BW authorizations at report level

hi,
i have a requirement to restict user's access to certain cost centers on a report.
i have created a new authorization object and switched on the reporting authorization on the cube for this object. i have created an authorization variable and this report is working like it should. But the issue is that when i switching on reporting authorization at the cube level, every query on the cube is getting affected. is there a way i can turn on this reporting authorization on the report level rather than the cube level and not affect the other queries?
thanks,
Parthava.

Mark the Cost center Infoobject as Authorization relevant (RSD1 -> infoobject -> Business Explorer tab -> Authorization relavent) and restrict the user to the corresponding costcenters using correspnding authorization objects.

Organization Units Authorization on user level

Hello experts,
Is there a way to add authorization for an organization unit (i.e. Company Code) on a user (SU01) level and not on a authorization objects (PFCG) level?
For example,
I would like to create the following Role (profile):
ZFI_AP_REPORT_DISPLAY
This role should be able to display AP report from the Financial module.
However our problem is, we would like to create authorization levels with organizational units for each user:
For example:
User Anson has ZFI_AP_REPORT_DISPLAY assigned but can only display Report from Company Code 3202.
We know we can create this authorization creating several roles, like:
ZFI_AP_REPORT_DISPLAY_3201
ZFI_AP_REPORT_DISPLAY _3202
ZFI_AP_REPORT_DISPLAY_3203
but our idea is not create several roles, but to assign the Company Code authorization on a user level and leave just one role so we would only need ZFI_AP_REPORT_DISPLAY.
Is there a way to do this?
Thank you in advanced for your replies.

I agree with Jurjen. There is no point creating a "new" authorisation concept for a few transactions. If you use standard authorisation objects for the check in your custom tcodes then you will likely have very little work to do if you assign those tcodes to existing roles.
Even using a custom auth object & creating the variants will take up no more time than doing something like repeating the variable functionality in BI or messing about with PIDs in the UMR (which I definitely do not recommend). By sticking with the standard concept you ensure consistency, making it much easier to support and/or handover if you move on from the role.

Security - Report level permissions

I have two end users and five reports developed under a workspace.
I want to set the report level permissions to these end users.
e.g End user A can be able to view reports R1, R2 and R3
and end usre B can be able to view reports R4 and R5. How it can be done?

Create an Authorization scheme that can distinguish user A and B and use this Authorization Scheme for the Reports (when they are on the same Page) or for the Page (when they are on different Pages). Also check if you should use the same Authorization Scheme for Links or Buttons that link to these Pages/Reports.

Reporting Level - Can someone please explain this attribute?

All - I am a relative newbie to Siebel on Demand but creating reports with other tools for years. I recently came across some reports that I have inherited that are constantly giving us trouble. They are basic reports that look at the count of calls, meetings, etc. for a given user. What we are finding is that we have used this reporting level attribute to filter but depending on the level of manager logging in it is causing problems. Some people can't see the data and some get a massive amount of duplicated data.
When it is all said and done we are looking for a simple manager-to-rep list of the counts of these activities. After looking at the reporitng level value it would look like an indicator of relative position from the lowest level in the reports-to heirarchy. We will generally filter for a level = 0 (or maybe 1) in most reports but what I want is a way to control that based on the user. My requirement is to have the level they can see and the detail at one level lower but I dont' fully understand how that gets created or how I can use system variables to find the user's level to control it.
Anyone that has any background info on this or how I can control a basic anaylytic report in a more maintainable fashion to show my stuff and subtotals at one level lower that would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure if I can help with the specific report, but I will try to shed some more light on Reporting Level.
In any report where the Owned By User dimension is exposed, you can find the Reporting Level field. Each user is part of a reporting hierarchy, derived from the "Reports To" value in their user profile.
The best way to see this is to create a simple report with the User Email, Reporting Level, and Manager Email. This will show you the manager at each level. You can use this to expose and filter on the full management hierarchy.
Level 0 = the user. All users have a value of themselves as Manager at Level 0.
Level 1 = Reports To - who the user directly reports to.
Level 2+ = Up the chain...
You may want to take a look at some of the pre-built reports to see how this can be used to achieve Team based reports, such as "Team Pipeline Analysis", "Team Sales Effectiveness Analysis", and "Team Activity Analysis". You can open any of the pre-buiilt reports to use as starting points as well.

Variance calculation at reporting level

Dear All,
There are two key figures in my report - Plan and Actual amount. Now user wants to see the variance between these two in % terms.
Formula is ( Acutal - plan )/plan *100 . Now this formula works when plan value is not zero when ever the plan value is zero the display will be X . Now user wants to put a check say whenever the plan is zero then display 100 % variance. How can we achieve this at reporting level.
Thanks and Regards,
Anup.

Hi Anup,
Try something like this:
(Plan = 0)*100 + (Plan <.> 0)*((Acutal - Plan) / Plan * 100)
I'm not sure but you might have to use the NOERR function in case of division by zero:
(Plan = 0)*100 + (Plan <.> 0)*NOERR((Acutal - Plan) / Plan * 100)
In both samples remove the "."
Hope it helps.

Logic at reporting level to compare two dates .

Dear Friends,
I have a scenario here , where i have a counter keyfigure in my DSO which has constant value 1 . there is two dates : Stock issue date & stock receipt date . At the reporting level , in selection screen there is an input on stock receipt date . Now i want to show key figure counter for which stock issue date lies between the stock receipt date which the user enters .
Kindly suggest on this matter .
Thanks & regards,
Ashutosh Singh

1. Create a customer exit variable on Stock issue date. Pass on the value the user enters through exit to this variable.
2. Create a New formula with the counter keyfigure and restrict it based on the customr exit variable.
This will work correctly if Stock issue date and stock receipt date are not displayed in the report.
If it is displayed, then if the stock issue date lies between the stock receipt date it will have the value as 1 else 0.
Hope this helps.

Text data is not displaying at Report level for an Infoobject Item name

Hi All,
Texts data is maintained at Info object level but text information is not displaying at Report level for an object. I have set the property at query level as "Text", but at report level it is displaying key values of the object, not displaying texts information. This problem occured in QA(Quality) system but not replicated in Production system. I have checked all properties at backend and query level and compared the same between QA and Production system didn't find any difference.
Please suggest what might be the cause: at report level it is displaying key values instead of the textual information even text data is mainintained at backend. In production it is displaying textal data for the IO.
Thanks in advance.

Hi All,
Thanks for your valuable information. I have changed the setting under Advanced tab as "Master data" for Access type for results values, but didn't solved the problem still it showing key information for the IO.
In Production system the report displaying texts information for the IO, but in QA its displaying key information. The problem exits only in QA, its working fine in DEv and Production.
As per my understanding might be the issue with Patches will be checking with Basis team on the same.
Please suggest if you have any alternatives to fix the issue.

BO/BW Report Level Calculation and Prompts

Hi,
There is an infoprovider in BI , delta enabled.Start Date and End Date are two fields in Infoprovider.
The requirement is to have an Use Indicator Prompt having values Y or N.
if the prompt input is Y , then display only those records where the current date is between start and end date,
and if the prompt input is N, then display all values.
Since the infoprovider will have delta loading, this needs to be done in BI/BO Report Level.
If I have a Keyfigure in BI (using the above logic, having values 0 and 1), then this keyfigure needs to be selected in Web I Report(since the Use Indicator Prompt will be on this keyfigure), if not selected then all the keyfigures will be blank.
I have changed the aggregation of the Keyfigure to 'None' in Universe, but still it doesnt work

Hi,
first of all you should not leverage the InfoProvider directly but instead use the BEx Query and this type of prompting could then be done as an EXIT variable in the BEx query.

How to improve the query performance in to report level and designer level

How to improve the query performance in to report level and designer level......?
Plz let me know the detail view......

first its all based on the design of the database, universe and the report.
at the universe Level, you have to check your Contexts very well to get the optimal performance of the universe and also your joins, keep your joins with key fields, will give you the best performance.
at the report level, try to make the reports dynamic as much as you can, (Parameters) and so on.
and when you create a paremeter try to get it match with the key fields in the database.
good luck

In the report level user wants two persons against each work center.

Hi Experts,
Please let me know the solution, I have provided scenario below.
check the query which the user is referring to report:
Example
Work center     Person
KNE33102     44003850
According to the user, the names for the Work centers should be as follows:
Work center          Person
KNE33102         44003850,
KNE33102        44003603
I have check the data in T-code-CR03, each work center getting two persons, as can be shown below.
Work center        Person
KNE33102           44003850,
KNE33102           44003603
In RSA3 it can be seen that both the records are being extracted
Work center     Start date     End date     Person
KNE33102     09.02.2009     31.12.2009     44003850
KNE33102     09.02.2009     31.12.2009     44003603
In BI , when checking in PSA, it can be seen that the data is also being loaded to BI (Two persons loaded against Work center-KNE33102)
Work center     Start date     End date     Person
KNE33102     09.02.2009     31.12.2009     44003850
KNE33102     09.02.2009     31.12.2009     44003603
But when loading to the Info Object, one person has deleted. Because of this, in the report level displaying one person.
Note:-Please let me know what is the procedure, in the report level user wants two persons against each work center.

Hi,
As you said in your post the data has mentioned up to 2009. can you try execute the query till to date .

How can I disable POST GOODS RECEIPT button in transactions VL31N/VL32N via Authorization or Role Level.

How can I disable POST GOODS RECEIPT button in transactions VL31N/VL32N via Authorization or Role Level, There is a requirement from my client and i propose two methode
1- Creation of Ztcode ZVL32N and do changes ABAP program level
2- Disablement via Authorization/Role level - but how can i find the auth object/ Authorization corresponds to POST GOODS RECEIPT button in VL32N

I think you can make use of SHD0 - Transaction variant to achieve this. You can make it as grayed out while recording steps in SHD0.

Subracting dates at report level , to get difference in days.

Hi team,
I have 2 Key figure End date & start date & I need to present a difference between these dates in form of days .
Firstly it is possible at report level , by using process value as date [DATE] on both the end & start date fields , later subtract start date from end date.
I am nt sure whether out put wil b accurate .
Is there any functional module already existing tht cn , give the difference between dates in no of days?

Hi all,
about this procedure, my questions are:
1) can this procedure be applied if start and end date are attributes of a given infoobject?
2) if "yes" on point "1)", how can you avoid aggregation? In this case, summarization is not meaninful. Example: a given project have a "start date" and an "end date", so the difference between these dates is project duration. In a cube multiple records refers to the same project hence these dates should not be summarized
3) does these procedure work on a multiprovider?
My questions arises because I'm trying to compute with dates on a multiprovider, dates are attributes and unfortunately it seems not to work.
Any help?
Thx!
