Time as a key figure

Hi,
Can you please let me know the possible ways in which we can define time as a key figure, instead of a chaarcteristic ? My requriment is to have a start and end time, and want to calulate the difference between them as the effort. Please note that i would be using this as an input-ready keyfigure in a planning report. Anypointers will be highly appreciated.
Regards
Snehith.

Hi
You can create a keyfigure in RSD1-->In the Type/Unit Tab Select Time.
And Select the Data Type as TIMS.

  • Key figure display in planning book with respect to Time bucket profile

    Hi,
    I am loading a key figure to planning area from the info cube for the current month. When I review the key figure in planning book with monthly time bucket profile it shows 85 for the current month. In the same planning book with weekly bucket profile, it shows 55 from the current week and future weeks and the remaining 30 goes into the past weeks of the current month.
    How to make the total quantity 85 to show in the current and future weeks only.
    thanks and regards
    Murugesan

    Hi Murugesan,
    Within the Planning Area, the data is stored at the lowest level granularity that you maintain in storage bucket profile. Then during display, system will decide what data to show depending on what kind of time bucket profile you use in the planning view, and the time based disaggregation that you maintain for Key Figure.
    In this below case, what time characteristic do you have in cube? Is it date, week or month?
    If it's date, check how much KF data is maintained on the dates which belong to week which has days both in this month/last month e.g. if I talk about Dec 2011, how much data is stored 1,2,3 & 4 th of Dec, 2011.
    This data would appear in Dec in monthly view, but in week, it would appear in the week starting 28th November.
    If data is maintained in cube in weeks, then you need to calculate how time based disaggregation would show it to you in months.
    If it's months, then you would need to find out how much data would go to the days in the past week of the month.
    The time based disaggregation may be causing you some issues, but in that case, I would not expect 30 out of 85 to go in the past week, unless you have data in cube in days.
    Data shown in weekly view for week starting 28th Nov should ideally be a small proportion of 85, unless you are using a time stream/fiscal year variant, due to which most of December is in holidays.  The only other exception I can think of is that you have data in teh days mentioned above.
    It would be best to help the business understand this disaggregation logic, rather than thinking of manipulating the data to shift to a later week.
    If this logic doesn't explain your situation, then please provide the date/week/month at which you have data in cube, and what quantity.
    Thanks - Pawan

  • Order Series key figure is considered as Time Series

    Hi Gurus,
    I'm adding a new Key FIgure (Order type) into a copied version of SNP Planning Area.
    I have assigned category and therefore category group and, applied similar settings like other KFs (Planning Area, Planning Bokk...). The thing is when going into Data View, it's not behaving as an Order Type and saves its data as a Time Series. Thus no "detailed information" appears when I right-click in the bucket.
    Do you have any idea where my settings are wrong?
    PS: I'm using SCM 7.0 module version
    Many thanks & regards,
    David

    Hi David,
    You defined the keyfigure as order keyfigure.So when enter value in this keyigure system tries to create order as per keyfigure function which is assigned to this keyfigure.please note that not all the keyfigure functions creates the order.
    If your keyfigure function is anyone of the following then system creates the stock transaport order:
    4001
    4015
    4002
    4007
    4006
    4013
    4018
    4019
    4020
    If your keyfigure function is anyone of the following then system creates planned orders:
    2001
    9020
    2007
    If your keyfigure function is anyone of the following then system creates forecast:
    1002
    1003
    1004
    Hope this information will helps you.

  • Key figure values vary each time the report is run by different users

    Hi All,
    We are facing a unique problem, here it goes :
    Different users are getting different values for the same key figure, when executing the same query  on the same selection conditions.Each time, user executes the report, he is getting varying values for the same key figure.Any idea's how to resolve this issue??
    Thanks in Advance
    Bindu

    Hi Bindu,
    One reason might be due to authorizations as discussed earlier.
    check how frequently is the cube getting refreshed.
    This might also happen that if users are running the data at different times and there is a cube load in between.
    check for this.
    Cheers,

  • Using Non cumulative key figure in Real time cube

    Hi gurus,
    I have used non cumulative key figure in a real time cube and when i tried to enter some data using RSINPUT ,it is giving an error and the data is not getting saved.
    Can anyone please tell me how to use the Non cumulative key figure in the Real time cube .
    Thanks in advance
    Regards,
    Ravikanth

    Hi Ravi,
          Please make sure that when you use a non cumulative key figure iun your real time info cube, then choose a time reference characteristic for that key figure.
    Then, this time reference characteristic applies for all the non-cumulative values of the InfoCube and must be the u201Csmallestu201D of the time characteristics present in the InfoCube.
    For more detaisl, refer to the [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/39/100c38e15711d4b2d90050da4c74dc/frameset.htm|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/39/100c38e15711d4b2d90050da4c74dc/frameset.htm]

  • Conversion routine for time key figure

    Hi,
    i have a filed in datasource which has length 5 ( of numeric char ).it may be coz time can be represented as "hh:mm" which has of course of length 5.
    this particular field is mapped to a key figure of type time ( which is only 4 numc ).
    because of this mismatches transfer rules are not getting activated.
    what i need to do now? is it neccessary to write a conversion routine again?if yes, can any body write here the code required for it?
    thanks,
    Ravi

    Hi Ravi,
    Assuming time comes in 'HH:MM' , colon placed explicitly , Code should look like ...
    bwtime(2) = r3time+1(2) .
    bwtime2(2) = r3time3(2).
    Where BW_Time stands for info object.
              R3time stands for transfer structure field.
    Normally time field is of type  numc lenght 6 ( HHMMSS) and inthat case should not be any issue when used in BW system.
    Hope that helps.

  • Divide key figures in real time cube by using planning function

    Dear all,
    I have a real time cube which contains one key figure which is defined by 10 characteristics.
    For one country, the users types the values fpr the key figure in a wrong format, so I have to divide those values by 1000.
    I have tried to do this with a planning function "Revaluating" and a filter (on this spec. country). I have combined this two element in a planning sequence. When I run this I just get the error message "planning function ended with errors" without any further information.
    Is there an other way to devide values within the cube? the BI release is 7.0.
    Any help would be great.
    Best regards,
    Stefan from Munich/Germany

    Hi Stefanos,
    What you are doing is absolutely right.. However, I want to ask a few question..
    1. Are the characterestic values included in the filter ? ie. If you want to change for Country: UK, is UK present in filter?
    2. Are there any other characteristics that you have not included in the function and are getting changed by chance ? Like you might need to include 0fiscyer in To Change if you are assigning 0Fiscper.
    3. Write a small FOX function with hardcoded values to check if the system is accepting the values or not..
    It should work.. Please write back in case you need more help..

  • The use of restricted key figures in real time scenario

    Hi all,
    Please let me know the use of restricted key figures in real-time business scenarios....plz someone explain it with <b><u>example</u></b>...
    Also, can restricted keys be defined globally with same infoprovider...???????????
    Your response is thankfully acknowledged,
    thanks and regards,
    shalini.

    Hi,
    You can restrict the key figures of an InfoProvider for reuse by selecting one of more characteristics. The key figures that are restricted by one or more characteristic selections can be basic key figures, calculated key figures or key figures that are already restricted. Which means you can define and use them globally in reporting for a particular infoprovider.
    Example:
    You have to show the sales for different product typessay 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, for a company code.
    now you can define a RKF with company code and sales keyfigure.
    In the report, in columns, you use this RKF in new selection and restrict it with product type in 6 diff columns.
    New Selection.
    Restrict it with RKF
    Restrict it with product type 1.
    similarly for others..
    Hope this helps you....

  • Time Buckets with multiple Key Figures in Each

    Hello Experts,
    I have seen documents creation of ageing buckets and calculations but not seen any document with ageing bucket having multiple Key Figures part of it.
    User's have used Excel to create Bucket header and using V and H lookups they are populating data in to those columns. Is there a way we can achieve this in Bex Designer? Below is what needed on report which would give user's overview of Current Week, Previous Week, Last 4 weeks and Last 13 weeks. I have attached Snapshot for better Understanding

    Hi Sam
    If week is your time period analysis then create a structure in columns, above your key figures, based on week selections variable.
    pic example
    I don't think that you will find such a document.

    Hi,
      yes you can.You will have to use structure in the row.
    Right click on the row and create a new structure.
    In this structure you can add key figure.
    Maximum number of structure a query can have is two

  • No split for particular key figure while "Time Distribution in Update Rule"

    Hi experts,
    I wanted to have data in the infocube at day level. Currently it has only week level data. So I used "Time Distribution in Update Rule". Due to this am able to split 0Calweek data at 0calday.
    But while using   "Time Distribution in Update Rule" all key figures are getting split by same way. For e.g. key fig1 has week level data as 100. so after getting split in calday, it is apperaring as (100/7) 14.285 . for every day.
    But i dont want to happen this split for every key figure. For some key figures value "100" should be as it for every field in calday. for e.g. 100 should not get divided by 7 and posted as 100 only for all seven days.
    How can i achieve this? Is it possible if i write formula or routine for particular key figure so that split should not take place for that particular kay figure? Or is there any other to keep exception?
    Please help.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    This is one of the limitation of Time Distribution that you can not have it by individual key figure. Check the below article for more information,
    [http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/e0e1096a-e058-2c10-06b7-c66f9a82a9c8?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true]
    I think in this case you will have to write individual routine for each key figure instead of Time Distribution approach.

  • How to fill a Key figure at Query run time

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement where I have to fill a key figure while the query is running. This value is obtained by multiplying 2 attributes of a Material Master Data object.I  could have used Formula Variable but there are two problems -
    1. I have material in my info provider but not this Material Master Data object.
    2. For a particular material, there are multiple rows in the Master Data object. And I have to pick only one row by applying some condition on a field of the MD object.
    Please let me know if there is some way to implement this.

    Hello,
    You can obtain this using virtual KF. Create a KF and include in the cube on which report is built. Dont have any mapping/rule for the same.
    Now write ur code using SMOD and populate this KF during runtime.

  • Program or FM tochange description of key figure in all queries at a time

    Hi,
    As per my requirement  i need to change the description of a key figure from OED to IEG in all the reports which are containing "OED" as key figure at Query level only.
    Its a KF and not a resteicted key figure or calculated KF.
    Is there any program or table or Function module where we can change the key figure description directly
    without going to each Query and change it.
    Please suggest me.
    Thanks & Regards
    Bharathi

    texts for key figures chars. etc are refrenced only once when query is created. after that if description changes in the infoobject that doesn't reflect in query.
    Texts for all elements are maintained in RSZELTTXT table. you can write a simple program to modify texts of elements which suit your need. Contact any abaper in your team to write this program which simply updates the texts of certain elements..
    logic may be like this
    select all lines from RSZELTTXT where TXTSH = 'Plant' or TXTLG = 'Plant'.
    modify these llnes with new text.
    update rszelttxt with these new lines
