Regarding planning function & data entry in SEM BPS ..

Dear All,
Basically i'm new in BPS & planning function .. :).
But ..
Do you know whether there is program that's enable to input data within BPS and planning function ???
Or ..
Could we create customized program to input data for its ??
Could you tell me how to make it ?
Thanks in advance
Best regards,
Niel.

Hi,
We have manual layouts to input data in bps. planning functions are used to modify or calculate results from the entered or already available data in the cube.

Manual data change in SEM-BPS

Hello,
Dos somebody know how to find possibility of manual data change in the planning layout of SEM-BPS?
Thanks for answers.

Hello Svetlana,
When you meant "to add new (or change existing) data in a planning layout, you have to make use of the function module
API_SEMBPS_SETDATA.
The parameters what you have to pass are:
1) Planning area
2) Planning level (where your layout is defined)
3) Planning package
4) Planning Laoyut
5) Characteristic values of each row
Check the documentation of the Funtion Module (CTRL+F4).
1) Be sure to convert the key figure values in string format, otherwise you would get a runtime error.
2) Make sure that no two rows have same keys (characteristic value tuples)
3) Make sure that all the characteristic values are contained in the planning level (Check the filters)
A simple working example (ABAP Code) you have it from me when things dosen't go forwards.
Thanks and Good Luck!

Regarding Planning function

Hello,
I have a scenario to fill the plan values of some quantity key figure back to the planning cube after manually changing it in the plan query.
My plan query displays the data aggregated for 0calmonth.
Now when i changes the value of this quantity field it should be saved in the cube distributed accoring to the different characteristic values.
For this i thought of using distribution by key planning function.
But i could not use this as there are about 5 characteristic in my cube and for every characteristic combination this value of distributed quantity need to be filled.
How can this be done?

Pratighya

Hello,
could you please elaborate the solution.

Regarding Planning functions

Hi,
I need to understand an existing application,we have a lot of planning functions and webinterfaces.I would like to know the functionality of the planning functions and the global planning sequence upon executing the data.
When ever i execute the planning functions i get 0 records read and 0 records generated ,Can you please help me with respect to how i can understand the planning fucntions functionality by executing the data physically.
points will be assigned.
Thanks,
Subha

Hi,
Open the planning folder in display mode and see what are all planning functions and planning sequences you have and their attibutes. in the sense, whether they are running on opening of the layout or by clicking a button or on save. Then based on that execute the planning functions one by one in sequence in trace mode so you can the data exactly on which function is running. Execution in trace mode will show all the records those are accessed, changed and generated.
Hope this helps.

Planning layout data column issue in BPS

hi there
I am trying to change the layout but it does not allow me to save my changes.
It complains about
"Enter a value for characteristic XXX Year for Plan (column 3)
Message no. UPP_LB022"
But there is no value to be entered here.
Please advise how can this error msg be avoided and I can save my new changes to the layout
kind regards,
Sarah

Hi Deepti
It is in Data columns.
Its working in production enviroment without any values being there for some key figures but it is complaining only when we try to make the changes in the layout and try to save.

Integrated Planning vs BPS - Planning Function and filters

Hi,
I'm trying to create a planning function previously defined in a BPS system into a new system with Integrated Planning. Some considerations:
BPS:
- I define first a planning level on a planning area. In this level I set some selection values.
- Then I define a planning package that can contain other further filter values
- Then I create my planning function
- Then I create a parameter group that contain parameter values the function will use.
Integrated Planning:
- I can create a planning level and, separately, I can define more than one group of filters;
- Then, I can create a planning function, where I can set some fixed values in the "field used for condition" tab. These values are common for every user that launch the function.
So, from my point of view, it seems that:
BPS: I have 3 points where I can set filter parameters (level, package and parameter group), and I can launch for example the same function selecting different packages or different parameter groups;
IP: I have only one point where I can set filter parameters (Filter, defined on level)
Is all right? In this case, I don't exactly know how to migrate the same function defined in BPS in the Integrated Planning environment.
Any ideas?
Thanks for the support!
Gianluca

Hello Gianluca,
BPS: I have 3 points where I can set filter parameters (level, package and parameter group), and I can launch for example the same function selecting different packages or different parameter groups;
IP: I have only one point where I can set filter parameters (Filter, defined on level)
In IP you have 2 places, Filter and the function itself. In the function you will get characters for conditions where you can again filter. Migration is simple.
And in BPS? If I define a planning package with a filter (example: Country = Italy) and I select this filter during the launch of the function, do I see records with country = Italy in my reference data?
I guess you are mentioning package as filter. If yes then yes you will only get Italy data in your reference.
The parameter group restrictions in BPS are done in planning function itself in IP. But one difference is in BPS it allowed multiple parameter groups.
And I think even in BPS FOX brought reference data that were subsets of restrictions made in packages and planning level. I dont think in BPS also we were able to read reference data out of the planning level and package.

T-Bird.

Use of forecast planning function in Integrated planning

Hai ,
Can I Know What is the use forecast planning function in Integrated planning.
Give me One Example.
Please tell What i hv to select in aggregation level, Filter, and Planning function for doing forecast.
Regards
Kishore.

Hi,
Filter is indeed used in IP similar to how planning package was used in BPS. There really is no difference 'conceptually'.
What you have seen is the different options IP offers compared to BPS regarding planning function execution. You can execute planning function directly or using a planning sequence in an application (although in planning modeler, its only a planning sequence that can be executed, for eg., for testing purpose).
If you just execute a planning function without specifying any restriction, it will operate on the entire set of planning data. Whether its a planning sequence or planning function, the data it operates on can be restricted by binding the various characteristics (or variables) using various DPs in the application. What kind of dynamic selection are you looking at?

Assignment of filter to planning function in integrated planning

Dear experts
I am a bit new in Integrated planning and have a following conceptual question regarding filter object in IP
In IP it seems that filter is a substitute object for planning package in BSP.
I however do not see any possibility to assign filter to a planning function except in a planning sequence. I would however imagine to have a functionality to dynamically select the filter when i want to execute a planning function via application (excel based or Web).
It seems that filter is not even required if a planning function is executed seperately (not as part of planning sequence).
I have tried to execute a simple copy function without having any filter at all and it works.
Could someone pls. explain me as to the conceptual difference between object filter and object planning package.

Input enable query column using Planning function

Is it possible to input enable a column in query based on user action in Radio button group or button group by calling a planning function or WAD?
By default the column property for query will be Planning not allowed, but a user action should change the mode to Planning allowed using planning function or entries.
Thanks

Hi Ravi,
you could try to write an exit data slice and a planning function which sets the data slice to not lock the data during runtime. You can find several threads in this forum. how an exit data slice can be used to control the locking of data during runtime.
Together with the command I mentioned in my last answer this may work, but it still depends on your requirements. A dataslice checks only the combination of characteristics. If you can identiy a characteristic for each column this may work. If not, there is no characteristic combination which can be locked. Please consider this when designing your application. This may lead to an additional characteristic which is used just to identify which column should be locked.
Hope this helps ...

Changes are not reflected into SEM-BPS 1 layout.

Hi,
1st, I've included code in SAPAfterDataPut that copies data from SEM-BPS 1 into New Sheet.
Now, I've inserted a method in the sheet module of New Sheet. This method takes care of reflecting changes from New Sheet into SEM-BPS 1 layout. but, finally am not getting changes back to SEM-BPS 1 sheet.
I've tested this in excel (outside of BPS) and it works fine.
in BPS, I went into VB debugging mode (after inserting a break point) and I can see that change that has been made in New Sheet was reflected back to SEM-BPS 1. But, when i test the same out of debugging mode, am not getting the same result.
Looks like,after changes in New Sheet, SAPAfterDataPut is again being executed and is overwriting the changes that I made in new sheet.
Do i need to inlclude code only in SAPBeforeDataPut to reflect changes from new Sheet into SEM-BPS 1?
In excel (outside of BPS), this method works in such a way that, as soon as i make changes in Sheet2 will get reflected into Sheet1 without runnning any macro.
but, with same code, this doesn't work in BPS. (instead of reflecting changes to SEM-BPS 1, changed value in New Sheet is reverted back to original value that is same as the value in SEM-BPS 1)
Appreciate any ideas/thoughts on this.

Hi,
Usually you work with a second sheet in the following way: write a macro that copies the data from the SEM-BPS 1 sheet to the new sheet. In order to run that macro include it into the macro "SAPAfterDataPut" and set the flag in the check box of in the popup of the third screen of the layout builder. The system will call the macro after the data has been written to the sheet SEM-BPS 1.
There is a second predefined macro that the system will executed provided that the flag is set on the popup in the layout builder. This macro is called "SAPBeforeDataGet". It is called before the BPS reads data from the SEM-BPS 1 and should be used for transferring the data back to the first screen (similar to the coding you have done in SAPAfterDataPut). Using this macro should solve your problem.
I did not understand how the changes are transferred from the new sheet in your (stand alone) case. Unfortunately it sometimes does make a difference if you test a macro in a stand alone Excel or in the Excel inplace. Some features are disabled in Excel Inplace (by Microsoft!!).

Execution of a planning function for a row selection of a hierarchy node

Hi all!
Has anyone accomplished to make a configuration, where a planning function would have been executed for a hierarchy node selection and this selection would have been made by a row selection in an analysis item? I can filter the characteristic in a lowest level by selecting rows in analysis item, but if I would select a hierarchy node, the value for the characteristic is empty. I have set the selection state by binding the item_characteristic of analysis item to filter of the other characteristics.
I tried first to reach this functionality by filtering the characteristic with variables in planning modeller filter and determining the values of the variables during runtime by the selection of the analysis item row selection. But I can not implement it as the display hierachy and the hierarchy node selection in the analysis item are variables and modeller does not allow selection of a hierarchy node and hierarchy by variables - even thoug it let's you do it (I receive error message saying "field hienmflag with value 5 is not correct").
Greatful for any working solutions tips you have made up!
Sari

Thanks for the explanation. I come from BPS background and there are few changes when it comes to planning functions in IP. In BPS, the planning function is a bit loosely tied to Planning Package in a sense that a planning function can use any planning package under the planning level to which it belongs. Same is the case in IP (technically), but in BPS the planning package contains all the characteristics and key figures of the planning level and hence the function can execute correctly. What I see in IP is that planning function is very loosely tied to Filter. It can use any filter under the aggregation level even though they differ in the characteristics and key figures. I have tried a PF with different filters and it executes with everyone of them! This doesnu2019t sound right! Am I missing something here?
Also, you can only execute a IP planning function if it is included in a planning sequence. An extra step! The modeling is so intuitive in BPS that IP is a bit repulsive.

SEM BPS - Planning function to distribute total value over months

Hello,
We use SEM BPS. In fact we use the integration of SEM BPS in the CRM opportunity component as opportunity planning.
Now we want to distribute the total value of certain key figures over the months. Either equal distribution or increasing distribution like 1% increase every month. What would be the best way to do that with a planning function?
We need to take into account that the number of months depends on the start and end date of the transaction (opportunity).
Best regards,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
I would probably create a fox formula, do a foreach in selection loop over the months and distribute the values within that formula.
If you want to use a standard distribution function, you need to create the reference data somewhere before, which could be a bit difficult if the timeframe changes according to user selections.
regards
Cornelia

Function types for Balance Sheet Planning missing in SEM-BPS 6.0

Hi BPS experts,
After upgrading our BI-system from SEM 4.0 to SEM 6.0 (level 10) as part of the upgrade from BW 3.5 to BI 7.0 (level 15), the BPS function types for balance sheet planning are not available in the planning environment (Transaction code BPS0).
According to the SAP Library the balance sheet planning functions in SEM-BPS comprises of 6 standard function types - one of them is "Depreciation":
<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sem60/helpdata/en/0a/242537cedf2056e10000009b38f936/frameset.htm">help.sap.com -> Business Planning and Simulation (BW-BPS)</a>
Menu path: Business Planning Functions -> Functions for Balance Sheet Planning
In our existing SEM 4.0 we are using "Depreciation" and the functions based on this function type are of course short dumping when executed in our upgraded system (SEM 6.0) as the function type does not exist here.
Odd though - we do have the function type "Allocation" available in SEM 6.0, which should be delivered with SEM together with the Balance Sheet Planning function types (It is listed directly under "Business Planning Functions" in the SAP Library) .
I have tried to figure out whether we missed out on activating something during or after the system installation, but our basis consultant has not found anything in the installation guides related to this issue. Also I was wondering whether it could be a simple matter of activating some Business Content but without any luck.
Does anybody know why the Balance Sheet Function Types are not available in SEM-BPS 6.0?
Kind regards,
Lars

Data in aggregates not updated after planning in SEM-BPS cubes

We are running BW 3.0B SP27 with SEM-BPS. Our database is DB/2. When users modify plan data on planning layouts, the data in the cube and the aggregates can become inconsistent.
For example, when a user runs a report that uses an aggregate, they get one number, but when they add a drilldown that causes the report to bypass the aggregate and hit the cube directly, the number will be different. The only way to fix this is to deactivate and then reactivate the aggregate that has stale data.
We've tried opening an OSS message, but that hasn't been helpful, since we aren't able to reliably reproduce the problem. Sometimes the aggregates are fine, other times the data will be stale.
We roll up aggregates in the SEM cubes at the end of each business day. We include a request ID filter for "most current data" (0S_RQMRC) in all our SEM queries, so the queries should be bringing in data from the latest open request in addition to the data in the relevant aggregate.
What causes this, and how can we fix it without manually reactivating aggregates?
Thanks,
Jason

is the request still open. close the request and then probably the aggregates will start..
