Does any one has a step by step demo on activities in BPS0?

Hi,

I have followed most of the links on this site but most of them are theorotical.

Does any one have a sample demo of step by step instructions on on the activities in BPS0? i.e. creating business area, planning level, planning functions, etc to the point where users can enter planned data?

Thanks

Hi,

This is the step by step procedure in BPS0 as far as i know.

1.First we create a planning area based on a cube. If we have multiple cubes to refer, we will create a multi planning area. Otherwise, we create standard planning area.

2.If we need to create any variables, we will create them in the planning area.

3.Then we need a planning level which has both characteristics and key figures.

Include whatever characteristics and kfs we want as per the requirement.

4.Create a package for the level. You can restrict the characteristics either in level or in package.

5.Next comes manual planning. Create a MP and layout as per the requirement. This is the place where user is going to plan. To execute the layout, you have to select the package and then execute the layout.

6.These are minimum requirements. Creation of planning functions depends on the requirements.

7.After that we create folder in UPSPM transaction and include the variables that we used if any, and layout, functions etc.

Bindu has narrated the steps nicely.

Just to add that, when you demo to the users use upspl code to execute folders.

Also, in roder to give a an effective demo, try to unleash the features of BPS by showing how you can make the layouts more dynamic ( use variables here), diff flavours of layouts, output layouts, documents, funcitonx, etc.
