Ageing Calculation in Bex

Hi,
I need to calculate the Ageing in a Bex Query based on the Current date & Clearing date. To calculate Ageing, i am first trying to get the difference between Current date & Clearing Date. By refering a PDF posted here in SDN for Ageing, i created the Current date as Customer exit & the date value is getting populated for this, i checked this through debugging the Customer exit.
Whereas, For the Clearing date, i created a Formula Variable with Replacement path assigning Clearing date as the Reference Characteristics. As per the document for the Replacement Rule, i gave 'Attribute value' as the Replace with. But for this type, in the Dimension(Last tab in Variable creation screen) 'Date' is not coming up, only Quantity, Amount etc. are coming in. So, in the output, i am not getting the difference in Numbers, instead its giving up the Current date.
Any help on this will highly be appreciated.
Regards,
Murali

Hi Murali,
In the document you had referd to has the data field as attribute thats why in the document reference it was selected as attribute, in your case it will key not attribute as clearing date is itself a char not a attribute of any IO.
select key and check in the last tab you will find date.
Difference of dates will be numeric value only not the dates.
Documents in SDN are only for reference the procedure may warry depending on the business requirement.

FI -Account Statement and Aging calculation

Hi all,
I need to develop an account statement for customer open items (FI) in smartform and also need to do the aging calculation at the end of main window ....for the days like 30,60,90,120,150,and grtthan 150 which is given at selection screen....pls help in this regard
thanx

Hi,
Open Items cannot be archived in SAP even if has met Document/Account Life.
Items in BSIS, BSAS & BSID are all open items.
1) Identify all open-item managed accounts
2) Check which accounts have automatic clearing through SE16 BSIS table
3) DISCUSS and AGREE WITH THE FINANCE TEAM which of these accounts need to be open-item managed. Those that do not have to be OIM can be changed in MASS transaction
4) Block the accounts that need to be changed to non-OIM
5) Run a COPY of RFSEPA03 (of course you have to do testing first). This program changes the status to non-OIM in the master data and line item tables. You have to do this for each combination of company code and GL account. If you have a lot of combinations, I suggest creating an ABAP program to "loop" the program. The combinations can be read from a flat file. Run-time depends on the number of line items that need to be changed
6) Test the accounts for archive eligibility
7) Unblock the accounts if everything is ok
This is safer than clearing. As someone mentioned earlier, you have to be careful with clearing. The same with resetting clearing.
Also, changing an account to set OIM active is very complicated. It involves reloading archived data and could result in huge problems later on. Your totals may not match with line items. This can be accomplished through a copy of RFSEPA02. SAP suggests that you create a new account instead. Knowing this, you MUST be certain that the accounts you change to non-OIM remain OIM.
For aging Calculation:
use the function module to get the customer open items....from BAPI_AR_ACC_GETOPENITEMS Function module.... after fetching the data from the bapi,
.-> read the internal table values and move to the local internal table. and prepare the final table.
.-> as asking aging 30,60,90,120,150,and GT 150 ... declare parameters and also declare the similar fields in form interface in the smartform...
.-> And pass these parameter fields VIA smartform function module....
.-> so now ur values are availble in smartform ....just arrange as per need....
if you still not clear plz feel free to contact me......
Thanks and Regards,

YTD calculation from BEx is not working in Advance Analysis for OLAP/OR Office

I have AA for OLAP based on BEx. There are YTD calculation in BEx Designer: User enters Period in variable, and in user exits, the Period Range is populated as "1 ~ UserEnteredValue" in second variable. In BEx, YTD is calculated based on the Restrictive KF for the period range, calculated in User Exit. This is working fine in BEx Analyzer, however in Advance Analysis (for OLAP OR in Ofice), the YTD value is not coming up they way it is in BEx Analyzer...
Anybody has any clue, why??
Thanking all of you in advance

Hello Sharma
If something is working for BEx Analyzer but not for Analysis OLAP or Analysis Office then this typically (but not always) indicates an issue with the BICS (BI Consumer Services) component.
I would suggest you contact support about this so the appropriate logs can be captured and the issue investigated by the BICS team.

Calculations Translation- Bex vs Transformation

Hello gurus,
here is the line that I d like to translate in BW, and I d like to know what's the better way of implementing it in BW, is it in Transformation (formula/calculation), or in Bex.
result = (1/3) x (sum of prior 3 month balance from date entered) x (number of days in the past 3 months) / (sum of prior 3 month sales)
Assumption is that user 's input is 1 Month period. (please write the line in abap if you re thinking that it is easier).

Create aging bucket in BEx - based on date variable

Hi everyone,
I have a report for which we need to create account receivable aging bucket to classify arrears (1>29 / 30>59 / etcu2026).
Our solution overall architecture is the following :
Source System (SAP) > BW back end...Multiprovider > Super BEx Query > Universe > Webi Report
BW 7.0
BO XI 3.2 SP3.0
In this report, each bucket is defined by the difference between:
-     the Net Due Date (which is the due date of payment of the invoice)
-     and the Current Date (date for which the report is run u2013 can be the date of the day or a date in the past)
We can develop this either in BEx or in Webi, but to avoid potential performance issues in Webi, we take the try to develop this in BEx.
As you can easily imagine, this BEx query will be used for many reportsu2026so not only for this specific report.
What weu2019ve done so far:
1-     We created a variable to prompt the user with the date he wants to run the report for
           - ZTEST is an optional variable, single value, User input, based on characteristic 0CALDAY
2-     We developed RKF in BEx
-     Key Figure restricted by Amount
-     Net Due Date restricted by the variable ZTEST using the between function and an offset (to determine the range)
=> When we save the query we are getting a warning message saying u201CVariable ZTEST for characteristic Net Due Date has been converted to a required entryu201D
Why? (you probably knowu2026) Because my RKF is using a variable with an offsetu2026which automatically turn on my variable as mandatory and no more as optional.
Consequences:
-     In BEx: My variable, which is required to be optional (because we donu2019t have to have this field as mandatory for each and every report running on top of this query) is now mandatory.
-     In Webi: If I use the variable (funnel in webi), my report is working fineu2026but if I donu2019t use it in the webi report, I get an error message saying u201Cvalue required for ZTESTu201D
o     Funnel is configured as optional in the universe designer (so the issue is not coming from here)
=> 2 consequencesu2026same issue
Question: What can we do to keep our bucket logic running in BEx and avoid this variable to become mandatory?
Solutions (potential)
-     Create a custom exit routine to work around this issue u2013 how?
-     Create CKF/Custom exit to create our bucket (using ZTEST as an entry value to determine the range) and then use the created range in our RKF to restrict the amount u2013 how? Not so easyu2026
-     Build the logic in Webi
-     Any other suggestions?
Here we are, any advice would be really appreciated
Thank you guys
Regards
Henri

Hi peeps,
We finally find a solution for this problem! So I can share it with you.
The overall solution is pretty easy to understand.
1st step is to prompt with the user with a 0DATE variable. The date selected becomes a date input for the next step.
The variables is defined as a range [01/01/1900;variable_value)...in order to retrieve the right data set.
2nd step is to use this date to create our aging bucket, dates range.
To do so, we created 4 user exit variables (for each aging bucket).
3rd step is to use these ranges in RKF.
This way you get aging bucket dynamically defined by the user input pretty cool!

Calculation in BEx on Hierarchy Link Nodes

Hello everyone. I am working on a BEx query that involves a hierarchy based on Controlling Area, Cost Center, and Cost Element. There is a case where I have 5 Cost Elements that belong to 2 Cost Centers. I can successfully create the duplicate nodes at the different Cost Center levels and activate the hierarchy. Where I am having difficulty is assigning a percentage factor to the key-figure at the parent-node (80%) and the link-node (20%). The high-level node at CO_AREA is correct. However, the COST_CENTER nodes show the total original value. I would like to apply these factors dynamically in the BEx query. I have tried structures and cell definitions and was able to apply the 80% and 20% factors correctly to the corresponding hierarchy nodes. Unfortunately, the amounts are not broken down as I would like to see them.
I have looked at the documentation on "Link Nodes" and "Modeling Nodes and Leaves: at help.sap.com.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/b3/fa3d3806136268e10000009b38f8cf/content.htm
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/80/1a6743e07211d2acb80000e829fbfe/content.htm
This is from one of the above links:
"For both duplicate leaves and leaves in subtrees under link nodes, the values of the duplicate leaves are only considered once by the system internally. When aggregating, the system automatically calculates what are called correction leaves for the superordinate node.
If a leaf Lo lies three times amongst the descendants of a node No, the value is added three times internally and then subtracted twice by the correction node."
I'm wondering if it is even possible to do what I would like to accomplish.
I would appreciate any feedback and suggestions on how to solve this issue if you have done something similar.
Best Regards,
Albert Pecoraro
Sr.SAP BW Specialist
Ferro Corporation
Example:
CO_AREA_1000 = Total = $1000 (AAAA = $800, BBBB = $200)
-->COST_CENTER_AAAA = $1000 @ 80% = $800
>COST_ELEMENT_100 = 100 @ 80% = $80
>COST_ELEMENT_101 = 200 @ 80% = $160
>COST_ELEMENT_102 = 300 @ 80% = $240
>COST_ELEMENT_103 = 150 @ 80% = $120
>COST_ELEMENT_104 = 250 @ 80% = $200
-->COST_CENTER_BBBB = $1000 @ 20% = $200
>COST_ELEMENT_100 = 100 @ 20% = $20
>COST_ELEMENT_101 = 200 @ 20% = $40
>COST_ELEMENT_102 = 300 @ 20% = $60
>COST_ELEMENT_103 = 150 @ 20% = $30
>COST_ELEMENT_104 = 250 @ 20% = $50

Hi Alberto,
Would you please post the resolution of the issue with the hierarchy node calculation? I too have a simillar requirement. It would be helpful if you share the solution for tha issue that you had.

Calculation in Bex Query

Hello Experts,
I am developing a report with Bex and I would like to achieve the following:
I have 0fiscper on the rows and sales amount KF on the columns. When I run the report, I get the following results:
              Sales
001/2006      40000
002/2006      35000
003/2006      60000
xxxxxxxx
Overall Result xxxxx.
I would like to be able to calculate % sales for each period / cumulative sales YTD * 12 /number of periods. The Overall Result is what gives me the cumulative YTD sales but my question is:
How can I use the period in the calculation? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

hi Rue,
what's no of period here ? total period (12 or 16) ? of total of period displayed like in your sample is 3 period ?
you can use %GT (percentage of overall result),
try to create 2 calculated keyfigures,
one to hold number of periods, and the other for the calculation,
- if you mean total period displayed, right click 'keyfigures' and 'new formula', give description e.g 'no of period', and type in 1 in formula area
- 'new formula' again, double click 'percentage of overall result' in percentage function (you will see %GT), and drag 'sales amount' kf to formula area, then 12 * 'no of period', you formula may look like
%GT 'sales amount' * 12 / 'no of period'.
to set decimal places, right click the ckf and properties.
hope this helps.

How to add % symbol to a KF calculation in Bex

Hi
I am using my own formula for % Calculation in a Bex Formula (Not using an standard % functions)....Is there any way that i can insert % symbol to the result displayed in the report
Thanks

Hi ,
Yes you can use a workaround by crating a new formula (F1) based on your formula ( F2) such that
F1=F2 %A 1
Hide F2 and disply just F1 in your report.Using the above formula you are deceiving your formula to just display its value as a percentage of 1.
This will solve your issue.

Variable to store a result of a complex calculation in bex query

Hello all,
I've got a query in BEX with some key fields to display and also need to perform some calculations not supported in bex formulas.
I think this could be made in a BEX user exit and I'm trying this by creating a project in CMOD assigning EXIT_SAPLRR0_001... Working with INCLUDE ZXRSRU01 and so on.
I just want to know if this is possible this way because I execute my query and the variable created never get any value at runtime.
Could anybody help me or give an idea on how to use BEx user-exits?
Thank you very much,
Carlos Hinestrosa.

Hi!
I think it should work .here are some links to help topics on using user exits.

Age Calculation in Years

I'm rather new to Java, but as a UI designer I've managed to get wrangled into a Java-based project. Anyhow, my mission today is to find the best method of calculating a person's age in years. I will be obtaining the date from a database (using dbSwing), where it is stored in YYYY-MM-DD format as a date.
I can retrieve the value as a String, Date, or a few other types, but given the particular format of the stored value, I wasn't sure which would be best in passing as a parameter to the end method.
In summary, I need to take a YYYY-MM-DD date and compare it to the current date to obtain a person's age in years. I note that there are comments concerning 1970 and wasn't sure if any dates before that year would a problem in this calculation.
I've search about and not really found anything that seems to fit, but again, I'm quite new to the non-UI related parts of Java and any pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Heres my stab at it.
Should be usable with either Date objects or dates in Strings.

               e.printStackTrace(System.out);
     public int age(String sDate) throws ParseException{
       SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
       return age(sdf.parse(sDate));
     public int age(Date birthDate){
          // get todays date
          Calendar now = Calendar.getInstance();
          // get a calendar representing their birth date
          Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
          cal.setTime(birthDate);
          // calculate age as the difference in years.
          int age = now.get(Calendar.YEAR) - cal.get(Calendar.YEAR);
          // now for the tricky bit.
          // set the "birth" calendar to be this year
          // this now represents the date of the birthday THIS year.
          // if that date has not occurred yet, subtract one from age

Ageing calculation in vendor ageing report (urgent)

hi everybody
see i have to calucalate ageing of a vendor depending on following formula , can any one there can help me to achieve this. the formula is as follows--
1. To get the output for ageing---
AGEING = Current Date - Bline date
suppose current date is 18th sep & Bline date is 18th aug then ageing should be 30 days.
so plz specify that how toachieve this.
2. in the same way i want also DUE ON Date
which is nothing but
Due On = BLINE DATE + NO.of days
so plz give the solution that how to achieve both the above.

Function module usage in vendor ageing report for ageing calculation

hi everybody there
as i have to calculate the vendor ageing
which is nothing but
AGEING = Currentdate - BLINE date
so for this i have coded as follows and use the function module but couldn't get the result .it is alwayas showing 0 means ageing is o but it is not like that
parameter:p_date1 type dats.
call function 'days_between_two_dates'
exporting
i_datum_bis = p_date1
i_datum_von = itab-zfbdt
importing
e_tag = itab-ageing
exceptions
days_method_not_defined =1
others = 2.
so what is the bug in it.

hi,
declare ur internal table field , of type BSIK-ZFBDT or sy-datum
thats the only thing u want to do.
the other parameter is sy-datum
data: field like BSIK-ZFBDT.
DATA:lv_diff TYPE i.
CALL FUNCTION 'DAYS_BETWEEN_TWO_DATES'
EXPORTING
i_datum_bis = sy-datum
i_datum_von = field
IMPORTING
e_tage = lv_diff
EXCEPTIONS
days_method_not_defined = 1
OTHERS = 2.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
WRITE:/ lv_diff.
ENDIF.
nw it will work.

Aging calculation with Special periods

Hi all,
I have a asset cube (Cumulative movements) to store values by fiscalyear/period including special period (P13-P16) and requirements to get aging report based on fiscal year/period and report as follows.
Curent | >30days|>60 days| >120 days| >180 days|
Asset Number
I’m getting aging is based on selection period, and with off set (-1, -2, -3 etc.) .
For example, If selection date 002.2014, P2 amount will be in current , P1 amount in >30 days, P12 amount in >60days but in >60days expecting to get from P16 to P12 values.
Please give some inputs to get special periods values into aging backet as Cube is storing special period values.
Regards
Naani.

Hi Naami
Since you can't work with fiscal year period to offset with std values then create a Variable with customer exit and translate fiscal year period to calmonth then offset this one with your values.
Thank you

Date Calculation in BEx

Hello All,
In my report, User wants to see a day counter which is the dfference of a date (date coming from cube) and Current date. For current date we are using 0f_aday sap exit. How we can we acheive this, does it involve any User exits at the back end or can I use a calculated keyfigure to find the difference between these two dates.
Please reply to this as it is very Urgent Issue
thank you

HI AL,
Thanks for the udpate. But I believe we can update any thread if its related with the same subject if its less than 3 years. Is it not right ? I have a mail in my inbox, from some moderator confirming the same. That is the reason I have updated this thread...as its related to the same question and this thread is created n 2011.
Anyway, thanks for the answer. I will change the dimension to date and calculate the difference from the 2 variables.
Reg another doubt, from the below link...
https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:YQS2jPhWysAJ:www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/705734f2-4e85-2e10-2ebf-891d0110de74%3FQuickLink%3Dindex%26overridelayout%3Dtrue+&hl=en&gl=au&pid=bl&srcid=ADGEESjL8dx81tAAJNL0Ln4c2MW4k3yZRDNFsop1pptOc3bQf1xU0Le9e3loFsZXJi5rWuYt3j7yoStGMktsL5XEdV9T3ONzdKay0x5yrIbaUBB3Dpz1Fr6xuggf_IZX-S0Q4WONpBhN&sig=AHIEtbTZfXXLN4gZCsw7qpZXgrkjeCYLcA
what is the field used for Interval ( from, to , range) . You have missed my other question, why am I getting X below the result while doing the date calculation . I mean I am getting the result, but below every row, there is a X . Any ideas ?
