Do we transport locally restricted Key figures ?

hello,
Do we transport key figures/chars which we restrict locally? or we just transport the RKF?
Is it good idea to restrict locally if its not going to be used too much rather than vreating whole bunch of RKF?
and lastly how can we delete RKF if we dont need them?
Thanks

Yes, I agree: variables are very important and useful to good query creation, esp since you can have all these different types of variables.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/cf/579b3c494d8e15e10000000a114084/content.htm
Not sure about a 'must know' list, but few things that are useful are knowledge of judicious use of filters, variables and free chars; creation of global RKF, CKF and structures; decision choice between 2 queries or 1 query and 2 workbooks; trying to use seelctions, instead of restrictions (when selecting values for restricting chars) etc.
Hope this helps...

Restricted Key Figure Column heading text missing

Hello,
I created a restricted Key Figure in a BEX report and dragged this RKF into the columns tab. when i execute the report , the column header text for the restricted key figure is missing. The values are fine, but the header column text for that KF is missing. any help?
Thanks
justin

Hi Justine...
I think u r doing something wrong..........Either u can create Global Restricted Key(Infoprovider level) or Local restricted ket figure(Query level)..........If u create Global........then in the left pane............Right click on the Keyfigure >> New restricted Key figure...........to create in the Query level..........In the context menu>> choose Edit........... or select the heading of the Rows or Columns directory
and use the right mouse button to choose New Structure..........In both the cases....there is a Description Field........u hav to write the description there............U can change the technical name also.........then save it........
May be it is a temporary bug............just come out the query..and again reopen it......

Restricted key figure as a selection screen

hi
in my fs they gave selection screen and restricted key figures are same things?
can i use this restricted kf as a selection also?

Hi,
If u are talking about 'selection' vs 'restricted key figure: -
Restricted key figure is the selection that u create globally and are avaible for all queries which are built on the multiporvider on which u created your restricted key figure.
when u right click in ur query desinger row or column and create a 'new selection' that also basically is a restricted key figure -b ut available only locally within that particular query.
whereas the globally created RKF will be available to all queries on that info provider.
And 'selection screen' will show all variables u have set as 'ready for input' . it will ask for user to enter the value when query is executed.
hope it helps

Restricting key figure using 0infoprovider

Hi Experts
My query is buily on a multiprovider (which is built on 10 cubes)
I need to restrict key figures in the query so that every KF will search a particular cube, instead of searching all the cubes. because of this query performance is very poor.
We use 10 RKF in that query. I know that we can restrict them it using 0infoprovider.
Now my question - Do we have to restrict the original key figure using which we created RKF or can i just restrict RKF.
Another question - If we have restrict RKF, then in global window (this will affect all the query using tht rKF)or at local level.
Thanks
BIT

Hi,
Now my question - Do we have to restrict the original key figure using which we created RKF or can i just restrict RKF.
You can simply add the restriction in the RKF.
Another question - If we have restrict RKF, then in global window (this will affect all the query using tht rKF)or at local level
If RKF is getting used in multiple queries and you want it to restrict to same inforprovider for all the queries then you can restrict it at global level. But if you have different restrictions for different queries then you will have to create local RKF's and then use them in the individual queries.

Customer Ext Variable is NOT working correctly in the Restricted Key Figure

Hi all,
   I have created a variable ZVCBLMTH (Period from 01/1996 to Last Month) with reference to
    0CALMONTH and it will be populated through Customer Exit and it works fine.
    In the selection for 0CALMONTH, I gave the range as '05/2008' to '08/2008' and this new
    variable passed the value of range as '01/1996' to '04/2008' in RSRT.
    The properties of the variable are:
          Type of Variable - Characteristic, Processing by - Customer Exit, Variable Represents - Interval
          and Variable is - Optional.
          No change in the result after changing the 'Variable is' from Optional to 'Mandatory'.
This variable is used in Restricted Key Figure to calculate the number of matching records between
   01/1996 & 04/2008 and somehow it is not recognizing this variable and NOT passing the results correctly.
   But, there are records with 0CALMONTH between 01/1996 & 04/2008.
   How could I test that which value is passed into the Restricted Key Figure for this variable, PLEASE ?
   Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Venkat.

Hi Clemens Li
I agreed on your point. When we define the Internal table the type for element EQUNR & QUMNR , we are referring the SAP data element for EQUNR, QMNUM field.
Our doubt is even though we refer the standard data element, in the ALV display, it shows with leading zeros and also it creates problems in the filtering and in the filter window all values instead of unique nos.
Hi Abhii
I have given below the fieldcat coding.
Friends, can you kindly clarify the above said problems. Since we use SAP ECC 6.0 any notes or patches apply is required. ( this is the basic functionality in ALV, that is my doubt).
    wls_fieldcat-col_pos   = wpv_pos.
    wls_fieldcat-fieldname = wpv_champ.
    wls_fieldcat-tabname   = wlc_tabname.
wls_fieldcat-seltext_s = wls_fieldcat-seltext_m
    wls_fieldcat-seltext_l = wpv_libelle.
    wls_fieldcat-ddictxt   = 'L'.
    wls_fieldcat-no_out    = wv_no_out.
    APPEND wls_fieldcat TO gt_fieldcat.
Kind regards,

Query Designer restricted key figures using a prompt value

Hallo Experts,
I would like to restrict key figures after user has beeen prompted to enter a date. I have 2 key figures:
a) KF1, Date1
b) KF2, Date2
User should be prompted to select a specific date: e.g. 01/2011. After selecting/entering the prompted date value, it should be given to date objects for intance Date1=01/2011 and Date2=01/2011.
How could I achieve it in Query Designer without using customer_exit function? Reason is that non-experienced users will use this report and they should not be confronted with complex query. Do you have any idea?
Many thanks
Mamadu

Hi,
I assume that you need to restrict the value of keyfigures by date based on user input data on variable selection screen.
First create one user input variable on your date field say for eg calday.
Now restrict your KF1 with calday and choose that vairable which you created.
For second KF2 which seems to me need to be restricted with offset of +1 based on the date entered by the user.
So restrict this KF2 with calday and use the same variable with offset of +1
I just misunderstood you ned calmonth or day because in requirement you have given month but you are calling it as date.
If its month then replace calday with calmonth..
Hope it helps.

One Variable 2 Restricted key figures on 2 different Dimensions

Hi all,
Here is my problem:
I have a cube based on SD sales items. I want to calculate 2 retricted key figures on the 0net_value retricted by a date.
The first key would be restricted by the installation date, and the second one by the cancellation date.
Those two dates are set using a user input.
When I try to do this here the error message I get:
"Variable ZD_CSDATE is used in both (structure) element EL099Z0TL38F14TMC6AL7XKQD, and element EN4ZFAZEYGZ36B06JU04297W5 for various characteristics (0CANC_DATE, 0UCINSTDATE). This is not permitted as the characteristic is required for the F4 value help structure."
I created 2 variables set by customer exit, this solve the problem but is not convenient at all. So who could use one and only one variable or how can create a variable by copy of another one?
Thanks
Matthieu


Hi
 
I am sure you can make more than one Restricted Key Figures which are restricted to same variable value for some Characteristic. And secondly there is no easy copy and paste option to create 2 Customer Exit Variables. You need to find out the ABAP Code written using T-Code: CMODE for the Variable Exit and there you can copy and paste a part of this code to populate new variable. If you check the ABAP Code, you would understand what I am saying. 
I am more surprised at that F4 Help in the error message. Please investigate more in that direction.
 Hope it helps.
 
Cheers

"new selection", restricted key figure and basic key figure

Hi,
I have a test report and i have a basic keyfigure "ZRevenue" and "restricted key figure"(its defined over "ZRevenue") and
a "new selection"(its defined over "ZRevenue").
Now that i have "material number" and "material color" and "request id" in the rows. ("Material color" is a navigational attribute of material number).
In the column level i have a basic key figure "ZRevenue" and "restricted key figure"(its defined over "ZRevenue") and
a "new selection"(its defined over "ZRevenue") .
In a "restricted key figure" or "new selection", we can include a basic key figure or new formula or calculated key figure or an already restricted key figure into it, then we restrict it, with one or more characteristic values. In the report output we get KF values only for those characteristic values, with which it has been restricted. Please correct me if my understanding is wrong.
Initially i restricted the "new selection" (with material number 1 to 3) and "restricted key figure" (with material number 1 to 4).
In the cube i have material numbers 1 to 11. Now all the values were displayed from 1 to 11, but for the
"new selection" (with material number 1 to 3) and "restricted key figure" (with material number 1 to 4) i got values only for 1 to 3 and values for 1 to 4 respectively. This is as expected and is working fine.
Now i tried to restrict the basic keyfigure "ZRevenue" with material number 1, the output was only until the material number 4 (this is the greatest value of the material number defined over the "restricted key figure").
Then i tried to restrict the "new selection" (with material number 1 to 9) , then the output was from 1 to 9 material numbers.
If i remove the restriction over the basic keyfigure "ZRevenue" , then i get all the material numbers from 1 to 11, for "new selection" i get values for the material number 1 to 9 and for "restricted key figure" i get values for the material numbers 1 to 4.
Can some one explain me why this behavior?
Edited by: sapbi enthusiastic on Jan 31, 2012 11:48 AM

Hi,
This is where set theory comes in handy
So what you have is a basic KF (BKF), a selection (SEL), and an RKF.
When producing an output, BEx seems to be looking for the union of all the restrictions you place on these. So when your BKF is not restricted, the union comes out to everything in the underlying DSO. When you restrict the BKF for material number 1, this is how the restrictions might have been processed internally
BKF: Restriction on material 1
RKF: Restriction on material 1-4
SEL: Restriction on 1-3
Union of these three: 1-4
When you remove the BKF restriction and make SEL restricted to 9, this is how it plays out
BKF: NO Restriction on material
SEL: Restriction on material 1-9
RKF: Restriction on 1-4
Union of these three: everything.
As the union ends up giving you everything, you get 11 records. However, as SEL is restricted for 1-9, the SEL will have values for the materials 1-9. Likewise for RKF, you'll get values only for materials 1-4. Hope this clears things up!

Suhas

Very Very Urgent Issue: Restricted Key Figure does not return any data

Hi all,
Please help me solving this urgent issue.
created customer exit variable on characterstics version and also
other customer exit variable on Value type.
I coded that in variable exit. Problem is when I include these in
restrickted keyfigure My query does not return me any data.
But if I remove from restrickted key firgure and put it as normal
charaterstics I see the variable is getting populated.
Also in RSRT the SQl generated when these are included in RKF is not
correct.
I debugged and know they are getting populated. As when included in RKF
I can also see the values of customer exit variables from information
tab.
I also know that there is data in cube for those restrictions.
I posted one OSS Notes regarding this urgent issue. But got no reply from SAP.
FYI: We are using BEx 3.5 Browser SAP GUI 6.4 Patch 20 BW Patch 11
Thanks

How to show filter values of restricted key figures in BEx Analyzer?

Hi,
I have following report.
                     Quantity USA        Quantity China
Product           100                        150
Quantity USA is a restricted key figure using key figure 'quantity' and a restriction on characteristic 'country' = USA
Quantity China is a restricted key figure using key figure 'quantity' and a restriction on characteristic 'country' = China
I notice that when I put only one of these resticted key figures into the query, there is a line in the filter area of the report in the BEx Analyzer that shows the characteristic 'country' and the value on which it's restricted in the restricted key figures.
E.g.:
Country          USA
                     Quantity USA
Product           100
If I put both restricted key figures in the query, this line is not shown.
Does anyone of you know how I can display this line again when using multiple restricted key figures like this in the query?
Thanks!

Creating a restricted key figure in BI7 reporting

Hi
I am creating a restricted key figure globally in BI7 query designer, whenever I try to restrict Calender Year /Month, an error message pops up showing:
Runtime error '457' (This key is already associated with an element of this collection), when I click ok another message opens
Runtime error '429' (Active X component can't create object)
and finally Microsoft VB runtime error
Automation (The callee(servernot server application) is not applicable and disappeared; all connections are invalid. The call may have executed.
I am working in BI 7, SAP gui 640 what could be the problem in BI 7???because the same thing is working in BI 3.5 environment.

Hi Indraneel,
Try to look for the patch level you are using for SAP GUI, it should be level 14. If lesser than this apply and check. And always disable VB macros.
Assign points if helps.

How to copy restricted key figures in query designer ?

hi,
i have created a query in query designer (BI 7.0).
How can i copy existing restricted key figures ? i can't find anything. i always have to create a new one, and then i have to do all the things like 'details of selection' etc.... manually. that CANNOT be, there MUST be a way to copy those key figures.
any ideas ?
best regards, Martin

Hi Martin,
Restricted key figures can be stored on the infoprovider basis . For which right click on the key figure (left hand side pane ), Select the necessary key figure and assign the restriction through characteristics combination, and give it a restriction and save it . Next tiem when you create query on the same info provider it should appear in the left hand side as readymade reusable piece .
Hope that helps.

Restricted Key figure - Displaying as normal number instead of currency

Hello,
I'm creating a restricted key figure using 0AMOUNT which of course is currency, however in the cube that I'm using 0AMOUNT is used for both Dollars and Quantities. The problem is 1) it is always displaying a $ symbol in front of the key figure and 2) it seems when I try to create a calculated key figure and try to add the 0AMOUNT to another 0QUANTITY infoObject I get an error (I'm presumming because I'm trying to add a number to a currency infoObject).
So my question(s) are 1) Can I format my new restricted key figure to always display as Quantity even though it's a currency info object
and 2) Can I do a calculated key figure adding a Currency InfoObject to a Quantity infoObject?
Thank you very much!
-Patrick

1) For your first question, u don't to have the currency dollar displayed for the restricted 0amount instead you want the unit of quanity.?if you want to do this,you could make use of Excel's format options i.e go to
format-->.Style->Select the stdBexInput item and make the appropriate settings.
2) You can use NODIM() function to add two different keyfigures.

Duplicated Restricted Key Figures?

My queries for the Sales Overview Cube (0SD_C03) have "duplicated" Restricted Key Figures. Neither myself nor my query designer has created them. Example:
Z0COST_1
Z0COST_2
Z0COST_3
Z0COST_4
Has anyone else encountered this problem?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Michael;
If you have copied your query the restricted key figures and calculated key figures would also be created automatically with sequential order _2, _3, _4 and so on. Pls check you might have copied the query. In this case I would recomend you to create structures.
Hope this helps.
