Characteristics in PPPI

Hi,
What is the difference between Process Message Characteristics and Process Instruction Characteristics? What is the purpose of grouping the characteristics as above?
Can we assign a characteristic belongs to Chars group u201CPPPI_02 Process Instruction Characteristicu201D to a Process Message Category (in O13C)?.
Thanks,
UK

Hi,
Generally the allocation is at this configuration level.
Define Characteristics Groups for Process Messages -O08c
- In this we will have only PPPI_01     Process Message Characteristics
Define Characteristics Groups for Process Instructions -O09c
PPPI01     Process Message Characteristics
PPPI_02     Process Instruction Characteristics
SAP-Recommendation
Since you normally have to use the characteristics of your process messages in process instructions as well, you should also release the characteristics groups containing your process messages for use in process instructions

Dear,
If we see the characteristics of process management through CT04 an icon 'Proc. mgmt' appears for standard characteristics. But this icon does not appear if we create a characteristic manually. This is standard SAP behavior
Just assign process message category in process instruction category in O12C that's all.

I need to buy an External Portable HD 500GB for my iMac OSX 10.4.11 (PowerPc 2004). Can anybody please tell me a few Names/Products that are compatible? Please if you can, just tell me some product name, instead what generical characteristics it needs :s

Hello
I have been reading forums and forums and after days of research l gave up.
Unfortunately it seems that nobody has provided a name of a brand yet.
Although the effort is very admirable, l am still at the point of finding myself back at square one, with an unanswered question:
Which portable external HD 500GB should l purchase for my iMac 10.4.11 (Power PC 2004)?
I know there are many different ones, but l hope at least somebody can suggest one.
A clear Name of a Product that matches the compatibility.
I am not an expert of computer and so all the theoretical explanations of technical characteristics mean next to nothing to me :(
I hope that someone kind enough to halo me out with this will be able to let me know.
My most greatefull thank you to you all in advance :)

Can not see long text description of a characteristics in portal

Hi experts,
I designed two queries via Query designer and published them to portal but I can not see the the long text description of "Name" attribute belongs to 0BPARTNER characteristics.
One of the queries shows only the last name of partner in portal while it is showing full name and last name in Bex Analyzer. The other query shows only the key value in both portal and Bex Analyzer.
I want to see long text description in both queries.
For an additional information, I'm extracting data from CRM 5.00 to BW 7.00
What will be the reason for this and how can I solve it?
Can anyone help me for this issue, it's a kind of emergency situation.

Hi,
we have the same problem.
We want to change <b>only</b> in the screen variable the hierarchy text (from default to long\medium text) but even if there's a possibility to do this, really it doesn't happen anything - it' s possible when you start query, in the selection screen inside every the variable there's a command "User Settings" in which manage what you want to see (I put display custom, as text, medium text).
I try to do this also in query analizer, selecting variable (hierarchy) and enter in this (user setting), changing in display custom as text - medium text, but even if I save this settings, really doesn't happen anything.
It seems the system isn't sensitive to this selection...
By now, if someone has an answer, please write us!
Thanks in advance,

Couldn't assign target field for characteristics in PI sheet config

Dear All,
I'm trying to configure PI sheet, i have created Process message categories as well as characteristics. Everything is working fine except the inputted value (for example weight, density) in PI sheet not getting transferred into process order. When i try to assign the destination message to the message characteristics, i couldn't find any value for the message categories which i created. System shows the below error:
No entries found that match selection criteria
Message no. SV004
Even if i try to assign manually,system shows with error
Corresponding entry in "Destinations/Message categories" missing
Message no. SV534
Steps i did :
1. Created new Control Recipe destination(ZCR) ( by copying sap provided CRD "05")
2. Created new characteristics group(ZMCG) for process message ( by copying sap provided group "PPPI_01") and released
3. Created Characteristics (ex. weight, density) with chars. group as ZMCG
4. Didn't create any new message destination (Trying to use defaut "PI01")
5. Create New Process Message Category(ZTEST) and assign the characteristics (weight, density along with PPPI_PROCESS_ORDER)
The problem is i couldn't assign target field as "process order" to update the inputted values for the characteristics (weight, density) in O13C
I gone through all the node in "Process Management" but unfortunately i don't know where we have to assign this destination. I hope if i assign the destination message as "PI01" with characteristics "PPPI_PROCESS_ORDER" along with target field as "PROCESS_ORDER" for the characteristics it may update into process order. How to assign the destination message for the message category?
Thanks

Hi Kumar,
Thanks. When i try to assign the destination message for the characteristics through O13C, i got the error message that "No entries found that match selection criteria". It means there is no characteristics with the combination of Process message category "ZTEST" with Destination as "PI01". If i trying to assign manually through "New entries" option, systems shows with the error "Corresponding entry in "Destinations/Message categories" missing.
Thanks

What is diffrernce between key figures and characteristics?

Hi all,
I am a newbie to SAP BI....i am doing Masters in ERP(SAP)....I have confusion about what is basic difference between key figures and characteristics?
Why do we have to define attributes in characteristics?
If any one can refer me a thread that answers my questions or explain with very lucid example I will highly appreciate it.....please answer this question as I have just spend 4-5 months studying BI and have not really implemented in the Industry but we do have access to SAP BI where we perform tutorials....
Also please let me know the links to materials where basics of BI are explained in a very simple way.....
Thanks,
Regards,
Rahul

KF is anything which can quantitatively measured: Amount, Number, Value, Price... whatever you want to measure is called Key Figure. This key figures are also called KPI (Key Performance Indicator). If you want to know the number of sales orders, the number of deliveries, the amount of deliveries... all are key figures
And to add to that, key figures are also divided into two:
Cumulative KF: Like I said, amount, value, price
Non-cumulative KF, this is different kind of key figures which shouldn't be summed up, for example: Age, Inventory, Number of Employees. When you measure this key figures, you don't add the age of every body, because that doesn't make any sense, but adding the sum of all deliveries, or adding all Sales does make sense, that is the difference between the two key figures.
Characteristics: are anything which couldn't be quantitatively measured: material, customer, plant, employee ID and so on...
Aways, in BI you measure the KF against the Key figures..
thanks.

Please guide. thanks in advance.

Dipesh Bhavsar

HI
0020 MIC should be created with control indicator for formula tab(calc.characteristic)
and in quality plan assign the first MIC as normal
and assign second MIC then system will ask a formula ...
there you can give the formula in terms of character
example (0010)2

Mixing Key Figures and Characteristics in 2004s Table Display

In a 3.x query definition using table display, I could put a key figure in the middle of the characteristics. The results would be columns Char1, Char2, KF1, Char3, for example. The same query upgraded to 2004s insists on displaying the key figure at the end of the characteristics, even with the Query Properties / Data Formatting set to Tabular View (in BEx Analyzer).
Any ideas on how to keep the key figure in the middle of the characteristics?
Thanks.

Hi,
New QD wont support table display. You need to use Report designer for this.

Go to the definition of a Master Data Object. In its Attributes tab, there is a column of navigation on/off. There you can either swith on or off the attribute as a navigational attribute. After converting into navigational attribute, you can see the type column is changes to "NAV" from "DIS".
Hope this helps.

Displaying characteristics

Hi all,
I have a query with several characteristics set to No Display in Query Designer. In AO, these come through as greyed out - they can still be added to or removed from the worksheet but I can't see an option to get the values displayed. The Members button only gives the usual Key/Text options - in Web Analyzer you also get the option to turn the display on or off.
Does anybody know whether this is possible to change during AO runtime or do I have to revert back to Query Designer and do it there? (this would be a big backward step in my view as it involves re-transporting the query).
Thanks,

Adding new characteristics to cube with data

Hi Gurus,
i need to add some characteristics to a cube already in production, this cube is customized version of material stocks/movements cube (0ic_c03).
i am looking for a way to add the new characteristics without having to do reinitialisation (opening stock,...), i am thinking about a loopback process but how do i manage to get the new characteristics populated for the historical data?
Thank you.

Hi,
If you want to load historial data, you must take ECC down time and re-intialization is required.Becasue you are adding new object in Cube and for that you need to change the Update rules, then need to load historical data, so without down time and reinitialization it is not possible.
Check like below.
You have data in PSA, so try to delete data from Cube and then load from PSA. Because you may write code in Update rules on;y I think. So in that case, it may work.
Thanks

How to get all the characteristics of a variant material?

Hi gusy,
Do anybody can tell me how to find out all the characteristics of a variant material?
I've checked following tables: MARA, CABN, CAWN, KSML, KLAH, AUSP.
Thanks & Regards,
Tim

Hi,
You can use the following BAPI's;
BAPI_OBJCL_GETDETAIL to get the characteristcis of Material
BAPI_OBJCL_CHANGE to change the characteristics.
You can also use the CAWN, CAWNT,AUSP tables to find these characteristics.
Also:
Try this....
WSTN3_GET_CHAR_PROFILE
Reward if useful,

Time Characteristics: MTD and Yesterday (How to adjust for different times

Hi,
I have this report which runs daily without any user input based on
Current Calendar Day (SAP Exit)-1 [for column 1 on the report]
and
Current Calendar Month [for column 2 on the report]
If today I want to run this report for the Jan 20, 2006 how best can this be done without the need for writing ABAP code?
i.e. I want on the report, column 1 as Yesterday(Jan 19, 2006)
and column 2 MTD (Jan 20, 2006)
Any help?

Dear Amanda,
The restriction on key figures is done in a similar way as the restriction on characteristics.
I guess that you have a characteristic 0CALDAY "Calendar Day", which is restricted by variable 0DAT. By this you have defined the subset of your InfoProvider, on which you want to report.
Now, add the key figure which you want to restrict by a fixed date. Select "Edit" from the key figure's context menu and drag 0CALDAY upon the key figure. Restrict 0CALDAY by "January, 29th 2006". Add the same key figure a second time and restrict it by variable 0CALMONTH. Add the same key figure a third time and restrict it by the fixed time frame "January, 1 2006" to "January, 20th 2006".
This should work as you intended. If you have more than one key figure which has to be restricted in this way, it could be more appropriate to create a second structure with the above mentioned restrictions instead of restricting the key figures directly.
Greetings,
Stefan
