Combine presentation hierarchy and display hierarchy

Hi,
We have a query with GL account and cost center in the rows. We have a custom-built hierarchy on GL account and next to that we want to display our rows as a display hierarchy. So far so good.
But next we would like to show our GL account hierarchy upside down, meaning with the lower-level nodes above. This setting however is not working in combination with the display hierarchy. I guess the solution would be to also mark the display hierarchy as being "upside down", however as far as I know this is not possible.
Anybody has a solution for this?
Thanks!

Hi,
1: To add a new char, add the info object as external chars in the Info object maitainance scree --> hierarchy tab. Then go to create hierarcy option. Now it will add you to insert the info object as a node.
2: Here you are mixing the Units in calculation.So you are getting the error as defined in TCODE RSCUSTV4. So as others given the idea, you can use the Data Function in a Formula (NO Dim).
Happy Tony

Vendor Hierarchy and Contract Hierarchy

Hi SRM friends,
Have anyone worked on Vendor Hierarchy and Contract Hierarchy scenario in SRM?
We want to implement GOA (Global outlline agreement)with main vendor and operations supplies from local dealers of the main vendor.
How to implement this process in SRM 5.0 and how to create procurement contract from GOA.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Hierarchal Contracts can be accessed through Catalog. So when you create hierarchal contracts transfer it to catalog & then you can use those.

Customer Hierarchy and product Hierarchy

Hi friends what is customer Hierarchy and what is product hierarchy?
please explain step by step with examples.
mail id: [email protected]
Thanx.

Hi Sirivas,
CUSTOMER HIERARCHY:
Customer hierarchies are available in Sales and Distribution, so that you can create flexible hierarchies to reflect the structure of customer organizations. If your customer base includes multi-level buying groups, cooperatives, or chains of retail outlets, for example, you can create hierarchies to reflect the structure of these groups. Use customer hierarchies during sales order processing and billing for determining pricing and running statistics.
 A customer hierarchy consists of nodes.
 To create a customer hierarchy:
1. Create master records for each node.
2. Assign the nodes to each other.
3. Assign the customer master records to the relevant nodes.
 Hierarchy nodes are only valid for a certain period of time. They may also be moved. If a node is moved, the system automatically reassigns all related nodes and customer master records.
With customer hierarchies, you can assign price or rebate agreements to a higher level node. The agreements are then valid for customers at all subordinate levels to this node. You can create pricing condition records for each node indicated as relevant for pricing. If one or more nodes in the hierarchy path of a sales order contain pricing information, the system takes them into account automatically during pricing.
'How to check'
All the customizing is in SD/Master Data/Business Partner/Customers/Customers hierarchy
All the customizing is in SD/Master Data/Business Partner/Customers/Customers hierarchy
1) Define hierarchy type: just put and ID and a name to the new hierarchy.
2) Set partner determination: if you want to user the hierarchy in price determination, then, in the orders, at the header level, you have to have a Partner Procedure with a partner function for each level. In the partner procedure, in each partner function you must indicate the source partner function. With this information, in the order, you obtain the business partner for each partner function.
3) Assign account groups: you indicate which accounts groups are allowed for being part or your hierarchy.
4) Assign sales areas: simple you indicate which sales areas are allowed in your hierarchy. (Here you can customize common sales areas, just for not having to build de hierarchy in all the different sales areas).
5) Assigning hierarchy type for pricing: you indicate which classes of documents uses hierarchy in pricing determination.
It is possible to maintain so called customer hierarchies. This might be useful when for example you create a condition discount for a customer that is part of such a hierarchy structure. All subnodes in the hierarchy below that customer, will thus receive the same discount.
Customer hierarchy setup, firstly decide the hierarchy type to be used.
The standard is type A.
You can also assign a partner function to the customer so that the higher level customer in the hierarchy is copied into a sales order as a partner function - but you don't need that right?
Next assign your customer account group to the hierarchy type. And enter the combinations that will be allowed for creating the hierarchy.
You want to assign a ship-to to a payer. So enter the ship to account group and enter the payer account group as the higher level.
You must also make an entry for permitted sales area assignments. So if you want to a hierarchy for customers in the same sales area then enter the sales area and enter the same one as the higher level sales area.
All these settings can be found in the IMG. Under SD - master data - business partners - customers - customer hierarchy
You use for example customer hierarchy when you have an company like Unilever and you agree both on a discount. Unilever does have different locations / businesses and you have to maintain the discount for all customers. If you use a customer hierarchy you can maintain the discount for the partner in the top of the hierarchy and in this way it will be valid for all customers in the hierarchy.
Product Hierarchy:
The product hierarchy on the Basic Data screen is used to depict the competitive materials of competitor 1 in relation to those of competitor 2. Here, your own company and its materials are also regarded as a competitor and as competitive materials respectively. You can use this representation as a basis for market analyses.
Normally we enter competitive materials using material type WETT. When entering your own materials as competitive materials, you can, however, display the product hierarchy on the Basic Data screen for other material types too.
Requirement type determination is based on the "Origin of requirement type in requirement type determination"
In this field you can select an alternative search strategy (source):
Source 0 = Material master strategy, then item category and MRP type
Source 1 = Item type and MRP type strategy
Source 2 = Item type and MRP type strategy (as for source 1) with additional check of the allowed requirements type
e.g. If you set value "0" system will first strategy group in material master based on that it will determine requirement type and no value found then it will determine requirement type based on item category and MRP type.
Above settings can be found at SD --> Basic Functions --> Availability Check and transfer of requirement --> Transfer of Requirement --> Determination of Requirement type using Transaction
For make to order std strategy group 20 is used to which req type KE is assigned.
Check
Check in Tcode OVZH, what requirement class is assigned to your requirement type
Check in Tcode OVZG, what value is assigned to field "Consumption" in requirement class because that determines consumption posting.
The product hierarchy is used to group materials by combining different features. It is used for analyses and pricing. A product hierarchy can consist of up to Eighteen characters. Its features can be combined in various ways.
Example: A dishwasher can be described by product hierarchy 000010000200000002. This series of characters states that dishwashers belong to the category electrical appliances (series of characters 00001, position 1-5), and also to wet appliances (series of characters 00002, position 6-10) and, finally, to dishwashers (series of characters 00000002, position 11-18).
One can maintain the product hierarchy via transaction "OVSV" and "V/76.
Path = IMG-Logistics General-Material master-Setting for Key fields-Data relevant to SD-Define Product hierarchy.
The product hierarchy is maintained in the Basic Data view of the material master record, and is used for evaluation as well as price determination in materials management.
The standard SAP allows only 3 levels, but you can go up to 6 levels, for additional 3 levels u will have to take abapper help and add 3 more fields and corresponding data element into structure. So that in material master drop down you will see 6 levels.
The transaction which will be useful to change product hierarchies for material master will be V/76.
Yes, You can print the levels of the product hierarchy through a report.
Use the view SE16 - V_T179 (Table Name) to display Product hierarchy with level numbers.
Field Name is PRODH

Difference between Standard Hierarchy and Alternate Hierarchy

Hi
Can anyone explain the difference between Standard Heirarchy and Alternate Hierarchy in Controlling.
Thanks in Advance,
Deepthi.

Standard Hierarchy: It is a hierarchy of cost center groups / profit center groups in which all cost centers / profit centers are gathered together in a controlling area.
In order to create cost centers, you require a structure in master data maintenance to which you can assign cost centers. You create this CO structure, the standard hierarchy, when you create a controlling area. If this hierarchy is not present during controlling area maintenance, the system automatically creates the highest node there.

Alternate Hierarchy: The alternate hierarchy setting in the controlling area enables you to name up to two more alternative hierarchies (according to fiscal year), which can be used for the authorization check in the same way as the standard hierarchy (meaning, that inheritance logic is used). You can also deactivate the standard hierarchy as an authorization hierarchy, and use only the alternative hierarchy.

NareN.

Differences between Position Hierarchy and Supervisory Hierarchy

Hi All,
Can somebody tell me the pros and cons of using Position Hierarchy and Supervisory Hierrarchy .
Regards,

If you use the Position hierarchy then you will have to go through the process of defining all of the positions / posts in your organisation and specifying all reporting lines in your organisation from top to bottom. You will then have the overhead of maintaining your positions and position hierarchy and keeping them in line with the business on a day to day basis.
If your organisation is fairly fluid, e.g. a project based organisation or an expanding organisation, these can be very significant overheads. Business re-organisation will create a large workload in creating new positions and migrating employees to them.
If you are in a fairly static organisation e.g. public sector then it may well be that the position structure is well documented and changes infrequently. In this case use of positions and position hierarchies is a simple data entry task and adds significant value.
The supervisor hierarchy is more flexible. It is simply a field held against the person record. However, there is very little validation on it so the you have to put manual processes in place to make sure the data is valid e.g. leavers are replaced and that no loops are created.
I would recommend NOT using positions unless yours is a public sector implementation.

Andrew

Appl. Hierarchy and Package Hierarchy - what is the Best practice ?

Hi!
We plan to create a Package Hierarchy in our system, but then come to think of the Application Hierachy is built the way we think of building the Package Hierarchy. We planned to build a Main package called fex. HR and below a structure package called HR-PA and below that ordinary packages within that area. But should we rather create our own application hierarchy for this?
Or should we assign the packages to Sap standard application Hierarchy in the HR area ?
What is the Best practice in this area ? Have any tried to create their own hierarchies ?
Regards, Tine

Hi!
You can create your own Application Hierarchy as well .
From ABAP Workbench select Overview->Applic. hierarchy->SAP or Customer
This is what SAP says about this :
The application component hierarchy is a method of splitting up the SAP System from a logical or business point of view. Packages are a method of modularizing the system from a technical point of view. This technical modularization can, but need not, match the logical division of the system. Assignments should be made however between these two views.

Server and Presentation Variables and Displaying in Dashboard Report

Hello I am running into dead ends trying to get what seems a simple request implemented. The user would like to be prompted for a Date range and have the dates they select displayed in the Title of the report, they also would like the default data set returned be the prior month (so not all data is returned when they initially run the Dashboard)
I have a Dashboard prompt where the user is prompted for a Date Range (Date column). My first issue was being able to display the Date range in the title. I used the below post from Venkash
http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2008/02/26/oracle-bi-ee-101332-between-prompts-for-date-columns-using-presentation-variables/
I set the Case statements in the Dashboard prompt to equal then passed them to a Presentation variable. I then used these to be displayed in the Title of my Answers report.
The issue now is automating prior month, I was informed I would have to set up a Repository Variables to initialize two columns - one bringing in Prior Month First Day and one bringing in Prior Month Last Day. I then set these as the defaults in the Dashboard Prompt.
This works, however, my problem now is when the values are displayed in the report initially, they have the value of TimeStamp '01-01-2008 00:00:00'. When I put in values in the Dashboard Prompt and hit go the values are replaced correctly with whatever I put in - 1/1/2008.
I assume the TimeStamp shows because of the initialization I am doing in the repository, I don't see any way of changing this so it reflects just the date, I am using the sysdate in the formula on the repository - I tried converting to_char first setting the format then converting back to Date. But still no luck.
Has anyone else encountered this? Or am I even going about it the wrong way? Sorry for the long post, I look forward to any input, thanks!!!

No it errors out when I try to Cast the server variable as a Date in the Dashboard Prompt interface.
The variable I created in the repository (Server/Dynamic) has the formula:
SELECT Add_Months(TO_DATE((to_char(sysdate,'mm')) || '/' || '01/' || to_char(sysdate,'YYYY'),'MM/DD/YYYY'),-5) from dual
This is set up with an Initialization block that when I first run the report it displays in the title
TIMESTAMP '2007-10-01 00:00:00'
This will display no matter what I change the Initialization block to (01, ab, etc) so I guess it is something from the formula.
Now when a user does enter a value into the prompt box and hits GO the title changes to reflect a date and looks great (10/1/2007), but I guess this is because it is now passing the database column value to this presentation variable.
I assume this all revolves around the formula I am creating in the repository to return a default of 10/1/2007 so it can be displayed in the report header like that and not with the TimeStamp format above.
I appreciate all your input, thanks again!

In BEx, how to display hierarchy Upper Node with selected Lower Nodes only

Currently I am displaying the Cost Centre (GFL Responsibility Cost Centre) hierarchy in a workbook. I want to be able to filter on this hierarchy dynamically. E.g. the upper node must be displayed including the rolled up results for this node, together with a selection of the lower nodes e.g 2 nodes ( not all the lower nodes related to the upper node must be displayed in the query).
What's possible when filtering :
To filter on the 2 lower nodes only ( results are displayed as required)
Not possible:
When I include the higher node of the 2 lower nodes in the query, All the lower nodes of the higher node are displayed, and the filter selection of the lower nodes are over written.
This is logically what's expected when the higher node is included in the filter.
Creating a hierarchy variable gives the same problem, I am not able to filter on the hierarchy nodes as required.
 Upper Node
 Lower Node1 LowerNode2 LowerNode3
Filter the report for UpperNode and LowerNode 2 & 3 only
Thanking YOU in advance. Will reward points for the correct help

Hi
Do you want to show particular node or particular level ?
If you want particular node , then create hierarchy node variable and restrict to that node ( 3rd node)
If you want particular level, what does that mean say i am taking employee hierarchy and the hierarchy is as below.
Ihe setting that we have is to expand upto n levels but if yiou say i need level 2 what does that mean and how do you want to show in report ?
 A -
(level 1)
 B,C,D( --child of A ) --- level 2
 E(Child of B), F(Child of C) -
level 3.

0material and 0product hierarchy difference

Hello,
can any one tell Difference between extracting 0material hierarchy and 0Product hierarchy
0material pulls from MARA table
0Product pulls from MVKE table
so which one is more suitable to report on and what are the reasons for pulling from MARA or MVKE.
thanks

Well it dont work that way,
can anyone atleast give me the technical names available in infopackage in BW as to where to check that in R/3 tables
for example i have 0mat_sales with hierarchy technical name MATNR ,where do i check in R/3 to verify the same.
OVSV and V/76 do not give me the details.
so how do we know what hierarchy functional guys are using??

Position Hierarchy Vs Organization Hierarchy

Hi
Our organization is position driven organization. I want to know what are the main advantages and disadvantages for Position Hierarchy and Organization Hierarchy.
Because on top the hierarchies we will create security profiles.
Can I have any document where I can find the comparison between both of these hierarchies.
Thanks
Gaurav

No, the supervisor hierarchy is constructed simply by specifying supervisors on assignments.
Added complexity can be added to the supervisor hierarchy in a multi assignment environment; you can then specify a 'supevisory assignment' as well but that is rare.
It sounds like you will be invariable be drawn into using Positions. Having a 1-1 relationship between positions and employees is not unusual but be warned it can be extremely time consuming to maintain. I have been to organizations where position maintenance is virtually a full time job for a member of staff.
If you are using Appraisals, definitely make use of the supervisor hierarchy, it is hard enough to implement correctly as it is without making it harder and trying to use the position hierarchy.
You should be able to use the supervisor hierarchy for the OTL and iRec approval processes too but I'm happy to defer to other experts on the forum for those.

Webi 4.0 and BW Hierarchy Key display

We have recently installed Business Objects 4.0.2 and have some questions about Webi 4.0 and reports based on SAP BW via BICS connection.
1. Is there a way to display the key of hierarchy in WEBI 4.0. Currently I only see the text for Cost centres.
Is there a settting that we need to change to control the display Key/Text.
2. Also Can we control the hierarchy level that we want to display.
Currently I do not see any control, It just displays the entire hierarchy.
What if my users do not want my users to see the details of the lower nodes of hierarchy.

Hi Suman,
I also ran into this problem and as a workaround found that if you refresh on the Data Preview to return some records and then click on the "Member Selector" you will find the hierarchy and be able to select the level only or with children/descendants.
Hope this helps.

Use of Hierarchy - and GOTO report based on it

Hi
I have a infoobject that uses an organisation unit hierarchy (0ORGUNIT). I use this in a report that also has a GOTO report connected. Both report has the 0ORGUNIT and its hierarchy.
When I navigate down in the hierarchy, II do a GOTO in a value in the hierarchy, and the filters will be taken into the GOTO report. But....
WHen i navigate myself down to the lowest level of information in the hierarchy, and on that levell rightclick and to a GOTO, the filters on the 0ORGUNIT (and the hierarchy) does not applies on the GOTO report. All other filters are applied on te GOTO report, but not the hierarchy.
In the GOTO report I tried to click on the "Filter" button beside the name, and it is empthy. I can't sellected anything.
I also get the message:
Diagnosis
Node restrictions are only permitted for a characteristic with active presentation hierarchy by a node of another hierarchy and end node restrictions.

Cost Center and Cost Element Hierarchy and Actual Cost Center

In Bex - Right now I am displaying Cost Center and Cost Element hierarchy with 12 months of data. I want to display the actual Cost center number next to cost element hierarchy - Can I display in Bex?
Tried to with Structure creating formula variable for Cost Center using replacement path - didn't work. Can you please suggest me how i can achieve this?
The format should be
CostCenter H1 CostElement H1 CostCenter Jan Feb ...
Thanks in advance and appreciate for any help...

Let me explain it clearly and hope it is clear now...
Designed the report as like this - Cost Center Hierarchy by Cost Element Hierarchy for 12 months of data. But Business agian search in R/3 for actual cost center numbers based on above two hierarchy nodes.
I am trying to achieve this Bex instead of going back to R/3 - so that they can understand how the dollar amount is summed up on which major cost centers.
If I remove the hierarchy on Cost Center - it will display all the cost centers. They want to see the Cost center numbers based on CC and CE hierarchy node so that you are displaying only those cost centers. That's the reason I am trying to design the report with CC Hier, CE hier, Cost Center number and 12 months of data.
In my data model - have only one Cost Center, if i can create another ZCOSTCENTER same as 0COSTCENTER - May be I can achieve this. still looking for options with out changing the design.

Webi 4.0 and BW Hierarchy Member Selector

Hello,
We have recently installed Business Objects 4.0.2 and have some questions about Webi 4.0 and reports based on SAP BW via BICS.
1. We have setup a BICS connection to a SAP BW query using the Information Design Tool and attempted to create a report on this connection.
2. In the query report panel, we select a Cost Center hierarchy object, cost element hierarchy object and a key figure. Next we click on the drop down arrow next to the hierarchy objects to see the members.
Unfortunately we do not see any members. It says "No Values to Display". If we search for the object via the text search, we can find objects that are selectable. Also if we click "Select All', "All Members from [hierarchy] are selected.
3. When we go to run the query and the parameters window appears, we can see the hierarchy fully exposed in the parameter pick list. The report will run successfully and returns data.
Is this normal functionality where the member selector is empty?
We have run a security trace to see if we needed any extra rfc's or authorizations, and everything has appeared to pass.
Another test was completed where the entitlement user was also given All access to test, and it had no effect.
The user has been added to the administrator's group in Business Objects for full access as well.
Any help would be great!
Regards,
Nick
Edited by: Nicholas Chu on Oct 14, 2011 8:13 PM

Hi Nicholas,
We are having exactly the same issue. I do not think this is a normal behavior, because I have seen in the web many videos where the hierarchy is displayed completely.
Sorry that I cannot help any further, I am interested in your findings too.
Kind regards,
Leticia
