Using strandard BW hierarhy in BPS planing layout

Hi,
I would like to use standard hier on 0Costcenter in the BPS planning layout.
The hier is loaded with DataSource 0COSTCENTER_0101_HIER from ERP.
I would need also hierarchy nodes to be posting enabled, not just the costcenters included.
How to make that?
Is it possible to organize the same hier with external characteristics (should be also loaded from ERP).
I tried to follow some hints in other SDN posts, but the result is always without option to post on the nodes too.
I would argentite any help.
BR Tom

Hi Tom,
cost center hierarchies from ERP are ususally represented in BW as hierarchies with text nodes, i.e. the 'cost center groups' are text nodes. A hierarchy with postable nodes is (by definition) a hierarchy were also the inner hierarchy nodes are values of the hierarchy base characteristic (in your case the cost center).
So you need a mechanism to create cost centers from the text nodes contained in the ERP cost center hierarchy and then to create a corresponding BW hierarchy with postable nodes (where the text nodes are replaced by the new created cost centers).
In BPS planning layouts and in BW reports the inner postable nodes always have leaf with the same value (this value is really posted to the cube). These values will be 'generated' on the fly (and can be suppressed in BW reports if you like).
The following may be helpful:

  • BPS planing layouts

    Hi Gurus,
    this might be the repeat question,
    can you please provide documentation, how to change , edit and create the planing layouts, in real time scenarios ,step by step procedure,plz send to [email protected]
    i am sure points will be rewarded..
    Thanks,

    Real time example of layout? Asssume so and here is a simple one.
    Sales planning.
    You have transactional cube with product, customer, fiscal period, fiscal year and key figure as amount. MAke sure, you have some master data alerady available in the info objects customer, product. Create a planing area and assign this cube to the area. Create a level under this area and choose all the characteristic and key figure ( push from the bottom to the top). Go to selection tab in the level. In fisca year year enter 2007 and in fiscl period enetr 001.2007 to 012.2007, under customer, put a drop fown and select whatever customet name comes there and the same for product. Create a package for this and hit save.
    Follow the steps i said in my other posting on how to get to the layout.
    Keep fiscal year in header, product in the lead column, customer in lead column, amount in data column. Go to the last screen and save.
    Refer to my other reply and enter enter data.

  • Changes are not reflected into SEM-BPS 1 layout.

    Hi,
    1st, I've included code in SAPAfterDataPut that copies data from SEM-BPS 1 into New Sheet.
    Now, I've inserted a method in the sheet module of New Sheet. This method takes care of reflecting changes from New Sheet into SEM-BPS 1 layout. but, finally am not getting changes back to SEM-BPS 1 sheet.
    I've tested this in excel (outside of BPS) and it works fine.
    in BPS, I went into VB debugging mode (after inserting a break point) and I can see that change that has been made in New Sheet was reflected back to SEM-BPS 1. But, when i test the same out of debugging mode, am not getting the same result.
    Looks like,after changes in New Sheet, SAPAfterDataPut is again being executed and is overwriting the changes that I made in new sheet.
    Do i need to inlclude code only in SAPBeforeDataPut to reflect changes from new Sheet into SEM-BPS 1?
    In excel (outside of BPS), this method works in such a way that, as soon as i make changes in Sheet2 will get reflected into Sheet1 without runnning any macro.
    but, with same code, this doesn't work in BPS. (instead of reflecting changes to SEM-BPS 1, changed value in New Sheet is reverted back to original value that is same as the value in SEM-BPS 1)
    Appreciate any ideas/thoughts on this.

    Hi,
    Usually you work with a second sheet in the following way: write a macro that copies the data from the SEM-BPS 1 sheet to the new sheet. In order to run that macro include it into the macro "SAPAfterDataPut" and set the flag in the check box of in the popup of the third screen of the layout builder. The system will call the macro after the data has been written to the sheet SEM-BPS 1.
    There is a second predefined macro that the system will executed provided that the flag is set on the popup in the layout builder. This macro is called "SAPBeforeDataGet". It is called before the BPS reads data from the SEM-BPS 1 and should be used for transferring the data back to the first screen (similar to the coding you have done in SAPAfterDataPut). Using this macro should solve your problem.
    I did not understand how the changes are transferred from the new sheet in your (stand alone) case. Unfortunately it sometimes does make a difference if you test a macro in a stand alone Excel or in the Excel inplace. Some features are disabled in Excel Inplace (by Microsoft!!).

  • Validate mandatory field in BPS Excel layout

    Hi Sdner
    In my BPS Excel layout i want to have some characteristic as mandatory.If i don't put any value for them system will put a # by default which i don't want. system should prompt a error message that particular field is mandatory and enter some value. I can check this thru planning function(FOX) but the problem is all characteristics in that row will greyed out after function execution and hence can't be changed by user.
    Does somebdy know if there is any workaround to solve this ?
    Thanks
    Tripple k

    Hi Tarun
    Use XL macros to validate data in a column.
    When macro executes it first unprotect the worksheet,then we have our custom code for validation and error message, after that it is followed by a  protect sheet command.
    My Prob is that if error is there in any field raised by macro, user should be able to edit those fields but as we are protecting our worksheet in macro, editing is not possible.
    I can't unprotect the worksheet because then user can change anything.
    +Use a read function module on planning layout. While you are in layout change mode use lbexit_fm as a transaction code. You can read data from planning layout and write validation code and error message in ABAP function module.+_
    I  used this Tcode and FM, but they are ment to read Non SAP area of Excel sheet. The actual layout(Data Record)(SAP Area) which we want to read is not coming in internal table while executing FM.
    On Execution it is saying that reading and writing on SAP protected data is not allowed.
    If you have done any of these workaround then can you please put some more lights on this ?
    Thanks

  • Modeling BPS excel layout

    Hello,
    Could anybody explain me, how can i insert into BPS excel layout excel and Visual Basic functionality (buttons, graphics, formulas)?
    All my worksheet's rows are locked.
    Could you send me docs about SEM BPS modeling?
    Thanks in advance.
    Best Regards,
    Arunas Stonys

    Hello Arunas,
    you can make your changes on the third screen of the layout builder; if you save the planning layout these changes will be saved in the Excel template of the planning layout.
    Usually (dependind on the changes) it may be more convenient to download a copy of the master template and implement your changes there. Then you can checking the Excel file as an Excel template for the planning layout, e.g. with report UPP_LAYOUT_CHECKIN, cf. note 428092.
    Be careful with data in the Excel template: In the 'SAP area' the Excel templates contains no data (the dummy data
    you see in the third screen of the layout builder will be cleared when you save the layout). Data in the SAP area will be overwritten at run time with transaction data, but the size of the SAP area (e.g. the number of used rows) of course depends on the transaction data.

  • Deleting lines in SEM-BPS Excel Layout

    Within our BPS excel layout, if a user selects a line and deletes it, it only deletes the planned values in the key figures.  It doesn't completely remove the line from the layout unless the user restarts the layout.  We've tried checking and resumming, but these do not remove the line.  Is there a way to delete a line and have it completely disappear without having to restart the layout?

    Hi Lee,
    you wrote:
    If you select and delete, that line will disappear.
    Does this happens even after characteristic values are protected?
    Afte a line has been entered in BPS layout,
    I can delete the entire line provided I've not executed any planning funciton / saved into cube. (at this point, characteristics are not protected)
    If I do execute any planning funciton / saved into planning cube, at this point I doubt if one should be able to delete the entire line (both characteristics & key figures) (at this point, characteristics are protected & doesn't allow to delete the same manually)
    at this point, to delete the line including protected characteristics, we will have to use delete funciton.
    if am wrong, I'm also interested to know your solution.

  • How to open a Query in BPS Web-Layout

    Hello,
    i am new to BPS. How can I open a Query in BPS Web-Layout so that I can enter plan data manually??
    Pls give me the procedure and not links to help.sap.com. Thanks.
    pls help,
    SD

    Hi.
    You can open bex query in BPS Web Layout, but you should update data via BPS layout.
    In BPS Bex query can be opened only for display as long as BPS doesn't allow input via query (only BI7+IP).
    In BPS Web Interface builder add subcomponent "text", set HTML=TRUE, goto property "text", press F4->edit long text and enter HTML tags IFRAME with URL of bex query.

  • Send a mail use FM 'so_object_send' with a Script form layout

    Hi,
    I try to send a mail use FM 'so_object_send', is it possible to use a sap script form for the layout?
    Please give more details....

    Hi,
    Did you debug and check this function module 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1' ?
    As you said its giving you a sy-subrc = 2, did you check at what stage it is giving you an error ?
    Also, Commit work = 'X' has nothing to do with this as you are getting an error of Sy-subrc = 2.
    Also, while debugging are you getting the email address fetched from database table ? If no, then the sender's email has not been maintained. You will have to maintain the sender's email in the user details in SU02 under Address tab.
    I would recommend you to go for BCS to send emails wherein you specify the sender email address directly in the program rather than adding email address in every user's logon details.

    Danish.

  • Loading Master data into BPS through layouts

    Hi SAP Gurus,
    Is it possible to load the master data into BI-BPS through layouts(in BI 7.0
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards
    Pradeep

    Hi Pradeep,
    if its combination of charactertics & keyfigures, then you need to load master data in Info objects(Characterstics) and for key figures you can load directly in the layout, once you save it , these values get saved back in Cube.
    Hope this helps

  • ERROR in BPS Planning layout

    Anyone got a clue??
    We have characterstic txt. values exceeding 20 characters - resulting in an error in the BPS planning layout: <i>Characteristic value not valid</i>.
    The planning layout only takes 20 characters - need it to take more - we have characteristic values with 30 char length. What can we do?
    John

    Hi Mike,
    Thank U for your response - The masterdata is maintained and the planning layout in question has been working before. We just recently upgraded to BW 3.5 and then masterdata characteristics with value exeeding 20 characters the planning layout does not recognize. This results in an invalid error statement.
    Is there a SAP Note that can handle this or do I have to make an OSS?
