Cummulative key figures

Hi experts. please explain me what are cummulative KFs and how to use them?

rajesh

Dear Rajesh
Flow/non-cumulative value
You can select the key figure as a cumulative value. Values for this key figure have to be posted in each time unit, for which values for this key figure are to be reported.
Non-cumulative with non-cumulative change
The key figure is a non-cumulative. You have to enter a key figure that represents the non-cumulative change of the non-cumulative value. There do not have to be values for this key figure in every time unit. For the non-cumulative key figure, values are only stored for selected times (markers). The values for the remaining times are calculated from the value in a marker and the intermediary non-cumulative changes.
Non-Cumulative with inflow and outflow
The key figure is a non-cumulative. You have to specify two key figures that represent the inflow and outflow of a non-cumulative value.
Note
For non-cumulatives with non-cumulative change, or inflow and outflow, the two key figures themselves are not allowed to be non-cumulative values, but must represent cumulative values. They must be the same type (for example, amount, and quantity) as the non-cumulative value.

Computing 2 cummulated key figures

Hi All,
We receive a requirement to develop a report that would able to compute 2 cummulated key figures in BW. I was informed this was not able to be done in the normal BeX query formula as the cummulative values are computed during query execution.
Example:
Usages   Loss/Gain       %LOSS/GAIN (=SUM(Usages)*100/SUM(Loss/Gain))
is there a way to do this in BeX or must this be done during back-end execution.

Thanks Suman - but i think BeX is not able to handle 2 cummulated key figure values and calculate them in a formula correctly:
The % Tol - is picking up cummulated values from Usages and Daily Gain/Loss - only way i can think of is to store this in the cube.
Usages     % Tol     Daily Gain/Loss
25,713     372             95,666
32,584     -64.52     -133,278
31,302     0.35              37,924
29,915     0.56              362

Storing Cummulated key figures in cube

Hi,
Can someone share on how to store cumulative key figure ? We have an Inbound and Staging layer that stores the inventory movements quantity. The staging layer contains material document and material item. At the reporting layer we need to be able to use the movement quantity and cummulate them by posting period. can someone share your thoughts on how this is coded with some performance considerations and delta. Is there an easy way to implement this in 3.X ?
I.e.
Material | Plant | Calendar Day | Quantity | Cummulated
A | XYZ | 01.01.2011 | 10 | 10
A | XYZ | 12.01.2011| 5 | 15
B | XYZ | 12.01.2011| 40 | 40
A | BBB | 13.01.2011 | 6 | 6

if youre staging is a dso then you are in luck. you could create a transformaiton routine to read the active dso table, find the key and read all the quantity on it and then store the quanity in the new infoobject result..
it should wok with delta.. unless somebody else comes up with a better idea..
or you could do it in CMOD before you bring it in BW system, makes it run even faster..
if your main object is a structure i could send u some code that help you figure it out..

Snapshot Inventory Management with Cummulative key figures

Experts,
We are implementing the snapshot model in parallel with the Daily cube. When trying to create the update rules from 2LIS_03_BX, we get a warning message saying 2lis_03_bx is setup for noncummulatives only followed by an error stating that there are no key figures in the cube.
How do we circumvent this issue?
All thoughts appreciated!

Pls go though below link which will help you to implement snapshot Inventory " How to handle Inventory"

Problem in using formula when key figure is commulative

Hi all ,
I am problem in generating the report when we use the of cummulative key figure to the formula..
consider the following senerio..
Date      KF1 KF2 KF1(C) Kf2(C) Formula (KF1(C) - KF2(C)
5.10.2005 1   2   1       2      -1 (wrong result)
6.10.2005 3   4   4(1+3) 6      -1
7.10.2005 5   6   9(4+5) 12     -1
System is taking the actual KF1data is subtracted with KF2 data it not taking cummulative data, Actually my requirement i want to subract the cummulative data between two key figure (ie KF1(c)-KF2(c))
My Required Output:
Date      KF1 KF2 KF1(C) Kf2(C) Formula (KF1(C) - KF2(C)
5.10.2005 1   2   1       2            -1 (Correct)
6.10.2005 3   4   4(1+3) 6            -2 (4-6)
7.10.2005 5   6   9(4+5) 12           -3 (9-12)
pls let through the lights on the above issues.

Hi Murali..
Thanks a lot, now i got a proper output and working fine..
what i did yesterday was i have creted a two key figure as a cummulative key figure ..
and when i try to subtract two cummulative key figure system is subtracting with actual key figure and hence i got wrong result.
Today i did same thing, only diffence is i made the third formula key figure as cummulative ..

Difference between cumulative and non-cumulative key figures

Hi,
What is the difference between cumulative and non-cumulative key figures and under what conditions they are used. What is snapshort and where it is used.

Hi.............
Basically the key figures are of two types cumulative and non cumulative.
Cumulative are the normal one which you use always and they always bring the new values of the key figures in the delta that is if suppose A has value 10 and after change the new value is 20 then you will use cumulative key figures there, and your delta( new value) will bring 20.
but suppose your key figures field only the change in the prior value that is in this case the delta in the key figure value will bring 10 (20-10- change of 10 )as new value in the key figure A then you will have to model it through the non cumulaitve key figures.
Now
1) Cumulative is for the first case that is if the key figure alwyas brings the new values of the key figure and not the change sin the key fiures value.
2)NCum. value with NCUM value change:
In this case ther is only one field which brings the changes for a particualr key figure and you ahve to define that key figure as non cumulative.
Ex: In case of stock only one filed brings both ingoing value and outgoing value so 10 ,-4,100,-34.....
In this case you will this option and use the key figure here in the space provided.
3) In this case you haev two separate key figures one for the inflow of stocks and one for the outflow of the stocks.
you use one key figure for the inflow and one key figure for the outflow.
The main key figure autiomatically takes care of the logic and gives the correct output upon the summation
net value of stocks( inflow- outflow).
Also do remember in this case the key figure for inflow and out flow are the basic key figures that is cumulative key figures.
A non-cumulative is a non-aggregating key figure on the level of one or more objects that is always displayed in relation to time. Examples of non-cumulatives include headcount, account balance and material inventory. here the aggregation of key figure is based on the another info object
There are two different ways to define non-cumulative key figures:
Non-cumulative key figure with non-cumulative changes:
Before you can define the non-cumulative key figure, an additional cumulative key figure containing the non-cumulative change must exist as an InfoObject.
Non-cumulative key figure with inflows and outflows
There has to be two additional cumulative key figures as InfoObjects for non-cumulative key figures - one for inflows and one for outflows. The cumulative key figures have to have the same technical properties as the non-cumulative key figure, and the aggregation and exception aggregation have to be SUM.
Features of non-cummulative key figures
A non-aggregating key Figure.
Records are not summarized for Reporting
Exception Aggregation is being applied on these key figures on the level of one or more info objects usually with time .
Examples: Head Count, Account balance, Material stock
consider simple senario
Date Net Stock Quantity Sales Revenue
01.02.2005 40 1000
02.02.2005 50 2000
03.02.2005 25 3000
this is the query output if stock quantity has treated as cummulative and non-cummulative key figures
if stock quantity taken as a cummulative key figure
Date NET STOCK QUANTITY SALES REVENUE
01.02.2005 30 1000
02.02.2005 50 2000
03.02.2005 20 3000
RESULT 100 6000
in the above result the key figure has aggregated to the total value that wont give sense to the net stock quantity
if stock quantity taken as non-cummulative key figure
Date Net Stock Quantity (LAST) Sales Revenue
01.02.2005 30 1000
02.02.2005 50 2000
03.02.2005 20 3000
RESULT 20 6000
Hope this helps you..............

Cumulative key figure and non cumulative key figure

Hi BW Expertz
Could any one give me the clarification about cumulative and non cumulative key figures .Why we go for cumulative key figure and non cumulative key figure.If any docs could u just mail to the following [email protected]
Thanx In advance
Best regards
sankar prasad

Cumulative values are those key figures (KF) that are cumulated using all characteristics, thus also using time.
Ex: Sales revenue, Quantity....
Non-cumulative values are those key figures that are measured in relation to a period in time; they cannot be meaningfully cumulated over time. Non-cumulative values are summarized over time using so called exception aggregation.
Ex: Number of employees, Inventory, Stock prices, Account balance,.....
AGGREGATION TAB
Non cumulatives are evaluated by non-cummulative values. Non-cummulative values are special key figures that are different from other key figures (cummulative values) in data transfers and saving as well as in aggregational behaviour. These are measured in relation to a period in time; that is to say, they cannot be meaningfully cumulated over time. Non-cumulative value are summaraized over-time using exception aggregation.
Non-cumulative values such as 'number of employess' are cumulated using characteristics such as 'cost center'. It does not make any sense, however, to cumulate the number of employees using different periods. The result at the end of any particular period would be the sum total of number of employees for each posting during the period. This would of course be wrong.
Instead, the aggregation of the KF can be defined as exception aggregation wherein an additional references characteristics is utilized to tell BW which value to use during the period, in this case, 0CALMONTH is used, in the above example, to indicate that only the last value of 0HEADCOUNT, updated by costcenter, is to be taken for any calender year and month.
Cummulative vs Non-Cumulatives
The purpose of non-cumulatives is to optimize the data transfer in BW, the data retention and the database access. The data transfer from OLTP to BW is minimized and only the meaningful data is saved and processed.
It is recommended that you use non-cumulative values for areas that dont change frequently such as warehouse stock or number of employees.
Non-cumulatives are modeled in BW using a non-cumulative value with the fields belonging to it for storing the non-cumulative or for inflows or outflows.
Non-cumulative values are stored with special KF that differ in terms of data transfers and aggregational behaviour.
Features of NON-Cumulative Values Transfering and Saving Data:
- NC values are mapped uisng one KF for NC changes or two KF for inflows and outflows.
-NC are transferred in an initialization run and the change runs that follow (initialization can also be omitted here)
- A non-cumulative value always has a time-related exception aggegation.

Planning using the Non-Cumulative Key figures

HI,
In my reporting requirement for IP, I need to get some actual values from the cube 0IC_C03. The key figues which I required are 0VALSTCKVAL and 0TOTALSTCK, but these 2 are non-culative key figures. When I selected these 2 key figures in my aggregation level, it is throwing an error message as "InfoObject 0VALSTCKVAL(Version A) is not compounded and Aggregation level is inconsitent".
I read in some document that, it is not possible to use non-cumulative keyfigures in ALVL.
I searched in SDN and SERVICE also, but some documents are saying that, in new path level (19) it is possible. Now I using the path level 18 only. In this case how we have to use these non-cumulative keyfigues,, please sugguest me...
Thanks in advance...
Regards
Rajesh

Hi
Non-cummulative keyfigures are not supported fro planning and teh error thrown is correct.Please find the help link which gives what are supported and not supported as part of aggregation levels.

What is cumulative key figure and non cumulative key figure?

Hi Experts,
can anyone clarify me about KEY FIGURES in detail with an example for each topic like
1.Aggregation Tab in Key Figure InfoObject
2.Cummulative
3.Non Cummulative/Cummulative Values
4.Non Cummulative( Inflow & Outflow )
I think it would be better understandable with if explained with example
Thanks,

HI ,
Cumulative values are those key figures that are cumulated using all characteristics, thus also using time.
Example: sales revenue, weight, etc.
Non-cumulative values are those key figures that are measured in relation to a period in time; that is to say they cannot be meaningfully cumulated over time. Non-cumulative values are summarized over time using so-called exception aggregation.
Example: stock quantities/-values, number of employees, account balances, etc.

i will be very greatfull if somebody can give me some clear explaination and with some examples
thanks and regards
H.B.

hi Dinesh,
thanks for the quick response.
With the info i got ...i am assuming that...
if we set the settings of aggregation when creating key figures they will be displayed in the query results row.
but if we want to have this effect in the data targets then we have to do these settings in the update rules
plz can you tell me where to do these settings and is the affect same as the properties of key figures do in the query results row.
thanks and regards

How to cumulate key figure for whole fiscal year with one time variable?

Hello everybody!
I have a problem creating a query that allows to get cumulated key figure for whole fiscal year (FY), when I actualy type only last period for the FY.
The query itself is very simple:
- I have "Organization" characteristic in "Rows" section
- I have one key figure "Number of invoices" in "Columns"
- I have "Fiscal year variant" 0FISCVARNT defined in "Filter" that has 12 periods within Fiscal year
and then
- in section "Free Characteristics" I have "Fiscal year/period" 0FISCPER.
I want to be able to provide ONE single value when run query, which is last period of a FY (like 012/2003), but then in report see cummulated number of invoices for WHOLE fiscal year.
Will appreciate any help!

Problem with Restricted Key Figures Please Solve

Dear All.
i restrict the key figure on some GL's for Cumulative balance, this RKF show me the result base on the 0CALMONTH which is select in the variable screen.
i created one more RKF with the same GL's but i restrict that RKF also with fix 0Calmonth say DEC2008.
but the problem is when i run the report it shows me that data correct, but when i bring the 0CALMONTH on top of the Key Figure structure it only show me the data for selected month for the fix month RKF the result come empty.
my requirement is that i have to select month range and i need to show every month value minus the Dec2008 value, this only works if i donot bring the 0CALMONTH on top of Key figure structure but i want to keep it on the top of KF structure so i can show each month value - dec2008 value.
Please explain how can i control this.
Kind regards,

Dear Chandu.
I am creating the RKF on Cummulative Balance KF by restricting it with some combinations of GL's, let say the name of RKF is TRADE_Accounts.
My requirement is to give Calmonth selection from the variable in interval let say from 01.2009 - 05.2009
i simply want to display TRADE_Account balance for each month in selection but by doing the minus the value of Trade_Account from the same RKF i.e. TRADE_Account_2 which i restrict on DEC2008.
so i created Two RKF for KF cummulative balance one is restricted with 0CALMONTH value for DEC2008 only.
then i create on CKF let TRADE_BALANCE = TRADE_Account2008 - TRADE_Account.
and place the CKF in Key Figure Structure, it work fine but problem comes when i try to bring 0CALMonth on top of key figure structure so i can show the result for each selected month.
when i do this it only shows the Balance for selected months but it did not minus it with the other RKF i.e. TRADE_Account2008.
when for testing i also put the TRADE_Account2008 in Key figure structure it shows empty result when the 0CALMONTH is on top of the Key figure structure.
Please explain how can i achieve this.
Kind regards,

Key Figure Summation in DSO

Hi,
I am loading data from Cube to DSO.
In cube i have fields with 2 records below as example
f1=1 f2=2 f3=3 f4=4 and key figure k1=1
f1=1 f2=2 f3=3 f4=4 and key figure k1=1
In DSO all these f1's fields are key fields as per requirement. And when i load now i get in DSO as
f1=1 f2=2 f3=3 f4=4 and key figure k1=2
I do not want k1=2 but i want k1=1 in DSO and not sure why this is getting summed up even though i have selected overwrite in Transfer rules.
I have checked mapping and cube data. All are fine.
I just want to avoid this and do not know what to do.
A routine or formula or something else?
Please help.

Hi,
Check your DSO Design
Keep f1 ,f2, f3, f4, are in KeyFileds of DSO and Keep key figure k1 in DataFields of DSO.
Here I'm assuming that F1 to F4 are Charecteristics.And only K1 is Keyfigure. If this is the case then I hope it will work if you follw the above design.
Thanks

Open sales orders key figure in APO

HI Gurus,
Can anyone please throw some light as to where i need to be looking in this scenario. Our BW resource extracts open sales order quantity from ECC and loads into APO DP. The issue that i'm seeing is the open sales order quantity key figure is not getting updated properly in APO. For example to begin with we have a quantity of 800 EA in the period of 12/2014 (we go by fiscal period and in this case 12 would represent September 2014), 01/2015(October 2014), 02/2015(November 2014). The customer service group has deleted the quantity completely from period 12/2014 (September 2014) in ECC. But when i look in the planning book in APO, i can still see the quantities in the periods of 12/2014, 01/2015 and 02/2015. I was expecting the quantity from the period of 12/2014 to not showup in APO as it has been deleted in ECC. Our BW resource also confirms that he has loaded it properly in APO. Where can i start looking to resolve this issue.
Thanks
Ravi

Dear Subhash, Thanks for your reply and i apologize as APO DP is new to me and i'm picking up things, can you please guide me to which tcode should i be going and checking this. Also reloading the planning area can you xplain a little more please
Okay i have checked in the tcode /SAPAPO/TSCUBE and this is setup in the process chain for us which runs once a month on the opening day of the period. I hope this is what you were referring to?
Under the key figure assignment in TSCUBE tcode, i see that the 'Add data" check box is not checked under Target area.

Hi,
We are using BI 7.0, release 701 and level 008. We are facing problem in WAD (web report output). When ever we do 'Select filter' for key figures and 'change the order' of key figures, it does not get reflected in new order. Though drag and drop of key figures is working.
Though same change order is working fine in Bex Analyser.
Kindly suggest some inputs.
