SAP B1 Web Interface

Hi Friends,
My boss travels a lot, we however need him every now and then to approve POs etc
The VPN/Citrix possibility does not suit us.Is there any web interface available for SAP B1? I am searching for a web interface that can at least allow the viewing/updating of documents(like invoices,JVs, PO etc).
I will really appreciate any pointer I can get from you.
Many Thanks

I would like to ask why you said The VPN/Citrix possibility does not suit us
What made you decide against it.
Terminal Services is a better options. If the employee who is travelling has internet access anywhere then he/she could could use Remote Desktop and connect to a Terminal Services Server which will have the SAP Client. There are many benefits to using terminal services and one of the important ones is in case the employee loses the internet connection the session on the terminal services will still be active and they could connect back and continue.

Problems access to a web application (Web Interface or Web report)

Hi,
We found problems with the access to web application. Some users have problems with direct links to the web applications(Web Interface or Web reporting), when they click on the link an error message appears, the message displays the following text:
"Cannot open file Bex?sap-language=ENbsplanguge=ENcmd=idoc_TE.."
Clicking in details the message is "No Access to specified file"
For this users the access to excel reporting is correct, the message appears when they click on the direct web links through the browser or directly in BW system, but if they type the URL they can access. Other users can use the direct web link without problems.
I highly appreciate any help or idea about how to solve this issue.
Thanks in advance.

HI,

LIST OF VALUES not Populating in BPS WEB INTERFACE ( LAYOUTS )

Hi BI Guru's
I have created a WEB interface for BPS in BI ( version 7.0) . But when i execute this in internet explorer, I do not get the LIST OF VALUES for Material.
When I click on "input help" the system open a new window for "Value selection". When I specify the material code, it gives me blank LIST OF VALUES.
But it is working for other fields like Customer, UOM in the same layout.
Please suggest some solution.
Thanks,
Nilesh Labde

hi,
Thanks for the reply.
Master data is avaliable for the Material Code. The problem is in Internet Explorer and not in SAP GUI .
If i run Planning folder for the same layou in SAP GUI it is working fine.

BPS_WB-Can i add a query to a Web interface tabpage?

Dear experts,
In a BPS web interface application, i have already a tab page which allows users to input their data. Now i would like to add a second tabpage which allows to display the existing data.
Is that possible to link a BEX query to a Tabpage BPS web interface application? I would like that the query is launched and the result is displayed each time an user click on this tabpage.
Thanks in advance.

Include your query in a web template and follow the approach given in the link http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a861d590-0201-0010-248a-fc70d8d29f26

Executing the planning function while opening the web interface

hello all,
I have created a planning area based on multiprovider.This multiprovider is based on two transactional cube ie,COPA cube and Cost Center cube.
This planning area is meant for enabling integrated planning.One plans in COPA cube and other plans in Cost Center cube the income statement gets planned based on this two.
I selected planning items in multiprovider layout to display the income statement.The layout is as follows:
PlanningItem Amount
Net Sales: 9.000,00 INR (This comes from COPA)
Sales Overheads: 200,00 INR (This comes from Cost Center)
Depreciation: 200,00 INR (This comes from Cost Center)
Other Expenses: 300,00 INR (This comes from Cost Center)
EBIT: 0,00 INR
Interest Income: 0,00 INR
Interest Expense: 0,00 INR
Operating Income: 0,00 INR
Taxes: 0,00 INR
Now EBIT planning item is to be calculated from the planning items as follows:
EBIT = Net Sales-Sales Overheads-Depriciation-Other Expenses
For this i have created a planning function which calculates EBIT.This function works properly,there are no issues in it.
My problem is that i want this function to be executed as soon as i open the web interface for my planning application and the result should be as follows:
PlanningItem Amount
Net Sales: 9.000,00 INR (This comes from COPA)
Sales Overheads: 200,00 INR (This comes from Cost Center)
Depreciation: 200,00 INR (This comes from Cost Center)
Other Expenses: 300,00 INR (This comes from Cost Center)
EBIT: 8.300,00 INR
Interest Income: 0,00 INR
Interest Expense: 0,00 INR
Operating Income: 0,00 INR
Taxes: 0,00 INR
Can anybody suggest how to go about this problem?
Thanks in advance.

Yogesh

Hi Yogesh,
as far as i know, there is no standard functionality for that purpose, but there are workaround for it.
1. Modify the BSP Application.
 Go to SE80 --> Repository Browser --> BSP Application --> your WI name --> page with flow logic --> double click on page1.htm --> Event handler tabstrip --> on the drop down selection press F1 --> add a function module that call you BPS function in specific event (e.g: OnInitialization).
2. Use WI-Exit Class / WI-Extention (ABAP OO).
Here you need to create sub class from Class: CL_UPWB_BSP_APPL, and assign the class to your WI. You can then add a function module that call you BPS function in method:
2.1. Load --> performed only once on intial execution of WI.
2.2. Initialisation --> called once for each server response.
2.3. Dispatch --> called at each action and also for each WI component.
You can see further information in SAP how to paper:
How to Validate manual input in WEB planning application, New BPS-Features delivered with SAP BW 3.5, etc.
You can call your BPS function with BPS API FM (See F.Group: UPC_API)
But there is also more easier way to realize your ebit calculation. If you define your EBIT calc. manually in layout (define with manually defined Lead column). With this way, You will always get your EBIT analog with inputed values.
Then you add your EBIT calc.function to Layout Component in WI in property: 'Function After Data Change'.

P&L report (using web interface builder)???

Hi all,
Can someone explain BPS report concept for me?
For example,
In my P&L report, I will have fixed cost, variable cost, and revenue...etc.
I created fixed cost layout, variable cost layout, and revenue layout...etc.
My question is how those layouts generate a P&L report on the web interface??? If I enter planning data in the fixed cost layout and the values should be in the P&L report as well. How can I create P&L report in the web interface after I finished all layouts???Thank you for sharing
J.

Hi
You should create a BEX Web Query and integrate it in the upper level of WEB Layout.

Hi,
+"Check the following 2 things. See if the port 8000 is open and in the url for the BSP in internet explorer, replace the host name with the IP address of your Solman server.+

That was a helpful tip. I change the host name with the ip address ofour solman server. However, upon login, it promts me to enter username and password. I've tried to login using my solman password but it shows an error like this.
Business Server Page (BSP) error
What happened?
Calling the BSP page was terminated due to an error.

How can I find out the web interface a module function is executed from?

Hello all,
I was wondering if anybody knows how would be possible de determine the web interface a function is being launched from, within the function.
I've got this function that is used for a exit variable that updates the variable value depending on another variable in a web interface. The thing is that this very same function and variable will be used in many web interfaces and the "source" variable will be different for each mask.
So, for example, mask 1 will have variable 1 as a selector variable and variable X will be updated by it. Then I also have variable 2 in mask 2 as a selector variable and variable X will be updated by it as well.
I want to develop a code, within the function module, that depending on the web interface that is calling it, it will use a source the correct variable and for this I need to know which web interface is calling the function.
I hope to have been able to explain myself clearly. It's a purely technical question.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards.

Hi Francesco,
Are you talking about that ??? )) It will explain you about to get the name of the web page when you are executing an abap function for determining the values of variables...

This is weird: I wrote that document a few weeks ago, it is theorically published on SDN but this is not possible to find it by using the research tool... Maybe because it applies only to BPS in 3.5. I did not have enough time to migrate that solution to BI-IP 7.0.

Query in BPS Web Interfaces - Open in New Window

Hello,
I am trying to insert a BW Query into a web interface but have it launch in a new window. I know how to have it open in the web interface by using a text box. In July of 05 I found an answer from Marc Bernard on a similar topic, but with a query returning variables. When I tried to use the code, I got an error. I know that I can create a URL with Target="_Blank" but I don't want to hard code the full URL of the web report because the default host and port will change with the systems. I tried the following URL in hopes that would inherit the system but it doesn't work.
http://<default_host>:<default_port>/sap/bw/BEx?cmd=ldoc&infocube=EPABUDGET&query=EPA322BR
Here is the code I have for the report. Can someone tell me how to open in a new window or how to get the URL to work?
<iframe
 id="BWReport01"
 name="BWQUERY"

Thanks,

Hi Cherie,
you are on the right track. Just use a href="/sap/bw/bex..." target="_blank". If you need the URL to be more dynamic, use javascript with window.open.

Error while trying to view web interface in browser

Hello all,
I'm getting the following error message while trying to preview my BPS web interface in the BW system as well as my web browser (IE).
Note
The termination occurred in system DBW with error code 403 and for the reason Forbidden.
The selected virtual host was 0 .
ErrorCode:ICF-NF-http-c:000-u:SAPSYS-l:E-i:kblep_DBW_00-v:0-s:403-r:Forbidden
I have created this web interface using the wizard and while checking it the BW system doesn't report any errors or warnings. The same works properly in Excel. I'll be very grateful if somebody can tell me how to sort it out. Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Sumit

Hi,
Go to the transaction "sicf" and check that the following components are active:
-default_host ->sap ->public->bsp
-default_host ->sap ->public->bsp->sap->system
-default_host ->sap ->public->bsp->sap->htmlb
-default_host ->sap ->public->bsp->sap->public->bc
-default_host ->sap ->public->bc
-default_host ->sap ->public->bc->ur
-default_host ->sap ->bc->bsp->sap->system
-default_host ->sap ->bc->bsp->sap->public->bc
(To make this easier you can select on a higher node to activate all lower nodes as well). This should resolve your error.

Error while calling RFC when using BSP Web Interface

Hi,
we have a problem with the Authorization when we use an Web Interface for BSP. We have assigned all roles to the user which were mentioned in the SAP standard documentation:
R_AREA
R_METHOD
R_PACKAGE
R_PARAM
R_PLEVEL
R_PM_NAME
R_PROFILE
R_STS_PT
R_STS_SUP
R_WEBITF
S_RS_ADMWB
S_RS_AUTH
S_RS_COMP
S_RS_COMP1
S_RS_DAS
S_RS_ICUBE
but we still get the error message: "Error while calling RFC".
When using a user with SAP_ALL, it works.
What can we do?
Thx for your time.
Joerg

Actually that's surprising - because BSP (Business Server Pages) and RFC (Remote Function Call) are not related; they use totally different transport protocols (http vs. RFC). Even if an BSP application is calling a function module remotely (acting as RFC client) no authorizations for S_RFC are required - in the calling system (but in the called system, i.e. the RFC server).
Since assigning SAP_ALL seems to "cure" the problem, it seems to be an authorization issue, indeed. In that case it makes sense to use the authorization trace (ST01 - notice: that's specific to one single ABAP application server; you might have to activate the trace on multiple instances) to find out which authorizations are checked / demanded.

Performance Problems with Web Layouts in web interface

Hello Gurus,
We have a a BPS web interface tool which has the following design:
1> A web interface with several tabs
2> Each tab has around 3-4 input layouts which are dependent on each other
3> In all there are 120-140 layouts that the tool uses...
My questions were in term of performance
1> Is there a limit to how many web layouts you can use per page/tab/view or if SAP recommends specific number of web layouts per page/tab/view ?
2> If there is a limitation...our intention was to convert all the display layouts into BW reports so as to increase the performance of the tool....
3> Would like to know the restriction on the number of users who can log into the tool as a specific point of time ? We may have 50-60 minimum using this tool.
I would appreciate your help in this regard.
Thanks in advance

Abap code in HTML Tag in Web Interface

Hello,
in a text tag im my web interface for a BPS a added the sap example code "How to Integrate BEx Web Applications into BPS Web Interfaces".
Now I want to open a web template with a query containing the user and the date as filter object. this filter i want to fill already while creating the url.
I inserted a command like <%sy-uname%> but it doesn't get the users name. Do I miss a command to make abap available in this context, or do i have to use javascript. -> can someone give me a tip where i can find the javascript functions ?
I add the coding below.

Hi,
There's a disjoin here when we write the java script it's run at the front end and cannot read any standard SAP variables(unless you code for some kind of rfc call not sure). It can only read what's displayed on the web page. If you can somehow display the user id on the web page you will be able to read it back in the script. Regarding date that's a standard functionality in script
please refer

hope this was helpful.
thanks

Web interface displays via Portal using Mozilla or Firefox

We have several web interfaces (BW-BPS) and have created iViews on our Portal (EPP 6.0). These iViews properly execute in IE 6.0.
However, when we execute the BPS iViews using Mozilla or Firefox we see significant display discrepancies. For example, the web interface should display grid lines between the rows, but, we don't see them when running through the Portal using Mozilla or Firefox.
We thought that the Web interfaces themselves may be the issue but they properly execute when run straight from BW in Mozilla 1.7.13.
Can anyone help with this problem? Thanks,
Bill

Hello Bill,
first of all please check the Product Availability Matrix. Not all browser versions are supported. http://service.sap.com/pam
Some visual differences between the browsers can not be avoided since browsers just behave differently.
If the browser is supported and it does not work correctly, please open a customer message.

How to display web interface in full screen mode

Hi,
I would like to view my web interface in full screen mode in internet explorer. Is there anyway we can switch off the toolbars and URL automatically while calling the web interface
Thanks
SR

Hello SR,
I don't think it is possible to do this directly in the web interface. Otherwise many websites would change your browser settings.
It's possible to set the window properties, when the window is opened from JavaScript for example. So you could create a dummy start page and add some JavaScript to open a window for the web interface with the settings you require. Here's a good page that explains it:
