Constant selection on characteristic in key figure

Hi,
I have a key figure. I am doing a right click on the key figure and restricting it with a characteristic. When I right click on the characteristic inside the key figure , I see an option called constant selection. Can someone tell me what the constant selection is and how does it work?
Thanks,
-Ravi

How to create a document on a characteristic and key figure combination?

Hello,
I will need to create for my customer a document on a characteristic and key figure combination. I don't know yet which BW objects will be concerned, but I'm trying to understand how it works.
1) I call the document screen in RSA1.
2) I select InfoProvider data.
3) I click on Create, enter a name and a description and go to the next register (Log.DOc.Properties).
Question: What do I need to select here?
According to SAP Help, the following has to be maintained:
InfoProvider: How can I get my cube diplayed in the list?
Query: Same question. But is it necessary to select a query?
Key Figure: OK
All characteristics for which the Characteristic is Document Property indicator is set: OK
Hide Name: OK
Thanks in advance for you help, Nathalie

How to create a new Characteristic and Key figure ?

Hi !
I am newly trying to learn APO DP and Could anyone please explain how to create a new Characteristic and Key figure in Demand Planning Administrator workbench[ RSA1] with steps?

Hi,
Instead of RSA1, use RSD1 to create Characteristics & Key figure.
1. Go to transaction, select radio button for respective info object i mean Char ot key fig.
2. Enter name of the same & click on create transaction.
3. Suppose it will ask for APO or BW then select APO for key fig. so some new functionality come in to key fig. like key fig. fixing etc.
4. always copy new key fig. or characteristics from standard.
5. after creation activate the key figure.
Hope this steps will help you to create Char. & key fig.

How to add the required characterists and key figures to drill down report?

hi,
i am creating a drill down report using t.code FKI4. however i noticed that some of the characteristics and key figures required by me is not listed in the report catalog. how can i add the required characteristis and key figures to the report catalog?

Hi Inna,
Based on my research, a drilldown report is a layout design that at first hides complexity and enables the user to toggle conditionally hidden report items to control how much detail data they want to see. Drilldown reports are used to change the report
layout interactively. So it wouldn’t affect the rows displayed in the outmost group. Though some rows are hidden when the report is initially run, it will still count them. This is by design.
Furthermore, if I understand correctly, you also expect the outmost group is a dynamic group depends on the drilldown action, right? As per my understanding, this function still cannot be achieved at this moment.
Thanks for your understanding.

Selection on Global Calculated Key Figure problem

Hi all,
I've got a Calculated key figure, made up of 2 key figures and 2 restricted key figures, saved to a homogenous multiprovider (Customer Sales). this works fine as is.
However, when you create a selection in BEx QD, that limits the CKF further by Distribution channel, and view the result, the result seems to be multiplied by a value to the effect of 2.8???
If you view the CKF by itself its fine (though not limited to what it needs to be).
As an example.
Say sales for a distribution channel was 1 million dollars. Sales overall was 2 million dollars. If i drag in my CKF (and have NO characteristics), it comes up with 2 million dollars.
If i limit it to 1 sales office, no issues, I get that sales office's value. However, if i limit it to a distribution channel, i get roughly 2.8 million dollars.
Any ideas? I can't see the logic in this. Perhaps someone knows of the issue/has seen a note or something regarding this, cos its got me scratchin my head?
Cheers

Hi Pierre,
I appreciate the fast reply. This thing is driving me nuts!
Ok so when you refer to the CKF are you referring to the global CKF on the multiprovider or the CKF i have on the report that is restricted (basically a local RKF)?
I've had a look through there and have found the calculation tab, but can't really say i've found "Calculate according to current formula".
What i see are:
a dropdown list headed "calculate results as..." (nothing defined)
another dropdown list called "calculate Single Values as..." (nothing defined)
a tick box called cumulated (unticked)
another tickbox called "also apply to results" (unticked)
another dropdown listbox called "calculation direction" (default setting)
Underneath all that is a tickbox called "use precalculated value" (unticked).
is it something under all that that i need to change?
Do i change the global CKF or the local RKF?
Thanks for the assist.

How to create selection variable on a Key Figure

Dear Experts,
I have a key figure 'No of Days' in the BEx Query. I need a selection variable which when the users provide the input, should give me the report output where the rows shows only those whose No of days are less or equal to the input value.
I am able to create such a selection out of a Characteristics field but I am unable to create one from a key figure.
Kindly note that we are not using the BW Portal. We are running this report in the webi from a Universe created from the BE Query.I know that it is possible to ceate such a scenario in Webi, but we want the selection coming from the BEx Query for better report performance.
Thanks,
Sai

Hi Experts,
Thanks for the suggestions. I cannot use the 'Condition' since this BEx query is being called from a Webi report. MDX will not recogonize the condition.
I was able to create a Variable and use it in the calculated key figurare. The problem is , I am getting 1 where the condition is met and 0 when the condition is not met. But I want to see only the results where the condition is met. How to to avoid the rows where the result is not met.
Am I getting this because there are actually 3 other key figures along in the query in addition to the key figuare ' No of days'.
Should I add some condition to the other key figuares also.
Kindly confirm and help.
Thanks,
Sai

Problem with constant selection of keyfigure ar reporting level

I have created a multiprovider on top of a DSO and a Cube ,there is one characteristic which is not common in the DSO and Cube ,while i make constant selection on a partcular key figure at reporting level, that uncommon characterisitic data is displayed as not assigned.
Please help me in this regard.
Thanks in advance
Vikas Arya

Hi,Vikas Araya,
Try to use filter on that characteristic which is not common in the DSO and Cube.
because constant selection on key fig allows u r key fig value to become independent of all filter values.
Hope it may help u....

Problem with 0FIGL_VC1 when use constant selection in the query

Please kindly help me. I have this problem for 2 weeks already.
When I create a query from virtual cube 0FIGL_VC1 (balance sheets / p&l statements), if I use constant selection in any of key figure, my report could not display financial statment correctly.
My report layout
Columns : key figures (including 0FIGL_VC1_CK001)
Rows: 0GLACCEXT (financial statement item) << as hierarchy
Initially, the query is processed correctly.
However, based on the requirement from my customer, I really have to use "constant selection" for some of my columns. Whenever I do so, the query display incorrectly. (Some nodes of financial statement item just disappear. (it seem like all contra item will disappear.)
Please help!

If I dont use constant selection in the query, data are display correctly.
But If I use constant selection in the query, some financial statement item dont display any value
Example :
   Financial statement item(Display in hier)     Period1   Total Period1(Constant selection)
             A                                                       10            60
             B                                                       20            60
             C                                                       30            60

Select the Key Figures to be presented in a query before execute the it

Hi,
I want to select(through checkbox) the Key Figures to be presented in a query before executing the query. I'm creating BEX queries and web templates (I'm working on BEX 7.0).
I haven't found clear post about this so if you have implemented something like this please help me and share your solution.
Kind regards,
Ana

Hi,
If you set a property of your KF as "Hide and can be shown", you will get a filter option for these KFs after executing the report in the navigational block of web report.
When you click on that filter, you will get the list of KFs, then you can select the desired KFs using check box.

Using Key figure attribute of a characteristic in a query

Hi All,
I have the following scenario. I have defined a key figure attribute for a characteristic Infoobject. I have included this characteristic infoobject in an Infocube. I now want to use the key figure attribute as a regular key figure when I create a report based on the Infocube. Is it possible and if so how is it possible?
Thanks
Sundar

Hi Saundar,
   There's another way.Set the characteristic with key figure attributes as a data target under your info area. Create a MultiProvider and include your Cube and this characteristic. Here you can set the key figure as your MultiProvider key figure.
   Don't forget to take care of the identification of MultiProvider.
   Hope this helps.

Aaron

Restricted key figure as a selection screen

hi
in my fs they gave selection screen and restricted key figures are same things?
can i use this restricted kf as a selection also?

Hi,
If u are talking about 'selection' vs 'restricted key figure: -
Restricted key figure is the selection that u create globally and are avaible for all queries which are built on the multiporvider on which u created your restricted key figure.
when u right click in ur query desinger row or column and create a 'new selection' that also basically is a restricted key figure -b ut available only locally within that particular query.
whereas the globally created RKF will be available to all queries on that info provider.
And 'selection screen' will show all variables u have set as 'ready for input' . it will ask for user to enter the value when query is executed.
hope it helps

Rathy

Hi,
Yes you can change this display by following path in tcode :spro
Goto >SPRO>SAP Reference IMG>SAP Netweaver>Business Intelligence>Settings for reporting and analysis>General settings for reporting and analysis--> Set alternative currency display(table RSRCURRDISP).
Flag = A     After value
Flag = B     Before value

Webtemplates - Disply Group Of Key Figures based on the selection criteria

Hello,
I have a requirement of displaying Kefigures based on the selection criteria in the browser.
Assume that I have Query with the following set of key figures.
Plan_KF in units CSE
Actual_KF in units CSE
Difference in units CSE
Plan_KF in units T3
Actual_KF in units T3
Difference in units T3
Plan_KF in units PAK
Actual_KF in units PAK
Difference in units PAK
1) I should have drop down box with values
CSE
T3
PAK
2) If user selects PAK then query should display only the key figures with units in PAK
i.e.
Plan_KF in units PAK
Actual_KF in units PAK
Difference in units PAK
If user selects CSE the query should display only key figures
Plan_KF in units CSE
Actual_KF in units CSE
Difference in units CSE
I tried using the DropDown Box - (not much usefull to select more than one Key Figure)
and CheckBox web items - I have to do multiple selections (Not very much suitable if the Key figures are too many).
I appreciate your timely help.
system specifications:
SAP_BW - 310
Front-End - 6.20
Advanced Thanks,
Ramana

Hi,
One alternative would be to save two additional copies of the query (each with different units) and code your dropdown box with the RESET_DATA_PROVIDER command.
So if your queries were:
Z_QUERY_CSE
Z_QUERY_T3
Z_QUERY_PAK
You would define the default unit (I'll assume CSE) in yoru web template, and code your dropdown box entries to switch the Data Provider (I'll asume DP1) to the appropriate query.
The code behind "T3" in your dropdown box would be:
<SAP_BW_URL DATA_PROVIDER='DP1' CMD='RESET_DATA_PROVIDER' INFOCUBE='Z_CUBE1' QUERY='Z_QUERY_T3'>
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/bd/43143c1ab8ff1ae10000000a11405a/frameset.htm
Two things to look out for in this work-around:
1) Number of queries increases by a factor of 3
2) Performance implication in replacing the data provider with a new query.

Query desginer Key Figure and Selections

Hi,
I have the following requirement:
1. I have a structure in the rows part og the QD.
2. Now, there are 5 selections created under that structure.
3. Each selection has 2 more Key Figures added to them.
Say, it will look as follows:
Structure
|--Sel1
       |----
KF1
       |----
KF2
    |--Sel2
       |----
KF1
       |----
KF2
Can you give any ides how I can do this?
Edited by: anjana banerjee on May 21, 2009 9:58 AM

What is meant by selection here? If you mean selection as characteric then for your information you can only create 2 structures in QD. one for characteristc and one for KF

Highlight a key figure based on a characteristic value

I have a query set-up with the following information fields:
Project_Phase (characteristic), Phase1_ForecastFinishDate (key figure), Phase2_ForecastFinishDate (key figure), Phase3_ForecastFinishDate (key figure), Phase4_ForecastFinishDate (key figure), Phase5_ForecastFinishDate (key figure)
As you can see from the above, the first field is a characteristics and the others are key figures.
I want to set the query up so that if for example, Project_Phase = u201CPhase 2u201D, then the corresponding ForecastFinishDate would highlight green u2013 in this case it would be Phase2_ForecastFinishDate.
Is this possible using an exception, or any other method for that matter. We are using version 3.5.
Cheers.

Simon,
The best way to create it is using exceptions and conditions.
Follow the link to the conditions:
