Delete characteristic combination

Hi all,
I need to delete characteristic combination from a POS.
1 - Is there any way to delete from a list (excel file)? In /SAPAPO/MC62 with the function "Delete from a Combination list" I don't see a way to do this. It seems to be made for listing a previous seletion and then we have to mark all the CVCs to be deleted.
2 - I need to delete de CVC where I have the value zero in some keyfigure. Can this be done?
The only way I see is creating an infocube based on the PA and then list all the records with no value in this keyfigure and then use tx /SAPAPO/MC62.
Thanks,
Teresa

Another alternative which may be useful ..... I had posted this in another thread.
"As mentioned by many, there is no standard program & you may need to build a custom program for this. Nevertheless, I have a certain procedure in mind which can automate the maintainence of CVCs in APO DP.
We normally use (atleast) 2 cubes for APO DP, one is the Input cube and the other a Backup cube. The input cube will contain only latest & relevant sales data and normally you would want your planning area to contain these. However, in due course, we will end up with redundant CVCs of old products in planning area, if left unattended. So, what we do is, after the latest backup load is created, we delete all data in planning area and delete all CVCs. You may need a small program here to delete all CVCs, which is still better than developing a complex program to delete redundant CVCs and identifying the CVCs to be deleted using some logic. Identifying the redundant CVCs to be deleted amongst thousands of CVCs and automating it is the greatest pain here.
Next, after the sales load into Input cube containing only relevant combinations, you re-create all CVCs based on your Input cube and load sales data. Once sales data is loaded, you can load the backup data from backup cube back into planning area. Thus, if any redundant CVCs were present earlier and that combination is not present in Input cube, it will be left out."

  • Selection does not contain characteristic combination

    Hi Gurus,
    I am very new to Planning module. When i have created planning sequence on Aggregation level for 0INM_RC02 Cube, system gives error message "Selection does not contain characteristic combination". Can any one help me what is this error msg and how to rectify this one.
    With Regards,
    Balachander.S

    Hi,
    you are trying to post the values which are not in combination for characteristic and its attributes.
    For example :
    Buisness Area, currency.
    India  - INR
    LV10 - GBP
    Now you are trying to post India - GBP,which is invalid.Check in the selection if you are deriving any characteristic on the basis of master data for which you are trying to post invalid entries.
    Or
    You are using characteristic relatioship for which entries are invalid.
    or
    You are trying to post the data which is not restricted in filter for example :-
    If you have restricted currency as INR in filter and trying to post to GBP then you will get this error.

  • No valid characteristic combinations found in planing at FM

    Dear Professionals,
    I'm going to use planning functionality of FM. I've did all customizing but in Plan data change characteristic screen (t-code FMPLCPD) after filling appropriate data when I try to enter to the planning screen the system show me:
    No valid characteristic combinations found
    Message no. K9039
    Please kindly let me know about your helpful suggestion.
    Regards,
    Yashar

    hello Yashar
    Apparently the problem was with customizing: the budgeting process/es involved in the planning are not assigned to the budgeting version status properly. This could be seen in the error log behind ''No valid characteristic combinations".
    Please let me know if this information is valid for you

  • Delete obsolete combinations in /SAPAPO/MC62 - how to use?

    Hello SAP-experts,
    We are using SAP APO Demand planning SAP SCM 7.0 with SP 15 for most of components.
    I have some questions related to the button "delete obsolete combinations" in TA /SAPAPO/MC62. We want to use option "list combinations without planning data" to reduce CVC's quantity. What I have read it checks for CVC's without any entries at key figures. It sounds useful, but it doesn't seem to work in our company for some reason.
    1. Where exactly does system check if there are key figures for the selected CVC's? In livecache directly? Or in an internal generated info cube for the planning area? Is it possible to view these key figures (on same base as done from system with option "list combinations without planning data") before using the deletion? Is there a report / table to do so? What's the best practise for this check (maybe on daily base)?
    2. I have (some) CVC's without any key figure filled (for my opinion...). At the moment I check this with an info cube used for daily backup (means I see always the data from last night and I know that noone changed data because of blocked planning access). But it isn't found with "list combinations without planning data". When displaying the data in this backup-cube all key figures are shown as zero (the one which are shown for deletion and in same way the cvc's which are not shown). In the key figure settings "differentiation between zero and initial value" is not marked... I think this is correct, but maybe I have a misunderstanding here... any ideas about this setting? I don't believe this setting is wrong, because it shows me some CVC's to be deleted, but some of them are not shown (the setting should work for all cvc's in same way...?).
    All ideas are most welcome, thank you all in advance!
    Best regards

    Hello Ali,
    thank you for your reply!
    My plan was to use standard tool, because it's available since some releases. I don't prefer to implement own programming instead of using an existing tool (talking about the built ABAP tool, the idea with alert makro sounds good).
    Is the standard tool effective??? Good question. We talk about 2 steps.
    If the mentioned function "delete obsolete" would work like designed (maybe it does, but I don't understand how...) it would do 2 steps combined:
    - find out obsolete CVC's (your alert makro)
    - delete obsolete CVC's (your ABAP tool)
    Combining these 2 steps would be really effective, but it doesn't work for some reason. My estimation is that standard is not effective, because complete process of deletions of CVC's is very slow and causes sometimes performance trouble.
    But this is the reason why I search for a standard tool to run periodically (maybe each week) for a check of "old" CVC's. I think our problem of slow running deletions is caused by too many CVC's in an planning object structure (together with the fact that our CVC's have a lot of key figures / characteristics).
    To be honest my main task is to find the best possibility to delete a list of completely different CVC's (no unique selection possible). I tested a lot of things found in SCN (realignment, background deletion,...), but all the solutions have s lack in performance (at least in our system...).

  • Leading zeros in the Product allocation characteristic combinations.

    Hi All,
    I am copying Characteristic combination from planning area to product allocation group, after i complete the transaction system is automatically preceding the zeroes to the product number.
    I have one the following activities before copying CVC of planning area to product allocation group.
    against all the Product allocation settings.
    2.Created the MPOS with product (characteristic length of Product is 18), Customer and Allocation object.
    3.Created planning area and planning book.
    4.Copied cvc combination from planning are to product allocation group and also copied planning area values in to Product allocation group.
    5.Tried to check in the ATP simulation mode, while I was doing system has given no characteristic combination found, when I checked Product is preceding zeros as per the filed MATNR length 40 and this MATNR is selected from the Product allocation field catalog, But when I add zeros to product system is performing Product allocations in simulation mode.
    6.Tried triggering gATP Product allocations by creating Order in ECC, here also it has given same error No characteristic combination exists.
    When I did initial R&D on this. I found that material number in the product allocation characteristic combination is leading by zeros for ex:- 000000000000000002200325.
    Could any one please suggest me what to do on this.
    Thanks and Regards,
    T.Muthyalappa

    Hi Muthyalappa ,
    If i have understood your question properly , then my guess is you should be facing this problem only for numeric material codes. Try out the following things
    1. Execute the same test condition for a non numeric material. I believe it will work perfectly .
    2. For numeric material codes it is not working because of the difference in MATNR length between ECC and APO. In ECC the maximum possible MATNR length is 18 char whereas it is 40 chars in APO. So as per std SAP functionality the numeric materials get concatenated with leading zeros when you try to transfer it (or carry out any kind of processing ) from ECC to APO.
    ex consider material 12345. In ECC it will be stored internally as 13 leading zero's followed by12345 . But in APO it will be stored as 35 leading zero's followed by 12345.  Your issue is the system does not recognize the CVC that has this material as characteristic. At the time of cvc creation / change make sure your material characteristic ( especially for numeric material codes) totally has 40 chars . Pack it with leading zeros and make the material length 40.
    Try this out and update me .
    Thanks

  • How to delete unwanted combinations after creating new records ?

    Hi All,
    I am generating some combinations using the 'characteristic relationship' setting in the query designer. If 10 records are created and the user wants to work only on 3 records, is there a way that the user can delete the unwanted records. I mean he shouldnt see these records again.
    If deletion is not possible then is there a way to hide these records ? Any logic as how to achieve this ?
    Zero suppression will not work in my case as there is a chance of assigning the key figure to zero and again reviving it back to some non zero value.
    Request your valuable inputs.

    Thank you for the reply.
    Yes thats how it works. But the user doesnt want to enter all the specific filter criteria , he wants to input the values only for some characteristics and leave the others as blank. In this case the system creates all the possible combinations for the characteristics that are left blank. So the no of unwanted records are increasing drastically.
    I had written a fox code to generate combinations based on the variable entry(from and to)  for the characteristic which determines the record uniquely. This way i am able to reduce the no of unwanted records.  But couldnt delete the records.
    Is there any way that i can change the value of a dummy characteristic in the  record so that data slice can be applied on such records by hitting a button and  the user willnt be able to change the values for these records.

  • Deleteing Characteristic/Value field in COPA

    Hi
    How to delete a characteristic or valuefield from existing operating concern.?
    Thanks,
    Santosh

    Hi Santoshreddy,
    As far as my experiences is concerned, once a value fields and/or characteristics has been created it cannot be deleted if the characteristic has been used in the operating concern. Therefore this means no postings had already triggered the COPA using such characteristic. Instead of deleting a characteristic, you can change the config through KEQ3 wherein you would limit its use or make no use of it at all. Pick the radiobutton that you desire.
    For more details regarding COPA details please refer at this link.. http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/c6/f22c7dd435d1118b3f0060b03ca329/frameset.htm

  • Unable to delete or combine pages in Acrobat Pro 9

    I am using Acrobat Pro 9 and want to delete a page and then add a page to an existing pdf document that was created in Adobe 9 Pro to begin with.  I have tried using the "pages" tab to create thumbnails and then highlight the page I want to remove and select "edit > delete" and this option is greyed out.  The menu option at the top: "document > delete pages" is also greyed out.  Then I tried creating a new duplicate pdf from scratch using Live Cycle Designer to import the existing text into a fresh document and then delete the page and the same problem is coming up and that isn't fixing this issue.  How do I enable page deletions and insertions?
    thanks,

    How do I enable page deletions and insertions?
    Don't use LiveCycle Designer. Create your forms with Adobe Acrobat. Designer-created forms can't be modified in Acrobat.

  • Characteristic combinations

    I have to implement the following scenario/
    I have product as a characteristic.  But it is actually product category.  There are 8 categories.  Each category has 1 to 10 products.    How do I implement this?
    Product categories: x1, x2, x3, …, x8
    X1 --- has x11, x12, x13, x14 products
    X2 --- has x21, x22, x23 products
    X8 --- has x81, x82, x83 products
    When I display these things in planning book, I like to drill down to product category, product etc.
    You help is highly appreciated.

    Thank you Siva:
    So, now I can assign attributes to characteristics and to that attribute (I belive we can) add more attributes and thus we can create a hierarcy of attributes.
    Thus we can represent the product group --> product --> product Item --> color produt item.  etc.
    is it good to attach anther charactistic or attributes?
    my probelms is ...
    product group
          has many products
               each product has seveal proudct.

  • Deleted CVC's

    Hi APO Guru's
    1.At present I see particular CVC when it was created through realignment input table (steps).
       Is there any way to know/check the deleted characteristic combination/s? 
    2. How to identifiy the Characteristic combination/s that has no time series ?
    3. How to create time series for already created Characteristic combination/s but missed time series?
    I appriciate early reply
    regards
    Kiran

    1.Is there any way to know/check the deleted characteristic combination/s?
    Any CVCs generated/deleted can viewed in the "Manage log" section in transaction /sapapo/mc62
    2. How to identifiy the Characteristic combination/s that has no time series ?
    3. How to create time series for already created Characteristic combination/s but missed time series?
    You can see both 2 and 3 in report /SAPAPO/TS_LCM_PLOB_DELTA_SYNC.
    For the CVCs that have no time series, Click on the 3rd icon to the right that says drop down text as "Time series to be adjusted (Cntrl+F1)".
    When you run this report, it synchronizes the CVCs and time series.
    You can also do this synchronization using the report /SAPAPO/TS_PSTRU_CONS_CHECK.

    Hi
    You can find more information under Ranked List Condition: Top 5 Products and Ranked List Condition for All Characteristics in Drilldown Independent: Top 3 Products and Top 3 Sales Channels.
    ¡        If you want to evaluate the condition for certain drilldowns of defined characteristics or characteristic combinations, in the field Evaluate the Conditions Below for Single characteristics or Combinations of Characteristics. You can then make entries in the list of characteristics used in the queries in rows, columns, or free characteristics.
                                                      i.       If you only want to evaluate the condition when a certain characteristic is present in the drilldown, select this characteristic.

  • Delete amounts of keyfigure before an execution of fox formula

    Hi,
    I have a layout with a button that executes a fox formula, my problem is if the user puts data on columns of amounts, when I execute the fox formula (copy of previous snapshot) these amounts not are deleted (0) if previous amounts don’t have data in these columns.
    Example:
    (0calmonth is dynamical)
    Previous snapshot
    ...............03.2007|04.2007
    materialA| 10........| 0
    Actual snapshot
    ...............03.2007|04.2007
    materialA| 15........| 80
    After the copy function on actual snapshot
    ...............03.2007|04.2007
    materialA| 10........| 80
    I need  80 belong to 0 after the copy.
    There is some way to delete all amounts of the layout and then execute the fox formula, when the user pushes on the button.
    I would appreciate your help.

    THANKS RAVI,
    This function  delete all the data with its characteristic combination, there is a way to delete the data only like the garbage button of the layout?
    if I use the delete function, if I have a combination of characteristic in my actual snapshot that are not in the previous snapshot I will lose it.
