STS Limitation for Multi Planning Areas

Is there a problem when using multi planning area based applications in the STS?
Thanks
Tim

Hi
in SAP-libary under Customizing the Status and Tracking System /Prerequisites you have the following text:
The planning area of the characteristics and key figures that you access in the Status and Tracking System must be a basic planning area. You cannot use multi-planning areas in the Status and Tracking System.
Hope this helps

Problem in developping Multi Planning area

Hi, experts,
I have a question regarding as the multi planning area ->
I have created a mullti planning area which include two basis area:
A for plan data (transactional cube)---> Charateristic: Material, 0CALYEAR/ KF: Price
B for actual data (non-trans cube)---> Charateristic: Material, Fiscal year/period/ KF: Quantity
My requirement is:
I would like to display the the quantity for a certain material for Fiscal year/period= [001.2009,012.2009] from Cube B, at the same line, i should be able to input the Price for 0CALYEAR 2010 into Cube A.
My question is:
how should I define the value of these two characteristics which restrict these two KF respectively ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
As per my experience,you get this error message "Characteristic combinations cannot be assigned to any basic area",only when you have any characteristic present in one cube and not in another and then you try to post some values for it in the cube where it doesn't exist.With your example I guess there could be an issue with 0CALYEAR and Fiscal year/period.
Secondly you cann't post data to non transactional cubes which I guess you are trying to do so ,when you say post in same line mean the granularity of the record which you want to write can be like:-
FrmCubeA/BFrmCubeBFrmCubeAFrmCubeBFrmCubeA
Material1Fiscal year/period0CALYEARQuantityPrice
The above scenario where u are trying to get the data from both the cubes and post value to Cube A for price is not possible,as cube is non-transactional cube.
You can Include the Fiscal year/period and quantity in your real time cube CubeA ,copy the data using multiprovider into CubeA from CubeB for material and then u can plan price.
FrmCube AFrmCube AFrmCubeAFrmCubeAFrmCubeA
Material1Fiscal year/period0CALYEARQuantityPrice
Hope it may be helpful.

Multi-planning area when updating an infocube

Hi,
I work on a multi-planning area based on a transactionnal cube (C1) and a standard cube (C2). I have to add a characteristic in the standard cube.
Since this change, a planning level has problems : it is only used by calling a function module : API_SEMPS_GETDATA. This function returns no data whereas the cube contains data for the selection filters of the level.
It's all the more surprising as I have another multi-planning area based on another transactionnal cube (C3) and the same standard cube (C2), and for the level of this multi-planning area, the data are returned from the API_SEMBPS_GETDATA function.
The multi-planning area has not changed. I can't understand where the problem comes from.
Has anyone had already dealt with a problem like that?

Hi Agnes,
double check your selection criteria when you define the planning level or package. If you call API_SEMBPS_ADHOCPACKAGE_SET then selection needs to be passed in external representation which might be different in your case.

Reading data form multi planning area

Hi Guys,
I bulit planning function type Exit on the multi planning area. I need to get the data from two planning areas(Underlying infocubes)
but my exit functions is not reading data from second Infocube(Planning area), my requirment is i need to get the one Keyfigure value from the second infocube .
My formula is
If fistcube-charactric(Marketing spend) = secondcube -charcsterstic ( marketing spend)
     firstcube -keyfigure(CRM cost) = Firstcube-Keyfigure(CRMCIRC) * Secondcube -keyfigure(marketing spend rate).
the value for marekting spend rate is not getting populated , but i can see the keyfigure markeig spend in the structure.
Is there any other way i can get marketing spend keyfigure from the second infocube.
This part is not getting populated.
*Handling rate
   ElSEIF <xdata>-s_chas-ZMKTSPED = '0000486250'.
   tmp_z_mksrate = <xdata>-s_kyfs-z_mksrate.
<xdata>-s_kyfs-zcrmcost = tmp_zcrm_circ * tmp_z_mksrate.
i tried to debug but i couldn't find out anything.
if anybody has experinced please share your ideas.
How to get value from second infocbue.
Here i am adding my code.

Hello SG,
first you can simplify your code by just defining <t_xdata> TYPE /1sem/_yth_data_100ZCNA0001. (No need for the dynamic type assignment).
The data of your second InfoCube needs to be a subset of the selection in your planning package. Check that the second area is also selected for example. Use the criteria in LISTCUBE (on the corresponding MultiProvider) to check that the selection works. Execute the planning function with trace. This shows you what data was selected.

Generating data source for a planning area

Hi all,
I have a problem when generating a datasource for a planning area as it gives the following logs.
Activate table /1APO/EXT_STRUXXXXX
Tabble 1APO/EXT_STRUXXXXX was activated with warnings
and the data source is not being activated.
I have also created an entry in the table /SAPAPO/TSAREAEX and tried to activate the datasource for the planning area ,it is saying the datasource already exists.
Can anyone give me a straight solution for this.
thnks in advance.

Hi Satish,
After you generate the datasource, go to transaction /n/sapapo/sdp_extr and try doing a check on this datasource. If you still get those warning/error messages, try the Repair datasource option and see if it fixes the issue. In RSA1, replicate this datasource and then try activating it there and see if it works. Don't create an entry in the table /SAPAPO/TSAREAEX, as this is not a standard recommended way of doing it. Good luck

Mohammed.

Data source for a planning area

Hi Experts,
I have created a data source 9AZDP_APAP for my planning area ZDP_APAP. When I'm creating this data source, SAP itself prefixing my datasource name with '9A'.
I'm wondering is this ( Starting the data sorce name with '9A') with in our system only or with every system.
If it is with every system then is there anyway I can override this.
The reason why I'm asking this question is my data source is giving error " M version is different from A version' in RSA1, when I'm trying to activate my datsource I'm getting authorization error. When I contacted my security people on this they are telling I'm not following the naming standards. They are telling that the data source name should start with Z.
All the inputs on this will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Brahma Reddy

Hi,
Generating a data source on a planning area in APO is really very helpful function we have. this will help us to save a lot lot time to generate cube/rules/source.
Definately, when system generates the data source it will follow its own logic "9A" which we can not change.
I guess you create a DataSource manually if required, where you can follow your own logic, but that is not really consistent as system generates. becuase when it generates, it will check for time char and all based on storage bucket profile and generates.
Hope my information will help you in understanding the importance of auto generation of data source

Time Series Objects for a Planning Area

Hi all,
Can anyone let me know why do we create Time Series Objects for a Planning Area.
What is its Role & significance..
Regards,.
Vishal.S.Pandya

time series is usually a Demand planning concept(and used in SNP as well but in SNP its predominantly the order series that plays a main role)
time series is a general concept in statistics(and forecasting) wherein the value of a key figure is represented in a time bucket
Time series gives you an idea of the gradual change in the values by time and the relation of the future based on the past
planning area in APO (and other tools) tries to represent this as a 2 dimensional model with time on the columns and key figures in the rows. the value that you load into the cells that are formed by the above are based on the characterisitic values you choose from your MPOS which is linked to the way the values are stored in the planning area
The planning area stores data for each key figure in the smallest unit of time(technical storage buckets) and the lowest level of characterisitc value combination

How to use a non cumulative key figure in a multi planning area

Hi
I'm new to bps, my problem is
I need to read the last stock quantity and value at plant and material level to do further calculations in a fox formula, so i made a planning area for the cube 0rt_c36 and another for my tc cube where the results should go, then i combine these areas in a multiplanning area.
problems arise when selecting the key figure in the ratios tab of the multi area, the ratios 0CPTOTSTOBU (last stock) and 0CPTOTSTOPV (last stock purchase value) are not available, only the inflow and outflow ratios are 0CPTOTREBU and 0CPTOTREPV.
I know when reporting, the actual value for stock is calculated by bex, namely, there is no data store at database level, so the question is:
How to obtain last stock for using in bps??
thank you for any help
regards
A. Garduñ

Hi Azael,
In the How to Papers, you will find a Guide on how to take a Sanpshot view of the Stocks(How To Handle Inventory Management Scenarios in BW). Basically if you implement the Guide, you will have another cube called ICSNAP1, which will contain stock quantities /values at the end of each month. You will therefore have to take stock at the end of the last month from that cube and add up the relevant receipts and issues to arrive at the current Stock or Stock as on a particular date.
Hope this helps!

Problem in creating time series objects for a planning area

Hi Friends,
I am working on SCM 4.0 APO. I am trying to create the time series objects for a 'Z'planning area which i have created. This Planning area is linked to a planning object structure which contains only three characteristics 9amatnr,9alocno & zplnpart. But the creation of time series objects is taking a long time. the screen just remains the same.
Can anybody encountered such a problem any time?
request you all to put some light as what could be wrong or causing the delay in creating them???
All helpfull answers will be suitably rewarded.
Thanks
mvd

Hi mv d,
I have a couple of questions:
1) how many Key Figures does your planning area have?
2) what is the length of your time series horizon?
3) how many characteristic combinations are currently in the Planning Object Structure? and how many newly character
I am asking because these aspects might affect the running time of the time series creation. Have you also tried creating the time series in the background? How long did it take there?

Multi planning area

Hi Gurus,
I have no access to the system at the moment.
Can I create a new multiplanning area using an existing cube used in another multiplanning area already ?
Please advise.
Thanks
Sanjay

Dear sanjay,
as above mentioned, you can go for what you want exactly.
actually, for one cube you can have only one planning area.
with help of multiplanning area you can use the same cube multiple times.
hope this will help you.

B2B. Limitation for product catalog area

Hi,
Does product catalog has limitations?
Can i use any number levels for catalog area ?
Denis

I haven't seen an explicit limit. But I am guessing that it goes something like this:
The total sum of all the categories and sub-categories in all levels is not greater than 10,000.
Say if we have only two main categories, then we can go 5000 level deep in each main category (no more than one sub category at each level). Or if we have 5000 main categories, then we can go just one more level deeper at each category). In both the cases, the total categories + sub-categories is 10,000.
So, in theory we can have as many combination as you can imagine with in these limits.
More often, the limiting factor is the usability rather than the number of sub-categories.

Back up cube for report from planning area

Hi Gurus,
We are in implementation and i had seen that client wanted to see daily data and wanted to delete that data and load next day data.One more point is client even wanted monthly data as well in a same cube and this two facilities should be in single info cube.
How is is possible?
for further info we have calday and calmonth time Chart.
please suggest me some good ideas.
I will be verythankfull to your suggestions.
Thanks a Lot
Regards,
Raj

Hi Raj,
You can use SAP BW to create reports for the user. You have the option of using an external BW system or the BW system that is coupled with the APO server. If you have an external BW system, then it is recommended that you report from there. As you may know APO is an OLTP system and thus is configured for such. The external BW system will be configured for OLAP access and thus would be much more suitable for reporting purposes.
You may want create a SAP RemoteCube so that the data in your report is "as fresh as possible".
Here are the steps if you will be using the BW component in the APO system:
1) Create an export datasource for your planning area. (Transaction /n/SAPAPO/SDP_EXTR)
2) Create an InfoSource and attach the datasource your have created in step 1. (transaction RSA1 Modelling tab)
3) Create a SAP RemoteCube and attach your InfoSource and SourceSystem to that.
4) Create a BeX query and a BeX report (either in Web or Excel).
If you will be using an external BW system here are the steps:
1) Create an export datasource for your planning area in the APO system (Transaction /n/SAPAPO/SDP_EXTR)
In the external BW system:
2)replicate the datasource your have created.(transaction RSA1, Modelling tab, sourcesystems->choose the APO system->Right click->Replicate DataSources).
3) Create an InfoSource and attach the datasource that you have created in step 2. (transaction RSA1 Modelling tab)
3) Create a SAP RemoteCube and attach your InfoSource and SourceSystem to that.
4) Create a BeX query and a BeX report (either in Web or Excel).
Note that a RemoteCube is only suitable for few users only. If you will have many users, you need to create a Basic InfoCube instead.
In your BeX query, you can choose the granularity of your report. If you want your report to be aggregated to monthly level then be sure to include the 0CALMONTH InfoObject.
Please post again if things are not clear and I will be happy to help out.

Regenearate Planning area

Hi Friends,
Please calrify the following issue.
Let me explain my problem.
When we exucute the planning folder in the developement system we are getting short dump in the SAP generated program. It is running fine in the Quality and Production system.
I contacted SAP they suggested me follow the OSS note: 781371
SAP suggested me:
You regenerate the planning area which you are using in the planning
folder for which you are getting this dump.
OSS note: 781371 Steps:
1. Execute the UPC_DELETE_CLASSES function module in transaction SE37. The function module has the I_AREA parameter, which you must enter. Here you must enter the technical key of the planning area.
2. Execute the UPC_GENERATE_AREA function module in transaction SE37. The function module has the I_AREA parameter, which you must enter. Here you must enter the technical key of the planning area.
So my question is:
If i execute the both above function modules i need to give the plannin area.
So my planning folder is using the Multi planning area which includes 7 basic planning areas.
shall i proceed with thses steps or not.
My main concern is it is multi planning area . If i regenerate the multiplanning area does it any impact on others in other objects.
Please suggest me whether i can regenerate the multi planning area?
I f regenerate what are the things i need to take care before regenerating the multiplanning area?
Please suggest me how to handle this issue.
Please provide me your valuable suggestions.
It would be great help for me.
Will assign the points.
Thanks
SAP

If i execute the both above function modules i need to give the plannin area.
So my planning folder is using the Multi planning area which includes 7 basic planning areas.
shall i proceed with thses steps or not.
I suggest you execute this for the areas on which your objects in the folders are developed from; if they are from the multi areas, then run this is for multi area.
My main concern is it is multi planning area . If i regenerate the multiplanning area does it any impact on others in other objects.
It may.
I suggest you send a message back to SAP seeking whether to run the FM for the basic area or for multi area.

Planning area data not updated in infocube in APO system

Hi all,
User is uploading a flat file using addon program to an infocube 1, from this infocube data for sales forecast KF is getting transferred to a planning area KF using standard program RTS_INPUT_CUBE. I can see the updated data in Planning book (which refer the same planning area) data views. In planning book the sales forecast data is also getting copyied to second KF 'Arrangement FC' and its correct.
Now there is a infocube 2 (second) which is getting data directly from this planning area (infocube also contains both KFs). But When i checked this infocube 2 , the updated data is availabe in Sales forecast KF , but arrangement forecast KF is having old data only and user is running query on second KF , so he is getting wrong report.
Since there is no data flow for this infocube 2, and it is getting data from planning area, I feel its remote infocube.
I have also found the datasource for this planning area but don't know how to move further to find why data is not updating properly? Please help on this.
I have information that 2 weeks before data was properly updated, but this time data is not updated,
system version is SAP SCM 4.0

Hi Vivek
it is advisable to run the background jobs when the planning books are not being accesses by the users to prevent such inconsistencis. Hence i would advise you to run the jobs durng non-working hours. and if you have a global system, then you may restrict to run the jobs based on regional levels.
in addition, it is also a good practice to run consistency jobs before and after your have completed the background jobs. i hope you are using process chains to execute the sequeuce of jobs. if yes, then you can add consistency check jobs in the process chains.
some of the consistency check reports are :
/SAPAPO/OM17 - liveCache Consistency Check
/SAPAPO/TSCONS - Consistency Check for Time Series Network
/SAPAPO/CONSCHK - Model Consistency Check
and so and so forth..
you can find these conssistency jobs under APO Adiminstration --> Consistency checks in APO.
let me know if this helps.
