Infoset query of vendor payments at the cost distribution level of the document

We would like an infoset query of vendor payments at the cost distribution level of the document. The issue seems to be joining vendor to the document cost distribution lines.
1.) BSAK + BSIK can be combined with an infoset data structure but only contain the vendor line of a document; the cost distribution lines are not in the tables.
2.) BSIS + BSAS can be combined with an infoset data structure but lack vendor data and joins (to a vendor source) are not an option with data structures. Vendor data added with an additional field is too slow to be a primary selection field.
3.) Logical data base KDF in an infoset returns only the vendor line of a document, not the cost distribution lines.
4.) Logical data base BRM in an infoset can have vendor from BSAK/BSIK attached by an additional field but performance is too slow to be useful. Joins are not an option in a logical data base infoset.
5.) Complete data is lacking when table joins between document cost distribution tables and vendor data tables are possible, (SPL actual line item table & BSIP or FMIFIHD & FMIFIIT). BSIP lacks AB documents (reversals). FM tables lack general ledger only documents.
6.) BSAK and BSIK together have complete vendor data but joins of both to a basis table are not an option. Left outer joins are too slow, inner joins won’t work since the tables have mutually exclusive data.
Does anyone know of any other options?

How to document a query/report from HR-Infoset

Hi,
we developed some queries from our own HR-Infoset. As our users are not
allowed to work directly on this infoset or its queries every query has its
generated report. The users call these reports through a transcation code.
Unfortunately we have not found a solution to make some documentation for
each query. As the reports are generated, documentation is not allowed there.
If i press F1(Help) on a report of personnel administration (e.g. S_PH9_46000216 jubilee list)
a browser is opened with an appropriate description of the pa-reports.
Do you know any possibility to document a self developed query/its generated report?
Thanks in advance.
Harald

Found it..Query name is P2. It was in a different query area..Standard area and not custom area where I was initially looking at.

Infoset Query Wrong result after removing document number in the drilldown

Hi Friends,
I have 2 oDS,billing ODS and Condition ODS.I have created an infoset query based on these two ODS.
From my Billing ODS i need QTY and from Condition ODS i need Value,Discount etc.
Since there are more than one record in condition ods for each and every document of billin gods,i have divided the qty using number of records in the query.
Im getting wrong qty if i run report based on customer or material,but if i drilldown based on document im getting the correct quanity.
Can any one help me..
Thanks & Regards
Sudhakar

Thnaks Oscar and Ganesh for your interest.
FYI,my infoset is created based on bill doc and item number which is available in both the ODS.
Here,for every document in Billing ODS,there are more number of documnets in Condition ODS,so the bill qty is getting added according to the numvber of records in Condition ODS.
Eg.Billing ODS: Doc Num:100012, Qty = 8.if 10 records are ther in condition ODS,then in the infoset my QTY becomes,
Doc Num:100012, Qty = 80.
So in the query i divided it by number of records to get the qty and is coming correctly for documnet wise report.
Problem comes when i remove documnet from the report and drilldown to higher level,say material,then it is calculated wrongly.
Your suggestions plz..
Regards
Sudhakar

Creation of a Marketing Profile Set based on the standard CRM_MKTTG_BP_BIRTHDATE Infoset thru the WebUI Segment Builder

Objective: Creation of a Marketing Profile Set based on the standard CRM_MKTTG_BP_BIRTHDATE Infoset thru the WebUI Segment Builder.
Problems: Standard CRM_MKTTG_BP_BIRTHDATE Infoset DOES NEVER RETURN ANY RESULTS on the segmentation builder of the WebUI client (no matter the filter you specify).
Other cases: However if we create a new Data source with data "Extraction from Query" (transaction RS02) based on this standard CRM_MKTTG_BP_BIRTHDATE Infoset and we test the functionality using transaction RSA3, IT DOES RETURN RESULTS (using the same filters as in the segmentation builder)! Of course the segmentation builder works with other attribute lists.
NEW: IF WE DON’T ESPECIFY ANY SEGMENTATION BASE IN THE PROFILE GROUP, IT DOES RETURN RESULTS!!! (GO TO THE END OF THE DOCUMENT FOR DETAILS)
Steps followed:
Review Standard Infoset CRM_MKTTG_BP_BIRTHDATE (Transaction SQ02).Review Data Reading Program code: do we have to change the standard code? We have only remove the "BREAK-POINT" statement.
Creation of a Data source based on the standard CRM_MKTTG_BP_BIRTHDATE Infoset (Transaction CRMD_MKTDS).
Creation of an Attribute List based on that standard Data source and selection the Birth date as a filter in the Attribute list (Transaction CRMD_MKTDS).
On the segment builder of the WebUI set any filter (Example: “TODAY”).

Count target group. Here I would like to stand out that once you click on the “Count” option, immediately it shows 0 results. In other words, it doesn’t process any information. With other attribute lists it takes some time to process, no matter the filter or the attribute list you use. However if we create a new Data source with data "Extraction from Query" (transaction RS02) based on this standard CRM_MKTTG_BP_BIRTHDATE Infoset and we test the functionality using transaction RSA3, IT DOES RETURN RESULTS (with “today” filter and other)! So it seems that the problem has to do with the segment builder, not the Infoset.
Result: it never return any results no matter the filter you specify.
Other cases:
Creation of a new Data source with data "Extraction from Query" where you enter the name of your new query
Creation of a Data source based on the standard CRM_MKTTG_BP_BIRTHDATE Infoset

We specify the Data source:

But we need to create this Profile Set based on a particular Segmentation Basis called BS Usuarios Registrados. Why is not posible to select Category 02 Segmentation Basis in the creation of the Attribute List???

It seems that the standard Infoset doesn’t work by itself with Segmentation Basis. Two SAP notes have been applied and a new Field Group has been added to the Infoset (in order to distint the Segmentation Base).
CRMT_MKTTG_IS_BIRTHDATE-MGRGUID
1966298: MGR_GUID is not populated correctly to infoset read program
2007687:Segmentation InfoSet queries saved with incorrect Master Group
For that reason we had to create a new Infoset based on the standard CRMT_MKTTG_IS_BIRTHDATE, but adding this new Field MGRGUID to the Group Fields.
Issue solved

I need to load an InfoCube from an InfoSet - Is this possible in 2004s?

Greetings,
<b>This question looks long, but it's really not. I'm just trying to give a lot of detail about the screens that I am seeing. Anyway, here goes:</b>
I am in 2004s. I want to load an InfoCube from an InfoSet. I know that an InfoSet is just a view and does not physically store data, but recent documentation published by SAP seems to indicate that this is
possible in 2004s (There is a document called "Developer Guide - 2004s" that says the following:
"InfoSets are an additional, easily manageable data source for generic data extraction. They allow you to use logical databases of all SAP applications, table
joins, and further datasets as data sources for BI". )
So... that led me to believe an InfoSet could load an InfoCube. In other words, the InfoSet would be the source and the InfoCube would be the target. I am in RSA1, and I right-click on the cube that I want to be the target. I select the "Create Transformation" option from the context menu. In the "Create Transformation" screen that pops up, I enter "InfoCube" in the target object type field and the name of the InfoCube in the target name field. I enter "InfoSet" in the source object type field and the name of the InfoSet in the source name field.
I get a pop-up that says "Cannot generate proposal". I click the green arrow, and then I get an error message
that says "Transformation does not exist (see long text)".
When I click on the error message, I get the following information in the Performance Assistant:
"Transformation does not exist (see long text)
Message no. RSTRAN010
Diagnosis
The transformation specified by transformation ID , source and target , does not exist.
System Response
The system terminates processing."
Any help would be much appreciated! It seems like it must be possible to use an InfoSet as a source in a data load, or else it would not be an option in the "Create Transformation" screen. ????
I've also tried right-clicking on the cube and selecting "Create Data Transfer Process". I enter the same information on this screen: the types and names of the source and target. Then I get a pop-up that says "Source and target have not been linked with a transformationDo you want to generate a default transformation?". There are two buttons I can click: one labeled "Yes" and one labeled "Abbrechen". I choose "Yes", because I have no idea what "Abbrechen" means.
Then I get the same pop-up from before: "Cannot generate proposal". I hit the green arrow, and I'm back in the
"Create Data Transfer Process" screen. So... I'm stuck in an infinite loop of screens that I can't get out of.
If someone could help, I would be grateful! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

Thank you so much, Ram! I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP!
I am wondering if it possible to manually create a node in RSA6 for the InfoSet. I tried it by doing the following:
I went to RSA6 and clicked on the white icon for "Create Node". I then entered the number "8", followed by the name of the InfoSet. (I entered an "8", because all our DataSources seem to start with an "8". I'm not sure why.)
The DataSource now shows up, but when I double-click on it, nothing happens. When I select it in the hierarchy and then click the icons for "Display" or "Change" or "Check", I just get an error message that says, "You have not selected any DataSources."
Also, do you know where I can get my hands on the white paper?
Thanks again!

Infoset BI - not showing created on - variable in a query

Hi
I created an infoset based on two cubes, in one of the cubes used in the infoset - the Billing cube I have my document dates-created on (0createdon) infoobject.
When I try to create a query reporting of the infoset, I can see the infoobject but not all the variables in the created on. At least 4 variables are missing from the Created on object.
Any thoughts?

Hi Michelle,
If you have created four variables and selected all four variables and you still can't it all, it could be because the criteria of your variables are similar and the system ignore some of them. have you check the messages from the BEx status area? it is on the bottom left hand corner of your BEx.
cheers.

Infoset functionality in BI-HR

HI all,
I worked on infoset, but functionality of Infoset with time dependent objects is different. Can any one share there experience with infoset scenarios in HR module implementations.
0HR_PA_0 and 0HR_PA_1 doesn't support delta , then how to capture deltas for these datasources. Can any one suggest approach to achieve delta capture mechanism with BI_HR implementation.
What is the functionality of KEY DATE IN HR-BI, I know that key date will be applicable for time dependent master data objects.I need some more inputs about this concept.
Regards,
rvc

Since most of HR reports requires EMPLOYEE, HRPOSITION, JOB and ORGUNIT information, so u need to create InfoSets with couple of these master data objects along with cube/DSO.
u2022 Inner join: A record can only be in the selected result set if there are entries in both joined tables
u2022 Left outer join: If there is no corresponding record in the right table, the record is part of the result set
(fields belonging to the right table have initial values)
u2022 Temporal join: A join is called temporal if at least one member is time-dependent.
If there are InfoSets with time-dependent master data, do not restrict the data by the fields Valid from (0DATEFROM) and Valid to (0DATETO). See also an example in the Data Models using InfoSets section of this document.
When u implement Time Management & CATS need to set up Time types and quota types etc in source system. For PA & OM I do not think U need to do any config.
Most of HR datasources (except time management and CATS) doesn't support delta. So, daily load process chain would delete complete data and do a full load.
The key date contains the date for which time-dependent master data is selected. You determine the key date either in the query definition (query properties) or supply the value using a variable. The default value for the key date is the date on which the query is executed, that is <today>. If you select 01.01.1999 for example, time-dependent data is read up to 01.01.1999.

It would be ideal to have vendor in BKPF, like FMIFIHD has, but it isn't a field.

Link between Material Document number & Accounting document number

Hi All,
For material document there is a corresponding accounting document number generated.However this is not the rule in all cases.
Where is the link between the two(Material Document & Accounting Document) ?
In other words i want to list those material documents only, for which accounting documents are generated.
Regards
Piyush Kothari

STEP 1
SAP query way to extract your information.
Create an infoset SQ02 with a single table MKPF. (include key fields in the field group)
Step 2
From Extras
Create an additional field called zawkey (like bkpf-belnr) which will concatenate the MM document number MKPF-MBLNR and MKPF_MJAHR. The sequencing shall be number 1.
You may use this code below and paste also (this needs authorization as well)
data: zzawkey like bkpf-awkey.
clear: zawkey, zzawkey.
concatenate mkpf-mblnr mkpf-mjahr into zzawkey.
zawkey = zzawkey.
Add another field called ACCDOCNO (accounting documnet number) with sequencing number 2 with following code.
data: zaccdocno like bkpf-belnr..
clear: zaccdocno, accdocno.
select belnr from bkpf into zaccdocno where
bukrs = ccode and
GJAHR = MKPF-MJAHR and
awkey = zawkey.
endselect.
accdocno = zaccdocno.
Step 3
Include the additional fields into the field group.
Step 4
Click on the selection tab and create a parameter called ccode with a description Company Code and against
LIKE BKPF-BUKRS
Extras OBLIGATORY
Step 5
Click on the selection tab and create a seelction criteria pdate with a description Posting Date for the field MKPF-BUDAT
Extras OBLIGATORY
Step 6
Save, Generate and assign the infoset to a user group.
Step 6
Create a SQ01 query under the usergroup with all the fields in the infoset. and Execute. Enter a company code and one date of a working day where you expect material transactions.
The result will be all the material documents and their corresponding accounting documents, if available. If you want to see only those material document that do not have corrsponding accounting documnet, then while you are in the selection screen say accounting document number is not equal to blank.

Crystal Report Missing SAP InfoSet, SAP BW Query Connector

Hi,
I have installed SAP GUI for Windows 7.2 (Compilation 2) and Crystal Report 2008 SP2 then following by installed SAP Integration Kits 3.1 SP3 on my workstation. However, when i launch my Crystal Report designer, it do shows SAP toolbar however when i click on one of the icon (eg: Setting) the entire CR will hung and prompt me error and exit automatically.
Beside that, i could not find any connector for SAP (Eg: SAP InfoSet, SAP BW Query and etc) when i create a new blank report by click on the New Connection.
Appreciated anyone know this could assist on this.
Thank You.
Regards,
CK

Hi Ingo,
Thanks for your prompt reply. I will sort it out and ensure the release version will be the same as Inter Kits.
By the way, i saw your post regarding the Integration Kits installation and configuration. However, i still need some clarification; appreciated you could assist me on this.
I have installed SAP BOXI3.1 SP3 on an LINUX machine (Redhat Enterprise 5) and the server was running fine without connecting to BW or SAP eCIBS.
Now, i have to establish the connectivity to BW (InfoCuve and BW Query) and SAP eCIBS system. As my customer requirement was required to using WEBI, CR and Xcelsius for connecting to BW for getting the data and then using scheduler in BOE for performing report distribution. Some of the report will connecting to SAP eCIBS directly and that will using our Client's machine for creating the report (using CR2008) and then publish to the BOE platform for report scheduling and distribution.
My question, i wish to install SAP Inter Kits and downloaded Inter. Kits for SAP Solution 3.1 SP3 from service market place. When i refer to the document from help.sap.com; there are couple of section but i wish to know which are the perquisite section that i wish to install and configure?
Eg: System Requirement which are installing SAP RFC SDK and SAP JCO SDK into my BOE server, then following my create a logon token. How to to that? It also require to install SAP Java Connector and SAP GUI, does these two available for LINUX OS as well?
The steps in doc was confuse, appreciated your kind help.
THanks.
Regards,
CK.

SQ02 - Issue on a infoset which doesn't order the results

Hello to everyone,
I'm experiencing some issues when creating a Infoset and implementing the relative query, as the results aren't ordered by the first field which is the Primary Key of the first table of the join which composes the Infoset. Here are the details:
I've created a query on the following JOIN:
DFKKKO >> ERDB >> ERCHC
Plus, i've implemented some code to mess the query so that it returns some additional field with custom values.
One of the target of this query is to have the output sorted by DFKKKO-OPBEL, which is the key of DFKKKO, but it seems that when I ask for a big amount of data, the output isn't sorted at all.
Is there a way to ask the infoset via SQ02 or the query via SQ01 or some coding within the additional fields, etc.. to sort the output by certain fields? In this particular case, I'd like to order for the first output field which is the key of the first table of the join.
Thank you very much in advance.
Best regards,
Claudio

Hello Arbind,
thanks for your quick reply, i'll be start testing it immediately, but I've seen that apparently this method sorts the extraction after it is done. Even though it could appear strange, I should keep a progressive number while elaborating each row of the selection, so for example I'll count in this way:
record 1 - counter 1
record 2 - counter 2
record n - counter n.
Actually, my problem with sort was that record 1 has the key 1, record 2 has the key 2018, record 3 has the key 58, so the counter 2 points to a wrong record.
Your solution is really helpful, but do you know actually if I can put a sort or order by directly in the main selection by indicating something somewhere?
If it isn't possible, i'll start thinking of an alternative solution for the counter problem (which is a counter of the billing rows in a document, instead of a simple counter).
Thanks also to Christian for the answer!
Thank you very much.
Kind regards,
Claudio

In an infoset 12 line items when there is only one line item in the documen

I have created an infoset which consists of cube, and 3 ods. in the infoset i displayed the data of the cube for billing document and material. Actual line item is 1 in the document (billing) but displayed as 12 items i.e bIlling document number and material are displayed in 12 lines.
extraction in r/3 is checked and in the cube data is displayed . everything is ok except the infoset.
Please provide solution

The behaviour of infoset depend upon your join conditions. Just check the join conditions.

How to select a new table in logical database after creating the Infoset

I have created a abap query report ,i have used logical data base ADA in the infoset in SQ02.In the logical database i had selected only two tables then ANALV and ANLB.Now my client wants one more field to be added and thats is from table ANEK.Now i need to select this table in logical database ADA.
Please assist on how to select another table available in the Logicaldata base now which i didnt select when i created the query
