Synchronisation of two tables in an APO planning book view

If one has 2 separate tables/grids in an APO planning book data view, is there a way of making them move synchronously, so that if the user moves say x buckets in a direction then this applies to both tables?
Thanks for any advice...

Unfortunately no but would be very interested to know if someone has come up with any enhancement (has to be GUI related).

Best practices for loading apo planning book data to cube for reporting

Hi,
I would like to know whether there are any Best practices for loading apo planning book data to cube for reporting.
I have seen 2 types of Design:
1) The Planning Book Extractor data is Loaded first to the APO BW system within a Cube, and then get transferred to the Actual BW system. Reports are run from the Actual BW system cube.
2) The Planning Book Extractor data is loaded directly to a cube within the Actual BW system.
We do these data loads during evening hours once in a day.

Hi GK,
What I have normally seen is:
1) Data would be extracted from APO Planning Area to APO Cube (FOR BACKUP purpose). Weekly or monthly, depending on how much data change you expect, or how critical it is for business. Backups are mostly monthly for DP.
2) Data extracted from APO planning area directly to DSO of staging layer in BW, and then to BW cubes, for reporting.
For DP monthly, SNP daily
You can also use the option 1 that you mentioned below. In this case, the APO cube is the backup cube, while the BW cube is the one that you could use for reporting, and this BW cube gets data from APO cube.
Benefit in this case is that we have to extract data from Planning Area only once. So, planning area is available for jobs/users for more time. However, backup and reporting extraction are getting mixed in this case, so issues in the flow could impact both the backup and the reporting. We have used this scenario recently, and yet to see the full impact.

Secure APO Planning book by location

Hello All - I am hoping you can help me. I have been trying to find a way to secure updates to a shared planning book in DP by Sales-Org. The Sales-Org in our environment is a "navigational attribute" and not a "characteristic". I tried creating a custom object using RSSM to no avail. I found some documentation that said you could use a user exit or BAdi method "SELECTION CHECK' (/SAPAPO/SDP_SELECTOR) to run additional authorization checks. I need to know whether this method could be used to secure a _Navigational Attribute?_ If so, what information do I need to provide to the developer to implement this exit?

Hi,
You would be able to tackle this partially by adding a new hidden key figure.
Refer the example below;
Kfig1. Stat forecast: Calculated using stat forecasting
Kfig2. Adjusted forecast: user normally changes this
Kfig3. Hidden copy of Adjusted forecast:
Using macros copy 1st snap shot of stat forecast to Adjusted and Hidden. once adjustments are done, use Macro to compare Adjustments and Hidden copy of original values, or this can be a overnight batch job to generate alerts
Hope this helps.

Planning Book View

Hi Experts
I need your valuable advice on the following requirement:
We are using APO DP , as my users are interested to have Web based screen for the planning book by using ABAP Dynpro instead of Interactive Demand Planning.
I have following queries with regard to the above requirment:
1) Can Users can generate Statistical forecast in the web Screen and play around with the Strategies , forecast Accuracy Measurements?
2) Can users can drill down product with all levels of detail?
If any other restrictions please let me know.
Your advice is highly appreciated.

Hi Kanth,
This is possible to implement Web based screens for the planning book by using ABAP Dynpro instead of Interactive Demand Planning.
using MVC
It is possible to your specification

APO DP planning books - use of 2 grids in view

I am using APO DP V5.
I know that it's possible to have 2 grids in a planning book view.
Can anyone give good examples of where 2 grids have been found to be useful?
Would it be possible to have 1 grid for 'forecast' and 1 grid for 'history'?
Thanks,
Bob Austin

The definition of two grids in a data view (not sure if you mean that by planning book view) is only possible when creating a data view for the first time. Once a data view is created you cannot add the second grid as the Table 2 option is grayed out under Title section of Data View tab.
Good example of using 2 grids is while using DP BOM functionality and also in those cases where the top grid keyfigures are to be drilled down but the bottom grid keyfigures remain at aggregate level. So if you want to compare the forecast numbers in detail with the total budget then use the total budget keyfigure in Grid 2. Remember while drilling down, keyfigures in Grid 2 are not drilled down.
In you case of having forecast in one grid and histroy in another can be effective since the data in the keyfigures are in two different time horizons. But remember if you have history in Grid 2 then the data will be aggregate (assuming you have loaded multiple CVCs) and will not be drilled down which the Forecast keyfigure in Grid 1 is drilled down to lower levels.
Hope this helps.

How to CREATE VIEW to merge two tables each of which has CLOB-typed column

I failed in creating a view to merge two tables that have CLOB-type column each.
The details are:
Database: Oracle 9i (9.2.0)
Two tables "test" and "test_bak", each of which has the following structure:
ID Number(10, 0)
DUMMY VARCHAR2(20)
DUMMYCLOB CLOB
The following operation fails:
create view dummyview (id, dummy, dummyclob) as
select id, dummy, dummyclob from test
union
select id, dummy, dummyclob from test_bak;
I was announced:
select test.id, test.dummy, test.dummyclob
ERROR in line 2:
ORA-00932: inconsistent data type: required - , but CLOB presented.
But if creating views from only ONE table with CLOB-type columns, or from two tables WITHOUT CLOB-typed columns, the creation will succeed. The following 1) and 2) will succeed, both:
1) one table, with CLOB-typed column
create view dummyview (id, dummy, dummyclob) as
select id, dummy, dummyclob from test;
2) two tables, without CLOB-typed columns
create view dummyview (id, dummy) as
select id, dummy from test
union
select id, dummy from test_bak;
I want to merge the two tables all, with complete columns, how to write the CREATE VIEW SQL statement?
many thanks in advance

Dong Wenyu,
No.
But you could do this:
SELECT source.*, nvl (tab1.clob_column, tab2.clob_column)
FROM your_table1 tab1, your_table2 tab2, (
SELECT primary_key, ...
FROM your_table1
UNION
SELECT primary_key, ...
FROM your_table2
) source
WHERE source.primary_key = tab1.id (+)
AND source.primary_key = tab2.id (+)
In other words, do the set operation (UNION (ALL)/INTERSECT/MINUS) on just the PK columns before pulling in the LOB columns.

Join two tables TPAR, TVPG

Dear Gurus,
I am a functional Consultant and do not know the ABAP.
I want to know that is there any way to join two tables (TPAR, TVPG) and extract the filed PARGR from table "TVPG" and field ERNAM from Table "TPAR" into a third table.
Wishes
Abhishek

Hi,
it´s complicated, because you must identify what you whant to relacionated....
view... V_TPAR you can see up level partner function...
is the best i can do.sorry.
but if you identify the element between the two tables, you can do a Z* view.
reguards,
Miguel
If this message help you , dont forget to give point´s. thanks

Merging two tables to a view

I have two tables that I merge into one view.
All rows from the two tables to be merged into one view.
Table 1 no criteria:
MATERIAL     PLANT     QUANTITY     UNIT     POSTING_DATETable 2 with criteria:
MATERIAL     PLANT     SALES_QUANTITY     UNIT     POSTING_DATE     RECORD_TYPE
Where RECORD_TYPE IN('O','U')The view should look like this:
MATERIAL     PLANT     QUANTITY     UNIT     POSTING_DATEI'm going nowhere, what do I do?

Hi,
Perhaps you want something like this:
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW table_1_and_ou_from_2
AS
SELECT     material, plant,       quantity, unit, posting_date
FROM     table1
UNION ALL
SELECT     material, plant, sales_quantity, unit, posting_date
FROM     table2
WHERE     record_type     IN ('O', 'U')
;The columns in the view will have the same names as the columns in the 1st branch of the UNION, so the 3rd column will be called quantity, not sales_quantity.
I hope this answers your question.
If not, then, as mentioned above, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all tables involved, and also post the results you want from that data (that is, the contents of the view).
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using (e.g., 11.2.0.2.0).

Planning book connected to Selection ID

Hi,
Is there a standard transaction or table to know the planning book connected to a selection ID?
The requirement here is...i need to change a selection ID, but not sure about the planning book!!!
Any ideas??

Hi,
Go to txn /sapapo/mc77
On the left column choose Master Sel.org. in Profile, Select any planning book belonging to a planning area,
On the right column in Reference, choose All Selection IDs.
This will list all selection ids for that particular planning area irrespective of planning books.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Data selection not showing in Planning book

Hi everybody,
We were using one info cube on APO side and so from cube the data will be shown in the APO planning book..
Now we modifed the cube on APO by adding new infosource and new mappings from BW side with data marts.. I can see the data is successful loaded to cube, but the slection it self is not showing.. i dont see anything related to cube and so i couldnt run the planning book.. My point is data is available in cube bu planning book now have no data...it is not showing any data..
thanks
arya

There might be few things you should probably check
1) In the planning object structure just activate the POB. through the context menu.
2) I think you might have assigned the Infocube into the Planning areas as Infocube Fed key figures. Make sure that all the characteristics remain the same. There might be inconsistency between the char of the new Cube and the already existing PA.
3) Create time series to the PA or perform initialization of the PA.
4) Try creating a CVC manually and see if it allows to create.
Atleast now you should be able to see the key figures in the Planning Area.
Let me know if it works.

Delete Planning Book

Hi All,
I created planning area and planning books for testing. Since they were not required anymore I decided to delete all. I assumed that when I delete planning area it deletes planning book as well. but that did not happen. Now planning area is deleted but i still see planning book in interactive planning.
Please let me know how do I delete this planning book since when try using standard planning book T code to delete it give me error message " planning area does not exists"
Regards,
Harshil Desai

Thanks all for your response.
@ Aparna: When you delete planning area system deletes all dependent objects like planning book/data view.
In my case when I deleted planning area, system did not delete planning books because planning book/data view was locked by status "change by author only".
@ Rajesh: Awarding full points for hint. I could have delete the record completely but I took different rout be changing user name in table entry for respective planning book and then I deleted planning book from standard planning book transaction.

Rename & deletion of planning book & Data view

Hi Experts,
Is it possible to rename & deletion of planning book & Data view, if yes what is the procedure.
Also suggest if hiding of same is possible

Hello jrd333
You can delete planning book/data view via transaction /SAPAPO/SDP8B
There you can choose PB/DV that needs corrections.
Also you maybe need to deactivate your planning area to wich this PB is assigned.
You can do this in transaction /SAPAPO/MSDP_ADMIN
This things is related to custom Planning Books/Views.
