Work status for selected members

Hi,
While changing work status for a combination of category, entity, time: Is it possible to select multiple entity dimension members?
For eg, I can choose an entity member and include its children as well. However, is it possible to choose only some of the children members while setting the work status?
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Purnima

I don't think it is possible. I tried to select multiple entities via the show filter function, for example to filter all entities with currency EUR. This generates a list of 2 entities in apshell, but when I click OK it does not pass the 2 entities to the workstatus box because this can only contain one value. In the end this value is picked up for locking.

BPC 7.5 - Multiple Usernames in the owner property for Work Status Update

Good Day,
We have an issue in our BPC system, where our organisation dimension(entity) has an owner property which is maintained with multiple usernames. The issues comes in when we have to update the Work status for locking. The system recognises the first username as the owner property and only that first username can change or update the workstatus in BPC. We have a problem with that because we have a team of people that manages process.
The error that we get when one of the usernames other than the first one tries to update the work status is - "User not a Manager/Owner, Work status cannot be updated".
Please advise of the solution we are BPC 7.5 SP17
Thanks,
Themba

Issue with setting work status

Hi Gurus,
I am using the standard work status (copied from Appset), in the applications work status setting I have set entity as owner and time and category as yes for work status. In the entity dimension under owner and reviewer property I have keyed in the correct user ids. I am using one of the owner user id to perform the activity mentioned below
The issue I am facing is when I select modify work status from Esubmit menu it takes me to the web interface for setting the Work status after selecting the value for the 3 dimensions mentioned above when I click on OK it pops up a message that you are not authorized to change the work status setting please contact system administrator. The owners have admin profiles for auth so they should be able to do pretty much everything.
would appreciate help on this

Make sure all the members within the parent hierarchy you are using have owners assigned.
In BPC terms; Managers are the owners of parents, owners are the owners of members.
For example the owner might be a clerk entering forecast data for a single/set of entities, (base level members). The manager owns the parent.
Also, when testing, make sure you login to the system/server/domain/network, (whatever) with the userid you will be testing with and then login to BPC. (Just to be sure.)
This should do it if you have everything else laid out!
Good Luck!

Error changing work status in EPM Addin

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to change the working status for a category and a specific period.
    However in doing so the system is generating error
    Failed in checking status in control
    Failed or unexecuted control sets exist in your data region
    I'm doing this from Excel client, option EPM tab, save data, change work status.
    Working state has already configured in the Web Administrator
    That I can do to fix this error?
    Thank you for your help
    Regards,
    Guillermo

Hi all,
According to what the 1795953 note says and thread sent by Dinesh,
the problem is some of the Entity members are not part of the Group selection on Ownership settings. This is the configuration that I have for the entity
    I'm trying to change the work status for the item Org_so, who is the parent of the other.
    I have another question, what is the relationship between the controls and work status,
    if controls have not been executed you can not change work status?
    Best regards,
    Guillermo

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!

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

Import with work status settings

I've recently set up work status settings for an application where we import data using a xls file and the standard Import package.
Even though I haven't locked any dimension members before, I get the following error message when importing data:
Logic Error of LOAD AND PROCESSError
Failed to commit transaction
1 errors writing data
Send through SendGovernor failed
I've tried restarting SendGoverner - did not solve the problem.
Any ideas on what might cause the error message?
We are on BPC 7.0 MS SP7.

Yes, I do use a transformation file and a conversion file.
Results of my latest testing:
1) Import file with 1 line, replace&clear and work status check selected - failed with this error message:
ISLOCKED::System error.;
The current members are locked::(ACTUAL, 2011.NOV, 1000)
However checked the table and it is clear
2) Import file with 1 line, merge and work status check selected - failed with the same error message as above.
3) Import file with1 line, replace&clear selected - work status check off: success
In which table would BPC maintain which dimension members are locked from a work status perspective? I haven't locked anything to date, perhaps it needs to be "initialized"?

Multiple hierarchies in Work Status settings

Hi,
I have datasouce dimension with more than one hierarchy and I need to set work status using multiple hierarchies but Work Status Settings in Admin console allow to specify only one hierarchy in Base Hierarchy.
A possible solution could be to create a new hierarchy that includes the others but I don't like.
Do you have any other idea?
I'm working on SAP BPC 10 MS
Many thanks
Dina

Hi Dina,
as per note 1339135 - How to set dimension hierarchy on work status settings
<If you set "Base Hierarchy" to 2 for a dimension has 3 hierarchies, you cannot set work status for members included in hierarchy 1 and 3 on BPC for Web. Only you can set work status for members of hierarchy 2.>
so I think the only solution is yours.
Regards
Roberto

Work status question

Hi gurus,
I've a problem with work status, maybe i'm a little lost.
I've the following hierarchy (5 level hierarchy)
099-- (owner: user2)
    -001   (owner: user2)
     00101   (owner:user1)
          0010101    (owner:user1)
                                 001010101 (owner:user1)
                                 001010102   (owner:user1)
                                 001010103   (owner:user1)
The user always insert data in member level in BAS(00101) [001010101,001010102,001010103]
I want that once the user1 enters the data for the [001010101,001010102,001010103] cost center, he closes these cost center and
he won't be able to reopen again. and if he would have to enter data the user2 must open these cost center.
So i have three work status
DEFAULT WORK STATUS     ALL   ALL ALL ALL ALL       BOTH
OPEN                                     ALL   ALL ALL ALL ALL       OWNER
CLOSED                           LOCK LOCK LOCK LOCK LOCK MANAGER
When i go to BPC web to change the work status i selected 00101 and "include children in data region"
and change the work status to CLOSED, after that the user 1 isn't be able to insert data. But the user1 can enter again and change the work status of 00101 "include children in data region" to OPEN and then he can insert data.
I don't know what i'm missing. Any help, please?
Best regards

Hi,
I've changed the work status as you have indicated me but it doesn't work.
user 1 can set the work status to closed but he can reverse this work status to Open.
I don't want the user2 closes the work status because below 001 there are many branches
001 (user2)
    00101 (user1) --- children (owner of all user1)
    00102 (user3) --- children (owner of all user3)
    00103 (user4)
   00125 (userXX)
I want that every user close his branch and not be able to enter data. Unless the user 2 opens this branch.
Thank you for your patience

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.

Work Status error BPC NW 7.5

Hi,
I am having some trouble with Work Status for BPC NW 7.5.
When trying to change status I always get same message: "Controlled by rule has been violated". I've tried with differente ussers and I am suer they have all rights necessary to change status but, there is no way.
Please help.
Thanks in advance,
Raul

We have already made all tasks related to Work Status:
1. Configuring Work Status u2013 Like Unlocked, Submitted and Approved
2. Enter the Owner property in dim Entity
3. Configure the work status setting at the application level: Entity as owner, Time and Category "YES"
4. Aplication Administration --> Define the hierarchy as H1. We have defined the hierarchy in Entity PANETH1 also
But still didn't work... as we though it should. We have gone through the Admisnitration manual for BPC NW75 and check everything again. Everythign was correct. But, we checked all appendix also. There is where SAP explains how is all working. In some stage, BPC thogh we were the manager (because of the Entity hierarchy structure) but our Work status was not define for a Manager (because we don't need it). We made a try with everything in BOTH and is Working!!! Cool.
We are going to adjust everythign to our requirements now. But, we now itiis working correctly.
Thank you very much for you help.

MDX hangs for some members, others results are OK

Hi,
I have this MDX query:
filter(
crossjoin(
descendants(
[Estrutura Organica].[Estrutura Organica].[Filial].&[3503110],
[Estrutura Organica].[Estrutura Organica].[Zona Circuito],
self)
[Contrato].[Contrato].[Contrato]
descendants(
[Serviço Estatica].[Hierarchy].[Companhia].&[350],
[Serviço Estatica].[Hierarchy].[Serviço],
self)
[Importancia Serviço].[Importancia].[Importancia].MEMBERS
[Portaria].[Portaria].[Portaria].MEMBERS
[Portaria Descricao].[Descricao].[Descricao].MEMBERS
not isempty([Measures].[Subscricao])
that executes in 1 second (very good for me) if I use
descendants(
[Estrutura Organica].[Estrutura Organica].[Filial].&[3503110]
but if I use
descendants(
[Estrutura Organica].[Estrutura Organica].[Filial].&[3501110], --another member
It gives a memory error.
Can someone help me understanding this behaviour?

Hi,
10 members for
[Estrutura Organica].[Estrutura
Organica].[Filial].&[3501110]
and 6 members for
[Estrutura Organica].[Estrutura
Organica].[Filial].&[3503110]
I
noticed that the query works fine for the members that have less descendants, but the volume data diference is not expressive, let's say, about 20 or 30 rows as crossjoin result.

No owner property specified for a dimensions - Work Status

Hi to all,
I have a problem. I am configurating a work status. I have specified my work states, I have created the property "OWNER" in the memberset of the dimension that I want to be the owner one and I have specified the user which is going to be the owner of the members, but when I go to the workstatus matrix inside an application, the system tells me that ther's no owner property in that dimension. But in fact ther is. Does someone have any idea?
Thanx
Oscar

Hi Sheldon,
Than for your answer. Regarding the ideas:
Q1: I have process and saved the dimension that contains the owner.
Q2: Which kind of hierarchy are you talking about? I set in application parameters the Approval Org to H1, and in the members set of the owner dimension, I specified my user as a owner of some properies, so that six porperties have only one father, my user, the owner.
Shall I change something?

Initial Work status not set autmoatically for new created member

Hi,
if we create a new budget version, and process the category dimension we notice that the first work status (locked in our scenario) is not set automatically by default... As a result users can still input data for the new budget version. Only if we first change the work status of the new budget version (and put it back), the work status can be applied ...
Is this normal behavior?
Dries

Yes, I think what you're seeing is "normal" behavior -- it may not be what you want, though. In fact, I don't think this issue is limited to your creating a new member. It also applies to the existing members of your work status dimensions.
I had one project like this, where the customer wanted the default work status to be locked, and then for the finance administrator to explicitly open up the category & time period for users. We never got it to work in a really clean manner.
For the work status check to take effect, there must be records in the tblFinanceLock table (where Finance is the applcation name). And the only way that records normally get into that table is by changing the work status manually. We played around with a SQL script to populate that table, to automatically set the status to the first level (locked), but never found something that we were comfortable with.
I'd be curious to hear if someone's made something like that work well.

Nic, for me the iTunes window looks like this, when I connect my iPad 3:
I select the iPad in the "devices" section of the Sidebar (use: "View > Show Sidebar" if the sidebar is hidden).
Click the "Apps" tab in the "Devices" pane.
Scroll all the way down in the Devices pane to "File Sharing" "Apps" section.
Then do I click "GarageBand" to select the documents in the right panel.
Which part is different for you? Perhaps you could post a screenshot?
