Different Descriptions

Hi to all,
In Our Report we are using Char Field 1 with Description XXX at info object level.
But same field has different description in Query Designer as YYY.
So, this case
which description will display in after execution of report whether it is XXX or YYY and why?
Plz let me know.
Thanks

Hi,
In your example, the description YYY will be displayed in the report.
SAP provided a flexible feature that each time you want to use to display a different description for same infoobject in various reports, you don't need to go back to the backend (rsa1) and change the description of that particular info object. instead change it at the query level in the query designer.
However, the description of the infoobject that you changed in a particular query would pertain to only those reports based on that query. the original desc will remain untouched at the backend
You can change as many as differnt desc. in various reports without actually changing the original desc.

Sudheer

Different DESCRIPTIONs in MTL_CATEGORIES_B and MTL_CATEGORIES_TL

Hi,
We recently found a bunch of item categories having different descriptions in MTL_CATEGORIES_B and MTL_CATEGORIES_TL tables in our application, once the user changed the description for a particular category in Categories form, DESCRIPTION field with WHO columns in MTL_CATEGORIES_TL got updated immediately, but somehow only those WHO columns got updated in MTL_CATEGORIES_B, DESCRIPTION field in this table did not change.
As we are using MTL_CATEGORIES_B in our custom program, this discrepancy is causing some problems in our legacy system. Does anybody know why it is not being synchronized with MTL_CATEGORIES_TL? Is there any setup stopping the synchronization? And, is there any program to get it updated?
Any idea would be highly appreciated!

Jason

Different descriptions in different languages

Hello,
Can somebody tell me whether is is possible to have a different description when a user uses a different langauage and if so, how to set this up?
What I mean is: We will be using PeopleSoft in 4 languages (English, dutch, french, german) and we want to have our values to have a description addapted to the language.
For example a user signing in as dutch should have the account descriptions in dutch, a user signing in in french should have his descriptions in french etc.
Kind Regards,
Stijn

If this is a delivered record where you have description stored, then it should have a related language record attached (look into record properties in application designer).
when creating these accounts, you should login into peoplesoft in different languages and change the description according to the language for the same account. This will populate the related language record (you can also do this by SQLs).
If this is a custom record, then you will need to attach a related language record to this and then populate it with right values following the same approach as above.
Once the related language record is populated with the right values, you should be able to see translated values when logged in with a language other than the base language(which in a normal installation is always kept as english)

Different material description for RG1 register

Dear Experts,
I have a client requirement for change in material description (materialmaster) to a different description.
The description maintained in material master is for viz
SS CT BT 200mm-123-093MKO
But excise need description
SS BILLET
Where to maintain this additional description in material master and fetch the same for RG1 register.
Let me know any stranded user exit is available. If the above case is possible than also let me know what would be the bad implications on processes (like stock will not match with description).
Regards,
RB
Edited by: RB on Feb 26, 2009 6:18 PM

you either create a quickview by joining MARC and MAKT tables for this.
or much easier. you press F4 in a material number field.
then you go to search help W plant material.
there you erase the language from the selection pop-up and execute
in the hitlist do a right mouse click and you can directly download

Dimension with 2 Hierarchies, Lowest Member w/ Different Long Descriptions

I'm trying to create a dimension that would allow Discoverer For OLAP users to choose between different LONG DESCRIPTIONs, and I am trying to accomplish this by using multiple hierarchies.
For example, when a user is trying to create a report and eventually stumbles upon the Dimensions part of the Workbook creation, he can choose a different description other than the default by choosing from the Hierarchy drop down list.
The following is the dimension details:
Dimension: TEST_DIM
Hierarchy #1: HIER_NAME
Levels: TOTAL_DIM_NAME
        TEST_LVL_NAME
Hierarchy #2: HIER_CODE
Levels: TOTAL_DIM_CODE
        TEST_LVL_CODE
Dimension View: V_TEST_DIM
Fields: TOTAL_DIMENSION_NAME_ID   ---mapped to--> TOTAL_DIM_NAME
        TOTAL_DIMENSION_NAME_DESC ---mapped to--> TOTAL_DIM_NAME_LONG_DESCRIPTION
        NAME_LEVEL_ID             ---mapped to--> TEST_LVL_NAME
        NAME_LEVEL_DESC           ---mapped to--> TEST_LVL_NAME_LONG_DESCRIPTION
        TOTAL_DIMENSION_CODE_ID   ---mapped to--> TOTAL_DIM_CODE
        TOTAL_DIMENSION_CODE_DESC ---mapped to--> TOTAL_DIM_CODE_LONG_DESCRIPTION
        CODE_LEVEL_ID             ---mapped to--> TEST_LVL_CODE
        CODE_LEVEL_DESC           ---mapped to--> TEST_LVL_CODE_LONG_DESCRIPTION
Cube: TEST_CUBE
Measure: TEST_MEASURE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------With the above dimension having 2 hierarchies, Discoverer users can choose between HIER_NAME or HIER_CODE. The problem with this setup is that for this to work, different fields must be mapped to the lowest levels of each hierarchy, because the values of NAME_LEVEL_ID and CODE_LEVEL_ID fields from the V_TEST_DIM dimension view are different from each other, even though they share the same set of records, which means they can be considered as one.
The values of NAME_LEVEL_ID and CODE_LEVEL_ID must be different, because if they are not, I receive the following error during maintenance:
***Error Occured: Data for at least One of the Hierarchies for TEST_DIM.DIMENSION controdicts the Definition of such Hierarchy as Level
Based.After making the NAME_LEVEL_ID and CODE_LEVEL_ID values different from each other, I tried mapping the fact table to the cube. Mapping details are as follows:
Cube View: V_TEST_CUBE
Fields: TEST_VALUE       --mapped to--> TEST_MEASURE
        NAME_LEVEL_ID    --mapped to--> TEST_DIM.TEST_LVL_NAME.NAME_LEVEL_ID
     CODE_LEVEL_ID    --mapped to--> TEST_DIM.TEST_LVL_CODE.CODE_LEVEL_ID
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Unfortunately, the above mappings does not work, because I get the following error when I do so:
Invalid Mapping:
Levels in a dimension TEST_DIM have to be mapped to the same column for summary fact_tableBut despite the error(s) above, I've actually made this work, by leaving the one ID field (NAME_LEVEL_ID or CODE_LEVEL_ID) unmapped. Say, I map NAME_LEVEL_ID to TEST_DIM.TEST_LVL_NAME.NAME_LEVEL_ID but leave CODE_LEVEL_ID unmapped, then maintain to load data for TEST_DIM (HIER_NAME hierarchy). Then I unmap NAME_LEVEL_ID and map CODE_LEVEL_ID. I maintain the cube again to load data for the other hierarchy which is HIER_CODE.
Now, if that works, why won't AWM let me map NAME_LEVEL_ID and CODE_LEVEL_ID at the same time?
I tried running the following DML command to manually map the fields:
call set_measure_key_expression('TEST_CUBE.MAPGROUP1.CUBEMAPGROUP',NA,'TEST_DIM.HIER_NAME.LEVEL\nTEST_DIM.HIER_CODE.LEVEL','VIEW_OWNER.V_TEST_DIM.NAME_LEVEL_ID\nVIEW_OWNER.V_TEST_DIM.CODE_LEVEL_ID',FALSE)I checked the mappings afterwards and the two fields are indeed mapped, but when I try to maintain, I got an error stating that 'VIEW_OWNER.V_TEST_DIM.NAME_LEVEL_ID\nVIEW_OWNER.V_TEST_DIM.CODE_LEVEL_ID' does not exits or something like that.
Does any know a better way to implement this?
Please help.

I understand what you are trying to achieve, and technically it should be possible. In practice, however, Disco caches dimensional information as it is not expecting information such as descriptions to change from one query to the next.
The complication is the description objects do not have any additional dimensionality beyond their base dimension, however, there is a language dimension that might be useful in this case. If you created an additional language with a formula that calls a program to set the underlying AWM language dimension you could assign this measure to the first worksheet in your workbook and allow users to swap between different versions of their long descriptions. However, this would be a session wide setting and not worksheet specific.
In the AWM tree you will need to add additional languages to your AW which can then be used a placeholders for your different descriptions. This will affect all your dimensions so you will need to either use OLAP DML to copy the base language descriptions to all the other languages or using the mapping editor.
In the dimension mapping tool you will now see multiple entry points for descriptions - English, French, German etc depending on which languages you picked. You can assign any column from your source view/table to these columns.
Should work - I did something similar for another customer. It is not ideal, and does require the users to open/create a worksheet to switch the descriptions but it was all I could think of at the time.

Description mismatch due to SAP log ins in different lanuages

Hi All,
We have implemented new condition types with the English description. But user is logging in to SAP with Spanish language and observed the description are scattered with different description (what I feel is available English description is translated in to nearest equal Spanish descriptions).
User is now requesting for the one of the below options.
1.When ever they log in to SAP with Spanish as language they want see the English description as it is how we have configured initially OR
2.They will provide us the Spanish description which we need apply in our initial configuration.
Please let me know how it can be done.
1.How to do the configuration which will show same English description irrespective of English or Spanish SAP in's.
2.After getting the Spanish equivalent description can I go and change the same in my initial configuration.

OK, solved it.
Don't use the TRACELEVEL and/or TRACELEVELPROPAGATION settings.

Emailing multiple individual photos from iPhoto is causing the same image to be on different emails. Need help!

I am using iPhoto to edit my pictures from my Canon 60d. As I edit the photos, I send them by email within iPhoto (using the Large setting) to several members of my family. Last night I sent about 20 different pictures with different descriptive titles in the email to multiple people. However, when they view them in their email on their iPhones, it is showing the first picture over and over again, no matter what the title of the email says the photo is. It is even stretching the picture to either landscape or portrait depending on the view of the different pics in each email themselves but is still showing the same pic no matter the orientation.
I need to figure out if this is a bug with iPhoto and iPhone or if I need to do something different. You would think if you choose an image and email it, it would be THAT image. It only began within the last two weeks or so but it has been consistent when emailing multiple single photos. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

Greetings,
I've seen this issue myself between iPhoto and an iOS device. It appears to be an issue with the how the iOS device sees the email templates used by iPhoto '11's built in email feature.
Suggestions:
Let Apple know you have this issue: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html
Go to iPhoto > Preferences > General > Email photos using > MailThis will bypass the email templates and send your images directly from the Apple Mail program. You won't have the pretty templates, but the images will come through (which is the important part in my opinion).
Keep your software up to date on your computer and on your iOS devices. (If / when a fix comes, that's how you'll get it.)
Cheers.

Right-Click pop-up more than one Description and tip

Is it possible to edit the run-time popup menu for a right click on a control?
My front panel has a cluster within a cluster and the right-click popup menu gives you two different "Description and Tip" to select from. This is confusing for the user.
How do I edit the run-time right-click popup menu?

hi
search for right click, context menu etc. in this forum. there are several posted vis to create your own right-click menues and catch the selected item (some of them are really neat).

Lightroom, 5.5, Mac version: lens metadata incomplete and/or inconsistent. Photos taken with the same camera and lens display the lens metadata differently in LR 5.5, but are the same in the original files

LR is putting different descriptions of the same lens, used with the same camera, in the metadata of photos taken on the same occasion.
For example:
The following two images were taken with the same camera and lens.
They were imported at the same time into LR by copying.
The only difference in treatment is that the first was an untouched out-of camera jpeg, the second had been flipped using Preview on the Mac.
The one that was flipped has a full description of the lens, the one that was untouched has an abbreviated description.
When you show the file in the Finder and read the metadata using Preview, the correct full lens description appears.
Why is LR displaying the metadata differently for these two files?

Can you zip up a few of your GoPro images, upload them to dropbox.com and post a share link, here, so others can experiment with them, or do you mean this issue is global to all camera models?

AR Invoice - Service invoice - two descriptions, same GL account - one post

Hello,
I have a need for an AR Invoice for Services to have two items on it, different descriptions, same GL account, to make seperate postings for each line. As of now it is consolidating to one GL entry for both lines.
Any way to do this?
Thank you,
John Sefton

Hello,
As per the current system working, even though you have 2 different description lines with a same G/L account in the AR invoice, it won't be displayed as separated lines in Journal Entry. System will summarize the amount by account automatically.
May be a custom query could help you achieve the result in a report.
Hope it helps.

How to display subtotal description depending on the group name in ALV

Hi,
In my ALV report, i need to display with different descriptions for each subtotal text and i dont want to do any subtotal for the final group.
EX:-
groupId Material numbers
1 1
1 2
1 3
1 4
total of first group (Subtotal text)
Group id Material numbers
2 1
2 2
2 3
2 4
total of the Second group (subtotal text)
3rd group i dont want to do any subtotal.
Please help me how to do this one.

Hi,
I think standard ALV couldn't satisfy the requirements, unless there are some methods I don't know. But I am thinking of using ABAP list or form to display the report.

Document Description Issue.

Hi All,
When I create a document in CV01n and mention some description for that document, the description of the document is stored only in the log in language.
e.g. I logged in with EN, then the description of the document will only be stored in EN language.
If I see the same document in DE language, the description will be blank.
is there any standard way in which we can copy the the description in English to other languages.
Thanks and Regards.
Piyush R Sakharkar.

Hi,
Espen is right. The document description is normally stored in combination with the logon language. The only alternative would be to go to tab "Descriptions" and here you can add different descriptions for different languages.
Otherwise the BADI method mentioned by Espen could help to add further entries in table DRAT.
Best regards,
Christoph

Dimension hierarchy on description attibutes

Hi all!
I'm a little confused about using drilling through hierarchy. I've designed dimensions and cubes through OWB. I have three levels (let's say LEVEL1 is the most detailed level) on my dimension, which has 5 attributes (let's say ID - surrogate key, LEVEL1_KEY, LEVEL2_KEY, LEVEL3_KEY - business identifiers and DESC). LEVEL 1 has all attributes, LEVEL2 all but LEVEL1_KEY and LEVEL3 has ID, LEVEL3_KEY and DESC attributes.
When using this dimension in Oracle Discoverer, I can only drill/roll up when using KEY attributes.
How can I define the dimension (levels and hierarchy) so that I can use DESC columns in drill...? I can drill to related and get to descriptions, but I want the user to be able to use hierarchy on description columns.
I tried defining hierarchy using description columns as business keys or/and by using different description attributes on each f the levels but came to same results in the end.
I know this can't be that difficult and I'm missing something.
Can anyone help?
Thank you,
best regards!
BB

Hello,
On BPC 5.1 SP3
Have already done a full process of the dimension and optimized the application (for good measure). Yet, the issue continues to rise.
Any other insights?
We're considering creating an index property on the dimension and bringing that into the report and sorting by that to get the proper hierarchy to display on the report.
Thank you!!

Description of hierarchy scheduled in Infopackage, needs to be changed

Hi all,
We are loading a hierarchy of the description "ACCOUNT NFL GP Hierarchy" (technical name ZFCGF_ACCOUNT_NFL_GP_HIERARCHY) through an infopackage. This infopackage is scheduled in a process chain. Now, the users have asked us to change the hierarchy decsription to "Fixed Costs Account Hierarchy" instead of
"ACCOUNT NFL GP Hierarchy" though the technical name will be the same.
When we are creating a new hierarchy selection in existing Infopackage and giving the same hierarchy name but different description, it is keeping the previous hier description unchanged. Also, we cannot recreate an infopackage as the infopackage is scheduled in process chain and the project is in go-live mode.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
