Work status and validation enquiry ..

hi,
i am using bpc 5.1 and i am trying to simulate a simple validation and work status update exercise, my settings are as followed:
work status setting:
account - no - validation
category - yes
datasrc - no - totaladj
entity - owner
intco - no - all_interco
rptcurrency - no - lc
time - yes
validation rules:
validation account - remark - validation operand - other - other - applicable periods - validation tolerance
validation - testing validation - = - blank - blank - 0
validation rules details:
validation account - account1 - flow1 - sign1 - account2 - flow2 - sign2 - remark
validation - sales - blank - 1 - cost - blank - 1 - testing validation
work status:
work state - dm ...docs - controlled by
unlocked - all ... all - both
submitted - all ... all - both
approved - all ... all - both
i am just trying to validate that my "sales" and "cost" entries are the same, i tried validating before and after submitting my data using evsen(10,"finance","sales) and evsen(10,"finance","cost") respectively with the other cv values being budget, input, worldwide1, non_interco, subtotal, lc - 2007.total1 - periodic.
i received the message "submitted data did not pass validation. you may need to resubmit data" on both ocassions.
any pointers?
cheers

I have 2 entities (companies) - C1111 and C1113.
I have the script logic for calculation keyfigures for this entities (it is automatic chain).
C1113  has entered the data and has locked it. When the C1113 will enter the data, the script logic will not been executed.
I have tested it and I have received that:
the script logic has broke when system has tried to write data into database after "Error Work Status check".
If I change the line of script logic as
*XDIM_MEMBERSET ENTITY = C1111,C1113
calculation for C1111 is executed.
Best Regards,
Svetlana.

  • Work Status and Default Logic

    Hi Experts,
    This query is for BPC 10.0 NW, default logic.
    Can work status be used to control for which region of data (namely which Year) default logic is executed?
    Is Default Logic executed for all data regions falling within the scope of the Logic Script Every Time any data is saved, or is it executed only for the data saved at that instance? 

    Hi Collin
    Work Status and Default logics are 2 Different paths but Default Logic will control whether given a period/Year Combination is Open"  All the Activities for assigned Model" would be performed in terms of Data Load and subsequent Activities that Includes Default Logic.
    Where as Default Logic is used for Calculating Retained Earnings and updating your data base in Balance Sheet Current Retained Earning Account as well as Out side Account from Chart of Account which is Total Sum of Income Statement Items.
    Ex:
    BPC Chart of Accounts/Account Dimension : BPCCOA
                       Total Balance Sheet:TBSACTS
                         Income Statement:INCSACTS (inthis groups Lets say 2199999 CYR)
                        BPC Special Account: 9999999
    When ever you execute Default Logic or Include Default logic into your applicable Script Logics.  BPC Default Logic would UPDATE 2 line Postings in the data base.
                     219999     XXXX
                     999999    XXXXX
    This ensure that your total Current Retained Earnings always match with Sum of Total Income Statement items for a Period/Year.
    Hope this will help you
    Thanks

  • Work Status and Script Logic

    Hello, gurus!
    Explain please situation with a script logic and work status of data.
    I have the script logic file, with code, for example:
    *XDIM_MEMBERSET UNIT = 19
    *XDIM_MEMBERSET AP_TR_SA = COMMON
    *XDIM_MEMBERSET C_DATASRC = MANUAL
    *XDIM_MEMBERSET RPTCURRENCY = USD
    *XDIM_MEMBERSET CATEGORY = PLAN,ACTUAL
    *XDIM_MEMBERSET ENTITY = C1113,C1111
    *XDIM_MEMBERSET TIME = 201007
    [#CF0700]=([AP_TR_ACCOUNT].[CF0612])-([AP_TR_ACCOUNT].[CF0611])
    *COMMIT
    Work status is established for (ENTITY=C1113; CATEGORY=ACTUAL,PLAN;TIME=201007) as Approved (data is locked).
    Will execute this logic for (ENTITY=C1111;CATEGORY=ACTUAL,PLAN;TIME=201007)? Should I divide this script logic for C1111 and C1113?

    I have 2 entities (companies) - C1111 and C1113.
    I have the script logic for calculation keyfigures for this entities (it is automatic chain).
    C1113  has entered the data and has locked it. When the C1113 will enter the data, the script logic will not been executed.

    calculation for C1111 is executed.

  • BPC: Work Status and Work Status Settings

    Hi experts,
    We have a little mess with the concepts: work status, work status settings and owner-manager in a dimension member of the dimension library.
    In which case de we have to use each of them? Are these concepts related? Do we have to configure all of them in order to block the data before they are revised in a BPF?
    Thanks in advance

    He,
    The thread was really good and almost solved all my duties, but there is still something that I don't understand. When we fix the work status, it can be controlled by the Owner and the Manager. Who is the manager and where do we configure its value.
    I think the manager is the reviewer in the properties of the dimension but I am not sure. Could you confirm me this subject?
    Thank you

  • Work status at application level

    Hi Team
    Can any one explain purpose of keeping dimension members in work status settings where dimensions are not relevent for work status at application level?

    Hi Miguel,
    You are comparing work status and the validation rules. However, these 2 are completely different functionalities.
    For maintaining validations, please take a look at the below links from help.sap:

  • BPC Work Status

    Hi guys out there, where the truth is...
    got a problem with the SAP BPC 70 netweaver work status and I don't know whether that is a bug, something I am overlooking or simply a non supported feature:
    When launching the Work Status (MNU_SUBMIT_MODIFY) from an active input schedule with an active Current View I will end up in the WEB where the work status settings can be done. So far so good.
    Then, two options are available:
    Either set the Work Status for the active Current View or for a different Current View, which would then have to be specified.
    And here is the issue:
    What's beeing considered (and displayed) in the WEB as active current view, is completely different to the active current view in BPC Excel. In fact, it consists of the members that show up as first in the selection list of a dimension.
    Question: is that the way it is supposed to be? Or is that behaviour subject to some settings in limbo or is that a bug?
    Thanks for your thoughts and ideas guys!
    Claus

    Hi,
    We had encountered this issue earlier. There is a fix for this in SP05 release. Please upgrade to BPC 7.5 NW SP05 for this. It is how it works in BPC 7.5 NW SP05.
    When you move from BPC Excel to BPC Web interface - The CV in Web interface is updated with the CV inherited from BPC Excel.
    The active CV option of the work status dimensions is also updated dynamically. It shows the values of the 'Active CV.
    If you want to set the work staus for a different or another CV, choose the option 'Another CV' then change the values for the work status dimension accordingly.
    Hope it is clear.
    Thanks

  • BPF an Work Status in BPC v10

    Hi averybody,
    I am working in a project of BPC v10 and i have a question i would like to solve. Specifically i want to know if the new version of SAP BPC allow you to associate a step of the BPF with a change of the work status strictly.
    Does anybody know something concerning this item? Any additional information about new functionalities of BPF and work status?
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi
    You can certainly do that. When you've created a set of work statuses and want to associate the work states to a BPF, you can associate with a setting for Related Action along with the Input you are providing to the suers (scrnsht below). I am not sure you can make it mandatory for the user to change work status setting, but you can allow a change in the work status.

  • Manage work status in BPC 7

    Hi experts,
    I would like to know if we can  manage work status in bpc excel. I have see that we can use evlck to get the status of the work status and we can use MNU_esubmit_modify to open the bpcweb page to modify work status.
    But I want to modify the workstatus in bpc excel.
    Do you have any solution ? with macro or other ?
    Thanks in advance

    Dear Janeth Sarai Ripert,
    I suggest you to update the work status using BPC Web. If you want to force it using macro, I will give you information likes as:
    1. SAP BPC will write the work status data into the table "dbo.tblfinancelock". It's for Finance Application
    2. If you want to directly write data into that table, please you use the uppercase format.
    3. SAP BPC never update data when the user updated that work status. SAP BPC will create one record.
    4. You only can update work status data directly but not for update sub menu at BPF
    Thanks,

  • How PO validity start and validity end works

    In the PO Header (tab Additional data), there are fields: validity start and validity end.  The help text states the following:
    Start of validity period
    Date as of which services can be performed or materials delivered.
    In the case of purchase orders:
    Start of the period in which the service is to be performed or thematerial delivered.
    End of validity period
    Date up to which services can be performed or materials delivered.
    In the case of POs:
    End of the period in which the service is to be performed or thematerial delivered.
    I maintained a validity date range 01/01/2007 to 01/10/2007.  When i tried to receive the item with posting date 01/15/2007, the system saved the GR without even a warning message that the GR was outside the PO validity date.
    How does this field work?  Is this standard configuration or does this only work with a user-exit?
    I would appreciate any input.
    Regards,
    Dominique

  • I have no column Member Validation in Work Status Settings.

    Hello,
    I have no column Member Validation in Work Status Settings.
    Regards,
    Miguel.

    Hello Miguel,
    As per the document mentioned by Dzmitry Lebedzeu, page 13 and page 39, there is no parity between Microsoft and Netweaver version regarding Member validation.
    We are going live with SP05 (or SP06 if it launches soon) and, so far, this functionality has not been implemented - we posted a message in OSS but the answer referred to the same document and the acknowledgement of the differences in the two versions.
    Best regards,

  • Member Validation in Work Status settings

    Hello,
    Within the workstatus set up on application level (work status settings) one can define an owner dimension in the work state column and also define which dimensions are relevant for work state by indicating 'yes'.  How this works is clear. But for the other dimensions indicated as 'no' one can define member validation, the meaning and function of this is not clear to me.
    Has somebody any idea what this is about?
    Many thanks!

    You can change the work status settings for each application. Changing the work status settings involves identifying three to five 'work status dimensions,' and then defining specific members for the remaining non-work status dimensions used for validation purposes. You must determine which account you will use for validation of the data at the time the work status is changed. The validation account must be ”0u201D at the intersection of the 3-5 variable members and the members designated for the non-work status dimensions.  If the account is not ”0u201D then the owner/manager cannot set the work status.  This is an option feature.
    The dimensions you select as the work status dimensions are the variables in your business process. For example, the entity, category, and time might change based on who is submitting data, but the account, data source, reporting currency, etc., remains static. (Typically, Time is a work status dimension since data is usually segregated based on time.)
    For example, lets say that you set Entity, Category, and Time as your work status dimensions for a given application. You then set your other current view members to the following:  Account: Validation; DataSrc: TotalAdj; Intco: All_Intco; and RptCurrency: LC. In addition to assigning work status dimensions, you also specify which dimension is the 'owner dimension.' The owner dimension includes the Owner property. The owner property determines who can edit a work status setting. The following figure shows this setup, where Entity is the Owner dimension.
    A user attempts to post data to the current view shown in the following table. The system checks the 'validation' account to make sure the intersection equals zero (0). If so, the data is posted, and a success message is displayed. The user can now set the work state to 'submitted' on that intersection. Subsequent submissions to that exact intersection will be rejected. Users can only send data to the same intersection if the Entity, Category, or Time member changes.
    You can find aove information in help file

  • Work Status Report Date and Time Setting

    Hi all
    We are running BPC10 on servers configured with Central European Time which is currently 2 hours ahead of GMT allowing for Daylight Savings Time.
    From what i can see in BPC10 date and times are now stored in GMT (Zulu time) in the Audit activity tables so when a user updates the work status at say 11:00AM local CET time then a value of 09:00AM GMT is stored in the Audit Activity Header table.
    We have a report in excel that uses the EVLCK formula and will return the correct value of 11:00 am however if we run the Work Status Audit report on the Planning and Consolidation home page with user preferences set to Central European Time +1 then the time is displayed as 10:00am suggesting that daylight savings time is not accounted for. We need to set the time to Eastern European time +2 hours to display the correct figure.
    Can anyone explain why this happens? Has DST been overlooked?

    Hi Alan,
    probably it's a bug, I think it's better you open an OSS message to SAP.

    Assuming that you can send email on the iPad, Maybe something is corrupt in Safari that is causing this. Try clearing Safari and see if the sites will accept your email address.

  • Work Status Setup

    Hi All,
    I have a question regarding basic work status setup for BPC 7.5 NW.
    When I set to Manager in Controlled by at Work Status, we can modify                                                               
    work status for the parent group.  
    Is the above statement true.                                                                               
    When I set to Owner in ControlledBy, we can modify the work status for                                                            
    base member, but cannot modify for the parent group until we finish                                                                
    changing the status for base member.                                                                               
    When I set to Manager in ControlledBy, we can modify the work status                                                              
    for parent group as well as the base member.
    What are your thoughts on these basic setups.
    Thanks,
    Krish.

    Hi Krish,
    There are few thumbrules, which we need to remember:
    1. The default method for managing work status is bottom-up. That is, the status of a parent cannot be higher than the status of its children.
    2. The maximum state a parent can be set to is the lowest state of its immediate children.
    3. If the status of a parent is set to Locked, you cannot unlock the children.
    4. The minimum state a child can be set to is the state of its immediate parent. For example, if the parent state is Submitted, the child state must be at least Submitted.
    5. The owner of an entity can set the work state to any state designated as an Owner state.
    6. The manager of an entity can set the work state to any state designated as a Manager state.
    7. A manager is the owner of a parent-level member. The owner of a parent level member is the manager of all its descendants.
    Now, coming back to your question:
    1. If the user is acting as an owner, they can select a work status controlled by Owner or Both.
    2. If the user is acting as an owner and the selected member has no parent, the user also acts as a manager (top of the hierarchy) and they can select a work status controlled by Owner, Manager or Both.
    3. If the user is the parent owner in the role of Manager, then they can use the Include All Children option (to push the work state to children). This option is not valid for a base member, the Owner role.
    Hope this helps.

  • Need clarification regarding Work status rule

    Hi All,
    I have a work state "Submitted" which is controlled by "owner".
    My work status is driven by following dimensions in the application:
    u2022Entity  - Owner dimension
    u2022Category
    u2022Time
    Entity hierarchy is as follows : A
                                                      |____B
                                                      |____C
    Now considering that user is owner of member "A", I set the work status to "Submitted". (Note: B and C does not have any owner)
    It gives error "controlled by rule has been violated".
    On the other side, one of the document tells states that "If the user is acting as an owner and the selected member has no parent, the user also acts as a manager (top hierarchy), they can select a work status controlled by "Owner", "Manager" or "Both"".
    Going by this rule, in the scenario which i have explained above, it should set the work status as "submitted". But it is throwing error.
    Kindly clarify if my understanding is wrong.

    Hi,
    The problem is arising because as per the setup, only the owner can change the work state to submitted. However, there are no owners for the child members.
    You can try changing the setting to manager. If you login as owner of A, then you will be able to change the work state of A (since you are your own manager because A is the top node) and you will be able to change B and C also (since you are the manager).
    Alternatively, you need to maintain the same user as the owner of B and C.
    You have rightly indicated the statement "If the user is acting as an owner and the selected member has no parent, the user also acts as a manager (top hierarchy), they can select a work status controlled by "Owner", "Manager" or "Both"".
    However, if you take a look at this statement, this is valid if the setting is manager. But in your case, the setting is owner. And there are no owners of the children.
    Hope this helps.
