Aggregates on GL Line Item Cube

Hi Gurus,
I am creating a couple of queries on a GL line Item custom cube that I created and feeding it from the GL line item ODS and it is taking a while for 2 of the queries to run, probably because almost all the columns are calculated.
One of the queries is using just 2 GL accounts and I restricted it to just the 2 GL accounts,so I am wondering if it will make any difference if i created an aggregate based on those 2 GL accounts to see if that will increase performance on the query?
Thanks

More than aggregates, try to cache the query results; as only 2 GL accounts and navigation will be minimal.
Monitor entries in table RSDDSTAT. An analysis of this table for your query will help a lot whether aggregate will be of nay help or not. Accroding to SAP, if the time spend by the query engine in database is more than 30% of the total time to execute the query, then aggregate may be considered.

Creating a Summary Cube from Line Item Cube

Friends,
1. I have a GL Line Item cube that gives me item level information
2. As I needed to create a summary cube I copied line item cube adjusted dimensions (removed Line Item) and activated it.
3. When I loaded the summary cube from Line Item cube I got same number of transactions
What have I missed? I want to summarize the info at GL Account level; or at any other info object level.
I have done this before but it did not work this time. I think I have missed a step.
I will be looking forward to your recommendations!
Thanks for reading this!

Hi,
Just removing tick against Line item will not work. You have to remove that characteristic from the cube. As this characteristic is High cardinality , you need to remove it from he cube.
Decide at what level you want to have aggregated data and keep only those characteristics in the cube.

Query on FI AP:Line item Cube

Hi bw guys i have one query on FI AP:Line item cube(ZFIAP_C03).The cube is customised and it resembles the business content cube 0FIAP_C03.I would like to know that what is the use of the customised cube (ZFIAP_C03).What does the cube analyse and what are the fields that are based on the factor that the cube analyses.
for example the cube 0SD_C03 is a sales overview cube and it is used to analyse actual sales at the following levels
company code
sales org
sales district
region
sales office
sales employee.
i would like to know that what does a FI AP:Line item cube(ZFIAP_C03) analyses and what are the levels that the cube analyses
the characteristics in the cube ZFIAP_C03 are
Company code
Branch

Dunning level
Last dunned
Clearing
Payment method
Reason code
Terms of Payment
Cash discount 1
Cash discount 2

Thank You.

It looks almost identical to the std content AP cibe and s used to analyse vendor payables
Ie creditors balances and the ageing of them and the dat aoriginates from BSIK and BSAK inside R3

Query on FIAP:Line item cube

hi bw friends
I would like to know that the cube FIAP:Line item (0FIAP_C03) enables us to view about what?
for example
the infocube enables you to view information about sales and billing documents from R/3
such as:
dealer wise/customer wise monthly sales and sales return
sales representative wise monthly sales and sales return
branch wise sales and sales return.
i would like to know what does the cube FIAP:Line item enables us to view?
thank you

Hi,
The 0FIAP cubes extracts data from Account payables module from R3. The cube gives you the information about the payables(How much the company has to pay its vendors). The best use of the cube can be done for ageing analysis of payables. The characteristics used can be vendor wise, material wise, company code wise etc..

FI_GL Line items cube

Hi friends,
I have installed 0FI_GL_4 data source to extarct FI-GL line items. And i connect it to 0FIGL_O02.
And from here for which cube we have to load data means what is the standard cube for FI-GL line items.
I am unable to find the same..
Please tell me what is the standard cube in business content for FI-GL line items
Thanks &Regards

Gaurav,
There is nothing to give details for this question....There is something you can get directly in help.sap.com documentation...As far as your post was concerned, it was only the Link Farms which you have provided where there was a descriptive question and that needs to be answered with explaination...Moreover this is not the place to bring out any personal Rivalry.
Moderators, please do take care of these kinds of posts for any questions.

Data loading into 0FIAR_C03 Line Item Cube

Hello Gurus
I am bit new to FI extraction and stuck with this problem. I am aware that we can see extract structures by tcode sbiw in r/3 and lbwe for LO cockpit. When I use SBIW in r/3 i don't see anything for FI/GL, FI/AR, FI/AP. All I see is financial accounting -special purpose ledger. Is there something wrong with my IDES version ( which is 4.7 by the way) or I should be looking somewhere else ?
Thanks
PJ

13 line item dimension cube into BWA?

I have heard earlier that BWA does not support line item dimensions due to swap of data between blades. not sure this is still an issue.
My cube has 13 line item dimensions. For performane reasons, we created 13 line item dimensions as cube storing 240 million records and user want to analuse all this data.
I want to push this line item cube to BWA for better performance and like to know the impact.
thanks for advance replies.
Thanks

So far there is nothing worrisome in your description. 300M recs is not mind-blowing. The areas of watch-out:
1/ There used to be performance implications with line-item dimensions in the past, when number of records in dimension was higher than number of records in fact table. But it was 2-3 years ago...
2/ Once you put something on top of BW, like BO in your case - you need to check where time is spent, because in the past communication between BI tool and BW used to have impact as well. Make sure you have latest patches there.

Financial reporting and balance carry forward at Line item level

Hello
We are in the process of implementing a new GL and using it to create Balance Sheet and P&L statements in BW.
We have installed the new datasource for GL line items 0FI_GL_14 and loaded the data to a DSO. Installed the 0FI_GL_10 (totals infosource) as well.
Also we created a custom infocube on the line items DSO and want to use it to report against a Financial Statement Version. In order to do that we created a
virtual cube with the FM and added the necessary Financial Statement Item and other key figures in the virtual infocube.
Now I want to know is it the correct way to create financial reports?
Can we load totals and Line items to the same infocube? Do we have to load totals to a different DSO/Cube or same Cube?
How do we address the Balance Carry Forward on the Line items cube? Since the balance carry forward is done on totals only, and the cube I created is a detailed cube is it possible to carry forward balances at that level?
Also can someone let me know what is the best approach to create financial reports and give drill down capability at the document level?
Thanks in Advance
Raju Kosuru

Now I want to know is it the correct way to create financial reports?
NO .. Its not.
Can we load totals and Line items to the same infocube?
NO
Do we have to load totals to a different DSO/Cube or same Cube?
Yes.. SAP has delivered C10 for Totals and O14 for line items... No point in creating cube for line items i.e. on top of O14.
Balance carry forward can be done on totals only (that is how totals extractor _10 is designed), U can not do that on the Line items. Pls contact functional consultant for clarification
Best approach is RRI (Jump targets) for _10 report to _14 report to give drill down capability at the document level.

AP Line Item issue

Hi Gurus,
I have an AP report which I need to generate using some fields from the purchasing area which are not available in the AP line item cube.The fields am missing which are going to be needed are :
PO # - Purchasing order Number from EKBE -source field is EBELN
Item - Which is coming from EKBE - source field is EBELP
Material - coming from EKBE - source field is MATNR
Do we have to use a multicube for this or what is a good work around for this?
Thank you

Hi,
you need to create an append structure in the structure of the extractor from RSA6.
The second step, is to go in CMOD transaction and add an abap program in order to populate the new fields: Enhancement and Preassignment of Fields:
The SAP Enhancements (SMOD) and Project Management of SAP Enhancements (CMOD) transactions are available for the enhancement and preassignment of fields for connections.
There are seven enhancements, IEQM0001 to IEQM0007, each with one customer exit.
Table EQUI contains connection data (equipment data). The customer include CI_EQUL is used to include customer-specific fields in the database table. You can only store customer-specific fields for time-independent data. You can use the field selection to display fields for device and connection (both based on equipment) differently.

Full data load for vendor line items 0FI_GL_4

Hi Experts,
i need to delete the data from the vendor line items cube and load all the historic data from r/3 production, so how do i proceed, i am assuming that there is no setup table concept for this since its FI, so how do i do this and what are the steps that needs to be done on r/3 side as well as BW?
Thanks,
shetty.

Its pretty simple in FI. There are no setup tables like LO extraction.
1. Double click ont he cube in BW and delete all the requests. make sure all of them are deleted. (or) you can right click on the cube and say "delete data".
2. As youa re working on production make sure ur requests and data are completely deleted. Check twice
3. Activate your master data.
4. replicate datasources and activate transfer structure in BW
5. Load data from BW
I would think twice to delete data from a cube particularly in production. I don't know your situation but if I were u, I would create another cube copying the cube and then load all the R/3 data into the new one.
Good luck.

Line Item 0BATCH is used In Aggregate

Dear Masters
I have used aggregate on cube. When I excuting query in query designer, it's taking much time to display the data. When I checked aggregate, it's giving warning message below
Line item 'Batch number' is used in aggregate
System Response
If you are dealing with a line item that has many characteristic values, the aggregate can become as large as the InfoCube. This means that there is probably no advantage in having an aggregate in this case.
This message does not appear in the expert mode.
Procedure
Check the number of characteristic values in the line item and delete the line item from the aggregate, if including it means that the aggregate is too large.
What I want to do to avoid above warning message.
Do I want to uncheck checkbox of line item for 0batch or delete the that field from aggregate
Thanks in advance
Raja.S

hi raja,
u can remove the line item from aggregates dimension.
allow the system to propese an aggregate from the quey otherwise.
prerequisite for a system to propose a aggregate is the cube should have atleast one query on it.
check out the performance in RSRT and RSRCACHE .
RSRT with aggregates compare the time of execution and consider deleting the aggregates.

Aggregates for master data & Line item Dimension

Hi i have question
1 Can we create Aggregate for Master Data?
2 Can we create Aggregate with Navigational Attributes?
3 Can we create Aggregate with Line Item Dimension?
4 How many dimension we can add with how many characteristics in it if we create a new Aggregate

1 Can we create Aggregate for Master Data? - No
2 Can we create Aggregate with Navigational Attributes? - No
3 Can we create Aggregate with Line Item Dimension? - No
4 How many dimension we can add with how many characteristics in it if we create a new Aggregate - You can create a maximum of 13 dimensions in the cube.You can add as many characteristics for an aggregate,adding many characteristics in the aggregate is as good as having the query fetch data from the Cube instead of the aggregates.
Aggregates are subsets infocubes derived from the main InfoCube to increase the query performance.You can create as many aggregates you want in an InfoCube.
For each aggregate,internally dimensions are created based on the selected characteristics.
Take a look at this link for detail information...

Loaded Cube Modification in BI 7.0 (Line item Dimension)

Hi
We need to modify the cube 0CA_C11, as in one of the dimension it conatian huge data , we planed to make that line item dimension , by creating new dimension and move some Object to the new dimension.
in BI 7.0 is there any option that we can can create a new dimension with out deleting the data.
We tried in Remodling in that there is no option of creating new dimension
kindly suggest me
many many thankz

Generate delivery items for packaging materials but aggregate in one line

Hy, we have a requirement for delivery process, we have WM and we make picking by RF, and automatic generate items for packaging materials, but one line per pallet and the deliveries have a lot of line items that we want to aggregate in only one line item, instead of having for e.g. 30 lines with one pallet we need to have one line item with quantity 30.
can you help us,
Thanks in advance.
jonh

Hi,
You can very well achieve this by usinh a spilt routine in your copy control from sales document to delivery document.
Goto tcode: VOFM - Data transfer - deliveries.
For this you need to write a routine with the help of your ABAPer & to include logic something like this:
You have to identify some unique feild in the two material or even the material code itself.
Then in the routine logic, you pass this feilds in the combination criterai field in delivery that is "ZUKRL"
Then in copy control sales doc to delivery: you attach this routine in header details in data transfer "Header Data"
See the code below for your help:
SELECT SINGLE PRAT1 PRAT2 PRAT3 PRAT4 PRAT5 INTO (MVKE-PRAT1,MVKE-PRAT2,MVKE-PRAT3,MVKE-PRAT4,MVKE-PRAT5) FROM MVKE
                  WHERE MATNR = CVBAP-MATNR
                  AND   VKORG = CVBAK-VKORG
                  AND   VTWEG = CVBAK-VTWEG.
IF NOT MVKE-PRAT1 IS INITIAL.
ZUK1-C+0(1) = 'O'. "FOR OIL
*LIKP-ZUKRL = ZUK1.
ENDIF.
IF NOT MVKE-PRAT2 IS INITIAL.
ZUK1-C+0(1) = '1'. " FOR FRAGILE 1
*LIKP-ZUKRL = ZUK1.
ENDIF.
IF NOT MVKE-PRAT3 IS INITIAL.
ZUK1-C+0(1) = 'N'. " FOR NON FRAGILE
LIKP-ZUKRL = ZUK1.
ENDIF.
IF NOT MVKE-PRAT4 IS INITIAL.
ZUK1-C+0(1) = '2'. " FOR FRAGILE 2
LIKP-ZUKRL = ZUK1.
ENDIF.
IF NOT MVKE-PRAT5 IS INITIAL.
ZUK1-C+0(1) = 'B'. " FOR BULK / OVERWEIGHT
LIKP-ZUKRL = ZUK1.
ENDIF.
   LIKP-ZUKRL = ZUK1.
CONDENSE LIKP-ZUKRL NO-GAPS.
endif.
Hope this helps you

Dhananjay

Re: Line item dim of cube

Hi
I have changed one dim of the cube as Line Itm dms with one char. Moved the remaining char to newly created dim.
I have another cube(cube2) with same scenario.
1)Both are the part of infoprovider.How should go about the dims of the MultiProvider.
2)MultiProvider dims properties doesnot show line item option.
3)How should I go about the query.Do I need to make any changes in the query.

HI
One More question
I have a multiprovider..which contains only one cube...in which two dims are made as Line Itm dim.
Now when I try to activate the MultiProvider it gives the error.Most of the dims are as per the cube
in the Multiprovider.
I see that old chars exists in the dimensions which are made as the line Item dm.Can change the
structure of the multiprovider.along with this do i need to make any changes.
When I try to activate the multiprovider it gives the following error
