© SAP AG Page 23 of 29

Page 24: Bpc Nw Quick Guide en De

SAP Best PracticesQuick Guide to Implementing the SAP Best Practices for BPC (NW) Package V1.75 (GLOBAL)

documentation, process overview document and the configuration guide of the respective scenario.

The business process documentation (BPD) provides a detailed process step description of the business scenario.

The scenario overview document comprises of a graphical overview of the scenario process flow.

The configuration guide describes crucial parts of the system configuration of the respective scenario. Together with the configuration guides of the underlying building blocks, you can track which system settings have been configured.

You can use the documents as described above to review the business scenarios you are interested in. Use the business process documentation (BPD) to pass through the scenario in the system.

4.2 Error Handling: Installation Errors during Activation

The following information helps you to solve problems that might occur during the installation process.

Before you start with detailed error analyzing and working through the error processing as described below proceed as follows:

4.2.1 Dynamic Hierarchy Editor not shown

UseIn some circumstances, Dynamic Hierarchy Editor (DHE) in B64 scenario does not show properly. You might enable it by providing the OWNERSHIP type cube name in the Org_OwnershipCube application parameter.There are also some default consolidation method in the initial appset. Although they are not used in this solution, please do not delete them. Otherwise the DHE may not work.

Procedure1. Make sure you have created Ownership application, and assigned Ownership to

Consolidation application.

2. Make sure you have maintained corresponding parameters as described in B64 Configuration Guide chapter 5.11.

4.2.2 Dimension XXX does not have a XXXX property

UseWhen processing a dimension, this message may occur. This is because the property definition for this dimension is not consistent with dimension member sheet.

Procedure1. Make sure that every property used in dimension member sheet is defined.

2. Delete undefined property from the member sheet if necessary.

3. If you cannot find a solution for the problem this way, open a customer message specifying the component SV-SMB-AIO-BP-BPC.

Page 25: Bpc Nw Quick Guide en De

SAP Best PracticesQuick Guide to Implementing the SAP Best Practices for BPC (NW) Package V1.75 (GLOBAL)

4.2.3 How to delete a BPF template

UseIf you want to delete a wrong configured BPF template, please do not simply delete it in admin console. This may leave some useless records in system and caused some ‘lock’ problem while editing other elements such as dimension.

Procedure1. Please refer to Note 1544309 and follow the instruction to delete all related records.

2. If you can’t solve the problem this way, open a customer message specifying the component SV-SMB-AIO-BP-BPC.

4.2.4 Application XXXX was not found

UseWhen validating the script logic, this error may display. Not only for application, may this kind of validation error also occur for other elements such as dimension member and property. This is because script logic is case sensitive for this kind of definitions or statements. Sometimes these errors are not reported, but results are not correct when calling these scripts. The wrong cases lead to empty results after filtering.

Procedure1. Make sure that you have used the exactly correct case in script logic. Compare the script

contents with the dimension definitions in previous steps.

2. Log on to the Service Marketplace and search for appropriate SAP Notes.

3. If you cannot find a solution for the problem this way, open a customer message specifying the component SV-SMB-AIO-BP-BPC.

5 Historical Data Preparation5.1 Historical Data for Planning related Business

ScenariosUseIn our solution, the actual sales data and P/L data used in the planning related business scenarios are retrieved from ERP system. If you would like to upload the historical data to the system directly, you may refer to the this step to load the data to BW.
