Variable entry from Navigational attribute

Hi,
I would like to let the user of a web query enter a value for a navigational attribute of a characteristic in the variable screen. How do I create variables based on nav attributes?
Example:
The report shows 0MATERIAL with key figures. The user should enter a Division (Nav attr of 0MATERIAL) before entering the query.
Best Regards
/Daniel

Hi Daniel,
In the infoobject maintenance of 0MATERIAL, Make sure the attribute Division has NAV property instead of DIS in the column Navigation Type.
Then, Have you switched on the navigational attribute in Infocube.(Modify Infocube >>Nav.attributes)
After doing these two steps you should achieve what you are trying for.

  • Variable creation on navigational attribute?

    HI all ,
    Can we create navigational  variable on navigational atribute .
    regards,
    Srinivas .

    Hi,
    When we make an attribute as navigational..then that attribute behaves exactly like any other characterstics.so
    you can create variables for the same in order to drilldown the query for detailed analysis on navigational attribute level.
    hope this is clear for you.

  • F4 Input values for variables based on Navigation Attributes

    Hi,
    We would like to use the option "Q Only Posted values for navigation"  from the set F4 mode 'Query Execution Filter Val. Selectn' in the Multiprovider specific properties.
    The problem is that  this option Works for Infoobject stored on the infocube, but It doesn't work for Navigation Attributes.
    Question : Could you please tell us how to use the option "Q Only Posted values for navigation" with _Navigation Attributes _ ?
    Thx.

    Hi,
    The input help only offers values for which you can select data in the current navigational state
    Check the below link ,

  • User entry variable on navigational attribute

    Hi,
    Can I create a Manual Entry/Default Value variable on a navigational attribute?
    Thanks,
    P R.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your replies.
    The attribute is in the master data carrying infoobject. We changed it from display to navigational after the query was created so that we can create variable. The query is based on ODS. In the query, I don't see the option of creating variable on the navigational attribute. Is there any other step to be done?
    Thanks.

  • Variable for navigational attribute affected fiscper input variable

    Dear Friends
    Initially, the query is having an input variable for fiscper. The query was able to run properly.
    When i add a input variable for a navigational attribute to the same query which is based on multiprovider, the fiscper input variable is no longer  seen.
    So, I removed the global filter for the navigational attribute and it is ok again.  I fixed a value for the navigational attribute at filter level is also fine.
    Please advise what could be the cause. Thank you so much.
    Best regards
    Bass

    Hi Bass,
    Again seems to be a strange issue, if you have two independent characteristic with two different input enabled variables then there is no reason for the variable to not to show up on selection screen.
    Once you add the new variable and save the query just make sure that you have earlier variable as it is and check the query properties popup and see the fiscper variable sequence in the variable list.

  • InfoSET - Characteristic restriction by navigational attribute.

    Created an infoset on 3 ODS's
    Checked the navigational attributes i wante in ODS. (eg 0country as attribute from ZVENDOR)
    When building the query it is not possible to have the field as a navigational attribute,only as attibute.
    When I want to use it as navigational attribute I have to add it to the ODS.
    Only then it is available as Navigational attribute in the query.
    When I Add ZVENDOR in characteristics restrictions and create a variable with replacement path "Attribute value" I get the message Replace variable with INFOOBJECT.
    "Value 'I' is invalid for property 'Replace Variable With' of element 'ZVENDOR_ATTR'"
    Define a valid value for property 'Replace Variable With' of element 'ZVENDOR_ATTR'
    How do I resolve this variable error ?

    navigational attributes are not visible in infoset, you need to include those nav-attrubetes physically in to your ods-data part to be able to navigate/filter.

  • Navigational Attribute as Text Element

    Hi...
    I have a report which shows list of Titles in the first column and the corresponding amounts based on several account and profit center restrictions in the further columns. 
    Titles basically are movie names.
    Titles have navigational attributes like Video Release Date, Theatrical Release Date. These navigational attributes can be displayed in the report. But, the user doesn't want to display them in the report. He wants them to display them as the text elements.
    As we are neither using a filter nor variable on these navigational attributes, these are not being shown as text elements.
    Is there any way, I could show these navigational attributes for a given title as text elements?
    Thanks,
    Sai.

    Ok, let's make this simple. I have a Title: 9381780, which has navigational attribute, Theatrical Release Date: 01/09/2004.
    In my query definition, I have this title restricted by this value 9381780 and the navigational attribute in the rows panel.
    Now, the query displays me the both the Title and it's navigational attribute as columns in the report.
    But, if u see the text elements, I see only Title: 9381780, because it's a filter.
    I cannot see the navigational attribute, Theatrical Release Date: 01/09/2004 in the text elements because it is neither a filter nor a variable.
    I want to display this navigational attribute, Theatrical Release Date: 01/09/2004 in as a text element.
    Hope I made it clear.
    Thanks,
    Sai.

  • Selection of charateristic value by using a navigational attribute

    Hello all.
    I'm working on BW 2004s with the integrated planning. I have this case: 0material has a navigational attribute - 0customer.
    I have a variable on the navigational attribute (ocustomer) which prompts the user to select a customer. on the next step I would like to allow the user to forecast the values for the customer's relevant materials. this issue has a problem - since a BEx query acts as a filter - and if there's no suitable data in the cube - I won't be able to see the values in the rows so the user can perform planning.
    Do any of you experts have a suggestion regarding a solution to that issue?
    Thanks,
    Tomer.

    Tomer,
        As Andrew suggested what you would need is "Master Data" option as compared to "Posted Values" option.
    Hope this helps.

  • Create Navigational attribute from R/3

    Hi All,
    I have got requirement for one cube...
    "Create Navigation attribute from R/3 CCIHT_IA-DAT as Year, Month and YYMM with selection variable, range, optional"
    What does that mean ? how to create attribute from R/3 ?
    can anyone give me the steps ?

    Looks like this is a generic datasource (Z* object). Look at definition of the datasource in RSO2 and see how the data is extracted. If the extract structure is built of a VIEW, then check if the view has the required table that has CRDAT???
    If yes, then add CRDAT as a field to the datasource, unhide it and start the extraction. Else add this table to the view, define proper join conditions (if possible) and then include CRDAT in the extract structure. Once this is done, map CRDAT to a corresponding field in BW (0calday or Zcalday) in the transfer structure of the infosource. Hope this helps.

  • Problem with Navigation Attributes when upgrading from BI 3.1 to BI 7.0

    Hello,
    I have the following problem that occured regarding queries during the upgrade from BI 3.1 to BI 7.0:
    As far as the queries are concerned it is not possible in the 7.0 system to completely rebuild them according to the queries in 3.1. More specifically this refers to a certain number of navigation attributes that cannot be integrated into the query. In this case the following error message appears: "Error in BW: Missing mapping partprov cha <-> multiprov cha". Moreover, this error message only appears when you try to include navigation attributes into the query that are all attributes of the same specific InfoObject.
    I have already checked in the 7.0 system if the relevant objects have the status 'active' and if the identification between the Multiprovider and the InfoObjects used is correct. So, is there anybody who may has another idea why this error message appears respectively who experienced the same/similar problem?
    Thanks in advance & Regards

    Hello Martin,
    yes, I've also checked the identification in the MultiProvider for the navigational attributes. There is nothing missing.
    I've also reactivated the objects.
    Do you may have another idea?
    Thanks and regards, Ines

  • Variable on navigation attribute

    Hi Friends,
        Is it possible to create variable on navigation attribute?if possible we will face any kind of issues?give me u r ideas related to this
    Thanks in advance,
    kumar

    You can create variable on a characteristic info object that is present in the cube and not on nav attribute.
    Also, nav attributes are a performance dampener. If you can, try to put the characterstic in a dimension of the cube.

  • Variable entry screen from BW in webdynpro

    Hi all,
        can I use the variable entry screen for a BEx query to access all the user inputted values in a webdynpro application.
        I want to launch this screen from within the webdynpro application, and once the user presses "Execute", I want all the user selections back in the application.
        Is this possible at all?
    Thanks,
    Satyajit.

    Hi Satyajit,
      Since the variable entry screen orignates from the BI system in conjunction with a web template it cannot be invoked separately. Do you plan to run the web application within a Web Dynpro application (i.e. an iFrame)? One option would be to use the BI Java SDK to populate the values in a user selection screen and then use the user's selection to execute a query or MDX statement. Of course you Web Dynpro app is responsible for rendering the result set.

  • Read Navigational Attribute from Mulitprovider

    Hi Gurus,
    I need to read a navigational attribute from the Multiprovider in the user exit.  Could you please tell me in detail with coding how to do this ?

    Hi,
    Navigation attributes data exists in master data and not in multiprovider. If you want to use navigation attribute value in EXIT then check which is the base Infoobject and read the Infoobject table, from there you can read the value of required attribute.

  • Derive Number of months from variable entry

    I have a requirement to calculate the average sales qty using the number of months entered in the variable entry and not the actual number of months the product was sold. For example Variable cal month entered as the range 01/2009 - 03/2009. The average needs to be calculated with the 3 month range even if sales only occurred in months 01 and 02. I understand I need to create a formula variable type customer exit, but I need assistance in creating the formula that would count the number of months from the variable entry.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Craig

    Hi,
    Yes you can replace the variable and use if the code has been declared in such a way. Use i_t_var_range instead of It_var_range. This is a table which should been defined in your existing code.
    I have modified the code. Hope this helps
    WHEN 'FORMULAVARIABLE'.
    IF I_step = 2.
    CLEAR l_s_var_range.
    LOOP AT l_t_var_range INTO l_s_var_range WHERE vnam = 'MONTH_VARIABLE'.
    CLEAR l_s_range.
    l_s_range-low = l_s_var_range-high4(2) - l_s_var_range-low4(2) + 1
    IF l_s_range-low < 0.
    l_s_range-low = l_s_range-low + 12
    endif.
    l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
    l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
    APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
    CLEAR l_s_range.
    ENDLOOP.
    endif.
