1 SAP Nte Plan & Cnsl 10.0 fr NetWeaver Dcumentatin Addendum Nte Language: English Versin: 26 Validity: Valid Since Summary Symptm Dcumentatin Addendum Other terms Dcumentatin, help, user guides, crrectins, 10.0, Planning and Cnslidatin, versin fr SAP NetWeaver Reasn and Prerequisites This nte cntains infrmatin that des nt appear in the published applicatin help f Planning and Cnslidatin 10.0, versin fr SAP NetWeaver, which is currently available n SAP Service Marketplace. Slutin As f Supprt Package 09 Yu can use parallel executin fr sme f the functins that yu run in Planning and Cnslidatin. Parallel executin can imprve yur system's perfrmance significantly, by making better use f the system's hardware (fr example, CPU time and memry). When yu enable parallel executin the framewrk splits the lgic f the prcessed data (if and where this is pssible). The split parts are put in dialg sessins that the framewrk executes in parallel. This reduces the verall time that is necessary fr the whle prcess t cmplete. Parallel executin is applied n the fllwing functins: - Lading data frm an inf prvider - Business rules fr eliminatin and adjustment Yu can enable and cnfigure parallel executin in SAP IMG. Fr mre infrmatin abut the cnfiguratin parameters, see the file parallel_executin_cnfig.pdf that is attached t this nte. NOTE Parallel executin des nt affect the business lgic f yur peratins. It nly affects the perfrmance. Fr mre infrmatin abut parallel executin, see SAP Nte As f Supprt Package 08 Yu can exprt a web reprt r an input frm t a cmma-separated values (CSV) file. Yu can then pen the file with Micrsft Excel, perfrm data analysis, frmat the reprt, print the reprt with Excel, r cpy the changed data back frm Excel t a web input frm. While yu are editing a web reprt, yu can defer the update f the Page 1 f 11

T d this, select the "Defer Layut Update" checkbx in the "Edit Reprt" panel. When the checkbx is selected, an "Update" buttn appears. Yu can use this buttn t manually trigger the layut and data update. If the checkbx is nt selected, the applicatin behavir is nt changed; the layut and data are refreshed while yu are editing the reprt. In a reprt, yu can suppress the empty rws and the rws whse values are zer s that the reprt is mre usable and easier t read. T d this, chse "Suppress" frm the menu bar. In the submenu that appears, select ne f the fllwing ptins: - Keep All - When this ptin is selected, all rws are shwn. - Suppress Empty Rws - When this ptin is selected, the empty rws are nt shwn. The rws that have values in them are shwn, even if they are zer values. - Suppress Empty and Zer Rws - When this ptin is selected, all empty and zer rws are hidden. Supprt package 8 includes functinality fr perfrming equity pick up calculatins in rder t be cmpliant with FR Y-9LP, a parent regulatry reprting frm that requires a parent entity t identify incme and investments generated frm direct subsidiaries by type. Fr mre infrmatin and instructins abut using this functinality, see the Equity Pick Up User's Guide available n the SAP Help Prtal at As f Supprt Package 07 Yu can include infrmatin abut archived data in yur audit reprts. T enable this, the fllwing changes were made: When creating audit reprts f data changes, yu can select frm the fllwing Additinal Criteria ptins: - Current (includes audit recrds f data changes that have nt been archived yet) - Archived (includes audit recrds f data changes that have already been archived) - Current and archived (the cmbinatin f bth ptins) Fr mre infrmatin, see the applicatin help tpic Reprting n Data Changes, which is available at SAP BusinessObjects Planning and Cnslidatin -> Audit Reprts -> Reprting n Data Changes. When creating audit reprts f administratin activity, yu can select frm the fllwing Task Selectin ptins: - Current (includes audit recrds f activity that has nt been archived yet) - Archived (includes audit recrds f activity that has already been archived) Page 2 f 11

3 SAP Nte Plan & Cnsl 10.0 fr NetWeaver Dcumentatin Addendum - Current and archived (the cmbinatin f bth ptins) Fr mre infrmatin, see the applicatin help tpic Reprting n Data Changes, which is available at SAP BusinessObjects Planning and Cnslidatin -> Audit Reprts -> Reprting n Administratin Activity. Additins t drill-thrugh functinality fr web reprts: If yu have defined a drill-thrugh in the Administratin view fr a given mdel, a menu item appears under the Drill-Thrugh menu in the menu bar f the reprt. This menu item has the same name as the descriptin that was entered in the Administratin view when the drill-thrugh was defined. T access the drill-thrugh infrmatin, select a cell in the reprt and then select the menu item frm the Drill-Thrugh menu. A web brwser pens. The infrmatin that displays depends n the fllwing items: - The URL specified in the Administratin view - The URL parameters specified in the Administratin view - The data cell that yu selected in the reprt Ntes: - The URL and the URL parameters appear in the address bar f the brwser. - Even if the selected cell des nt cntain data, the drill-thrugh is perfrmed. Fr mre infrmatin, see the fllwing applicatin help tpics: - Drill-Thrugh Setup, which is available at SAP BusinessObjects Planning and Cnslidatin -> Administratin -> Features -> Drill-Thrugh Setup. - Creating Reprts, which is available at SAP BusinessObjects Planning and Cnslidatin -> Creating Reprts. Enhancement f the example given in the applicatin help tpic *XDIM_MEMBERSET (SAP BusinessObjects Planning and Cnslidatin -> Administratin -> Rules -> Script Lgic -> Lgic Keywrd Reference -> *XDIM_MEMBERSET): Example: *XDIM_MEMBERSET TIME = 2006.DEC *XDIM_MEMBERSET P_ACCT = bas(ce ) [TIME].[#2009.DEC] = [TIME].[2006.DEC] * 1.1 *COMMIT Page 3 f 11

4 SAP Nte Plan & Cnsl 10.0 fr NetWeaver Dcumentatin Addendum This example first reads all children f CE in the 2006.DEC perid, increases them by 10%, and then cpies them t the 2009.DEC perid. Other valid use cases *XDIM_MEMBERSET P_ACCT = CE , CE , CE *XDIM_MEMBERSET P_ACCT = CE //All children values are summarized t ne parent recrd. *XDIM_MEMBERSET P_ACCT = BAS(CE , CE ) //The scpe is defined by the base members f bth CE and CE The string inside the parentheses () can als be replaced by a variable defined in the DM manager prmpt. *XDIM_MEMBERSET P_ACCT = DEP(CE ) //All direct children f CE *XDIM_MEMBERSET P_ACCT = ALL(CE ) //All children f CE *XDIM_MEMBERSET P_ACCT <> CE Yu cannt cmbine bas() with any ther member set. *XDIM_MEMBERSET P_ACCT = bas(ce ), CE //This is nt a valid use case. Use *XDIM_ADDMEMBERSET t add mre members t the scpe f the member set defined by bas() already. Additin t the applicatin help tpic *DESTINATION_APP (SAP BusinessObjects Planning and Cnslidatin -> Administratin -> Rules -> Script Lgic -> Lgic Keywrd Reference -> *DESTINATION_APP): *ADD_DIM {dimensin name} = {value} [, {dimensin name} = {dimensin name(surce): Prperty name}, #] Multiple dimensin names and values can be supplied t the instructin separated either by cmmas r by multiple ADD_DIM instructins entered n separate lines. Dimensin prperties (dimensin frm the surce mdel) are als supprted. Example: T explain DESTINATION_APP with SKIP_DIM, ADD_DIM, and RENAME_DIM, anther mdel DETAIL_PLAN is created by cpying the PLANNING mdel frm the delivered EnvirnmentShell. It is necessary t: - Create new dimensins PRODUCT and MARKET and add these t the DETAIL_PLAN mdel - Replace P_ACCT with P_ACCTDETAIL Page 4 f 11

5 SAP Nte Plan & Cnsl 10.0 fr NetWeaver Dcumentatin Addendum - Remve the P_ACTIVITY dimensin frm the DETAIL_PLAN cube SYNTAX: *XDIM_MEMBERSET TIME = 2006.AUG *XDIM_MEMBERSET CATEGORY=ACTUAL *DESTINATION_APP=DETAIL_PLAN *SKIP_DIM = P_ACTIVITY *ADD_DIM P_DATASRC=INPUT, MARKET = PRODUCT:MARKET *RENAME_DIM P_ACCT=P_ACCTDETAIL *WHEN CATEGORY *ENDWHEN Explanatin *IS "ACTUAL" *REC(EXPRESSION=%VALUE%) DETAIL_PLAN is the target mdel, which has all dimensins f PLANNING except fr P_ACCT. This dimensin is replaced with P_ACCTDETAIL. Als, DETAIL_PLAN has tw additinal dimensins, namely P_DATASRC and MARKET. The abve script lgic mves the data int DETAIL_PLAN with: - P_DATASRC defined by the keywrd INPUT - MARKET by using the value f the prperty 'MARKET' f the dimensin PRODUCT(which must exist in the surce mdel) - The crrespnding values f P_ACCT are cpied t P_ACCTDETAIL Stabilizing cube names If yu want t keep a cube's technical name unchanged after mdel mdificatin, ptimizatin, r transprt, yu can use the parameter ENABLE_FIXED_CUBENAME with 'X' as its value. Mdifying a mdel When the parameter ENABLE_FIXED_CUBENAME is NOT set t 'X' in the surce and target system, the current system behavir remains unchanged. When the parameter ENABLE_FIXED_CUBENAME is set t 'X', then: - If the mdel has n transactin data, the technical name remains unchanged after mdifying the mdel structure Page 5 f 11

6 SAP Nte Plan & Cnsl 10.0 fr NetWeaver Dcumentatin Addendum - If the mdel has transactin data, an errr message appears t indicate that mdifying the mdel in cube name stabilizatin mde is nt pssible. Yu must t back up and clear the transactin data in the cube and mdify it again. Optimizing a mdel When the parameter ENABLE_FIXED_CUBENAME is NOT set t 'X' in the surce and target system, the current system behavir remains unchanged. When the parameter ENABLE_FIXED_CUBENAME is set t 'X', then: - A full ptimizatin is autmatically switched t light ptimize mde and the technical name f the mdel des nt change after the ptimizatin. - If yu run a light ptimize, there is n change t the current system behavir. Transprting a mdel When the parameter ENABLE_FIXED_CUBENAME is NOT set t 'X' in the surce and target system, the current system behavir remains unchanged. When the parameter ENABLE_FIXED_CUBENAME is set t 'X' in bth the surce and target system, the resulting behavir depends n several factrs. Fr mre infrmatin, see the table in the attached file Cube_tech_name_during_transprt.pdf. When the parameter ENABLE_FIXED_CUBENAME has different values in the surce and in the target system, the mdel imprt is nt perfrmed and an errr message appears in the transprt lg. As f Supprt Package 06 When creating a jurnal, yu can limit the number f dimensin members that are available t the users. Yu can d this by adding the 'EnableJRN' prperty t the dimensin fr which yu want t limit the jurnal access. Fr mre infrmatin, see SAP Nte As f Supprt Package 05 When yu launch the Add Cmment dialg bx frm the View Histry dialg bx f a reprt r an input frm, it is n lnger pssible t change the cntext f the cmment. Yu can add a cmment with a mdified cntext nly if yu launch the Add Cmment dialg directly in the reprt r input frm by perfrming the fllwing steps: 1. In the reprt r input frm, chse Cmment > Add Cmment. 2. In the Add Cmment dialg bx that appears, chse Mdify Cntext Page 6 f 11

7 SAP Nte Plan & Cnsl 10.0 fr NetWeaver Dcumentatin Addendum Fr mre infrmatin, see the applicatin help tpic Cmments under the fllwing path: SAP BusinessObjects Planning and Cnslidatin > Creating Reprts > Cmments. Integratin Cnslidatin -- If the wnership hierarchy changes during the fiscal year and sme f the cnslidatin rules are defined with peridic mde, yu will get incrrect results when running a cnslidatin. T avid this, a new cnslidatin mde called integratin cnslidatin was intrduced in supprt package 05. Fr mre infrmatin abut hw t activate and use integratin mde, see SAP nte The applicatin help tpics "Grup Dimensin Prperties" and "Create r Mdify Dimensin Prperties" cntain a descriptin f the prperty STORE_GROUP_CURR. Valid ptins fr this prperty are Y fr Yes r N (r blank) fr N. The applicatin help tpics incrrectly pair the blank ptin with Y. The fllwing infrmatin describes the fields f the General tab in the Business Rules interface f Eliminatins and Adjustments: - Surce Audit ID: Restricts the type f transactin data t which the rule applies. This can be a member f the audit dimensin, r a DIMLIST in the audit dimensin. This field can als be blank t represent all audit members with an audit type f I r M. (Yu can use Adjustment Level t apply further restrictin.) - Destinatin Audit ID: Indicates the kind f data the rule generates. This shuld be ne base member with an audit type f A. - Grup Type Filter: Restricts the rule t specific grup r scpe members. - Entity Prperty Filter: Similar t Grup Type Filter, this restricts the rule t specific entity members. - Adjustment Type: Defines the rule type. Pssible values are the fllwing entries: Blank: generic rule type N: fr new entities in the grup/scpe; similar t a generic rule P: fr prprtinal entities E: fr equity entities D: fr entities that leave the grup/scpe in the middle f the year L: fr entities that leave the grup/scpe in the beginning f the year - Adjustment Level: Indicates the executin sequence f all Page 7 f 11

8 SAP Nte Plan & Cnsl 10.0 fr NetWeaver Dcumentatin Addendum eliminatin rules. The system executes an eliminatin rule with an adjustment level f 0 first, then level 1, then 2, and s n. The result f an eliminatin rule with a lwer adjustment level can be the input f an eliminatin rule with a higher adjustment level. The surce audit ID fr an eliminatin rule with an adjustment level larger than 0 has further restrictins. - Other Dimensin Filter: A string in this field indicates filters r special restrictins n ther dimensins. Fr example, if yu have a user-defined dimensin called Prduct and yu want t run an eliminatin fr nly ne f its members called Pr1, yu wuld enter Prduct = Pr1. - Frce Destinatin Member: When filled, indicates the value t which the system shuld frce the eliminatin result. Fr example, if yu enter 'Prduct = ALL', then fr the generated eliminatin result, the system ppulates the dimensin Prduct t ALL, n matter what the riginal value was. - Ownership Filter: Filters the wnership value. Fr example, t apply a rule t nly thse entities whse wnership percentage in a grup r scpe is larger than 70%, yu enter POWN > 0.7. Issues Independent f a Supprt Package Ntificatins in Business Prcess Flw (BPF) When a specific peratin is perfrmed in BPF (fr example, submit r apprve) the relevant stakehlders receive ntificatin s. If yu want t turn ff the ntificatins, yu can d this as fllws: 1. Run transactin SE Open the UJB_MAINTAIN_ _TMPL prgram. 3. Change the value f the "Is Active" clumn t "N". If yu want t turn the ntificatins n, change the value f the "Is Active" clumn t "Yes". Errr in the Applicatin Help Tpic *XDIM_MEMBERSET The sectin "Frcing a dimensin t read all members" states that the <ALL> keywrd is used t read all members, including parents. This is nt crrect. The prper usage f the <ALL> keywrd is t read all base members withut member frmula. Applicatin help path: SAP BusinessObjects Planning and Cnslidatin -> Administratin -> Rules -> Script Lgic -> Lgic Keywrd Reference -> *XDIM_MEMBERSET. Script Lgic Keywrd: *XDIM_PACKAGEBY *XDIM_PACKAGEBY defines the dimensin fr which t partitin packages during script lgic executin. Packages start in parallel Page 8 f 11

Run transactin SPRO -> Business Planning and Cnslidatin -> Glbal setting -> 'PARALLEL_SERVER_GROUP'. SYNTAX *XDIM_PACKAGEBY {Dimensin name} [ = {Package number} ] "Package number" is an ptinal parameter having a default value f 2. Fr example, *XDIM_PACKAGEBY ENTITY Tw packages are created and partitined by the dimensin ENTITY. Anther example... *XDIM_PACKAGEBY ACCOUNT = 4 Fur packages are created are partitined by the dimensin ACCOUNT. Nte the fllwing cnsideratins: - Yu can use the *XDIM_PACKAGEBY keywrd nly nce in each script. - Parallel mde is triggered ONLY when the member number fr the dimensin that is defined with *XDIM_PACKAGEBY is greater than 1. - The fllwing keywrds d nt supprt PACKAGEBY: *RUN_PROGRAM, *RUNALLOCATION, *CALL_CUSTOM_LOGIC, and *START_BADI The IMG Guide and the "Cmments" tpic in the applicatin help mentin a CLR_COMMENTS_HISTORY envirnment parameter.

The value can be "ACCOUT,ENTITY,TIME". %SELECTION% is the result that yu select in the Run Package screen. Fr example, PROMPT(SELECTINPUT,,,,"%DIMS%") In fact, the script can be the fllwing: PROMPT(SELECTINPUT,%SELECTION%,,,"%DIMS%") This means the client will use the %DIMS% t draw the screen, and the selected result is saved in %SELECTION%. If we d nt write the %SELECTION%, the client uses the %SELECTION% as the default. Therefre, yu can als write the script as fllws: PROMPT(SELECTINPUT,%ANYNAME%,,,"%DIMS%") Then, yu can use %ANYNAME% in the task cmmands.
