Decimal places for formula variable

Hello,
I have created a formula variable of type manual entry and type number. I'm multiplying it to an amount. The problem is that the user is unable to enter a decimal place value.
eg:
cannot enter 0.5 or 0.05. the query regards it as 5 (converts 0.5 or 0.05 to 5)
when i enter 5.1, it converts it to 51
when i enter 51.11, it converts it to 5.111
when i enter 51.111, it keeps it the same and does not change it.
Is there a setting that i need to change in the query or the fomula variable? I need the variable to accept decimal values with out changing the decimal places.
Regards,
Sameer

This was an issue with the number format setting for the user.
His setting was 1.000.000,00 and he was trying to enter it in this format: 1,000,000.00
Hence I noticed the fictional change in decinal places.
Should have caught it sooner.
Regards,
Sameer

Decimal places in formula variable

Hi all,
I have a formula variable, for an integer (num of days), ready for input, that by default has 5 decimal places in the selection screen (g.e. 5,00000). It is possible, and if so, where can I change the number of decimal places to show in that variable?
Please advice

In my case the formula variable is properly displaying the value without any extra decimal places.
I have done the following settings.
Variable Entry - Mandatory
Ready for Input
Dimension indicator - Number
Default value - 95.
When i execute the report i can see just 95.
Don't know why it is showing extra decimal places?

Decimal places for JPY currency in change documents

Hi Gurus,
For opportunities in SAP GUI the change documents for JPY show incorrect numbers.
The number is divided by 100 (two decimal places added).
Checked the CDPOS table and found the values already divided (two decimal places added).
SPRO->General Settings->Currencies->Set decimal places for currencies is set for 0 decimals for JPY.
Is there any way I can get correct values in the change documents?
Please advice. Any hint is useful.
Thx,
Martin Kuma

Hi Naren,
Thank you for the tip, however the TCURX table is changed via customizing and should be changed only during the system initialization.
What I would like to do, is to assure that the system displays the values in change documents correctly. It should apply the currency conversion for the data displayed the same way it does for all the tables.
Do you have any idea, how should I do this?

Default multiple values for formula variable on variable selection screen

Hi All,
Suppose 'A' is formula variable with customer exit as processing type then i want four default values for this variable eg: 3, 6,9, and 12 as selection options, when we will execute query user can able to pick any one of the default value.
is it possible in BEx for formula variables?
I also tried with ABAP code in 'cmod' t-code, but it is not working properly for 4 default values....but for single default value, code is working fine.
I am using following code ::
When 'ZCSIMCTB'. // variable name
IF i_step = '1'.
CLEAR : l_s_range.
l_s_range-low = 3.
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 = 6.
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 = 9.
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 = 12.
l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
ENDIF.
Thanks in advance

Decimal Places for Currencies

Impact on the processes of change at MM decimals for Currencies.
We want to use foreign currency to 6 decimals anand two decimal places for the currency of society

Dear José Luis Flores ,
Please always make sure your business process not reach the limitation of overflow during
the conversion as the Price it is always with 11 characters with 2 Decimal place (9,2) in standard.
All together 13 characters.
If this limitation was reached, you will received the dump message. This is normal and you had to
make sure it suits your business requirement in the beginning to avoid any changes later . You
had to plan it before do this type of customizing in very beginning.
Thanks

Changing decimal places for currencies

Hi everyone,
I'm a complete begginer to SAP BI and I need to change a value in SPRO > General Settings > Currencies > Set Decimal Places for Currencies, but the option that I want doesn't exist.
I need to add a new entry with the value: currency - EUR6 and decimals 6, but there is no 6 available. Can anyone tell me where can I add this or what is the table where this information is???
Thanks in advance!
Rogério Brá

ok I think it works - just try and play
This is what I did (sort of same scenario - if you get my drift)
Currency Key MGF - translation ratio 1000:1
Exchange rate is : 11:02750 to the Euro
Invoice entered for 1,000,000.00
Currency calculated as 90.68 eur
(ie 1,000,000/(11.02750 * 1000))
You can play aroudn with direct/indirect to ge the factors right
But it works (I thought it did - I am qualified FICO honest!!)
This wont get you around displaying 6 decimals - BUT it will help with currency conversion

More DECIMAL places for MM price-Not Global

I have read the <u>many</u> postings on decimals. However, I have not seen the exact scenario I'm inquiring about.
I want to increase the decimal places from 2 to 4 for the cost of materials we purchase (i.e. supplier price), but I do NOT want to set this as a global aspect for the company when dealing with numbers/currency.
It's not just a simple matter of setting a different unit of measure, because let's say we order a reel of capacitors - the reel may come in qty of 1,000 or 2,500 (only one example). So, we really need to set price by (ea). The problem is that many of our parts price at .0014 (example) and in SAP that shows a cost or price [depending on where you're looking] of zero. Plus, the Purchasing agent sends a PO with incorrect price information.
<b>It would be very helpful if anyone could tell me how to increase the number of decimal places for specific fields as opposed to globally.</b>
Thanks you!!

The right tool to do that is the pice unit. This is in the system for ecatly that purpose, to provide more precision in prices. It has nothing to do with unitz of measure that is used for logistical purposes.
If you have a price 0f 0.0014 each you can set a price unit of 1000 and will have a price of 1.40 for 1000. You still can have only 500 or even 1 on stock. the calculation done if you receive your 2500 will be 2500 * 1,40 / 1000 which is of course the same as 2500 * 0,0014

Changing Decimal Places for Currencies (Table V_TCURX)

The instance is ECC 6.0
We need to change the decimal places for a currency from 0 to 2 decimal places. Is there any impacts of doing that?
Also need to add some currencies which are not in the table. Is there anything need to be careful while doing this. If this table is updated, do we need to update any other tables also which may be impacted?

Hi,
It is not recommended that when postings have already been made, that a change in the currency be done, as amounts posted can become invalid or incorrect as a result (ie USD 100->1.00), which is most critical in production environment Please go through the note 137626 When you made changes via OY04, the effect of which is across all clients.
To change the number of decimal places for a currency already in use, you must convert all the tables in the R/3 System that contain currency fields, so that the data integrity remains. This cannot, however, for both organizational reasons and under the runtime aspect, in a productive system.
You must never change decimal places in a productive system if you have documents posted with this currency. Such a change could lead to inconsistencies in these documents already posted.
In case you really decide to use decimals you may consider to use SAP conversion services for them to convert all documents aready posted as explained in note 434349.

Decimal places for unit of measure

Dear All ,
If i change the Decimal Places for rounding in Customizing for Unit of measure ( CUNI tcode) for KG as 6 from 3 whether it will calculate with the 6 decimal places like 0.004756 ( earlier with 3 decimal places it will calculate any multiplication with 0.004 now i want the same with 0.004756 Kg )
whether it will work ?
and where it will impact

Hi
No it will not work like that. And it depend on the transaction where you enter that. In case of Purchase order quntity field it will be always with 2 decimal places because field MENGE has 2 decimal places only. If your system is already live then it is not advisible to do such changes.

Drop-Down-Box (F4 Input Help) for formula variable in BEx Analyzer (BI 7.0)

Hi Gurus,
is it possible to get a drop down box for a ready for input formula variable in the BEx Analyzer (not BEx Web!)?
We want to let the users choose scaling factors 1, 1000 or 1000000 (implemented via this formula variable). In the settings of the formula variable you can only choose a default value but there seems to be no option to provide all three factors in a drop down box like the ones for characteristic value variables.
We could prevent other entries in the variable pop up via customer exit (i_step 3) but the business is wishing an F4 input help like the ones for characteristic values.
Thanks for your help,
Marco

Hi Macro,
Its not possible to get drop down box for a ready for input formula variable. Because it is possible only for characterstic value variables but not formula variable.u donnot get any drop down box like ready for input for formula variable.

Web item for formula variable in WAD

Hi,
I have a formula variable in my IP application where user can input the percentage for a function, which web item I should used in WAD to bind the user's input data with the formula variable? The input field item does not have the data binding property.I did it in my last project but can not remember it anymore.

Basically, in IP you do not need to configure web item for formula variable, it will automatically pop-up when you run the function, at that time you can input the value for the variable. while in BPS, we need to input the numerical value before we run the function.
Since the input field web item does not have data binding property, I am not sure it is useful, the data you input has no effect on your processing data set. Anybody has some other idea?

CP7 - Show 4 (or more) decimal points for User Variable?

Is there a way to show 4 or more decimal points for user variables?
For some reason, I'm only showing two decimal points for user variables in Captivate 7.
Micky

Yeah, I was afraid of that.
Right now, I have am dividing the values of two separate text box entry fields. I have to calculate the values to determine if they are getting a promotion, lateral transfer or lower pay range.
I'll figure out a workaround or just use java.
