BW-KPI's

Hi,
im trying to implement supply chain KPIs into BW and to translate requirements from the business related to management reporting and KPI's into specifications for the technical BW team (functional area is mainly supply chain management).
could someone pls tell me where i could get information or verygood documentation on how to go about this?
cheers
charles

Hello Charles,
As such i dont think you will find any related document for this ,all you could do is give some functional inputs to your technical BW team to make him understand about the KPI's.
Hope i answered your question ,and i think you can also look at some of the business content objects delivered by SAP to look at some of the reports if it can give your required KPI outputs.

  • Error while running a KPI Watchlist in obiee 11g dashboard

    I am getting the following error while running a KPI Watchlist :
    *" Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW) "*
    I added two KPI's (KPI 1 & KPI 2)into that Watchlist , one from the default "Sample Sales Lite" (sub 1) and another from sub 2 which have essbase as data source .
    KPI 1 (created from sub 1) is working fine , but while placing KPI 2 (created from sub 2 ) in the watchlist , its throwing the above error . However , while running KPI 2 individually , its showing meaningful results .
    Let me know if the problem statement is not clear .
    OBIEE version used : 11.1.1.5.0 .

    Could anyone reply this thread. I am also getting the same error . Even server logs are also not helping.

  • KPI Filtering in OBIEE 11g

    Hello,
    I've successfully installed OBIEE 11.1.1.5 and I'm starting testing the new 11g features.
    One problem I've run into is fairly simple in definition: how can I filter a KPI through a watchlist or a strategy map?
    I know that in defining watchlists and scorecard one can use the POV bar, and indeed it works perfectly, but when I put the watchlist or scorecard on a dashboard it's not possible to filter KPI results through a filter, and the pov bar control simply doesn't show up.
    Can anyone help on this matter?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi ,
    As you have mentioned i have created a column prompt with presentation variable as "presyr"
    i have a KPI , where the "target value" should have the value captured in "presyr" . So i have used the expression in target value as @{presyr}
    i have put the kpi to a watchlist with "use point of view" option (i cannot use variables here as there is no presentation variable there)
    After that i have put prompt and KPIwatchlist to dashboard while putting KPIwatchlist to dashboard i have used "use variable " option and i have selected presentation variable with value as "presyr"
    but still the presentation value is not passing to target value in KPI
    Did i missed any step please help
    Thanks

  • KPIs for SD:Sales Orders & Delivery

    Hi Experts,
    Could some one please help me out to find out different KPIs for SD : Sales Orders & Delivery.
    Am trying to create a BEx report for SD mofule using custom list of KPIs.
    Any source where i could find the KPIs for SD module.
    Thanks in advance.
    Best Regards,
    Krishna.

    Krishna,
    ???? There is no list of 'KPIs for SD module'.  KPIs differ for every company.  Perhaps you should first ask your business users what THEY think the KPIs should be.
    A few KPIs related to SD I have seen:
    Forecasted/Budgeted vs Actual - Bookings
    Forecasted/Budgeted vs Actual - Backlog
    Forecasted/Budgeted vs Actual - Billings
    Current backlog late to Requested date
    Current backlog late to Confirmed date
    Historical Requested vs Confirmed vs Actual (Shipment) date
    Historical/Current Pricing and Pricing trends
    Historical/Current Price vs cost
    ....but don't start work on ANY KPI until you get confirmation from your users that the KPIs have merit TO THEM.

  • How can I use a date range in a list KPI value expression

    I am trying to create a series of status indicators for a document library in SharePoint 2010. I've made a status list for this. One of the desired KPI's is to show the percentage of documents that must be revised and approved within the next two
    months.
    I have a field which logs the next approval date (last approval date plus one year). In the standard form for the KPI I can set the value expression to return the percentage of documents to be reviewed between [Today] and a date that I fill
    in by hand (see image below). But I haven't yet been able to have the target date (two months from today) change dynamically. Is there a way to have the second date increment via a calculation here? Or do I need to use a recurring workflow to do this?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated - also if this post should be elsewhere. I am not a programmer, and just beginning to learn to make use of many of SharePoint's functions.
    Cheers,
    Russ Herald

    I'm not certain if you can use formulas here but if you can use the standard SharePoint Field Formulas you could try the following:
    For the second date could you just put: [Today]+60 to add 60 days to the current date
    Or to work with actual months you could possibly use: =DATE(YEAR([Today]),MONTH([Today])+2,DAY([Today])) to add exactly two months.

  • How I have multiple KPIs for the same measure?

    Hi there,
    I am finishing up a PowerPivot data model which gathers information from a service desk system, and different customers have different SLA targets.
    I know I can specify a KPI for each measure that I create. However is there a way to specify multiple KPIs the same measure, or any other way/workaround that can meet the requirement outlined above?
    Thanks in advance for the help.
    Regards,
    P.

    Hi pmdci,
    According to your description, you want to specify different target for different customer when creating KPI based on same measure. Right?
    In PowerPivot, when we create a KPI, we can only specify calculated field or absolute value as target. We can't put any expression or function to specify a dynamic value as target value. Based on my knowledge, this requirement can be achieved in Reporting
    Services. We just  need to create a Variable and use Switch() function in expression to set specific values for different users. In this scenario, it seems can't be achieved in PowerPivot currently. I suggest you post this thread on PowerPivot forum:
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/home?forum=sqlkjpowerpivotforexcel
    You may get some more effective advice there.
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

  • Multiple KPI for the same Initative or Perspective

    Hi all,
         Here we are facing a problem with a customer BSC model that we need to adapt to SAP SSM
       The customer has the following  BSC structure ":
       1)  Multiple KPIs for ONE Perspective ( in SSM the maximum that we have it is a Perpective related to one KPI )
       2)  Multiple KPIs for an Objective ( Ok, SSM  is OKJ in this point )
       3)  Multiple KPIs for an Initiative ( in this customer they use a Initiative as a lower level of the Objective )
           ( in SSM a Initiative is associated only with one KPI if necessary )
       As we can see the itens 1 and 3 I see a limitation to adopt in SSM cause SSM  does not provide a n for n relationship ( Multiple KPIs for One Perspective and
         Multiples KPIs for a same Initiative )
       Does somebody knows how can I solve this kind of SAP SSM tool limitation ?
       Regards,
          Alfred

    Alfred,
    Index KPIs is going to be the solution for each of these questions.
    1) Multiple KPIs for ONE Perspective ( in SSM the maximum that we have it is a Perpective related to one KPI )
    SSM is set up in a hierarchical structure, so that the assumption is that KPIs drive Objectives and Objectives drive the status of the Perspectives. If you have multiple KPIs that are going to drive the status of a Perspective, you would have to create an INDEX KPI in Set KPIs. Then you can assign that KPI as the status driver for your Perspective.
    2) Multiple KPIs for an Objective ( Ok, SSM is OKJ in this point )
    Index KPIs need to be created.
    3) Multiple KPIs for an Initiative ( in this customer they use a Initiative as a lower level of the Objective )
    Initiatives are set to be tied to Perspectives and Objectives and you have the option of setting a Status for that Initiative based on a KPI. Again, you can create an Index KPI if you need multiple KPIs to drive the status of an Initiative
    The reason that you have to create these in Set KPIs and then assign that Index KPI to Perspectives and Initiatives is that you need to use that Set KPIs area to set and define the relationships and relative values of the combined KPIs.

  • How to limit the number of items in a KPI Status list web part?

    How to limit the number of items in a KPI Status list web part? There is no paging option for Business Category Status list or any limit can be made by changing the Item limit in default view unlike other SharePoint List web parts. So How to achieve it?
    Kindly help.
    Regards,
    ZA
    zzzSharePoint

    Hi,
    According your post, I know you would like to set the item display limit in Status List web part.
    In the web part, the number of items to display is based on the view which you selected when configuring the web part. The default view for status list is status list view.
    However, I am not able to limit the items’ display number of the status list view. After changing the items limit, the list item displayed would not match the number specified by Item Limit. Thus, it is not possible to limit the number
    of items in the Status list web part.
    It could be a potential issue in SharePoint 2010.
    We will log this issue to our suggestion box. As after the submission, we may not have any time guarantee when the fix may be released, but it may come out on next cumulative update.
    Appreciate your time and efforts.

    I am going on a requirement gathering activity today about a new MS Project Server project. I have knowledge of SharePoint but my knowledge of Project Server is very limited. Following will be my topic of discussion with client. Can you please tell me what
    kind of questions can I ask about them? I want to gather as much requirement as possible from client.
    Some of the question I can think of are:
    1. What fields will be there in each register?
    2. What kind of permission do you want on each register? For e.g. will each register will be publicly viewable to all users or not?
    3. How many KPIs and Dashboards do you need?
    Topics
    • Project Register
    • Issue Register
    • Risk Register
    • Decision Register
    • Invoice Register
    • Change Request Register
    • Deliverable Register
    • Resource Pool
    • Reports and KPIs

    As You know Project Server sits on SharePoint. If you know which version of Project server your client want.
    Then you can ask some question(I am giving you list of few question) like:
    1. Approx No of users 
    group and security related questions like which kind of permission they want for Project manager, team member, resource manager etc.
    2 Approx no of Project per year
    3. Avg no of task per project
    4. Project level Custom field
    5. Task level Custom Field

    10. any Issue or risk associated with project and mitigation plans
    11. drivers or strategy for Portfolio management 
    12. If any change need to be done in EPM environment how you guys can handle it. 
    13. for Delivery you can split your project in phases in which first phase will contain installation and basic configuration  then report development, then Custom development, then Training  and support
    14. which kind of report they want (SSRS, Excel baed, Performance point, dashboard, Power pivot)
    15. for reports what would  be the KPI

  • KPI's In OBIEE

    Hi,
    Can u please tell me where are KPI's defined in BI?
    Regards,

  • KPI supported in OBIEE

    Does anybody knows about the list of KPI's that are supported in OBIEE for domains like Sales,Finance,Manufacturing,HR,etc
    I tried to find these information from the documents and links but was not succesfull
    Looking forward for your help

    Assuming you have a local installation running a BI Apps rpd, a nice help is the metadata dictionary. Here's a litte approach to integrating the metadata dictionary into the presentation server
    •     Create a metadata dictionary by using Tools -> Utilities -> Generate Metadata Dictionary in the Administration Tool
    •     If using oc4j, move the created folder structure (including main folder w/ the repository name)
    •     Point the presentation server to the generated metadata dictionary by adding the following tag inside the <ServerInstance> (adjust to your folder if necessary):
    <SubjectAreaMetadata>
    <DictionaryURLPrefix>/analytics/</DictionaryURLPrefix>
    </SubjectAreaMetadata>
    •     Restart the server
    Other than that, you can run Tools -> Utilities -> Repository Documentation, but personally I prefer the dictionary, since I can see it nicely in Answers.

  • Getting an error in KPI Modeler as "{"customMessage":"failed to detect the sap language of the current session language","status":500}"

    Hi Experts,
    We have installed UISKPI01 in SAP NetWeaver Gateway System for Fiori Analytical Apps (KPI modeler is necessary to model the KPI) but while trying to create and Save the Group, we are Getting an error in KPI Modeler as "{"customMessage":"failed to detect the sap language of the current session language","status":500}". Similarly, when we are trying to edit the existing KPI template and assigning the Variants and Evaluations, we are facing the same error as failed to detect the sap language of the current session language","status":500.
    Any idea on above error?
    Thanking you,
    ~ Mahendra

    Hello Mahendra,
    Check if you have entries in the T002 table of SAP_SSB schema.
    If not follow the steps mentioned in the admin guide of SAP Smart business to populate data.
    This should resolve this issue.
    Note: My assumption is that, you are accessing the KPI modeler in English Language.
    Thanks,

  • Where/How to get the Virtual KPIs in Crystal Reports?

    hellooo!
    We are developing SSM7 reports using Crystal.
    And we have this example scenario:
    1. Two NONKPI variables defined via Cube Builder:
        NONKPI381_ACT/TAR  Net Sales         100000           
        NONKPI382_ACT/TAR  Expenses          80000
    2. Virtual KPI
        KPI380_ACT/TAR (Net Income Contribution) = (NONKPI381_ACT/TAR - NONKPI382_ACT/TAR)
    No issue in PAS and standard front-end reports as they show the KPI380 = 20000 (and other calculations) perfectly.
    However, we need a specific report showing an Objective and it's associated KPIs (e.g. KPI380*) and Initiatives. Apparently, the main FACT table CPMS_EA_DATA does not contain values for KPI380. I browsed all the CPMS tables but to no avail, I have not seen any relationships to at least calculate KPI380. Could somebody please give me some advise?
    Cheers and Thanks,
    Ron Almonte

    Hi there!
    If you are trying to read data directly from CPMS tables, then you won't find any measure data there. That data is stored in the Application Server... The CPMS_EA_DATA values there are only used as a datasource for the application server, those values are not used directly for the scorecard calculations.
    I would advise you to consider the upgrade to version 7.5. With this version you are able to use either Web Services or ODBO to connect SAP BusinessObjects Strategy Management to other SAP BusinessObjects tools.
    This way you will be able to easily access, for example, the details on the 'Context', 'Perspective', 'Objective', 'KPI' and 'Initiative', and to the respective measures 'Trend Status value', 'Status Value', 'Actual', 'Target' and 'Score'. You are also able to access more detailed information on the PAS model for any measure, so that you can build your reports on Web or CrystalI, your Dashboards on Xcelsius, etc, etc...
    I have used the ODBO provider (available starting with 7.5 SP2) to create a Universe, and then with QaaWS I was able to make that data available for Crystal, which made it very easy to built a report without any coding
    Hope this helps!

  • FSCM-CR - Extension of Payment Behavior KPI

    Hi,
    I would like to confirm the capability of extend Payment Behavior KPI's via report UKM_TRANSFER_VECTOR. For example, would it be possible to calculate and send for example the following KPI's, in addition to the standard ones?
    - Open items balance, Due balance, Overdue balance, Days in arrears, any other KPIs calculated and stored in Z tables.
    Thanks,
    Gonçalo

    Hi -
    I'm doing the same thing on a project I am working on now...client wants additional information (KPI's if you will) - among the things they are looking for are precisely the things you mentioned (in terms of KPI's)
    We looked at attaching it to the Payment Behaviors tab. Here is what it would have involved:
    - A new .APPEND structure to UKMBP_VECTOR_IT to store your custom fields
    - A change to UKM_TRANSFER_VECTOR to update the new fields
    - A new view on the Payment Behaviors tab along with the logic to fetch the new data from UKMBP_VECTOR_IT
    As you can see, there certainly is customization/ehancement to be had here. It is more than activating a BAdI.
    We considered other options but ended up settling on creating an entirely new tab in FSCM CM for the customer-specific data. The development/enhancement steps are similar:
    1. Brand new Ztable modeled after UKMBP_VECTOR_IT - including the same key structure
    2. Cloned UKM_TRANSFER_VECTOR verbetim - changed the logic to address precisely the fields we needed - the new ones of course.
    3. A couple of new views in FSCM CM at the credit segment level. This was a lot of fun getting them hooked up to the menu structure (NOT!) - but I did it. (Geez, the crap looks like it was delivered by SAP...but it wasn't).
    The goal of isolating this stuff on to its own tab was to completely isolate the enhancement in case SAP decides to step on it in the future.
    Hope this helps.

  • Link a report to a KPI in scorecard

    Hello ,
    We are running SSM 7.5 SP 04. We are developing a scorecard for a customer which has objectives and KPIs. For a particular context , there is a KPI where the actuals are percentage values. (Eg actual = 90% target = 80%). There are 2 requirements for the client here :
    1.) The client wants the symbol "%" to be displayed beside the words Actual and Target. Actual (%) and Target (%). Is the customization of the column labels possible ? if Yes , then it should apply only for this context and not for other contexts since all the contexts do not contain percent values.
    2.) The client wants two more columns beside the Actual and the Target columns. He says that , since we are just displaying percentages , eg 50% he is not sure of the actual figure. the percentage is 50% when it is 50/100 or 100/200. He wants the actual figures to be displayed , so that he can get a clearer picture. Can additional columns be added to the scorecard ?
    For the second case , I was thinking of giving a associated report which has all the 4 measures. But in the scorecard details , i was able to see a link which says to "create an associated report " . But after creating the report and saving it, I am unable to see the report after logging in again. I am getting the same link "create associated report " but not a link to the report already created. I am able to find this report in the reports tab. But, the client wants a link to the report from the scorecard.
    How can I work around these 2 problems if there is no solution?
    Thanks
    Vijay

    Dear Ricardo ,
    1.) I am not changing the UI strings since there are many divisions(contexts) and most of the divisions do not display the actuals as percent values. I will try to change the name of the measure so the the user can understand that its a percentage value. Hope he can approve !!!!!
    2.) I bookmarked the KPI and pasted the link in the associate links. But to find the link (external link) , i needed to enable the Home page for the user group. In my project , the user needs to see just the scorecard and the reports tab, but not the Home Page. So , I enabled the Home Page ,to get the link . I pasted the link in the associated links and then disabled the home page .
    Ideally , this should not be the method to get the link. Anyways, it solved my problem. Thanks a lot !!!!
    Thanks
    Vijay

  • What is KPI in SAP BI and what tool do you use to design it?

    Hi,
    I am a currently in project that demands the design of a KPI in SAP BI.
    I need some help in understanding the concept of KPI and how you design it (Using Which TOOLS? For example BEx analyzer).
    And I also want to know if KPI is a form of reporting.
    I await your response.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi Vignesh,
    BEx reporting, process chains and web reporting are all made up for KPI reporting only.
    Lets take an example of some KPI Sales / Employee.
    BEx Reporting - you need to make a report to show this either you can do the calculation Sales / Employee or you can go in BEx reporting for the same. Business Explorer (BEx) is to make the reports.
    Process Chains - These are scheduled steps which helps us to load the data in the targets on the defined frequency. You can relate your KPI with this also, at what frequency your KPI's would be updated. Twice in a day, you get your updated KPI figures or daily or weekly depending on your process chain. Process chains are just to load your data only.
    Web Reporting - This is main part for KPI's because through Web reporting only larger audience / users would be getting the values for KPIs. Everybody wont be having access to Cubes or BEx, they get the reports through web reporting only.
    For any more information, you can write back to me.
