Documentation for Formula Key Figure

Hi BW Gurus,
I have a Formula Key Figure which has been defined in a local key figure structure. This key figure is based on a two standard Key figures which exist in the Cube.
How can I create Documentation for this formula key figure, so that user can see documentation after right click in the Key figure in the query result.
I have tried followings, but did not work.
1) Go to Properities of the query and go to Documentation . In the next screen, create documentation directly using the technical name of the Formula key figure.
2) Go to Documentation in RSA1 and create documentation using the same way(technical name).
In the query result, I am getting error " Query element does not exist in database".
Thanks in advance.

hi ,
Probably you should go for Cell definitions. But if you use Cell definitions, then query will slow down. But if you need the way which you described, it can be acheived by cell definitions.
Hope it helps.......

Currency Translation for Calculated Key figures

Hello Friends I want to use the Currency Translation for Calculated Key figures.
But when I go to Query and go to conversion tab it is always greyed out. Does that mean we can set the fixed conversion type for calculated key figures. like ZSAD Total debit - credit -flow value.
What is the way to do fixed currency translation in query for calculated key figures.
All the below is done now just want to specify this in query but I can'nt since it is greyed out.
All the below is done
I have created a Currency Translation Type " FiscperConversion" "ZVHGR" now this has Exchange Rate Type from Variable "ZVARN" (Which is a variable single value manual input on 0RTYPE Infoobject for exchange rate.)
2. Now Currency Tab: Target Currency is selected from Variable placed in the Report. ZRPVAR.
3. Now the Variable Time Reference is used. Standard Infoobject 0FISCPER
which is beginning of period.

Hi soniya
Your calculated KF is result of some calculation ...so system will not allow u to do any translation on it...to get CT on CKF you should do it on base key figure...still if you wish to do then you can create a formula variable having processing type a customer exit...write code in cmod to rad exchange rate and multiply ur CKF by this formula variable....
Thanks

How to create Variables for the Key Figures

Hi All,
How to create Variables for the Key Figures
Thanks
Bhaskar

Hi,
It is not possible to create the variables on Key figures directly. But we can create a formula variable with processing type 'User Entry' ,SO that the user entered value can be used in the calculations of the query.

No split for particular key figure while "Time Distribution in Update Rule"

Hi experts,
I wanted to have data in the infocube at day level. Currently it has only week level data. So I used "Time Distribution in Update Rule". Due to this am able to split 0Calweek data at 0calday.
But while using "Time Distribution in Update Rule" all key figures are getting split by same way. For e.g. key fig1 has week level data as 100. so after getting split in calday, it is apperaring as (100/7) 14.285 . for every day.
But i dont want to happen this split for every key figure. For some key figures value "100" should be as it for every field in calday. for e.g. 100 should not get divided by 7 and posted as 100 only for all seven days.
How can i achieve this? Is it possible if i write formula or routine for particular key figure so that split should not take place for that particular kay figure? Or is there any other to keep exception?
Please help.
Thanks

Hi,
This is one of the limitation of Time Distribution that you can not have it by individual key figure. Check the below article for more information,
[http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/e0e1096a-e058-2c10-06b7-c66f9a82a9c8?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true]
I think in this case you will have to write individual routine for each key figure instead of Time Distribution approach.

BEx report -two different calculations for a result for one key figure how?

All,
Maybe someone could help me with the following, we have a requirement to setup for one key figure two calculations for result rows. One result (average) for one level, and on a higher level -grand total have a (sum), as for our business it makes sense to do it this way. We have setup average for this KF, we get correct results (see below values 7,5 & 6,5) however for the grand total (across multiple products) so for one level up we need to have a different calculation. How could we achieve this?
Here is an example:
location     product          inventory
AAAA     11111          5
AAAA     11111          5
AAAA     11111          10
AAAA     11111          10
AAAA     Result          7,5      ---> average
AAAA     22222          5
AAAA     22222          6
AAAA     22222          7
AAAA     22222          8
AAAA     Result          6,5       -
> average
AAAA     Result (across products)          14      ---> here I want to have a sum of averages

This could be achieve only IF you upload a hierarchy for product inventory with different levels, wherein each level show subtotals and finally grand total will be shown at the end of the results.

Difference between Formula, Formula Key Figure & Formula Variable

Hi Experts,
I have a basic question in my mind:
1) What is the difference b/w Formula, Formula Variable, Formula Key Figure?
2) What is the difference b/w Selection, Filter and Restriction?
Can you pls explain with some scenarios? That will be helpful.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
You are right, these are basic questions and can be learnt just by a little bit searching.So search the forum before posting such questions please.
Nevertheless :
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BI/CalculatedKeyFigure+RestrictedkeyfigureFilter
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/61/d0b143aa26b849b4e79a859ea1d7d1/content.htm
Scenario:
You want to see the revenue that you get from Product A,B,C in the country of D and E.You also want to calculate a bonus value that will be given to distributors and this revenue will be calculated based on the user's input.E.g user inputs 5 and you give 5% of the sales to distributors.Then here, to get the input 5 and TO USE IT IN THE FORMULA ,you must create a formula variable.You also must a have key figure revenue to see the revenue of course and a calculated key figure(or a formula) called bonus value = formula variable*revenue/100 to calculate the bonus which will be given to distributors.
The other thing you must do is restricting product with A,B,C and country by D and E just by right clicking on them in query designer.What remains is the selection.Let's say you also want to see the total sales of A and B.Then create a selection in the columns then restrict it by dragging and dropping A and B and the key figure revenue.
By the way, filter(tab) is used to restrict the data coming from cube and affects everything in the report(in contrast to the restricting selection, because restricting selection affects only the selection, not other fields of the report)

Creating Formula Key Figure in BEx 3.5 Query

Hello,
I'm trying to create a formula key figures that gives me the Absolute Value of the Difference of two quantities. The calculation needs to happen at each plant/material level. It works great as long as you drill down by plant/material. The users, however, would like to see the results only by plant.
Is this possible in the query?
Any Help Would Be Greatly Appreciated!
Thanks!
Tina

Hello,
Please try the following steps:
In the query go to Hierarchieparameter and select expand till level and select secound level and check the results.
Thanks.

ABAP-Coding for EVERY Key figure in infocube 0RT_C02

Hello gurus;
      Does anybody know which is the reason for Abap-coding for every key figure in infocube 0rt_c02 from InfoSource 2lis_13_vditm?
Thanks in advanced!
Csr

Hi,
this is done like this in the business content because the extractor is providing the data with a process key; this process key is then translated into meaningfull business objects (key figures);
fro instance ProcessKey 202 in application SD is reflecting Credit memos:
* Credit Memo
IF COMM_STRUCTURE-PROCESSKEY = '202'
    AND COMM_STRUCTURE-BWAPPLNM EQ 'SD'.
* currency convert
    IF COMM_STRUCTURE-COST <> 0.       "Value in document UNIT
      PERFORM LOC_CURR_CONVERT
        USING    COMM_STRUCTURE-COST   "Value in doc UNIT
                 COMM_STRUCTURE-TRANS_DATE     "Date for exchange
                 COMM_STRUCTURE-DOC_CURRCY     "Document Currency
                 COMM_STRUCTURE-LOC_CURRCY     "Local currency
*                COMM_STRUCTURE-EXCHG_RATE     "Exchanging rate
                 COMM_STRUCTURE-/BIC/ZEXRATEAC "Exchanging rate Acctn
        CHANGING RESULT.
* the KPI's must be turned to positive because the SD-extractors
* allways deliver them neg. if it's a process back (e.g. return order)
      RESULT = RESULT * ( -1 ).
      UNIT = COMM_STRUCTURE-LOC_CURRCY.
* if the returncode is not equal zero, the result will not be updated
      RETURNCODE = 0.
    ELSE.
* if the returncode is not equal zero, the result will not be updated
      RETURNCODE = 4.
    ENDIF.
ELSE.
* if the returncode is not equal zero, the result will not be updated
    RETURNCODE = 4.
ENDIF.
the above routine is quite self explaining the code.
hope this helps...

Property u201Czero allowedu201D must be identical for all Key Figures.

I am having the following error message when trying to run a Statistical Forecast in the Background. The job cancels out and I receive the error message: Property u201Czero allowedu201D must be identical for all Key Figures.
When I look in RSA1 under Key Figures Details "zero allowed" appears to be checked for all Key Figures. Can anyone point me in the correct direction I've already tried searching and did not find the answer.
Thanks.

HI,
The setting is not in RSA1 but is in /SAPAPO/MSDP_ADMIN - Administration of Demand Planning and Supply Network Planning
choose the relevant Planning area right button click on the Planning area choose change key figure settings. From here you can check the flag Zero allowed for the key figure that Stat. FCST is generated.

Create Badi for Virtual Key Figure

Hi experts,
i have to create badi for virtual key figure in BIW for dat i m creating Badi in BI development but its asking for Access Key.
Badi name is RSR_OLAP_BADI
i want to know while creating classic Badi with Implementation Name do developer need access key or thr any othr way to develop Badi for Virtual Key Figure.
Tell me for creating virtual key figure in biw we use Badi and for dat we have to create the Badi in BIW Dev. or in R/3 Dev.
it first time dat i m creating BAdi.

Calculate total and average for same key figure

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement where I need to calculate total and average for same key figure no of employees.
eg:
If I enter 03,2009 as Input the reuslt should give from financiual year starting to current month.
     11.2008      12.2008     1.2009     2.2009     3.2009        average
         11          10       12       10        10         10.6
         10         10       11       12        10         10.6
total         21         20       23       22        20          21.2
we have only one characteristic in rows... companycode.
Waiting for your Inputs.
Regards
Prasad Nannuri

no it will work for u
you have to use variable on 0calmonth or fiscal period depending on what Time characteristic u are using.
lets say that variable is zcalmonth
it is based on 0calmonth for e.g.
now u restrict keyfigure with this variable zcalmonth with time char. = 0CALMONTH
copy and paste the restricted keyfigure
now set offset for variable in variable selection screen dialog box = -1
repeat this until u want
make this variable mandatory
now at query execution user will select any value for month/year
and u will see all 5 months in result set
now there can be maximum 12 months in a year, so u end up creating only 12 restricted keyfigures.
use YEAR in restricted keyfigure too, and restrict it with YEAR VARIABLE processing by CUSTOMER EXIT = CURRENT YEAR
in this case it will automatically removes any additional values...
for e.e.g
YEAR = 2008 only
User entered 6/2008
so lets say ur financial year starts in april 2007 and ends in april 2008
so u expect to see
4/08
5/08
6/08
but u created 12 restricted keyfigures , so it will show upto
4,5,6 months only

Planning book values for certain key figures show doubled up numbers

currently on SCM 7.0, we are facing a strange intermittent issue of doubled up values in planning book for certain key figures when compared to the underlying Infocube.
This happens when the Input process step happens, some times when the process step fails in chain and is run again.
After its run then we load data to the planning book , then when the key figures show up for the current week bucket they show Doubled up values
We tried to run a consistency check /SAPAPO/OM17 (DP time series option) but no result.
Can anyone mention what could be the reason ?

Hi,
Please check the data in the cube for the codes . There could be double request for the same keyfigure. When you copy from cube whatever value avilable in the cube gets into Planning book.
Transaction : LISTCUBE
Solution : Delete the old request and check the value agina in cube. Execute the TSCUBE.
Thanks,
Jeysraj

Exception aggregation for calculated key figure

Is it possible to have exception aggregation for calculated key figure in BW 3.5? As per Note 1151857, it is possible, however this note applies to BI 7.0.
As per note 152638, it is possible in older version only simple ckfs like 'CKF = Base key figure'.
Is there any workaround to define exception aggregation for complex CKFs in BW 3.5?
My requirement is like this -
CKF = (sales quantity - forecast) %share (sales quantity).
Aggregation for CKF over time should be sum whereas, for all other characteristics calculation of CKF should be done after aggregation(normal scenario).
So, defining exception aggregation of CKF as 'Summation' over time should fulfil my requirement.
I can not use calculate result as 'summation' setting for CKF because of following design of report.
Report contains structure(characteristic)
Elements of structure are -
Last 3 months(April - June)
Last 3 months - 1 (Mar - May)
Last 3 months - 2 (Feb - Apr)
and so on...
When data is aggregated for each element of structure, base KFs will be aggregated and calculations will be done on that.
Changes in the backend are also not possible because, normal aggregation of CKF-alike in backend will be summation for all characteristics.
Is there any way in BW 3.5 to model such a scenario?
Thanks and Regards,
Anup Kulkarni

Sum of individual values of CKFs is not same as the Calculation on 'sum of basic key figures(result of basic key figures)'. - Yes, you are right.
I need to aggregate CKF over time as SUM. However, calculation for result of all other characteristics should be based on results of basic key figures and not the 'Sum of individual values of CKF'. -
What i understood is that whenever the time char is in row, then result should be simple on the sum what ur getting but when other char are there then it should go for calculation based on the sum of key figure.
If im not wrong in getting ur point.
How can two differenct activites be perofrmed on same key figure depending on the characteristic .....!. For this u have to think some other possibility or let somebody else update the thread.
