Work Status Enhanced

[haley_zhang]

Dear colleagues,

Our customer is using Work Status functionality in BPC 10.1 with standard model, and there is one requirement that we are not sure how to implement well.

We got a Category member "Actual", which has a child node like "Actual000". Category is not the owner dimension while the entity is. When we try to change work status on parent node "Actual", we don't want this "Actual000" to be affected.

Is there any way to protect this child node from being changed all the time?

Any idea is welcomed. Thank you in advance.

Best regards,

Haley

P.S. You can write a simple Custom logic badi to perform mass change of work status instead of using standard work status editor!

Hi Vadim,

Thanks for the answer. Implementing a BADI is an available method, but we don't use DMP in EPM to change work status. Instead, we are using Consolidation Monitor which combines Group and Entity node... Is that possible to call the script by using Consolidation Monitor to change work status(and not sure if it can work for Group node)?

Or, from BW or BPC's point of view, is there any way to limit a certain node from being affected by work status? Like adding additional lock on that node or something like that..?

Thanks and best regards,

Haley

In the web interface only you can't do it!

In general hierarchy in CATEGORY dimension is a bad idea 🙂 What is the business value of aggregating different CATEGORY members?

Traditionally it's done using AUDITTRAIL dimension.

In you case you have to select specific base members of category dimension one after one...
