List of Values use Master Data or Trasaction Data?

Hello,
Do anyone of you from where does data in the list of values is populated Transaction data or Master data or combination of both?
I know bex query could be built on a DSO, Info Cube, Info set, Mutiple Provider and Info objects. Is dependent on the type of info provider the query is built on? Could we really control the source in the lov's
Thanks
Ram

its based on the data in the InfoProvider.

Modelling 1:N relationships using Master Data

Hello All,
I was trying to store the Bill of Material data in BW and was confused as to how model this as master data. The bill of material is basically a BOM number with a number of components in it. i.e. a 1:N relationship between the BOM and the components.
I was thinking of modelling this by compounding the Component (which has quite a number of attributes) with the BOM.
But practically the scenario is such that, today the BOM contains certain components, but someone can delete a component later in R3. I want this information to be reflected as well in BW, but i suppose BW will not take care of this in the above compounding technique.
What is the best way to model such a scenario in BW. Is there a trick or is the only way to do this is do some checking in the update routines and then delete from the master data tables.
Please let me know your opinions.
Best Regards,
Dabre

Hello All,
Does anyone have a similar kind of experience in modelling a 1:N kind of relationship using master data ? And where the N values could change or be deleted ?
Please share your experiences.

Filter on attribute of 0MATERIAL filters charac. values without master data

Hi SAP-Gurus,
I've a problem while executing a query (this query is based on a MultiProvider).
I got the message "Filter on attribute of 0MATERIAL filters charac. values without master data" and I don't know why.
When I don't use the filter on the navigation attribute, the query can be executed without any errors, bute when I set the filter, the warning message comes again.
Thank you all,
Clemens

Dear all SAP Gurus,
we've solved this problem and this is the solution:
The warning is triggered by the method CL_RSDRV_ODS_QUERY-PROCESS_SFC_WITH_ATR when the BExFlag of the InfoProvider is not set. Using DSOs for direct update there is no change to change the BExFlag. As a result queries based on a DSO for direct update always throw the above mentioned warning when filter-characteristics are attributes.

Check list field values using LINQ

I have to check if the CURRENT USER is already in the list USERS by comparing his AccountName to the list field ACCOUNTNAME.
If the USER is on the list I have to check if the field IsFollower is YES or NO and change it according to some conditions.
I think LINQ would be the correct way of doing this but I have no clue how to do that.
Any ideas pls, thanks

Hi,
Yes, you can query the list using LINQ.
You need to get the SPList Object firstly, and then you can query list item value using LINQ.

Count values in master data

Hello,
If i want to implement a report that gives me the customers that had no sells for a period, i have to read the values from master data.
But if i have to implement counters on that how can be done ? I don't want to change the data structure, can it be done only in the report ?
I know how to count the occurrences of a characteristic relative to one or more other characteristics but that doesn't work because the values must exist in the infoprovider.
Regards,
Jorge Diogo

Hello,
Maybe you can try one of the below to see if it works:
1) Create a MPRO on customer master data object and the transactional dataprovider. Now restrict the query where CALDAY is EQ # or any date EQ # which is for the sales date in the transactional DP.
2) Include customer object in the rows of query and from its properties select display data from master data object. Now create condition where the sales amount is EQ 0 and keep it active.

Issues In Reading Attribute Values From Master Data

Hi All,
I have a requirement where, i need to read an attribute value from master data. I have a characteristic YCSTATMCG (AT Cost Group Code) which is the master data from where i have to read the attribute, 0PROFIT_CTR (Profit Center). The attribute thus read, has to be populated into another characteristic, YPROFIT_C. But YCSTATMCG referes to another characteristic, YCSTCG. Here is the FOX Code I wrote with YPROFIT_C as the changing characteristic and 0AMOUNT as keyfigure.
DATA V_ATCP TYPE YCSTATMCG.
DATA V_PROFIT TYPE YPROFIT_C.
DATA V_PROFITC TYPE YPROFIT_C.
DATA V_AMOUNT TYPE F.
V_ATCP = OBJV().
MESSAGE I020(YCO_CFT) WITH V_ATCP.
V_AMOUNT = {0AMOUNT, # }.
V_PROFIT = ATRV('0PROFIT_CTR' , V_ATCP).
MESSAGE I020(YCO_CFT) WITH V_PROFIT.
{0AMOUNT, V_PROFIT} = V_AMOUNT.
But this is not working. The ATRV() function is not reading the attribute values at all. Any solutions and suggestions is highly valued.
Thanks in advance
Swaroop

Hi,
even i have the same situation.
i just want the attribute value of a char to be populated into another characteristic in the planning query.
my question is whether i should populate the keyfigure field also in the FOX code.
if so should i populate both 0amount and 0quantity fields as i have 2 keyfigure fields.
Thanks for your help

How to create a list of value using date?

We need to create a list on a report. The list consists of date. I have tried several times, but no luck.

Hi Charles,
I guess you have a user-parameter in your report and you need to define the LoV for the user parameter, so that the user can select from the LoV. In such a case you get REP-0782 if the datatype of column does not match the LoV of the parameter. Eg, if you have a query like
select * from employees where hire_date < :p_hire_date
And you want to build an LoV for hire_date, do the following:
1. Go to your user parameter > Property Inspector > Datatype > select "Date". If you select Character or Number, you will get REP-0782.
2. Now double click List of Values, choose "Select Statement" and type something like
select distinct hire_date from employees order by hire_date asc
If you don't want to use a Select Statement to build the LoV, you can write a static list of values, and even in this case Step 2 above should avoid the error REP-0782.

Extracting a distinct list of values using the Index formula

In Xcelsius, I am trying to retrieve a distinct list of values from data imported using the Reporting Services button.
In the spreadsheet I am using the following formula:
=INDEX($A2:$A831,MATCH(0,COUNTIF($B$2:B2,$A2:$A831),0))
The above formula works correctly in Xcelsius, but when I select the preview button the values change to #N/A.
Please could you advise on why this does not work?
Many thanks,
Natalie

Hi Natalie,
First, you have to be aware of the fact that Xcelsius "simulates" an Excel function. When you are in design mode, the actual "Excel" (MS code) functions are executed. But when you are in preview mode (or export to a swf), all Excel functions are simulated (Xcelsius code).
The fact that your function works in design mode but not in preview/export may point to a bug.
But there are also certain assumptions (to address speed/efficiency) on the Xcelsius code which may cause the preview to fail. One such assumption is that on the VLOOKUP function, Xcelsius does not recalculate formulas in the index column of the VLOOKUP table array - if the index column contains formulas, the index column will always remain in the initial state (will not dynamically recalculate).
Also, not all features on a supported Excel function works. For example, array formulas are not supported.

Date Parameters and List of Values (error message date format cannot be nul

I'm new to BI Publisher. I began with a simple report that has 4 parameters. The parameters are center code, sales date, customer number, and job number. I am trying to create a list of values on my customer number based on the center code and sales date entered by the user. My query for my LOV is:
select customer_nbr
from ticket
where center_cd = :center
and trunc(trans_date) = :salesDate
salesDate is defined as a date parameter with a format of MM-dd-yy. It's default value is 04-10-07.
When I attempt to view my report after adding the LOV, I receive the error:
Date format can not be null.
What am I doing wrong? Also, I would like the salesDate to default to the current date. I have tried using sysdate as the default value. This isn't working. The salesDate defualts to null when it is set to sysdate.

"Date - allows the user to enter a date as a parameter. Note that the data type must also be "Date" and the format must be Java date format."

Hi LenFinkel,
May I know what is purpose of this requirement, as olaf said,you may parse the T-SQL code (or the execution plan), which is not that easy.
I have noticed that the condition values in your Stored Procedure(SP) are hard coded and among them there is a date values, I believe some day you may have to alter the SP when the date expires. So why not declare 3 parameters of the SP instead hard coding?
For multiple values paramter you can use a
table-valued parameter. Then there's no problem getting the values.
If you could elaborate your purpose, we may help to find better workaround.

Using "Master Data Attribute of" in the Update Rule

Hi,
In my update rule of, i want to replace the master data attribute of my characteristic instead of using its source characteristic. For example. InfoObject ZSTORECODE has an attribute ZSTORENAME. My objective is to use the Store Name instead of a Store Code.
I initially thought of using "Master Data Attribute of" in the update rules. However, I always end of with having an error of "No Values."

Hope you guys can help me with this!
Thanks,

Using master data attribute in BEx Query u0096 formula

Hello,
I want to use the master data attribute (Eg. Customer master 0CUSTOMER, 0ALTITUDE (Geo Location Height)) in query formula calculation. How do I do this?
Please help me.
Thank you
Subbu

Hi Subramaniam,
You can definately use the master data attributes in the formula calculation if that is a numeric value (logically u can use a characteristic in formula).
for e.g Net weight from 0MATERIAL can be used through formula variable in formula but Color is a characteristic and there is no point in using that in a formula.
