Aggregation level in only bps ?

hi friends,
can we need aggregation level in reporting for only bps module or for normal cubes also. so what is the if we use for normal cube alos.,
Tu
suneel.

Lets say you have fiscal period, fiscla year, GL account, amount, qty, product in the cube. But you wish to plan for GL account, fiscal period, fiscal year. Then you create an aggregation level for this and plan on GL account.
Similarly, you wish to plan for product, fiscal period, fiscal year and amout, then you create another aggregation level and plan for product.
Under this level, you further have filters, in which you restrict the values for the characteristics that you wish to plan.

Aggregation level - design question

Hi, All
we are in BI-IP ( Netweaver 2004s SPS16).
I have a design question for this scenario.
User needs to plan the amounts for a duration (start period and end period), Jan2008 -Dec2008 (001.2008, 012.2008) = 12000.
We need to distribute this to the periods equally. 001.2008 = 1000, 002.2008 =1000 .... 012.2008=1000.
If the user changes the period amounts, it should be reflected back in the duration amount.
Pl suggest the design for the aggregation levels to achieve this.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Velu,
As the name also goes, creating an "aggregation level" will only result in "aggregation". What your requirement is, is called disaggregation or distribution - this cannot happen automatically - you will either have to use the feature in input queries or use the distribution planning function or create your own planning function using fox/exit.

Aggregation level query "value help" = Only Values in InfoProv doesn't work

Hi,
I have a problem with Selection Variable for a BEx Query :
- I'm working with SAP BI 7.0 support package 15
- My query is an input ready query built for an "aggregation level" based on "real time infocube" (Planning);
- Characteristic, I want to filter with variable, has query property Advanced->Query Execution for Filter Value Selection = Only Values in InfoProvider
- Characteristic (info-object) has set the property: Business Explorer tab--> Query Def. Filter Value Selection as Only Values in the info-provider...
My problem is:
when I execute a query,
the Select Values for Variables screen appears
I push on the Select from List button
and Select Values For MyCharacteristic appears...
but it shows me all values in master data table of my characteristic instead of only values in the infoprovider!!!
If I build a query for the Real Time Cube it works correctly, but if the query is built for the aggregation level it doesn't work!
Could someone explain me why it doesn't work correctly?
Thanks in advanced

Dear Fede,
Regarding the query built on aggregation level please note the following
the aggregation level is always a Virtual Provider built other
InfoProvider and hence it does not have the dimension table and hence
the F4 mode D is not supported.
Therefore when aggregation level is used in a query, F4 does not supportD-mode: 'Only Values in InfoProvider' and all master data values are
displayed in the value list.
Reference from the note
984229 F4 modes for input help as of SAP NetWeaver 2004s BI
4. Since other InfoProviders do not have a dimension table, the system
displays only posted values if you select "Only Posted Values for
Navigation". Otherwise, it displays the values from the master data
table.
Hope this should clarify your doubts. Please let me know if you have
questions else please confirm the message at your earliest convenience.
Thank you for your cooperation and kind regards,

Can a CR work only for one aggregation level and not other ?

Hi Experts,
I have a real time infocube (RTIC) over which there is a multiprovider, on top of which I have built 2 aggregation levels.
There are sequence of 2 characteristic relationships (CR's based on exit class) defined for the same RTIC.
Is it possible that the CR's be functional for one aggregation level and not in case of second aggregation level ?
Thanks and Regards,
Pankaj

Additionally let me explain the scenario in more detail:
The difference between 2 mentioned aggr levels is that of 0CALMONTH which is checked in second aggr level.
0CALMONTH is assigned as target char in first CR, hence both the CRu2019s work for input ready report built on first aggregation level and do not function with input ready report built over second aggregation level.
Therefore I wish to skip the complete execution of CRu2019s for I-R reports based on 2nd aggregation level.
As CR of type with derivation is functional only if the target char selected is not present in the aggregation level.
Please let me know if any more details are required.
Thanks,
Pankaj

Aggregation Level Vs Multiprovider

Hi Folks,
Can some one can explain me what makes to use Aggregation Levels as we have an option of building Read Input Queries on Multiprovider it self?
Is it a mere performance issue or else thats the only way we need to go build a Input Query.
Also can some one tell me how I should final Layout after I have designed a RI Query in Bex Designer. So far my understanding is to Execute that Query
1. Bex Analyzer or else
2. Go and hook this query by using WAD.
What difference that really makes me in terms of functionalities between both layouts except for the Visual Feel might be different one in Excel and other on Web. Any major bottle necks here?
I really appreciate any kind inputs here for my above concerns.
Points will be assigned.
Thanks in advance for every input on this.
BI-IP Guest

Ravi/Manyak,
Thanks for your responses. I appreciate that and I understand that we cant build Input Ready Queries on regular Multiprovider.
How to decide like whether we should go with Multiprovider or Aggr Level for building my Ready Input Queries.
Ravi saying that it's when we want to do manipulations or else while using Planning Functions.
I find BPS more easy to understand when seen with IP especially when I built Lay outs. Atleast in BPS we can feel on what we are building. But here in IP Iam getting Confused on how to build Rolling Forecast Layouts and also using Aggregate Levels/ Multiproviders. Iam saying this in general what my situaion is.
Any comments for Knowledge Transfer will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,

Customer Exit in query on aggregation level

Hi,
I try to have variables filled with a customer exit.
The coding of the customer exit is correct, this have been tested in queries on multiproviders.
Unfortunately it is not working when these variables are used on level of aggregation levels.
What I would like to achieve:
We have some planning queries on aggregation levels. Different users can plan on the same query (and aggregation level), but not for the same set of data. Therefore the query should be restricted to the authorized values. Unfortunately we can not switch to the new authorization concept (analysis authorizations) yet, but we already need this functionality very soon.
The customer exits are the only possible option. Unfortunately it seems that the customer exits are not being executed when the variables are used in queries on aggregation levels.
The variables are not ready for input and should be filled in I_STEP = 2
Is this normal? If so, is there a work around?
Thanks in advance for quick replies!
Kind regards,
Bart

Hi,
You can debug your query by putting the break-point in your exit code and execute the query in RSRT. This way you will be able to find if your customer exit is actually being called or not. If it is being called then there can be some logical problem with your code due to which the variable values are not getting populated.

Deepti

Aggregation level includes filter objects...

Hi,
We are using a BO universe on top of a BEX query to create WebI reports.
We now run into the following problem when filtering on a certain characteristic in the BO query.
The result set of rows is limited to the correct values, but not aggregated up to the requested aggregation level. The problem exists whether the key figure is defined as having an aggregation to be database delegated or sum.
In the query results we see the number of rows being pulled back is too high, the results displayed are correct (because aggregated by WebI). In the example below we selected three stores, but not store as a result object.
*** Query Name:Query 1 ***
** Query Properties:
Universe:Retail Sales and Stock
Last Refresh Date:9/2/10 2:29 PM
Last Execution Duration: 33
Number of rows: 4,947
Retrieve Duplicate Row: ON
** Query Definition:
Result Objects: Style Code, NSLS @ PCS
Filters ( Only RMS Billing Documents Infoprovider
AND Given Legacy Division Set
AND Given Currency Conversion Type
AND Store Key In List { 1001; 1002; 1003 }
AND NSLS @ PCS Not Equal 0
We cannot attach a document, but the actual amount of rows should have been 2,856,
the number of different style in these 3 stores.
When we include the store object in the results, we can see the number of rows stays the same (proof that it did indeed return rows on a store level and not aggregated upt to the style code...
*** Query Name:Query 1 ***
** Query Properties:
Universe:Retail Sales and Stock
Last Refresh Date:9/2/10 2:09 PM
Last Execution Duration: 13
Number of rows: 4,947
Retrieve Duplicate Row: ON
** Query Definition:
Result Objects: Style Code, Store Key, NSLS @ PCS
Filters ( Only RMS Billing Documents Infoprovider
AND Given Legacy Division Set
AND Given Currency Conversion Type
AND Store Key In List { 1001; 1002; 1003 }
AND NSLS @ PCS Not Equal 0
Is this behaviour fixed in any fix pack? Or did noone address this problem?
The problem becomes a real problem when the user wants to select everything u/i a certain date.
The number of rows are then pulled back on a style/store/day combination and easily reached 100.000 rows.
Thanks for any insight you can give on this,
Marianne

Hi Rik,
Thanks for at least trying
I didn't try this before, so I just did, despite the fact that the aggregation level only has something to do with the way data aggregates within webi. (I'm that desperate)
No difference, other then the fact that I now get #MULTIVALUE in the cells with multiple underlying rows.
Anyone else?

Aggregation level and planning filter question

Hi,
I have below questions on aggregation levels and planning fitlers.
Scenario: An Aggregation level is built on a multiprovider( Actual Cub1(5 chars, 4 keyfig), Actual Cube2(8 chars, 6 key fig), and Real Time Cube3(8 chars and 3 keyfig)). A FOX copy function has to be built on this aggregation level in which data from cube1 will be copied to cube 3.
1. Does an Aggregation level need to have all chars and keyfigures from cube 1 and cube 3? or it should have structure of Cube 3 only as data will be written to cube 3?
- what are the standard design considerations for defining aggregation level?
2. In planning filter, both cube1 and cube3 are to be restricted or only cube3?
Is it necessary that only target planning cube is to be resricted? In that case how function will get the source data from cube1?
- what are the standard design considerations for defining planning filter?
Please provide some info on this...
any document on design consderations for planning object will be great.
Thanks,
Pundari.

Aggregation level and filters in bi 7.0 reporting

hi friends,
what the use of creating aggregation level and filters in reporting in bps.
if u have any videos for bps, please send me links.
thanking u
suneel.

Aggregation levels and filters are spefic objects used in Integrated Planning; they did ot exist in BPS. Aggregation level is similar to planning level and filter is similar to planning package. Agg levels and filters are the essential objects for planning with Integrated planning.

Question on aggregation level "%" (percent) in aggregate definition

Hello,
I would like to find out all the aggregates that have at least one navigation attribute of a specific characteristic (let's say 0CUSTOMER) in their definition. The idea behind that is to find out which aggregates are potentially affected in a change run by a master data change for the 0CUSTOMER characteristic.
Well, I looked in table RSDDAGGRCOMP for entries that met the selection criteria {OBJVERS = 'A'; IOBJNM = '0CUSTOMER_*'}
For all navigation attributes of 0CUSTOMER - except for those that can actually be seen in the aggregate definition screen (launched via "Maintain Aggregates") - there are records that have as aggregation level (field AGGRST) '%'. What does this aggregation level mean and why is it in that table? That field description ("SAP-internal use only (technical:facts)") doesn't really bring me forward.
An aggregate, that only contains '%' as aggregation level in RSDDAGGRCOMP for navigation attributes of char 0CUSTOMER is not affected by a change run regarding the master data change of 0CUSTOMER attributes, is that right?
Thanks to any replies in advance.
Regards,
Philipp

Empty Aggregation Level - Need user to put in entries when none exist

Hi, I have an aggregation level for Version, Material Family, and a Key Figure. The Cube has no data planned at this level when the user 1st starts to work with their version.
I am trying to find a way to get the user to be able to input a Key Figure Value for some Material Families.
I would either like the users to see a list of Material Families and input the Key Figure Next to the Material Family
or
I would like the user to input a Material Familly and the associated Key Figure for each family value they have. Thus creating entries for the Material Family Values they would like to run a planning function on.
I have been able to create a query that shows a list of Material Families and an input enabled Key Figure Field. When I put the value in and Save the Value gets saved to "Unassigned" Material Family even though I put the Key Figure Value next to a displayed Material Family.
I have also been able to create a query that does not show the Families but has an input record. The same thing seems to happen. I input a family value and key figure value, save, and it gets saved to "Unassigned".
I have tried working with Characteristic Relationships, but it doesn seem to work when I'm just working with 1 characteristic like Material Family. Here's an example of my issue: Link:[http://i27.tinypic.com/n1a1wn.png|http://i27.tinypic.com/n1a1wn.png]
Am I going about this in the right Way
Is there a way to have the user add data where there is none?
It seems I have such a simple scenario.

Hi, Thanks for following up. I simply need to have users input the Key Figure Values for a single "Family" Characteristic. I am simply trying to create "Family" Records for which no planning data exists and it is totally eluding me. The Aggregation Level only has Family, Version, InfoProvider. Version and InfoProvider are in the filter.
I have successfully created an input enabled query and also added a input line at the bottom. If I input input a value next to a Family or if I input a new family and save the data the values just end up in the unassigned family. To get the families to show up in the query I have the Family Characteristic Advance settings (in query settings) set to Master Data
Please take a look at the below link for an example.
Please let me know what I have to do so users or myself can create Family records in my aggregation level!

Cross-Aggregation-Level Selection Evaluation indicator

Hi,
Can any one explain me the meaning of the below statements in the two paragraphs. This is for "Cross-Aggregation-Level Selection Evaluation indicator" in alert monitor.
If the Cross-Aggregation-Level Selection Evaluation indicator has not been set in the SDP alert profile, only planning objects that exactly correspond to the aggregation level defined in the selection are taken into account. This means that the planning objects contain exactly the characteristics of the aggregation level. Planning objects that have additional characteristics are not taken into account.
If however, the Cross-Aggregation-Level Selection Evaluation indicator is not set in the SDP alert profile, the system takes into account not only planning objects that exactly correspond to the aggregation level of the selection but also those containing additional characteristics.
Example
If you use a selection with the aggregation level 'Product' in the SDP alert profile and set the Cross-Aggregation-Level Selection Evaluation indicator, alerts will be issued not only for this product but for the relevant location products.
Thank you.

Hi Datta,
Let me go further with my data model first.
Selection criteria:
Sales organisation = CZ01
Sales statut = active
Standard / promo = standard
Product size = A, B, C, D, E
Aggregation level:
Sales organisation
Distribution chanel
Division
Product size
What I understand of the 546079 OSS notes:
Distribution chanel and division are to be out of the aggregation level. Moreover in my case, there is only one value possible.
What I understand of the 374681 OSS notes:
The system searches for all the characteristics of the sales organisation * product size (of the aggregation level) that match the selection. At that step, APO should select only active and standard skus for CZ01 sales organisation and A, B, C, D, E product size. Afterwards the system searches for all the characteristics combinations that fit the chosen aggregation level and aggregates its values.
My question is: does APO disaggregate on the ID selection?
The characteristic combination I see in the job log are those defined on the aggregated level taking into account the sales organisation and product size restriction defined in the selection ID.
Thank you for your return.

Input Ready query based on aggregation level

I have an input ready query that reads data from an aggregation level, based on a multiprovider that contains a cube for planning and a cube with real data.
There are two columns of data, two of them for read-only and another for input.
I´m selecting different fiscal year/periods for each column.
The problem is that, when I select fiscal year/periods and the real data cube doesn´t contain any data for this filter, it doesn´t show me a line to input data anyway..
how do I configure the query so that it understands that eventhough I don´t have data for the selected period, I still want to be able to perform the planning?
Thanks,
Cris.

Hi Christina,
Even though there is no Data in the Real time Cube the Query must allow you to Input values. I guess the Query you have designed is not enabled for input yet.
Kindly check the following Points before proceeding.
1. In the Query properties under Planning tab, make sure the Start Query in change mode is turned On.
2. Make sure you have used all of the characteristic in the aggregation level in the Query and is restricted to single value.
3. make sure the columns are Input ready under the Planning tab in its properties
Hope this Helps.
Regards.
Shafi.

DP Disaggregation and Aggregation levels

Hi all,
I have a question regarding disaggregation and aggregation levels.
KFu2019s and disaggregation setup:
KF001:
Calculation type: I (not relevant)
Disag. Key Fig.: KF000 (not relevant)
Time-Based Disaggregation: K (not relevant)
Time-Based Disag. Key Figure: (not relevant)
KF002:
Calculation type: I
Disag. Key Fig.: Keyfigure001
Time-Based Disaggregation: P
We are now interested on the KF002. KF002u2019s disaggregation is based on KF001. I am trying to copy KF001 values to KF002 with a macro that is attached to a background job. Macro doesnu2019t do anything else than copy values from KF001 to KF002.
Background job setup:
Selection:
Sales organization: 2000AB
Location: 1000EF
Product: 1 to 2000 (consists 2000 products, including products that do not belong to above location)
Excluded values:
Customer group 1: 2500AB
Aggregation level:
Sales organization
Location
Product
Customer group 1
What I try to accomplish (through background job - mass processing):
I am trying to copy values with above setup so that the most detailed level which is Customer group 2 would have values through disaggregation. I have successfully copied values to product level, location level, sales organization level but the customer group 2 level values are not as KF001u2019s. Values are right in the SUM level, but not disaggregated right to customer group 2 level.
I get right results when I choose Customer group 2 to the aggregation level but this is not something we can do as it causes way too long runtimes. What I am also interested in is that how come the disaggregation does not work properly or does it? How can I get the disaggregation work so that I only have to select the aggregation levels which are defined in the selection and get proper results through disaggregation to customer group 2 level?
Thanks in advance,
Juha

Hello Juha,
You do not need another macro, just make the above change to your original one, and the macro should work.
Your aggregation level in the job should also be OK.
Since you mentioned that the values at detailed level are not the same as key figure 1, it sounds to me that the system did a pro rata disaggregation. Do you have the key figure 2 totally cleared out before copy? Since you're using disaggregation type 'I', it only disaggregates based on another key figure when the key figure value is initial.
So my suggestion is, you can try to change the key figure's disaggregation tyep to 'P' and check if the macro works.
Or if you have to use type 'I', you should add a step in the macro before the copy step, to initialize key figure 2 first.
To initialize a key figure, just put the row in the step, and for the 'Change Mode', select 'Initialization'.
Best Regards,
Ada

Copy Query between Aggregation Levels

We wish to copy input-ready queries between Aggregation Levels using NW2004s, however the old BW transaction RSZC to copy queries only appears to work for queries on InfoCubes or MultiProviders.
Does anyone know if it is possible to copy queries between aggregation levels or do we need to manually recreate them each time?
Cheers,
R

Hi RM,
I have also been looking for this when setting up integrated planning.
As far as I know, you have to manually recreate them.
Please assign points if this solved your problem,
Best Regards,
Filip
