BI 70 upgrade question - Exception Aggregation

Hi ,
In our upgrade test system we are getting exception aggregation warning "Brain 447 - Time of calculation 'Before Aggregation' is obsolete" .
I know the location where we can change the option ( under "Enhnaced Properties" of the Calculated key figure ) from " Before Aggregation" to "After Aggregation" .
Issue : The warning does not indicate which calculated key figure the setting has to be changed especially if it is used in multiple structures
Question :
1) Do we have to change this manually for each calculated key figure we get a warning ?
2) Does anyone know the BW table which stores the "Enhanced properties" for the "Calculated key figure" OR report which shows the enhanced properties settings. I know the other "RSZ* tables etc ..but could not find the settings for the enhanced properties.
Thanks in advance .

1) Do we have to change this manually for each calculated key figure we get a warning ?
Usually this is done manually.....
2) Does anyone know the BW table which stores the "Enhanced properties" for the "Calculated key figure" OR report which shows the enhanced properties settings. I know the other "RSZ* tables etc ..but could not find the settings for the enhanced properties.
You can check the RSZCOMPDIR table to see if you can get this information - this table has details of all the query elements...

How to find the value of date char used as exception aggregation reference

Hi BI Gurus,
On a BEx report I need to list three things by material:
1)   the open (not yet delivered) Purchase Order quantities
2)   the PO quantity to be delivered next and
3)   the date that belongs to the next delivery
The model supports these data i.e. for each material I can list all open quantities by Purchase Order / Item / Schedule line and the scheduled delivery dates are also available as a characteristic.
Determining 1) is easy as the drilldown is fixed (materials only) the open quantities get summarized for all PO-s belonging to the materials.
To determine 2) I used a Calculated KF simply including KF 1) =Open PO Qty in the definition and setting Exception Aggregation (first value) with a reference char of the delivery date. This gives back the Open PO Quantity to be delivered first.
My question is about how to determine the 3rd value (actually this is not a KPI but a characteristic value). In other words, for each materials I would need to determine the first among all of the possible delivery date char values of the open PO Items / schedule lines. This is the date the quantity shown in the 2nd KPI will be delivered on.
Does anybody have an idea how to approach this issue?
Thanks for you help in advance,
Attila

Hi Olivier,
Thanks for your suggestion. I got a bit closer with the replacement path formula variable and the CKF. I tried to apply the same logic of KPI 2) but for some reason it did not work. Actually, it delivers the right value but only when 0SCL_DELDAT (Scheduled delivery date) is in the drilldown But what I need is the first delivery date by Material only, and without this 0SCL_DELDAT drilldown.
Any other ideas?
Thanks and bye,
Attila

Exception Aggregation help in Bex !

Hi Experts
    Iam creating a query with date calculations. I have the following calculations in my qry...
1 . Cycle Time      : ( Doc Date - Quote sent date) ....I created two replacement path variables and use them in formula.
2 . Nr of Quotes    : ( Count of all sales orders with Block L1 & L2) ...I created a CKF for counting the nr of docs then used that CKF in an RKF to filter by block.
3 . Avg Tender Time : ( Nr of Quotes / Doc date - Quote rec Dt) .........Created a formula same as 1 with Quote rec dt instead of Quote sent then created another formula to make 2/3.
    Now when I execute the query Iam getting numbers but
    Cycle Time I took Exception Aggregation as Counter for all detailed values and ref char as Doc Date....Its giving some nr as output...but my question is if I take doc date as Ref char how it gets the calculation from replacement
    Does any one have worked on date calculations as the above situation / any one have any how to's which explaines how to find date calculations with exception aggregations?
Thanks in advance...

Non Cumulative KF VS Normal KF with exception aggregation

What is the purpose that is served by "non-cumulative key figures" and is not served by "normal key figures with exception aggregation"?
Inflow and Outflow can also be mapped into a single key figure at update rules level.
Why un-necessary complications like two additional KFs and marker update etc?
Why can't we store actual inventory value on daily basis in a NORMAL key figure with exception aggregation on time?
Also, I heard that data amount will be huge if you don't use non-cumulative key figure. I am not able to understand why?
I HAVE ALREADY GONE THROUGH ALL THE HELP DOCUMENTATION AND ALL THE PREVIOUS THREADS. I DID NOT GET ANSWER TO THESE QUESTIONS.
THANKS IN ADVANCE,
Anup

Anup,
Q1: Why can we not store the actual inventory against the person -
In this case you will end up storing day wise information of stock for the person / material - this will lead to increase of your data volumes depending on the scenario.
Example :
Day Level stock only
Record Structure :
Material | End of day snapshot Stock| date
pipe | 100|20.2.2008
pipe|100|21.02.2008
pipe|100|22.02.2008
pipe|80|23.02.2008
Here you can notice that the material pipe has been sold on 23.03.3008 and no sale has happened previously - however since your extractor will give you end of day stock for all materials you will get 2 additional records
In an opening and closing stock scenario
Opening stock
Marker|
pipe|100|20.02.2008
opening stock|closing stock
pipe|100|100
pipe|100|100
pipe|100|80
Here the values will get overwritten and compared with the marker and calculate that the stock is 80 or 100 depending on the date. I am not able to give a proper example but hope I have addressed it in part.
Also it is a Non *** KF because if you look at stock for pipe over 3 days you will get 300 in the first scenario - this is wrong
and for the next scenario with opening and closing stock
it will ideally be
100 ( your marker) -100100-100100-100+80 = 80
this calculation is done at runtime and gives the right output.
In the other case you can check stock only on a date basis and with the assumption that the stock data is current for that day.
Hope it addresses youor question.

Exceptional Aggregation in Query Designer

Hello Gurus,
we have an existing Report at the Material Level on the InfoCube.
Each Material may have multiple POs and we are having multiple
records for each PO varying the date. Now the user want to view
only the record latest changed Record at the PO level
and Sum of all the records at the Material Level.
For this i have created a CKF using the Exception Aggregation
as Maximum for the 0calday. But client want the Report at Material Level
he dont want the PO's details. When i remove the PO from the report
it gives the result for only the latest PO not all the PO for that Material.
For Example we are having below records in the cube.
PO             Material     Calday       Qty         Price
101            ABC          1/12           100         10
101            ABC          2/12            100         10
101            ABC          3/12            100         11
102            ABC          4/12           100         10
104            ABC          5/12            100         10
103            ABC          7/12            100         11
I am getting the result with PO in Rows as Below
PO             Material     Calday       Qty         Price
101            ABC          3/12            100         11
102            ABC          4/12           100         10
104            ABC          5/12            100         10
103            ABC          7/12            100         11
When I remove the PO's From the Rows then it will display
as below i am placing the calday for under standing the
question actually it is not present in the output of the below report only.
        Material     Calday       Qty         Price
          ABC         7/12          100         11
Which is not currect I have to get the Result as
Material            Qty         Price
    ABC              500         42
My Concerns:
!. Kindly let me know if it is possible and what are the
other things that i need to consider.
2. Did it will impact the performance.
Waiting for your quick replies
Thanks & Regards

Hi KK
Confirmation:
First I need to confirm one thing,
as you mentioned expected output is,
Material            Qty         Price
    ABC              500         42
But I think, it should be
Material            Qty         Price
    ABC              400         42
right?
Answer:
Can you please try below steps and let me know whether it is working as expected or not
Create a basic Key figure for calday and include it in your InfoCube. In the transformation, assign it to same fileld which is a source of calday.
In query, Create a calculated key figure based on calday key figure with exception aggr as last value and reference characteristics as PO.

KF aggregation/exception aggregation options

Hi
There is one KF that has defined as
1)aggregation option SUM ,
2) Exception aggregation option Last Value
3) aggregation Ref char 0CALDAY.
4)cumulative value radio button s option is on in Cumulative/Noncumulative values option.
These options can be found in KF declaration in the second Tab.
I understand that from the query point of the KF will display last value/given calday. What is the use of aggregation option SUM (option 1 above)? can you give me one example please.
also one more question what is the use of Ncum Value with Ncum Value change?
Thanks
Vennela

Hi,
Here you have specified that aggregation type should be 'last value' for reference characteristic CALDAY. For all other characteristics, it shoule be SUM. That mean if calday is part of query, then KF will have Last value for CALDAY. If calday is not part of query, then it will be summation.
For ex, lets assume that we have calday, cost center as characteristics and head count as keyfigure. When you have both calday and cost center in your query, then it is going to display last value of KF head count in the result, which is practical.
if you have only cost center in your query, then head count value will be sum for that particular cost center. We might have many sales offices in a cost center, so head count will get aggregated for all sales offices under cost center.
Hope this clarifies.
Best Regards,
Rajani

Zero-Elimination And Exception Aggregation

Hi experts,
I'd like to compress a cube with the option of zero-elimination. Online help says: "Zero-elimination is only allowed for InfoCubes that contain key figures with aggregation behavior u2018SUMu2019 exclusively." (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/ca/aa6437e7a4080ee10000009b38f842/frameset.htm)
The key figures of the cube I like to compress all have aggregation = SUM but some of the key figures have exception aggregation <> SUM. Will the data of a cube still be fine after that compression?
Thank you for your ideas!
Volker

Dear Andrei Bushkevich and Swapnil Dharia,
thank you for your response! In my question there is a double ** wich originally stands for the sign of "NOT EQUAL".
So the sentence is:
"The key figures of the cube I like to compress all have aggregation = SUM but some of the key figures have exception aggregation NOT EQUAL SUM."
@Andrei Bushkevich
No that I've corrected the text - are you still sure that I can do the compression with zero-elimination?

Volker

Exception Aggregation (Average) displaying incorrect values after EHP1 Upgr

Hi All,
Exception Aggregation (Average) displaying incorrect values after EHP1 Upgrade in our BW system
We have recently upgraded the system to EHP1. After the upgrade some of the queries where we are using Exception Aggregation (Average) started giving the incorrect values.
Eg. We are displaying three Key Figures KF1, KF2 and KF3 (=KF1 %A KF2) against Store Hierarchy. In KF3 we are using Exception Aggregation (Average) on a characteristic 0PLANT.
There are 14 rows against 0PLANT and out of those 2 rows are blank for KF1, so for KF3. When it is calculating the average of these key figures its dividing the total value by 12 instead of 14 which is not correct in our case. Earlier it was dividing the total by 14.
So in this case 'Average' and "Average of all values <>0" are behaving the same way.
Kindly provide some inputs on this.
Best Regards,
Sachin Verma

Hi,
Thanks for viewing the thread. And happy to let you know that the issue was resolved.
The solution was:
Two formulas (local) were created, one including the formula variable with replacement path for ZD1, with exception aggregation on ZD1, and the other with formula variable with replacement path for ZD2, with exception aggregation on ZD2. Both these formulas are hidden.
Another formula (local) was created for u2018time takenu2019 = formula with ZD1 u2013 formula with ZD2, with exception aggregation total on u2018ZDOCNOu2019.
For the second instance, when one requires exception aggregation on records that has multiple values for keys, a nesting of formulas can be done displaying only the ones required.
For e.g. a formula with exception aggregation on say characteristic u2018item no.u2019 can be hidden, and included in another formula for exception aggregation on characteristic u2018document no.u2019. This is a typical case where one can achieve calculation before aggregation for a calculated key figure, formula or a counter.
Hope it might help someone, and saves time and effort for a similar issue posted.
Also would like to keep this thread open for exploring better solutions.

Vijay

FBL5 FIAR - exception aggregation - count customers with open items at key

Hello gurus,
I have read the information about counting all values in reference to a characteristic. I manage to count how many customers have a FIAR open item 'billing status' = Open in my FIAR cube.
Now I am asked to replicate transaction FBL5 of R3. This transaction will give you open items at a given key date by adding
the items with
A) Item status = 'O' and posting date <= key date
and the items with
B) Item status = 'C' and posting date < =key date and clearing date > key date.
I calculate the net value by creating 2 restricted key figures and then adding them in a CKF.
But for counting I have a problem. I can count how many customer make up the open items (case A)
and how many customers makeup items that where cleared between key date and today.(case B).
But I cannot sum the two numbers as there might be customers that are counted in both cases.
For example I have 4 customers that correspond to case A : 1000 1011, 1012 and 1014
And I have 3 customers that correspond to case B 1000 , 1011 and 1013
I would like to get 5 as the number of customers that verify either case A or case B (or both).
Is there a way to do this with the exception 'aggregation 'and 'count all values' property of CKF ?
Claudio

Hi,
The logic given in the above post may be a bit confusing to you. Check out this explanation and try to understand what I mean.
Posting Date - PD
Key Date - KD
Clearing Date - CD
PD--KD--
CD
-O(Status)-C--O-----C
-5107-----8
Let me explain the above table.
Between PD & KD there are 5 count with status'O' and 10 counts with status 'C'.
Between KD & CD there are c counts with status 'O' & 8 counts with status 'C'.
This means 5 with status 'C' becomes 7 between KD & CD.
Similarly, 10 status with 'O' becomes 8.
The logic I am trying to say is..
If you don't want to get counts with status 'C'(repeated) as I understood) 7-5 = 2. Show this 2 as count for status 'C' between KD & CD.
So the table will become like this now.
PD--KD--
CD
-O(Status)-C--O-----C
-5102(7)---2(8).
In braces shown are the total with status 'O'/'C' for the dates.
I hope this will solve your problem.

How to find the list of Queries/Reports which are using Exceptional Aggregation in SAP BI?

Hi All,
We are interested to know how to find the list of Queries/ Reports which are using Exceptional aggregation in SAP BI.
Please let us know is there any table's to check the list of reports using Exceptional Aggregation in SAP BI.

Hi,
Here you go..
1) Go to table RSZCALC and get list of ELTUID where AGGREXC is not INITIAL and AGGRCHA is not initial; now you get only exception aggregation set based on some chars. Also you can further add STEPNR = 1 since your intention is just to get query name , not the calculation details; this will reduce number of entries to lookup and save DB time for next steps.
Here you will get list of exception aggregation UUID numbers from which you can get properties from RSZELTDIR.
2) Pass list of RSZCALC-ELTUID to table RSZELTXREF - TELTUID and get list of RSZELTXREF -SELTUID - this table stores query to it's elements maping kind.
3) Now again pass RSZELTXREF - SELTUID into same table but into different field RSZELTZREF - TELTUID and get RSZELTXREF - SELTUID
This step you get query reference sheet or column or query general UUID for next step.
4) Pass list of RSZELTXREF - SELTUID into RSZELTDIR - ELTUID with DEFTP as 'REP'. Now you get list of query names in RSZELTDIR - MAPNAME and description in TXTLG.
Note: you can also get the reference chars used for exception aggregation from RSZCALC - AGGRCHA field.
Hope this helps.
Please keep in mind, it might take more time depends on how many query elements you have in the system...

Bex Exception Aggregation in 3.5 equivalent to 'TOTAL'

Hi All,
Can anyone help me in getting a functionality equivalent to exception aggregation 'TOTAL' in BW 3.5.
I have a requirement which can only be fixed using the exception aggregation 'TOTAL', my bad in my current client they dont have BI 7.0. So can anyone tell me what is the equivalent function of 'TOTAL' in BW 3.5.

I need to develop a report which will show Org unit & degree (education data) wise head count and annual salary.
As the education records for an employee will be more than one, the annual salary will be doubled or tripled in the DSO or cube.
If I do an average of annual salary based on employee the overall result goes wrong.
Say for example, empl 20045789 as three record with KF value 10,000, the result in the report I see as 30,000.
SAY in the backend
EMPLOYEE    | Degree | Annual Salary
20045788 |     A | 50,000
20045788 |     B | 50,000
20045789 |     A |10,000
20045789 |     B |10,000
20045789 |     C |10,000
In the query I get it as
Org Unit |      Employee |     Annual Salary | Average(Annual salary/ Number of employee)
100001 |           20045788 |     100,000 |          50,000
100001 |          20045789 |     30,000    |          10,000
overall result                130,000 |          26,000 (130,000/5)
The expected result is 50,000 + 10,000 = 60,000 / 2 = 30,000.
Pls provide me solution.

Anand

How to determine the "Last Value" in exception aggregation

Hi gurus,
I have a KeyFigure with an exception aggregation -Last value- by time.
I report on a multiprovider ("containing" a infocube and a realtime infocube with BPS-InputLayout). I can correct separate Items with this BPS-Layout. So, at the end I have 2 values for one item.
So, by these facts, my report shows the the last value for the specific KeyFigure, but I expected that both values (the value in the infocube and the correction via BPS)are sumed up.
As this is due to the exception aggregation not the case, I could "overwrite" the normal value in the infocube with the BPS.
But SAP determines the normal value in the Infocube as "Last Value", not the one in the correction cube, which is entered via BPS.
How does SAP determine the "last value" as I can´t see any date...
Thanks in advance!

Thank you for your answer...
I got the soltion by myself.
I thought, Last Value means the last Value, depending on the time, but in my opinion the function last value should be called "Greatest Value".
All figures with the same value for the reference characteristc are aggregated anyway.

Problem with exception aggregation

Hi forums,
Can any one help in this issue?
We checked the data in the ECOM cube for the order 63349312 where it is giving 6 records eventhough we are deleting the adjacent duplicates of the order number in the start routine. (Is it like the deletion of adjacent duplicates happen in data packet level instead of happening in the entire cube level? B'cos the same order might present in the different packets.)
    Hence the data is aggregating for the key figure, 'Number of Days' in the ECOM report. But if we check the keyfigure properties in the RSA1, there we selected the Exception Aggregation as 'First Value' and aggregation reference char as 'ZN_CORD' (Order number). Still it is aggregating the number of days value in the report.
Regards,
Charan.

Hi Rohit,
         We are doing same procedure as you mentioned. We assigned order number as refer characteristic to keyfigure No. of days in infi object level. But this operation is not working in report level
