Work status TOPDOWN

Hello,
We are trying to change the behavior of the work status to Top down. So  the work status can be approved no matter if sub-work status is approved or not.
We have tried to change the TOPDOWN application parameter to "Yes" but it doesn't work. In MS we have a drop down box with "Yes/No" but in NW this dropdown box is not available.
Does someone know what is the parameter value to activate the topdown process in NW ?
Thanks,
Mathieu

This parameter is not supported in the NW version.
Regards,
Rich Heilman

  • Change work status behavior

    Hello,
    I would like to change the work status behavior of my application to Top Down.
    Does someone know how I can change this ?
    Thanks,
    Mathieu

    Hi Mathieu,
    You need to set a parameter named TOPDOWN.
    This defines how to handle approval of work status. If TopDown, work status is approved no matter if sub-work status is approved or not. If BottomUp, work status can be approved only if all sub-work statues are approved.
    Note: When you change the value of this parameter, existing work status information is removed.
    The valid value for this parameter is Yes/No.
    Hope this helps.

  • 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.

  • Work Status Report

    Hi,
    I was wondering if there is a work status report available in the system?  What I would like to see is a summary of which dimensions are locked in BPC so that I can monitor it to ensure that someone doesn't accidentally open something by mistake. 
    Currently I have to go through BPC Web and check the dimensions manually.  If there is no report can someone confirm where the work status data is stored so that I can have one built.
    Is this the table (where "finance" is the application)   -  [dbo].[tblFinanceLock]  ??
    thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    You're right, work status information are stored in "tbl<App>Lock".
    Concerning your first question, you can build a BPC for Excel report that retrieves work states.
    Having for example an expansion on all entities, you can use EVLCK function (from 5.1 version) or EVASV function (in CPM 4.2). You can then do whatever you would like to send it to others via distribution list or other.
    Hope this will help.
    Kind Regards,

  • 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:

  • 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
    BPC 5.1 Support Pack 2
    Thanks

    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!

  • Work status custom report

    Hi Gurus,
    I have built a work status custom report. The user was able to change status. When i run my custom EVDRE report no values are retrived for status, user and date/time stamp columns. I am using simple
    EVLCK function. I think something is blocking/filtering retrival of data.
    Best Regards,
    Suresh.

    Hi Suresh,
    I am looking for the functionality in which we can display the current work status in our BPC excel sheet.
    Do you mean the same when u tell work status custom report.
    My actual idea is to display the current work status to the user. If you are meaning the same... can you please let me know how have you built the custom report?

    The periodic scripts or launchd would have to send the email. I don't think you have to do anything to send mail, just receive it, you can check that from the command line:
    mail [email protected]
    When you finish your message put a period on a blank line and hit return, that indiecates the end of the message.
    The one butt biter is that Apple puts a .forward file in all home directories that says to direct all mail to /dev/null , essentially it sends it to a black hole. You'll need to edit this file and put in your email address (if you want the email to go there) or the mails (should) wait for the user to run the mail command to read their messages.
    The mail command has a fairly extensive man page:
    man mail

  • 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,

  • BPC 5.1 SP7 patch 3 - Work Status not updateable

    Hi All,
    We have just upgraded to SP7 and applied patch 3, and suddenly we cannot "roll-back" Work Status from eSubmit / Modify Work Status.
    Previously I (as Administrator) could change a status from Approved back to Submitted or Unlocked. Now, once something is Submitted it is greyed out (not able to be changed). (Both the "Include children in data region" and the Work Status dropdown are unavailable")
    I've searched SAPNotes and on the forums, but cannot find anything related.
    Any ideas?
    Regards,
    Peter Bellis

    Upgrade to SP 7 solved this issue.

  • 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.
    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.

    Svetlana.

  • 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

  • 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

  • Bypassing work status lock in FX Restatement

    Hi,
    We have a requirement to bypass the work status lock when we run an FX Restatement as part of our budgeting process.  I was hoping to achieve this by writing my own BPC Process Type and piggy-backing off standard code.  However, hereu2019s my problem:
    1.  The currency conversion is part of the main consolidation program logic.
    2.  This program calls the main WRITE BACK logic to write the data back to the application once the conversions have been performed.
    3.  The WRITE BACK logic (method cl_ujr_write_back->write_back_int) has a parameter (I_BYPASS_LOCK) which, when set to TRUE, allows the work status locks to be bypassed.
    4.  However, the consolidation program calls the WRITE_BACK in such a way that the parameter is not set, which means the default value is taken, which is FALSE, which means the locks are respected:
    So, from what I can see, my only options are:
    A.  Implement the WRITE_BACK BAdI and use it to bypass the lock in the special circumstance that a currency conversion is being performed (Iu2019m not even sure this is possible u2013 will need to check).
    B.  Create my own version of the Consolidation and Currency Conversion program by inheriting from CL_UJP_CURR_CONVERSION (annoyingly itu2019s a FINAL class) and redefining the method that calls the write back.  The problem with this will be how to get the script logic parser to call my class, instead of the standard class.
    Has anyone faced the same problem and found a solution?
    Thanks,
    Tristan

    Hi Tristan,
    I may be confirming what you already know that it is not possible to bypass the work status in NW version. At one of our implementations, where the customer had OLS 4.2, had a keyword which is used then in a script logic to check the work status code along with the script.
    We had a solution which worked in our case as we have opened up the DM method in work status code 'Submitted' where the managers could run the packages. Not sure if this would also be applicable in your scenario.
    Thanks,
    Sreeni

  • Format according Work Status BPC 10.0 NW

        Hi experts,
    I wonder if there is a way to read the work status of the selection and set the dynamic formatting according to the work status?
    Any ideas are welcome.
    Kind regards,
    Denis

    Hi Denis,
    To read the workstatus of a combination of dimension members, you can use the function EPMWorkStatus.
    Then, you can use conditional formatting to achieve the desired formatting depending on the work status retrieved.  Hope this helps.
    Best regards,
    Vijay
