0CS_Item with time-dependent hierarchy

Dear Experts,
we are discussing pros and cons for a time-dependent item catalog (characteristic 0CS_item with time dependent hierarchy in BW) within consolidation SEM BCS 4.0. Does anybody has experiences on this topic?
I am quite sure it will be a performance issue and it means additional reporting effort (e.g. using reference period/year in the report comparing different hierarchies).
I am not sure if there are any other risks so I it would be great if anybody has some hints.
Thanks in advance,
Birgit Laux

Birgit,
Some other things to consider:
- frequency of changes to item hierarchy. Could lead to a lot of item hierarchies in BW over time.
- hierarchy validity date does not seem to be displayed when running web queries and thus makes it difficult for the user to select the correct hierarchy when executing the query. Still looking for a fix for this.
- greater complexity in overall design. Is it really necessary to achieve correct financial statement presentation?
Virtual cube performance is not great but you could implement the data mart which provides typical BW query performance.
I stayed away from setting the item as time dependent for these reasons.

Time dependent hierarchy structure in SEM-BPS

I want to use a time dependent hierarchy structure in sem BPS to make combination chek and proposal in a layout.
I have manage a relation of type hierarchy (based on this hierarchy) in the characteristic relationship tab page of my planning area.
I open my layout to make entries in the future (next fiscal year) but the system doesn't propose me the datas valide for the next fiscal year in my hierarchy but the datas validate today.
There is a key date in the master data tab page of the planning area but it seems to have only effects on attributes with validity dates but not with hierarchy with time dependent hierarchy structure.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
The key data that you enter in the planning area is only for time dependent characteristics and attributes. For the hierarchies in the characteristic relationships the current data is used.
If you still want to use a time dependent hierarchy for modeling the characteristic relationships you could use a characteristic relationship type exit. In the exit you can read the hierarchy with the proper date.

Creation of Time Dependent Hierarchy in R/3

Any ideas on how to create a time dependent Hierarchy in R/3?
Do we have any existing functionality we can leverage in R/3 for creating and maintaing time dependent hierarchy or through ABAP coding in R/3?
Any ideas or documentation will be helpful.

Time-Depended hierarchy and BEx-Queries

Hi Gurus, Masters,
I have ONE time-depended hierarchy for 4 periods (times):
1, 2, 3, 4
I have 4 columns in Query with 4 periods:
1 col for 1 period,
2 col for 2 period,
3 col for 3 period,
4 col for 4 period.
I have 1 row with this hierarchy.
How can i share this hierarchy in my columns by validity:
for 1 col -> this hierarchy for 1 period,
for 2 col -> this hierarchy for 2 period,
for 3 col -> this hierarchy for 3 period,
for 4 col -> this hierarchy for 4 period?
Any answer will be very appreciated.
Thank you.
Is this possible?
P.S.
I have 2 solutions found.

Hi Shashi,
One of the ways:
Create a variable type customer exit - in properties of the IO - in the 'select hierarchy' window there is a 'Variables' checkbox for key date.
Calculate the last date of the entered period/year in the exit.
Best regards,
Eugene

Time Dependant Hierarchy in BEx

Hi All,
I have created a query on top of 0PS_C04.
In my master 0Project i have a hierarchy which is being displayed through BEx.
Now with every new fiscal year, new projects are added to the hierarchy.
When I run the query then all the projects of the hierarchy are displayed irrespective of the year they belong to.
My problem is that I want to display only 2009 related projects when i execute the report for 2009 and so on for the years that follow.
Can somebody please suggest a way out???
Thanks.
Regards,
Rohit

Hi,
Are you using option : Time dependent hierarchy or Entire hierarchy is time dependent. If it's the latter, then you can just restrict your query with the hierarchy having end date 31.12.9999. Using key date option is also convenient.

BIAUTH: Time-dependent hierarchy authorization in BI 7.0

Hi folks,
we got an authorization problem with time-dependent hierarchies.
For example: Hierarchy A has DATETO 20100220 definied in BI
                      Hierarchy B has DATETO 99991231
In our user authorization (BIAUTH) we have defined a node authorization, based on Hierarchy B like this:
Hierarchy    PPS/99991231// [NAME OF IOBJ]
Nodes        679
Type of Authorization   1
"Subtree Below Nodes"
Hierarchy Level        0
Validity Range         1         -
>??? this should allow us key date-free selection ???
"Name and Version Identical"
For evaluating the users authorization on the IOBJN in our own BI exit variable and FM we are using the SAP FM "RSSB_AUTHORIZATIONS_OF_USER".
Despite the fact we call this FM with the wanted date (i_date), the FM does not return us the correct Hierarchy nodes desolved in s_tsx_auth_values_user.
Is there any possibility to authorize on time-dependent hierarchies generally llike we did (Hierarchy B) and still get the key-date selected hierarchy at the time?
Thanks a lot for any hint!
Norbert

Hi Norbert,
Can you check that the SAP note 1301644 has been applied in your system.

Schudling agreement with time dependent excise base value taking wrongly.

Sub: in migo excise base amount is not changing as per the scheduling agreement type LP ( time dependent ).
I have created the scheduling agreement type LP with time dependent.
I have maintained the price value in two validated period i.e
01/07/08 to 31/07/08 price is 100 rs.
01/08/08 to 31/08/08 price is 200 rs.
I have maintained the delivery schedule on
15/07/08 of quantity 1 nos.
When I am doing the goods receipts for the scheduling agreement on
Document date I am giving 15/07/08.
Posting date I am giving 15/07/08.
I am giving the posting date in the excise also 15/07/08.
After item ok.
When I will the excise base value it is taking 200 and also excise duty is also calculating on 200.
When I will post the document
The stock account and GR/IR account is taking 100 only
And excise duty is posting for rs: 200 only
Why the excise base value is not changing as per the validity period.
What setting I have to do the change the excise base value as per the validity date maintained in the time dependent .
regards
jrp

Hi
I was wondering in J1ID there is validity from date only no to date, Pls tell where you have maintained excise base amount based on from to period.
In J1ID if you maintain any new accesable value for the later date it will consider that.

0ORGUNIt time dependent hierarchy not showing all valid nodes in BO , but in BW its correctly shown

Hi All,
We have 0ORGUNIT hierarchy shown in one of the Webi reports. 0ORGUNIT is time dependent hierarchy.
In BW report we can see below nodes for hierarchy
Hierarchy                     Valid From         Valid To
Z05 Root Company        01.07.2013        31.12.9999 - Parent node
    Z05 Branch 2                 01.10.2013        31.12.9999 - Child Node
    Z05 Division                   09.12.2013        31.12.9999 - Child Node
In BO webi we can see only two nodes
Z05 Root Company        01.07.2013        31.12.9999 - Parent node
       Z05 Division                   09.12.2013        31.12.9999 - Child Node
Any idea why in BO webi the other node is not shown ? This is happening only for time dependent hierarchy and only in BO not in BW.
Thanks,
Shraddha

Hi Shraddha ,
Check at webi query panel level any restrictions applied to hierarchy levels.
Check at BEx query level,select 0ORGUNIT ,hierarchy -Expand to level .
Here specify Max level.
lastly, check any filters/restrictions applied on data.If yes,remove restrictions.

How to achieve time dependent hierarchy in SAP BO Disclosure Management

Hi all experts,
We are proposing a SAP EPM solution to a client. The overall solution consist of a planning tool (BPC 10 NW) and a disclosure management tool (SAP Disclosure Management 10).
The Disclosure management tool will retrieve the planning budget figure from BPC 10 NW, and consolidate into a financial statement.
Understand that in SAP BPC 10 NW there is a new feature call "Time Dependent Hierarchy" which allows defining the hierarchies based on a time range and the roll up behavior will be different based on the time the data belongs to. However in Disclosure Management it is currently not supported as a standard feature, therefore is there any workaround solution to achieve time dependent hierarchy in disclosure management ?
Thank you !

Time depend hierarchy of 0profit_ctr (set calday on EXIT_SAPLRSAP_004)

Hi,
I would like to set Time depend hierarchy (not by nodes, but all hierarchy) on the 0profit_ctr. but unfortunately, 0profit_ctr is not time depend. So I would like to add calday on the EXIT_SAPLRSAP_004(cmod) on the source system.
But I am no idea how to code it...
what I would like to do is to set DATETO and DATEFROM of the hierarhcy header.
parameter of the EXIT_SAPLRSAP_004 is below.
*"       IMPORTING
*"             VALUE(I_DATASOURCE) TYPE RSAOT_OLTPSOURCE
*"             VALUE(I_S_HIEBAS) TYPE RSAP_S_HIEBAS
*"             VALUE(I_S_HIEFLAG) TYPE RSAP_S_HIEFLAG
*"             VALUE(I_S_HIER_SEL) TYPE RSAP_S_HIER_LIST
*"             VALUE(I_S_HEADER3) OPTIONAL
*"       TABLES
*"              I_T_LANGU TYPE SBIWA_T_LANGU
*"              C_T_HIETEXT TYPE RSAP_T_HIETEXT
*"              C_T_HIENODE TYPE RSAP_T_HIENODE
*"              C_T_FOLDERT TYPE RSAP_T_FOLDERT
*"              C_T_HIEINTV TYPE RSAP_T_HIEINTV
*"              C_T_HIENODE3 OPTIONAL
*"              C_T_HIEINTV3 OPTIONAL
*"              C_T_MESSAGES STRUCTURE BALMI OPTIONAL
*"       EXCEPTIONS
*"              RSAP_CUSTOMER_EXIT_ERROR
I guess I_S_HIER_SEL seems to me the hierarhcy header. but I could not find which fields of the TABLES are corresponding this hierarchy header.
Or is it impossible to set what I want to do on this exit?
Hope your help..
Kind regards,
Masaaki

Hi,
In this FM EXIT_SAPLRSAP_004..
see include program...
INCLUDE ZXRSAU04..
Write code
data : l_s_[structurename] like [extractstructure name],
l_tabix like sy-tabix.
case i_datasource.
when 'your datasource name'.
loop at c_t_data into l_s_[structurename]
l_tabix = sy-tabix.
fill the new field
select ... into l_zz...
where ....
l_s_[structurename]-[new field name, zz....] = l_zz...
modify c_t_data from l_s_[structurename] index l_tabix.

Hierarchy with time-dependent structure

Hello, collegues,
Im attempting to build a report on payrolll data using DS 0HR_PY_1_CE.
There is a time-dependent structure hierarchy which changes very often (new departments are created\dispatched) on 0ORGUNIT.
The data granularity in infoprovider is Calmonth.
To build a report we need to use a derivation either for the beginning or for the end of month.
In case of a new department creation with derivation set for the last day of month - new department will show up in the report asigned to the right place on organizational strucure tree.
If a department being disbanded during the month (since the derivation is set for the end) - the amount will go into not assigned hiearachy nodes which is unaccetable for the business.
The same thing happens vice versa.
Any ideas will be highly appreciated.

hi,
we have faced the same problem with closed-org units some orgunits get closed over a period of time and they will be in the un assigned nodes in bw.
its the structure thats maintained in the source and we only get them from the source as it is and we are only loading to bi based on the standrad extractor and its does not pick closed org units.
my idea would be we need to build a custom extractor based function module which would read the hirarchies based on version and and based on time and keep them in the relevant nodes according to the bussineeds and we can load it to org unit and build hirearchy node variables on them in the report.
hope this helps.
Thanks

Selection of time-dependent hierarchy variables after selection of time

Hi guys,
I'm having the following question regarding the selections of variables in a BEx Query:
I need to select e.g. a position out of a hierarchy which is time-dependent. In the selection screen I'm only able to select a certain date but not the key date that I need for the hierarchy. Now I would like to replace the needed key date for the hierarchy out of the date value. Having the parameters for the hierarchy selected I would like to select a position of the right hierarchy.
My idea is to select the date first:
Date: 05.2009
In the next pop up window the hierarchy key date is replaced by the date:
Date: 05.2009 --> key date: 05.2009
Now I can select a position for the right hierarchy.
Is a two-stage selection possible? How can a variable be replaced and simultaneously serve in the selection of object with a hierarchy?
Thanks in advance!

Two versions of time-dependant hierarchy?

Hi,
Is it possible to have 2 versions of time-dependant( entire hierarchy) .. if yes how... Thanks

Hi,
transaction RSD1.
Change your InfoObject.
Select TabStrip Hierarchy
Switch on the flags:
-with hierarchies
-Hierarchy is version dependent
- entire hierarchy is time-dependent
So this means it is possible. But I have never heared about a need of both in the reporting.
Kind reg.
Michael
