Data column (for posting period) converted to COMPARISON COLUMN

Hi all,
I use 'posting period'(derived from fiscal period/year) in the data column and assigned CHAR-posting period to a variable (the value is 1.2.3....12) in the planning level.
When I execute my layout, I got an error message: Data column 2 will be converted into a comparison column.
Diagnosis:
You have entered variable ZFIU004 in data column 2 and provided it with an offset. This results in values arising for variable ZFIU004, which are no longer within the selection, which was defined for the variable.
Can someone please advise me?

Hi,
What is the selection maintained for posting period on the level.
thanks

SSRS 2008 Column Chart with Calculated Series (moving average) "formula error - there are not enough data points for the period" error

I have a simple column chart grouping on 1 value on the category axis. For simplicity's sake, we are plotting $ amounts grouping by Month on the category axis. I right click on the data series and choose "Add calculated series...". I choose moving average. I want to move the average over at least 2 periods.
When I run the report, I get the error "Formula error - there are not enough data points for the period". The way the report is, I never have a guaranteed number of categories (there could be one or there could be 5). When there is 2 or more, the chart renders fine, however, when there is only 1 value, instead of suppressing the moving average line, I get that error and the chart shows nothing.
I don't think this is entirely acceptable for our end users. At a minimum, I would think the moving average line would be suppressed instead of hiding the entire chart. Does anyone know of any workarounds or do I have to enter another ms. connect bug/design consideration.
Thank you,
Dan

I was having the same error while trying to plot a moving average across 7 days. The work around I found was rather simple.
If you right click your report in the solution explorer and select "View Code" it will give you the underlying XML of the report. Find the entry for the value of your calculated series and enter a formula to dynamically create your periods.
<ChartFormulaParameter Name="Period">
<Value>=IIf(Count(Fields!Calls.Value) >= 7 ,7, (Count(Fields!Calls.Value)))</Value>
</ChartFormulaParameter>
What I'm doing here is getting the row count of records returned in the chart. If the returned rows are greater than or equal to 7 (The amount of days I want the average) it will set the points to 7. If not, it will set the number to the amount of returned rows. So far this has worked great. I'm probably going to add more code to handle no records returned although in my case that shouldn't happen but, you never know.
A side note:
If you open the calculated series properties in the designer, you will notice the number of periods is set to "0". If you change this it will overwrite your custom formula in the XML.

Details on data types for posting data to DB2 on AS400 from XI

Hi
We have a scenario in which we post data from XI (3.0, SP23 ) to DB2 on AS400 and we are using jdbc adapters ( jdbc drivers from IBM deployed on XI J2EE server as per SAP's instructions )
On AS400-DB2, there are two files F1 and F2 that we have to update in a particular library L1 - on a server S1. Each of the two files has a single field with the same name as that of the file.
I have the following questions :
1. How do we construct/specify the data type in order to convert XML from XI to the sql that DB2 needs - I do understand there is a standard data type structure used to convert XML to sql calls when we use JDBC receiver adapter type communication channel. Do we use the same for posting XML data from XI to DB2 too ?
2. What is the url for the jdbc driver - to connect to DB2 on AS400 ?
Please share experiences of XI -- > posting to DB2 using JDBC.

Used standard xml -->SQL constructs

Due Date in new posting period

Hi All,
Posting date range in new financial period (new posting period) is one in which my JEs should posted and they will be having impact in financial system. Which is logical.
What is the need of Due Date? Is it useful in any practical situation?
B Ravi Shankar

Ravi,
You do not have to specifically define a range? When you create a posting period SAP automatically create the range from first day of Fiscal year to last day of Fiscal year.
Let me explain with an example.
Let us consider 01/01/2007 to 31/12/2007 as the fiscal year
For some of the document that you create during the last few months, you may require to enter a Due date later than the Fiscal year (going into next fiscal year)
example: Invoice created on 15/12/2007 with Net 30 terms will need a Due date of 14/01/2008 but since you Due date range ends on 12/31/2007 you will not be able to Add this document.
To overcome this you will have to click on the yellow arrow next to the Period and change the Due Date to to accomodate the 14/01/2008 due date.
Hope it helped

AFAB dynamic variant creation for Posting period.

HI,
Business Requirement :
Business want to run AFAB transaction code every month automatically with schedule job.
system should pick present month period in posting period field.
i checked in variant creation against posting period there is no dynamic " D " in selection variable column.
how can i fix this.

Hi Jani,
Check with abaper if TVARV table can Help you in this case, or create a z program from AFAB. And add date field to it, and schedule job based on that,
I think TVARV table will be a better approach.
Another point to consider here would be that dep should be run once business is ready to do so, and has its own hick ups in business if corrections are required to be made after executing AFAB by job

BICA import data only for specific period

Hello,
when using BI connector (BICA) and importing data, is it possible to set for which period (month) to import data?
Because now I see that it deletes all the data and imports for all months, which I think is not performance wise.
Thanks.
Regards,
Nerijus.

Also, why connection between PAS and BW is kept, even after both schema and data import into PAS?
If I break connection, I can see from logs that DAT171:Unable to do drillthrough operation is being spammed due to connection failure, so it seems it checks for connection frequently.
Why is it needed when I have both schema and data imported?

Planned depreciation not showing for posting period

hi,
I have query for planned depreciation.
my company code is having following setting.
1. check "dep to the day" is there.
2. in Fiscal year Variant for the period 7 & 8 the setting is as below.
month day period
8 1 7
8 29 8
so the planned depreciation is not showing in period 8, in period 7 it is showing double (for period 7 & 8). this is the same for posted depreciation also.
please suggest if any setting available for the same.
Thanks,

Why do you have your both periods 7 & 8 setting in the same month 8 ??
Every period and month should be exclusive and look something like this > http://www.saptechies.com/userfiles/Define-Business-Area-5.jpg
Please post your query properly if you don't get this explanation.

Profit Center-wise authorization for posting period

Hi
I have two profit centers - 1000 and 2000 under company code A001. Now management requires that posting in different must be restricted separately. For ex: Profit center 1000 needs more time for closing. Hence Profit Center 2000 must be closed in OB52 even though Profit center 1000 is opened.
Posting period variant assigned to company code: A001 is 1100.
Now in OB52, i gave
Variant:1100
Account type: +
GL Accounts: 1000000 (from account) 99999999 (to account)
From period 1/2011 to 2/2011
Authorization group: 1000
But how to link (add / remove) user id to that authorization group. Please help

Hello,
I'm using new GL and i've activated the Profit Center cenarios. However, the profit centers filled at the GL items aren't transferred for the FAGLFLEXA / FAGLFLEXT tables.
Do you know why isn't the FAGLFLEXA / FAGLFLEXT filled?
Additionally i'm using the transaction F.5D and 1KEK to transfer information at the GL items for the GLPCA / GLPCT tables. Why aren't this information transferred online?
Best regards,

...and results in yield signs indicating an error:
Hi Wayne,
Yield signs must be different in Texas. Here (and in much of the rest of the world) they're white with a red border, and installed with an apex pointing down:
Some still include the word "Yield" (or in Quebec, "Cedez"in black letters.
Maybe you're thinking of the "Warning triangle", which is similar, but installed base down, and often including a symbol in the white space:
These are more common in Europe, with the exception of the portable version, which I've seen used at road construction sites or as 'flares' to warn of a disabled vehicle on the road.
Or maybe you were thinking of this
(Most of these 'slow moving vehicle' triangles have an orange center. This one looked a bit more 'Texas,' though.)
