BPS - OVERVIEW

[Former Member]

Hi Everyone...

I need some suggestions from you all...

I am kind of aware of BPS functionality as a planning module which is an addon in BW 3.5 onwards (if I am correct)

I want to understand BPS in simple terms in the beginning. I went to help.sap (looked in forums) and was not quite sure about what I understood.

Can some one tell me the main use of BPS.

The mechanism of loading

retraction

planning folders

actual/plan

and some basic T- cobes from where to start.

I would really appreciate your time and effort.

Thanks

Hi,

Main use of BPS to do plan the data for upcoming years with reference to actual data.

Main t.code : BPS0.

Here we will start creating planning area , planning level , planning functions and planning layout.

Planning folder t.code : UPSPM.

Here we will use this t.code for creating planning folder. Here we will assign your layout and planning functions to this folder. so the user enter the data or do the calculation by clicking the function (copy , exit , repost etc..)button..

To execute planning folder u can use UPSPL.

Hi,

For eg : If you have sales turnover for 2006 in actual cube , then we will access the data through BPS . First we will copy the data from actual to plan cube through standard <b>copy function</b> in BPS with <b>field to be changed</b> as calyear (2006 to 2007) and <b>field for condition</b> is with remaing characteristics ..this is depanding upon business requirement.

Now you have a data in Plan cube and we will do some calculation with exit function (abap program) and write the data back to transactional cube.

Siva.
