Relation between Integrated Planning and BPS

Dear all,
I am just considering about using the BI Integrated Planning. I have a few question about the relation between BW-BPS and BI Integrated Plannning.Can anybody tell me about the near future about these both two? Is the BI Integrated Planning going to replace the BW-BPS or are they going to co-exist instead? Do we have to use them both? Although I'm not used to the new features of BI Integrated Planning, I just quite don't get what is the advantage of using them besides ensuring the future development.
Best regards,
Takashi

Hi Matsumoto,
I have recently implemented both BW-BPS and IP on 2004S.
I have always started with trying to implement IP instead of BW-BPS because, as we all agree, it is the future. Another reason was personal: I wanted to learn IP.
Sometimes I however had to switch to BW-BPS because of following reasons:
- the front-ends are more advanced if the users have a SAPGUI installed. The Excel front-end of IP is more advanced compared to the Excel GUI version of BW-BPS. IP is based on workbooks (the same as BW workbooks). Workbooks have more flexibility than BW-BPS Excel GUI version. The problem is that you need the 2004S gui to use IP via workbooks. Installations of the 2004S gui is rather complex and is almost impossible to install remotely because there are so many components involved.
- the front-ends on the web do not require a SAPGUI and are more advanced in BW-BPS. In BW-BPS, you can use the office web components (Excel on the web) where you can copy past, etc. The IP web version is HTML based and does not yet support the office web component. You can use it for data entry of a limited number of data but is hard to use for large volumes.
- BW-BPS for now supports more hierarchy features than IP. Displaying hierarchies can be done on IP. If you want to do bottom-up or top-down planning, it is adviseable to develop on BW-BPS; Again, these features will in the future be supported by IP but are not yet.
- performance: saving is quite slow in IP compared to BW-BPS.
- timing: if you want to move fast, go for BW-BPS. There is a lot more documentation on forums, you will have a lot less problems etc.
By the way, Sean is 100% correct about the instability of IP. We had to implement a number of notes and had SAP to create new notes for problems we had.
Please assign points if this solved your problem.
Best Regards,
Filip

  • Questions about Integrated Planning and BPS

    Hi all,
    I'm testing the functions of BW7.0. And at the point of comparing the new BI Integrated Planning from the BPS, I'm stuck with 3 problems. Can anybody give me some solution?
    <b>i.</b> When using the input-ready layout of the BW-BPS 3.5, I was able to create a new record and load it up to the cube. Is it possible to make the same operation like this using the BI Integrated Planning of BW7.0?
    <b>ii.</b> When using the BW-BPS 3.5, showing the character hierarchy on the Manual planning layout can be chosen. And I'd like to show the BPS Characteristic Hierarchies in BI Integrated Planning of BW7.0 like it is in the BW-BPS 3.5. Is it possible to show the hierarchy in similar type somehow? If not,can't I show the sum of it anyhow? And if possible,can you also show the sum of the each hierarchy and change the data?
    <b>iii.</b> When showing the Characteristic combination data, can you choose how to show them from the transaction data or from all the combination like it was possible in the BW-BPS 3.5?
    Kind regards,
    Hiroshi Iwanaga

    Dear Beat,
    Thanks for your help.
    The information you gave me made a lot of help.
    Can I ask you more about the first question?
    About getting new lines in the table web item,as you have told me, I have set the parameter NEW_LINES_COUNT as 20 in the table web item. But when I execute it,no lines shows up. Is this a program error or am I setting the parameter in a wrong place?
    And this getting new lines feature, is it also possible when using a workbook?
    Thanks in advance,
    Hiroshi Iwanaga

  • RE: Need Information related to Integrated Planning and I views

    Hi All,
    Goodday,
    We are using the Integrated Planning extensively in the Project and also FOx too.
    We have came across the requiremnet like we need to add the functions whcih we are creatiung now in to the Portal???
    Can Any body advice on this how to do it????
    What I know as per my understanding is
    Te portal is made up of RÔLES (first level menu tab). Each role can itself be made up of a WORKSET (second level menu tab) and each workset is made up of an IVIEW (link to access the input/calculation screens or analysis statuses).
                                                      ROLE
    Workset1                                                          workset2                                        
    Iview1
    Iview2
    Ivie3
    Can any body could help me ont his what wa sthe Procedure I need to follow???
    Regards
    RAM

    Alright Ram,
    The process is first you create a ROLE, then a WORKSET, then a PAGE and within the PAGE you have IVIEWS.
    Personally I dont bother with worksets and just create ROLES, PAGES and iVIEWS.
    It depends on your requirements.
    Cheers,
    Nick.

  • Relation between server's and runtime Data Model?

    I am working on a project utilizing the MVC architecture.
    After some doubts, I decided to create one DataModel class for each table of the server's normalized database and create the necessary relations at runtime and not in SQL prior to download.
    The database is only a few MB and I need the flexibility.
    I would appreciate some links to theoretical material regarding the relation between the runtime and the server's DB data model.
    Thanks,

    Hi Anirudh/Deepa,
    As You said first I have created Outbound Connection Pool for DB adapter and given eis/DB/HRDBDataSource as JNDI name. It asked to save the file Plan.xml and i saved it in Oracle_soa1/Soa/Plan.xml
    Next I created datasorce with JNDI name jdbc/HRDBDataSource and provided all credentials.
    For AQ also i created connectionpool with JNDI name eis/AQ/MyAQ . Here also it asked to save the Plan.xml and Isaved it in Oracle_soa1/Soa/applications/Plan.xml
    In Jdev while configuring AQ adapter I have selected the database [for this only i created connection pool and datasource] and given the JNDI Name as eis/AQ/MyAQ . (I tried with and without giving datasorce value jdbc/HRDBDataSource in AQ adapter )
    Still I am getting the below error.
    *Exception occured when binding was invoked. Exception occured during invocation of JCA binding: "JCA Binding execute of Reference operation 'Enqueue' failed due to: JCA Binding Component connection issue.

  • Relation between GL Account and Invoice?

    Hi Experts,
    I am working with the FI reports for the first time and I do not have any idea on FI functional flow. I have some basic questions like
    What is the Relation between GL Account and Invoice?
    When will an Invoice be posted into BKPF, BSEG, BSAD, BSID, BSAK and BSIK? Is there any field in these tables which gives the Invoice number against which a GL Account is created?
    For example if I want to calculate " no of vendor invoices without PO how can I do that"? How can I know what are vendor invoices created against a PO or without PO?
    Thanks for any help in advance and I am bound to reward points.
    Sri

    <b>What is the Relation between GL Account and Invoice?</b>
    SAP's Glossary for GL Account is
    "A structure that records value movements in a company code and represents the G/L account items in a chart of accounts.
    A G/L account has transaction figures that record changes to the account during a posting period. These figures are totals that are used for G/L reporting."
    In accountancy, an account is a label used for recording and reporting a quantity of almost anything. For example when a company pays salary to its staff, They debit Salary account. This is to identify what is the nature of an expense.
    An invoice is a message to the buyer of goods or services that contains, among other things, Name of the goods or services, Quantity sent, & Remuneration due.
    Invoice is also a SD document used to charge a customer for a delivery of goods or for services rendered.
    <b>When will an Invoice be posted into BKPF, BSEG, BSAD, BSID, BSAK and BSIK? Is there any field in these tables which gives the Invoice number against which a GL Account is created?</b>
    If it were a vendor invoice. (i.e you purchase items or service and recieve invoice)
    Invoice get posted to the tables once someone makes a Logistics Invoice verification through t-code MIRO etc. The teble RBKP gets the first posting.
    If it were your own invoice to your customers, then VBAK and VBAP get the posting.  The connectivity of tables are available in http://www.erpgenie.com/abap/tables.htm As far as SAP is concerned an invoice is a document, so you can only trace invoice as a document number, field name is usually BELNR. Even if a vendor invoice arrive, an internal invoice number is generated where the vendor invoice is entered only as a reference field. This is because, each vendor can have inovices of different size and pattern.
    <b>How can I know what are vendor invoices created against a PO or without PO?</b>
    For a purchase order you can find in table EKBE for BEWTP = Q any invoice document.

  • Difference between Integration Process and Monitoring Process

    Hi Experts,
    What is the difference between Integration Process and Monitoring Process available in PI7.1?
    SAP says that Monitoring process is a special kind of integration process that receives the event messages.
    My doubt is even integration process can receive the event messages.
    Why these two different type of entities are created for the same purpose?
    And what is the technical difference between the two in terms of PI perspective?
    Regards,
    Sami.

    My question is now answered.
    [https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/70a25d3a-e4fa-2a10-43b5-b4169ba3eb17]
    On page 17 of this pdf following sentence is mentioned :-
    From technical perspective, there is no difference between monitoring process and integration process.
    Though logically those are two deifferent things.
    Monitoring porcesses are used to receive only event messages that is comprises of event data only.
    Like Purchase order creation is a event and its event message will have the event data like Order Id, Created on, Created by, Quantity etc., instead of whole purchase order.
    Where as Integration Process is a way to provide solution in some specific circummtances like where we have to automate our process or where we need something in between for the course of communication.
    Guys thanks for your precious time.
    Regards,
    Sami.

  • Relation between MSEG table and movement types in 2lis_03_bf

    Hi all,
    May i know the relation between MSEG table and 2lis_03 _bf xtractor stock type/stockcategory where we see the informarion in r/3 side for this, you answers gets rewarded.
    regards,
    Dan.

    Hi,
    Most of the data for IM comes from the tables MSEG andd MKPF. You can go to MSEG contents and see the data there. You will find all the movement types, stock types and stock categories there. You can also use the transactions MB5B, MB51 etc.. to see the related info in R/3. As I said most of the data comes from these tables but not all the data. It uses some internal programming to get the data.
    Hope it helps...

  • Relation between Sales org and Shipping Point

    Hai all,
           Can any one tell me wt is the relation between Sales Org and Shipping point?
    Ravi
    < PLEASE DONT USE SMS LANGUAGE AND PLEASE SEARCH THE FORUMS.  >

    Hi Ravi,
    There is no direct relation.
    Sales organisation in broader level, it is responsible for selling a product in a company.
    It is liable to the customer interms of service of the product or service and confirmation of the sale order, delivery and invoicing.
    Shipping Point is a logical point from where the shipment / dispatch begins.
    Both Sales organisation & Shipping point wil be linked to plant (one or more).
    In case of sale order, sales org will decide the delivering plant.
    Shipping point will be picked based on delivery plant, sh.conditions (cmr) & loading grp (mmr).
    hope this is clear to you now!

    Tim,
    Please in Contracts forums look for "Need to change OKCTERMSDS Data Source "
    The third reply says
    "The XML for the documents are generated by the product code using BC4J XML generation. No concurrent program is involved in it.
    As regards to including additional fields from Sourcing documents into the XML generated, you can use the BC4J extension fwk to extend the ViewObject that generates XML and modify the query to include any additional fields as needed.
    All the above assumes knowledge of Oracle Application Framework and the customization fwk. There is a Metalink Note (dont know the exact id) which explains how to extend BC4J objects and deploy them.
    Thanks.

  • Relation between business process and functional area during the role search

    Hi Experts,
    We have 2 functional areas in which we have different business process involved.
    During the Access request, if the user selects  one functional area then business process related to that functional area should come.
    Is there any functionality in GRC, where the mapping between functional are and business process to be done?
    Thanks,
    Sriram

    Hi Sri,
    there is relationship between 'Business process' and 'Sub-business' process as in configuration parameter you can setup that once business process is selected only relevant sub-process will be selected.
    There is no such a relation between functional area and business process.
