BAdI "Virtual Characteristics and Key Figures in Reporting"

Hello,
When I execute a query in RSRT, the BAdI don't running.
I create a Implementation ZVTOL_OLAP_BADI for the Definition RSR_OLAP_BADI. I activate them with the filter for my MultiProvider.
I found the note 538897, but there is no answer.
When I generate the query, the debugger stopped in the DEFINE-method.
I have includes in the INITIALIZE und COMPUTE-method a endless-loop.
=> it don't work.
I see the query result, but my keyfigure is empty, because the abap-code was not executed.

Hi,
Is your virtual key figure available on multiprovider or underlying virtual provider.
I don't see any option to add a virtual key figure on the top of a multiprovider.
I do have the same scenario but virtual key figure is on virtual cube, not on multiprovider.

Available characteristics and key figures in drilldown reports

Hi,
I'm wondering which table /structure defines what characteristics and key figures are available for drilldown reports (eg. G/L), and if it is possible to add new chars/key figs.
I reckon there must be a structure resembling Report Painter libraries, where you can select fields from a reporting table. I just can't find that structure anywhere.
Any help is appreciated.
Best regards,
Jarkko Kuusisto

For GL the menu path is Financial accounting-general ledger accounting-G/L accounts-Line items-line item display.
Here you select the way the line item display is set up. Also you can select the fields you want and additional fields as well. Some tcodes range from O7F1 and O7FE.
This varies by module but is generally in the line item or information systems section in configuration.
Go to GR21 and drop down the tables and you can see all the tables availble for report painter.
You can add tables to report painter in sm30 in table T804A. That makes it availble for report painter.
please assign points. It is appreciated.

Max no. of Characteristics and key figures stored in infocube

Hi All,
What is the maximum number of characteristics and key figures that can be stored in the infocube?
Best Regards,
Chandan Dubey

Alright,
Now what I know about that is max 255 chars and 255 key figures can be stored. Here I am talking about the individual planning levels (like product, product group, customer, location and so on) and not the "DATA". I know data storage can not be defined in numbers and no significance too.
I hope my question is clearer now !!

How to choose the characteristics and key figures for a cube

Hi Gurus,
To create a CO-PA cube, based on a DataSource, what chars and kfs should I select from std objects? I have the list of fields from the datasource, but how to interpret what infoobject/s are relevant for each io?

To create a CO-PA cube, based on a DataSource, what chars and kfs should I select from std objects? I have the list of fields from the datasource, but how to interpret what infoobject/s are relevant for each io?
Hi,
For CO-PA since it is a generated DataSource, except for the common characteristics ( E.g. Company Code, Controlling Area ) where you get standard InfoObjects for all other Characteristics and Key Figures you end up creating custom or Z characteristics and key figures. This is unavoidable.
Assigning points is the only way of saying thanks in SDN

Maximum number of characteristics and Key figures used in a Query

Hi Experts,
Any Thought on the maximum number of Characterstics and key figures that can used in a Query. I know it impacts performance query and runs for very long time.
Thanks,
Kumar.

Hi Kumar,
Welcome to SDN.
I really did not think about it till now, sharing my thoughts on this -
1. You can use all the characteristics & Key Figure ( & more)in Query what you have in you Cube.
2. Query is suppose to serve a purpose, to deliver you analytics based on some KPI etc & it will have maximum no of char / key figures which human mind could make some sense of.
3. Performance of query actually is divided into three areas -
a. database time
b. OLAP time
c. Front End time
and if you query on not performing well first look at which area is taking maximum time & the optimize that first & there are various ways to optimize each area.
Hope it helps.

Query regarding characteristics and key figures

Hi All,
Can anybody pls tell me in what scenarios a key figure can be used as a attribute of a characteristic?
what are the scenarios in which each type of DSO can be use?

Hi,
Can anybody pls tell me in what scenarios a key figure can be used as a attribute of a characteristic?
if your key figure in trasnctional data level it's give you the Fact.
If you use your key figure in your master data lvel it's give you the present truth.
Like this you have 0Material and Material price has the attribute of 0Material.
read below link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/dd/f470375fbf307ee10000009b38f8cf/content.htm
what are the scenarios in which each type of DSO can be use?
We have 3 DSO in BI 7.
1. Standard DSO : it's contaions 3 tables (New,Active,Change log tables) : If you want overwrite funcationality go for this dso
2. Direct Update DSO : It's Contaion only Active Table : If you want write some data using with APD and BAPI go for this dso.
3. Write Optimized DSO : It's Contaion only Active Table : If you want load mass uploads and stageing purpose we use this dso.
Hope it helps you.

How to add the required characterists and key figures to drill down report?

hi,
i am creating a drill down report using t.code FKI4. however i noticed that some of the characteristics and key figures required by me is not listed in the report catalog. how can i add the required characteristis and key figures to the report catalog?

Hi Inna,
Based on my research, a drilldown report is a layout design that at first hides complexity and enables the user to toggle conditionally hidden report items to control how much detail data they want to see. Drilldown reports are used to change the report
layout interactively. So it wouldn’t affect the rows displayed in the outmost group. Though some rows are hidden when the report is initially run, it will still count them. This is by design.
Furthermore, if I understand correctly, you also expect the outmost group is a dynamic group depends on the drilldown action, right? As per my understanding, this function still cannot be achieved at this moment.
Thanks for your understanding.

InfoSet in SAP BI 7.10 and Key figure aggregation

HI SAP Gurus,
I am new in SAP BI area. I have my first problem.
I want to create a report for the profit of goods.
The cost of goods(cogs) are constant for each material for one month.
The formula to calculate the profit of goods = sales turn over u2013 cogs of month *sales amount.
I have defined in BW time dependent infoObejct with attribute cogs.
I have 2 info Sources. InfoCube for transactional sales data from R/3 and material cogs master data loaded from csv file each month to infoObject.
The info Provider for report is InfoSet (transactional Cube and cogs infoObject) .
My problems are
1) When I create an InfoSet, SAP BW create automatically new technical name for all characteristics and key figures and the first technical name should be alias fr each InfoCube and InfoObject in the InfoSet.
2) The new technical name infoSet erased my aggregation references characteristic (=calmonth)
3) In the report the key figure cogs was aggregated for each customer sales and customers, that means the value of cogs is not constant, when it is aggregated according to customer sales order.
Thanks a lot for your support
Solomon Kassaye

Solomon find some code below for the start routine, change the fields and edit code to suit your exact structure and requirements but the logic is all there.
4) Create a Start Routine on the transformation from sales DSO to Profit of Goods InfoCube.
Use a lookup from the the COG DSO to populate the monthly COG field in the COG DSO.
**Global Declaration
TYPES: BEGIN OF I_S_COG,
/BIC/GOODS_NUMBER TYPE /BIC/A<DSO Table name>-/BIC/GOODS_NUMBER,
/BIC/GOODS_NAME TYPE /BIC/A<DSO Table name>-/BIC/GOODS_NAME,
/BIC/COG TYPE /BIC/A<DSO Table name>-/BIC/COG,
/BIC/PERIOD TYPE /BIC/A<DSO Table name>-/BIC/PERIOD,
END OF I_S_COG.
DATA: I_T_COG type standard table of I_S_COG,
wa_COG like line of i_t_COG.
*Local Declaration
data: temp type _ty_t_SC_1.
*move SOURCE_PACKAGE[] to temp[].
temp[] = SOURCE_PACKAGE.
select /BIC/GOODS_NUMBER /BIC/GOODS_NAME /BIC/COG /BIC/PERIOD from
/BIC/A<DSO Table name>
into corresponding fields of table i_t_COG for all entries in
temp where /BIC/GOODS_NUMBER = temp-/BIC/GOODS_NUMBER.
sort i_t_COG by /BIC/GOODS_NUMBER.
loop at SOURCE_PACKAGE assigning <source_fields>.
move-corresponding <source_fields> to wa.
loop at i_t_COG into wa_COG where /BIC/GOODS_NUMBER =
<source_fields>-/BIC/GOODS_NUMBER and /BIC/PERIOD =
<source_fields>-/BIC/PERIOD.
modify SOURCE_PACKAGE from wa transporting /bic/COG.
endloop.
endloop.
5) Create an End Routine which calculates Profit using the formula and updates the result set with the value in the Profit column.
Given your requirement for the profit calculation
profit of goods = sales turn over u2013 cogs of month * sales amount
Write a simple end routine yourself
*Local Declaration
loop at RESULT_PACKAGE.
<result_fields>-profit = <result_fields>-sales turn over - <result_fields>-COG * <result_fields>-sales amount.
modify RESULT_PACKAGE from <result_fields> transporting profit.
endloop.
As the above start and end routines are used to enhance your sales DSO, your fields for customer number and the sales order should already be in your DSO for drilldown.
Let me know how you get on.

Function module to get the chars and key figures of an infocube

Hi Everyone,
Can anyone please let me know is there any function module where if I pass the infocube name as the input parameter, it has to give me the output parameters its characteristics and key figures.
I require this to display the report in drilldown form i.e first the infocube name and then later its chars-i.e its fiscyear, etc and then compcode..
Thanks,
Prashant.

Thanks the fm is really very helpful, but is there anyother fm or table which stores all the record count of the infocubes in the bw systems according to there infoobjects, say for eg. infocube a has fiscyear and for the year 2000 or 2001 the no:0f records information.
It would be nice if anyone knows is there any fm which gives all these information.
Thanks,
Prashant.

About value type and key figure type

Hello Gurus,
please explan the different usage of about value type and key figure type. what is the typical values for both infoobjects ?
Many thanks,
Frank

Hi,
0METYPE is a key figure-specific info object usually used to define semantics of the individual business key figures in BW (for example, actual, commitment, plan, target values).
Its a bi specific field which is filled from extract structure field named MEASTYPE table COSR
Refer to OSS Note 523742 for how it is filled and the following link for additiona information.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/91/ddd52b9ef30645a338e28aae443807/frameset.htm
Note 523742 - BCT-CO: BW key figure model and R/3 tables for trans. data
This note provides information on the key figure model in the area of BW Content CO-OM. It also gives an overview of the DataSources for transaction data and the corresponding source tables and value fields in the R/3 System.
The key figure model for currency fields in the area of CO-OM contents affects the following info object of type key figure:
0AMOUNT Amount
The key figure itself does have any business semantics.
The semantics of the individual business key figures in BW (for example, actual, commitment, plan, target values) is determined using combinations of values for the following key figure-specific info objects (see also the account model in SEM-BPS, note 407563):
0METYPE Key figure type
0VTYPE Value type for reporting
--> 0VTDETL Details of the value type
--> 0VTSTAT Statistics indicator for the value type.
For example, using transaction SE16, the possible characteristics of the values of this InfoObject can be taken from the above-mentioned master data tables in R/3.
The business key figures on the InfoCubes of the standard BW content were defined as restricted key figures using this semantics of the key-figure-specific characteristics.
The conversion of the R/3 transaction data in the BW key figure model is carried out in the extractors using the ROMI_GET_VTYPE_AND_DETAIL function module. It primarily happens using the specified conversion tables.
The following dependencies exist for the source tables of the DataSources:
COSP_VTYPE for COSS, COSP, COVP,
COSB_VTYPE for COSB,
BPXX_VTYPE for BPGE, BPJA, BPEE
If an R/3 source record cannot be converted using these tables, it may not be extracted to BW.The application log of the R/3 DataSource transaction RSA3 contains entries for the unconverted values after the test run.(The log function for the CO-OM DataSources was considerably improved by the correction for note 523655).
The application log for the extraction runs from BW can be evaluated using transaction SLG1 (Object: RSAP, object information: RSAP_INFO)
Furthermore, the semantics of a key figure are still determined by the time characteristics and the following key-figure-specific info objects:
0CURTYPE Currency type (for more information, see note 517909),
0DB_CR_IND Debit/credit indicator (for more information, see note 065075),
0VERSION CO version

How to create a document on a characteristic and key figure combination?

Hello,
I will need to create for my customer a document on a characteristic and key figure combination. I don't know yet which BW objects will be concerned, but I'm trying to understand how it works.
1) I call the document screen in RSA1.
2) I select InfoProvider data.
3) I click on Create, enter a name and a description and go to the next register (Log.DOc.Properties).
Question: What do I need to select here?
According to SAP Help, the following has to be maintained:
InfoProvider: How can I get my cube diplayed in the list?
Query: Same question. But is it necessary to select a query?
Key Figure: OK
All characteristics for which the Characteristic is Document Property indicator is set: OK
Hide Name: OK
Thanks in advance for you help, Nathalie

Two Key figures in Report Painter column?

Dear Experts,
We have some company codes with group currency setup and others without this. I have created a report painter report with table GLT0. I want ability to produce a consolidated report for all the company codes.
However, when I define the report column, I can only select one basic key figure in the column viz. HSL - Local currency or KSL - Group currency for example. In my report I have selected HSL since majority of the company codes report on local currency.
Is there a way that the program can be told to change the basic key figure during report execution to KSL - Grp Curr for select company codes only?
Or is there a way to have two basic key figures in a report painter column? I know I sound foolish on this question. But still I ask this.
Any thoughts, pls share with me. Thanks.
Vishal Thakur

You are right Sue. But unfortunately way back in the 90's when our company implemented SAP, those company codes did not activate the 2nd LC as USD. Thus, these companies only have figures updated in the 1st LC which is USD.
Subsequently, we acquired new companies overseas and then for these co's we switched on the 2nd LC as USD with the 1st LC as the country specific currency.

How to create a new Characteristic and Key figure ?

Hi !
I am newly trying to learn APO DP and Could anyone please explain how to create a new Characteristic and Key figure in Demand Planning Administrator workbench[ RSA1] with steps?

Hi,
Instead of RSA1, use RSD1 to create Characteristics & Key figure.
1. Go to transaction, select radio button for respective info object i mean Char ot key fig.
2. Enter name of the same & click on create transaction.
3. Suppose it will ask for APO or BW then select APO for key fig. so some new functionality come in to key fig. like key fig. fixing etc.
4. always copy new key fig. or characteristics from standard.
5. after creation activate the key figure.
Hope this steps will help you to create Char. & key fig.

PM Order, cost and key figures

I have created and configured a new PM planning plant, cost center, work center, pm types and all that usual of PM requirement, but still I think something is missing in in the ingredient because when I try to creat a PM order and assign a bunch of operations with man hours to it, I discovered that there is NO cost and key figures showing...basically the estimated cost show $0.00. In other Plant it shows correct est cost.
Any help will greatly appreciate with rewarding points.
Thanks,
Tim

COst in order operations will get summarised under cost tab as labour/internal cost provided-
1.Activity rate is maintained for activity via KP26 for cost centre
2.Cost center is entered into work centre master data.
3.Value category maintained correctly for cost element group where cost elemnt for internal cost is within this group.
In your case it seems missing link is activity rate maintenace.
Thanks
