BW: Cost Element Hierarchy - from R/3 plus additional node in BW

Hi all,
We have cost element hierarchy (say ZP14PL) which we schedule to update periodically from R/3 into BW . However we would like to add an additional sub-node under this same hierachy via RSH1. As this subnode is only for BW use, this is not maintained in the hierarchy ZP14PL in R/3. With the 'full update' or 'update Subtree' option in the infopackage the hierachy ZP14PL will be deleted and replaced with the latest changes thus removing the additional node which we created for BW only.
Any suggestion as to how we could have the latest hierarchy updated from R/3 without deleting the additional subnode that we added in the same hierachy in BW?
Appreciate all expert advice.
Thanks and best regards,
VC

An easy way would be to include this link into the file using a start routine....
you should know the child node and parent nodes for the same and since the location of the same is going to be constant - you could add it to your start routine....
Or have a time dependent hierarchy but that would mess up your reporting...
Also this is not the correct forum to post BI relevant questions - suggest you post the same in the BI forums for more relevant answers....

Cost Element Hierarchy extraction error

I am trying to extract cost element hierarchy from the ECC using standard extractor 0COSTELMNT_0102_HIER. It says 26 records sent and 0 received in the monitor and see the following error when I click error message button. I would appreciate if someone can help me to resolve this problem.
Error when updating Idocs in Business Information Warehouse
Diagnosis
Errors have been reported in Business Information Warehouse during IDoc update:
No status record was passed to ALE by the applicat
System Response
Some IDocs have error status.
Procedure
Check the IDocs in Business Information Warehouse . You do this using the extraction monitor.
Error handling:
How you resolve the errors depends on the error message you get.

My problem got solved.
I went to details tab in the monitor. Look for the IDoc error, select and right click and choose option that says something like 'manual update/correct' on the IDoc.
Rerun your extraction and it should work.

RSA2/Cost Element Hierarchy (0COSTELMNT_0102_HIER)/remove 0CO_AREAP Prefix

Hi, gurus.
We are using 0COSTELMNT_0102_HIER delivered infosource. This datasource is extracting from our source system the cost element hierarchy. When loading into BW, every element is getting a controlling area Prefix (cost element characteristics, hierarchy nodes and hierarchy name). This is the standard behaviour.
Our requirement is to remove Controlling Area prefix from every hierarchy node and from hierarchy name, but not from characteristic elements.
eg......0CO_AREA........0COSTELMNT............0HIERNAME
.........M650..................RU_SIGMA................M650RU_SIGMA
.........M660..................RU_SIGMA................M660RU_SIGMA
And we want to get the hierarchy name without the controlling area, so:
....................................................................0HIERNAME
....................................................................RU_SIGMA
We can´t upload the hierarchy from a flat file cause we want to load and refresh it daily from the source system.
We've asked in Marketplace about the missing "change" option in RSA2 transaction, cause we see 2 options to do this:
1) Create a customer datasource for 0COSTELMNT hierarchy with RSA2 and use 2 custom function modules for extraction and hierarchy catalogs.
2) Modify 0COSTELMNT_0102_HIER and call 2 new custom function modules for catalog and data extraction (GSBH_HIERARCHY_TRANSFER_SETS, GSBH_HIERARCHY_CATALOG_SETS)
In any case, we would need access to RSA2 with create/modify authorization.
They answered that RSA2 is for display only. Here is their answer:
"RSA2 is a display only transaction. This transaction is not released for changes in customer systems. The reason is that there would be risks due to incorrect modifications."
I've also tryed BW07 transaction, but it is just for sets created with GS01 transaction (hierarchy class 0000), and I can´t create a custom datasource for Cost Element from this point.
If is there another way to supress controlling area prefix??
Our Development team don´t want the idea to modify GSBH_HIERARCHY_TRANSFER_SETS, GSBH_HIERARCHY_CATALOG_SETS function modules without an OSS note that says so.
Thanks in advance, Leticia
I'm having just the same problem mentioned in this thread /community

I have created a ABAP program to download the costelementgroup from SAP R/3 into a flatfile. 
Hope this helps.

Loading cost element hierarchy

Hello experts,
I have got 2 questions
1) I am trying to load cost element hierarchy and there are about a 100 hierarchies which i need to load.. do i have to manually select all of these one by one to load or is there an easier way to do it ?? is there a way to select all the hierarchies which are showing up in the Infopackage selection.
2) Now lets say there is a change to one of the hierarchies which i have loaded...let's say a new account group has been added to a particular hierarchy which i have already loaded? Do i have to reload that particular hierarchy manually ?? Is there anyway to automate this process ?? like loading the hierarchies automatically from time to time so that whatever changes have been made to the hierarchy in R/3 are being taken into account when the query is run.
Thanks,
Bose

Hi,
As Eric has mentioned, there is no other ways but to create 1 infopackage for each of the hierarchy.
However, I think there must be some relationship with the 100 hierarchies you have. From what I know, in R3, if I have the following hierarchy
PnL
|- EBITDA
   |-- Net Cost
       |- Gross Operating Expenses
       |- Salary/Oncosts
   |-- Gross Margin
And when you create an infopackage in BW for this hierarchy of characteristic 0COSTELMNT, potentially you'll be seeing hierarchies for PnL, EBITDA, Net Cost, Gross Operating Expenses etc..... So sometimes it does not mean that you have to create 1 infopackage for each of these.... you simply have to select the PnL in this case.
Suggest that you check with you FI/CO colleague and see which is the main hierarchy...
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Gimmo

Webi report on OLAP Bex query - Cost element Hierarchy not working Drill down

Webi report on OLAP Bex query - Cost element Hierarchy not working Drill down
Any pointers how to do it please
Thanks
Krishna

Hi,
WebI reports on BEx source don't use same Drill feature as other sources, it's replaced by expland/collapse of hierarchy nodes (documented in WebI user guide in § "24.1 Drill defined"). This means you have to create query which selects all hierarchy sub-tree you plan on exploring later in report, otherwise if no data is available under a node there will be no '+/-' sign to visit this part of tree.
You could try first to select "All members" from hierarchy in QueryPanel and see if behavior in report suits your needs. Then you should restrict hierarchy member selection to what's really needed to avoid performance issues.

How to delete cost element name from group after deleting the cost element

Hi,
Please let me know how to delete the cost element number from the Cost element group hierarchy.I have deleted cost element but still showing only the CE number---no valid master record.If I d not want this to be visible within hierarchy let me know what should I do.
Thanks

Hi
Go to change cost element group select the cost element click on select tab (3rd Tab from Left) it will take u to new screen in that screen select remove tab (1st tab from left)

Cost element hierarchy stored in which table..

Hi Experts,
could you please tell me which tables are storing the cost element hierarchy, which is displayed
in KAS3 hierarchy...like cost center group hierarchy is stored in SETNODE , which is displayed in

Cost Center and Cost Element Hierarchy and Actual Cost Center

In Bex - Right now I am displaying Cost Center and Cost Element hierarchy with 12 months of data. I want to display the actual Cost center number next to cost element hierarchy - Can I display in Bex?
Tried to with Structure creating formula variable for Cost Center using replacement path - didn't work. Can you please suggest me how i can achieve this?
The format should be
CostCenter H1 CostElement H1 CostCenter Jan Feb ...
Thanks in advance and appreciate for any help...

Let me explain it clearly and hope it is clear now...
Designed the report as like this - Cost Center Hierarchy by Cost Element Hierarchy for 12 months of data. But Business agian search in R/3 for actual cost center numbers based on above two hierarchy nodes.
I am trying to achieve this Bex instead of going back to R/3 - so that they can understand how the dollar amount is summed up on which major cost centers.
If I remove the hierarchy on Cost Center - it will display all the cost centers. They want to see the Cost center numbers based on CC and CE hierarchy node so that you are displaying only those cost centers. That's the reason I am trying to design the report with CC Hier, CE hier, Cost Center number and 12 months of data.
In my data model - have only one Cost Center, if i can create another ZCOSTCENTER same as 0COSTCENTER - May be I can achieve this. still looking for options with out changing the design.

New cost element hierarchy - how to extract

Hello,
User created new cost element hierarchy/cost element groups (KAH3).
I dont see this hierarchy in the list of available hiararchies of data source 0COSTELMNT_0102_HIER.
Shall it appear in the list automatically or I need to do custom extraction?
Thanks

Hello,
The problem is probably caused by the fact that only the highest node of the hierarchy is displayed as available for the
0COSTELMNT_0102_HIER datasource. This means that the cost element group which is displayed is not used in any other group. That is probably the reason why some of your groups are displayed as available and some of them not. You can check it in the transaction KAH3 in your OLTP system.
Select your cost element group and press the Where used button. On the next dialog box select just 'Groups' and choose ENTER. Then the groups are displayed that contain the respective group. The highest level group should be available also in BW system.
When you extract this group then you will see your group as a subnote. Please see the information SAP note 316976 on available hierarchies for CO InfoObjects incomplete.
Best Regards,
Des

Needed to create a new cost element hierarchy to come in line

needed to create a new cost element hierarchy to come in line with Victory reporting. I went into create new group and referenced NETEXPS2.RD so that I could then edit it.
I made all the changes required for the new hierarchy NETEXPS3.RD. Unfortunately some of the changes I made have changed NETEXPS2.RD.
Is this my fault for referencing? Is there any way of going back to the original NETEXPS2.RD version and fixing it?
Please suggest for the above.
Regards
Srinivas.

In addition to Krishna if you don't want to expose all the package to the trainee, then create a new role keeping everything same as default MODELING role (open it and have a look) but in "PACKAGE PRIVILEGES" add only those package that you want to expose to the end users.

Bring profit center and cost center hierarchy from R3 to BW in BI 7.0

Hello,
I need to get the hierarchy from R/3 to BW. Can someone send me a link or mention steps i need to do to bring profit center and cost center hiearchy from R3 to BW.
Thanks
Laura.

As you would for any other infoobject
Activate the business content hierarchy datasources on R3 for cost centre and profit centre
Go into BW - replicate the metadata
Then just connect via transformations or transfer rules the datasources to yoru infosources or master data objects
Create an infopackage per hierarchy!!!!! - press the button available hirachies from OLTP - click the one you want on the left - fire it off
Then repeat new infopackages for all hierachies

Query Cost Center and Cost Element Hierarchy

here is the problem.
We are trying to build a query that does the following.
Its a CCA query.
We have Costcenter in the Filter area with a Hierarchy assigned and a hierarchy node variable attached.
We run the report and its looks good and the user cannot drill down because nothing is in the "rows" area. Its perfect.
Now the user has said that within that Costcenter Hierarchy we only want to see a total number based on the CostElement Hierarachy assigned. Different CostElement Hierarchys are valid for different times of the budget.
I have created a Hierarchy variable and attached it to the CostElement.
Here is The issue ****
If I drop the Costelement in the "rows"area it prompts for the Hierarchy name , filters Costcenter properly and provides the extact number. Problem is the user can now drill down and that is not allowed becuase we are going to have 3 summary totals with a "grand total" at the bottom.
So if I put the CostElement in the Filter area it now does not filter the CostCenter and I get the wrong number.
Is there a way to prevent drill down or some how force the CostCenter to be filtered by CostElement also.
Thanks for any help
Richard

Hi Richard,
Not sure if this will help as I have not tried it out, but you can try by setting the display property of Cost Element to No Display, when it is in the Rows area. This can be done by Cost Element > Right Click > Display As > No Display.
Hope this helps...

Change cost element category from 1 to 11

Dear all,
We created by mistake revenues accounts with cost element category 1 instead of 11.
We created a sales document (contract) with account assignment to a WBSE. The revenues were appearing as negative planned cost so we realized the mistake.
Now we have deleted the item in the sales document, we have created a new revenue account with the correct cost element category 11 and we have added to the account determination (VKOA).
Now the revenue appears in the new cost element. Nonetheless we still see the revenue value as a negative planned cost.
If we create a new project and a new sales document everything is correct. But we want to mend the first one. Any idea of how?
Best regards

Fantastic !
Thank you very much

Cost element exclusion from CO report

Hi all
My users need a report for permit to marketing dep. to see their expenses directly. All is ok, (the cost center is only one) the problem is that they don't want they see the cost elements where are posted the labour costs (salary, at example). The problem is that our cost element number ranges don't follow the "account nature" logic but is casual, so I will be forced to place in the authority object each valid cost element, modifying each time a new account is open. It doens't exist a alternative method? (for cost element group or for exclusion of cost elements). Thank.
Davide

Hi,
there is an enhancement COOMEP01 which can be used to add additional authorization checks. You can create a custom object and only users with authorization to this object will be able to see lines with labour cost.
Cheers
