Adding new key figures to DP planning area

I am using APO DP.
When adding new key figures to a planning area, is there any way of avoiding having to deinitialise and then re initialise the planning area?
Thanks for any advice on this...

First of, let us know which version of DP are you using.
If you are using 7.0, all you need to do is right click on your planning area and select Change Keyfigure setting and you should be able to update the key figures there.
The below is from SAP help for SAP APO 7.0, you should be able to add the key figure without deinitializing the planning area.
Key Figure Settings
Here you can change the properties of the key figures of a planning area, if the planning area has already been initialized. You can also add or delete key figures. However, you can only delete key figures that are no longer used in planning books, data views, macros, or demand forecasts. You can find out in which objects a specific key figure is used with the where-used list.

Query on 0IC_C03 with key figures 0valstckqty and 0valstckval

Hello Gurus,
I want to make a query on 0IC_C03 with key figures 0valstckqty and 0valstckval for a single month eg October 2011. I have 0plant in rows. The problem is that I just see the key figures for planst which have movements in October 2011.
I dont want choose all months in global filter to get key figures for all plants.
How can I solve this problem?
Jesper

Jesper-
You're looking at a "Transactional" info cube. That means that the query you create will ONLY provide data for a selected period in which data exists. Plants with no movements will not appear. That's how it's supposed to work.
Now... you can create a hidden selection in your columns. For example:
First column (hidden)... 0valstckqty + 0valstckval. No other restrictions
Second column (visible) 0valstckqty restricted to the date range of interest
Third column (visible) 0valstckval restricted to the date range of interest
be sure to NOT suppress Zero rows.
Plants that never had a transaction will, however, not appear at all. The query will also take a long time to execute because it's extracting all data.
The best solution is to explain to your user that it's working the way it's supposed to.. if a plant has no values then there were no transactions.

What makes this a Key Figure Model (and not Account Model in BW) ?

I am reviewing a document on Key Figure Model versus Account Model in BW.
this example is said to be "Key Figure" Model
Customer     Revenue     Deductions     COGS
A            100 DM      390 DM         50 DM
What makes this a Key Figure Model (and not Account Model in BW)

Hi Amanda,
Consider the simplified a company income statement:
Sales
COGS
-- Gross profits
Selling and Administrative expense
Deperication expense
-- Operating profit
Interest expense
-- Earnings before taxes
Taxes
-- Earnings after taxes
Each of this lines is represented in BW as a key figure (lines with '--' represented as calculated KFs).
Different persons or companies may use their own details of income statement. For example, someone want to see instead of one line "Selling and Administrative expense" two - separatly selling and administrative expenses, or even break down of these expenses by category. In the KF model every new introducted line should be represented by a new KF.
In the Account Model every line is represented by one KF only. Let name it as 'Amount'. Another characteristic is telling us what kind of amount it is. Imagine that you have accounting trial balance that lists accounts, starting and ending balances, and debit and credit turnovers for each account.
An accountant will tell you that a credit turnover in account #XXXX represent the company revenue (sales), a debit turnover in account #YYYY - cost of goods sold etc.
Simplified inflow of transactional data will consist of:
Account Amount
XXXX    -12345
YYYY    8765
etc.
In this model (assuming that you load data for all accounts) you can easily change the scheme of calculations and their presentations (groupping, regroupping etc.) in reports without creating new KFs.
In your example you provide a KF model because every distinct type of amounts is represented by its own KF.
Best regards,
Eugene

Key figure display in planning book with respect to Time bucket profile

Hi,
I am loading a key figure to planning area from the info cube for the current month. When I review the key figure in planning book with monthly time bucket profile it shows 85 for the current month. In the same planning book with weekly bucket profile, it shows 55 from the current week and future weeks and the remaining 30 goes into the past weeks of the current month.
How to make the total quantity 85 to show in the current and future weeks only.
thanks and regards
Murugesan

Hi Murugesan,
Within the Planning Area, the data is stored at the lowest level granularity that you maintain in storage bucket profile. Then during display, system will decide what data to show depending on what kind of time bucket profile you use in the planning view, and the time based disaggregation that you maintain for Key Figure.
In this below case, what time characteristic do you have in cube? Is it date, week or month?
If it's date, check how much KF data is maintained on the dates which belong to week which has days both in this month/last month e.g. if I talk about Dec 2011, how much data is stored 1,2,3 & 4 th of Dec, 2011.
This data would appear in Dec in monthly view, but in week, it would appear in the week starting 28th November.
If data is maintained in cube in weeks, then you need to calculate how time based disaggregation would show it to you in months.
If it's months, then you would need to find out how much data would go to the days in the past week of the month.
The time based disaggregation may be causing you some issues, but in that case, I would not expect 30 out of 85 to go in the past week, unless you have data in cube in days.
Data shown in weekly view for week starting 28th Nov should ideally be a small proportion of 85, unless you are using a time stream/fiscal year variant, due to which most of December is in holidays. The only other exception I can think of is that you have data in teh days mentioned above.
It would be best to help the business understand this disaggregation logic, rather than thinking of manipulating the data to shift to a later week.
If this logic doesn't explain your situation, then please provide the date/week/month at which you have data in cube, and what quantity.
Thanks - Pawan

Calculated key figures in manual planning

I'm trying to set up a Material Planning system using BPS.
One of the requirements my customer wants is that in the manual planning he can both modify a multiplier as well as one of the resulting amount key figures.
The multiplier is used to calculate the consensus amount based on a consolidated amount.
In my manual planning I have the possibility to allow input on the multiplier as well as the consensus forecast (that has been calculated upfront). Now I need the consensus forecast to change when th multiplier is changed.
How can I best tackle this? (Yes, I'm fairly junior to BPS...)
Thanks for any guidance in this matter.
Regards,
Eric

Hi Eric,
to give business the most flexible solution, allow them to manually change the multiplier or the result and provide two planning functions (FOX). One for calculating the result from the multiplier, and one for the reverse. Then the user can choose which direction they want to go.

How To Add New Key Figure in Manual Planning

Dear All
Please Help
I Already implement BPS for 2 year.
Now user want to add new key figure in Cube.
I already add new key figure to cube and activated it.
But in Manual Planning, The new key figure not show in selection
what I must do?
Please Help.
Thanks

Hi,
not all key figure types are supported in BPS.
1. All key figure types must have aggregation SUM, SUM.
2. Supported key figure types:
- amout
- quantity
- number (integer, float, dec)
- time, only type DEC
- datum, only type DEC
All other key figures are filtered out and are not available in BPS.

Gregor

Creating the Key Figure in Demand Planning

Hello
I have a Issue , where a user wants to know what is the Remaining Allocation for a Planning Material with the Wild Characteristic (&&&&&&) .
Presently we have 2 Key figures Namely:
AEMENGE-Incoming Orders Qty and KCQTY- Prod. Alloc.Qty corrsponding to Info Objects Z0CTK0062-Consumed Allocation Qty and Z0CTK0063-Total Allocation Qty.
This gives us the Total Allocation and Total Consumed Allocation and these key figures we are using in the Macro and difference gives us the remaining Allocation. But now the requirement is to find the remaining Allocation for the Wild Characteristic (&&&)
Eg : Total allocation for Planning Material : X is Say 15000 Kgs
We have allocation for Planning material and Sold to Party Level
Say Material is Sold to 2 Parties A & B and Remaining C is not for any Parties and represented as (&&&)
Say XA - 8000, XB-3000 , X (&&&) - 4000.
The Consumed allocation is XA-5000, XB-2500 and X (&&&)-3000
The system gives the Remaining allocation as 4500 (XA-3000,XB-500 and X(&&&)-1500)
We want to Display the Remaining Allocation of X(&&&) - 2500
along with total Remaining allocation of 4500
Can we have any Key figure to Capture this Data.
Please help in this regards

We can always create macros that checks for certain characteristic value before doing calculation. (check the IOBJNM_VALUE() macro function)
I am not sure if thats what you are looking at. A planning area key figure can be created to capture this information. If you are looking at something to work across different levels, I am afraid you would need to go through user exit macro route.

Calculated key figures, results and grouping!!

Hi,
I'm working on a workbook with several sheets, the first of them contains the detail and also several result lines (Discipline, material group and material), the second one has a resume (Discipline and material group), etc.
In the first and second sheet I have a calculated key figure, but the result has a problem because I don't want to formulate it on the result, instead I need the summarization (total of amounts by material), this problem is already solved by changing the calculate result as summation. But now I'm facing a new problem, when I try to see the resume report (2nd sheet) by material group I don't need the Calculated Key Figure, what I need are the summation and total result showed on the first sheet.
One option I've been thinking of is to show the query on the first screen and hide the detail lines and just show the result and the summation lines; is this option ok? Do you have any other ideas?..
Thank you very much for all the help you can bring me,
Waiting for yours answers!!

Hi,
The best way to show only the summation by refering through cells. I mean the second option would be best.

IPhone 3G model prices, available plans and plan costs

I've looked but could not find a comprehensive chart that displays the various iPhone 3G models, their prices when subsidized and not (if applicable, will use AT&T) and the available plans and their costs. Where can I find one? If there isn't one ...perhaps one could post such data here in one neat centralized format? Thanks!

Integrated Planning and Non-cumulative key figure

Hi
I´m creating an Integrated Planning application and a problem has occurred. The users want to plan on inflow and outflow and at the same time have a row with the total sum in the same layout (they are planning on 0CALMONTH and 0ORGUNIT) This can e.g. be solved through use Web Application Designer with one planning query and one traditional query.
Any way. I have created a non-cumulative key figure with an inflow- and an outflow key figure. The problem is that the non-cumulative key figure starts working first when I change the planning mode from plan status to load status. I could use function modules, to change the status, behind the save button but there are several users who are planning at the same cube at the same time and I don´t want to lock the others from planning.
How to solve this?
- Is it possible to restrict the switching, from plan to load, by setting some kind of filter at the users org.unit? (0ORGUNIT is an authorization object)
- Is it possible to create a process chain and then load the data to another cube for reporting at just this key figure? And also here have a filter at the org.unit
I will gladly get all kind of idea and input to solve this problem. Maybe there is some other way to go than using non-cumulative key figureu2026

Thanks for your answers
I have tried different scenarios and I will use a u201Dsave-buttonu201D. In the save-button I use the commands SAVE_DATA and EXECUTE_PROCESS_CHAIN. The command u201CEXECUTE_PROCESS_CHAIN starts a process chain that switches from plan mode to load mode and then back to plan mode again.
One new problem has arisen. The non-cumulative key figure is updating if an existing value (inflow- or outflow) is changed. But if an input is made to an empty cell, without value, nothing happen when I press on the start-button. BUT if I refresh the browser the non-cumulative value is updated!!!
Is there any command in WAD that refresh the whole page? If so I can include it in my start-button.
If not, any sugestion on how to solve the problem?
Best regards
Mikael

Key Figure Display in Interactive Planning

Hello,
I am unable to display some of the key figures in SNP Interactive Planning. All these Key Figures are present in Planning book and are also included in the data view.
Is there any setting wherein I can control the display of Key figure although that key figure is present in Planning book and data view. For Example I have my "safety stock" key figure in my planning book and data view, but I am unable to see the "safety stock" key figure in SNP interactive planning.
Would really appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Sarath.

Hi Visu,
Your answer is really helpful, thanks for that. But while I am trying to hide some key figures it is not allowing me to do so. It is either hiding all the key figures or unhiding all. Please let me know if why the system is behaving like this.
Thanks

Updating data in APO demand planning key figure

Hi
We have a key figure in Demand planning which is not present in Info cube, This key figure is just avaialable in SAPAPO SDP94for manullay key in some data, Now I want to update data in this key figure via extrnal file i.e text file.
Could u suggest some ways for this, Remember this key figure is not present in Info cube, Hence we can not feed in External file to Info cube, We some other way for updating data in this key figure,
Thanks and regards,
Nitin Lavhe

If your client is not Ok with standard way of flat file upload, Also If you will get a file from external customer on weekly basis then definitely they will put it somewhere either on local server or application server.
I would suggest, Define the format for the flat file,Ask User to put that file on application server, Write a simple program to get data from that file on application server, Update the KeyFigure using standard BAPIs available,After updation delete that file from server.Schedule this program in background on weekly basis so that every time it will check for new file on server path and update the Keyfigure accordingly.
I know this is a custom development but this will work.
Thanks,
Saurabh

Does Fixing Key figure be part of Planning area?

Hi,
I saw the post by David and this question popped from there. The answer may be simple but I just want to confirm it.
If I am fixing a key figure A and storing the fixing information in another key figure B. I specify the Key Figure B in Key figure A definition (RSD1) as the fixing key figure.
I also know that both key figures A and B are APO key figures.
Now the question is: Do we need to include both A and B in the planning area and planning book even though I need only key figure A?
Thanks.

We can wait for more people to respond, however here is my view.
Fixed TS Key Figures actually maintains the fixed component of the primary key figure. It can have its own disagg logic and in most business cases, it will be same as the primary key figure. It needs to be intialized for the same time zone as that of the primary keyfigure which is only possible if both the keyfigures co-exist in a planning area. Figuratively take the Fixed Key Figure as a twin of the primary Key Figure which holds only a certain portion of the primary determined as fixed. The fixing logic will not work correctly if its configuration is not similar to the one of primary.
