Customer Exit variable on Compound Characteristic

In a data target I have 3 similar characteristics Brand1 Brand2 Brand3.
I want to run a query that returns all records with following condition:
A/#/#
#/A/#
#/#/A
meaning all occurences of A in either one of the three characteristics.
I'm trying a solution with Brand2 & Brand3 being compound to Brand1.
I have a user input variable on e.g. Brand2 where the user can select value A.
In the customer exit I'm trying to convert the selected A value from Brand2 to the above 3 combinations as input for a variable on the compound Brand1 characteristic.
I don't see how to input the above three combinations as possible values for Brand3.
Should I enter these combinations in the LOW of e_t_range in the exit?
How to separate the 3 parts of the compound?
Any Ideas?
Regards,
Eric

Hi,
Compounding may not comply with data model. I mean don't do it for merely satisfying your reporting requirements as it's a modelling prospect, not reporting.
If your requirement is to have records which have at least one 'A' in any of the 3 chars then work with a flag which is a virtual characteristics. Have an exit/BADI to populate that.

  • Customer Exit Variable in cell definition in BEx

    Hi,
    I have defined a query with a Structure in Row and Key Figures in column.
    The result of query should look like this:
    Fiscal/Year Period | Quantity per month | Quantity cumulative
    011.2010 (Variable Offset Value -3) | 5 | 5
    012.2010 (Variable Offset Value -2) | 6 | 11
    001.2011 (Variable Offset Value -1) | 7 | 7
    002.2011 (Variable Single Value, Manual Input) | 8 | 15
    "Quantity cumulative" is defined as follows:
    Quantity cumulative (002.2011) = Quantity 001.2011 + Quantity 002.2011
    Quantity cumulative (001.2011) = Quantity 001.2011
    Quantity cumulative (012.2010) = Quantity 011.2010 + Quantity 012.2010
    Quantity cumulative (011.2010) = Quantity 011.2010
    "Fiscal/Year Period" and "Quantity per month" are OK. But I have problem to define the key figrue "Quantity cumulative".
    I have defined a Customer Exit Variable on Reference Characteristic "Fiscal/Year Period". Moreover I have also defined cell definition to define each individual cell for key figrue "Quantity cumulative" restricted by Customer Exit Variable.
    The Quantity cumulative (002.2011) and Quantity cumulative (001.2011) are calculated correct. But it doesn't work for 012.2010 and 011.2010 (because of previous year).
    I would be helpful if you can give some hints.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    try to use this trick with an IF condition in you customer exit. Calling 'var1' the manual input of:
    data: month_difference TYPE N.
    month_difference = 'var1'+4(3) - 4.
    IF month_difference >= 0.
    DO the classic code which you have already used.
    ELSE month_difference < 0.
    DO the replace concatenating manually 'var1'(4) and the single month.
    ENDIF.
    Hope it helps.
    Best regards.

    Hi,
    Create a formula "Cumulative Quantity" and add only "Quantity per Month" in the formula. Go to formula properties, Calculations tab, check the Cumulated option.
    This works for different years as well.

  • Error with a customer exit variable

    I have a customer exit variable in a characteristic (0fiscyear). Also I have a manual input variable on the characteristic 0fiscper. The customer exit collects the four digits of the year that the user introduces a screen for the characteristic 0fiscper. Collect the value correctly and in the development system does not give error, but in the production system said that "the value 2008 (for example) is not valid for 0fiscyear characteristic". The two systems are at the same level of patches and queries are identical. Any idea why this error??
    Thanks and regards

    No value at all behind 0fiscyear ?

  • How to insert a code for a function module into a Customer Exit Variable?

    I have two Key Figures viz., Net Prchs Rtl, and Net Prchs Unt. Both these Key figures have This Week (TW) and Last Week (LW). There is a variable for This week but there is no variable defined for Last week.
    I need to get data in the column LW (Last Week) for both the key figures.
    In function module EXIT_SAPLRRS0_001 one of the functions I have is:
    Get the previous Fiscal Week
              CALL FUNCTION 'DATE_TO_PERIOD_CONVERT'
    I need to create a new variable to get values in the Last week column for different key figures and use function “'DATE_TO_PERIOD_CONVERT'” in that variable.
    Can anyone please explain me the steps as to how to use a function module in a variable so that when the variable is used in a key figure it shows the output.
    In other words what I want to know is after creating a Customer exit variable of type Characteristic value how do I refer the above mentioned function moduel and insert the code for the function module into the Customer exit variable that I created.
    Thank you.
    TR.

    Hi Wond,
    Thanks a lot for your reply. I understand what you mean but I have never done this before so can you please explain it in a detailed manner. I have the following code:

  • 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.

    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

  • Using Formula Variable in Customer Exit variable

    Hi,
    I want to assign valuees of 2 Formula Variables to one cstomer exit variable based on some Characteristic.
    Example. Formula variables are Early and Late. If Early = 3 and Late = 4 , I want to pass value to the Customer Exit variable as Low = 3 and High = 4.
    The problem is in I_T_VAR_RANGE there is no value for formula variable in LOW field.
    Other variables based on Characteristics have values in this field.
    What can I do in this case?
    Regards
    SSS

    SSS,
    You can restrict your characteristic with two variables in the value range options of restricting.
    One can be used as low and the other can be high.
    Hope that helps.

  • Check user entry in Customer Exit Variable in i_step2

    Hi Folks,
    at the moment I'm facing a challenging problem. In an BW Query i have a Customer Exit defined as "not ready for Input" to catch the Variable in I_Step = 2 and fill by a certain algorithm. When i change the CE Variable to "Inputready", the user can enter values, but i have no chance to react on these values as i_step = 2 will not b reached during execution- And this behaviour is correct. BUT is there any chance to Check user entries in an Customer Exit variable and change this somehow in des code?
    Thanks for all replies.
    BR,
    Maik

    Hi there,
    It is possibel depending on what you wish to accomplish.
    You can create two variables for the same characteristic.
    The first is an input ready variable for the user to enter the data and the second is a not input ready variable CE where you can in step 2 process the data entered from the variable ready for input.
    You can than fill the CE variable with any data, but you will have the variable restricted by the two variables (the ready for input and the CE).
    But for validating you could throw an error message based on the variable input ready.

  • Looking for an ABAP-code for the customer-Exit Variable

    Hello,
    I have defined a Variable (Interval) which should be processed through Customer-Exit on characteristic Supplier-Date (date format). This Customer-Exit Variable is called ZDATE.
    We have another time characteristic Fiscal year / period (0FISCPER) which has single mandatory input variable for ex.  003.2011. This input variable is called ZFISCPER.
    Now I have to write an ABAP-Code where the customer exit variable ZDATE is derived (fiscal last year to last period) from input variable ZFISCPER in INCLUDE ZXRSRU01.
    Means when the input variable (ZFISCPER) is 003.2011 then the customer exit variable ZDATE should be calculated in INCLUDE ZXRSRU01 as 01.01.2010 u2013 28.02.2011 (fiscal last year to last period).
    Since I am quite new in ABAP, I will be grateful if you could write me sample ABAP for this.
    Many thanks.

    Hi,
    should be something like:
    DATA: l_s_range TYPE rsr_s_rangesid,
    input LIKE sy-datum.
    When 'ZDATE'
    CONCATENATE '0101' 0FISCPER+3(4)-1 into l_s_range-low. "You get 01012010
    CONCATENATE '01' Fiscper+1(6) into input.                            "You get 01032011

  • Problem with customer exit variable that is input ready as well

    Hello all,
    I'm facing an issue with a customer exit variable that again has been defined as input ready. I'm not sure why it is working incorrectly and I#m wondering if this is a bug or if I do s.th. stupid.
    The problem is that in the exit program ZXRSRU01 this varibale does not go into the program code I have prepared for this variable. I have added entry points for all three i_step values 1,2,3, but the code will never be touched and in debugging I can see that it simply pypasses the code for this variable.
    I have tried to enter a value or to leave it blank, no difference.
    When I run another test by just using a customer exit variable w/o input ready capability, then I have no issue, the exit does exactly what I have coded.
    Does this mean, that a customer exit variable along with input readiness dows not work ?????
    You may ask why I need this variable. Well, my intention is to use the input value of this variable A to derive other values for a complete different variable B. Afterwards I want to erase the input given into variable A to have it blank.
    Any comments are appreciated
    Thanks

    Hi Heiko,
    I assume A & B variables are defined on different Characteristics. If you wish to derive B based on A, you can create the Query Characteristic Restriction on B & have a dummy RKF restricted on A whose processing is by Manual Input; where processing of B is by Customer Exit. In istep 2 you can check for B, read A & derive B. There would not be a need to blank out A since the Query would not be restricted on A - you can hide the dummy RKF from showing in the output. Just a thought.

  • Text Variable replace with Customer Exit Variable

    Dear Experts,
    I created a text variable based on replacementh path (instead of customer exit). The reference characteristic is same that as my customer exit Variable and replace it by Key.
    I want to replace it with already Existing Customer Exit Variable but it is not displaying in the List Box even though existing variable option is mandatory.
    Can any one Suggest me the answer for this.
    Regards

    I do not think you can select Customer Exit variable, if you see the type is selected to Char Value Variables and it is not editable.
    It would be suggested to go for Customer Exit procesing type for your text variable.

  • Change customer exit variable in selections over Dropdownbox

    Hello Experts,

  • Query - Replacement Path for a Customer Exit Variable

    Hi
    New to the field and the board.  Any and All help is greatly appreciated.
    I have created a query which runs based on a date selection. The query have few customer exit variables whose values are set in ABAP. All Key Figures in the query are brought depending on the date ranges that each of the CE returns. Ex - one column is sales for first 10 days, 2nd for second 10 days, 3rd for first quarter, 4th for 2nd quarter and such.  There are about 20 - 25 columns with KF in the query and all are Customer Exit date driven.
    The challenge:- Each column heading should have the name of the month. I tried using Replacement Path. But it works when the selection is based on a constant value but not on value based on variable which is a customer exit. Ex - If I say restrict Cal/Month for July 2013, the replacement path for the Col Heading works fine. But if I say restrict Cal/Month for "ZVAR_SecondQtr_First_Month" the replacement path doesn't work.
    Help Please
    Thanks
    Vidya

    In the text variable that you are using , i guess you have a replacement path. In this instead of using your characteristic for specifying how the value has to replace, use the variable option and give the variable name there

  • BW Master Data for Customer Exit Variable Reference

    Good day Experts,
    I have several queries that I would like to remove the hard coding of values on to prevent yearly maintenance. In these queries there are two conditions each condition is on different key figures that is amount by year.  The query is only to report on data that for the two amounts (separated by year) is greater than the specified values. I want to change the condition so the value is no longer hard coded so the query will role automatically as the time period changes. The year amount values that the condition will need to reference are not currently stored in our BW system. I would like to create master data that is maintained directly in the BW system for the amounts that a variable for the condition in the query can then access.
    I know it can be set up as master data and then referenced through a customer exit variable but when I set up the master data if I do the Amount as a key figure I cannot maintain the key figure value for the master data manually in BW, if I set the Amount up as a numeric characteristic then I canu2019t directly use a decimal. Am I missing something in the key figure setup then referencing the key figure as an attribute of the year value or do I need to do it as a characteristic and use a conversion routine or something for data manipulation?
    Can someone please give me some guidance to what the best way to do this is?
    The data necessary master data for storage in BW is the YEAR and a single dollar value:
    For Example:     
    Year          Amount
    2009           101.50
    2008          207.80
    2007          807.40

    I figured out that I can use an amount in the master data and maintain the amount manually as long as I use the amount with a currency instead of setting the currency in the key figure.
