Calculation based on display Attribute and Nav attribute

Hi all,

i have master data  CHARECTRISTICS   OUC_CONTRACT having attributes mvn_date,leg_mvn_date  .i need to display union of both dates in single column.

Your simplest solution is to modify your infoobject and create a new attribute that is the characteristic that you wish to display. Update the transfer rule or DTP with a function that merges the two other attributes into the new attribute, and then use that attribute in your query.
Alternatively you can set these attributes up as Navigational attributes, and then you can manipulate them as independent characteristics in your query results. But this will significantly reduce the performance of your query.

  • Total calculation based on unit price and UDF field values

    Hi All,
    This is for a construction related company. Please find attached screen shot for details.
    My scenario is when we are creating sales order my client wants to calculate the total amount based on unit price towards the UDF fields defined. For example user will give the unit price  per sqft in Unit price ie 2800 as per screen shot column and constructed area in Sqft in he will enter the area like cons area in sqft =1500. So this 1500 need to calculate with unit price and will display in total. So in Total field it should show like 2800*1500= result. Like wise other amount values in udf needs to be calculated and displayed in total field  .
    Is this possible in SAP B1. Please help me with your valuable suggestions.

    Hi,
    Try this:
    SELECT ($[$38.U_Price.number]* $[ORDR.U_CArea.number)+ $[ORDR.U_EBexp.number]+ $[ORDR.U_RO.number]+ $[ORDR.U_Maintenance.number]+ $[ORDR.U_CorpFund.number]

  • Why is there increased overhead(performance) in NAV than DISPLAY attribute?

    Hi,
    I understand that navigational attibutes lead to increased overhead because of the additional joins: The join between Fact table and dimension table ( I guess on DIM ID) and then the additional join between the Dimension and the Master Data tables (I guess on the SID).
    1.
    What happens in the case where the attribute is NOT a Nav but DISPLAY? Can you modify the above paragraph for me if it were a DISPLAY attribute? Isn't the display attribute also in the Master Data table and won't there also be an additional join?
    2.
    So when a query runs, which of the joins takes place first? I am trying to get the order whether it is from inside to the outside or outside to the inside? When you execute a query does the join between the master table and dimension table take place first then the join between the dimension and fact table next? Or the reverse?
    Explanation with examples will be very help.
    Thanks

    In both the cases the joins formed will be as per the above statement, however in case of navigational attribute the query fetching the data stores the data independent of master data such that you are able to do navigation/drill down independently on the values.

    the schema structure is fact table at center then the dimension tables and then the SID tables. when query is executed it first fetches data from Fact table then retrieves entries corresponding to those in DIM tables and after that SID tables.

  • Display attributes from "global" and other entities in a single screen

    As far as I know, in OPM attributes of only one type of entity can be added to any given screen.
    As per of functional requirements of my current project Ihave to display attributes from more than one type of entity in some of the screens.
    I found a workaround for entities which has only one instance (singleton entity in version 10.1), but couldn’t figure out how to display attributes of entities which has multiple instances.
    For example:
    We have an entity called <b>“the child”</b> which has many attributes. There can be more than one child instances defined in a given assessment session.
    This particular screen should have attributes which belong to the <b>"global"</b> and <b>"the child"</b> instances.
    (The names of all the children should be displayed on the screen as <b>check boxes</b> so the user can select the children who are affected by the global attributes displayed on the screen.)
    Is this achievble in OPM 10.1?
    SP1D3R MAN

    Displaying Global attributes and nested entity level attributes on the same question screen cannot be done in OPM 10.1 with out-of-the-box functionality. It would have to be a custom screen. (FYI, I'm not a programmer so I can't advise on how to build such a custom screen.)
    Before building customisations, you should also consider whether you really need to use an old version of the product. OPA 10.1 was released early last year; the current version is 10.3.

  • Display attribute is changed to nav in a cube.

    I have change a display attribute to navigational attribute.
    Now if I run a BEx report on this cube, I dont get values for this nav attribute.Instead of value the column is displaying 'not assigned'.
    Please tell me what could be the reason?

    Hi,
    To change a display object to navigational attribute you need to make changes at two places.
    1. At the infoobject maintaince level
    2. Other at the infocube level.
    Try to change at these two loactions.

  • Extractrion of account and contacts based on marketing attributes

    Hi experts,
    I need to extract account and contact based on marketing attributes from sap crm to a .csv file. i m writing a programme for it.
    i have requirment where i need to exract all accounts in different file based on markting attributes and same requirement i mean i need to extract contact also based on same marketing attributes in different file. i know there is a table AUSP from whre we can pass bp_guid. but then how can i extract them in different files.
    thnks in advance.

    Based on Marketing attributes you will query AUSP table so you will get BP_GUID. Now based on BP Guid get the roles of the partners. If the partner is Account then read it into one table and if the partner is contact read it into another account. Using GUI_DOWNLOAD you can download both them into different files.

  • How to show display attributes like key and description in voyager

    This question is on voyager connecting to SAP BI Query. I would like to show both key and description of the row member. It is mentioned in the guide that display attributes can be viewed and changed from the properties tab of the tab panel. But I didnt see any such option in properties tab.
    Any solution for this?
    Thanks
    Raghu

    It is a XI 3.0 version. I looked at Voyager user guide for XI 3.0 in page no 202. It is about Using Voyager with SAP
    "Display attributes
    Members have several string properties which are visible in Voyager:
    u2022 Key
    u2022 Short description
    u2022 Medium description
    u2022 Long description
    u2022 Key and short description
    u2022 Key and medium description
    u2022 Key and long description
    These string properties can be viewed and changed from the Properties tab
    of the Tab panel.
    Note: Key and text properties are concatenated into a single string, and are
    therefore displayed in a single column or row caption field. They do not
    appear as separate columns or rows."
    Thank you very much.

  • Custom page : displaying attribute display name and values

    Hi !!
    I'm developping a specific screen. I have a zone where I want to display a list of fields with a label containing the display name of an attribute and with a textbox containg the value of the attribute.
    For now, I'm doing that like this :
    - In a region, for each attribute I create a MessageTextInput with these properties :
    View Instance : the view that gets the attributes values
    View Attribute : the attribute I want to display in this field
    Prompt : a hard coded label that corresponds to the attribute.
    I know this isn't the right approach and I'm looking for a better way to do that as there is some bad sides :
    - my view object gets all the attributes of an attribute group. If I add an attribute to the attribute group, it will not be displayed in my page. I'll have to add it manually and reimport the xml.
    - if I change the display name, I will also have to manually edit the xml file and reimport it
    - I want a multi-language screen : if I'm connected in english I want my screen to display the attribute's english display name, and if I'm connected in french I want my screen to display the attribute's french display name.
    So how can I do it ?
    Is there an region or item which has a "View Instance" property and that is able to display items depending on the view fields ?
    Will I have to manually write a controller that builds this page dynamically ?
    Thanks a lot

    You have to use personalization and add a messageTextInput and set the prompt, viewInstance and viewAttribute properties. You can get your prompt translated using the translate options in Manage Levels page in personalization tool or use XLIFFExtractor and XLIFFImporter to manually do translations.
    Read OA Personalization guide for details.

  • Error while changing the Display Attribute into Navigational Attribute

    Hi all.. Gud Mrng.
    I was changed the attribute (product) from display attribute into navigational attribute and while save and activating the info object it is not getting activated and it is throwing the below error message.
    Error Message: u201CThe Info object is being used in several data targetsu201D
    My Questions:
    i)     Do I need to delete the data from all the data targets (where this info object is using)??
    ii)     Do I need to delete data only from the main info object (Zmaterial)? Is this single action enough?
    Please suggest me which action I need to follow & What are the precautions need to take while changing the Display Attribute (product) into Navigational attribute of info object (Zmaterial).
    Thanks in advance.
    Thanks & Regards,
    B Venugopal

    Hi Garima
    Only in case of key figures we cannot change it from display to navigational.
    If the info object is a characteristics then in the General tab of the info object if you select 'attribute only' then the iobj would be a display attribute only. If you leave it unmarked then you can use the iobj as a navigational atribute.
    I am sure you know that these settings only mean if a IOBJ can be used as display or navigational.  To  use it as a navigational within another object you will have to change the settings from 'DIS' to 'NAV' for the said info object in the 'Attributes' tab of its parent info object.
    Further if you use the parent info object in any data target / infio provider you will have to further mark the info object as 'navigational' while defining the attrbute of the said data target / info provider. The info object gets displayed in the data target / info provider attribute properties as 'parent IOBJ_info object'

  • How to display attributes in the query

    Hi frnds,
    I want to show the attributes of material ( mat group , mat type ), vendor ( Sort field ) in the report.

    I dragged the char and the relevant attributes in the query designer and executed the query. But in the output the attributes values are not displayed.
    What could the reason ?

    Hi all,
    Thanks for the reply.
    "Display attributes will also get displayed if you include the infoobject for which they are attributes."
    Suppose for 0vendor the attr is 0sortl. By defualt it is display attr. I dragged in the query the 0vendor and its attr 0sortl  and executed. It didnot displayed any values for this 0sortl
    I changed it to Nav Attr. And rerun the query, it is displaying values.
    In the first case i included Display attr and the infoobject for which it is attr in the query. Please explain me why it didnot displayed the values.
    And after changing it to Nav attr it displayed the values.

  • How to display attributes for a CHAR in the Excel file (BEx)?

    Hi all,
    I knew that I can display attributes for a CHAR (ex: attributes - address, phone#, zip code for CHAR-Customer) when I run Web- based report. But I cannot find this function after I export the file to Excel. In the context menu for excel file, I only see 'select filter'(but no display attribute values), drilldown, properties (for query). Is it something that I cannot have in the excel file for the BEx report?
    Thanks
    J.

    Hi Bhanu,
    In fact, I found that I can move IOs in the 'rows', 'column', and 'free CHARs' and so do end user by using 'local view'. That means every one can change the query definition, right?
    For your last question, that was what I want to know. How can I prevent 'end users' change those query definitions? Is it about 'role' setting, right? But I am not the one to do 'role' setting.
    Thanks for help. (I will asign points when the SDN system works)

  • Customize display attributes for LOV

    Hi all,
    In normally, when create List of values for attributes :
    After we selected List Attribute, next UI hints tab we select Available display attribute, for example: I select two attributes : CountryID and ProvinceName --> that's means multiple values are separated by white space like this: 1 England....The question is how can customize to: 1.England
    i want replace "." instance of "space". Thanks

    The trick is that you add a calculated attribute to the sql like
    select country_id, country_name, country_id || ' ' || country_name as LOV from countries
    COUNTRY_ID COUNTRY_NAME                             LOV                                      
    AR         Argentina                                AR Argentina                               
    AU         Australia                                AU Australia                               
    BE         Belgium                                  BE Belgium                                 
    BR         Brazil                                   BR Brazil      
    then in you use the country_id to store the selected value and hte LOV column to display the options on the ui.
