Retraction BCS

Hi Friends !
Performed the necessary steps required for the retraction. Ques:
1) When I click execute in TCode FMBPRET_BCS, in which table the data will be retracted? As I see the datasource, they are build on the structures like "IFMBWRBT"?
2) How to validate the retracted data between the BW & R/3?
Please advise.
With Regards
Rekha

How did you resolve the issue?

  • Retraction from BPS to FM-BCS using T-code: FMCYCOPI_BW

    Hi All
    I´m trying to retract data from BPS to FM-BCS.I have created a query in BW and defined field assignment in R/3.But when I run T-code:FMCYCOPI_BW, I get an error message about 'Fiscal year 0000 not allowed for year-dependent commitment items'.I don´t know how to solve it.
    Thanks in advance!

    i think it means you have to assign the current fiscal year instead of 0000 since you have fiscal year depende ccommitmnet items.
    please could you assist me. im trying to retract data using teh same tcode but i get an error Transferred data does not match input parameters FM Area. thou in the info cube i have the exact same account assignments and have made the field asignments. do i need to create a derivation strategy for planning as well or what?

  • Retraction of MM and SD data for planning use in R/3

    Hello
    Is it possible to retract Material management data and sales and distribution data to R/3  ?
    Do we have any slandered method to retract the data ?
    I do not have any experience in retraction , so please help me with steps , how to create custom retractor if std is not available to support above retraction .

    Hi Jain,
    A retractor is an SAP NetWeaver BI process to extract data and load it into SAP ERP (and R/3). Standard retractors are available for Profitability Analysis (CO-PA), Budget Control System (BCS), Cost Center Accounting (CCA), and Project Planning and Investment Management (PS/IM).
    In the development of planning solutions, you often need to send planned or calculated data to SAP ERP. The target for this data may be SAP standard tables or custom tables. SAP provides some standard retractors, but does not provide a framework to retract data outside of these areas to your SAP ERP or R/3 system.
    As of now SAP dosent have standard retractors in BI for SD and MM data.
    As said you can use the Open Hub Destination for the same.
    Cheers,
    Tanish.

  • Retraction between BW (BPS) - R/3 (EA-PS)

    Hi all,
    I’m trying to do retraction between BW -> R/3 systems. I define field assignments for every BW objects defined as filter and it works fine if ‘FM Area’, ‘Version’ and ‘Fiscal Year’ correspond to the value entered on the selection screen. But the system does not transfer any records for plan data if ‘FM Area’, ‘Version’ and ‘Fiscal Year’ do not correspond whit the values that were entered on the selection screen (Example: FISC_YEAR (FM Field) = 2007 and 0FISCYEAR (BW object) = 2006.
    I already implement 632641 SAP Note, but nothing change. How can I transfer plan data of a specific year in BW to a different year (next year) in R/3 Budget Control System (BCS)?
    Thanks in advance

    Hello Sundar,
    you can't really compare the two. BPS complements IM and does not replace it. Please check the following two links.

  • BPS retraction of Quantity in CO OM not retracting at all !

    Hi everybody, I post after many and many trials.
    I am retracting Primary Costs ( we have planned on CostElements for CO-OM Internal Orders) and I followed the blogs etc. Everything is fine for the Amount and it retracts ok by Posting Period but the quantities are not retracting at all.
    I also fixed the Unit as H as suggested because the quantity is in Hours and the R3 system expect that I retract hours for the CostElement related to Cost of Personnell.
    I don't move out from this position since long and I should deliver the project in 10 days .
    Any help is really really welcome.

    Hi Marc,
    first of all my personal compliments because very often I follow your posts .
    Your answer let me "smell" the right way . Before to post I already debugged the retraction but at first look, if you don't feel that also somebody else found mistakes you can debug for hours and all looks fine. So this time I debugged with more attention and I found something strange in the Unit of Measures. In R3 the Cost Element expect H as Hours but in the RFC was going the quantity without the Unit of Measure. As I remember also in the blog about retraction the author said to take care about UOM. So I checked better Retraction about UOM and I found a OSS note . Anyway if this thread can be of help, I put here the list of OSS notes to be checked.
    The system where I work is always updated but I remember that sometimes especially in some cases where you miss some PIns or for many other reasons, (not good upgrades for example) the system in some part can remain not updated even if there are the proper HP.
    If I can help anybody with similar problems if JUST SEARCHING for  LUPREF02 in OSS NOTES you will find many !!!!

  • BI Retraction to PS-FM

    Hi colleagues!
    I´m trying to retract data from BPS to FM-BCS using te CO-PA pull

    transferred data doesn´t match with imput parameters. I ´ve checked the
    message 684648 but I don´t see how they´ve solved it.I think that my problem has to do with FM when data arrives because I´m testing with a simple query and I´ve
    followed every step and restriction.
    I would appreciate any expertise in retraction to FM or documentation
    refering to FM retraction.
    Thanks in advance!!!

  • BPS- PS Retraction Problems

    Hi,
    Am using standard FMs UPR_COST_PLAN_INIT and UPR_COST_PLAN_EXEC to retract Primary Cost plan data back to Project Systems.
    I have set up a sender structure called UPB_SND_COPS, pointing to receiver structure UPB_RET_COPS.  I have two lines in the dictionary structure section: /1SEM/_YS_KYFS_005ZARMPP03 and /1SEM/_YS_CHAS_005ZARMPP03 which relate to my planning area.
    QUESTION 1 - do I need to put anything in the offset, field length, field value fields?
    I have set up the transfer rules in transaction UPB_RULE.  This is where I have the problem.  I set up the transfers and ran the retraction and nothing was posted to R/3.  When debugging I saw that all of the fields I had set up rules for were blank when sent to R/3.
    If I go back and, instead of transfering from the sender to receiver structure, I hard code a value for all the fields in UPB_RULE, then it creates records in R/3.
    Has anyone encountered this problem?
    Does anyone have any decent documentation on this retractor? 
    Thanks,
    Tristan

  • BW Sales Budget retraction to SAP R/3

    Hi ,
    I need some help in Data Retraction from BW to SAP 6.0.
    I am able to to get data from BW 7.0 to SAP 6.0, the data is a SALES BUDGET. 
    I am running the Transaction code KELR.
    The Problem tha i am facing is with the Charactreristics  "PRCTR"  Profit Centre.
    When data is retracted the Profit Centre get derived from the Material  Master, but i  do not want this profit centre to get derived, where as  I need the Profit centre which is have mentioned in the User Exit.
    I am using the user exit   "ZXKEXU01"  and following is the code return in it "
    CASE ERKRS.
      WHEN '1000'.
        L_T_CE0 = T_CE0[].       "T_CE0 contains CO-PA line items
        CLEAR T_CE0.
        REFRESH T_CE0.           "T_QUERY_DATA contains query data
        LOOP AT T_QUERY_DATA INTO WA_E_QUERY_DATA.
          L_INTEGER = L_INTEGER + 1.
           TI_LE_CHAR = WA_E_QUERY_DATA-TI_LE_CHAR[].
          TI_LE_KYF = WA_E_QUERY_DATA-TI_LE_KYF[].
          READ TABLE L_T_CE0 INTO L_WA_CE0 INDEX L_INTEGER.
           LOOP AT TI_LE_CHAR INTO WA_E_LE_CHAR WHERE IOBJNM = '0PROFIT_CTR'.
          ENDLOOP.
          IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
            L_WA_CE0-PRCTR = 'DO1301'.
          ENDIF.
          APPEND L_WA_CE0 TO T_CE0.
        ENDLOOP.
    ENDCASE.
    I need the "DO1301"  vale to get saved for Profit centre SAP R/3 in the KEPM area.
    I have disabled all the derivation for Profit cetre in t-code KEDR.
    When i Try to Enter data manually through the KEPM  data entry , the system is acception the profir centre that i have entered, and it does not derive it through the Material Master for the Material Entered.
    Where as when i try to retract the sales budget from the BW to SAP R/3 the system is deriving from the Material Master, and ingnores the User EXIT return.
    Please suggest some solution for the above problem.
    Regards
    Nilesh Labde

    Hi Panda,
    Thanks for your reply.
    1) The User Exit is written in SAP R/3, It is the standard User exit delivery by SAP for COPA Retractiion.
    It get's fire when i run the retraction through t-code KELR.
    This trasaction call the BW query ,  to fetch data from BW.
    2) I have not written any custome retraction, this is done through satandard SAP program.
    Please let me know if this clear's your doubt
    regards,

  • Can not Delete Data in SEM-BCS

    Dear Expert,
    I do the following steps :
    1. Created Consolidation groups in workbench ( I was not assigned it to anywhere)
    2. Save.
    3. Deleted Consol group above.
    4. WHen i tried to save, There are errors that said "The data model contains inconsistencies. These have to be cleaned up before you proceed." . And then i click button "Full Display" but the result said : "Data is Consistent. SYnchronzation not neccessary".
    How do i delete data in workbench? because i cannot delete master data that i created in workbench.
    Please advice.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Actually, yes, you may delete master data in BW and then syncronize them with BCS.
    The name of the infoobject containing master data for cons group you may see in your data basis, on the tab strip showing roles assignment (swithing on the tech names).
    Execute RSA1 t-code. Find in infoobjects, the IO for cons groups, delete its master data.
    SE38 t-code, program name = UGMDSYNC. Choose the cons group IO; set source = your BW system name; set target = local. Execute syncronization.
    After that the data for cons group in BW and BCS will be equivalent.
    Best regards,
    Eugene

  • Multiple Fiscal Year Variant in the same client in SEM-BCS...

    I have already looked at some earlier threads relating to this but didn't get a convincing answer to what I would like to know.
    We have had a working SEM-BCS system with fiscal year variant K4. There was no need for defining leading fiscal year variant and none was defined. SAP, by default takes, K4 as the leading fiscal year variant.
    Now there is a requirement for going on a different fiscal year variant for which we have created another databasis (there were a few other reasons besides these) with the same InfoObjects that we used earlier but with different fixed parameters, one of which is fisc year variant V9. Soon, we started experiencing bizarre dumps in the configuration which ultimately convinced me to define a leading fiscal year variant. I was reluctant to do so because there is a lot of old data (which will become 'historical' from new data basis point of view) from the working system on K4 that would still need to be reported on even when we have new BCS solution in the new fiscal year variant V9. That is not going away. There is a need to keep the old data for reporting (hence the rationale for a different data basis among a few others).
    Since earlier Master Data was configured in the old fisc year variant K4, now I have defined the leading fiscal year variant as V9 so that MDF can appropriately identify the period dependency.
    I would like to know if any of you have had an unexpected behavior from the system going forward. Does the system dump out when you try to read the old data (from earlier K4).
    I have tried to explain the dilemma as clearly and succinctly as possible but if you need more clarifications, please do let me know.
    I would really appreciate your help in this.

    Is your requirement is that K4 to be changed to Z5.
    The best way you can do it is in the transformation. Instead of directmapping,
    Write a code like this in the trransformation to the cube
    If SOURCE FIELD - 0FISCVAR eq 'k4'.
    SOURCE FIELD - 0FISCVAR = 'Z5'.
    I dont think we can change th data in the query being displayed. we can change the keyfigure values in query by frmulas etc...
    but for a characteristic, i think we will be able to restrict bt not change the value.
    to obtain the requirement, w have to get the data change before query designer that is in the cube leve.
    Hope this helps,
    Sri...

  • Unable to provide input value to InfoObject in SEM-BCS

    Hello BI Experts,
    I have created an infoobject 'ABC' in BI and have flagged 'With Master Data' and 'With Text'.  This infoobject has an navigational attribute 'XYZ'(XYZ also has 'With Master Data' and 'With Text').
    When I go to T.Code UCWB(BCS Workbench), I could able to see the infoobject 'ABC' and when I try to create master data for 'ABC', I do not see the input field for 'XYZ'.  I want to input values in Infoobject 'XYZ' through this screen(SEM-BCS) and not through BI(right-click on infoobject 'Maintain Master Data).  Please let me know, if I am missing anything.

    Hi Shekar
    I find the ICD setup very 'picky'! If you get one thing wrong, it doesn't work. I have detailed below the steps I usually advise people to tek. Check your setup and see if this helps.
    1. Define Plan Type, Compensation Category = Others.
    2. Define Plan. Link to Plan Type. Plan Usage = May not be in program. On Not in program Tab - define sequence, currency, enrollment rate (per pay period?), activity reference period (Monthly). Your settings may need to be different. On Plan details tab, enter plan years.
    3. Plan enrollment requirements. On the general tab, plan sub tab, make sure the method = EXPLICIT. this allows the user to enter an input value for the ICD. THIS MAY WELL BE THE SOURCE OF YOUR PROBLEM!
    Make sure the CERTIFICATION region is UNTICKED. This can also cause ICDs not to work.
    ALLOWS UNRESTRICTED ENROLLMENT must be TICKED. Otherwise there is no eligibility to the ICD.
    On the rates subregion, make sure the run strt date is set to ENTERABLE.
    4. standard Rates form. Make sure the ACTIVITY TYPE and TAX TYPE are entered. Select the ELEMENT and the INPUT VALUE and TICK the ELEMENT AND INPUT VALUE REQUIRED field.
    On the processing Information tab - TICK ASSIGN ON ENROLMENT, DISPLAY ON ENROLLMENT and PROCESS EACH PAY PERIOD. Enter PER PAY PERIOD AMOUNT in VALUE PASSED TO PAYROLL and OTHER in COMPENSATION CATEGORY.
    Let me know if this works!

  • BCS Release Request Short dump

    Hello,
    I'm trying to release my costumizing request, that contains the SEM-BCS configuration, although i'm getting a short-dump.
    The description is as follows:
    Short text
        Access via 'NULL' object reference not possible.

    If someone have gone trough a similar experience, or have any tip of how to solve this issue, i'd apreciate a comment.
    Will award points for valuable help.
    Thank you

    Hi Ricardo,
    You tried to transport the BCS' configuration, right?
    If in the request was the full set of settings from the start of the project, the it will definitely fail.
    There are some restrictions in BCS transport. See, for example the OSS Note #627924 - 'Restrictions with transport in BW-based SEM-BCS'. It particularly says:
    "For the initial system setup, and after substantial changes in the data model, you should transport the Customizing by means of manually created transport requests. We advise you not to use the automatic recording of all Customizing settings during the first implementation phase in the development system and not to use this request for the structure of the test and productive systems.
    During the transport of a new consolidation area, the following settings should be transported in the following sequence:
    1. Data basis
    2. Consolidation area
    3. Special versions
    After the import of the data basis and the consolidation area, these settings should be checked in the target system. In particular, the RFC destination, the InfoCubes and ODS objects, as well as the InfoObjects. Note that RFC destinations, InfoCubes, ODS objects, virtual cubes and InfoObjects cannot be transported from the consolidation workbench with the transport functions. For instance, you have to transport and activate the InfoCubes and InfoObjects using the BW."
    I usually transport the BCS setting in a little transport requests in this order:
    - all BW objects and settings
    - data basis (with source DB)
    - cons area
    - special versions
    - versions
    - master data
    ...etc.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can we use BCS component  in ECC 6.0, without installing BI 7.0?

    We have a unique situation. We have planned to migrate from 4.6B to ECC 6.0. We have FI- LC and we want to move to SEM-BCS 6.0 in ECC 6.0, without installing separate BI (netweaver 2004s) instance. Is that possible? If possible, will there be any performance issues?  If we use BCS in ECC 6.0, does it eliminate the job of FS data extraction to BW-SEM?
    Do we need a separate BI system, which can also include SEM-BCS? What are the advantages?
    We look forward for advice.

    We found that without installing BI 7.0, BCS component (with its own internal BI) is working in ECC 6.0. In earlier ECC 5.0 or R/3, such facility was not available.
    My question is that "Is it good to use SEM-BCS with in ECC 6.0" or  "Is it better to have separate BI instance, which can include BCS" .  Either answer has to be supported with points. Appreciate any assistance.
