Can I create a "unit InfoObject" without "Reference unit"?

Hi everyone!
I wonder if I can create a "unit InfoObject" which does not have a "Reference unit".
As an example, I want to create a unit called FTE (full time equivalent employee). As far as I know, I therefore have to create an InfoObject of type UNIT and name it FTE. After this, I have to specify if my unit is supposed to be a "Currency" or a "Unit of measure". If I select "Unit of measure", my unit will automatically get the "reference unit" 0UNIT.
If I now want to use my unit in BEX or BPS, I then have to specify which "measure unit" of 0UNIT (like PC [PIECE] or PER [PERSON]) shall be linked to my unit. But I only want my unit to be "FTE" and not "FTE->PC".
Can I somehow does this?
Best regards, Daniel

Hi Daniel,
please clarify; you want to create a KeyFigure reporting FTEs right?
When you write "I want to create a unit called FTE", you don't need to create an InfoObject of type Unit; you just need to maintain your units and maybe add the unit FTE.
When you create a key figure, you can specify if it is an Amount (referencing a currency), a quantity (referencing a unit, could be FTE), a number (decimal without dimension)  or integer (without dimension).
So you have 2 options for creating your number of FTEs KeyFig
- with dimension (referencing unit): KF of type quantity either with fixed unit "FTE" or with a variable unit which could be 0UNIT or any other variable ZUNITOFFTE.
- without dimension (without referencing unit): KF of type integer or number.
I think in your case the fixed unit FTE is what you are meaning...
hope this helps...
Olivier.

  • How can I create a new entry without using LOV for foreign keys.

    Referring to TUHRA sample application based on HR database schema. JDeveloper 10.1.3.0.4
    How can I create a new employee without using LOV for the foreign key "job_id".
    On the first page I would like to choose the job_title from adf read-only table.
    After clicking on the "create new employee button" a creation form appears in which the job_id field is set with previous selection.

    Hi,
    usually the foreign key is only set if the VO you select is dependent from a master. If e.g. you have DepartmentsVO1 that has an EmployeeVO3 as its nested VO, then creating a new instance of employees automatically add the foreign key. If you add EmployeesVO1, which is not dependent to DepartmensVO1, then the foreign key is not set. So if this is the case in THURA (keep in mind that this is not an Oracle demo but a sample used in a book about ADF) then all you need is to take the independent VO when building the new employee form.

  • Can I create an HCM Form without involving any workflow steps?

    Hi Experts,
    Can I create an HCM Form without the involvement of any Workflow steps ? I tried to create a simple form to save the User id( IT0105) of a person. I tried to simulate the process through program RPASR_TEST_PROCESS_EXECUTION. But, finally it failed saying "No workflow assingned. Process not successfully completed" . How should I proceed if I dont want any workflow steps to be included?
    I just want the form to update the infotypes directly when I save.
    Pls advice,
    Thanks in advance!

    Yes. This is undocumented for some reason (I learned it from SAP folks! haha). Set the workflow to:
    NO_WORKFLOW
    You're welcome. haha

  • Can I create a File object without writing it to the disk?

    I need construct a mechanism where I can "write" instructions to a file and then FTP this file to a remote system. It is basically a Telnet-like integration for a system that does not support Telnet. Once the file is on the remote device, it knows how to read the file and process its instructions.
    I would like to logically create this File object, by that I mean that I would like to use a FileWriter object to write the text instructions to the File, then use the Jakarta Commons NET API to FTP the file to the remote system. My question: can I create this File object without the file actually being written to the file system? Can the File just be memory resident for this creation and FTP?
    There could be tens of thousands of these transactions per day and I would like to just avoid any kind of deletion strategy, if I can. Thanks.

    Apart from the questionable decision to try and mess with the File object, I think the answer to (my guess at) your original question is "Yes".
    Jakarta Commons/Net FTP can upload to a server from any input stream you like. It doesn't have to be a FileInputStream. In particular it could be a ByteArrayInputStream, which reads from a byte array in memory.

  • BAPI or FM to create Invoice in SRM , without reference to PO ?

    Dear Colleagues,
    We have a situation where we have to create invoices in SRM from a file from a legacy system, that means we have no POs in SRM.
    Which process, BAPI or Function Module would you recommend me? Is it possible to create "standard" invoices in SRM with a BAPI, and have those invoices be displayed afterward in the standard SRM functionality/transactions, plus have a subsequent invoice created in the backend?
    Will award point to helpful answers.
    Many thanks,
    David

    Thanks for your help, but I still dont know which FM is best, or what is the difference.
    Can i use this FM to post an invoice without reference to a PO? How do I fill/pass the vendor and item data? Do you have any example on how to pass the data to the FM?
    Which FM are called by the system when a vendor creates a NON-PO Invoice? Any idea?
    If I use the FM to transfer to backend, will the invoice go through all standard verifications in SRM and R/3?
    Thanks again, regards
    David

  • Is it possible to create a Credit memo without reference doc

    Hi,
    I need to create a billing document (VF01) without passing the refernce document number. Is there any way to create this? While creating the billing document i just want to pass only items.
    Thanks In Advance,
    Regards,
    Raj

    the answer is that you can create a Credit Memo request (sales document) without a reference to a billing document. The settings for this are maintained in
    SPRO>Sales and Distribution>Sales>Sales Documents>Sales Document Header>Define Sales Document Types
    In the sales document type, the field that controls whether a reference document is necessary is in the General Control pane and is called "Reference Mandatory" - BEZOB
    If that field is blank you don't need a reference number. You can also generate the actual Credit Note (billing document) without any problems. All accounting entries are carried out as normal.
    SAP help says:
    Reference mandatory
    Indicates whether, when you create a sales document, a reference document is mandatory. If so, the indicator also specifies which type ofreference document you should use.
    Use
    When you try to create a sales document that has a mandatory reference document, the system automatically prompts you for the number of the reference document.
