SEM 4.0 - BPS Planning Function - Currency Translation (Account Based) !

Hi,
Currently we are migrating from SEM 3.1 to SEM 4.0 and we are using Currency Translation (Account Based)and would like to use the same functionality, but for some reason the CT functionality is not working properly. It is throwing garbage numbers in SEM 4.0.
Is anyone out there facing similar problem on the Currency Translation (Account Based) functionality on SEM 4.0. Appreciate your help.
Thx,
Jay

Hi,
We are working on Integrated Planning(IP). We are currently using a key figure based model, where in we have 0amount, 0amocac and 0amoccc for transactional currency, controllling area currency and object currency amounts.
If we go with account based model for keyfigures, i.e by taking currency type as 00, 20, 10 , we have a problem with the currency translation functions.
Could you please let us know, how we can handle currency translation with the account based model?
Thanks,
Srini.

SEM BPS - Planning function to distribute total value over months

Hello,
We use SEM BPS. In fact we use the integration of SEM BPS in the CRM opportunity component as opportunity planning.
Now we want to distribute the total value of certain key figures over the months. Either equal distribution or increasing distribution like 1% increase every month. What would be the best way to do that with a planning function?
We need to take into account that the number of months depends on the start and end date of the transaction (opportunity).
Best regards,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
I would probably create a fox formula, do a foreach in selection loop over the months and distribute the values within that formula.
If you want to use a standard distribution function, you need to create the reference data somewhere before, which could be a bit difficult if the timeframe changes according to user selections.

BI Planning modeler - Currency translation type not available

Hi there,
I have a problem with the BI Planning modeler and the standard currency translation formula.
I want to use a currency type from TCURR the the type is EURZ. This type is not available, how do I get it in the Currency translation type ???
Thx in advance
Carsten

Hi,
You can also check your currency exchange rates in the following way,
Go to transaction SPRO -> SAP reference IMG -> SAP Netweaver -> General Settings -> Currencies -> Enter Exchange Rates
One more thing you need to make sure is to use a currency in Currency translation planning function, you have to have a exchange rate created in transaction RSCUR for the conversion that you are performing.
For example, if you want to convert 'USD' to 'EUR' you have to have an exchange that defines this conversion appropriately.
For this you can refer to the link mentioned by Deepti above.

BPS Planning Function Performance

Dear all,
In our projects we've faced the following problem.
We have BPS user-exit planning function. This function should process a large amount of data. And, of course, performance of this processing is very critical!
To increase performance we divided whole data amount into subsets and launch mentioned PF for each subset in background within separated thread ([http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/c4/3a7f1f505211d189550000e829fbbd/frameset.htm], [http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/fa/096e92543b11d1898e0000e8322d00/frameset.htm])
But now the problem:
Processing time for first thread is more, than 15 minutes of 35.000 records.
For second one - 5 sec(!!!) for 25.000
Third thread - 4 sec for 20.000
and so on...
In some threads calculation time also increases to 10-15 minutes for one thread. Statistic of calculation is below

What is a reason of such behaviour of PF?
Where is a bottleneck and how to eliminate influence of bottleneck on execution time of whole data amount?
Your advices

Hello Dmitry,
take a look at the runtime statistics in transaction BPS_STAT0 (You might have to turn them on and re-run your process). This will show you where the time is spend (database or BPS).
If it's database time, then get your Basis Team involved. Check that DB stats are up-to-date, check that InfoCube requests are rolled-up/compressed, do SQL trace and analyze the DB execution plan, etc.
If it's BPS time, then it's probably something in your exit function. An ABAP trace (SE30) should help to nail down the root cause.
Processing packages is parallel is in general a good way to make it run faster. However, if the packages are too small the overhead will actually reduce performance. I would start with 5 parallel processes.

Breakpoint in CRM to jump to BW-BPS plan function code?

I have a BW-BPS planning exit function that runs on the Costs Tab of marketing planner.
Does anyone know where in CRM to set the breakpoint to let me jump across instances to the breakpoint in the planning function?

Hi AStine,
Given the situation that one does not know the CRM codings where the RFC is placed, you may always set a breakpoint on RFC, this will enable the debugger to be stopped at every remote function calls during the execution:
/h
Breakpoint at->statement->
fill 'rfc' in the popup text box
Then maybe after several debugger stop, you will be able to find the one you want.
Then use F5 button to step into remote system, please ensure that the remote communication user is set as dialog user.

Execute BPS planning function on opening of web planning layout

Hi all,
Does anyone know how to execute a planning function automatically at the moment of opening a web planning layout in a BPS web planning folder(tx code BPS_WB/BPS_WIF0)?
This was possible in the old BPS planning folder, but does not seem possible in the web planning folders?
Thanks,
Rael

Hello Rael,
Basically you have 2 options:
- Use the same trick as in the how to paper "How to call a BPS Web Interface with predefined variable values" (see service market place, alias BW, then BI Planning). In the BSP page you do not set a variable value but use the BPS API to execute a planning function (just call the function module API_SEMBPS_FUNCTION_EXECUTE). When using the url parameters in a similar way as in the how to paper you can call different function modules for different web applications.
- You can use the application class in the web interface builder and call the function in the "on load" method. There is a how to paper describing how such a application class can be used (Validate key figure values in manual planning - web). Note that there another event is used and thus a check AFTER input is done.
Well - the second option might be a little more elegant but I think the first one is definitely less complicated and less work...

Integrated Planning vs BPS - Planning Function and filters

Hi,
I'm trying to create a planning function previously defined in a BPS system into a new system with Integrated Planning. Some considerations:
BPS:
- I define first a planning level on a planning area. In this level I set some selection values.
- Then I define a planning package that can contain other further filter values
- Then I create my planning function
- Then I create a parameter group that contain parameter values the function will use.
Integrated Planning:
- I can create a planning level and, separately, I can define more than one group of filters;
- Then, I can create a planning function, where I can set some fixed values in the "field used for condition" tab. These values are common for every user that launch the function.
So, from my point of view, it seems that:
BPS: I have 3 points where I can set filter parameters (level, package and parameter group), and I can launch for example the same function selecting different packages or different parameter groups;
IP: I have only one point where I can set filter parameters (Filter, defined on level)
Is all right? In this case, I don't exactly know how to migrate the same function defined in BPS in the Integrated Planning environment.
Any ideas?
Thanks for the support!
Gianluca

Hello Gianluca,
BPS: I have 3 points where I can set filter parameters (level, package and parameter group), and I can launch for example the same function selecting different packages or different parameter groups;
IP: I have only one point where I can set filter parameters (Filter, defined on level)
In IP you have 2 places, Filter and the function itself. In the function you will get characters for conditions where you can again filter. Migration is simple.
And in BPS? If I define a planning package with a filter (example: Country = Italy) and I select this filter during the launch of the function, do I see records with country = Italy in my reference data?
I guess you are mentioning package as filter. If yes then yes you will only get Italy data in your reference.
The parameter group restrictions in BPS are done in planning function itself in IP. But one difference is in BPS it allowed multiple parameter groups.
And I think even in BPS FOX brought reference data that were subsets of restrictions made in packages and planning level. I dont think in BPS also we were able to read reference data out of the planning level and package.

Undo BPS planning function

Hello
When running a planning layout in the GUI, it is possible to go the edit menu and undo the planning function. When I create a function, I do not see 'Undo' as a standard function. Is it possible to undo a planning function on the web ?
Thanks

Hello,
if I understood your question alright you want to execute the undo function in the web interface without "click".
Did you try to "Generate class" (attribute of Webinterface)? In the class (name also in the attribute) you can find the functions name and in the "on input processing" you will find:
" when 'UndoButton1'. " -
UndoButton1->submit( ).
So the execution is to add or assign this line to the event you want

BPS Planning Function

Hi All,
I've implemented couple of Planning functions in the Planning Package but for some reason they are not showing up in the layout.
Am I missing any settings or something???
Did anyone faced a similar issue before.
Thanks
Vani.

Where are you trying to see the functions, in planning folder or in web interface?

Currency translation key based on posting period 0fiscper3

Hi Folks,
The requirement is to perform currency translation in query based on the end of period.The query uses the time characteristics as fiscal year (0FISCYEAR) and posting period (0FISCPER3).
    I have maintained the currency translation key using RRC1 with variable time ref as 0FISCPOER3 .On executing the query I am getting error that 'No Exchange rate maintained ' .But the exchange rates are maintained in the system.
   SAP Help states that the variable time reference has to be a standard InfoObject as 0FISCPER or 0FISCYEAR   or customer defined Infobject with type date.
0FISCPER3 is of type NUMC .
   Is this the reason that I am not getting the currency translation ?? or I am missing out in some settings.
Please advise .Due points will be granted .
Thx,
Gautam

Hi Gautam,
0FISCPER3 just stores the period values as 001, 002, 003 etc, with no reference to the year (and hence no reference to a fixed point in time). Try create the RRC1 key using 0FISCPER and use this in your query.
Hope this helps...

Variables in BPS planning function

Hi all;
I dont if this is possible but Im trying to do the following formula:
DATA OV TYPE 0SALESORG.
DATA CD TYPE 0DISTR_CHAN.
OV = VARV ('ZORGVE').
CD = VARV ('ZCANDI').
FOREACH OV, CD.
{ZOV_QTD,CD,OV,L,V_PL_EST,020,ZMERCOVCD,ZPAOV03} =
{ZOV_PERC,CD,OV,#,VTP,010,ZMERCOVCD,ZPAOV03} *
{ZOV_QTD,#,#,L,V_PL_EST,020,ZMERCADOSF,ZPAOV03}.
ENDFOR.
In the level there arent any restrictions to the variables assign to OV and CD.
If I restrict the variables to only one value the formula runs, but if I inserted 2 values or an interval a message appears telling there isnt possible because the variables arent restricted to one value (notice that the values of this characteristics are blank in the condition ZMERCADOSF).
My question is: Are any way to run this formula with 2 or more values assign to the variable OV?
Thanks in advance.
Ricardo

Hi Mayank;
The formula works for all the OVs.
The error no longer appears but it didnt respect the values assign to the OV (runs for all OVs)
This is what I use:
DATA OV TYPE 0SALESORG.
DATA CD TYPE 0DISTR_CHAN.
DATA N TYPE I.
DATA I TYPE I.
N = VARC(ZORGVEND).
I = 1.
DO N TIMES.
OV = VARI(ZORGVEND, I).
I = I + 1.
ENDDO.
Im not sure N and I are declared correctly. Are they Type I?

Currency Translation Using 'Time Reference'

Hey Experts,
Quick question.
Has anybody had experience performing the planning function 'Currency Translation' BUT using the 'Time Reference' field.
My goal is to have it translate the currency based on Fiscal year/period, using the fiscal 'year/period END' to determine the translation date.
However in the paremeter group for currency translation, when I click on the 'Time reference' Drop-down button to select, it's blank, and give me no choices to pick anything. Have I missed something here? Are there any other prior steps I've ignored?
I already have the fiscal year/period characteristic defined on my level.. and I've defined my 'Targ.Curr' as USD.
I can't find much documantation except for the basic help button, but that doesn't really say much.
Any advice..?
Thank All.

Hi,
If I understand you correctly, am I then to assume using the Fiscal year/Period '0FISCPER' will not work. The F1 help say it should.
And are you saying if I use Fiscal year '0FISCYEAR' and/or Posting Period '0FISCPER3' instead, it should work by giving me the option of choosing the start or end of these two fields when I click on the drop-down of the Time Reference??
The way I have this defined is as follows.
At the level I have both:
Fiscal year/Period '0FISCPER' -> 001/2006 to 012/2007.
Fiscal year '0FISCYEAR' -> 2006 to 2007.
In my Paramter Group I have the following definition:
Target Key Figure: Value in Object currency
Source Key Figure: Value in CO Currency
Exch.Rate: 001P
Char.Target.Crcy: Currency
Curr,Date: Is currenctly Flagged, but will remove it once I have the Time Reference field working.
At the Planning area, I have a characteristic relationship defined as a derivation using 'Type' reference data, whereby the Fiscal year (0FISCYEAR) is referenced from the Fiscal year/Period (0FISCPER), and the Posting period (0FISCPER3) also references the Fiscal year/Period (0FISCPER) that are currently stored in my transactional cube.
Based on the above, I still don't get anything to choose from when I click on the drop-down for the 'Time Reference' field in the currency translation.
If you could perhaps do some screen dumps of the level you defined, characteristic relationship, as well as how u defined the parameter group, that may help.
You can attach email it to '[email protected]'.
Sorry for the confusion, but I think I'm missing something obvious and simple here..!!
Thanks

SEM Planning functions (Already checked the BPS Forum)

We installed BW 3.5 which I now see the BW-BPS planning functions.
Then we installed SEM 4.0 and I see another BPS menu item.
Does the BPS0 transaction now contain all the SEM planning functions or just those limited to BW-BPS.
Will reward points as always!
Richard

You would be able to see the additional Planning Functions one you are using the Planning Workbench(BPS0).
When using the Planning functionality in this transaction, you would be able to use the additional Planning functions that come as part of SEM.

Regarding planning function & data entry in SEM BPS ..

Dear All,
Basically i'm new in BPS & planning function .. :).
But ..
Do you know whether there is program that's enable to input data within BPS and planning function ???
Or ..
Could we create customized program to input data for its ??
Could you tell me how to make it ?
Thanks in advance
Best regards,
Niel.

Hi,
We have manual layouts to input data in bps. planning functions are used to modify or calculate results from the entered or already available data in the cube.

BPS planning folder; Scroll to top after execution of planning function

Hi All,
After execution of a planning function, or after saving data in a planning folder, the layout jumps back to the top and displays the first row, even if the user was positioned on another row.
I know BPS does this because it recalculates the data and tries to display it.
However, it is not very user friendly.
Did anyone ever solve this ?
How do you remain positionned on the line you are working on after saving or execution a BPS planning function?
Thanks in advance for your answer,
Points will be rewarded to solutions.
Filip Ledoux


Hi 
There are some APIs which BPS uses internally to save data. You can make a Planning Function of Type EXIT using function moule of your own calling API_SEMBPS_POST (to save data). 
You can call this EXIT Function as a step next to your copy function in your Global Planning Sequence. 
Please refer to Note 422998 - SEM-BPS processing large data volumes if you need further details for implementing this solution.
 
Hope it helps.
