Hi Friends,
I would like to produce
1. Rolling Forcast,

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,

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.

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.

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

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..

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

Hello Marc and Sander,
I checked the document status and tested the link myself using a PC external to the SAP environment and did not have any problem. You do have to be logged in to do this. If you are not, you should see a page that will appear which says that a login is required to use that feature. On some occassions, users see an error message instead. I apologize for that.

Report on process chains using SEM-BPS

We are looking to develop a tool to:
1. Monitor data loads at the process chain level
2. Within in the same tool, enter error resolution /
action steps for all failed loads
3. Report out % of successful or failed loads, using the data captured by the tool.
We have studied the BW Tables rspcchain, rspcchainattr, rspclogchain, rspcprocesslog, rspclogs, rseventchain and
rspcchaint.
We are considering the following options:
1. Develop an ABAP report and allowing the process chain monitor to manually enter the error resolutions (Perhaps in a Z-Table)
2. Create an InfoCube in BW using the above tables and then write a query, but we can not allow the user to enter error resolutions in the query.
3. Create a transactional infocube in SEM-BPS using the above tables and use the input functionality of tansactional infocube to facilitate the error resolution report entry.
Can anyone suggest any alternate solution, or has anyone encountered similar requirement on project?
One more doubt to check: is there any way to create an infoobject with CHAR type to enter data with 1000 or more characters? Or is there any other alternative solution to it? The doubt is to take care of the text entry for the error resolution.
Milind Vad

Just some thoughts:
Have you considered using document service in BW or even KM (Portal) technology rather than CHAR 1000+ fields? This would give you more flexibility also on the type of document.
For loading there are monitors available (based on tables like RSMONMESS). If you are interested in loads only (and not other process types), maybe using information from the BW load monitor could be beneficial (like RSMONMESS) rather than the process chain stuff.
Maybe it's even worth having an InfoObjekt with a resolution code that links to a document describing the resolution with a key and whenever there is a new solution available create a new key with a new document. That would be most beneficial for reporting (like how many times has this problem / resolution occurred and the like).

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

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....

Planning Function : Amortization in SEM BPS

Hi,
We have a need to implement Amortization function in SEM BPS. We are implementing SEM-BW 3.5 version.We need to set up schedules to track bond issues, principal and interest payments, etc in BPS. Data will be coming from Excel.
Can any one help me out by giving me a step by step procedure or guidance to implement this function in BPS...
Thanks in advance...

In your exit function you have a parameter XTH_DATA. This parameter contains a hashed table. The structure of the table consists of S_CHAS that contains all characteristics and S_KYFS that contains all key figures. In a Multi area there is a field called AREA___ that you can check. The basic coding in your function module should therefore look like.
DATA: l_s_data TYPE /1SEM/_YS_DATA<...>
LOOP AT xth_data into l_s_data.
IF l_s_data-s_chas-_area___ = 'CUBE1'.
 l_s_data-s_chas-_area___ = 'CUBE2'.
 insert l_s_data into xth_data.
 IF sy-subrc <> 0.
 MODIFY xth_data FROM l_s_data.
 ENDIF.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
Note that this does not delete existing records. The type of the structure l_s_data depends on the client and name of the multi area.
Best regards
Dirk

Analysis Authorization with SEM-BPS

Hi,
We have performed technical upgrade from BW 3.5 to BI 7.0. We want to migrate to BI 7.0 functionality phase wise.
We have SEM-BPS and now we want to migrate to Analysis Authorization of BI 7.0.
Once we have igrated to Analysis Authorization, will there be any impact on SEM-BPS? Can we still use SEM-BPS with New Analysis Authorizations? We do not want to move to BI-IP in near future?.
Please advise.
Best Regards,
UR

Dear UR,
Iu2019m going to try helping you,
In difference of reporting functionality, in planning, the data of an InfoCube is not just read; it is also changed or created.
There are two planning tools in BI: BW-BPS (Business Planning and Simulation), and BI Integrated Planning.
There are two main tcode: BPS0 and RSPLAN
There are three authorization objects to manage Integrated Planning:
S_RS_PL_ADMIN - Planning Administrator
S_RS_PL_PLANNER u2013 Planner
S_RS_PL_PLANMOD_D u2013 Planning Modeler (Development System)
The main object in the planning scenario is InfoCube real-time, where can available writing in small package that arrive in parallel. In some cases the security requirements for reporting and planning can be merging. In this case you need authorization object for checking planning, as authorization object above, and you need authorization object for using a query for planning requires as S_RS_COMP.
In addition to authorization for displaying data, the authorizations for changing data you need analysis authorization (the analysis authorization focus in the InfoProvider, no in Aggregation Level).
In your analysis authorization design for reporting stuff, you should use in 0TCAACTVT characteristic 03 value. In the planning stuff, you should use in 0TCAACTVT characteristic 03 and 02 values. As explain following:
Using the characteristics 0TCAACTVT (activity), you can restrict the authorization to different activities. Read (03) is set as the default activity; you must also assign the activity Change (02) for integrated planning.

SEM BPS Requirements

Does someone have any list of questions to ask during SEM BPS requirements gathering session for new planning process?

1. who plans
2. what is planned, what do the users want to change: quantity / value / ...
3. how ofthen do they plan / is the planning based on a rolling forecast
4. what is the planning horizon / how far in the future do they want to plan
5. How do users select the data they want to plan / what are the relevant selection criteria
6. Do they want to plan on the web or on the GUI
7. What do they want to see when they are planning / do they want to see actuals of past months ?
8. If they want to see actuals of past months / where should this data come from (already in BW / from flat files / ...)
9. Which reports do they want: version comparision / actual - forecast comparison
10. What is the planning process, is there a hierarchy of planners / are plans consolidated and then changed on a higher level
11. Which additional functions should be available to the users (calculations / distribution / ...)
This should give you a good start.
Please assign points if this solved your question,
Best Regards,
Filip
