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.

SEM-BPS Planning Reports

Hi Friends,
I would like to produce
1. Rolling Forcast,
2. Buget,
2. 10 Year plan ,Quaterly Annual basis
with multiple views,
By Product (Revenue, margin,direct cost)
By Customer(Revenue,Margin,Direct Cost).
I presume i will be producing these reports by SEM-BPS, but in dilemma whether it will be BW-BPS, and also to work on SEM-BPS do we have to have BI 7.x?
I would be very grateful if anyone can guide me in best possible way.
Many Thanks
Imran

Hi Bhanu,
Thanks for your help,
1. Which version these reports should be developed in Query designer , It can suppurt only 7.x?
2. Once i create a report in Query designer how can i assign it to the BPS Layout.
Thanks in advance for your help
Best Wishes

CHAR RELATIONSHIP error in SEM BPS planning sequence

Hi,
I'm executing a planning sequence with 2 planning functions.
1st being "Exit funciton" & 2nd being "Repost funciton".
I've a "characteristic relationship of type attribute" defined at the planning area level.
Am getting CHAR RELATIONSHIP check error when am executing this sequence.
EXIT function gives blank values for a characteristic that is used in "characteristic relationship".
But, REPOST function adjusts this blank characteristic value to actual value which will be correct when "CHARACTERISTIC RELATIONSHIP" is checked.
When I execute sequence, EXIT function gets executed & CHAR RELATIONSHIP errors are being displayed before "REPOST" function is being executed.
Is there any other approach to deal this scenario? like checking CHAR RELATIONSHIP after REPOST funciton execution?
I can execute REPOST funciton from "EXIT FUNCTION" using API_SEMBPS_FUNCTION_EXECUTE, but this doesn't suit my needs.
Please note that I've a need to use 2nd planning function rather deriving characteristic relationship from the EXIT function.
Appreciate any ideas/thoughts.

Hari,
each function must produce results that adhere to the rules specified as characteristic relationships. BPS will always execute the char.relationships after the exit function. You might be able to avoid this by adjusting the characteristics in your planning level.
Calling another function (like REPOST) from within an exit is not possible since BPS needs to finish processing the exit first, before it can run the repost.

Transport of BPS planning area (variables) without transp. all pl. levels

Hi!
Can anybody advice me, how to transport new variables which I have created to a planning area, without transporting all planning levels which belong to it?
I transported a few planning levels that include the new variables I created to the planning area. As a result, the planning levels are transported but the new variables are missing. I don´t want to transport the whole planning area, since it contains a development which is not ready yet. Can I transport the missing variables with SE15 (how?) or is there some other way to do it?
Grateful for any help,
Sari

Sari,
Please execute program UPC_TRANSPORT_BPS_ALL and transport your variables without transporting any level or area.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

Re activate/ Re generate the BPS Planning area

Hi Friends,
It looks like there is some inconsistency in of planning area. Does anybody know how to reactivate or regenrate the planning area using any SAP Provided Function modules or standard programs. Please share your ideas on this.
Thanks
Best regards
SG

Hi,
when you call transaction BPS0 the system should detect inconsistencies and regenerate automatically.
There is no official API to regenerate the planning area. When for whatever reason the regenerate mechanism in BPS0
does not work, maybe this is worth an OSS message. You may also try function module UPC_GENERATE_AREA. Run this function module in SE37, in only input parameter is the planning area. But you should know what you are doing.

SEM-BPS 6.0 error message requested data cannot be locked but at 999 row?

Hi all,
We are using SEM-BPS with WIB and EP 7.0 and I encountered issues for the first time. I normally avoid configuring layouts with large hierarchies but at this one the client insisted. They are in testing right now and selection of relatively small node (approx. 10-20 cost centers) still gave us an error message.
I know layouts has a limit of 9,999 rows and we should have been okay since it is about 200-300 lines per cost center but we are getting the error message below and it mentioned a limit of 999 rows in the selection table.. Any way we can change that?
Thanks,
mary
Requested data cannot be locked (-> see long text)
Notification Number RSPLS092
Diagnosis
In order to edit data from InfoProvider 'ZYEE_C02', the requested data has to be locked exclusively for user 'YEESU01'. The data that is currently being requested is specified by a very large selection table. In order to lock the data exclusively, the system has to store a compressed version of this selection table on the SAP standard lock server. However, the compressed selection table still has more than 999 rows. So that a reasonable number of users are able to change data at the same time, the system limits the number of records allowed in a selection table to 999 records.
Information on Context of Lock Request:
Lock requests can come from BI-Planning or from BW-BPS. The context specifies the following information:
BI-Planning: for a lock request from a query, {Planning Function} for a lock request from a planning function.
BW-BPS: {Planning Area}{Planning Level}{Planning Package}{Planning Function}{Parameter Group}. For lock requests from manual planning the following is true: Planning function = '0-MP' and the parameter group is the technical name of the planning layout.
InfoProvider 'ZYEE_C02' is always a Basis InfoProvider. The current context information is:
'{0-ADHOC}{0-MP}'
System Response
The requested data cannot be locked.
Procedure
You can normally only avoid this by simplifying your selections. For more information, see the documentation on this.
Procedure for System Administration

Hi Mary,
in RSPLSE you use the option that the BI lock table is maintained in the SAP enqueue server. Here there is a limit - as explained in the long text of the message - that the compressed selection table for one enqueue request should not have more than 999 rows. This limit can not be changed.
The selection table seems to be very big, since the compression factor is at least 5. So please check your selection table:
1 check whether you can make the characteristic causing the problem not lock relevant
2 or use the second option that the BI lock table is maintained in a shared memory area of the central instance of the system.
But it is better to keep the selection tables small, e.g. by making some characteristics not lock relevant.
Check sizing note 928044, e.g. in case you want to use 2. The default setting is very small.
Regards,
Gregor

SEM-BPS functionality

Hi to everybody.
I'm searching for a particular functionality of SEM-BPS but I don't know if it exists or if I have to develop it custom(for ex:with ABAP).
Here, the issue: I have a product-hierarchy, the last two bottom-level of which are PRODUCT and (under) SKU (PRODUCT is parent of SKU).
I want to spread (I mean "distribute") values of particular PRODUCTS down to the respective SKUs following the hierarchy definition. An example: the value of PRODUCT P10 down to SKU 19, SKU 20 and SKU 21, the value of PRODUCT P11 down to SKU 22, SKU 23, SKU 24 and so on.
I have tried to use ALLOCATION function and it works perfectly but there are too much parameters to define (sender, receiver, distributor and so on) and it isn't related to the pre-defined hierarchy (I mean, there is no possibility to define a hierarchical reference).
This problem is born because of the large amount of PRODUCTS and SKUs (it's an hard work defining every single parameter...).
So I'm searching to a function that permits to refer to the product-hierarchy and execute the spread.
Any advice?
Thanx a lot.
Luca.

Hi Luca,
I am afraid I may not be able to help you with your query! But if you dont mind can I ask for your help. I am new to SEM-BPS. I have done certification in SEM but you know how its like. The pace of the academy is so fast and furious that it is impossible to retain most of the stuff after the academy. Now I am working on an SEM-BPS project. The company wants me to show to them what BPS can offer them. They are currently using their own bespoked planning software but are not very happy. I need to show to them the functionalities of SEM-BPS. Are their standard examples on heirarchies in BPS? Or is their something u can send me to get started with using heirarchies in BPS so that I can map their organistion structure to BPS planning layout and then can proceed from there? And last but not the least can you advise me on the structure of info cube? What things do i need to take in to consideration before I can design my info cube? Thanks a lot.

SEM-BPS code

Dear Friends,
Req: Varaible gets current or entered month value and the value of variable will be summed up till 012th month. It should not go > 12. Eg: Assum the entered value = 007 and the calculation goes 008, 009, 010, 011 & 012.
In order to fullfill the customer req. Iwe need to apply the below logic. We have done this code in SEM-BPS planning function.
DATA PER TYPE 0FISCPER3.
DATA FPER TYPE 0FISCPER3.
PER = VARV (YFROMPER).
DO.
FPER = PER + 001.
if PER > 001 AND PER <= 12.
YDPT_PRKG, PER} = {YDPT_PRKG, FPER}.
Else.
Exit.
Endif.
ENDDO.
But, this above code is not work as expected and it's executing infinite...Please look into the code and correct me if any syntex or logic issue.
Thanks in Advance for kind support.
Best Regards,
KS

Hey KS,
I'm assuming you've solved this already but if not . . .
Looking at the code below, you see to only hit the ELSE condition and hence exit if PER is not between 1 - 12. Yet you only increment FPER so PER never changes and this loop will run forever.
Might also want to increment the total:
{YDPT_PRKG, PER} = {YDPT_PRKG, PER} + {YDPT_PRKG, FPER}.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Dan

Function types for Balance Sheet Planning missing in SEM-BPS 6.0

Hi BPS experts,
After upgrading our BI-system from SEM 4.0 to SEM 6.0 (level 10) as part of the upgrade from BW 3.5 to BI 7.0 (level 15), the BPS function types for balance sheet planning are not available in the planning environment (Transaction code BPS0).
According to the SAP Library the balance sheet planning functions in SEM-BPS comprises of 6 standard function types - one of them is "Depreciation":
<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sem60/helpdata/en/0a/242537cedf2056e10000009b38f936/frameset.htm">help.sap.com -> Business Planning and Simulation (BW-BPS)</a>
Menu path: Business Planning Functions -> Functions for Balance Sheet Planning
In our existing SEM 4.0 we are using "Depreciation" and the functions based on this function type are of course short dumping when executed in our upgraded system (SEM 6.0) as the function type does not exist here.
Odd though - we do have the function type "Allocation" available in SEM 6.0, which should be delivered with SEM together with the Balance Sheet Planning function types (It is listed directly under "Business Planning Functions" in the SAP Library) .
I have tried to figure out whether we missed out on activating something during or after the system installation, but our basis consultant has not found anything in the installation guides related to this issue. Also I was wondering whether it could be a simple matter of activating some Business Content but without any luck.
Does anybody know why the Balance Sheet Function Types are not available in SEM-BPS 6.0?
Kind regards,
Lars

BI Integerated planning and SEM-BPS ???

Hi all ,
I am new to SEM.
Could you tell me
1) if there's any difference between Bi integeraed planning and SEM-BPS ?
2) if so, what are those differences ? & which one is better suited to planning needs ?.
3) also can we use planning areas developed in bw-bps ???
Friends if you have any documentation for the practical part of SEM-bps
could you please send it to [email protected]
thanks in advance
Nidhi Dashora

Hello together,
BI-IP is under contruction and wil be replaced later instead of BW-BPS. For the mean time BW-BPS will exist parallel.
Further details see here: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b87271fb-0701-0010-00bd-b03502b8c011
This is the theorie. In the praxis there are big differences and BI-IP is in a "very eraly stage", you should have at least SP 10, better wait for 12 to able to have at least the most important functionalities in BI-IP.
e. g. you can not plan on hierarchy nodes (e. g. you dont have standard distribute function to distribute from # in a query). This is available from SP12. And so on....

Data in aggregates not updated after planning in SEM-BPS cubes

We are running BW 3.0B SP27 with SEM-BPS. Our database is DB/2. When users modify plan data on planning layouts, the data in the cube and the aggregates can become inconsistent.
For example, when a user runs a report that uses an aggregate, they get one number, but when they add a drilldown that causes the report to bypass the aggregate and hit the cube directly, the number will be different. The only way to fix this is to deactivate and then reactivate the aggregate that has stale data.
We've tried opening an OSS message, but that hasn't been helpful, since we aren't able to reliably reproduce the problem. Sometimes the aggregates are fine, other times the data will be stale.
We roll up aggregates in the SEM cubes at the end of each business day. We include a request ID filter for "most current data" (0S_RQMRC) in all our SEM queries, so the queries should be bringing in data from the latest open request in addition to the data in the relevant aggregate.
What causes this, and how can we fix it without manually reactivating aggregates?
Thanks,
Jason

is the request still open. close the request and then probably the aggregates will start..

Integrated planning Content and SEM-BPS Content

Hi Experts
Is there any integrated planning Business Content for CRM? Where do I find it?
SEM-BPS has Business Content planning scenarios for CRM. Is this BC also available in BW-BPS now? Where do I find it?
We use NW04s BI and CRM 5.0.
Kind regards
Erik

Hello Erik,
as of now I have not heard of such content.
Also SAP is not talking about CRM-content for BIIP yet. What we have learned is that a lot effort is put into making the system stable and going for "additional" functionalities like BC later.
What you could do is use BW-Business Content for CRM as far as possible (InfoCubes etc. ) and build the Aggregation Levels, Queries & Templates by yourself.
Hope this helps
Daniel

Changes are not reflected into SEM-BPS 1 layout.

Hi,
1st, I've included code in SAPAfterDataPut that copies data from SEM-BPS 1 into New Sheet.
Now, I've inserted a method in the sheet module of New Sheet. This method takes care of reflecting changes from New Sheet into SEM-BPS 1 layout. but, finally am not getting changes back to SEM-BPS 1 sheet.
I've tested this in excel (outside of BPS) and it works fine.
in BPS, I went into VB debugging mode (after inserting a break point) and I can see that change that has been made in New Sheet was reflected back to SEM-BPS 1. But, when i test the same out of debugging mode, am not getting the same result.
Looks like,after changes in New Sheet, SAPAfterDataPut is again being executed and is overwriting the changes that I made in new sheet.
Do i need to inlclude code only in SAPBeforeDataPut to reflect changes from new Sheet into SEM-BPS 1?
In excel (outside of BPS), this method works in such a way that, as soon as i make changes in Sheet2 will get reflected into Sheet1 without runnning any macro.
but, with same code, this doesn't work in BPS. (instead of reflecting changes to SEM-BPS 1, changed value in New Sheet is reverted back to original value that is same as the value in SEM-BPS 1)
Appreciate any ideas/thoughts on this.

Hi,
Usually you work with a second sheet in the following way: write a macro that copies the data from the SEM-BPS 1 sheet to the new sheet. In order to run that macro include it into the macro "SAPAfterDataPut" and set the flag in the check box of in the popup of the third screen of the layout builder. The system will call the macro after the data has been written to the sheet SEM-BPS 1.
There is a second predefined macro that the system will executed provided that the flag is set on the popup in the layout builder. This macro is called "SAPBeforeDataGet". It is called before the BPS reads data from the SEM-BPS 1 and should be used for transferring the data back to the first screen (similar to the coding you have done in SAPAfterDataPut). Using this macro should solve your problem.
I did not understand how the changes are transferred from the new sheet in your (stand alone) case. Unfortunately it sometimes does make a difference if you test a macro in a stand alone Excel or in the Excel inplace. Some features are disabled in Excel Inplace (by Microsoft!!).
