APO key figures - units of measure

I am using APO V5.1.
Via RSA1 I have created a key figure of data type Quantity and unit = 0UNIT.
I have assigned this key figure to my planning area and planning book.
The planning area has unit of measure = CAS, and this is the unit of measure shown for my new key figure in interactive planning.
How can I change the unit of measure for my new key figure to D(ays)?
Thanks for any advice...

Datta,
Thanks for this reply.
I have followed your advice...
I have a key figure with data type 'Number'.
In interactive planning, this key figure is appearing with a blank uom.
In the planning book design, on the 'key figure attributes' tab, I cannot however make any changes to the key figure attributes including uom, as they are greyed out.
Any ideas on this?
Thanks...

Key Figure units in Fact Table - Error

All -
When a run a report off of a cube, some row display 0 when there are corresponding values in my cube. The report doesn't agree with LISTCUBE. I have ran transaction RSRV on my cube and tested the "Key figure units in fact tables of Infocube" and I get an error saying that 1380 units are missing from fact table.
Diagnosis
In the fact table /BIC/FEU_FRCTS records have been found that contain values other than zero for key figures that have units, but that have no value for the unit of the key figure. Since the value of the unit has to correspond to the value of the key figure, this inidicates an error when the data was loaded. The values of the units have not been loaded into BW correctly. Choose Details to display the incorrect records.
Does anyone know what this error means? How do I solve this problem?
Thanks,
Nyrvole

hi Nyrvole,
as the message said, you have keyfigures with unit but the unit value not filled, click 'detail' as suggested to check which keyfigure(s) involved, that go to rsd2 type in that keyfigure and see which infoobject unit is used, then check transfer/update rules how this unit infoobject mapped, try correct the values and upload again.
there is option 'repair' in rsrv but think in this case it can't fix the error, just try.
hope this helps.

Key figure units in fact tables of InfoCube are blank

I run RSRV - Key figure units in fact tables for my cube and found the following error message. I found one SAP note 941895 - RSRV test fails with unknown error, but our system status is SAPKW70020, so this note is not useful to our case. Pls advise!
System message:
The test Unit of key figures in fact tables for InfoCube XXX initial had to be terminated due to an unknown error (RSRV320).
Many thanks!
rajatina.

Hi Raja,
Check that in your transformation you have mapped Unit from source system to this key figure. If not then you will have to do the mapping and reload the data. If you are not able to get unit from source system then atleast you will have to assign some constant Unit if possible.

Cumulative key figure and non cumulative key figure

Hi BW Expertz
Could any one give me the clarification about cumulative and non cumulative key figures .Why we go for cumulative key figure and non cumulative key figure.If any docs could u just mail to the following [email protected]
Thanx In advance
Best regards
sankar prasad

Cumulative values are those key figures (KF) that are cumulated using all characteristics, thus also using time.
Ex: Sales revenue, Quantity....
Non-cumulative values are those key figures that are measured in relation to a period in time; they cannot be meaningfully cumulated over time. Non-cumulative values are summarized over time using so called exception aggregation.
Ex: Number of employees, Inventory, Stock prices, Account balance,.....
AGGREGATION TAB
Non cumulatives are evaluated by non-cummulative values. Non-cummulative values are special key figures that are different from other key figures (cummulative values) in data transfers and saving as well as in aggregational behaviour. These are measured in relation to a period in time; that is to say, they cannot be meaningfully cumulated over time. Non-cumulative value are summaraized over-time using exception aggregation.
Non-cumulative values such as 'number of employess' are cumulated using characteristics such as 'cost center'. It does not make any sense, however, to cumulate the number of employees using different periods. The result at the end of any particular period would be the sum total of number of employees for each posting during the period. This would of course be wrong.
Instead, the aggregation of the KF can be defined as exception aggregation wherein an additional references characteristics is utilized to tell BW which value to use during the period, in this case, 0CALMONTH is used, in the above example, to indicate that only the last value of 0HEADCOUNT, updated by costcenter, is to be taken for any calender year and month.
Cummulative vs Non-Cumulatives
The purpose of non-cumulatives is to optimize the data transfer in BW, the data retention and the database access. The data transfer from OLTP to BW is minimized and only the meaningful data is saved and processed.
It is recommended that you use non-cumulative values for areas that dont change frequently such as warehouse stock or number of employees.
Non-cumulatives are modeled in BW using a non-cumulative value with the fields belonging to it for storing the non-cumulative or for inflows or outflows.
Non-cumulative values are stored with special KF that differ in terms of data transfers and aggregational behaviour.
Features of NON-Cumulative Values Transfering and Saving Data:
- NC values are mapped uisng one KF for NC changes or two KF for inflows and outflows.
-NC are transferred in an initialization run and the change runs that follow (initialization can also be omitted here)
- A non-cumulative value always has a time-related exception aggegation.

Cumulative and non-cumulative for key figure

Hi,
In the aggregation tab, we have the aggregate type SUM, Max or Min.
we also have the comulative/non-cumulative values.
what's the difference between comulative and non-cumulative values? it would be good to have some example for illustration. and does comulative and non-cumulative have any relation with aggregate type?
Many Thanks
Jonathan

Hi,
what's the difference between comulative and non-cumulative values?
Cumulative values are those key figures that are cumulated using all characteristics, thus also using time.
Example: sales revenue, weight, etc.
Non-cumulative values are those key figures that are measured in relation to a period in time; that is to say they cannot be meaningfully cumulated over time. Non-cumulative values are summarized over time using so-called exception aggregation.Example:stock quantities/-values, number of employees, account balances, etc.
Does comulative and non-cumulative have any relation with aggregate type?
Different types of non-cumulative keyfigures.....are....
1.Non-cumulativekey figure = cumulative keyfigure with excep.aggregation
2.Non-cumulativekey figure withassociated singledelta (cumulative)
3.Non-cumulativekey figure withassociated in-andoutflow(cumulative)

Non Cumulative Key Figures Simple

Please Help me with this.
I have the measurement Amount "0meas_value" non cumulative key figure and
aggregation properties Sum and Last value and other key figure is 0meas_chg
cUMULATIVE KEY FIGURE. aggregation properties Sum and summation. Now my question if I map the field from R3 Datasource (MEASVALUE) to CUMULATIVE key figure 0meas_chg, will it me a mess??? , Since when i try to put "0meas_value" non cumulative key figure in infosource it gives the error that you cannot put the non cumulative keyfigure in infosource. Please tell how can i then map to non cumulative key figure.?? and if I do not map what will be the problem??
Technical name: 0MEAS_VALUE (Non Cumulative)
Use
This key figure contains the measurement amount of a real estate object on a given key date. The key figure is used for analyzing changes to the real estate portfolio.
and
Technical name: 0MEAS_CHG (Cumulative)
Use
This key figure contains the change to a measurement on a given key date. The key figure is used for analyzing changes to the real estate portfolio.

Aggregation
SUM
Exception Aggregation
SUMMATION
Cumulative/Non-Cumulative Value

Thanks
Soniya

This kind of issue is difficult to analyze.
Basic approach would be:
1. make sure your BIA revision is the latest.
2. check Tcd: RSDDBIAMON2 and make sure there is no red light
3. rebuild the BIA Index and try again.

What is cumulative key figure and non cumulative key figure?

Hi Experts,
can anyone clarify me about KEY FIGURES in detail with an example for each topic like
1.Aggregation Tab in Key Figure InfoObject
2.Cummulative
3.Non Cummulative/Cummulative Values
4.Non Cummulative( Inflow & Outflow )
I think it would be better understandable with if explained with example
Thanks,

Does Fixing Key figure be part of Planning area?

Hi,
I saw the post by David and this question popped from there. The answer may be simple but I just want to confirm it.
If I am fixing a key figure A and storing the fixing information in another key figure B. I specify the Key Figure B in Key figure A definition (RSD1) as the fixing key figure.
I also know that both key figures A and B are APO key figures.
Now the question is: Do we need to include both A and B in the planning area and planning book even though I need only key figure A?
Thanks.

We can wait for more people to respond, however here is my view.
Fixed TS Key Figures actually maintains the fixed component of the primary key figure. It can have its own disagg logic and in most business cases, it will be same as the primary key figure. It needs to be intialized for the same time zone as that of the primary keyfigure which is only possible if both the keyfigures co-exist in a planning area. Figuratively take the Fixed Key Figure as a twin of the primary Key Figure which holds only a certain portion of the primary determined as fixed. The fixing logic will not work correctly if its configuration is not similar to the one of primary.

How to add unit to calculated key figures in BEx

How to add unit to BEx calculated key figures in SAP BW BEx?
I would like to add a unit to a calculated key figure in SAP BW BEx, so that it gets visible on the end user level. Currently the unit field is empty. I calculated the value from various key figures with different units and removed the units with the NODIM()-function. Is there an inverse function to NODIM() with which you can add a specific unit (like EUR or TAG).
The "How tou2026 Report Data in Alternate Units of Measure" does not seem to cover the point.
"Quantity Conversion Guide for SAP Business Intelligence" refers to the "Conversion" tab.
I suppose you have to add a conversion routine, which is 1:1 and sets the target unit defined in BEx.
Has anyone tried this? Is there a more simple solution?

Hi,
if your CKF will have always same unit and you have one KF in you inforpovider with this unit, you can try to do this trick
create a new hidden CKF as new CKF = KF / KF (with this equale new CKF = 1 unit)
change your old CKF as old CKF = old CKF * new CKF
let me know if it works.

Add unit to a key figure

Hi group!!!
I need to add a unit of measure( i have it as char) to a calculated key figure in the report. I have done it several times when it is key figure by adding the unit when editing. I do not find the way when it is a "calculated key figure" Does any one know how it can be done?
Thank in advance for your help!!!!

Hi Karthik,
This can be done with percentage functions available at Caluated keyfigure and new selection.
change CKF Margin % to (margin (ckf) Percentage Variance (%) gross sales (CKF))
Result will display like this 20.01%.

Unit in Key Figure Definition

Hi,
This is very basic question.
While defining the key-figure, we heve fields, 'Fixed Unit of Meas.' and 'Unit/Currency' in the 'Type/Unit' tab. Could any one can tell me that what is the difference between these two fields and its significance. Generally in 'Unit/Currency' we give '0BASE_UOM' which itself is a Unit Info-object. And in the definition of '0BASE_UOM', reference Info-object is '0UNIT'. So why hierarchy is like that?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Nitin,
If you define some UoM in the Fixed Unit of Measure then for that keyfigure the UoM is "fixed". Normally keyfigures can be used on multiple planning areas and or infocubes and you do not want to have the UoM fixed. You define the UoM in the Planning Area so that the keyfigure stores data based on the Planning Area UoM in that case. In case of usage of keyfigure in an Infocube the UoM is maintained in a separate characteristic like 0BASE_UOM or 0UNIT.
Since the same infoobject can have usage in multiple cases it is not advisable to put in a Fixed UoM during definition.
Hope this helps.

Unit of measure in APO DP planning Book

Hi All,
We are using LB as Base unit of measure in product master and same is used as Unit of measure for DP planning area. I would like to use two different key figures in DP planning book where one key figure should display LB as UoM and other should display CS.
How do I achieve this? I tries check box option in keyfigure details screen in planning area but it does not help since Base unit of measure is same in product master and planning area.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Harshil Desai

Harshil,
Maintain alternate unit of measurement in the Product master and then assign the alternate unit-CS in Planning book for the 2nd KF as CS by going to the design tab/option from Planning book.
Thanks

Open sales orders key figure in APO

HI Gurus,
Can anyone please throw some light as to where i need to be looking in this scenario. Our BW resource extracts open sales order quantity from ECC and loads into APO DP. The issue that i'm seeing is the open sales order quantity key figure is not getting updated properly in APO. For example to begin with we have a quantity of 800 EA in the period of 12/2014 (we go by fiscal period and in this case 12 would represent September 2014), 01/2015(October 2014), 02/2015(November 2014). The customer service group has deleted the quantity completely from period 12/2014 (September 2014) in ECC. But when i look in the planning book in APO, i can still see the quantities in the periods of 12/2014, 01/2015 and 02/2015. I was expecting the quantity from the period of 12/2014 to not showup in APO as it has been deleted in ECC. Our BW resource also confirms that he has loaded it properly in APO. Where can i start looking to resolve this issue.
Thanks
Ravi

Dear Subhash, Thanks for your reply and i apologize as APO DP is new to me and i'm picking up things, can you please guide me to which tcode should i be going and checking this. Also reloading the planning area can you xplain a little more please
Okay i have checked in the tcode /SAPAPO/TSCUBE and this is setup in the process chain for us which runs once a month on the opening day of the period. I hope this is what you were referring to?
Under the key figure assignment in TSCUBE tcode, i see that the 'Add data" check box is not checked under Target area.

Business Process: Final Demand Plan Key Figure in the past for APO DP

Hello APO process experts,
I have a BPX question for APO DP process owners, consultants or gurus:
1.- Have you ever seen in any SAP APO customer, that in their APO DP planning books, they chose or designed to update the Final Demand Plan key Figure in the past closed historical buckets with the Actual Sales?
Meaning that that in the Past closed historical Buckets, Actual Sales and Final Demand Plan, look exactily the same.
Meaning that they create a dynamic Final Demand Plan key figure so to speak, yet they did not choose to create a key figure that also keeps the Final Demand Plan as originally entered.
2.- Would you think that doing the above, without keeping any keyfigure in the planning book that actually shows what the Final Demand Plan was in the Past, is a good practice?
The Demand Planner could still retreive the Final Demand Plan from BI reports, yet, dynamically they could never really see it in the planning book.
3.- Do you think the above dynamic key figure would bias the Demand Planner's behaviour to manipulate the future open Final Demand Plan buckets to enter volumes in order sum to a monthly total, independently of what were the over and underachievements in the past (since they are not really visible to him) ?
I would really like your feedback,
thanks in advance!
JD Loera

Hello Thanks for your feedback.
I agree with your point, and I hope that i still get more feedback from other Business Process Experts.
I am trying to build a case for my client, to challenge the decision of their initial design as this practice is going to hurt the Demand Management process, if what they intend to achieve is a true "unconstrained demand plan"
Much appreciated
JD Loera

Unit of measure with language Key

Hello Guruz,
WHile creationd of purchase order, there is a check kept which compares the vendor communication language which gets updated in the Po header - Communucation tab with Db table T006A which holds the Unit of measurements with Language Key and pops up an error message.
It cheks the order unit in the PO, and the T006A whether the unit is maintained in the Language key as in the PO header - Communiction tab.
But while creating a unit of measurement in CUNI, we dont have the option to maintain the language key for the UOM.
In CUNI, it defaults the language key as EN in table T006A.
I need a prompt support from you guys on this issue. Please suggest how to go about with this?
Best Regards
Greg.

Hello,
When i am trying to go for the language key in CUNI, it says that the said language is 'not available in server'. I guess it is checking whether the language patch is updated in the server.
But it doesn't sound logical to maintain all the unit of measurements in all the vendor languages. Suppose if we are having vendors with 75 communication languages and we are having 50 units os measurements, so does that mean that we have to maintain units of measurements 75 X 50 times ?
Kindly provide your inputs on the issue. We are facing lots of issues with this control kept in PO header checking for the T006A with the vendor communication language.
Regards
Greg
