Cost roll up for financial reporting

Hi Experts,
I have requirement to have financial and management reporting with cost roll up.
As per my understanding, cost roll up happen based on cost center and profit center relationship.
But in my scenario, i have org unit defined as parent only but not maintained as cost center or profit center. (shown below)
In such case, will cost roll up function works??
Is org unit still available for reporting (without cost center and profit center)?
Thanks in advance
Govind Sharma

Hi Puru,
We dont need to use parent cost centers for cost collection, parent cost centers are only use for reporting (group or local reporting).
Business need all accounting have to be perrfomed at child level only- as shown below
Kindly let me know if you need more details on the same.
Thanks
Govind Sharma

Order settlement cost ( Activity cost) can we consider for financial report

I am in port Implemetation as per their senario financial reports based on cost center hierarchy,
for minisrial report requirement, they submitting Operational wise nothing but cost center heirarchy wise
for Pm order settlement Man hour cost based on kp26 computed cost converted actual at the time of confirmation. At the time of settlement to concern cost center is debited but primary cost booking for (man hour) salaries not deducting the primary cost element. Here is salaries and manhours both is apprearing in the cost center. My client requirement is based manour activity cost deducted in salary primary element, they want that process. After Order settlement based on amount we can deduct concern intial cost booking cost center to Order settle cost center.
Please suggest and PM order cost affect in cost center in primary booking and after order settlement
Please anyone resolve my issue
Clarification above issue
when we settle PM order Activtiy cost (Manhours) based on the salaried booked in primary cost element,we assume per hour man hour cost and specify in kp26 based on the activtiy cost planning system picks cost and at time of order settlement it will settle concern cost center.
intially we booked salaries in primary cost not thing but salaries a/c and once again we are settling the same salary assumption cost to cost center ...
when we go for cost center report Initial salary a/c booking Administrative cost center and now production cost center with activity cost with secondary cost element ....so problem is both cost centers are debiting for the same salaries( activity cost) but my client want cost center report all including primary and secondary cost element total balance.
Please resolve my problem it very critical

Dear Sudhakar,
salaries cost booked in administrative cost center with primary cost element salary a/c
but Activity type man hour is meant for per hour salary cost. we can specified in kp26
so when we take cost center report, we get salary amount and activity cost in admin cost center and product cost center for the same salary amount... for financial report requirment, if we use cost center report the salay amount appeared twice.
Please explain the activity cost against salay amount ..

In controlling secondary cost element cost is considerble for financial rep

in controlling secondary cost element cost is it considerble for financial reporting requirment. In controlling for pm orders based on planning in kp26 they are booking man hours activity price. when at time of confirm of the order planning converted to actual.
Client is giving activity price based on primary cost, when we plan the activity price It will double booking what we incured in primary cost. let me clarify for financial report requirment can we consider secondary cost or not

Hi,
Secondory cost is a re allocation of Primary cost. It should not be considered if you are considering primary cost. Secondary cost is used for analysis and should not be confused with Primary cost
Ex. Cost gets collected to cost centers, The activity is a carrier which carries cost to Process/ production order. So that doent mean that the cost is gernerated twice once you book the financial and second when you acutally allocate the cost.
In controlling we allocate the cost in a more meaningful way to get the required analysis which will support the decision.
So both the cost should not be considered
This may be useful

Defining default value for financial reports display in the workspace (9.3)

Hi
I need to change the default value for financial reports workspace preview mode, for every workspace user. It is actually set on html, and I would like to have pdf instead.
This option can be changed when logged on the workspace, in file->preferences->financial reporting->default preview mode. However I want every user to start with the right settings, so they dont have to change anything manually.
I have tried to do it with Shared Services : under projects, BI+, assign preferences. From there I can change the default folder and the start page (the general preferences), however I cannot find the options for financial reporting.
Is there a way to change these values with hyperion tools ?
If not, is it possible to change it directly in the repository DB ?Thanks and best regards

We looked at this about 2 years ago - from memory, you can only set preferences when the users are first setup in Shared Services, under the manage preferences section of the wizard.
I can't remember if there is a settings file you can edit for the default users - i think there is, but again this must be set before users are set up.
We looked at changing users preferences, but gave up on the idea as all users had been provisioned already :-(
Cheers, Iain

How to Set Up E-Mail (Email) for Financial Reporting ?

Does someone could help me explaining in which configuration file is set the e-mail server for Financial Reporting or Workspace ? I am using EPM 11.1.2.1 version and open the FR reports inside the Workspace.
Thanks,

You could do the email setup through the configuration utility by selecting the Foundation ->Configure Common settings.

How to use Adobe Distiller in Win 2k8 server 64-bit for Financial Reporting

Hi All,
We need to use the Adobe Distiller in Windows 2008 Server SP2 OS for generating PDF reports in Financial Reporting. However, the Adobe Distiller installation recognises the OS version i.e. 32-bit or 64-bit and installs itself automatically.
Now, the problem is that Hyperion Financial Reporting supports only 32-bit version of Adobe Distiller. Has anyone faced a similar issue or can anyone provide some lead into this?

Hi Sultan,
The version is 11.1.2.0
When we were unable to print the PDF reports, we raised an SR during which it was informed that
only 32-bit version of Adobe Distiller is supported. This can also be due to implied dependency. As
per the support matrix, if we use Win 2008 SP2 as the OS, only 32-bit binaries for FR is supported.
Hence, it implies that only 32-bit Adobe Distiller might be supported for generating PDF output.

PDF preview in workspace not working for Financial Reporting

I have an issue in workspace with doinga PDF preview on a Financial Reporting report. PDF preview works fine via workspace but only FR has the problem, here is the error that is displayed. I am running FR server on AIX and the print servers are on windows platform. We have two installations pointing to same windows box for print server. The 1st if FR for HFM running all on windows, the 2nd is FR on AIX for an Essbase installation. The HFM FR install works great via workspace but the the 2nd produces the following error:
Error 500--Internal Server Error
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
10.5.1 500 Internal Server Error
The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request.
We made the port for the print server static(it is normally dynamic) so we could open the firewall port to the print server and have verifed it is open.
Does anyone have a suggestion of what could be producing the Internal Server Error. I should mention that we use Weblogic for the web deployment of workspace if that should have any bearing on the issue.

Firewall issues were preventing this problem.

Error in EPM config for financial reporting

While configuring the Financial reporting we recieve error as :an unexpected error occured and application will shutdown" after financial reporting Schema configuration step.
Please let us know if you have any suggestions for the same.
Thanks in advance.

The issue might be with some unknown hostname updated in the HSS registry.Not sure whether you have resolved it already but checking the registry.log file in the config logs folder would be a great way to start.
Also there is separate forums for Reporting and Infra questions...

Datasource for financial reporting structure

Hello,
I am extracting data from several finance datasources (FINGLAU*) to an external BW system. For several reporting requirements I need an extract of the so-called Financial Reporting Structures, which are effectively hierarchies of GL-accounts.
I have found a way to manually save these structures to an Excel-file through the Business Configuration work center. However I would like to automate this process by extracting these from a data source but I as of yet I have not been able to find one.
Does anyone know of a datasource to extract these structures?
Regards, Dirk

Hello Dirk,
I am not sure if there is a data source for the financial reporting structure.
You can check help center document : Overview of Data Sources in SAP Business By Design
for the list of all available data sources.

Rolling month for webi report using Univ based on BEX Query

Dear Experts,
I'm new to OLAP universes.
We have a requirements of having last 12 months rolling for given measure(Key figure) in webi report using Univ based on Bex Query.
We require a calmonth (time dimension) object (restricted for last 12 months) where user can drag and drop on column section of cross-tab table. User should drag more than one Key figure ( for ex. sales rev and & qty sold) for each month
Could you please provide me the solution to do this?
Thanks
Akshara

Hi Henry,
Thank you for your response.
BEx query has not been created yet. we need to create accordingly and require your help in creating the same.
Regarding reporting requirements, User wants to have adhoc reporting with rolling months ( 12 months or 6 months) functionality. Users want to link any KF to this rolling months dimension.
If we can't have this, what is the alternative that we can propose to user.
Thanks
Akshara.

Editing new crystal layouts for financial reports in 8.8

After upgrading to 8.8 PL10 I decided to investigate the new financial layouts for Crystal. When I opened the layout however I couldn't make much sense of how it is structured or even functions, it seems to reference a PLD table that I couldn't find under tables, views, or stored procedures. Any advice on how to better manipulate this report would be great.
They are all structured similarly so lets use the new balance sheet as a reference.
-John-Michael

Hello!
Here are my findings ...
- The new Crystal Reports Layouts base deeply on the "old" PLD Layouts.
- The table "PLD__ITEMS" is an XML-file with the data of the report.
- If you want to show same additional fields of PLD__ITEMS on the report, it is not enough to drag the field on the report. You also have to format the field and add additional info to the CSS-Class like: FileName="OINV";FieldNum="CardName";
The workflow I used to edit the new CR Layouts:
1. Edit the old PLD Layout as needed
2. Use the Crystal Reports Converter to get a CR from the PLD [Download|/docs/DOC-8768#section16 [original link is broken]]
(The PDF included gives some basic hints about the structure of the CR Layout)
3. Edit the SAP CR with the informations of the converted CR (from PLD)
Hope this helps a bit ...

Ports required to be opened for Financial Reporting Studio Client access

Hi Everyone,
What are the exact ports which are required to be opened between the client machines and the Report Server so that users are able to use the Reporting Studio. (I guess opening port 8200 only will not suffice, will it?)
Thanks,
Sayantan

Sayantan,
Chapter 15 of the Financial Studio Report documentation (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/fr_user.pdf) specifically pages 300 to 311 explain the default setup ports, the amount of Essbase ports required and such.

Is there a Data Model in BW for Financial Reporting?

Hi,
I am required to integrate a non-SAP Financial application to SAP BW. I am wondering if there exists a Data Model in SAP BW that supports out of the box canned reports. This will help me target the interface design to feed the existing Data Model. Any pointers to this Data Model and list of canned reports would be very helpful.
Thanks,
Nitin
