CR or Data Slice can be implemented with Workbook ID?

2024-05-27T02:33:19.370000+02:00

Hi experts,

we have been implementing CR (Characteristics Relationship) and Data Slice.

However, as you know, that functions are applied on ADSO level.

So, in the situation that there are over two queries which need another CR or Data slice on One ADSO, we have problem.

Is it possible to create CR or Data Slice with Workbook ID or Query ID?

thanks,

Workbook for users to lock data (version and year)

2024-07-18T14:35:30.446000+02:00

Hello everyone,

I'm in the process of implementing/creating a workbook to enable users to lock data based on the version and year. I've based my test implementation on this post although we're on SAP BW on HANA with standard BPC. I don't quite achieve the same results. I'm also unsure whether this is the correct approach or not. The idéa is to use a workbook to manage this process.

My implementation so far is to create a new aDSO to store the information with the relevant InfoObjects:

- ZLOCK (key-figure to put in 1 or 0 for lock/unlock)
- ZPYEAR (to choose the year)
- 0VERSION (to choose the version)

An aggregation level is then created on top of the new aDSO, where a query is the created on top of the aggregation level. I've also created a filter, two planning functions and two sequences for locking and unlocking.

Planning function 0 = unlock 1 = lock:

I've created a new class (based on CL_*_DS_EXIT) and changed the IS_PROCTECTED:

I then activate the dataslice in the relevant aDSO.

The idéa is that the user opens a workbook and chooses the year in the prompt. It will then show all the versions for that year and a button will be created to run a lock and unlock planning sequence.

E.g. For the year 2024, the version P1 should be locked. The user would then click on the "Lock" button, where it will put a "1" in the highlighted cell.

My problem right now is that the planning function executes with no error, but I can save to the aDSO, but the query returns an error.

1. Is there a guide somewhere which goes into details on how to proceed or implement such a workbook?
2. Am I missing something more in the code?
3. The workbook should be able to handle multiple locks, so let's say the user wants to lock version P1, P3 and P4 for 2020, but I'm unsure on how to do this? I'm assuming I need to created the cell ranges with those information, but I can't seem to find out where to find information.

Any help is greatly appreciated or direction to a similar posts. I've searched the web, but unable to find something which is as "simple" as the one I linked above, althought I still can't succesfully implement it

How to apply CR to Partprovider?

2024-08-06T04:08:17.923000+02:00

Hi, Experts

we want to create combination like this.

(The values of adso1 for the combination are okay to be empty forever)

Company Code	Profit Center	GL_ACCOUNT	Currency	ADSO1 (Actual)	ADSO2 (Plan)
COMP1	PRCTR1	GL1	CURK1	not input	input
COMP1	PRCTR1	GL2	CURK1	not input	input
COMP2	PRCTR2	GL3	CURK2	not input	input
COMP2	PRCTR2	GL4	CURK2	not input	input

The Combination of Organization and GL Account is in CBO Table.

Of Course, CR Exit should be applied to ADSO2 (Plan)

(can be applied to adso1. but, structure of two adso are different, so it cause bad impact. And pointly, adso1 is not plannable)

But, when i applied the CR Exit to ADSO2, the BEX query show error.

"The combination cannot applied to Partprovider"

"The number of combination to be created is 2,1747,483,647"

(the real combination is just 4 rows...)

And the Combination in CBO table is often less or more.

so cannot use combination Planning Function..

Is there anything i missed? or any idea?

Shell Conversion - Remodeling of Aggregation Levels

2024-09-25T19:42:09.598000+02:00

Dear,

for a Shell Conversion I made the precheck of the BW-Objects with transaction RSB4HCONV (Transfer Cockpit). The BW where i made the check is a BW 7.5 on Hana.

One message of the precheck regarding the doings "before Transfer" is about aggregation levels.

There is a check message that says that the aggregation level needs to be remodelled. The reason for this is that the aggregation level has an infocube as its basis (in which navigation attributes are used). The note on remodelling https://me.sap.com/notes/2443001/E says that a multiprovider/composite provider must be built on the Infocube and the aggregation level must be built on this (before conversion). If a multiprovider/composite provider is built on the infocube and new aggregation levels are copied from the old ones, the new aggregation levels get new technical names.

Has anyone already had experience of how best to carry out this remodelling of aggregation levels? Because if there are new aggregation levels with new technical names, the queries based on the old aggregation levels will no longer work. This will also cause problems in the SAC, right?

Thanks,

Thomas

exit variable with "E_TH_CHAS"

2024-10-08T07:32:39.376000+02:00

Hi experts,

i want to implement exit variable with "E_TH_CHAS".

The requirement is as follows :

- field B should be field with field A. (A: Company Code, B: Book Currency)

- field B should be "Do not diplay" ( B belong to Keyfigure, so cannot be removed from aggregation level)

- New line input must be possible. (also, New line Help)

For the above reasons, the deviation function is not applied.

Therefore, my idea is to implement exit variable with field B using <E_TH_CHAS> Table.

When user fill the Field A in Bex query new line, then using the value corresponding to Field A, which passed to <E_TH_CHAS> Table, Export the value with Field B with relation logic.

So, field B is filtered with the exit variable

Is it possible?

Planning Sequence Execution Log (detail level)

2024-10-17T11:23:53.172000+02:00

Hi Experts,

we want to get a detailed execution log for a specific planning sequence.

The information we need is planning sequence id, planning function id, success/failure, reason for failure, executor, execution date/time, applied filter details or parameters (e.g., corporation, profit center, etc.)

I could get some information from ST13, but couldn't get parts of information like success/failure, reason for failure, parameters, etc. (there are id and execution date/time, executor information.)

Given the process in which the planning sequence is performed in RSPLAN,

meta data can be found from somewhere, but it's hard to find.

Custom planning function not reflecting on SAP TPM customer business plan

Hi Experts

Custom planning function not reflecting on SAP TPM customer business plan after configuring it in BW in rscrm eventcust

Issue is in BBB on cbp tpm

how to identify which planning function uses certain variable?

2025-02-14T12:40:03.073000+01:00

Dear BW Experts,

i want to know the planning function technical name that uses a certain variable.

https://community.sap.com/t5/technology-q-a/link-between-rszeltdir-and-rsrrepdir/qaq-p/12501099

In the link above, I can found how to identify the technical name of the query using a variable ID, but it is difficult to find the planning function in this way.

For example, I want to find out which copy function or distribution by reference function use a certain variable.

Thanks

When I move to Quality system from Dev my BW Query OData service, it is moved "proforma".

2025-02-26T10:39:07.595000+01:00

Hello to all of you. The problem is as follows:

I develop OData service with all the artifacts based on Query. The tests are ok, and when I move to Quality system I see that in the service persists in /iwfnd/maint_service but the REG_SERVICE and REG_MODEL tables doesnt have the corresponding records. The service and its belonging model are missing.
For example the Model (XXXX_MDL) is available in table /IWBEP/I_MGW_OHT in the development system, but when moved it is missing in quality. When I execute the service in /iwfnd/gw_client, I got status code Error 500 - No service found for namespace /SAP/.....

BW-IP mit BW/4HANA

2025-02-26T16:45:52.965000+01:00

In wie fern ist BW-IP unter BW/4HANA noch nutzbar? Leider finde ich keine konkreten bzw. offiziellen Informationen dazu. Aus diversen SAP-Blogeinträgen konnte ich zwar die Info entnehmen, dass BW-IP unter BW/4 technisch funktioniert, es aber im Gegensatz früheren BW-Versionen zur Nutzung eine BPC-Lizenz braucht.

Ich bin nun auf der Suche nach einem offiziellen Dokument (Roadmap, PAM, Hinweis oder Dokumentation), auf welches ich verweisen kann.

BI IP - use of referenced InfoObjects in aggregation level

2025-02-27T16:52:15.617000+01:00

Dear all,

in a aDSO (planning mode) I use 2 InfoObjects:

0CUST_SALES and ZCUST_SAL

ZCUST_SAL uses 0CUST_SALES as referenced characteristic.

Now I face several problems, e.g. when both InfoObjects are on the same aggregation Level. I have a planning filter using a navi-attribute from ZCUST_SAL and when I run a FOX Formula based on this filter it doesn't find any data.

Characteristic Relationships of Type Exit do not work, if I use 0CUST_SALES as target.

It looks like planning system has a problem when you use an InfoObject with another "referenced" one in the same planning area.

Has someone faced a similiar problem?

A workaround could be to create an InfoObject without reference, but maybe there are other ideas.

Availability check for KMAT

2025-03-14T11:35:21.490000+01:00

Hi,

I've got an issue with availability check for KMAT. We've got in our company collective order implemented. Collective order consists of configurable materials.

Main material is configurable and suborders are also based on configurable materials.

We're facing an issue with creating delivery notes. Sales order consists of many items.

Scenario: Item 10 and 50 are already confirmed, delivered on stock. Sales people create partial delivery note. They do not check what was produced, they just create a delivery note. SAP allows them to create delivery note with items that were not produced. They can create delivery note i.e for items 20,30,50.

How can I set the settings for availability check to prevent this problem? I would like that system takes into account only items which production orders were confirmed.

Item category in sales order - STANDARD MTO. Schedule line category: CP.

Availability check in material master for delivery notes takes into account safety stock and include deliveries.

Does anybody encounter the same problem and has a solution?

Regards,

about using BW 7.5 within data cloud:

2025-04-08T12:26:47.117000+02:00

hi there,

once BW 7.5 is shifted into Business Data Cloud,

- is the BEx Analyzer still available as an analyssis-tool?

- does Integrated Planning still work?

Thanks,

cha4 ~ cha6 are exporting value

(cha1 ~ cha6 are row in Bex query)

The problem is...

The exit logic work "When the ADSO1's KFs are not in the Query"

ADSO1 is not plannable, just for Actual data...

We don't know why it's only working without ADSO1....

Missing "Unlocked" Option in Work Status Menu After AO Upgrade (SAP BPC 10.1 NW)

2025-07-17T03:13:36.308000+02:00

Hello,

We recently upgraded our Analysis for Office (AO) from version 2.8.1401.98825 to 2.8.2600.2104 in our SAP BPC 10.1 NW environment. After the upgrade, we noticed that the "Unlocked" option is missing from the Work Status menu.
Please note that we are required to stay on the upgraded AO version, as it resolves a separate error that was impacting our users in the previous version.

Has anyone else encountered this issue? If so, could you please share how you resolved it?

For reference, here are the screenshots:

After Upgrade (AO 2.8.2600.2104) – "Unlocked" option is no longer available.

Before Upgrade (AO 2.8.1401.98825) – "Unlocked" option is visible in the Work Status menu.

We truly appreciate any input, guidance, workarounds, or relevant SAP Notes that could help resolve this issue.

Thanks so much in advance for your help!

Regards,
Tee

Bex query cannot distinguish between key and text in new line

2025-07-25T03:31:16.247000+02:00

hello

Why Bex query cannot distinguish between key and text in new line?

The first case.
We use an info object "A". For example, aaa as the key value for it, and the text of aaa is "apple".

In the related query, A is displayed as text, so the user will type it as "apple" in the new line.

However, the key value "apple" also exists in A's master table (key: apple, text: application),

the value is entered as an "application".

The second case.
we use an info object "B". This is also displayed as text in the query.

For this, C is a compound. The value of C is ccc. (constant value. So of course, it's in fixed filter)
There is bbb as the value of B info object. The text is "banana".
However, if you type "banana" in the new line, a warning occurs that the compound value has not been entered.

Why can't bex query distinguish between key and text input?

\/CPMB/LOAD_INFOPROV_UI - Error obtaining concurrency lock (foreign_lock)

2025-08-13T23:38:09.899000+02:00

With reference to Incident 676338/2025:

Currently, we are experiencing performance issues when submitting data to the BPC system due to high data volume.

SAP Max Attention onboarded in May and recommended adjusting the RECLEVLEL_NR parameter to values such as 20,000, 50,000, 70,000, or 100,000.

We applied RECLEVLEL_NR = 70,000 in our QA environment and performed regression testing to identify any 'concurrency lock' issues during the load or BADI process.

We found one specific case where the DM package '/CPMB/LOAD_INFOPROV_UI' failed with the error: 'Error obtaining concurrency lock (foreign_lock)'.

Please refer the attachment contains the steps to reproduce the issue in QDP system
