SEM-BPS functionality

[Former Member]

Hi to everybody.

I'm searching for a particular functionality of SEM-BPS but I don't know if it exists or if I have to develop it custom(for ex:with ABAP).

Here, the issue: I have a product-hierarchy, the last two bottom-level of which are PRODUCT and (under) SKU (PRODUCT is parent of SKU).

I want to spread (I mean "distribute") values of particular PRODUCTS down to the respective SKUs following the hierarchy definition. An example: the value of PRODUCT P10 down to SKU 19, SKU 20 and SKU 21, the value of PRODUCT P11 down to SKU 22, SKU 23, SKU 24 and so on.

I have tried to use ALLOCATION function and it works perfectly but there are too much parameters to define (sender, receiver, distributor and so on) and it isn't related to the pre-defined hierarchy (I mean, there is no possibility to define a hierarchical reference).

This problem is born because of the large amount of PRODUCTS and SKUs (it's an hard work defining every single parameter...).

So I'm searching to a function that permits to refer to the product-hierarchy and execute the spread.

Any advice?

Thanx a lot.

Luca.

Hi Luca,

I am afraid I may not be able to help you with your query! But if you dont mind can I ask for your help. I am new to SEM-BPS. I have done certification in SEM but you know how its like. The pace of the academy is so fast and furious that it is impossible to retain most of the stuff after the academy. Now I am working on an SEM-BPS project. The company wants me to show to them what BPS can offer them. They are currently using their own bespoked planning software but are not very happy. I need to show to them the functionalities of SEM-BPS. Are their standard examples on heirarchies in BPS? Or is their something u can send me to get started with using heirarchies in BPS so that I can map their organistion structure to BPS planning layout and then can proceed from there? And last but not the least can you advise me on the structure of info cube? What things do i need to take in to consideration before I can design my info cube? Thanks a lot.

Salman,

The first lesson to learn is that you should not ruin an unanswered posted item by not answering it and posting your own questions.

If you want to ask something, create a new message and wait for it to be answered.
