Characteristic value zero show as #

Hi
In the HR cube 0PA_C01 'Headcount and Personnel Actions' there is a characteristic 0SRVCLEN for 'Length of service'. If an employee has less than one year seniority the value is 0, but in queries it is shown as '#'.
This may very well be the nature of a 'blank' characteristic, but in this case it is very annoying.
I would like to show a 0 (zero) as characteristic value. Can anybody help?
PS. The characteristic 0SRVCLEN should not be confused with the key figure 0SRVCLENKYF

PR created with a reference PR copied the reference material configuration( Characteristic Values).

Hello,
I have created a PR with reference to another PR. After adopting I changed the material and saved. After saving, when I checked the variant configuration at the line item level (Characteristic values), its showing the characteristic values of the material of the reference PR. It should be showing the details of the new material which I have used but, its showing the variant configuration of the material used in the PR which I used as reference.
Ideally, these values has to be changed when I changed the material in the newly created PR. What might have gone wrong here?
Example: PR- Purchase Requisition
               Mat - Material.
PR1 contains Mat1.
I am adopting PR1 and creating PR2 with Mat2.
After saving, when I check the variant configuration, classification values are from Mat1. I was expecting the values from Mat2 as I have Mat2 in PR2.
Any suggestions would be of great help.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Shaheen.

Hi,
   Please check whether classification data has been maintained for the second material. If the configuration data doesnt exist for the second material, system cant redetermine and transfer. Refr the note: 588117 - FAQ: Configurable materials in purchasing Question number 5.
   If the configuration data exists and still the data is not changed, refer the note: 920648 - Error in the configuration when you copy PReq item or 596994 - ME21N/ME51N: Configuration not determined again based on your release.

Rebate : Scale base value is showing zero

Dear Friends,
While configuring Rebate Processing I am getting following problem :
Description: We are Maintaining Condition record on basis of Product Hierarchy for Rebate agreements.
Problem : When we want to view Rebate Payments -> Verification level, the Quantity under Scale Base Value is showing zero but appropriate accruals is coming.
My end user wants apart from Cond.base value & Accruals the Scale Base Value (which shows Quantity) should also come so that he can have a idea on what value and quantity the rebate is been given.
Note: For each Product hierarchy we are maintaining one of the SKU relevant for Product hierarchy in material for settlement field.
Expecting a good answer from u all sap gurus.....
Thanks in advance.
Regards...
Tushar

Hii There
This kind of problem was existing in my system too.
I raised this with SAP people and they told me to apply SAP note no.# 970384 after which the scale base quantity was appearing.
You could try this out.

BI-IP change characteristic value in FOX

Hello Guys,
i want to change the characteristic value in FOX.
Therefore the FOX runs through all char combinations to identify the highest
number for the char test.
This step works fine, but i cant write the value for maxloop in the cube.
If i try, only the old row is deleted, but i dont get a new row with the calculated value for maxloop.
the code looks like this:
DATA LOOP TYPE test.
DATA MINLOOP TYPE test.
DATA MAXLOOP TYPE test.
MINLOOP = 00000.
MAXLOOP = 00000.
FOREACH LOOP.
MINLOOP = LOOP.
IF MINLOOP > MAXLOOP.
MAXLOOP = MINLOOP.
ENDIF.
ENDFOR.
MAXLOOP = MAXLOOP + 00001.
{Amount, EUR, #, #, 00200, 00000000, #, 2007, #, #, #, #, #, #, #} =
{Amount, EUR, #, #, maxloop, 00000000, #, 2007, #, #, #, #, #, #, #}.
Any suggestions what is wrong here?
Regards
T. Mekler

Hi,
You have written
{Amount, EUR, #, #, 00200, 00000000, #, 2007, #, #, #, #, #, #, #} =
{Amount, EUR, #, #, maxloop, 00000000, #, 2007, #, #, #, #, #, #, #}.
But as per the statement MAXLOOP = MAXLOOP + 00001 the MAXLOOP conatins a new figure. Obviously there will not be any record in the cube for this value of MAXLOOP.
You are assigning this to the record with MAXLOOP = 00200, so system is assigning zero to 0AMOUNT for the record that is having MAXLOOP=00200 value.
Make the below corrections and test again:
DATA NEWLOOP type test.
NEWLOOP = MAXLOOP + 00001.
{Amount, EUR, #, #, NEWLOOP, 00000000, #, 2007, #, #, #, #, #, #, #} =
{Amount, EUR, #, #, MAXLOOP, 00000000, #, 2007, #, #, #, #, #, #, #}.

Copy BOM Component Characteristic value in material PR created by MRP Run

Dear Gurus,
My requirement is I have materials like thread to maintain color characteristic i have create class - color- class type is 023 , now i want user should able to maintain characteristic value in BOM component (thread) of semifinish material. FG , SFG are not having any characteristic.
Now in PR and PO we can maintain characteristic value in Material Data --->Configuration tab , Configuration tab will come only when there is tick in material is configurable at material basic data 2 view of thread and in CU41 I have to maintain material for class type 300 - Variant , then in class assignment i have select class type 300 and 023 both and maintain class , both are having same characteristic please make me correct if i am doing wrong process, if i am not maintaining class assignment 300 in CU41, in manual PO system not allowing to enter characteristic value in configuration tab . so i maintain both class assignment 300 and 023.
Now for manual PR and PO system showing configuration tab and from PO configuration tab characteristic value is coming in MIGO automatically but when i am running MRP for finish material the auto PR generated by system for material thread is not showing configuration tab in Material Data of PR. I have maintain characteristic value in BOM --->Extra--->Batch Classification. Please guide me how to archive this.
Thanks & Regards
Akshay.

Akshay kukde,
Still i am unable to understand the reason for maintaining a characterstic value for a batch through BOM, I hope you are not changing BOM for every purchase order ?
can you explain what you expect by maintaing this one value for batch characterstic?
you can have many other simple option like
1) Create a material with colour included in it ex, Thread_red, Thread _green etc and use them in BOM
2) Use text in BOM to hold this discription for colour
3) Use batch management, class 023 in material master classification , defalut value for colour, purchase order will be created and while doing GR you can change in colur if its different then default you set earlier.
Akshay kukde wrote:
if i am creating PR Manually -ME51N , system showing configuration tab , where i can maintain characteristic value , which then reflecting in PO and from PO to MIGO
The above scenario I have tried by maintaining class type 023 and same characteristic in material Master. but result is same for auto generate PR by MRP- configuration tab is missing.
My requirement in this case is characteristic value should flow from BOM to PR generated by MRP.
when you manualy create PR you Thread material is consider to be a configurable material and thats why you are able to input configuration value, otherwise as soon as you put this configurable material inside a BOM of normal materila it loost its configuration feature, if you want you can create your parent material also as configurable material, assign same class to it and create configuration profile and take MRP run this time you will get PR with configuration tab as your thread get configuration derived from parent.
Hope above details may help you.
Check and reply, also mark replies helpful if it helps you.
Thanks

Characteristic Value Assignment in Sales order

Hi Pals,
I am using the Variant configuration scenario in the sales order. My problem is, when ever i try creating a new sales order and enter a material, it suppose to display the Characteristic Value Assignment screen but for me it is showing the "Display Characteristic Values" Screen. Because of this i am unable to enter the data at the sales order level. what might be the problem for this case.
Kindly help me out in this issue.

I have used SAP doc mgmt for years. We copied a client and now when I configure a Class to my DMS DIR and go to CV01n Additional Data NONE of the characteristic entry boxes show up. Additional Data is blank.

I have used SAP doc mgmt for years. We copied a client and now when I configure a Class to my DMS DIR and go to CV01n Additional Data NONE of the characteristic entry boxes show up. Additional Data is blank.
It appears there must be some high level setting missing in the client. I have checked all authorizations and cannot find a difference between this client and all of the other clients we have. Only this one client does not show the class characteristics in the Additional Data tab.
Any ideas of why this standard function is not working). It does not matter which DIR I config the 017 class to, nothing shows on Additional Data.

Hi,
The issue is resolved. We are working in a sandbox with Class configuration on a DMS issue related to standard class 017. There are no standard settings in SPRO - Cross-Application Components | Maintain Object Types and Class Types | for the object type DRAW that will allow "auto-populating" characteristic values as we do with VC class 300.
For whatever reason DRAW and class 017 are not configured by SAP in the same manner as class 300 for example.
We made a config entry for DRAW Class 017 VBAP. Let's just say the system did not like that.
We are exploring other options.

All Dates displayed for "Characteristic Values" in Query Designer

Hello Experts,
We are on BI 7.0, level 13. I am having an issue within the Query Designer with regards to dates. I have a write-optimized DSO that contains 3 date fields (for example, ZDATE1, ZDATE2, and ZDATE3). Each date InfoObject is of type DATS so the system automatically creates it with reference to 0DATE.
When I create a query in the Query Designer, on the left hand side, I expand the "Characteristic Values" node under each date field. The Query Designer shows the same list of values for each of the 3 dates even though they are not valid values posted in the DSO for those fields.
For example, ZDATE1 only has 1 value posted in the DSO (01/01/2005).
ZDATE2 only has 1 value posted in the DSO (01/01/2006).
ZDATE3 only has 1 value posted in the DSO (01/01/2007).
Bute when I expand the "Characteristic Values" node in the Query Designer, I see ALL THREE values under each date field. I would expect to only see the 1 value posted for the InfoObject in the DSO. Also note that each InfoObject is defined to show "Only posted values in InfoProvider".
It appears that Query Designer will show all values for the reference InfoObject 0DATE instead of the ones posted to the actual InfoObject in the DSO. If I delete the data in the DSO, the Characteristic Values list still remains because they exist in 0DATE. Anyone encounter this before? How can I get the Characteristic Values list to only show posted values for that InfObject?
Thanks for your help!
J

Thanks for the response. I went into the DSO and right clicked on each of the Date fields. I looked at the Provider-specific properties and there is the option for "Query Exec.FilterVal" which only restricts what values appear when restricting during execution, not during query creation.
Is there someplace else I should look or someplace else I can make change to only display posted dates when creating a query? Thanks!

How to use a characteristic value variable in a formula?

Hi all,
I have created a characteristic value variable (manual input) for 0CALDAY in a query to get the Start & End date. There is requirement in the report to display a KF showing the duration between Start & End Date.
I have tried to create a Formula Variable with Replacement Path, Ref Char 0CALDAY. In the Replacement Rule, there is an option to Replace Variable With variable. However, I wasn't able to locate the variable I have created for user input.
Any idea how to achieve this?
Many thanks,
Yoong-En

hi,
if you have the start and end dates as user entry then follow this
1) create a formula variable with reference char as start date of the type customer exit
2) create another formula with end date as reference char of type customer exit
3) in the cmod write the code your logic should be in such a way the the value at the user entry should be passed on to this formula variable the same for end date code
4) create a formula with ( start date formula variable - end date formula variable)
you can use this code
WHEN 'ZV_YRFKDAT'.(formula variable name)
    IF I_STEP = 2. "after the popup
      LOOP AT I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO LOC_VAR_RANGE
      WHERE VNAM = 'ZV_KEYDAT1'.(user entry variable name)
        CLEAR L_S_RANGE.
        L_S_RANGE-LOW = LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW. "low value, e.g.YYYY (2006) part of key date (20060625)
        L_S_RANGE-SIGN = 'I'.
        L_S_RANGE-OPT = 'EQ'.
        APPEND L_S_RANGE TO E_T_RANGE.
        EXIT.
      ENDLOOP.
repeat teh same for end date
hope this helps
Thanks

Variable reading other's characteristic value.

Hi gurus,
do you know, how can I make a variable (characteristic value variable) that reads other characteristic's value?
i.e. I have 0CALMONTH in columns and a structure with 3 restricted key figures - I need to show KF value for 1st, 15th and last day of 0CALMONTH.
Regards,
Dorota

Hi Dorota,
What I have got from your query is.
Take an input for 0CALMONTH from user.
And then display Key figures restricted by 1st Day of the month entered by user, 15th daysand then last day of the month.
If this is what your requirement is then you can achieve it by restricting the three key figures with variable.
The variable should be defined with processing type as Customer Exit.
Please refer the below link for more info:

Value Help Not Working and Values Not Showing in BPS0

I have custom characteristics transported from a BW 3.5 system to a NW2004s. I have maintained master data and activated master data. When I try to do the value help selection from inside maintain, I don't see the characteristic values. In BPS0 the values are not registering and the variables are failing cause they say there are no master data values. How to resolve?
Thanks,

I also noted the anomaly only occurs with custom characteristics, transported from a 3.5 system to a NW 2004s system and have NO attributes assigned to the characteristic. Those custom ones that have attributes show up fine.

Excluding characteristic values dynamically during runtime

Hi guys, I need to do the following for a report I'm trying to create:
I have the following Key Figures:
"<= 10 days"
"> 10 days"
I am trying to drilldown by a characteristic value such as Material.
So, for the first Key Figure (<= 10 days), I may get:
Material 1
Material 2
Material 3
For the second Key Figure (> 10 days), I may get:
Material 3
Material 4
Material 5
What I want to do here, is to exclude the values under Key Figure "<= 10 days", from being repeated in the Key Figure "> 10 days".
So I want it like this:
Material    <=10days      >10days
Material1         1                     0
Material2         1                     0
Material3         1                     0* <----- I want this to be excluded in the 2nd Key Figure
Material4         0                     1
Material5         0                     1
Does anyone have any idea how to go about doing this?
Edited by: Hskok on Aug 6, 2010 8:58 AM

Hi Rakesh,
In more specific terms, the key figures are actually restricted by a date range, e.g., 08.2010 and 07.2010
The value can belong to both dates in this case, such as:
Material 07.2010 08.2010
Material3 1 1
What I need is to show the material only in the most recent bucket.
In other words, if the material has appeared in the key figure containing 08.2010, I want to exclude this material from displaying in the key figure in 07.2010.
Does that make sense?

Value ZERO in BW

Hi All,
Sales Order and Delivery has been created with one line item and schedule line in R/3.
This record has been loaded into BW (DataSource 2LIS_12_VCSCL)
Eg: DelNumb SalesOrd Lineitem Schedule Line Delqty
          1234                   123          10           001                50
Later they have deleted schedule line and creted new schedule line for same line item. Which is geting zero for Delqty
Eg DelNumb     SalesOrd Line item SchLine Delqty
            1234         123          10           002                 0
Actually it has to show Delqty for schedule line 001 is 0
                                  Delqty for Schedule Line 002 is 50
My investigation/assumption is When schedule line 001 is deleted Delta couldnt recognize or find any change for this deletion entry.When new schedule line(0002) is created two record are transfered.
When i have checked PSA :
DelNum Salord   Schline LineItem         Delqty Reversal Indicator
123                     123     002                 10                 50
123                     123     002                  10                -50       X
123                     123     001                  10                 50
Can any body help

If I have understood your problem, the net values is showing correctly in the BW-PSA ie. Del Qty = 50 (50-50+50).
In this it will not overwrite but pass a transaction with the negative value (reversal indicator).
So your getting the right results.
Hope it helps
Thanks

Changing DATE as a Characteristic value of batch with BAPI_OBJCL_CHANGE

Hello,
Could you give advice for using BAPI_OBJCL_CHANGE?
I decided to use BAPI_OBJCL_CHANGE to update Batch characteristic value.
I could update CHAR field but could not DATE.
I set like below :
- Characteristic name (e.g. Z10001) to CHARACT of ALLOCVALUESNUMNEW(Tables)
- DATE(e.g. 20081211) to VALUE_FROM of ALLOCVALUESNUMNEW(Tables).
But it does not work.
Of course, I executed BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT after the FM done.
I found the value of VALUE_FROM is missing when debugging.
Thanks in advance.
Takeru Miyagawa

Hello,
you said :
- DATE(e.g. 20081211) to VALUE_FROM of ALLOCVALUESNUMNEW(Tables).
Data type of field VALUE_FROM is FLTP. How do you fill this field ? by MOVE ?
You should not use MOVE, you should use :
DATA:
wlv_date              TYPE d,
wls_ALLOCVALUESNUMNEW TYPE BAPI1003_ALLOC_VALUES_NUM.
           CALL FUNCTION 'CTCV_CONVERT_DATE_TO_FLOAT'
                         EXPORTING date          = wlv_date
                         IMPORTING   float       = wls_ALLOCVALUESNUMNEW-VALUE_FROM.
- I found the value of VALUE_FROM is missing when debugging.
Can you show us your code ?

Error when inserting Adhoc characteristic value next time through SDK

Hi,
while inserting an adhoc characteristic value to person through algorithm with different effective dates its working fine
for the first time but for the second time its showing error like "morethan one row matches the specified criteria"
--while entering manually through front-end its allowing to insert two values for the same characteristic type with different effective dates but if we edit any one of them its showing same error ......
can any one help me out in this? Is there any restriction that there should be only one characteristic value for one characteristic type in an entity?
thanks

Suggestions for your ODP.NET code.
1.
using Oracle.DataAccess.Types;
OracleBlob myBlob = new OracleBlob(con);
myBlob.Write(myByteArray, 0, count); //where myByteArray is populated by a file stream and count is the number of bytes to be written to myBlob
cmd.Parameters[0].Value = myBlob;
2. Check only when it's not null then dispose blob object, command object, and connection object. (No need to close connection before dispose)
This is not relevant to the issue.
