Repost on MultiPlanning Area

Hi Guys,
Do you know of any workarounds we could use to build a repost planning function on a multiple planning area in SEM BPS. I know you cant normally do this but can this be achieved through using a planning function but can we achieve this passing values through an exit function.
Regards,
VK

hi
Standard Planning Area means u can assign one info cube i.e. data basis to planning area and the same info cube cannot be assigned to another planning area.
Combination/Union of different planning areas/cubes is called MultiPlanning Area.
Like Multi Provider in BW.
In Multo Planning Area: Physically u don't have any cube, But at the time of creation we select set of planning areas. In Multi Planning Area also u can hv all planning objects like Planning Levels/Packages/Layouts/Functions etc. as standard Planning Area. The data availability from all planning areas.
Mainly Multiplanning Area is used to refer one cube (i.e. Basic Cube) and plan
data in Transactional Cube.
For eg: if u hv 2006 actual data (i.e. R/3) in Basic Cube and to Plan For 2007.
If we use Standard Planning Area u need to load 2006 actual data first into Transactional Cube then plan for 2007. U will hv both years data in ur transactional cube.
But If u use multiplanning area, u need not load into transactional cube but u can refer basic cube data (2006actual) and plan for 2007. Finally u will hv only plan data in ur transactional cube and the perfornance also will be good.
For any further queries , u can send a message

Multiplanning area ZMSMELT cannot be used

Hi Guru's
Hoping someone can assist.
I modified a InfoCube by removing key figures as well as time characteristics not being used, I have tested the changes on the BW side which seams 100%, but for some reason in Business planning get strange errors.
I have a few basis planning areas linked to the InfoCube which I then use a few multi planning areas. The problem is after I changed the InfoCube , I now get the error message on all the multi planing areas containing the basis area linked to the modified InfoCube about a certain key figure (in this case 0QUANTITY), the strange thing is, I do want to use that key figure, and therefore did not touch it when modifying the cube, so it is still part of the cube untouched and do exist.
The moment I remove the "problem" basis area from the multi, all seams to be fine, but off course I need to plan on that area.
I am not to sure what the error message relates to regarding "Technical Attributes", any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Herewith the detail error message
Multiplanning area ZMSMELT cannot be used
Message no. UPC223
Diagnosis
Key figure 0QUANTITY appears in several base planning areas and has different technical attributes there (type, currency/unit of measure, aggregation). This case can then occur if the base planning areas refer to different RFC destinations. However key figures with the same name from different planning areas, can only be included in a multiplanning area, if they have the same technical attributes.
Procedure
Create characteristic 0QUANTITY in all affected systems with the same technical attributes.
Edited by: Rudi Hattingh on Oct 19, 2008 11:39 AM

Hi,
After editing the Infocufe, Go to BPS0, and edit the basic planning area created on this cube and verify whether 0Quantity is present or not.
Check the multiplanning area, and see which are the other basic planning areas involved.
Check the other basic planning areas. Are the infocubes in another source system. If yes, then the definition of the keyfigure might be different in the different source systmes. That you need to verify. If not, edit the multiplanning area and try to continue with your operation.

Multiplanning Area cannot be used

Hello gurus!
We migrated from BW3.5 to BI 7.0. And we are testing in SANDBOX, we are using the transaction BPS0 for planning, but I have a problem with a Multiplanning area....I got this message: "Multiplanning area CMXSD003 cannot be used"
The message log says:
Multiplanning area CMXSD003 cannot be used
Message no. UPC223
Diagnosis
Key figure 0AMOUNT appears in several base planning areas and has different technical attributes there (type, currency/unit of measure, aggregation). This case can then occur if the base planning areas refer to different RFC destinations. However key figures with the same name from different planning areas, can only be included in a multiplanning area, if they have the same technical attributes.
Procedure
Create characteristic 0AMOUNT in all affected systems with the same technical attributes.
I have 8 planning areas, and I don't use the key figure 0amount in 3 areas...But in the rest of the areas, the 0amount has the same technical attributes.
Besides, in BPS0 in 3.5 I can access to the multiplanning area without problem.
I need your help!!!!....any ideas???

Multiplanning area FOX Formula

Hi everyone,
Im trying to implement a Foxs formula with multi-areas through integrated Planning, but the function does not bring any result, it just says that has read 24 records, but it hasnt modified nor created any record, when, in fact, are at least 4 thousand.
The client request is that apply a correction factor over last year operation amounts. The correction factor is in a different Infocube than the others amounts.
All the characteristics of the aggregation level are set as characteristic to be changed, which are all relevant fields of both infocubes, including the field "Infoprovider". Therefore when I want to reference a key figure I use them all, so, when one of the fields is not in the key figures Infoprovider, I declare it (or set it) with the value "#", Is that procedure correct?.
Ex. Characteristics in bold are not in the key figure's Infoprovider
{Key Figure, 0COMP_CODE, 0COSTCENTER, 0COSTELMNT, 0CO_AREA, 0CURRENCY, 0FISCPER, 0FISCPER3, 0FISCVARNT, 0FISCYEAR, 0INFOPROV, 0PROFIT_CTR, 0VERSION, 0VTYPE, Z1AVERSIO, ZVAR_EC}

Finally, when I try to debug the formula, it doesnt bring any value to the correction factor and exits without continue executing the next part of the code in which it should apply the correction factor over the amounts.
I have some question about this kind of FOX formula:
1.- How I resolve this issue in order to get my correction factor to be applied over the amounts.
2.- Is there a way to make a direct reference in order to read each Infoprovider?
3.- When is right to use all of the fields in the aggregation level (as characteristic to be changed) and when is not?.
4.- If I don't use all multiproviders fields in the aggregation level, the update is over all of the records and its combinations?
I hope you can help me with this.
Thanks in advance and best regards
Inge Eichhorns

Hi Inge,
See my response below for your perusal.
How can i make a direct reference in order to read each Infoprovider?
**When you have a combination of InfoProviders...you need to advise the system to pick up the appropriate InfoProvider. Either you will make the selection a constant or will assign a variable. By selecting or identifying the InfoProvider your function will write to the appropriate Key Figure.**
When is right to use all of the fields in the aggregation level (as characteristic to be changed) and when is not?
**It depends on the requirement. Having said that...**
**You will select all the characteristics in the cube when you are planning to copy one year/one period data to other periods keeping all other characteristics as constant.**
***You will select characteristics based on the functionality that affects the changes on the InfoProvider.
Hope I addressed your requirement.
Should you have any further concerns please let me know.
Regards
Srinivas
Thanks.

How to change BPS multiplanning area variable selected value

Hi!
I have a variable, Drop down list, filld with an exit. Now the variable is filld with values and the value selected last time is marked as selected when application is started. I need to start with the variable unselected or take control over whitch value to have as selected.
Any sugestions how to do that?
Edited by: Jan Kihlström on May 29, 2008 8:38 AM
Edited by: Jan Kihlström on Jun 10, 2008 9:52 AM

Hi,
whenever we execute layout second time, it will always show the last saved variable value.
what can you do in this case, clear the output of the variable exit at the start in the exit itself.

How to use a non cumulative key figure in a multi planning area

Hi
I'm new to bps, my problem is
I need to read the last stock quantity and value at plant and material level to do further calculations in a fox formula, so i made a planning area for the cube 0rt_c36 and another for my tc cube where the results should go, then i combine these areas in a multiplanning area.
problems arise when selecting the key figure in the ratios tab of the multi area, the ratios 0CPTOTSTOBU (last stock) and 0CPTOTSTOPV (last stock purchase value) are not available, only the inflow and outflow ratios are 0CPTOTREBU and 0CPTOTREPV.
I know when reporting, the actual value for stock is calculated by bex, namely, there is no data store at database level, so the question is:
How to obtain last stock for using in bps??
thank you for any help
regards
A. Garduñ

Hi Azael,
In the How to Papers, you will find a Guide on how to take a Sanpshot view of the Stocks(How To Handle Inventory Management Scenarios in BW). Basically if you implement the Guide, you will have another cube called ICSNAP1, which will contain stock quantities /values at the end of each month. You will therefore have to take stock at the end of the last month from that cube and add up the relevant receipts and issues to arrive at the current Stock or Stock as on a particular date.
Hope this helps!

Sriram

Urgent - 'Distribute' Function is reffering to wrong planning area

Dear Consultants
I have problem with 'Distribute with Key' function.
I am using Actuals cube and Planning cube in my multiplanning area. I like to distribute planned quantity from material level to sales office level. No selections for planning area, year and verion at planning level or package.
In the Distribute function, I am using Sales Office characteristics as field to be changed and Planning Area,Year, Version characteristics as Fileds for condition. I am restricting the planning area to my planning data and year and version to planning year and version in the function.
While executing this function, it selects data records from the Actuals Cube, ignoring the values set in the function for planning area, year and version.
Please guide.
Best Regards
Shahid

Hello,
In case you don't want to work with your actuals cube for this function, I think you should select the area (and year, depending if you distribute on the same year or not...)in the planning level.
I think that (please somebody correct me if I'm wrong) the data that is taken into account by your function is what is selected in the level, then, the function runs for its own (sub)-selection.

Multi planning area

Hi Gurus,
I have no access to the system at the moment.
Can I create a new multiplanning area using an existing cube used in another multiplanning area already ?
Please advise.
Thanks
Sanjay

Dear sanjay,
as above mentioned, you can go for what you want exactly.
actually, for one cube you can have only one planning area.
with help of multiplanning area you can use the same cube multiple times.
hope this will help you.

Regenearate Planning area

Hi Friends,
Please calrify the following issue.
Let me explain my problem.
When we exucute the planning folder in the developement system we are getting short dump in the SAP generated program. It is running fine in the Quality and Production system.
I contacted SAP they suggested me follow the OSS note: 781371
SAP suggested me:
You regenerate the planning area which you are using in the planning
folder for which you are getting this dump.
OSS note: 781371 Steps:
1. Execute the UPC_DELETE_CLASSES function module in transaction SE37. The function module has the I_AREA parameter, which you must enter. Here you must enter the technical key of the planning area.
2. Execute the UPC_GENERATE_AREA function module in transaction SE37. The function module has the I_AREA parameter, which you must enter. Here you must enter the technical key of the planning area.
So my question is:
If i execute the both above function modules i need to give the plannin area.
So my planning folder is using the Multi planning area which includes 7 basic planning areas.
shall i proceed with thses steps or not.
My main concern is it is multi planning area . If i regenerate the multiplanning area does it any impact on others in other objects.
Please suggest me whether i can regenerate the multi planning area?
I f regenerate what are the things i need to take care before regenerating the multiplanning area?
Please suggest me how to handle this issue.
Please provide me your valuable suggestions.
It would be great help for me.
Will assign the points.
Thanks
SAP

If i execute the both above function modules i need to give the plannin area.
So my planning folder is using the Multi planning area which includes 7 basic planning areas.
shall i proceed with thses steps or not.
I suggest you execute this for the areas on which your objects in the folders are developed from; if they are from the multi areas, then run this is for multi area.
My main concern is it is multi planning area . If i regenerate the multiplanning area does it any impact on others in other objects.
It may.
I suggest you send a message back to SAP seeking whether to run the FM for the basic area or for multi area.

Copy data between planning area with function module

Hi gurus!
I'm involved in a consumer products project
In my multiplaning area i copy "catalog code" from act to fct after a preliminary selection in a authorization layout..
Due to increase performance I'm in need to convert the FOX which copies data from actual plan area to fct plan area after the authorization check, into a formula exit...
This fox works fine but as you can imagine it takes a lot of time to execute cause it has to read every catalog code form the transactional data...
here follows gross summary of the code.
this FOX copies ACT catalog code into FCT catolg
code by CALQUARTER according to Catalog code
authorization stored in AUTH version
DATA PER TYPE 0CALQUARTER.
DATA ENDPER TYPE 0CALQUARTER.
DATA KEYF TYPE KEYFIG_NAME
PER = VARV(variable)
ENDPER = TMVL(per,4).
catalog code is present in the level selection
with no filter
AUTH is the version used for set up the
authorization in data copy (no quarte info is needed)
IF {KEYF,AUTH,#,PLAN1}>0.
PLAN1 I the FCT plan area, PLAN2 is the Act plan area
DO.
{KEYF,FCT,PER,PLAN1}={KEYF,ACT,PER,PLAN2}.
IF PER = ENDPER.EXIT.ENDIF.
PER=TMVL(PER,1).
ENDDO.
ENDIF.
I've found many example in the forum but nothing which refers to different planning areas data copy with exit.
I'll be gratefull to any of you who can help me to compile this function module.
Best regards
M91

Hi Rakesh,
You can use COPY/Version Management Function to do this.
Path: Demand Planning > Environment >Copy/ Version Management
The system takes into account only those periodicities that are common to both planning areas.
For example, if the data is saved in months in the source planning area (PA1) but in months and weeks in the target planning area (PA2)
the system copies to months in the target planning area and then Disaggregates the data to the storage buckets in accordance with the Time-based Disaggregation.
hope this wil help to understand the basic concept.

Periodic reposting-distrribution-assessment

Hi
can any one explain precisely the difference between periodic reposting-distribution and assessment.
thanx
maunami

Differences between
periodic reposting and distribution are due to information content and
performance.
For periodic reposting, no separate credit record is written
on the sender for the cost element in the summary report.
Instead, the totals
record for the cost element is reduced on the debit side, which means
that the original debit amount can no longer be checked there ("unclean
credit").
However, during
distribution, the system writes a totals record for the credit ("clean credit").
The information on the
receiver is the same for periodic reposting and
distribution ("clean debit").
Compared with periodic reposting, during distribution,
the system also updates the partner in the totals record for the sender.
This means that the
partner can be displayed in the information system on the totals record
level.
As
fewer totals records are written during periodic reposting, performance is better than during distribution.

Would like to add two devices since obtaining HDMI IV: a wireless keyboard

Secondly, I would like to have headphones to have capability to listen tv without disburbing bed partner. I see apple wireless keyboard requires blue tooth usb dongle which costs as much as keyboard, looking at a Kensington wireless keyboard which uses that other technology. Excuse my ignorance.
Do I need to buy both blue tooth and beamed to headphone as my mac doessn't have internal bluetooth. I use Belkin Wireless currently b not n. I found a site with great reviews for 802.11n Mac USB Wireless Adapter, which is n . But pricey. That may be ok as i don't want to go backwards. my systems is used by four rooms wired and wireless and I also want to buy a wireless adapter for an old G3 so it will work in my grandkids house across from kitchen to back two bedrooms.
Can anyone advise which keyboard: i don;t like feel of new Mac flat ones, it slows down typing, I also like white. PS I have a great $1245 Kensington Trackball. So I don't necessarily need combo unit except for the grandkids g3. Iknow this is a big order. But i spent all day learning terms and getting not much done online. Thanks in advance. New HDMI and switcher trying to network an old G3

I am asking about my G5 desktop 1.8.
You asked the right question but in the wrong forum. This is the GEE-FOUR area. That's is why no one is answering other than me, who realized you would benefit from moving your post and offered help to relocate it. I provided the link to the G5 forums previously. I'm sure that, if you post there, you will get help from people who use and manage G5 computers on a regular basis.
From your profile, I see that most of your other posts are in the proper G5 forum, I remain confused about why you insist on getting this question answered in the GEE-FOUR forums, and why polite help offered made you angry.
These are user-to-user forums, not staffed by Apple employees, and everyone volunteers their time without hope of remuneration. That's why the forums are organized by model; people with common equipment types can share ideas and help with common problems. Your computer does not match the equipment and experience base of the forum in whcih you posted.
Misplaced posts are common here due to some confusing labeling of forum areas. However, someone getting mad when politely told they are better served by reposting in the area matching their computer model is NOT common.

Integrated Planning - trying to load data from basic to realtime cube

I have created a mulitprovider for my basic and realtime cube, and trying to copy data from basic to realtime using standard copy function in IP. It is not erroring out but data is not getting copied either. Both cubes having exactly the same structure. I can do a export datasource or a BPS multiplanning area..but I need a solution in IP..Any help would be appreciated...Thanks much..

Infoprovider --> Multiprovider
Agg Level --> Selected fields need to be copied
Filter --> None selected, wanted to copy as is
Pl. Fnc --> Standard Copy.
                char usage: Selected infoprovider for 'changed'
                to parameters: selected all key figs ( percent and amount)
                from and to values: Basic to realtime
Let me know.

Re-using planning objects

Hi SDN friends,
I have an existing implementation configured.
Now, there is a need to customise the loading for new companies.
So, this means existing solution implemented already must not be changed.
I think I will base on existing solution.
Is it possible to create another set of bps customizing based on the existing solution and using the same planning objects? But existing customizing must not be changed or touched.
for example, can i create another planning area using the same planning objects under existing planning area?
Please advise me, thanks.
Regards
Sanjay

Dear,
if you want to create new one then solution given by Vlad Stulikov is good.
If you want to used existing objects only and only for reporting purpose, somewhere else, you can go for multiplanning are.
hope this will help you.

Vinay
