  • SAP BW-BPS (Business Planning and Simulation)

    Hi All,
    Can anybody tell me, what will be the impact on SAP BW-BPS (Business Planning and Simulation) after upgradation fron SAP BW 3.5 to SAP BI 7.0.
    or what all care need to be taken before upgradation?
    Regards,
    Prateek

    Please allow me this opportunity to point out that "upgradation" and "updation" are not real words. The correct terms are "upgrade" and "update".
    Seems trivial, but I've seen them make their way into names of workflow steps and class methods.
    Yes, English is not logical!
    creation - yes
    deletion - yes
    updation - no   It's update.

  • Hyperion Planning vs SAP BW-BPS

    Does anyone have any thoughts on the major Pro's/Con's of Hyperion Planning vs. SAP BW-BPS? Specifically, performance and usability (e.g. user friendly interface) of BPS.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards
    Charlotte

    Hi Charlotte,
    I think Performance of BW-BPS is based on many criteria where even BW design also matters, some of those areas like.
    1. Good Planned Design, Understand the Flow from Actual to Plan and Data required for Planning.
    2. Try to minimize number of USER EXIT
    3. Good ABAPer Can write better USER EXIT than Entry level so tuned EXIT Program will also improve performance.
    4. Follow the correct sequence of Planning
    There is GO LIVE Check documents for BW-BPS which will also mention check point for BW -BPS Performance . Follow those it's very helpful.
    Hope it helps,
    San.

    HI Sunil,
    BPS is business planning simulation and this is new functionality which is available since SAP BW 7.0 (which is now called SAP BI business inteliigence then SAP BW).
    Earlier BPS used to be aprt of SEM and now it is also part of BI.
    This is used for doing key figure planning and budgeting / costing for the various marketing campigns that take place in a company.
    CRM and BI BPS give thecustomer a very good advantage in planning his campaigns sucesfully.
    Thanks

  • SAP BW-BPS Company Code Security

    Hello Everyone,
    In BPS have an issue where the security team has to give users wide open access for company code, for loads to work. When the user is restricted to there 1 specific company code, get authorization issues. Is wide open access required, with BPS restrictions on the company code variable to limit users?
    Any help is appreciated.
    thank you,
    Mike B

    Hi
    If the user should be authorized for 1 company code than the access has been restricted for that company code only. Please check the value maintained for the characteristic of "Company code" and check whether teh comapny code value is maintained or not. You may want to run a trace through transaction ST01 or RSECADMIN to check for teh Authorization checks where the user is failing on.
    Thanks.

  • Tranports in SAP BW-BPS

    Hi,
    iam new to BPS.
    How to do transports in BSAP BW-BPS.

    Hi,
    Transports in BPS can be done in two different ways
    1. when you want to transport the whole area and respective leaf nodes like planning planning level, plng function etc in one go
    Use Tools -> Transports
    2. If you want to transport individual objects then use the report program
    se38->UPC_TRANSPORT_BPS_ALL and select the individual objects
    Note : Before transporting the BPS objects make sure your underlying info-cubes, info-objects , Function grp, function modules are present in target system
    Thanks

  • BPS User Exit Variable based on Planning Package Selection

    Hi,
    I'm implementing a SAP BW-BPS planning layout to be integrated into the CRM we user interface.
    Most of the characteristic selections come from the CRM fields that need to be filled by the user when creates a trade promotion.
    The charcteristic selections work (as standard) just if in the planning level I flag "Selection in Package", then in package these selections are dinamically defined from what the user select in the CRM fields at runtime.
    My problem is that I have to build a BPS User Exit variable to filter, in the planning level, the proper Planning Area based on the CRM Sales Organization value.
    The characteristic CRM Sales Organization belongs to whose chararcteristic the value is determined dinamically in the planning package.
    Is it possible for a BPS user exit variable, set in the planning level, to catch the value of a characteristic selection made at planning package?
    Many thanks for your help.
    Alessandro

    Hi Indu,
    Many thanks for your answer.
    I have already took a look at the document posted by you but I didn't find the solution to my problem.
    This because i have to create a user exit variable that need to get the value of the characteristic selection in package.
    I mean in the planning level I will have the user exit variable that restrict the planning area and, his function module, need to read, at runtime, what is the value of the characteristic CRM Sales Organization restricted in package by CRM.
    So I don't have any idea to which BPS internal table I have referred to in my funcion module to catch the value of the CRM Sales Organization dinamically filtered by CRM.
    Many thanks,
    Alessandro

  • Program to populate variable values in BPS thru file

    Hi All,
    I've layouts in BPS. In my layout my super user has to change Version/ Actual period/forecast period/previous version everymonth. For all the above we are using varibles.

Version is coming from a variable based on 0version and Actual period/forecast period values are based on variable of 0fiscper.
    If anyone has already encountered with such situation pls help me.
    Your help will be highly appreciated.

  • BPS Performance when reading a hierarchy

    Hi,
    We have created planning levels with a selection on a cost center hierarchy node (included in a variable). Under this level, planning layouts use the characteristic cost center as a lead column.
    When we execute one of these layouts (in the Gui with an Excel interface or an ALV interface) the layouts takes at least 3 minutes to open even if it only includes about 1000 records.
    Is there any way to improve this performance ?
    If we create an exit variable which reads the hierarchy and list the cost centers, the performance is not improved.
    The cost center hierarchy read is about 15,000 cost centers in total, but only a few hundreds are included in the nodes we select.
    Thanks for any help.

    Hello David,
    BPS has to resolve the hierarchy nodes into single values. For big hierarchies this can take quite a while (especially if the base characteristic is compounded as in this case).
    Try to build an alternative hierarchy that contains only the nodes you need in BPS.
    Also - as in any case - do a performance analysis. Where are the 3 minutes really being spent? BW data selection, BPS layout, variables, etc. Please check the BPS Performance Guide for mode information. SAP Service Marketplace > Quicklink BW > SAP BW BPS > Performance.

  • Need BPS advice

    Hi all there,
    Im totally new to SAP BW and BPS and my employer gave me job to draft a CRM-BW based system for our internal CRM.
    Tasks are:
    1) for a business opportunity defined in CRM attach a  business plan (something like cash flow for that project). Do some basic analyses against time (overal project cost in a month etc..)
    2) In ideal case system automatically divide the business plan into milestones (billing dates) depending on defined project phases.
    3) maybe will be requested basic business simulation
    I've been thinking about using SAP BW BPS feature to accomplish this throught customization CRM modul.Are there any other ways how to solve this? (SAP-SEM or anything else?)
    Thank you for your help (and sorry for my poor english).

    if it involves only analysis then BW should be enough.
    if it involves data getting updated in BW using an interface. you need to change the data regularly then BW-BPS should be a good idea.
    i am not sure sem would help you. sem typically has BCS (business consolidation) and CPM (corporate performance monitor) and SRM (Stakeholder relationship management)

  • New version of BPS

    Hello there.
    Unfortunately I have not been working with BPS for a while now and am training back up on it.
    Can anyone tell me if powersim is still being used in the latest versions of BPS.
    Also, how can I tell what version of BPS I am working on?
    Is it the same as the SEM-BW installation version?
    Thanks
    Paul.

    Hi Paul,
    you can find release information on the SAP Service Marketplace http://service.sap.com/bi > SAP BW-BPS.
    In all releases, you can use Powersim (not sure if all Powersim version will work, check with the vendor).
