Account dimension hierarchy text nodes ACCTYPE property

Hello,
We have master data being populated into BPC from BW. So for the Account dimension in BPC, we use the 0GL_ACCOUNT infoobject in BW. This infoobject also has all the Financial statement version hierarchies which are being loaded to BPC. The question that I have is, how should the hierarchy text node values for ACCTYPE property be populated if I have to automate this load on a daily basis.
For the actual GL accounts, we have the account number ranges defined. Like 1* series accounts are Assets etc..So we can easily define a rule for populating the ACCTYPE property values. But not sure if there is any easy logic for populating the hierarchy text nodes as we dont have any pattern in them. Would we need to maintain it manually always?
Thanks
Gaurav

Hello Richard,
If there is really no logic behind them there is off course no way of automating this. Then I guess you will have to maintain each node separately.
Some customers are also willing to change their text node structure. For example I had one when where the rules for the 0HIER_NODE records were as follows:
*           EXP -> Starts with 32*, 311*, 312*, 321*, 3111*, 3112*,
*                  3142*, 31111*, 31112*, 311111*
*           INC -> Starts with TOT, 3000000000, 3100000000, 313*,
*                  322*, 3113*, 3141*, 31113*, 311112*
*           AST -> Starts with 1*
*           LEQ -> Starts with 2*
Kind regards,

How to import hierarchy text node from BW infoobject

I tried to import hierarchy from BW InfoObject through process chain /CPMB/IMPORT_IOBJ_HIER.
But BPC complains the hierarchy text node haven't been dimension member.
As result, I have to export the hierarchy text node to a flat file and import again which is not convenient.
Does anyone have some best practice for this?
Thank you.

Hi,
You can follow the steps mentioned in the below How-to-Guide of sdn. This explains the steps to be implemeted to inport hierarchies.

View dimension hierarchy using the filter property of data form

Hi,
I created a data form where I want to show the dimension hierarchy. But when I am filtering the form using attribute dimension then the hierarchy is not being shown in the form.Is their any way so that I can use the filter property also and make the dimension hierarchy visible in the data form?
Thanks.

Hi Endy,
Thanks for your reply. I have used the "equal" function as to set that specific attribute as I am choosing the descendants function against the attribute dimension,it's showing error.Hi,
What's the error ? You have to use a function, otherwise it will only display the member you picked.
Actually in our dimension structure we have a 3 generation hierarchy and the attribute is only associated with the 3rd generation member. So we want to display the 3rd generation having the specific attribute "xx" wit the entire hierarchical structure in our data form.
Can you please tell me if I have missed anything?
Thanks.If you want to display the attribute value in the form, edit the form, go to the "Layout" tab, and click on your row. On the right side of the screen, you have a section called Display Properties. Check the box called Enable custom attributes, then check your attribute name. Save the form and you will have the attribute value displayed at the right of the member name.

Accounts Dimension Hierarchy...Problems Please help

Hi All,Iam designing a P&L Cube & a Balance sheet Cube.I have a specific problem---Please read below1. In JDE, Account number is the combination of the BU , Object Account & Sub Account.Seems the unique number of accounts (with Account Numbers) are 1.5 million.Upto (Level 6 in JDE) , Accounts are standard across the Companies or business unitsOne company has several business units.Building hierarchy till level 6(level 6 means level 6 in JDE) may not be a problem in Essbase.The real challenge is after level 6,level 7 level 8 level 9 accounts are there & these are not standard for all business units. They differ for each business unit.For example,Bank Account ( suppose at level 6) for a BU 41100000 , BU 41000000 , BU 40000000Bankone (level 7 ) for the 4110000053 bank (level 7 ) for the 41100000Firstunion ( level 7) for 41000000FleetBank (level 7) for 41000000FleetBank (level 7) for 40000000So in this case how to achieve uniqueness vis-a-vis Essbase.Answer is : Account number which is the combination of the BU , object account & Sub accountBut what worries me is if we have 20,000 (suppose) Business units & we have level 7 accounts on an average 10 per BU, then which means we have to build 20,000 * 10 which is equivalent to 200,000.... if we think of level 8 , same logic continues....so when we build hierarchy.... for 1.5 million unique records we might end up having atleast 500,000 stored members, I think.My solution to this was not to go to level of detail after 6th level in JDE.What is your opinion?Did anyone come across such a situation. The Business people want to see the level of detail till level 9 of JDE & report also on that...What is the solution for this kind of problem??Notes : Levels in JDE are equivalent to generations in Essbase

I hope I'm understanding you correctlyWhy don't you have Account and BU in seperate dimensions? You can train users to look for their account and BU in seperate dimensions orOnly create accounts that have values. In other words don't create every possible account BU combination in essbase. Make sure your load file for Essbase doesn't contain zero value and dimbuild from your data file.

Data not Pulling after adding a 2nd Hierarchy in Account Dimension

Hi all. We had 2 hierarchies in our account dimension. We were having some performance issues, so I wanted to test reporting performance by deleting the 2nd hierarchy. I deleted the second one and now I am ready to add it back again, but I am having the toughest time. After I added the 2nd hierarchy no data is pulling through any report and I am getting evdre errors. I checked sql db and the data is there. And then if I take out the 2nd hierarchy the reports work fine. I added multiple hierarchies to dimensions before , so I am quite baffled on why this is happening.
Here's what I did. Deleted column PARENTH2 and FORMULAH2. Process. Then did some testing. And now Added columns Parenth2 and formulah2. Process.
Am I missing something here? Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
We have SQL 2008 Enterprise sp2 CU3. BPC 7.5 MS SP3 patch5.

I apologize for this very late response.
Thanks for your response. Yes I did process the dimension, modify dimension property and modify-->Process Application. And the second hierarchy was visible when I logged back into the application.
John, yes the second hierarchy was visible in SSAS.
This was why it was baffling to me!
So after a whole day of trying to figure this out, I sort of gave up and started working on something else. And because it was our test environment, it didnt have any effect on the users. One day later I logged back in and it was working! I took out the second hierarchy again and added it back. Processed, modified etc. I got the same result. I couldnt pull any data from the second hierarchy. I logged out, logged back in the day after and it started working. So, basically it seemed like the system needed some time (12-16 hours in this case) to adjust? I really don't know how/why this happened, maybe someone have an explanation for this?
Thank you all.

Text node in the Charac Hierarchy sums up

Hi,
I am working on IP.
I had created an hierarchy for a specific consumption data with the top node as a text node, which should appear only once in the report.
But when i use the Input ready query, the system shows multiple rows of the text node for every new characteristic values in the nodes below this node.
How do i avoid the text node being displayed multiple times?
Thanks in advance,
regards,
Sriram

Hi Jacky,
Yes i have text nodes for more than one set of characteristics.
Level 1A
    Level 2
        Char1 A
        Char1 B
Level 1B
        Char1 C
        Char1 D
        Char1 E
These characteristic also have an attribute characteristic. Hence, in the Input ready query it displays as follows;
Level 1A
    Level 2          Char2 A
    Level 2          Char2 B
        Char1 A    Char2 A
        Char1 B    Char2 B
Is there a way to avoid the "Char2" in the text nodes.
Thank in advance for the solution,
regards,
Sriram

How to use the FORMAT property of an account dimension

Hi Experts,
I tried my best but I just can't find any information about the format property of an account dimension. I know that it is a reserved one and I have seen something such as #,##0. In detail I want inc member to look like 1.000.000 and exp member like -4.000.0000.
This is probably a stupid question.
Thanx in advance,
Cora

Hi Cora-
These are Excel custom formats..please review the following link for detailed information:
[Custom Number Formats in Excel|http://www.ozgrid.com/Excel/CustomFormats.htm]
For your specific example: ###,###,### for INC and -###,###,### EXP should be sufficient.

P&L Report-Account Group Hierarchy -Position of lower nodes above

I define P&L Statement hierarchy in ERP using T Code: KDH2 (account group). The reason why I don't use standard financial statement version is because it can't include cost object /cost element in the hierarchy.
Then I designed a query using Bex Query designer. In row item "account number", I tagged the accoung group as hierarchy and select "position of Lower-level Nodes": above
However, in crystal report, when I recall the database, it is displayed as "higher nodes above." e.g. cost of sales include lower nodes of Material cost and labor cost, it display in Crystal report as:
Cost of Sales                                5000
              Material Cost                        3000
              Labor Cost                           2000
I want it to display as "lower nodes above":
             Material Cost                        3000
             Labor Cost                           2000
Cost of Sales                                5000
I have tried in crystal report desinger- -change group option- sort in original order, in asending, in desending , it doesn't work as "lower node above". (i have to group the account ID)
I don't want to use "sort in specific order" in group option because if it is hard coded, it doesnt faciliate future changes if user changes account group hierarchy in SAP ERP KDH2 (account group).
To sum up, is there anyone can tell me how to show the hierarchy in Crystal Report as "lower node above"?
Regards,
Frances

I find the solution by myselr: just put the account code in crystal report group footer rather than the group header, it will show lower nodes above as
Material cost 2000
Labor cost 3000
Cost of Sales 5000

BPC 7.5 NW Master Data Text Node Load with Hierarchy Intervals - Duplicate

Hi,
Does anyone have ideas on how to get past this error (besides a BADI)?
I am loading master data text nodes from a BW hierarchy (say 0COSTCENTER) that has intervals defined for cost center nodes. The problem is that the text nodes fail since there are duplicate values in the hierarchy table.
Master data (dealt by table level) has errors
Detected duplicate member ID 'F100'
Detected duplicate member ID 'F100'
Detected duplicate member ID '1000'
Detected duplicate member ID '1000'
etc...
Thanks!

Hi Virginie,
You should be able to see an example in many threads; look for an example to Restriction of bw infoobect(not mapped to dim)
You can also make a restriction under the InfoObject name when you run the DM package.
Hope this helps,

Displaying Dimension Hierarchy on Report

Attempting to display accounts in hierarchical form for a department within an EVDRE report.
Memberset for account dimension is LDEP(3),PARENTAFTER,SELF
Works fine for most departments except for a couple.
Done the following:
-Refreshed client side dimension files
-Updated template version
-Refreshed dimension member & dynamic templates from eTools
-Cleared local application information from eTools
Any insight on why and how to fix this issue is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Garvi Koushik

Hello,
On BPC 5.1 SP3
Have already done a full process of the dimension and optimized the application (for good measure). Yet, the issue continues to rise.
Any other insights?
We're considering creating an index property on the dimension and bringing that into the report and sorting by that to get the proper hierarchy to display on the report.
Thank you!!

Essbase API - Account Dimension - Account Type

Hello all,
I'm connecting to a cube that has an account dimension and I need to extract the account hierarchy for a given member name. What I did to get the member information is:
mbrSel = cube.openMemberSelection(null);
mbrSe.executeQuety("<OutputType Binary <SelectMbrInfo(MemberName, MemberAlias, ParentMemberName )"
, "@IDESCENDENTS (\"" + s_member + "\", 0)");
Now what I'm trying to get from this query is the account type(or the account aggregator). Is this information queryable?
Many thanks!
Rafael

In BPC, "Account" can be interpretted fairly generic. Yes each application requires an account dimension and each account dimension member must be assigned a valid account type (Asset, Liab, Equity, Rev, Cost) property. But that is the extent of the restrictions. So in is not uncommon to see the account dimension be used to represent the vendor, the customer, the material, or a key figure. That last option may be necessary if you want to track "statistical key figures" or various types of quantities in your application. Just be sure to utilize the right account type attribute assignment to result in the correct sign handling and accumulation logic for your data.

How to hide member Account dimension from BPC Administrator for Reporting

Hi experts, i need to hide some members of the Account dimension for reporting, because those members dont use it anymore, but i dont want delete them.
The question is: Does it exist any propierties for this dimension type that allows hiding members in reporting without set members in the BPC for Excel?
I can create a report which contain the members i want to show, but if any change occurs (client desire) the report is outdated.
Thank you in advance
Ignacio Vazquez

Ignacio,
There is no function like that.
You can choose below two options.
1. Create a property like 'NOUSE' and set a value 'Y' for unused member
When you create EVDRE report, set a filter against that property that has value 'N'
then those members will not be shown at the report.
2. Create 'NOUSE' parent member and put members under this parent member.
Maybe option 1 is more easier to do that.
I hope it will help you

Error Processing "Account" Dimension in BPC 7.5

Good Afternoon,
I am having difficulties processing the account dimension from the Admin function. I can not save to server or process dimension. I get the following log error message. This is impeding my ability to add or change account information. I recently was on maternity leave for 3 months and I am not sure if it is a combination of inactivity coupled with a new PC?

Plesae advise if I need additional updates to this new computer or if anyone else has seen this error message.
Thank You,

Hi Jennifer,
if you're unsure that your PC isn't well configured please verify this with the 1678822 - Third Party Software Support Matrix For BPC for Microsoft 7.X, 10.X
Then run client and server diagnostic to see if there are problems.
If all ok the dimension file could be corrupted so please change the name of your xls dim file and try to export your dimension, process it and see if ok, if not check the property in the xls dimension file with the modify dimension property in admin console.
Verify also if this note could be helpful 1905831 - SAP Disclosure Management - Uninstalling DM client removes necessary VBE6EXT.OLB file

Issue Processing Account Dimension When Number of Levels Decreases

Hello.
We have an issue processing the account dimension. It started at 8 levels, then decreased to 6 levels. However, the processing errors out. If we add some dummy members to bring it back to 8 levels, then it process fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Nancy

Hi Nancy,
the numbers of levels is not important.
I think the changes done into your dimensions are wrong and adding dummy members is doing correction of that error.
To be able to understand the issue I need to know what version of BPC are you using and it will be good to see also the dimension.
Do you have more than one hierarchy?
Regards
