Setting # for 0CALYEAR in selection for planning level in BPS

hi all!
when i try to set # for 0CALYEAR (and other time variables) in selection for planning level in BPS, i recieve the following error message: 'Value # is not permitted for characteristic Calendar Year' (UPC003). As i understand, this problem began to occur after upgrading to SPS12.
we have BI 7.0 installed
can anyone help me solve this problem please?

Hi 
Check in year master data if value BLANK (#) exists. System should permit only those values for characteristics which are available in master data tables. 
Secondly, does system allow you to select value # for calendar year using the F4 drilldown?
 
Hope it helps. 
Cheers Abhijit

Selecting the Planning Level for Statistical Forecast in S&OP on HANA

Hello together,
we currently face an issue regarding the statistical forecast in S&OP on HANA:
The customer wants to implement an S&OP process containing the two steps statistical forecast (automatically calculated) and sales forecast (manually determined). The planning level of the statistical forecast should be higher than the planning level of the sales forecast, i.e. the statistical forecast is calculated on a higher planning level and then disaggregated to be an input for the manually determined sales forecast.
Since it doesn't seem to be possible to disaggregate any key figure below its base planning level we need to have the lower sales planning level as base planning level in all key figures, including the input and output key figures of the statistical forecast.
When running a statistical forecast with a defined forecasting profile, the planning level used for the forecast seems to be the base planning level of the input/output key figures defined in the forecasting profile.
However, we need to define a higher planning level for the statistical forecast in order to have a better data base for recognizing trends and sesonality. In APO DP it is possible to define the planning level for the forecast when running/scheduling the forecasting job. Is this also possible in S&OP on HANA? Can we define the planning level for the forecast in the forecasting profile or when running the forecast from the Excel AddIn? I tried to use the field "Filter" in the forecasting profile as it listed all the planning levels (as well as a lot of other things, we don't know where they come from), but the forecast was still carried out on the base planning level.
Do you have any other idea where to define the forecasting planning level that is different from the base planning level of the input/output key figures?
Thank you in advance,
Jonathan

Hi Bert,
thank you for your fast answer. I checked the forum again and found this post:
Question about Statistical Forecast
However, I don't really get how the disaggregation is meant to work; the suggestion seems to be to calculate a forecast on an aggregated level, i.e. with input and output key figure with an aggregated base planning level, and then disaggregate it "somehow".
Do you have any idea how this disaggregation might work and what other steps I have to consider?
It seems as if I'd have to define a whole bunch of new key figures and have more than one output key figure but no input key figure for the statistical forecast, which doesn't make sense in my eyes.
Actually I was looking for a solution where I can define my forecasting profile with both input and output key figure on the lower planning level and then insert the level I want the forecast to be done at either in the profile as well, or even more flexible when running or scheduling a forecast. Defining more key figures any time I need another forecasting level does not appear very comfortable. Is it meant to be like that or is there another way to reach the goal mentioned above?
Cheers,
Jonathan
Edit: The mentioned thread contains some valuable information on how to disaggregate key figures. However, the really tricky decision is how to define the disaggregation ratio.

2 variables for same characteristic in planning level in BPS

Hello,
I would appreciate your help implementing this scenario: a user has access to certain versions and should be a able to copy data between 2 of those versions.
We have 4 versions on our master data: 001, 002, 003 and 004.
A certain user should be able to access versions 001, 002 and 003, and should not be able to access version 004.
So we have an authorization object applied to that user with:
-> 0TCAACTVT EQ 03
-> 0TCAIPROV EQ <real time infocube>
-> 0TCAVALID CP *
-> 0VERSION EQ 001, 002 and 003
Then, users should be able to copy data between versions.
We created 2 variables on planning area, named ZVERSOLD and ZVERSNEW, with these characteristics:
-> Characteristic: 0VERSION
-> Replacement Type: USERVALUE User-defined values
-> Restriction of Values Required by User: enabled
-> Input Allowed by User: enabled
So this particular user should only see those 3 versions when pressing F4 when filing both variables.
After that, we created the planning level with the u201Ccopyu201D planning function.
But now, on planning level, we need to restrict 0VERSION, but we have a problem because we are not able to restrict it using 2 variables (ZVERSOLD and ZVERSNEW). Only one.
If we donu2019t use any variable, user gets an authorization error because he is not able to access to all data due to authorizations.
Does anyone have a way to avoid this issue? Should authorizations be defined in a different way? Should variables be defined in a different way?
Hopefully I exposed all required details to get help, and that my question wasnu2019t too much confused.
Again, thank you very much in advance for your support.
Rui

Hello,
If you restrict the VERSION with variable ZVERSNEW for target version then the function should work. But if you get any error related to reading reference data for the source version then you can create a new variable of type exit and populate it with the values selected by the user in two variables ZVERSOLD and ZVERSNEW using the two APIs :
API_SEMBPS_VARIABLE_GETDETAIL - to get the current value of the two Variables
API_SEMBPS_VARIABLE_SET - to set the Variable Values for the Exit type variable

Reading Charact. Selection in Planning Level using Exit Var FM

Hi Expert,
i have to do a data slice with an Exit Variable that looks at selected data in the planning level and check in a custom table if the corresponding charact in the level is flagged in order to fill the variable with this value and lock data.
Any idea of the code for reading, in an Exit Var FM, data from Charact selection in the planning level?
Any hints will be very appreciated and rewarded.
Tanks
Fabio

Hi,
You could check the how to guide variables of type exit at:

How to set a default pre-select for radio buttons?

Hi
I have some text form fields that I've set up to display some paired variables stored in a .txt file. When the swf loads, the form fields are populated with the text.
I've also set it up so that if you change the text and hit a submit button, the .txt file gets updated.
I'm now tryng to set it up so that I can store radio button selections in the .txt file too.
I've started doing it a certain way, but am wondering if there is a more straightforward way of doing ?
Here's what I've done...
I've set up the butttons to spit out "on" or "off" depending on the selection, and apply that to the variable that gets stored.
Now, in the same way I loaded the variables into the text form fields when the swf is refreshed, I want to load the on/off variable, and then somehow apply it to the radio buttons so that one of them is pre-selected.
So my questions are a) how do I take that loaded variable, and use an if statement to make it pre-select the button, and b) is there a simpler way to pre-select a button based on an external variable?
Thanks
Shaun

Nevermind guys - I did it using the 'rb_on.selected' command on the "on" radio button if the .txt file variable was "on", else the "off" radio button is selected.
Thanks for taking a look though!

Retreiving the guid for target group selected for trade promotion in CRM 7

HI,
I am working on building API for creating trade promotion. I need to find a way where I could retreive the GUID of the target group to be assigned to the trade promotion.
Please share you thoughts on this. Let me know if we could use any standard function module or SAP class which could be used to achieve the objective.
Awaiting your replies.
Thanks

PDF as default selection for Select printing cotrol (for Web)

Hi
Can someone point me to righ direction? What we are trying to do is, in Infoview, set PDF as default selection for "Select printing Control (for Web)", so that each user does not have to do this in preferences in infoview.
Is it possible to do so? If yes, how?
Thank you
Regards

Take a look for a .vbs sample that synchs the ADMINISTRATOR preferences to all users on the BOE platform.
You can schedule this as a PROGRAM OBJECT in InfoView so that it runs on a regular schedule to apply the change to new users.

No INBOX Selection for the Partner

Hi Experts,
Could someone please tell me where we can configure a Vendor for "No INBOX Selection for the Partner".
Is this at some transaction level or in the Shopping cart.
We have this field in the table CRMD_PARTNER, Field - DISABLED
Due to this the Vendor gets dropped and the PO goes into HELD status.
We have implemented the Preferred to FIxed Vendor and works perfectly, except for these partners with CRMD_PARTNER-DISABLED = 'X'.
Thank you.

thanks

Sample routine for dynamic flatfile selection in infopackage?

hello guys,
I tried to find one sample routine for Dynamic Flatfile selection at Infopackage level in forums,internet...but couldnot find it....(something like....we give one flatfile everyday...process chain runs everday...and whenever Infopackage executes...it selects that days flatfile basing on date or something and loads the data)....
can anyone give that sample routine ?
Thanks,
Rgards,
S

Hi,
You can select the dynamic flat file using routine at info package.
The routine here is to create dynamic file name, click the routine button beside the name of flat file.
create name and write the related code.
Eg: concatenate 'D:\BIFLATFILES\PRODUCTDATA_' SY-DATUM '.CSV' INTO P_FILENAME.
In this path you have to paste your file with name PRODUCTDATA_09.10.2009.CSV.
So if it is daily load we need change the file name with that date.Infopackage automatically picks up this file and loads the data.
Based on your requirement you need to change the code to select file with path.
Thanks,
Joseph

Affect of a new planning level selection

Hi,
we have a BW-BPS environment with lots of BPS functionalities, palnning sequenses, save, copy functions...
Until now we have all products from SAP R/3 extracted.
Newly there are now in SAP R/3 lots of small products. Planning people donu2019t want to see and plan all products in planning layouts. They want to see to plan only the "important products".
The following solution is thought.
we will create a product hierachie with 2 hierarchie node: "important products" and "small products".
the hier. node u201Cimportant productsu201D should be used in all planning levels in selections.
How can it (selection in planning level) affect the current planning functions ?
What would you suggest here?

Hi,
Planning functions are assigned to just one planning level. So if you have planned to restrict the values using Hierarchy at planning level, then the underlying functions will apply only to that hierarchy members.

Lokesh Nandula

Convert Selection for Ipod help

Having just updated to the latest version of iTunes 6.0.2 for the Mac I have been attempting to the Convert Selection for iPod menu selection for video podcasts that have not already sync'd up. I have successfully converted 1 video podcast and loaded it on my iPod 5G, but have also tried unsuccessfully to the same with 4 or 5 others. When I do Get Info on the converted files it does show the .m4v file extension and when I run the video podcasts from within iTunes, it looks like it is the right size.
Has anyone else seen this and can offer a resolution?
G4 Dual 1G (QuickSilver 2002) Mac OS X (10.4)

I think I was able to resolve this myself after some trial and error. It looks like it is all in the name of the file. I've gotten some files to transfer after going into the Get Info section and updating the name (usually shorten the name or take out non-letter/number/# characters and then get the filename on disk to match.

Audit "SELECT FOR UPDATE" statement

Hi all
My database is 10.2.0.3 and I enabled audit_trail to DB value already.
My purpose I want to audit "SELECT FOR UPDATE" statement on the table and I tried to enable audit "SELECT" on the table that have many records in dba_audit_trail because "SELECT" statement that include in this audit and then I tried to enable audit "LOCK TABLE" on the table that doesn't have any records n dba_audit_trail.
So my question is How to enable audit for collecting only "SELECT FOR UPDATE" statement? or anyone have any idea for this.

A consideration on top of the comments made by Justin:
You have an unfortunate version of the database for auditing: when you enable audit on 10.2.0.3 (or.2 or .1) the redo pattern changes - normally you will see a redo change vector for each row updated, but in these versions you will see two records, a "lock row" followed up "update row piece"; which means your volume of redo may increase significantly.
I wrote a note about it some time ago: http://jonathanlewis.wordpress.com/2011/05/27/audit-ouch/ and one of the comments includes the bug number ( 5166745 ), reporting fixed in 10.2.0.4 and 11.1.0.6

Planning Level Root Question (Periodid Vs Monthly)

Hello,
I have a question related with planning level configuration.
In the standard SAP Planning area
SAP2 - All the planning levels have been defined monthly attribute as the root for time
SAP4 - All the planning levels have been defined periodid attribute as the root for time
What is the difference between both type of configuration. (Selecting Monthly / period id as the root, what difference it creates and how it affects other areas)
I was testing consensus demand key figure in SOP 3.0 and I am unable to edit the key figure value in my planning area (KF value change in Excel) which is a copy of SAP4 planning area. Initial response from SAP OSS is to modify the planning level and use monthly instead of Periodid (But I have just copied the standard SAP4 planning area).
Uploading the key figure using KF template works fine but issues comes only when I tried to change the value in Excel or try to input new values in blank cells.
Same thing I also tested in IBP 4.0 FP1 Patch 1 and configuration is exactly the same as SOP 3.0 (Both SAP2 and SAP4 planning area) but I am able to modify consensus demand key figure in both the copied planning area (Copy of SAP2 and SAP4) irrespective of monthly / periodid selected as the root.
Please let me know if you have observed this before and what are your feedback/suggestions.
Thanks

KF defaulting to multiple sources, both defined at more granular planning levels

Hello Experts,
I hope this will be an easy one for you Personally, I have been trying to figuring out how to overcome this issue and I must admit that I am short of solution.
So here is the situation:
I have two sets of data for my actual sales :
- First one is loaded at planning level @ Period | Product | National Group | Point of Sales(POS)
- The other is loaded @ Period | Product | National Group | Ship-To Party
To get a valid portrait of my actual sales, I must compare these two sets of data at a common planning level (i.e. @ Period | Product | National Group).
Then, the adjusted result must be "re"disaggregated @ Period | Product | National Group | Point of Sales, the base planning level used to forecast.
Based on what I could understand from SAP2 model, I created the following key figures:
ActualsQtyPOS : Stored at base planning level @PERPRODNATPOS and calculated @PERPRODNAT. Here are the 2 calculation definitions I used:
ActualsQtyPOS@REQUEST = SUM ("ActualsQtyPOS@ERPRODNATPOS")
ActualsQtyPOS@PERPRODNAT = SUM ("ActualsQtyPOS@ERPRODNATPOS")
ActualsQtyShipTo : Stored at base planning level @PERPRODNATSHIPTO and calculated @PERPRODNAT. Defined with this calculation:
ActualsQtyShipTo@REQUEST = SUM ("ActualsQtyShipTo@PERPRODNATPOS")
ActualsQtyShipTo@PERPRODNAT = SUM ("ActualsQtyShipTo@PERPRODNATPOS")
AdjustedActualsQty : Created at base planning level @PERPRODNAT. This KF must be stored and editable. The value must be defaulted to ActualsQtyPOS@PERPRODNAT, unless no data exist (then, default to ActualsQtyShipTo@PERPRODNAT).
AdjustedActualsQty@REQUEST=SUM ("AdjustedActualsQty@PERPRODNAT")
AdjustedActualsQty@PERPRODNAT=IF(ISNULL("AdjustedActualsQty@PERPRODNAT"),IF(ISNULL("ActualsQtyPOS@PERPRODNAT"),"ActualsQtyShipTo@PERPRODNAT","ActualsQtyPOS@PERPRODNAT"),"AdjustedActualsQty@PERPRODNAT").
My issue : I tried several (and I mean several!) configuration possibilities. So far, the best result that I got was to default the good value in AdjustedActualsQty based on the calculation rule above. But my core problem persists: I am not able to edit manually the defaulting value and save the new value in the database.
Based on my comprehension, the problem would be related to ActualsQtyPOS and ActualsQtyShipTo Key Figures. Both are stored at a more granular planning level, and then calculated @PERPRODNAT level. In addition to storing them at their base planning level, would it be possible to store the aggregated results at a higher level (@PERPRODNAT)? This way, I would be able to use them as stored input in AdjustedActualsQty@PERPRODNAT calculation and duplicate the AdjustedActualsQty KF used in SAP2.
Any help would be greatly appreciate.
(I tried to summarize the best I can, don't hesitate if you need more details on some points.)
Best regards

Hi Philippe
you dont need access to HANA, it is pure config
Go to Configuration -> Miscellanious --> Manage Planning Operator
If not existing yet, create a new type by clicking on teh white "sheet" symbole "create new" on the right side.
In the popup enter the EXACT name COPY (not more than one possible):
Provide info for "Add Job Procedure" and "Schedule Procedure":
Add Job Procedure = "SAP_SFND"."sap.sop.sopfnd.catalogue::SOPAPI_OPERATOR_SCHEDULER_JOB_ADD"
Schedule Procedure = "SAP_SFND"."sap.sop.sopfnd.catalogue::SOPAPI_EXECUTE_SCHEDULER_COPY_JOB"
Than add you operator lines by clicking on the plus symbol
with the following parameter:
DURATION
PERIOD_OFFSET
SOURCE_KFID1
SOURCE_KFID2
DURATION: e.g. 24 if you want to copy 24 months
PERIOD_OFFSET: e.g. 0 when you want to copy starting current months, or -1 if you want to start previous months
SOURCE_KFID1: starting keyfigure FROM which you copy. MUST NOT have any UoM or currency conversion
TARGET_KFID1: your target keyfigure. UoM or currency conversion in here is allowed
You could have SOURCE_KFID2 and TARGET_KFID2 as well. And you can have more than just one line.
Flag the batch and filter mode flags, but not interactive (not supported yet)
Provide a useful DESCRIPTION as that is seen by the users
Make sure that not too many users get the authoriozation for it as if you execute that withiout a filter accidentially it does not only change all values, but if you run more than one at a time that migt get to conflicts. Like normal batch jobs: You usually give admins or power users access
It copies on the very lowest possible level. You cannot tell the system as in APO-DP to copy on an aggregated level. PLus, source and target kf must have the same planning level. So you may copy from a calculated kf that does the calculation on the level of the target kf
Dont have any docu, sorry. Hope that helps
