Introduction
SAP Business Planning and Consolidation (SAP BPC) is available in a version for SAP
Netweaver and a version for the Microsoft platform. SAP BPC Netweaver has the advantage
that ABAP (Advanced Business Application Programming) can be used, the SAP
programming language.

functionality. BAdI is an enhancement to the standard version of the code of SAP. The
performance of BAdIs is signi cant better than SAP BPC script.

This document combines several tips & tricks that will help you creating BAdI

Open the BAdi Builder via transaction SE18 to display all the available Enhancement Spot
Academy entries. Several BAdIs relevant to SAP BPC, are available (eg UJR_WRITE_BACK,
UJ_CUSTOM_LOGIC) and can be found by searching (press F4) for the string UJ*. Select the

one that best ts your needs.

Several objects need to be created:

Class (eg ZCLASS_BADI_JOURNAL); Create a new class per BAdI implementation,

Enhancement Implementation (eg ZBPC_ELEMENTARYPACK); One enhancement
implementation can contain multiple BAdI implementations,
BAdI Implementation (eg ZBPC_BADI_JOURNAL_C_IFRS_DEV). One BAdI
implementation can be linked to one or more applications.

Another way to access existing BAdI coding is via transaction SE80 Object Navigator. Enter
the desired class and open the method to change it directly.

Once the Enhancement Implementation is available, you need to lter the BAdI. This
guarantees that the code is only executed for the desired application set and application
(which corresponds to InfoArea and InfoCube respectively). Multiple lter combinations can
be added by clicking Create Filter Combination multiple times.

The lters are speci c for each Enhancement Spot. Below is an example of the
UJR_WRITE_BACK enhancement Spot.

The internal table ct_array is a generated object that contains all the records coming from
the BPC application. Looping over this table ct_array gives access to each record.

LOOP AT ct_array INTO

.

During the rst loop several objects are created that will capture the new, calculated
records. Object lt_tab
is a temporary object that is created at runtime with the same structure as ct_array. Then the
structure of lt_tab is assigned to the eld-symbols so the latter has a structure and it is a
table. To be able to work with one line of the table, the eld-symbols is created similarly. A
eld-symbols can be assigned to the individual eld of one line using the ASSIGN

Now all elds are accessible via their corresponding eld-symbols. All kinds of calculations
and manipulations can be executed using these eld-symbols.

Access Existing Data

When new data is sent from BPC towards the BW InfoCube in the backend, sometimes we
need to have access to the data that already exists in the BW InfoCube. Data disaggregation
is a perfect example for this. In BPC data can be entered at parent level and then this data
can be distributed across its children prorated to the existing data. This makes most sense
for dimensions like entity and time.

https://www.element61.be/en/resource/implementing-badis-sap-bpc-tips-tricks 4/9
4/22/2020 Implementing BAdI’s for SAP BPC - Tips & Tricks | element61

The following code retrieves the hierarchy information for entity and is also repeated for the
time component.

lo_entity->get_hier_list( IMPORTING et_hier_info = lt_hier_info ).

LOOP AT lt_hier_info INTO ls_hier_info.
APPEND ls_hier_info-hier_name TO lt_hier_name.
ENDLOOP.

Data is disaggregated pro rata to existing data. So we need to look up the existing data that
corresponds to the data coming from the BPC application. This is achieved by launching a
RSDRI query, which requires a list of dimensions to be returned and the list of lters to be
applied. First step is to retrieve the cube metadata.

CLEAR ls_application.
lo_appl_mgr->get(
EXPORTING
if_with_measures = abap_false
if_summary = abap_false
IMPORTING
CONTACT 
es_application = ls_application ).

If the processed line is a parent, we need to get its children to be able to distribute the data
across the children afterwards. This code has to be repeated for the time dimension.

CALL METHOD lo_entity->get_children_mbr

EXPORTING
i_parent_mbr =

i_level = -1
if_only_base_mbr = abap_true
IMPORTING
et_member = lt_ent_children.
DESCRIBE TABLE lt_ent_children LINES nr_ent_chil.

We prepare a range to lter on entity base members. The same range has to be expanded
for the time dimension.

LOOP AT lt_ent_children INTO ls_base_en.

ls_range-dimension = 'COMPANY'.
ls_range-low = ls_base_en.
APPEND ls_range TO lt_range.
ENDLOOP.

We save the cube dimensions in a list and expand the range to use the same restrictions as
in BPC.

REFRESH lt_dim_list.
LOOP AT ls_application-dimensions INTO ls_dimensions.
APPEND ls_dimensions-dimension TO lt_dim_list.
ls_range-dimension = ls_dimensions-dimension.
ASSIGN COMPONENT ls_dimensions-dimension
OF STRUCTURE
TO
.
ls_range-low =
.
APPEND ls_range TO lt_range.
ENDLOOP.

We build a structure to capture the result of the RSDRI query

4/22/2020 Implementing BAdI’s for SAP BPC - Tips & Tricks | element61

lo_appl_mgr->create_data_ref(
EXPORTING
i_data_type = 'T'
it_dim_name = lt_dim_list
if_tech_name = abap_false
if_signeddata = abap_true
IMPORTING
er_data = lr_data ).
ASSIGN lr_data->* TO
.

Now we can execute the RSDRI query which retrieves the required date from the SAP BW
InfoCube and stores it in eld symbols

TRY.
lo_query = cl_ujo_query_factory=>get_query_adapter(
i_appset_id = lv_environment_id
i_appl_id = lv_application_id ).
lo_query->run_rsdri_query(
EXPORTING
it_dim_name = lt_dim_list
it_range = lt_range
if_check_security = abap_false
IMPORTING
et_data =
et_message = lt_message
).
CATCH cx_ujo_read.
ENDTRY.

Test your application

In order to debug the ABAP coding, set an external breakpoint and (un)post a test journal.
Select the line of code where you would like to start debugging and hit the red button Set /
Delete external breakpoint (Ctrl+Shift+F9) in the toolbar. Note that an icon appears in front of
the selected line. Now you can (un)post a test journal, using the same SAP user and you
should enter the debugger. Now you execute the code step by step and check the content
of all elds.

Conclusion
SAP BPC Netweaver can make use of ABAP, the SAP programming language. BAdI is an
enhancement to the standard version of the code of SAP. The performance of BAdIs is
signi cant better than SAP BPC script. These functionalities enable endless possibilities.

Annex
This annex contains the ABAP declarations for all elds contained in this insight.
