Select key date of time-dependent hierarchy before select a hierarchy node

Hello experts!
I have a Web Application which has a selection on 0ORGUNIT (organizational unit). The selection is on hierarchy nodes and the hierarchy is time-dependent.
Because of the time-dependency I have to give a key date for the hierarchy. But I want to select the key date at runtime/execution of the query and additionally I want to select the hierarchy node and other selection criterias.
Maybe there is a solution to get all this in one pop-up or maybe in two or another solution how I can implement this requirement.
Thanks for help!
Peter

Hey!
You don't have to use the same presentation-hierarchy like the selection-hierarchy is which you use for the variable. While presentation-hierarchy always has a key-date, the selection-hierarchy has none. So you see all values for selection but just this which are valid for the presentation-hierarchy are selected. And there is a warning which you can supress over RSRT.
This solution works for our problem, maybe not for yours, don't know.
Best regards,
Peter

How to Select in a query considering key date of time-dependent characteris

Hi, Everybody
I have a Infoobject called CONTROL. It can be tested during the year once, twice, three times,six times or can be not Tested.
The Characteristic that contain the number of test that the Control will be tested is time dependent.
For example, one control can have the charcteristic to test twice in a year. Then 31/10/2007 it can turn "not test".
I can have these records:
CONTROL   VALID INIT       VALID END     TEST
   XYZ         01/01/2007       31/01/2007       TWICE
   XYZ         01/02/2007       28/02/2007       TWICE
   XYZ         01/03/2007       31/03/2007       TWICE
   XYZ         01/04/2007       31/10/2007       TWICE
   XYZ         01/11/2007       31/12/9999       NO TEST
I have a query that I should select the number of controls different of "NO TEST" During the time selected.
For example, if I select Interval Time = 01/01/2007 to 31/10/2007, This record should be Counted, because it was to be tested during this period.
If I have selected Interval time = 01/11/2007 to 31/12/2007, it should not be selected because in this period, this control doesn´t able to be tested.
If I put filter restricting NO TEST, the query should check the time of validity, but when I do that, BW doesn´t accept that because I can´t restrict by Validate Date.
Anybody already had a problem like that?
I´d like suggestions to solve that or comments that could explain that.
Thanks a lot,
Elisabeth

Hi, everybody.
I already solved this problem. Thanks a lot.
For this I selected the controls in a exit variable that should be selected in from table time-dependent from infoobject. This solution ran just for BWD and BWQ, because there was a lot of data in BWP.
Then I made a first query that has selected the controls. After that, in the original query I defined the substitution path relating with the first query.
Thanks again,
Elisabeth

Bex query-KEY date for time dependent objects

Hi
I have one infoobject called 0customer that has one time dependent attribute .called status. I would know how the system works in the following senario for the a given key date(which in bex properties).
question 1)
customer todate          fromdate    status
1            20071231     20070101     Y
1            20081231     20080101      N
1            20091231     20081101      X
can the data in the infoobject be overlapped? is the 3 rd record is valid in the above example - as months(11&12of2008) overlapping with second record? ? pls advise
question 2)
customer todate          fromdate    status
1            20071231     20070101     Y
1            20081231     20080101      N
1            20091231     20090101      X
If the keydate is 20080201 which record will it return?would it return the record that has status 'N'?
what does the keydate is compared against? is it with from date or todate or between fromdate and todate? does the query return only one customer record for a given customer when it runs in the query?
Please advise.
Thanks
Vennela

1) Normally you cannot activate the data with this constellation. If you have inconsistent master data you can repair with transaction RSRV.
2) The system returns N for key data 20080201.

Key Date? Time-Dependent Master Data

I need a report on Employee Hires in a given interval (between 1/1/2008 - 12/31/2008). Therefore, I pass the time interval to the query. However, I need master data as of the Hire Date of the Employee. What type of variable should I pass in the query properties (as key date) so that it reads employee hire date during query runtime?
Just FYI...Hire Date is a characteristic and displays on the report. Different employees could be hired on different days in a given time interval.
Best Regards,
-Sonny

Hi,
For query key date you can only specify a single date( fixed value or single entry variable).
So, your requirement cannot be acheived using key-date functionality as there might be different hire dates for different employees. The only way to acheive this is to identify the master data for each employee based on his/her hire date at query runtime using the concept of virtual characteristics. This is a bit complex and will affect the performance of the query. There is a SAP How-to-Document available which can help you. Also you can refer to the following link for some more information on implementation of virtual characteristics.
Link: [https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/e051fda8-71a9-2a10-ac9e-8d17414a8c8c]
On the other hand, your requirement can be easily realized in the case where you run the query only for a single date. In this case, you need to use a single entry variable instead of Interval variable. And use the same variable for Key date.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks ,
Nithin reddy.

WAD 3.5 - Pass a date to Hierarchical Filter Selection Key Date

I'm working in WAD 3.5, with 3.5 queries. I currently have a Hierarchical Filter Selection on Org Unit using a query with no Key Date set, so as to pull the most current version of the hierarchy. This filter selection is then applied to several charts and tables below.
I need the web app to initially display this current version, but also allow the user to select a date, which triggers a requery of the Hierarchical Filter Selection data provider, passing the date selection to the key date of the data provider query. 1) how do I pass the date (currently from a drop down) to the key date of the other query, and 2) how do I force a requery of the Hierarchical Filter Selection?
The problem we are attempting to address is that if Org Unit A contained Org Units 1, 2, and 3 at the end of 2007, but only 1 and 2 today, the Hierarchical Filter Selection will not show #3, thus not allowing the user to drill down to it. If they can choose the version/point in time of the hierarchy, they will then have the ability to drill down on the older Org Units.
Thanks!

Selection Screen - Date and Time

Hi,
I have given a selection screen where the user needs to key in the input in the following format
dd.mm.yyyy hh:mm:ss.
Reason is that the database fetching these elements accepts only in this criteria.
Now as they look into automating this program, they would want to automatically take the current system date and time - 24 hours .
How do I achieve this in the above format? If this is not possible, let me know if i can make the selection screen with normal sap date format and convert it to the above format on passing to the select statement.

Thank you for quick reply.
I am trying to delete data ttributes which are not time dependent so how can I do that?
Can you pelase tell me the procedure?
Suppose if I delete all the transactional data will that be okay.

ALV - selecting the data based on layout set in selection screen

Hi,
I have an ALV report (Custom). I want to give layout selection at selection screen, so the user can create/select/manage layout at the time of selection screen and only these columns will be displayed in the final output. Instead user execute the report for all column and at the end user select the layout. I want this layout at the selection screen level like the standard reports.
Thanks,

You can do the following
When the user clicks on download
1.Use FM REUSE_ALV_LIST_LAYOUT_INFO_GET / REUSE_ALV_GRID_LAYOUT_INFO_GET to get the Fieldcat (since due to selection of layout on sel screen some columns are disabled. For the columns which have been disabled the resultant Fieldcat from the above FMs would have NO_OUT = 'X'. Delete columns from Fieldcat itab where no_out = 'X'
2.create a dynamic itab using cl_alv_table_create=>create_dynamic_table( ) passing the above Fieldcat itab, get a handle of new itab
3.loop over the original itab and fill the new dynamic itab
hope this helps...

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!

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!

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

How To... Change the Data Type for a SELECT-OPTIONS at run time.

Hello,
I am trying to restrict the values available for entry into a SELECT-OPTIONS at run time depending on user input.
The logic is as follows. The user has two input fields. A PARAMETER field which has the type RSDIOBJNM and allows them to choose an InfoObject. And the user has a SELECT-OPTIONS field to allow them to select the Characteristic values for that InfoObject.
I would like the following example to be possible:
The user enters 0MATERIAL into the PARAMETER. When the user clicks on the SELECT-OPTIONS control code will derive a list of possible options the user can enter in the SELECT-OPTIONS. In this case only values found in the master data or at least no values greater than 18 characters.
I have looked at the following function module SELECT_OPTIONS_RESTRICT and this do not appear to be helpful as they only restrict on the signs allowed for the values (unless I misunderstand, it is a complex function module!).
The code I have so far is (thus the user enters a InfoObject into p_char1 and the select options so_char1 should only accept active values of that InfoObject):
declaration of variables for user interface
DATA c_char(32) TYPE c.
declaration of count variable
DATA i_count TYPE i.
declaration of user interface
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK a1 WITH FRAME TITLE text-001.
    PARAMETERS: p_ipack TYPE RSLOGDPID.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK a1.
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK b1 WITH FRAME TITLE text-002.
    PARAMETERS: p_char1 TYPE RSDIOBJNM.
    SELECT-OPTIONS: so_char1 for c_char NO INTERVALS.
    PARAMETERS: p_char2 TYPE RSDIOBJNM.
    SELECT-OPTIONS: so_char2 for c_char NO INTERVALS.
    PARAMETERS: p_char3 TYPE RSDIOBJNM.
    SELECT-OPTIONS: so_char3 for c_char NO INTERVALS.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK b1.
Is what I am trying to do possible???
Thanks for any help. Ross.

You really want to restrict possible values of a select-option based on another field, not change the length of type of the select-option field, right?
Here is what you do: Code a custom F4 value help for the select-option at event AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE REQUEST FOR.. The first thing you do here is read the value of the parameter field (p_ipack in your example). You can use function module DYNP_VALUES_READ. Based on this value, you can propose values for the select-option fields. Note that the use can still enter whatever s(he) wishes in to the select-option field without pressing F4. In this case, you will have to code some input validations taking into account the value in the p_ipack field.

Issue making Cost Center Hierarchy Time Dependent

Hi,
We have three hierarchies on top of cost center and cost center was not time-dependent. There is a new requirement to make one of the hierarchies time dependent. To faclitate it, I changed the hierarchy property in cost center infoobject to "Hierarchy structure is time-dependent" and then loaded the hierarchy.It took the validity dates of 1.1.1000 to 31.12.999. A costcenter was changed from one node to another in ECC and was extracted into BI. As time-dependency is set, I thought that node will have two entries now one with validity period 1.1.1000 to 30.10.2009 and another with 31.10.2009 to 31.12.999. But instead the hierarchy was overwritten and only the latest change is refelcted.
Can someone please help in figuring out the issue. Should some change be done in ECC for time-dependency to reflect.
Thanks
Achyuta

Hey Achyuta,
The hierarchy needs to be time dependent in the source system and then the datasource for the time dependent hierarchy would then need to be replicated again. You'll know if it's right after the replication if you view the datasource in BW and the Data is Time Dependent check box is checked on the General Info Tab. Once the datasource is time-dependent, loads should populate the DateTo and DateFrom as you expect. Consult your R/3 expert if you need help over on the source system side.
Peace,
Dan Glick
