Date characterstics?

Hi all,
If u have different date fields in the cube
delivery date
actual delivery date
goods issue date
delivery at warehouse
and they have taken as characterstics?
how they should be mapped in cube?

Ofcourse it's possible . Just an example for you from SAP's business content cube:
Quotations / Orders
Technical Name: 0SD_C05 As you can see that
0QUOT_FROM
Quotation validity date (date from which quotation is valid)
0QUOT_TO
Binding period for quotation (date until quotation is valid)
is included in characteristics list even their type is date.
you can see detail information here:

Hi,
<i>How to know which master data objects need to activated from delivery version to active version in R/3 for a particular standard cube like 0SD_C03.</i>
I think, you are looking for master data sources(text,attributes,hier).Am i right?
If so, This cube has almost all SD master data characterstics. So you can activate all the all master data datasources of SD in r/3 (SD-IO).
Any way you requirement does not stop only by using this cube . You will activate all other cubes in SD also. So if you want to activate only needed master data datasources when you are activating a cube, the job becomes senseless. There is no problem(wrong) in activating all master data available under that application , even though you want to activate only one cube.

Master data load prob from flat file

hi to all .........
here i have some q which are very basic.
1) i have defined a char "purchase order date" and i have defined the data type as "DATS " . now i am trying to load master data to this. so i went to the infoprovider's infoarea and right clicked and choose "Insert characteristics as infoprovider" it says " it is not base char so it cant b a data target. then h to load data master data to this.
2) while define the DSO where should i place the characteristic in key fields or in the data fileds , where should i put the key figures, since its dso i should include record mode na , where should i insert it.
thank u in advance

HI,
1) i have defined a char "purchase order date" and i have defined the data type as "DATS " . now i am trying to load master data to this. so i went to the infoprovider's infoarea and right clicked and choose "Insert characteristics as infoprovider" it says " it is not base char so it cant b a data target. then h to load data master data to this.
Character stics we can convert as infoprovider which are independent, Date field is time characterstic it is not independent it is depnds on some charasterstic(like based on customer, material,plant these type of objects u can conevert as info provider)
in your case u want to load data to DSO
2) while define the DSO where should i place the characteristic in key fields or in the data fileds , where should i put the key figures, since its dso i should include record mode na , where should i insert it.
Never keep the keyfigurs in key fields column.
remaining characterstics (all even date characterstics aslo) u can keep in keyfields
in keeping key fileds u should analuse on which basis combination the records should be over written based on that u can decide
eg: matreial no , customer number is unique then u can keep those in key fields
even date also unique (means on same date same material , same customer not there) then u can keep date also in Key fields,

FIFO check

Dear All,
In our system our previous consultants have activated FIFO for GI, whenever i try to post the GI system is proposing batches accordingly to their batch creation date.
In material master classfication view is not extended eventhough system is thriwing the batch with FIFO
1. Where the settings has been made, where should i check ?
2. If 2 batches are created on the same date system for one time proposing batch1(creation date 1.1.13) next time other batch batch2((creation date 1.1.13)) eventhough batch1 qty is not over
Please suggest

Hi
Check strategy types and sort rules configuration
Paths are as follows
SPRO>> LO general>> Batch management> define sort rules
where you can define sorting rules based on batch creation date characterstics
these sorting rules are used in strategy types
SPRO>> LO general>> Batch management>strategy types>>define IM strategy types or others
where in sorting filed sorting rules can be used.

How to use data function using characterstics variable for calculation on

how to use data function using characterstics variable for calculation on attribute as key figure

Hi Gayatri
Did you not see my answer for CASE because CASE does indeed offer the use of the BETWEEN clause, but DECODE does not. Let me give you a little synopsis of DECODE.
In its most simple form it takes 4 values and looks like this: DECODE(A, B, C, D)
This essentially means, IF A = B THEN C ELSE D
The trick to solving BETWEEN in a DECODE is to work out algoriths where A = B. Because we don't know how many values are between 00 and 99, although I could guess there were 100 we could of course have 100 parts in the DECODE but that would be awful. How about if we look at it another way and say this:
IF PART_NUMBER < 'SDK00' THEN pay_amount
ELSE IF PART_NUMBER > 'SDK99' THEN pay_AMOUNT
ELSE pay_amount + 100
This statement only had 2 hard coded values, but how to make DECODE work with less than? Easy, we use the LEAST function. The LEAST function takes 2 values and returns the one with the lowest value. So I use LEAST(PART_NUMBER, 'SDK00') then whenever the PART_NUMBER is lower than SDK00 it will be true. A similar situation exists for the opposite function GREATEST. Putting all of this together then, you can do this:
DECODE(PART_NUMBER, GREATEST(PART_NUMBER, 'SDK00'), DECODE(PART_NUMBER, LEAST(PART_NUMBER, 'SDK99'), PAY_AMOUNT * 100, PAY_AMOUNT), PAY_AMOUNT)
In English this can be read as follows:
IF the PART_NUMBER is greater than or equal to SDK00 and the PART_NUMBER is less than or equal to SDK99 THEN PAY_AMOUNT x 100 ELSE 0

Importing data with characterstics/Merchandise hierarchy in SAP IS Retail

Hi All,
Im importing data into SAP IS Retail from MDM using ARTMAS04 message type using SAP XI. I have cetrain Merchandise hierarchy,Characterstics maintained in ECC as well as in MDM. The article category is "Generic Article". Im able to pass the valuse of characterstics and its values to ECC but idoc is not getting posted and gives an error msg" No Characterstics could be found for generic articles".
In a normal article creation in ECC using MM41 we have to create a variant for generic articles by passing characterstics and its values. How do i create a variant when im fetching data from MDM in XML format. Is there some setting required on ECC side.
Please let me know in case anyone has any clue.
Thanks

Data load of Batch Characterstics values

Hi,
We are using batch management. For initial stock we have data map for batch creation. We need to enter the characterstics values for all these batches.
We can enter the batch characterstics values using MSC2N. However, I am not sure if that is the correct way of doing it.
If I use CL20N, then we can not enter the characterstics values at batch level.
Am I correct in my understabding of using MSC2N or it has to be something else?
Thank you for all your help.
Thanks,
-Shekhar

I usually use LSMW for batch classifiction load.
Here I use IDOC import method with message type CLFMAS.

Equipment master data print out with general data and characterstics

Hi,
I need to take print out of equipment masters with general data and characterstics for around 300 masters at a time. Could any
body sugget me the best way to take print out
Regards,
Srinivas Kasina

I think I have not asked my query properly.
For Maintenance Order, each order print out will be taken separately as a print out by using some template. Do you want the equipment master print out in that manner?
Else you want the details of general tab & characteristics tab as columns like equipment list report?
I hope my question is clear now.

Data not matching in cube which gets from two DSOs

Hi All,
I have a requirement.
Cube gets from data from 2 DSOs.
In 1 DSO -
There are three fields which are mapped to one field in Cube
2 DSO--There are also similar type.
Like 4 fields in dso2 mapping to 1 field in cube
When the data is loaded into Cube,
the data is shown as split data like DSO 1 data and DSO2 data.
I want them combined.
Can anyone let me know what can I do to show as combined data.
Thanks In advance!

Thanks to both of you.
I am different characterstics in DSO1 and DSO2 to cube.
Ofcourse 1or 2 characterstics are common in both DSOs.
Employee LNum deptid frname compcode
12                               VBNM W123
13                                KNML   W145
15             345    K45
16             864    L89
So I am able to see as Split data.12,13 employee IDs are from DSO1 and 15,16 r from DSO2.
even if I give sam eemploee numbers also, same type of split data appears.
Please suggest tocombine both DSOs data in the cube.
Thanks In advance!

Why do I have mysterious cellular data usage (Verizon) every 6 hours on all 3 of my iphone 5's?

I have recently uncovered mysterious cellular usage on three different iPhones. I am a Verizon customer and discovered this by examining the cellular data use logs. What I found are a long series of mysterious data usage logs. I have visited the Genius Bar at my local Apple Store 3 times now to log notes and discuss the issue. It is being escalated.
The characterstics are as follows:
All my family phones have the appropriate IOS and hardware updates (verified by the GeniusBar at my local Apple Store).
This is occuring across three phones, which happen to all be iphone 5. Two are 5 and the other a new 5s. We do have one iphone 4 in the family but the issue (so far as I can tell), is not happening on it.
One iphone 5 has IOS 7, the other IOS 6. The new 5s has of course IOS 7.
Mysterious data use happens even while connected to wifi.
Each mysterious data use log entry is exactly 6 hours apart. For example: 2:18 AM, 8:18 AM, 2:18 PM, 8:18 PM, 2:18 AM ... etc. It cycles AM and PM, same times, for a day to many days until some condition causes it to change (evolve).
The times evolve. One day it could be cycling through at one time series, then it changes to another time sequence and continues until the next condition.
The data usage is anywhere from a few K to many MB. The largest I've seen is over 100 MB.
The logs clearly show these usages are not due to human interaction. It is a program.
If cellular connection is used frequently (by the owner), the pattern is hard to pick out. Luckily, my family member is very good about only using wifi whenever possible, so these mysterious use patterns are easy to pick out.
Verizon allows access to 90 days worth of data logs, so I downloaded and analyzed them. This has been happening for at least 90 days. I have found 298 instances of mysterious use out of 500 total connections to cellular. A total of 3.5 GB of mysterious cellular data has been recorded as used in that 90 days by this phone alone. Only .6 GB of the total cellular data use is legitimate, meaning by the person.
This issue is occuring across three different phones. Two are iPhone 5, and the third is a recently purchased iPhone 5s. The 5s I have not touched beyone the basic startup. I have left it alone on a desk for 3 days, and looking at the logs, the mysterious data use in the same pattern is occuring.
So ... I am speaking to both sides, Verizon and Apple to get answers. Verizon puts their wall up at data usage. It doesn't matter how it is being used, you simply need to pay for it. Yes, the evidence I have gathered is getting closer to someting on Verizon's end.
Before pressing in that direction, I am hoping someone reading this may recognize this issue as a possible iPhone 5 issue ... OR ... you, right now, go look at your data usage logs available through your carrier's web account, and see if you can pick out a pattern of mysterious use. Look especially at the early morning instances when you are most likely sleeping.
I am hoping this is a simple issue that has a quick resolution. I'm looking for the "ooohhh, I see that now ..." But I am starting to think this might be much bigger, but the fact is, most customers rarely or never look at their data usage details, much less discover mysterious use patterns.
The final interesting (maybe frightening part) thing about all this is that I discovered while talking to Verizon ... they do not divulge which direction the data is going. This goes for any use, mysterious or legitimate. Is cellular data coming to your phone, or leaving it? Is something pulling data from your phone? We know that it is possible to build malware apps, but the catch with my issue is that it is also happening on a brand new iphone 5s with nothing downloaded to it.
Thanks for your time

Thanks for the replies. It took a while not hearing anything so thought I was alone. I have done many of the suggestions already. The key here is that it occurs on both phones with apps, and phones still packaged in a box.
A Genius Bar supervisor also checked his Verizon data usage log and found the same 6 hour incremental use. Suprisingly, he did not express much intrigue over that. Maybe he did, but did not show it.
I think the 6 hour incremental usage is the main issue here. I spoke with Verizon (again) and they confirmed that all they do is log exactly when the phone connected to the tower and used data. The time it records is when the usage started. I also found out that the time recorded is GMT.
What is using data, unsolicited, every 6 hours?
Why does it change?
Why does it only happen on the iPhone 5 series and not the 4?
Since no one from Apple seems to be chiming in on this, and I have not received the promised calls from Apple tech support that the Genius Bar staff said I was suppose to receive, it is starting to feel like something is being swept under the rug.
I woke up the other day with another thought ... What application would use such large amounts of data? Well ... music, video, sound and pictures of course. Well ... what would someone set automatically that is of any use to them? hmmm ... video, pictures, sound. Is the iPhone 5 succeptible to snooping? Can an app be buried in the IOS that automatically turns on video and sound recording, and send it somewhere ... every 6 hours? Chilling. I noted that the smallest data usage is during the night when nothing is going on, then it peaks during the day. The Genius Bar tech and I looked at each other when I drew this sine wave graph on the log print outs during an appointment ...

Reg Data fields in DSO

Hello SAP Guru's!!!!
I have some doubt on maximum number of data fields in DSO. I gone through so many threads on SCN, but could not clarify my doubt.
The max no of key fields in DSO is -- 16
Max no of data fields in DSO is --749.
But i read in some of the scn documents a table can have maximum 256 columns .
DSO is also like a two dimensional table which can also have the same properties of a two dimensional table.
if the above statement of mine is correct.. the number of columns in a DSO is 256 columns = 16(primary key)+240 (data fields--non key fields)
but how come 749 data fields (max) will be there ? if it is so ... the max no of fields will be 749+16 = 765.
I need some clarification on this ....
Awaiting for your responses!!!!
regards,
vamshi

Hi Rajavamshi,
For DSO:
1. See for Standard DSO we have Key fields & Data Fields will be there
2. Key Fields will store only Characterisitc Info Objects, maximum no.of characteristic info object we can add here was 16
3. But in Data fields we can add both Characterstics & Keyfigure infoobjects, Max of 749 data fields we can add here.
4. Atleast one field should be there in either Key fields & Data fields.
For InfoCube :
1. Info cube structure will be having the 16 Dimensions and the Key Fields.
2. In that 16 Dimensions 13 User defined and the 3 pre defined dimensions.
3. One user defined Dimension will maximum can hold 248 Characteristics Info Object, not the Keyfigure Info Object here.
4. But the Key Fields here will store maximum will hold 233 Key Figure Info Object.
Thanks..!!

How to get data from application server

hi experts,
when i load data from application server(.csv file) to ODS, data all goes one column.
in infopackage exterdata tabstrip i have given the below values.
escape sign is "
data separator is ,
separator for thousands is ,
my sample data:
"1010000";"A410";"03.2008";"113.5704531"
"1010000";"A410";"04.2008";"93.1146410"
any ideas..
Siri

Hi Siri,
You should look in the T.Code :RSCUSTV1
BW:Settings for Flat File
Thousand separator
Dec. point separator
Field separator
Field delimiter
Then you can use the Same Characterstics while creating the Flat file & also passing the same in Info Package
This will resolve your issue

Issues with Writing back data to Planning Cube After adding a new characterstic

Hello,
We have two cubes and a MP on top of it. ( Reporting Cube and Planning Cube ). An aggregation layer has also been built and so does a planning BEx query on top of it.
Before Scenario: things were working fine as we were able to write back data to planning cube using the BEx.
After Scenario: We created a new Dimension in the planning cube and added a new characteristic ( lets call it ZX_KEY ) . This Characteristic holds the concatenated values of some of the other characteristics in its master data tables . ( For ex: Account_Customer ID_Country-code_Industry-code ).
This new characteristic is also present in the reporting cube and has been added and transferred to MP.
This new characterstic was added to the planning BEx query as one of the rows and we executed it the analyzer. After entering the required values for all characterstics ( including the newly added ZX_KEY ) and the key figure values, we tried saving it. Now this is where the Analyzer is throwing up this error..
~~Characterstic combination cannot be assigned to part provider ~~
~~Characterstic 'ZX_KEY'; Characterstic value 'R123000000_12_US_TX'~~
~~ Entered values are incorrect:Correct before navigation ~~
The value that we are entering ( R123000000_12_US_TX ) is picked up from the master data table of ZX_KEY by double clicking and selecting it from the fetched values. So i am not sure as to why its throwing up the above error. Request your help on this please.
regards,
Karthik

Hi,
Try to check that all characteristics are correctly assigned at multiprovider level.
hope it helps

Create Characterstics Variants in SAP Retail

Hi All,
I have created characterstic profile and assigned it to MC in SAP Retail with different characterstics and values.Im creating records and sending the records to SAP Retail from MDM using XI. For generic generic when im creating a record and trying to post the idoc (msg type ARTMAS), it gives and error message " No Characterstics could be found for Generic Article", and the idoc doesn't get posted. Following are the fields in Retail i have mapped to the source system:MDM for creating variants.
Msg Type: ARTMAS04
Segment: E1BPE1AUSPRT
Field: MATERIAL,CHAR_NAME,CHAR_VALUE.
Apart from this i have all the mandatory fields for basic data.
I'd like to know if im missing on passing some other field value in order to create variants, characterstics for generic type articles.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Axel,
Thanks for a quick reply. I have set the relevany indicator 2 only. See Im able to create variants when im creating article in ECC MM41 TC. But i have integrated Retail with MDM and im creating records in MDM and exporting data to Retail ECC. Its during this process im getting the error and not when im cretaing directly in Retail ECC..
