.
    If already on SP06, try this -
    Go to User Options -> Functions (or Others) tab -> Select the "Use EPMMemberID in EPM formulas"
    Hope it helps!!

  • BPC Web Interface

    Hi,
    I'm got an strong assumption and just want to validate with experts before putting this as an option to the client.
    We want to access BPC input schedules and reports (developed using EVDRE function) through web interface. Users should be able to input data through web interface instead of logging into BPC for Excel.
    To achieve the above requirement, we just need to publish the input schedules and reports to the content library and then we use the generated URL to access the respective input schedule/report through portal ?
    Another question is: as BPC is service enabled, can we access the BPC input schedules and reports without SAP portal too?
    Thanks,
    Shabbar

    Hi Robert,
    1.  When you refer to LiveWeb you are refering to the web based report of BPC?
    Under the Portal Publication button in Excel EPM in version 10 there is a  prompt for BI Launch pad or BPC Documents View.  Documents view results in an error.
    Where you successful in converting from Excel to Web in version 10?
    Thanks

  • BPC 7.5 NW - Exchange Rates & Currency Translation

    Hello All,
    I have a couple of questions regarding the BPC currency translation process.
    1.  We have two options to store the exchange rates - either as a direct quote or as an indirect quote.  How are the exchange rates stored in the BPC system?
    2.  We have a property called "MD" in the InputCurrency dimension, which is used as a 'factor' in the currency translation process.  I would like to know how this property is used, in conjunction with the direct/indirect method of maintaining the exchange rates.
    As always, thanks for all your responses.
    Best regards,
    Van.

    Thanks for the response.  I do realize that we can enter the exchange rates either via a flat file or an Input Schedule, and also how the "MD" factor is utilized in the currency translation process.
    I will try to rephrase my questions, as below: 
    1.  In ECC, we have the option to maintain the exchange rates either as a direct rate or an indirect rate.  Similary, I would like to know how the exchange rates are "_stored_" in the BPC system - as indirect quotations or direct quotations. 
    2.  In addition, I would also like to know how the "MD" property in the InputCurrency dimension should be maintained.  In other words, let us say that the exchange rates are stored as direct quotes.  How do we maintain the "MD" property in the inputcurrency dimension for this exchange rate - M or D?
    Hope my questions are a bit more clear now.
    Appreciate all your responses.

  • Best approach for backup and transport (NW BPC 7.5)

    Hi,
    we are currently in a situation, where we have developed a prototype in a Q (quality) envoirnment. This has been a standalone system sofar.
    Now we have a Development->Quality->Production envoirnment - and I want to move my prototype from the Quality system to my Development system.
    I'm thing about the "UJT_BACKUP_RESTORE_UI" program. I will not copy masterdata and transactional data.
    My question is now. Is it possible to backup my Appset prototype in Quality and restore it under a new Appset Name in development, and then put in it a transport request ?
    Or would I have problems with technical names for cubes and dimensions ?
    What is the best approach ?
    Thank you,
    Joergen
    Edited by: jdalby on Jun 14, 2011 9:49 PM

    Hi,
    First of all, you should have posted your question in the BPC for NW forum.
    Coming back to your question, you can try the transaction UJBR. You can take the backup of metadata / masterdata / transaction data or any combination of those.
    I wont suggest you to change the name of the backup files. Instead, you can create a copy of the appset and then take the backup and restore it in DEV.
    Hope this helps.

  • "Unknown/Unidentifed keyword" error when running procedure in BPC 7NW

    Hi,
    Im trying to run a Currency conversion procedure from Default logic. When I try validating I get an error
    "Unknown/Unidentified keyword *RUN_STORED_PROCEDURE=SPRUNCONVERSION ...."
    What could be the problem?
    Thanks,
    Prasanth

    Hi Prasanth,
    There are no stored procedures in BPC version for NW. Instead, you need to use the "*RUN_PROGRAM ..." syntax.
    Please see the documentation of the specific syntax for currency conversion here: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bpc70sp02/helpdata/en/87/39e0b401c345329ae2f306a119eb48/frameset.htm
    The same site should answer a lot of your questions about other BPC NW logic syntax.

  • BPC 5.0 Installation

    Hi,
    We are currently installing the Business Planning & Consolidation 5.0 (ex Outlooksoft) module and have come across the following issue:
    Page 8 of the Master install guide states that
    · AmyUni PDF Creator, which is required for book publishing, is placed on
    the Web server and is available for download from the Office client.
    · Xceed Zip, which is required for zipping and unzipping files, is installed on
    both the servers and clients
    I'm hoping you can clarify what requirements are there for these components to be installed on the clients?  My initial impressions were that they were only required on the server so I need to understand if they really need to be installed on the clients themselves.  If so it will mean more packaging on the client side.
    Regards,
    Tony

    Have moved the question to the BPC / Outlooksoft forum

  • BPC NW and Related BW Configuration

    Hi All,
    We are currently in development stages of BPC NW.  I have a question regarding the BPC  and BW server configuration and load balancing.
    Our BW user base is about 200.
    When we implement BPC we are targeting to roll it out to a initial group of 100 BPC users. Per our understanding all place calls to the existing BW application/database servers to get their reports.
    Are there any sizing documents/guidelines that talk about the tuning that is required to the existing BW servers to accomodate BPC users as well?
    Thanks,
    Shai

    Hi Shai-
    Please see attached docuement that describes the sizing requirements for SAP BusinessObjects Planning and Consolidation version for Netweaver installation.

  • BW BPC 10 input form security

    Hi,
    i would like to ask you a question about BW BPC 10 input form security.
    I want to apply sequrity to input form for each BPC users.
    forexample i have 4 input form in BPC system, form A, form B, form C, form D.
    i want to give a access security to user1 only form A and form C  or  can i apply security to input form folder.
    is there any way  to do this issue.
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    Once you create teams in BPC security, assign some members to that team.
    Now, in your EPM addin, by default, the templates are usually stored in the COMPANY folder. While saving the templates, you will see the teams, on the left side, that you have created in BPC admin.
    Save the templates in one of these teams.
    Please note that you need to be part of the team in order to save the template.
    Hope this helps.

  • VBA not responding in BPC Book Publishing

    Is there a trick to running VBA inside of the BPC book publishing functionality? I cannot get excel VBA to execute when using the BPC publishing to generate a pdf file.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Cary Schulz

    You may need to check the BPC Notes or lob a question to the BPC support team, but I do not believe that VB code will execute during the book publication process. My general advice, which many designers do not appreciate, but it is generally not optimal to use VB code in the excel templates during ordinary BPC implementations.  The code often slows the template processes, and causes headaches for a customer to troubleshoot.
    But please check with Support for a confirmation of the use with BPC Publishing.

  • BPC and RSA1

    Hi experts:
    I have seen some questions related to BPC and RSA1 but they are a little bit confusing and I prefer to make a new question.
    We have a BPC installed. I can see in table UJA_APPL the application set 'APSHELL' in client '100'. However, I can not acces RSA1 from client '100' because RSA1 is activated in client '001' (field BWMANDT from RSADMINA is informed with value '001').
    Does it mean that BPC is installed in client '100' and BW is activated in client '001'?.  I understand that we should be able to acces RSA1 from client '100'.  Can we have some problems with this installation?. We need to work in RSA1 because we need to create transactional infocubes to upload actual data.
    We have read note 1508223 that says that you have to activate RSA1 on the client you are going to intall BPC. I understand that if I have RSA1 in '001' and 'APSHELL' in client '100', our installation don't follow instructions of this note, doesn't it?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Best regards

    Hi Jose,
    "I can see in table UJA_APPL the application set 'APSHELL' in client '100'. However, I can not acces RSA1 from client '100' because RSA1 is activated in client '001' (field BWMANDT from RSADMINA is informed with value '001')."
    According to above statement Yes, RSA1 should be activated in client '100' then you should be able to access APSHELL in RSA1 as well as to create transactional cubes for actual data.
    RSA1 and BPC administration screen should have same objects eg:
    Applicationset (BPC) = Infoarea (RSA1)
    Application (BPC) = Infocube (RSA1)
    Hope it helps.
    Thanks,

  • Default behaviour based upon ACCTYPE

    Hello,
    I am a new BPC user and so, I would appreciate any help provided. I have done a lot of web search on this and aside from a couple of articles on SDN, I have not managed to find anything on this. I have previously posted a question on a similar topic but this is more of a question related to BPC's capabilities, rather than asking for a solution to a problem.
    Some threads on SDN are suggesting that the default behaviour for BPC (Financial Consolidation) 7.5 NW is to store the data using the accounting convention (i.e., negative for INC and positive for EXP). However, when reports are generated using the same data (using EVDRE e.g.), the sign is automatically flipped (i.e., INC accounts are automatically showed as positive while EXP are shown as negative).
    Is this correct? If so, is any reference available to any SAP published documentation on this?
    Many thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    I dont know whether there are any documents around this topic or not. But let me try to explain this a bit.
    The flipping of signs is done twice - one at the time of sending the data to the database and second at the time of fetching the data from the database. Let me give you a very simple example. Lets say, we are posting the below records:
    Revenue (ACCTYPE = INC): 1000
    Expenses (ACCTYPE = EXP): 400
    Theoritically, the profit should be 600. However, by design, we usually keep the profit as the parent of revenue and expenses, which means that profit will be 1400 (which is wrong). So, we change the signs. After posting the data to the database, the data looks like:
    Revenue (ACCTYPE = INC): -1000
    Expenses (ACCTYPE = EXP): 400
    Now, the profit becomes -600.
    When we fetch the data, the data should look like the original values. So, we again flip the signs. So, the data looks like:
    Revenue (ACCTYPE = INC): 1000
    Expenses (ACCTYPE = EXP): 400
    Which is exactly what we had entered initially. Now, the concern is the profit. The profit is -600 as per the calculation. However, the actual profit should be 600. So, we keep the ACCTYPE of profit as INC.
    Hope this gives you the idea.
