Currency as key field

Hi All,
I wanted to know if a unit(currency in my case) is treated as key field in an ODS although it is not explicitly declared in key field area and is placed in data field.
Suppose for the same key field in ODS I have a key figure which has 300 Dollars as value and 200 Eur as another value.
Will this be treated as two separate records even if the Currency field is not included in key?
Thanks for ur help!

Hi,
Any fields in the data field CANNOT be treated as a key field.
Thus the records will be overwritten.

F4 help values for currency key field in table

Hi all,
I have added currency and currency key fields in my Z table. For the curreny key field, i have assigned the standard data element WAERS. I have implemented Table Maintenance Generator for my table. But the F4 help values for the currency key field is not appearing when i tried to maintain table entry.
Should i need to check the Foreign key check box for the field attribute? But this check box is in disable field in screen layout.
Could someone tell me how to solve this issue?

Hi,
Make the check table of the currency field of your Ztable as TCURC,which is the master table of Currency.Inside the domain of the field you write the TCURC as a value table.and make foriegn key relationship with the TCURC table.

Currency Field as a Key Field in Z Table

I am creating a z table in which i have to make a AMount field as a key field . But it is showing a warning while activating the table stating that "Key field AMTFR has num. type DEC: Buffering not possible, Transport restricted"
How can i clear this warning.
Thanks in advance

In this design I suggest you add one more field to the table called SLAB Code., which will be the key. You can have it as CHAR data type of whatever length you want.
That way its easy to handle, because tomorrow if the slabs change, you are changing the values of the key fields, this way you can avoid that.
You can probably have composite key of Slab code and validity dates.

How to convert flat file to XMl without key field value

Hi experts,
I have a input CSV Flat file which has got one HEADER line and Multiple Detail records.
I do not have any key field value to convert this FLAT file to XML using normal file content conversion.
Is there any module or Bean which can be used to convert this Flat File to XML.
Or any other remedy to overcome this problrm.

I am not using the first line in the mappiing.
Are you saying that I need to ignore the first line while doing the conversion using Recordset OFFSET ?
Or do I need to make a single structure taking all the fields from header as well as details and while defining the structure I need to ignore the fields from header?
Please suggest.

Error in collect statement(non-key fields must be numeric)...

Error in collect statement(non-key fields must be numeric)...
Hello Experts,
I created an internal table based from a ztable. The structure of the ztable is
as follows:
1. MANDT -> PRIMARY KEY
2. BUKRS -> PRIMARY KEY
3. TXK50 -> PRIMARY KEY
4. ANLKL -> PRIMARY KEY
5. KTANSW -> PRIMARY KEY
6. KOSTL -> PRIMARY KEY
Then the remainder of the fields(around 8 fields) are currency data types(ANBTR).
An error is showing saying 'You can only use the collect command in a table if all of its non-key
fields are numeric(type I,P or F).
I searched the forum and it said that non-keys must be numeric in order for the
collect command to work. But all of my primary keys are non-numeric.
Below is my declaration:

Help On Currency and Quantity Fields:
Whenever you have to maintain fields for currencies and quantites u need to refer them to currency key and quantity key which also have to be present in the table.
If suppose you are creating a table for Employee. And suppose that fields would be like :
EMPID -
employee id
EMPNAME
employee name
DEPARTMENT --- department
SALARY -- salary ( Data Type u2013 CURR )
WEIGHT -
weight of the employee ( Data Type -- QUAN )
Now the fields SALARY AND WEIGHT fields should refer to currency and quantity keys. So you need to have two more fields like
CURRKEY --- Data Type ( Cuky )
Quantity --- Data Type ( Unit )
Now we have to attach the field Currkey to the field Salary
And the field Quantity to the field Weight
So when u create a table you can see a tab Currency / Quantity fields.
Here You can give the reference table and the reference field against the salary and weight fields.

DSO - What key fields and data fields in dso

Hi experts,
I need to create a dso in between the cube and 2 data sources(2lis_11_vaitm, 2lis_12_vcscl) to stage the data. My question is: what key fields and data fields to choose for the dso? is there a standard dso to copy? please explain in detail the model to set up, whether to connect both the ds's to dso and then to cube or one ds to dso and the other to the cube. more details will help.

Check this for standard DSO:

Key Fields & Data Fields in DSO.

In Standard DSO, Maximum how many number of key fields and data fields we can enter in one DSO?
For e.g : In Cube Char - 248 KF - 233
In DSO Key Fields - ? Data Fields - ?
Regrards,
Nithi.

Hi Nithi,
Since Key fields are decide by us we can add according to our requirement.
Key fields can only be 16 you cannot exceed this. but if you have more key fields, you can combine fields using a routine for a key field
Max Data Fields - 749 data fields can be added in a DSO.

No key field found for creation of DataSource - Classification Datasource

Hello,
While trying to create a clasiffication datasource based on 0PLANT_ATTR, when i assign a characteristic and push the DataSource button, i get the following message:
No key field found for creation of DataSource
Diagnosis
During generation of a classification or configuration DataSource, only those key fields for the object table (field "Obj.Tabelle") that are already present in the basis DataSource transferred to the extract structure. This is the case when none of the key fields of the object table were found in the structure of the basis DataSource.
System response
A DataSource cannot be created without key fields. The action was cancelled.
Procedure
Check whether you have selected the correct basis DataSource and object table. For more information, please see SAP Note 569849.
Do you know what can be the problem?
Thank you and regards

Hi Alberto,
plants are a special case. The key which is used for the classification
of plants (object type BETR) is not the same as the key which is used in
datasource 0PLANT_ATTR.
BETR has key LOCNR (Site). That's a customer related to a plant. The
customer number will be extracted in field LOCNR.
0PLANT_ATTR extracts the plant in its key field WERKS.
Transaction CTBW and the generic extraction program for classifications
don't know the relationship between LOCNR and WERKS. So they cannot map
them.
I do recommend a solution which would add the mapping between
LOCNR and WERKS:
1. Create please the classification datasource as intended, but use
datasource 0RT_LOC_MGR_ATTR as basis datasource. It's the only
datasource of the content where LOCNR is a key field. So
0RT_LOC_MGR_ATTR is used as a dummy here, to allow transaction CTBW to
create the classification datasource. It's not necessary to extract
data with datasource 0RT_LOC_MGR_ATTR.
2. Extend please the extract structure of the created classification
datasource. Add please field WERKS using component type WERKS_D. Make
this field visible.
3. Fill field WERKS in the extractor user exit EXIT_SAPLRSAP_002. WERKS
can be read from table KNA1 by using the customer number extracted to
LOCNR to select on field KNA1-KUNNR.
4. Transaction CTBW_META on the BW system isn't able to append the
characteristics from the classification datasource to infosource
0PLANT, because the keys are different. So create please a new info
source with CTBW_META. This allows CTBW_META to create the info objects
for the characteristics used in the classification datasource.
5. Add please the characteristics used in the classification datasource
to infosource 0PLANT manually. You will find the info object names of
the characteristics by looking up the characteristic datasources which
are assigned to the classification datasource in transaction CTBW. From
these names you can derive the info object names:
1CL_A... -> C_A...
6. Disconnect the infosource which has been created with CTBW_META from
the classification datasource.
7. Connect please the classification datasource to infosource 0PLANT
Use following info object:
info object   field
0PLANT       WERKS
The info object names for the characteristics are explained in step 5.
8. Add an infopackage to infosource 0PLANT for the classification
datasource.
Now the extraction of classifications of sites should work.
Best regards,
Rolf
P.S. I saw the system messed it up and doesn't display any new and empty lines. Sorry, I hope you still can read it.

Key Field missing in transformation

Hi
I am trying to use BI7.0 transformation (1-1 mapping basically) to send data from one DSO to another DSO
Source : DSO1
Key fields : Account ,Itemid, Position number
Target: DSO2
Key fields : Account ,Itemid, Position number
However when i create transformation i don't see "Itemid" in the source side in the transformation mapping. Rest of the two key fields are present.
Please help.

Hi, Anurag.
I just posted a question to the forum, because we are implementing the same architecture, and we are wondering how deltas will work with this
architecture. Are you using deltas?
The text of my recent post is below.
We are loading from R/3 into DSO1, and then from DSO1 into DSO2. The R/3 extractor that loads DSO1 is
delta-enabled. We are not sure, however, if a delta mechanism governs the load from DSO1 into DSO2. The
DTP says its extraction mode is delta, but does that mean, if a row in DSO1 changes, it will negate the key figures
on the original row and send a new row the way R/3 does?
For example, suppose the R/3 extractor sends us Row 1.
Row 1 has a key figure with a value of $100.
Row 1 gets changed in R/3, and the new value is $125.
The R/3 delta mechanism takes care of this by negating the key figure on the appropriate row and sending us a correcting
row. For example,
the R/3 extractor will send us:
Row 1 $100
Row 1 -100
Row 1 $125
So... the net value is correct, i.e. 100 - 100 + 125 = 125.
When we load from DSO1 into DSO2, however, do you know what rows will load into DSO2? Is BW "smart" enough to do this
type of negation?
Thanks!

DSO - Key Field doubt?

Hi All,
I want to know the functionality of the Key Field in the DSO.
I know based on the Key Fields(Primary Key) data is pulled to DSO, but please explain me the below scenario
E.g
I have 3 records in the Extractor( Generic) and i am pulling data to DSO - Full load.
Material                 Qty       Date
100                       20        1-Jan-2010
100                       30        5-Jan-2010
100                       10        10-Jan-2010
In DSO i have only one Key field called 0MAT_NM (Material Number), but i have 3 records in the Extractor , shown above.
Now my Question is
On what basis data will be pulled to DSO?
Whether latest date records will be pulled to DSO or let me know correct method? because i have got material no 100
but date and Qty is different (means one time it is taking Qty - 30 and date as 1st Jan 2010, other run it is taking differnet).
Please clear my doubt.
Regards,
Nithi.

in your dso you can have one record per key. keyfigures will be in addition or overwrite option. if in "addition' the value will be the sum of all the values for a given key. in 'overwrite', you'll only keep the last record written to the dso; char are always in overwrite, so you'll keep the last record written to the dso

I went to the query designer and checked, I could not see that particular key field also in my query designer, I could only see the data fields.
Could someone please guide me in this regard???
Would definitely assign points for the solution...
