BW Reporting requirments

Hi
I got a requirment for a report.One of my user is asking for information related to stock check of the warehouse,returns, issues, transfers (value & qty).
Where in ECC or BW can i get this information
Thanks

In BW there is an inventory cube called Material Movements ( 0IC_C03 ) which is loaded from Standard Extractors like 2LIS_03_BX, 2LIS_03_BF and 2LIS_03_UM.
Search the forum. There is one very good documnet which gives a step-by-step description of the various methods needed to be followed for Inventory Management.
Once that Infocube has been loaded use it for reporting purposes.

Best Practice Agregate Tables for agregate awarness ..

Hello,
the question i m facing now is how to improve performance trough agregate awarness. How to plan the agregate tables in order to get the best covering for reporting requirments ? How to realize maximum use of agregate tables and minimum use of Detail tables.
Is there a method / technique to do that the best way?
until now did it this way.
1. I generated a kind of select * from DetailTable. (exp. 5 Mio rows)
2. progressivly i removed one or more dimension from the statment and got for exp. only 3 Mio Rows. the removed dimension is something like Postal code of Customers or so that i get only information about city and country. Or removing Day from date so that i only have info about the month .. etc.
3. I remove further dimensions .. (less rows exp 1 Mio)
4. at the end i have 5 or 6 agregate tables candidate for use in agregate awarness ..
Is that Ok like this .. could u please share your experiences ..?

What was already suggested is, of course, valid. You need to find out what questions your business users are asking else you run the risk of providing an answer to an unasked question. However, there are a few other tips I would like to share.
First, if you can't get an order of magnitude reduction, it's not worth the effort. Going from 5 million to 3 million rows is not good enough to consider. Going from 5 million to 500,000 rows is, as the resulting aggregate is smaller by a factor of 10. And then going from 500,000 to 50,000 could be even better.
Second, you might consider what options your database has instead of using Aggregate Aware. For example, Teradata offers the AJI or Aggregate Join Index feature which - to be honest - is far more flexible than using Aggregate Aware in the universe. Using your database means your aggregate tables are usable by any tool that hits the database, even from tools that do not hit the universe such as Crystal.
Third, and this goes back to the first point in a way, you have to be very careful in defining your aggregate path. The Aggregate Aware feature of the semantic layer is powerful but it does have limitations. For example, you have to build a linear reduction in your path. That probably doesn't make sense (and I have a draft blog post that I have to get finished one day) but here it is in a nutshell. Suppose you have five factors in your fact, call them A, B, C, D, and E. You want to build an aggregate table at the A, B level. That's fine. You can also build an aggregate at the A, C level. But you can't use both of them in the same @Aggregate_Aware() object definition. You have to build a pyramid, like this:
A
A, B
A, B, C
A, B, C, D
A, B, C, D, E
This does not work because items disappear and reappear later on, and that does not work.
A
A, B
B, C
A, C
A, D, E
A, B, C, D, E
With Teradata AJI definitions you can do this second case. It does not work in the universe, because you need one clear "best" answer at all times. In the second case, where is the single "best place" to retrieve attribute B? There isn't one, and the aggregate aware process fails.
Hope these ideas help.

Missing functionality - multiple contact email addresses

Currently SBO version 8.8 oly allows a single email address for each contact to synchronize with Outlook.
Contacts routinely have multiple email addresses which should all be enabled to synchronize with Outlook. by limiting to a single address in the contact record, the activities in the contact records will be missing critical history which may be requred for legal requirements onder Sarbanes Oxley and other legal reporting requirments for document retention requirements.
Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires the CEO and CFO of a public company to personally certify and attest to the accuracy of their company's financial statements contained in periodic reports. Section 404 requires auditors to certify the underlying controls and processes that companies use to reach financial results. Both sections require proof that a company's reported financial information can be relied on - and require companies to invest in procedures that ensure information is recorded and managed in a trustworthy manner, including email. As an organization's dependence on electronic mail continues to grow, the mismanagement of email provides a growing target for litigators and regulators. Companies must ensure that records in digital form are managed with the same care and attention as records in paper form.
Business records must be protected at all times from unauthorized tampering and deletion, more so when a company is involved in audits, investigations, litigation or other formal proceedings. It is therefore of primary importance to copy and archive data before a user has a chance to manipulate it or delete it. Companies must ensure that directors, management and accounting personnel in particular, are informed of their obligation to preserve business records

You can try holding the COMMAND key, then highlighting the contacts you wish to delete, when you have finished sekecting try pressing COMMAND-Delete, this should trash them. Be sure enteries are are correct, there is no coming back.
Hope this helps

you are correct, the only way to be able to send to multiple addresses for the same person in a group is to create one card per email address, with a code for the name as in john doe1, john doe2, or play with prefix, suffix or middle name fields to differentiate each card. to date there is no other way around this issue.
hope this helps.

Secondary Leger/New Currency reporting

Hi,
We have one requirement to include new currency for new OU. Present situation is that for one of our client there are having one Business Group and one ledger with three OU's under them.
Functional currecy is in USD and reporting was happening based on this currency till now. Recently they have acquired one more entity and they want that we need to include that currecny as reporting currency in place of the USD for this entity/OU.
As functional currency will not be able to show details/value in new currency for that new that entity.
Pls suggest what might be correct approach in R12 in dealling such kind of requirments. My understanding to define secondary ledger and add new currency to this, will it be helpful for me. And then all standard reports needs to be customized according to that.
Or is there any other better way then please confirm.
Rgds,
Nagendra

Hi,
Another thing you could do is have an initialisation block which picks up the user's preferred currency from somewhere (if you are using Siebel you could have a user pref or something). Then the logical column can use a case statement to return the value in the correct currency based on the variable value.
I have seen this at a client and it worked well, at that client all monetary values were stored in the datawarehouse as the local/base currency and 3 different global currencies. The currency value then returned to the user depended on the currency they had selected in a user preference in Siebel (the initialisation block just read the value from the DB for that user at session start).
Regards,
Matt
P.S. In Analytics Apps 7.9.x onwards there is support for up to 3 global currencies out of the box (i.e. the mapplets for conversion can handle 3 and there is space for 3 in the DAC properties) I would imagine the other OBIA have the same functionality

Hi ,
This is happening because you have check the KEY field against the column which is getting populated by a sequence .
Uncheck that option , also make sure that the UPDATE filed is also uncheck for that particular column .
As per the query pasted by you , I think STATUS_NAME should be marked as KEY .
Thanks,

Report Painter Elements

Dear friends:
I am working on 4.7 v. I have copied a report and making changes to meet my requirments. In report painter, I selected Edit - Hidden rows - delete. Some of the elments i am unable to delete. The system shows the messages " You cannot delete, because element Custom Car is dependent "
I tried to delete the element using Edit - Elements - Delete. I am getting the same error.
How to develop a Hierarchical structure in report painter?
How to overcome the problem?Please advise.
Regards
Rajendra

If you ever encounter a "dependent" error message it means that the line that you want to delete is part of a formula most probably it is part of a total or subtotal, so search for any lines that has formula lines and delete those lines form the formula or the whole formula line so you can reset the formula correctly.
To develop Hierarchical structure in report painter , the easiest way is to create a set in GS01, there you can create multi level sets thereby you can make use of this structure for other reports as well.
