Customer exit variable in Planning filter - IP

Hi,
I am new to business planning. I am trying to use a customer exit variable in filter, while performing check system generates message "RFC failue error". the logic is written to get the current year. But I am not able to use this variable? Can you please answer me this question... Can I use Customer exit variables in planning modeler filters or planning functions ?

Hi there,
Yes you can, and it is used very often in both.
Probably your variable is wrongly defined.
What you can do is create a query over that aggregation level, and insert the planning filter in there. Put some key figure on the query and put a breakpoint on your variable customer exit code. Execute the query and debug the variable code to check the error.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Diogo.

Customer Exit variable and Filter routine in DTP does not works?

Hello Experts,
Does anyone know what might be the possible reason - A customer exit variable working fine on the OLAP side does not work in a DTP??
I have also tried to use the Filter routine, which does not give me the right results..I am trying to fetch a Fiscalyear period maintained in an infoObject as follows in my Filter routine..
ata: sel_period like /BIC/PZPARAM-/BIC/ZPARAMVAL.
DATA: zperiod type /BI0/OIFISCPER.
          SELECT SINGLE /BIC/ZPARAMVAL INTO sel_period
          FROM /BIC/PZPARAM
          WHERE /BIC/ZPARAM = 'ZPCA'
          AND objvers = 'A'.
          zperiod = sel_period.
data: l_idx like sy-tabix.
          read table l_t_range with key
               fieldname = 'FISCPER'.
          l_idx = sy-tabix.
          l_t_range-iobjnm = '0FISCPER'.
          l_t_range-fieldname = 'FISCPER'.
          l_t_range-sign = 'I'.
          l_t_range-option = 'EQ'.
          l_t_range-low = zperiod.
          if l_idx <> 0.
            modify l_t_range index l_idx.
          else.
            append l_t_range.
          endif.
          p_subrc = 0.
Please let me know if I am making any mistakes above..
Kind Regards,
Kadriks

Hi
1. CLEAR l_t_range-high. is missing in your code befor assigning values to l_t_range.
2. use simple append l_t_range after the l_t_range asisgnments. remove below code :
if l_idx 0.
modify l_t_range index l_idx.
else.
append l_t_range.
endif.
p_subrc = 0.
3. I dont think you need to assign infoobject.
4. Clear sel_period and zperiod is also missing
Hence your code should be :
data: l_idx like sy-tabix.
read table l_t_range with key
fieldname = 'FISCPER'.
CLEAR l_t_range-high.
l_idx = sy-tabix.
l_t_range-fieldname = 'FISCPER'.
l_t_range-sign = 'I'.
l_t_range-option = 'EQ'.
l_t_range-low = zperiod.
append l_t_range .

Current filter values in Customer Exit variables

Hi!
I have a pretty hard question here that I would be impressed if someone has an answer to:
The scenario is:
I have a customer exit variable that should de dependent on the current filter setting in the query. Is it possible from within the customer exit code get information about the current filter(s)?
I know that I can access other variables values, but in this case I would like to know which values that has been filtered on within BEx (after the popup screen).
Regards
Marty

You asked for:
1. In the field I_S_RKB1D-COMPUID (or GENUNIID I'm not quite sure) you get the internal query name.
2. Look in RSZELTXREF with SELTUID = I_S_RKB1D-COMPUID.
3. The filter values have LATYP = FIX (if they are in the filter box).
4. Search table RSZRANGE with ELTUID = RSZELTXREF-TELTUID.
5. Don't wonder if this doesn't work anymore after an upgrade
Best regards

Customer Exit Variable to fetch the data from the cube..

Hello Gurus,
I am having a requirement to select the latest changed record from the cube while executing the query. where we are having the Calday as the date with a variable .
I suggested my client we can filter it at the DSO leve or Data loading level but my client dont want to distrurb the existing design so he want to perfrom the changes at the Query level only.
For Example we are having below records in the cube.
PO             Material     Calday       Qty         Price
101            ABC          1/12           100         10
101            ABC          2/12            100         10
101            ABC          3/12            100         11
I am having Calday in the selection screen as the variable.
Now from the above example i need to show the record which has been changed on 3/12.
For this i am planning to write the customer exit variable on the calday , when the user enter the range of Calday then i will fetch the whole records which fall in between the range and i will sort each PO with respect to the date and i will pick those which are the latest records.
My Concerns:
!. Kindly let me know if it is possible and what are the other things that i need to consider.
2. Did it will impact the performance.
Waiting for your quick replies
Thanks & Regards
KK

Hi Mate,
Sorry for late reply.
By d way in your word.
initially when the user enter the date range as the vairable input. suppose 1/12 to 31/12 then i will pick all those records which fall in this range.
suppose the records are
PO Date
P1 01/12
P1 02/12
P2 02/12
P2 03/12
P3 03/12
P3 04/12
In the customer exit variable Now for each PO i will sort the date in ascending order and i will pick the last record to display it in the Report.
The ouput will be
PO Date
P1 02/12
P2 03/12
P3 04/12
Now hope you are aware about exit variable concept.
so what value will pass in the calday filter.
here after sorting on each PO , you will get 3 different dates, 02/12 for P1
03/12 for P2
and 04/12 for P3
Now if you are aware about exit variable concept, then you will pass this three date to CALDAY(I_t_VAR_Range-low = ...)
but how query will understand that for P1 calday filter value is 02/12, for P2 calday filter value is 03/12.... and so on...
actually i have also experienced this kind of issue 1-2 years before, i have tried same thing at that time without thinking and stuck with this problem..
By d way you can also learn from your mistake.. so just try ur logic and then you will understand what is the problem?
By d way this will not work, parallel you can work on other solution.

Customer exit variable to get weekly report

Hi All,
I have a requirement as following. there are 2 user selection variables.
Selection variables are v1: start date: Period Range (d1-d2)
V2: Period : Values should be 1month, 3 months, 6months (these values should be populated from Customer exit variable itself)
The report layout shoud show:
Actual sales by week (for period selected in v1)
Plan sales by week (for period value selected in v2)
Can you please reply with the abap?
Quick replies are much apprciated.
Thanks
Suman

Hello,
You can try with the following way:
1) Create a new infoobject with master data tick on and load it via flat file with the needed values like 1 month, 2 months etc.
2) Now include this infoobject in the MPRO along with the other infoprovider. If not using MPRO please create and use one.
3) IN the MPRO include and assign this infobject in one of the dimension.
4) Now in the query include this infoobject in the filter and create an user entry variable and in its default value include #
5) Now include calmonth in the query and create a variable of type user exit not ready for input and include iit for calmonth.
6) Now create a user exit for variable on calmonth at i_step = 2.
7) The logic can be simply reading the value from the i_t_var_range table for variable on the new infobject and based on the selection write routine to populate the months needed.
8) Here note that while writing routine please make sure you read i_t_var_range for all values NE #.
9) The only disadvantage is that we need to always include # entry along with other entries.
Hope it helps!!

Default value of BeX customer Exit variable not Displayed in WeBI??

Hello Experts,
We are stuck with a problem where WeBI report is created on top of BeX query and we are not able to see the default value of Bex Customer exit variable in WeBI run. Here is the complete scenario:
1. One restricted KF is created in BeX, restricted with Customer exit variable on net Due date. And this variable is mandatory, ready for input, and Default value in calculated is user exit as current Week's Monday.
2. So, by default KF data should be restricted to Monday of current week, if user does not change this value.
3. Now, WeBI report is created on top of this Bex query, and all is working fine, i.e. we are getting variable as Prompt in WeBI, but Default value is not shown while Running the Webi Report.
So, need your inputs on the same, if default values from BeX in WeBI is supported or not? If yes, why this is happening, and how to resolve it?
Please notice, the restrcition is in KF only, it is not a separate restrcition on Net Due date in Filter area or in Defualt area of BeX
and we are on SAP BW 7.1 and BOXI 3.1 SP4.

Vipul

Hi,
See 1285993 - Support of Customer Exit Variables from BEx query into WebIntelligence via OLAP universe
WebI will prompt when executed, but the default values calculated by the user exit - do not appear.
Note: If the BEx variable has property 'ready for input' set / enabled, then its WebI prompt shows ok, but no default value appears.
Cause
This behaviour expected 'by design' (in the context of the product's current limitations) as explained in the online guide below:
Please refer to Chapter 7, page 44, document link here: http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir3/en/xi3_sap_olap_universes_en.pdf
Characteristic variable > processing type > Customer Exit is "Supported, without user entry"
--> This should be understood as meaning "User will not be shown a prompt"

Customer Exit variable of Query not working in View

Hi,
I have a customer exit variable in my query to calculate the last 6 month period on Calendar month. I have used 0CMONTH for the same and then using offset of 6 on its value range to get it.
Now, I have many views based on this query, which should ideally be having the same filter condition for the calendar month, but it is not happening. Although, it is working fine for the query! The views do not seem to be catching the selection correct.

Hi there,
As far as I Know, yes they exist. The only difference here, is that you build a query with a selection screen, and you execute the query with some selection parameters, and therefore all customer exit variables, offsets, etc, will be read and changed at the runtime execution of the query, and you can rearrange your query visualization drilling down free char., making filters, etc. and storing that visualization in a view.
If you save your view and execute it afterwards, you'll get the same selection parameters to input, the same offsets, etc, that you have with the query, but with a visualization stored by you.
So that should have been working.
Diogo.

Customer Exit Variable not working in BO-Webi Report

Hi All,
I have created a universe based on Bex Query.
Bex query consists of a customer exit variable on Calendar year/month where in it will populate current calendar year month by default while executing the query. It works fine while executing in SAP BI Bex Analyser.
I have created a universe based on the query. For Calender year/Month i got L00, L01, LOV values in universe.
Based on the universe I have created a Webi report. I did not specify calendar year/month as query filters. While directly executing the Webi report, I get the calendar year/month variable screen. But the value for it not populated based on customer Exit code written in BI.
What has to be done to get the customer exit values in variable screen.
Thanks for your understanding.
-- Selva

Since you have customer exit variable in your bex query, it will be like a global filter in your universe.
Execute the webi report and check whether you are getting only current month data.

Customer exit variable - missing values

Hello experts,
Has anyone ever encountered this problem?
We have a customer exit variable, based on 0VENDOR. In the customer exit we simply fill in a variable with the values in this master data table. By debugging we can see how the e_t_range structure gets filled in correctly with all the values in the master data, for example 2,300 values, the same values we expect to see in the report but we don't know why at some point after our code in the customer exit and in the standard code, our variable contains less values and only an incorrect number of values gets displayed in the final report.
Any ideas on this would be very much appreciated.
Many thanks in advance,
Inma

Hi,
Are you sure you're losing some values?
Remember that if no values exist for a master data value on the InfoCube, no line will be shown, so you could see less than 2300 lines.
You could probably try to show filter values on the query and check if they match with your e_t_range.
Regards,
David.

How to change a customer exit variable in columns

Hallo Experts,
i have a query with two columns. In the first column is a customer exit variable, who get filled with the actual calyear. In the second column is the same variable with an offset -1.
When i execute the query, in the first column i can see the year 2007 and in the second column i can see 2006. That´s ok.
Now i want to change the year (dynamically) in a filter 2007 in 2005. The result should be in the first column 2005 and in the second column 2004.
What can i do?

Hi Jens,
As I understand the scenario, you have two RKF or selections in column 1 and 2, one is restricted with variable ZYear, the other with the same variable, offset - 1 and variable ZYear provides current year.
I think there is no way to change years dynamically in a filter, but you could solve the issue by refreshing the query and overwrite default value provided by customer exit.
To achieve this, please change variable and check 'Ready for input' in change dialog..
If this shouldn't work, please let me know details a variable definition and customer exit.
Have a nice w/e
Joe

Customer Exit Variable CP Option

Hi,
we ha ve created a customer exit variable ZVAR_CP (Detail Select Option, Optional) on Characteristic defined as a char (6)
The code to fill this variable is:
WHEN 'ZVAR_CP'.
        l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
        l_s_range-opt = 'CP'.
        l_s_range-low = 'F*'.
        APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
      ENDIF.
Executing the query with this variable we obtain this message: CP in variable 'ZVAR_CP' is not supported; characteristic is numeric, but in the system the characteristic related to the variable IS NOT NUMERIC.
Any idea? We need to filter all master data value that begin with F. Why CP option give error?
Thanks,
Veronica

Hi,
I think your requirement is something to populate all values that start with 'F' into the variable selection.
In this case you will have to get your values into an internal table and then do something like below:
when 'ZVAR_CP'.
if i_step = 1.
*      populate the table IT_TABLE with your values
*      you can use a select statement with condition
*      (where field like 'F%') to get values equivalent to 'F*'
   Loop at IT_TABLE into WA_TABLE.
        l_s_range-SIGN = 'I'.
     l_s_range-OPT = 'EQ'.
        l_s_range-LOW = WA_TABLE-field.
     append l_s_range to e_t_range.
   Endloop.
endif.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Joe

Sequence of Customer exit variables executed by a Query?

Hi All,
Can some one please answer my query!
We have 2 queries
1. First query speaks about sales Actual vs Planned
and in this query we have the KF restricted by time period(Customer exit var) & 0INFOPROV(Customer exit var).
2.Second speaks about Profits for Actuals Vs Planned
and in this query also we have the KF restricted by time period(Customer exit var) & 0INFOPROV(Customer exit var).
when we execute query 1(In Debug mode in CMOD under the Processing step 2 I can find that the CASE I_VARNAM catches first the Time period and then for 0INFOPROV but when I run query 2 exactly the vice versa happens i.e the varname first catches for 0INFOPROV n then for Time period(due to which we have an incorrect result). So I just want to know how is the sequence of this customer exit variables defined/cached in CMOD under Processing step 2 maintained.
How can I change the 2nd query to fetch first the Time Period n then 0INFOPROV
Regards

Hi Udo,
This is meant for the sequence of the input variables in the d selection screen, but I'd like to know the sequence of customer exit variables captured in CMOD and how can we change this.

Display Error Message in BW Report based on Customer Exit Variable

Hi
I need to display an error message in the BW report based on the value of a customer exit variable - i was able to do this successfully in BW3.5 using the below code.
WHEN 'ZUPN'. "Here ZUPN is the customer exit variable
    IF i_step = 1.
      <check for condition -- if successful, variable flag = 1, else variable flag = 0>
      IF flag = 0.
        MESSAGE e157(00). "Error Message
      ENDIF.
    ENDIF.
I have upgraded my system to BI 7.0 now. Whenever the variable check is not successful, it displays a blank screen instead of the error message in the report. Please advice if we need to change the code and how ??

Bhanu,
Thanks for u r reply.This warning message appears every time i execute the report through portal.
Any idea ?

Customer exit variable - internal table in BEX

Hi,
i am running a report and using variables in it.
The report runs over a info cube. There are few challenges in it.
One of the variable is posting date, and when user enters posting date i need to negate it with current system date.
If the negated value is greater than 28 then i need to exclude documnet type 'YG' and display the query, else i need to include the dcumnet type 'YG' and document type ' '. The above logic can be well implemented via a customer exit variable(for posting date) using an internal table. We have internal tables like C_T_DATA which is used in data source enhancement, which help us to implement our own desired logic.
Do we have such kind of internal tables, based on which the report output (result set) is derived?
i know that we have l_t_range and e_t_range, but dont know their usage, some one can explain in detail about them?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Selva & Lakshmin,
The code given by Selva is almost correct . If my understanding is clear , you also wanted to include document type ' ' when the negated value is less than 28 .
Modification in Selvas Code :
Variable 'V_DOCTYP' must be of type Multiple Single Values.
DATA : V_DATE LIKE SY-DATUM.
DATA : V_DAYS TYPE I.
if i_step = 2.
when 'V_DOCTYP'.
READ TABLE i_t_var_range INTO loc_var_range WITH KEY vnam = 'ZV_PDATE''.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
V_DATE = loc_var_range-low.
ENDIF.
V_DAYS = SY-DATUM - V_DATE.
IF V_DAYS > 28.
l_s_range-low = 'YG'
l_s_range-sign = 'E'.
l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
ELSE.
l_s_range-low = 'YG'
l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
clear l_s_range.
l_s_range-low = ' '.
l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.
Hope the above reply was helpful.
Kind Regards,

Customer Exit Variable and Condition in a Query (Sequence of Execution)

Hi,
For a query i defined a Customer exit variable and a condition....
Which will first execute...wether it is a Variable and then Condition or vise versa
Is there any way we can control sequence of execution
My requirment is first to execute the condition and the variable how can i control this
Thanks

Hi
In your customer exit you will be having a field by name I_STEP which will help you to handle the time of execution of the variable.
Assign points if helpful
