Custom Dimension - Customer Field

Dear All,
Please help in following questions:
1. Whether 'Custom Dimension' is interchangeably used for 'Customer Field' in ECC6.0 New GL?
2. If no, where are the IMG activities for custom dimension?
3. If yes, do I need to create a master record for individual item in a customer field? For eg. customer field is created for 'Vehicle No.', for each vehicle, do I need to create a master record for capturing the vehicle code (where vehicle code is defined in other system running parallel to SAP & through interface for creating an accounting document, we are taking the same into SAP)
4. Whether creation of master record for customerr field is always an IMG activity?
Your earlier reply will help me in closing certain issues faster.
Thanks & regards,
Amish.

Hi Kan
What kind of field do you need to add? Dimension or Measure?
Based on your initial investigaton, I will asume that its a dimension (SPM also has multiple custom measures per object).
I guess the confusion arises with the nomenclature (which will be cleared in the next release - they will be all named Custom Dimensions 1 - N).
0XSARC001C1 to 0XSARC001C7 and 0ASAC001C1 to 0ASAC001C8 are available for customizations. They total to 15 custom dimensions. The ones 0XSAR* are defaulted into the data model and wired up from the inbound all the way to the cube. The remainder of the eight dimensions 0ASA* are also available for custom usage but might or might not be wired into the data model out of the box. For the cases where the custom fields are not part of the data model, feel free to bring them in as part of your customizations.
What you need to be mindful of is that the way these dimensions are plugged in, as an example the field 0XSARC001C1 is set to be a "Line Item Dimension" in the 0ASA_C02 - Invoice cube.
The other mis conception, especially for people new to analytics and BW, is that these are custom "fields" for the respective objects. Thats not really the case, since they are joined "at the hip", so to speak, in the reporting layer multiprovider. The custom dimensions would need to MEAN the same across objects. For example if you set the custom dimension 0XSARC001C5 to mean Procurement Sustainability Factor in invoice, then this field has to hold its meaning of being Procurement Sustainability Factor across all of the other objects (Contracts. POs, etc...).
Hope that helps.

Rajesh

Loading Parent Keys in Customer Dimension

I have a question about how to setup my mapping for my Customer Dimension. A subset of the dimension attributes is below:
Customer_Key (Surrogate Key)
Customer_Number
Parent_Key
Bill_To_Key
My source table has the following fields:
Customer_Number
Bill_to_Customer_number
Parent_Customer_number
I am having difficulty in visualizing this because I can see where the current record may be for customer 10 and its parent is customer 20. Since I have not loaded the record for customer 20, I cannot use a lookup to get the surrogate key for customer 20 as it does not exist. So, my only thought was to load the dimension without the parent and bill_to keys and then run a post-mapping process to update the missing fields. This works, but takes an extremely long time (4 hours) as there are over 300,000 records that it has to update. Maybe my post-mapping process was just inefficient, I am not sure. What I am doing is running an update command on my dimension and looking up the customer-numbers from my staging table, then looking up the surrogate key in my dimension.
Is there a better, more efficient, way to do this?
Thanks,
Jason

I did a little more work with this and have developed at procedure in the post-mapping process that updates the necessary fields in about 3-4 seconds.
Sorry for taking up extra room in the OWB forum with a sql efficiency issue.
Thanks,
Jason

Custom Dimension sql names in version 11.1.2 HFM Data Extract

Does someone know how to reference the Custom Dimensions in Hyperion 11.1.2 in Hyperion 9.3 they were custom1_item, Custom2_item,custom3_item, and custom4_item but I am not sure what they are now called? any help would be appreciated.

I'm not clear on what you're after, but I think your question is about the item tables in HFM's database? If so, the custom dimension table is now appname_custom_item for all of the custom dimensions. Each custom is then distinguished by LDIMID field, which contains the custom dimension's number "1", "2", "3", "4". I've not examined the same for 11.1.2.2 for an application having more than four dimensions.

Custom Dimension

Dear All
At present I am using Business Area in ECC 6.0 (EHP4). The requirement is to derive Financial Statements at a Branch/Plant level. I was told that Business Area functionality is out of use and there wont be any further enhancements in the functionality of Business Area. I can create Profit Center for a combination of Legal Entity/Product/Branch. However, I will be ending up with more number of Profit Centers which will be difficult to Manage.
I came across a functionality 'Custom Dimension' wherein a Custom field can be added to capture Branch or Plant in all the Financial & Logistics documents accross the Company Code. I would like to know more about Custom Dimension and whether it is available in ECC 6.0 EHP4 version.
Thanks in Advance
Janakiraman

Hello,
is this with the Product Hyperion Financial Management?
If yes, you might close the issue here and post it in the HFM group.

Project Server 2010 - create a custom enterprise project field for persons (no text, no lookup table...)

I want to create a custom enterprise project field and would like to use instead of for example a text attribute or a look-up table a field for employees (e.g. project manager) which are coming e.g. from the Active Directory. But when creating this custom
project field I cannot see such an option. What solution do you suggest as I want to avoid that everybody uses different names and spellings for e.g. the project manager and without having to fill the lookup table with all resources of the company.
Thank you so much for your help!

Hi,
Are you using Proejct Server 2007, 2010, 2013?
In case you're working with 2010 version, here is an excellent
blog about how to insert a resource picker in a PDP (project detail page).
Hope this helps,

How to assign search help for custom cost centre field in SRM 7.0

Hi Experts!!
We are currently working in SRM 7.0.As per our business requirement, in account assignment tab we need to use a custom
cost centre field (ZCOST_CENTRE) instead of standard cost centre field.It is observed that for standard cost centre field there is a standard web-dynpro search-help assigned where it will return the F4 search help values from backend.
Can any one of you please help me how can I assign the search-help for the custom cost centre field. Is there any FM to call the backend cost centre search help for custom field or any other way how can I achieve this?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Kalyani

kalyani,
i can see your requirement in below way..
as it just reads: you need to assign the standard cost center help to a z cost center field in component /SAPSRM/WDC_UI_DO_ACC.. which actually is fetched though the component /SAPSRM/WDC_UI_BACKEND_SH
so, if you see the component controller of SAPSRM/WDC_UI_DO_ACC you will see the component
USAGE_SH_F4 /SAPSRM/WDC_UI_BACKEND_SH
USAGE_SH_F4 /SAPSRM/WDC_UI_BACKEND_SH INTERFACECONTROLLER
so you can replicate the same functionality for your z field.
but can you clarify one thing.. why are you going for this z field in place of standard field ?

Error while running Webi report that uses Custom Dimension object(SAP BW)

Hi,
I have a universe that is based on SAP BW.I have created a custom dimension object that displays the maximum date.
The object syntax is
<expression>Max(@Select(CPS Online\Calendar day))</expression>
The object parses successfully.
The object 'Calendar Day ' is a defaultobject created during universe creation from the BW query.It is defined as [0CALDAY].[LEVEL01]
I tried to create a Webi report using this object and a measure .On running the query it throws the following error:
A database error occured. The database error text is: The MDX query WITH MEMBER [Measures].[EBC10672-C0DA-4998-93,80,D3,FF,C3,E8,A2,22] AS ' Max{[0CALDAY].[LEVEL01]} ' SELECT { [Measures].[EBC10672-C0DA-4998-93,80,D3,FF,C3,E8,A2,22], [Measures].[4JCOSFOKKCUR3RMBPNROFKQQD] } ON COLUMNS , NON EMPTY [0CALDAY].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS DIMENSION PROPERTIES [0CALDAY].[20CALDAY] ON ROWS FROM [ZCCPSONL/ZCPSONLINE] failed to execute with the error Invalid MDX command with (. (WIS 10901)
I have tried every possible syntax I could think of but I keep getting this error each time.I have set the object type to Number (even though it is actually a Date), I have tried writing the MDX inside the Max instead of the @select , but nothing seems to work.Could anyone please let me know why this error is occuring?Is there anything wrong with the syntax or is there any setting in Webi needed before a custom dimension object can be used on it.

Can you see data for Custom object @ BEx level??
YES, then just try to re-create the same variable and Save the BW query.
Now do View - refresh Strusture @ Universe. And you can see Filter for the same, just Parse it, just whether it is OK or not.
OK -- then Export the Universe and create WebI reports, this will come as Prompt.
Hope it will helps you.
Thank You!!

Report needed: Customer master TAXKD field changes

We are looking to track changes made to TAXKD (tax code) in customer master.   Is there any report we could generate weekly that would detail changes made to the field.
Also, we'd like what change was made. (i.e. customer number, date, field changed from 0 to 2)
Thanks,
Michelle

Hi Michelle,,
Those changes will be recorded in the CDHDR and CDPOS tables with your field name based on the dates..
and also with the Old value and the New value
from the CDPOS
pass
OBJECTCLAS = 'DEBI'.
OBJECTID      = Your document number "optional
TABNAME    = 'KNV1.
FNAME       =   'TAXKD'.
if you pass these thins you will get the in the fileds VALUE_NEW and VALUE_OLD
hope these informatino useful to you.
Thanks

Using Customized group name fields in Live Office

Hello everybody,
I've created a Crystal Reports based on a BEx Query and including a costcenter hierarchy. Now I want to add this report in Excel sheet via Live Office. I did this according to the official HowTos provided by Ingo Hilgefort. Now I've following issue. When I choose the data for the selected fields in Live Office, I could manage to insert the Live Office object into my report but the display of the cost center hierarchy nodes doesn't comply with the display in Crystal Reports. There I've defined a group with a customized group name field (costcenter.medium description) Live Office seems to use only the costcenter node ID.

Instead of using FM 'TR_REQUEST_CHOICE', you can have direct database select on table E070 and E071.
In E070, the field TRFUNCTION determine the customizing and workbench request.

W->     Customizing Request

Roll up hierarchie in custom dimension

Hello,
I'm trying to add the cost of materials so the node member could collect the total cost of the group.
I have a dimension P_Material where materials are organized in groups by hierarchie:
ID         Descr                              PARENTH1
matA    Materials class A
0001     xudud                             matA
0002     yszysy                           matA
Every material has a cost, represented by a member in a custom dimension P_Ratio.
The problem is, once I have the cost of every material in the group, I don't get the subtotal cost rolled up.
I made a BEX query and I got the subtotals but with a BPC report it seems to have no data.
Could you please help me with this issue? give me some ideas?
Thank you!

Hi Ethan,
My EvDRE structure is :
                                                                 P_RATIO
P_PRODUCTION     P_MATERIAL
And the member of P_RATIO is totcost.
Thanks for your time!
