Status & Score problem in SEM BSC

Hi all,
In our BSC we are using an indicator 'financial result'. The status of this indicator is determined by the following:
Formula = a / b (a = actual, B = norm)
Formula result < 0,95 = Red traffic light
Formula result 0,95 - 1 = Yellow traffic light
Formula result > 1 = Green traffic light
The problem is that this formula works different for positive and negative inputs.
Ex. 1 : a = 100 b = 50 -> Result = 2, thus a green traffic light
Ex. 2 : a = -50 b = -100 -> Result = 0,5, thus a red traffic light
In both examples the actual result was much higher than the norm, and thus the traffic lights should be green. However, in example 2 this is not the case
How to solve this?
Somehow it seems to me that the formula assignment should be different for positive ( a / b ) and for negative ( b / a ), but how to implement this in SEM BSC?
Thanks in advance,
Ralph

Hi,
Since MDX_PARSER is non-unicode as you need to download latest librfc32.dll (though you have unicode SAP version) and copy to Windows\system32 and SAP exe folders as specified in note# 1032461.

How to fill the "budget" in an initiative in SEM BSC

Good Afternoon for all!
We have a Balanced Scorecard implemented in SAP SEM BSC, using SAP BW.
Our Balanced Scorecard actually manages ratios, objectives, perspectives, strategy and scorecard.
Now, we are trying to use "iniatiatives" and we have using the SEM BSC wizard, through the web interface.
When defining the initiative everything goes ok, we define the initiative , and then we assign it to an objective.
We have also installed the infocube "0SEM_C02" which we have the understanding that it stores the information concerned to initiatives.
I have also build a SEM BPS layout and planning area for this infocube (0SEM_C02) in order to fill the infocube with information (manually entered).
But after all these, the information does not appear for the "budget" when displaying the Balanced scorecard.
When displaying an initiative it displays:
-Definition
-Duration
-Priority
-Status and score
-Milestones
-Team members
-Objectives
-Budget (<-----E M P T Y !! )
I do not understand, how to fill the "Budget" data for an initiative. Because we have fill all the information regarded to the initiative included above, but the budget is very important for us, and as i said before, we have installed the infocube 0SEM_C02, we also created a planning area for this infocube in BPS, we have created a planning layout for this infocube, and we have entered some values to this infocube.
Is there any special condition or something special to do, in order to fill the budget for an initiative in SAP SEM BSC??
How can we see in the BSC the budget for an initiative, or fill the value???
We will appreciate any help for this issue.
Thanks in advance for your valuable help.

From SEM-BSC 6.0 to SSM 7.0

Hi Guys,
My question is more general than a technical issue. I have a scenario where I am using SEM-BSC version 6.0. It is very peculiar for many reasons. For example: KPIs are created daily! For results of such KPIs we developed a Manual Entry using Visual Composer and DSO in BW. There are also auto KPIs from HR and FI/CO cubes. Now we are moving forward to second stage. The Web version of BSC 6.0 is quiet complicated for end-users and the version SSM 7 seems to be more friendly. Would be worth move to SSM 7.0? I know there is few information for such complex question but my main issue is around; users creating measures, approval workflows, internal communication. These bits seems to be spread all over the place in version 6.0.
Kind Regards,
Gilson Teixeira

Gilson,
Yes, SSM 7.0 is more user friendly, and SSM 7.5 recently went into GA and 7.5 has a couple of additional features that are similiar to SEM.
SSM has an Entry & Approval piece for adding manual data into the system. As the name implies, it also allows a workflow for having those manual numbers approved before being published. That would be able to handle your Approval Workflow.
Creating Measures is a process that would be put together by an administrator. For the most part an administrator is just going to be let's say a "tech-savvy" business user.
Internal Communication has a number of things going on. Users can subscribe to alerts for changes in status, etc. of objectives, KPIs, and initiatives. Plus, there is threaded comments available for many areas within SSM. That allows users to place a comment to give a additional information and that comment can be public for all users or designated for particulars groups within the system. So, a comment could be made to the Executive group and then only seen by them.
Users (when given permission) can create Operational Reviews which allows someone to capture and publish screen shots from within the system into a briefing book-style piece that can also be sent to designated groups or to the public. This is another way of easily communicating and reporting.
I would recommend taking a closer look at SSM 7.5. Contact your local rep and they can set up a time to take a deeper dive into SSM.

Can we evaluate EVM(Earned value analysis with) in SEM-BSC

Can we evaluate EVM(Earned value analysis with)IN BSC SEM-BSC.If so then how?

The Earned Value Management (EVM) method enables efficient and effective project management. This form of financial analysis focuses on technical, schedule and cost performance of a project. Obviously, there are different ways of managing by EV ranging from using simple spreadsheets to more complex software implementations.
To get the basic components of project performance regarding the diverse costs, schedule and technical aspects, some of SAP's project management solutions as e.g. part of SAP PLM can possibly be used (for more information please visit e.g. the respective Solutions area on SDN). As these systems are rather transactional, an extraction of the performance data to SAP NetWeaver Business Intelligence (BI) would be a reasonable second step, together with uploads or manual entry of additional necessary project data which is perhaps not available in the transactional system.
For more information of the calculations behing this concept you may refer e.g. to Wikipedia:
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earned_value_management">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earned_value_management</a>
Using calculated key figures in BI can finally deliver the metrics to be composed as Key Performance Indicators and displayed in a dedicated strategy/performance management software with its respective status at the strategic objective or intitiative level if needed (in this regard I would recommend you to have a look at a new strategy/performance management solution of SAP called SAP Strategy Management (SSM) which replaced the older Balanced Scorecard app of SEM you are referring to. More info on SSM can be found on e.g. <a href="http://www.sap.com/solutions/performancemanagement/index.epx">http://www.sap.com/solutions/performancemanagement/index.epx</a>. SAP Strategy Management is methodology-agnostic and can be used for all performance management methodologies based on objectives, KPI's and initiatives. SSM is based on technology acquired by SAP with a company called Pilot earlier this year).
To conclude, a strategy management application (if it is SSM or SEM BSC) does not directly help you calculate EVM as you need transactional/manual calculation data for it together with calculation formulas etc. where diverse other SAP products incl. primarily SAP NW BI can be used. However, a strategy management application can be an excellent environment to visualize/evaluate the results of the EVM calcualtion in the context of strategic objectives and/or initiatives. And as I said, feel free to have a look at the new SAP Strategy Management application, replacing the SEM BSC Solution if you are interested in the strategy management area.
Thank you for your inquiry / Best regards,

Continuing the "status message problems" issue...

in response to ralph johns suggestion to delete the buddy list file from my library to solve the outdated status message problem...
RJ- haha.. i'm not sure i'm going to try the "beat it with a stick" approach quite yet.. i think i found out whats causing the problem. when i would use iChat on campus using our school's wireles, i didnt have the problem of outdated status messages. but when i come home, i do.. and i believe the reason is because i'm using a Belkin G Wireless router. although i do hard line, i'm almost positive this is the problem. i did some research online and it isnt one of the approved routers for iChat.
so is my only option to buy a new compatible router to solve the problem? or is there somewhere i can go that can tell me what ports to open for a belkin router?? we're getting close... i can feel it!!! haha thanks..

Hi Anders,
in order to quickly fix that problem, I would just adapt the provisioning function where the warning shows up and make sure that the function uError is called so that an error is created instead of a warning.
Are you using the SAP Provisioning Framework or a custom provisioning framework. Which repository are you using?
Best regards
Holger

Notas parando em status 3 Assinado sem status de erro e sem lote.

Bom dia NF-e Gurus,
Estou enfrentando um problema em nosso ambiente XI/PI de dev onde as notas estão ficando paradas com status 3, sem status de erro e não estão sendo atribuídas a um lote. O job com /XNFE/PROCESS_REPORTS está rodando com sucesso.
O ultimo lote criado a dois dias atrás, está com status 3 e erro 70 código 215.
No monitor de status de serviço SEFAZ, todos os serviços estão verdes.
Já alterei na tabela /XNFE/NFE_HIST algumas notas para o status 2 código 28 mas elas retornam para o status 3 e ficam paradas.
Onde posso obter mais informações (logs) sobre o problema ou o que pode estar causando este erro?
Obrigado desde já.
Raphael Maciel

Bom Dia Pessoal,
Na verdade o problema que o Raphael estava tendo era por que não havia uma configuração de lotes para o tipo de contingência (Tipo 2)
Na tabela NFEHD tínhamos notas tipo 2 e tipo 1 porém só tínhamos o cadastro para o tipo 1.
Cadastramos a configuração do tipo 2 e tudo está rodando OK.
Henrique
Passamos por uma situação interessante que só descobri debugando o código.
O códgo entrou em loop infinito por não tem a configuração do tipo 2 na BATCUS.
No collect_batch form CHECK_BATCH nós temos o seguinte código
Ensure that all remaining NFes will send
      WHILE NOT lt_next_batch IS INITIAL.
        PERFORM close_batch   USING lt_next_batch
                           CHANGING lv_size
                                    lv_quant
                                    lt_next_batch.
      ENDWHILE.
No form Close_batch ele testa se o tamnho dos arquivos não superou o tamanho permitido (informação que ele colhe da batcus através do tipo de nota)
Como ele não tinha o tipo de contingência na BATCUS, para as notas de tipo 2, ele estava utilizando o registro zerado da BATCUS, assim ele nunca sai deste loop.
Interrompemos o programa que já estava rodando no COLLECT_BATCH a 4 dias, cadastramos o tipo na BATCUS (Através do Portal Web) e ele não travou mais.
Grande Abraço
Rapha, Pode fechar o tópico ?

Thread Status Icon Problem

Hi,
A problem that I have been facing for quite a while now is that several threads appear with the status icon which means that "Threads whose contents have changed since my last visit (semi orange icons)" but the issue is that I have never visited those threads. So how come they are marked with such a status (they should just be white icons).
Please check this out
Regards

A problem that I have been facing for quite a while

icon which means that "Threads whose contents have

the issue is that I have never visited those threads.
So how come they are marked with such a status (they
should just be white icons).Mmmm shouldn't then they be orange if youv'e never visited them?
OK I also sometimes have problems, I log in and got a big list of unread or semi-unread threads. And suddenly somewhere in the middle of all them one or two that are white showing that I've completely read them. But it is not possible, unless of course someone other is not working under my account which I hope is not true ;)
Probably someone just edited the post and it doesn't mean that thread has been updated?
Anyway to be frank for me this possible bug is on a very low priority because it happens quite rare and the problems coming out of this are quite tiny. I'd classify this bug as "cosmetic" ;)

Hi,
Performance management programs are used to align an organization with its strategic goals and tactical objectives. At the center of any performance management program is a framework on which the various alignment programs (measurement, goal setting, compensation, and investments) are focused. Historically, financial frameworks such as ROI or the annual budget have dominated. More recently, new performance management frameworks have evolved around quality, shareholder value, customer satisfaction, business processes, and core competencies.
While each of these perspectives is important to the success of a business, each represents only a small part of a broader picture. To manage only one of these perspectives is to invite sub-optimization. The only logical focus for a performance management program is strategy. Leveraging the concept of the Balanced Scorecard the SAP Strategic Enterprise Management process puts strategy at the center to create strategic focus and strategic alignment and to enable organizations to translate strategy into action.

User Status change problem in Process Order

Hi,
We are in process of upgrading our system from 4.6C to ECC 6.0. I have a problem with User status change for process Orders.
In 4.6C we are using the profile x with settings:
10     ZNEW     Created process order     10     90     1     1     ZSTA
20     ZLCK     Locked process order     20     90     1     1     ZREV
30     ZOPN     Reopened process order     20     90     1     1     ZOPN
40     ZMST     MES order started     20     90     1     1     ZMST
50     ZMCL     MES order closed     20     90     1     1     ZMCL
90     ZTEC     Technically completed      20     90     1     1     ZTEC
In ECC 6.0 we also use the same profile settings as above.
The problem is in ECC 6.0 when I do a goods receipt the User status changes to ZTEC . The process followed is ..Create process order, Release Order, Goods issue, Phase partuial confirmations, Goods receipt and then Finla confirmations of phases. Now in 4.6C if i do the above process the User status remains at ZMST and it only changes to ZTEC when i technically complete the order but in ECC 6.0 when I do a goods recipt from above steps the User status changes to ZTEC. THis should not happen.
Any pointers will be very helpful.

Hi,
The log for production order preliminiary costing is not saved. Therefore, once the order is saved, there is no log available anymore (this is by the way a question of PP; none of the logs is saved).

Lenovo 3000 N500 23G Battery Status LED problem.

I am having problems with the Battery Status LED on my new laptop. The LED turns blue at around 22-30% charge and the Hardware manual indicates it should be 95%, also the LED remains lit when fully charged on battery power when it should be off. The biggest problem is that I have no idea on when the battery is charged and I should not need to boot into windows to check this.
I have already returned an identical model to the retailer for the same reason, they did confirm that the unit was faulty and send me another which seems to have the same suspected fault.
Has any one else have the same problem as me, I am not too sure if I should return the 2nd unit for a refund and look elsewhere?
I did contact Lenovo support before and was advised to get it repaired under warranty, I did not need to do this as the unit is less than 30 days old and I wouldbe entitled to a refund or replacement.
Below is an excerpt from the manual I downloaded from this website.
Thanks, Mark.
Blue: The battery is charged to 95% or more of its capacity.
Blinking blue: The battery is being trickle-charged
Orange: The battery is being normally charged
Off: The computer is operating on battery power, and the battery has enough power
Blinking orange: The computer is operating on battery power, and the battery is charged to no more than 8% of capacity.)

The battery is going to fail on this unit; actually it is a defect in the circuit built into the battery the detects charge level. It has been happening quite frequently with IBM/Lenovo batteries these days. If you have warranty left, get the unit in for repair or you will be out of luck like the rest of us who bought these units with failure prone batteries and a poor excuse for product quality. If you care to help your fellow Lenovo owners, call, email, write, picket, jump up and down, do what ever you have to do to voice your concern and complaint to as high a person as you can at IBM and Lenovo. We have to keep the heat on at a corporate level at both IBM and Lenovo, to remind them that there is a price to pay for the fact that they do not care about their customers.

Help for Lyrics in Score problems.

Words will not stay in alignment with notes above them, when the next word is added. If I try to correct or adjust the position the notes will then move away. If I ignore the movement I can finish up with some measures two or three times the required size. Also the cursor disappears after "tabbing" the entries, forcing re-use of the lyric box quite often and it is completely impossible to insert words with more than one syllable which would need to be hyphenated. What am I doing wrong? or is it the program at fault? I used to have no problem with Notator on an Atari, and other programs on a PC.
At least I don't have hackers with my Mac Pro.

I guess I'm just asking for too much --- I don't know what it should be called but it should be trivial to simply type text and use the spacebar to line words up with notes, and be able to type an entire line of lyrics in one go. If the program wants to "convert" what was typed into some more sophisticated representation so that it can retain the alignment later as notes move, that's fine .... but don't make it the user's problem.
I'm afraid you're going about this all wrong. And you're missing the entire point of the lyric entry function, which is to apply/assign/connect each word or syllable to individual notes. You don't enter in an entire line of lyrics at once -- you enter them one at a time. Let's take the lyric, "Stars never shone so bright" as seen in this screenshot:
!http://www.score2picture.com/L9pix/stars.jpg!
So let's say you typed in the entire line at once -- as you'd like to do. How would Logic know which note each word or syllable is supposed to be attached to? Should it magically figure out that you want the word "stars" to be sung over two notes instead of one?
See?
I dunno, but I sense a lot of frustration in your posts, and I think it has to do with not having read the manual. Short of that, I've already explained to you in my several posts how lyric entry works, and how you can make it work.
But just to be a bit more complete about it, you don't have to drag drag drag drag drag the lyric entry 'symbol' to the score each time. You drag it ONCE, and then hit TAB after you type in the first lyric/syllable. TAB advances the lyric entry function to the next note. And so on.
OR, if you mess up and lyric entry stops, either:
• drag the lyric symbol again and continue, OR...
• assign the pencil tool to the CMD key. Hold CMD and select "lyric". If you mess up, simply hold CMD and pencil in a new lyric entry start point.
Basic techniques. RTFM. But if you're not willing to accept these simple paradigms then you should probably look to some other software.

Status light problem

I'm not sure if anyone else has had this problem, or if there is even a fix for it but here goes. On my 8330 I have this strange problem with the blinking status light. Whenever I turn my phone off (at night, or to recharge), then turn it back on the status light will work for a while and then stop. I have to go into options/screen (or whatever it's called) and change the status light option to "off", then save my change (which by the way makes the status light start blinking again), then change it back to "on" then save the change and all worked fine until I power it off (at which point I have to go though the whole convoluted process again). This is not that big of a deal (just kind of a pain in the butt to have to do all the time). Any help would be appreciated.
John K Waggener

Hi and welcome to the forums!
On the status light what color are you referring to?
Green is the coverage indicator
Blue is Bluetooth
Red is the message indicator
Amber is the low battery/charge indicator.

CFP-DO-401 status indicator problem

Hello
We use compact field point controller for one of our hydraulic test stands.
And cFP-DO-401 is configured for sequence of boolean operations for all the 16 channels.
The problem is during testing, status indicators are turned off but internally the relay still on , so operation gets failed.
When i checked for cause, some of transistors in the cFP-DO-401 got short circuited.
I want to know what might be the root cause of the failure or problem.
Thanks

I would just like to add that the correct URL to the KnowledgeBase link that Dirk posted is here:
