Can't change a Restricted Key Figure technical name in QD BEx 7.1.0

A few days ago I created a new Restricted Key Figure in Query Designer and it was autopopulated with a default technical name. So I immediately changed it to 'ZRNPVORDINTFACTPPP_FY'.
Now, today, I realized that the 'F' in the technical name is a typographical error and I need to remove it. I clicked the Restricted Key Figure on the left from within the list and clicked the Change/Display pencil icon in the properties window, but the Technical Name field is still greyed out. Also tried right clicking and selecting Edit, but same problem.
Would removing all instances of where the figure is used in the query and other queries allow me to change it? Could it be a user rights issue?
As always, thanks for the help!

Hi,
After creating a RKF , you cannot change its technical name.
If the RKF has a lot of restrictions and creation of another similar RKF is a big process ,
you can create a copy of the same through transaction RSZC.
In RSZC , give the source and target cube name as the name of the multiprovider on which your query is built,
select restricted keyfigure ,click on execute , in the list which comes after execute find your KF 'ZRNPVORDINTFACTPPP_FY'
and click on transfer/copy option available.Change the technical name as you want and then click on execute. A similar keyfigure with the desired technical name will be created in query designer ,global keyfigures .
Replace the same with your Old keyfigure in report.

Steps to create a Restricted Key Figure

Hi,
I am trying to create a BEx Query and want to create a Restricted Key Figure.
I am using BEx 7.x.
Please help me with steps to create a Restricted Key FIgure.
Thnaks and Regards,
Shreyas Shah

Hi Shreyas,
Please find the step by step to create a restricted key figures.
Procedure for Defining a new restricted key figure:
1. In the InfoProvider screen area, select the Key Figures entry and choose New Restricted Key Figure from the context menu (secondary mouse button).
If a restricted key figure has already been defined for this InfoProvider, you can also select the Restricted Key Figures entry and then choose New Restricted Key Figure from the context menu.
The entry New Restricted Key Figure is inserted and the properties for the restricted key figure are displayed in the Properties screen area.
2. Select the New Restricted Key Figure entry and choose Edit from the context menu (secondary mouse button).
The Change Restricted Key Figure dialog box appears.
You can also call the Change Restricted Key Figure dialog box from the Properties screen area by choosing the Edit pushbutton.
You make the basic settings on the General tab page.
The text field, in which you can enter a description of the restricted key figure, is found in the upper part of the screen.
You can use text variables in the description (see Using Text Variables).
Next to that, you can enter a technical name in the Technical Name field.
Underneath the text field, to the left of the Detail View area, the directory of all objects available in the InfoProvider is displayed. The empty field for defining the restricted key figure (Details of the Selection) is on the right-hand side of the screen.
3. Using drag and drop, choose a key figure from the InfoProvider and restrict it by selecting one or more characteristic values. See Restricting Characteristics.
You can also use variables instead of characteristic values. However, note that you cannot use the following variable types in restricted key figures for technical reasons:
Variables with the process type Replacement with Query (see also Replacement Path: Replacement with Querys)
Variables that represent a precalculated value set (see also Details)
You can use these variable types to restrict characteristics in the rows, columns, or in the filter.
4. Make any necessary settings for the properties of the restricted key figure on the other tab pages. See Selection/Formula Propertiess.
5. Choose OK. The new restricted key figure is defined for the InfoProvider.
Let me know if this helps.
Thanks

Restricted key figure

HI,
can any body explain me what is the difference between Restricted key Figure and the filter option in BEX reporting.

Hi Ali,
If you want restrict particuler key figure based on characteristic value, that you have to go for restricted key figure.
For example: You have calender year month data from 2005 to 2006.An dyou have also have sales data for the period.
If you want see the say some feb 2005 to may 2006.
than you can use restricted key figure to see the values.
where as Filter will show the values which you have filtered irrespective of key figure (only characteristic value).
just go throw the below description.
Hi,
Restricted key figure:
Use
You can restrict the key figures of an InfoProvider for reuse by selecting one or more characteristics. The key figures that are restricted by one or more characteristic selections can be basic key figures, calculated key figures, or key figures that are already restricted.
Procedure
Defining a new restricted key figure
1. In the InfoProvider screen area, select the Key Figures entry and choose New Restricted Key Figure from the context menu (secondary mouse button).
If a restricted key figure has already been defined for this InfoProvider, you can also select the Restricted Key Figures entry and then choose New Restricted Key Figure from the context menu.
The entry New Restricted Key Figure is inserted and the properties for the restricted key figure are displayed in the Properties screen area.
2. Select the New Restricted Key Figure entry and choose Edit from the context menu (secondary mouse button.
The Change Restricted Key Figure dialog box appears.
You can also call the Change Restricted Key Figure dialog box from the Properties screen area by choosing the Edit pushbutton.
Calculated key figure:
Use
In the Query Designer, you use formulas to recalculate the key figures in an InfoProvider so that you can reuse them. Calculated key figures consist of formula definitions containing basic key figures, restricted key figures or precalculated key figures.
Procedure
Defining a New Calculated Key Figure
1. In the InfoProvider screen area, select the Key Figures entry and from the context menu (secondary mouse button click), choose New Calculated Key Figure.
If a calculated key figure has already been defined for this InfoProvider, you can select the Calculated Key Figures entry and, from the context menu, choose New Calculated Key Figure.
The system adds the New Calculated Key Figure entry. The properties for the calculated key figure are displayed in the Properties screen area.
2. Select the New Calculated Key Figure entry and, from the context menu (secondary mouse button), choose Edit.
The Calculated Key Figure dialog box appears.
You can also call the Change Calculated Key Figure dialog box from the Properties screen area by choosing the Edit pushbutton.
Formula:
Use
You can recalculate the key figures in a structure using a formula. You can include basic key figures, restricted key figures, and calculated key figures in the formula definition.
Procedure
Defining a Formula
1. If the query does not yet have a key figure structure, create a New Structure in the Rows or Columns of the Query Designer by highlighting the row or column directory using the secondary mouse button and selecting New Structure from the context menu.
2. If the structure does not yet contain any key figures, use drag and drop to transfer a (basic) key figure of the InfoProvider into the directory of the new structure.
3. Select the structure directory, and choose New Formula. The New Formula entry is inserted and the properties for the formula are displayed in the Properties screen area.
4. Select the New Formula entry and, from the context menu (secondary mouse button), choose Edit. The Change Formula dialog box appears.
You can also call the Change Formula dialog box from the Properties screen area by choosing the Edit pushbutton.

How to copy restricted key figures in query designer ?

hi,
i have created a query in query designer (BI 7.0).
How can i copy existing restricted key figures ? i can't find anything. i always have to create a new one, and then i have to do all the things like 'details of selection' etc.... manually. that CANNOT be, there MUST be a way to copy those key figures.
any ideas ?
best regards, Martin

Hi Martin,
Restricted key figures can be stored on the infoprovider basis . For which right click on the key figure (left hand side pane ), Select the necessary key figure and assign the restriction through characteristics combination, and give it a restriction and save it . Next tiem when you create query on the same info provider it should appear in the left hand side as readymade reusable piece .
Hope that helps.

Display technical names of restricted key figures

Hi everybody,
In a query, I would like to display the technical names of restricted key figures instead of their description as a heading. Is that possible and how can I do this?
Thank you for any help, regards, Kathrin!

Hi Kathrin,
I believe you can do this in only one query.In the query you want to have the technical name ..Rigth click>properties> description will change the name of the field only in that specific query..not for all the queries..
Else you can run the query and make changes in workbook format..Even this should serve the purpose..

Restricted Key Figure and : Change Variable in WAD

Hi everybody,
I have a restricted key figure in my query, which is restricting all sales volumes of a product by time variable.
I am using this restricted key figure instead of a real filter on the whole query because I have to view the total volume of this product and the volume in this year.
This works very well, but I have no possibility to change the value of the time variable in the restricted key figure in WAD by a generic navigation block.
How can i do this?
Thanks,
Alex

Hi...
The Web item Generic Navigation Block displays the navigational state of a query view in the Web application in the form of a table. All characteristics and structures in the query view are listed in the table and their filter values are displayed. You can change the navigational status of the query view. You can filter according to single values and remove the filter again.
You want to see the results in tabular form and to be able to navigate
through those results using key figures and characteristics.
1. From the Start menu, open the Web Application Designer and start the Web
Application Wizard
a) Choose Start → Programs → Business Explorer → Web Application
Designer → Tools → Wizard.
Choose Next to skip the start page.
2. Select the Generic Navigation Block item and accept the default settings for
this item.
a) In the Select Web Item dialog box, choose Standard Items → Generic
Navigation Block, then select Next to transfer the item into your Web
template.
3. Assign the query Customers/Sales as a Data Provider
to the Generic Navigation Block web item. After assigning the Data Provider,
accept the default values for the item attributes.
a) Choose Query.
b) The Open Query / View dialog box appears.
From the Roles, select the query for Reporting→ Unit: BEx
Web Application Designer → Lesson: BEx Web Application Wizard →
Exercise → Customers/Sales .
Choose OK. The dialog box closes and you return to the Web application
Wizard. Choose Next to reach the Edit Attributes dialog box. Since you
want to accept the default properties of the item, choose Next.
c) In the Overview dialog box, you see all the items you have selected so far.
Add the Table Web item to your Web template and accept the suggested settings
for this item.
a) In the Overview dialog box, choose Add Item to add an additional item to
your Web template. In the Select Web Item dialog box, select Standard
Item → Table.
Choose Next in order to transfer the item into your Web template.
5. Assign the same Data Provider to this item as you did for the Navigation Block.
Accept all the default settings for this item. Arrange the Web template to have
the Generic Navigation Block before the Table.
a) Both items in the Web template use the same Data Provider. Therefore, you
can use the same entries for this item. Choose Next.
b) Leave the properties of the table item unchanged. Skip over the Edit
Attributes dialog box by choosing Next.
c) Both Web items now appear in the Overview dialog box. Change the
sequence of the two web items so that the Web template starts with the
Generic Navigation Block. Use the up and down arrow icons to move your
web items. Choose Next.
6. Save the Web template.
a) You do not have to make any entries in the Save Web Template dialog box.
Choose Save to save your Web template.
Save the newly-created Web template in your Favorites.
give Description: ..................
give Technical name: ...........
7. Display the Web template in the browser.
a) Choose Display theWeb template in theWeb browser .

Can I restrict a restricted key figure on another Key Figure ?

Hi Experts,
I tried to acheive this but was not able to do it.
Can I restrict a restricted key figure on another Key Figure ? I have a restricted key figure named " No of Orders Completed" and I have a key figure " No of Repair Days". I want to only report on the orders which get completed in 5 days.
So I want to restrict " No of orders completed" by key figure "No of repair days" = 5.

Hello
you can create a CKF (If you have RKFs created for No of days and orders completed) or Fomula (if you have selection created for No of days and orders completed) with the following condition.
(No of days <= 5)*No of orders completed + 0
this will give you No of orders completed for all the orders for which no of repair days <= 5.
Do not forget to apply the exception aggregation on the newly create formula. Set exception aggregation as total and reference characteristic as order.
After that creat a condition to hide all the records with 0 in the newly created formula.
I think that should solve your issue.

Hi,
Calculated key figures consist of formula definitions containing basic key figures, restricted key figures or precalculated key figures.
The key figures that are restricted by one or more characteristic selections can be basic key figures, calculated key figures or key figures that are already restricted.

How can we restrict Key Figure in the BI System

Hi All,
Can any one explain How can i restrict key figures in BI system.
So when i create a query a specific user can only execute it if a specific key figure is a part of query otherwise he is not allowed to execute a query.
For Example:
A user TEST123 is allowed to execute a query with keyfigure Quantity he is not allowed to execute the query if any other key figure is present in the query
Regards,
Deepak

Hay Diogo,
Bravo...
Your suggetions always work for me. The scenario was that
A user TEST_PLD08 should only allow to see output for the querys which consist of the keyfigure PLDQUACMP and not for other keyfigures while other user TEST_PLD07 is allowed to see the output for querys consist of any of the keyfiguers.
so I have assign a authorization profile PLD_TEST07 to the user TEST_PLD08 with KeyFigures authorization as mentioned below and it is working fine
I EQ :
I EQ PLDQUACMP
You can forward me more scenarios like this if you can think of more it will be really helpful for me

Deepak

Restricted Key Figure Column heading text missing

Hello,

Thanks
justin

Hi Justine...
I think u r doing something wrong..........Either u can create Global Restricted Key(Infoprovider level) or Local restricted ket figure(Query level)..........If u create Global........then in the left pane............Right click on the Keyfigure >> New restricted Key figure...........to create in the Query level..........In the context menu>> choose Edit........... or select the heading of the Rows or Columns directory
and use the right mouse button to choose New Structure..........In both the cases....there is a Description Field........u hav to write the description there............U can change the technical name also.........then save it........
May be it is a temporary bug............just come out the query..and again reopen it......

Debjani.....

Customer Ext Variable is NOT working correctly in the Restricted Key Figure

Hi all,
   I have created a variable ZVCBLMTH (Period from 01/1996 to Last Month) with reference to
    0CALMONTH and it will be populated through Customer Exit and it works fine.
    In the selection for 0CALMONTH, I gave the range as '05/2008' to '08/2008' and this new
    variable passed the value of range as '01/1996' to '04/2008' in RSRT.
    The properties of the variable are:
          Type of Variable - Characteristic, Processing by - Customer Exit, Variable Represents - Interval
          and Variable is - Optional.
          No change in the result after changing the 'Variable is' from Optional to 'Mandatory'.
This variable is used in Restricted Key Figure to calculate the number of matching records between
   01/1996 & 04/2008 and somehow it is not recognizing this variable and NOT passing the results correctly.
   But, there are records with 0CALMONTH between 01/1996 & 04/2008.
   How could I test that which value is passed into the Restricted Key Figure for this variable, PLEASE ?
   Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Venkat.

Hi Clemens Li
I agreed on your point. When we define the Internal table the type for element EQUNR & QUMNR , we are referring the SAP data element for EQUNR, QMNUM field.
Our doubt is even though we refer the standard data element, in the ALV display, it shows with leading zeros and also it creates problems in the filtering and in the filter window all values instead of unique nos.
Hi Abhii
I have given below the fieldcat coding.
Friends, can you kindly clarify the above said problems. Since we use SAP ECC 6.0 any notes or patches apply is required. ( this is the basic functionality in ALV, that is my doubt).
    wls_fieldcat-col_pos   = wpv_pos.
    wls_fieldcat-fieldname = wpv_champ.
    wls_fieldcat-tabname   = wlc_tabname.
wls_fieldcat-seltext_s = wls_fieldcat-seltext_m
    wls_fieldcat-seltext_l = wpv_libelle.
    wls_fieldcat-ddictxt   = 'L'.
    wls_fieldcat-no_out    = wv_no_out.
    APPEND wls_fieldcat TO gt_fieldcat.
Kind regards,
Jegathees P.

Copy restricted key figures

Hello Elif,
it's not possible because it requires a tecnical name to a restricted or a calculated keyfigure which are cube level. This technical name should be given by you.

Currency translation for a restricted key figure in Query designer

Dear Experts,
In my query i am using a restricted Keyfigure (ZRKF1 which is reusable). I have to change the currency translation key of the restricted Key Figure from zcur1 to zcur2. I am not able to edit zrkf1 Currency translation in the properties( It is in gray colour) ,while i can do it for a normal keyfigure. if i edit zrkf1 then other queries will be affected. How should i solve this? Can i copy and paste the zrkf1 to zrkf2 in order to use zrkf2 with currency translation zcur2 in my query ? How can i coy and paste restricted key figure?
Thanks,
Riya

Hello Riya
I think you can't change the currency transaltion type for RKF... to change it in RKF just make the changes in the KF which you have used in RKF....
If you don't want to change the CURR translation type in KF1 than copy it paste it (KF2)and change in that KF2...now u can use KF2 in restricted KF...
Thanks

Restricted key figure doesn't work when restricted objected used in Structure

Hi Experts,
We've a requirement where user wants to restrict ABC key figure with z object. This z objects also used in structure as well, because of that this restricted key figure is not working.
We understand it can't be used in two structure and user wants to keep this object in structure as well.
Is there a workaround to make it work?
Requirement brief overview:
Say I've restricted key figure gross avail percentage and which is restricted by retail group A and B. This retail group is also used in Structure as well (in row). As said users want to keep retails group in structure and want to restrict only one key figure with two retail group A and B.
But this combination is not working. Please can someone recommend any other way to achieve this requirement.
Thanks,

Hi Yasmine,
Yes, I've reloaded the data again. Also, I've mapped correctly in cube. But still I can't see data.
I've checked customer master data , there is no data for this field.
In transformation I've mapped retail group with the new field as well.
When I tried to activate master data , it's saying it's possible only via attribute change run.
I've realised 0CUSTOMER_ZRETGRP (old field) also used in two aggregates.
Do I need to add this in aggregates?
How to activate master data so data will appear in cube?
Is there any programme to activate via attribute change run?
Thanks
