Dynamic Lead Columns

We have a requirement where users need to enter 3 Key figure values for 3 periods against 0MATERIAL. The layout should show as follows:
MaterailKeyFigureMonth1Month2Month3
SKU1----KF125--20----20
SKU1----KF25 USD-5 USD---6 USD
SKU1----KF32---2-----2
SKU2----KF150--15----5
Planning level contains, 0MATERIAL, 0FISCPER3 and the three Key figures. In the manual planning layout, I have selected "Key Figures in Lead Column" with 0MATERIAL in the lead column and 0FISCPER3 in the data column. In the additional settings, I have chosen "From Transaction Data" and "Lead Columns Dynamic for" 0MATERIAL - Text Replacement "Key". In the next step, I have entered the three key figures and checked the "Dynamic" checkbox. In the data columns I have selected the required 0FISCPER3. Executing this layout is resulting in a dump with the "MESSAGE_TYPE_X" C "SAPLUPP_PLAN" or "LUPP_PLANU05" "UPP_PLAN_COMPLETE_LAYOUT" and "layout_Corrupt". What am I doing wrong here?
I need the layout to show as represented above. How do I achieve the desired result? I will assign points for the helpful posts.

Partially resolved. It looks like I need to restrict 0MATERIAL in the planning level if I use "Dynamic" option!! I have used the ROOT node of the hierarchy on 0MATERIAL in the planning level and I am able to open the template. BUT THE MAIN PROBLEM IS STILL UNRESOLVED. I want the layout to show
HeadingMonth1Month2--Month3
SKU1KF125--20----20
SKU1KF25 USD-5 USD---6 USD
SKU1KF32---2-----2
SKU2KF150--15----5
SKU2KF21 USD-3 USD---2 USD
But it show up as follows:
HeadingMonth1Month2--Month3
SKU1KF125--20----20
SKU2KF150--15----5
SKU1KF25 USD-5 USD---6 USD
SKU2KF21 USD-3 USD---2 USD
I need to have the rows ordered by SKU and not by Key figures. Hope my explanation is clear. I will assign points to the helpful posts.
PS - I can move Months into "Lead Columns" and "Key Figures" into Data Columns so that the Key Figures are there all by themselves, but that is not an option either.

Dynamic Lead column repeats the same value

Hi, I have a dynamic lead column with reporting groups attached to them. Also, I have date column in the data column which is also dynamic. In the layout the reporting group field shows only the first entry in the variable and repeats itself. When I enter the data and save it, data is saved in the right reporting groups...If I replace day with week(and no further changes in the layout) reporting groups show up...is it something to do with date field?
Reporting Group       01/01/2008      01/02/2008 01/03/2008
1                               $100                $ 120          $ 150
1                               $110                $ 130          $ 160
In the database it shows the second line reporting group as 2(which I want) but in the layout it shows up as 1.
How can I make it show the correct value. Thanks,
Bulusu

Hi,
When any of the dynamic lead columns or data columns you select them as dynamic, automatically the Infoobject is filled by the system and it would be greyed out. Copy the same infoobject like 0FISCPER, 0FISCYEAR and paste in the Description of the layout (for that dynamic column). Then it will pick up on its own.
Otherwise if you put your own description like date, month and year etc. for all the columns or rows, as the case may be, it will give similar description.

Dynamic lead columns based on chars with compounding

Hi folk,
I have char 0WORKCENTER. This char has componding with 0PLANT. Can I build dynamic lead columns based on 0WORKCENTER in the planning format?

Hi Dmitry,
it should work as long as 0plant is restricted to a single value (in level or header).

Dynamic Lead Columns / Data Columns

Hi
I want to use dyanmic data columns restricted by a characteristic relationship of another variable.
When I use the characteristic as a lead column, it works perfect, I only see the rows for valid lines.
When I use the characteristic as a data column, I see all possible characteristic values of that characteristics. The ones that are not valid are not ready for input, the ones that are valid are ready for input.
I would like to use dynamic data columns but only display the columns with a valid characteristic relationships (just the way it works when I put the characteristic in the lead column)
Should that work?
Thanks

Enable Zero-Suppression on your column structure. Then in your Query properties, enable zero-suppresion for columns. That way only characteristic values with data will be shown and not all possible characteristic values present in the master data tables. I should note that there should be some data in the fact table which links the keyfigure to the characteristic value, otherwise it will be suppressed.

IP: Dynamic Data and Lead Columns

Hello,
In IP, there is not such thing as "Dynamic Data and Lead Columns" which we have used successfully in BPS. We have quite normal case where accounts are on rows and columns are defined as follows:
Column 1): KF Qty1, Period #, Year "Var Current year (single value)"
Columns 2-n): KF Amt1, Period "Var periods current year (multiple values)", Year "Var Current year"
Column n+1): Sum columns 2-n
Number of periods in variable "Var periods current year" is not fixed and maintained by superuser, so number of columns is somewhere between 3 and 14 (at least one open period, maximum 12, plus the Qty1 and Sum columns).
How would you fix this in IP?
Thanks for answers!
Aki

Hello Aki,
you could put the period into the columns as char.
if you make a selection to value # and the variable you will se as many columns as periods are selected in the variable plus the one column for #.

Grouping of chracateristics by using dynamic data columns

Hi all,
I want to create a BPS Layout (BW3.5) with the material in the lead column and a KeyFigures, the year and the salesgroup in the data column. The salesgroup is the dynamic characteristic.
Example:
I want to have:
SG1 2007/ SG1 2008/ SG2 2007/ SG2 2008...
What the system is doing is:
SG1 2007/ SG2 2007/ SG1 2008/ SG2 2008
My question is: how can I change the grouping of the columns from year to salesorg?
Can anybody help me?
Best regards,
Rainer

Hi Rainer,
Thanks for your appreciation.
I thought there is not material in your lead column, okay if your case like that i suggest you like this.
I suggest to .
To choose Layout Category:
1. Key Figures in Data Column
Define data column dynamically for : Sales Group
And make the fiscal year, and material as lead column.
In the data column tab, define the key-figures there and mark Dynamic checkbox.
Or if you want to group based on the fiscal year, you can make the fiscal year as you dynamic data column.
Hopefully it can help you a lot.
Best regards,
Niel.
thanks for the points you choose to assign.

Dynamic Data columns

Hi...
Here's my scenario. My layout is keyfigures in lead columns.
I want Calendar Year in the Header. I want the Calendar Year/Month (0CALMONTH) in data columns.
But, the data columns should be dynamically set to the 12 months of the Year I choose as part of the header combination. Example, I choose 2008 as header:
Layout should alow me to enter sales for all months of 2008. So, data columns should become:
Jan 2008 Feb 2008 Mar2008 Apr2008 .....
Sales
I'm open to ideas for other types of layouts also as long as the the months (0CALMONTH) are derived based on Calendar Year.
Thanks...

KJ, thanks for your response.
Dont mean to question your suggestion at all. But is that only way?
I mean to me deriving a calendar year month seems to be a normal practice.
But if thats the only way, could you please provide more insight and possibly an algorithm for the exit? never worked exits before in the cotext of BPS.
Thanks...

But still I have the same short dump.
Shoudl we raise any other components? Maybe you know note, which resolve this problem?

XML Publisher - Dynamic Data Columns Issue

Hi,
I am creating a amortization report where I need to show the amortization schedule for unearned revenue. Customers have signed different years of contract and I need to show the amount as per their remaining contract months. So if there are 2 month remaining in the contract then I should show the data for 2 months only and if there are 10 months then I should display 10 months. If we run the report for both customers then it should display two lines in report. For first customer the data should be only for 2 months and for second row(customer) there should be data for next 10 months. These months should be columns in the report(like excel columns, not rows). I need to display all months in columns instead of rows.
I have acheived that using Dynamic Data Columns as mentioned in the user guide. Everything is working fine except following issues -
1. How to create page level total?_
I have created page total in my template using <?add-page-total:TOTUREV;'UREV'?> and displaying using <?show-page-total:TOTUREV?> but when I run the report in excel format these page total do not display. These columns are static columns not dynamic.
If I run the report in pdf format then the static column total is displayed correctly.
2. When I run the report in excel format then report run fine and it shows all the columns properly but if I run the report in pdf format then the dynamic column are not displayed in their own columns, all the columns are overwriting each other in a single columns itself, its not expanding.
3. How do I get the total for the dynamic columns?_
I need to display the page level total for the dynamic columns also, how do I do that?
4. When I run the report in excel format the 2 decimal places of the numbers are gone(it works fine in pdf output), like 12.50 becomes 12.5 and 14.00 becomes 14. I need to maintain those 2 decimal places. I have tried using <fo:bidi-override direction="ltr" unicode-bidi="bidi-override"><?format-number:CVALUE;'999999D99'?></fo:bidi-override> but this does not solve my problem completely. It shows the values correctly in excel but then I am not able to do any calculation on those columns, looks like it converts them to text values.
Any help is really appreicated. Please let me know if you need the xml template and data file.
Regards
Hitesh

Hi Hitesh,
Can you please upload your RTF and XML template file? I will try to spend sometime on this issue.

Error in executing a layout which has a hierarchy in lead column

Hi Experts,
I have used a planning level where a characteristic called 'reporting code' is restricted with a hierarchy.
Now when I am trying to execute a layout under this level I am getting some error. The characteristic is used in the lead column in this layout.Two differene type of error I am getting in following two different cases.
1. When I am using the hierarchical settings for the lead column then I am getting the error 'Hierarchy INPUT is not suited to the planning mode.
2. When I am not using the hierarchical settings for the lead column then I am getting the error 'Too many characteristic combinations for manual planning'.
If I reduce the no of nodes in the hierarchy for testing then none of this error is coming. So I think this is related to the volume of the hierarchy.
Can anybody put some light on this why this error is coming and how to resolve this error?
Regards,
Saikat Datta Gupta.

In case of text hierarchies, wherein we can plan only on leaves, for the layout to be displayed in a hierarichal manner, we need the following settings.
In the first screen of the layout builder, next to the layout description, click on the hierarchy icon, choose non-hierarchical data model and in the additional settings, all possible char combinations.
In the last screen of the layout builder, in lead column settings, check display totals as hierarchy.
With the above settings, layout shows the result in hierarchy mode.
In BPS layout, the no of rows will be limited. As you have given all possible combinations, system tries to display the entire hierarchy, i think which is exceeding the max limit. Try reducing the hierarchy size or keep the additional settings as "Transaction data" and check if the problem persists.

SUB Totals within a Dynamic Data Column

Has anyone ever calculated SUB Totals in a Layout with a Dynamic Data Column?
The TOTAL for all data is expressed on the Data Column tab of the Layout as C(1):C(1) - 0FISCPER / Posting Period is the Dynamic Characteristic. When the system actually displays the 12 columns of data for the Year, the formula for TOTAL is also adjusted - no problem here. But the user also wants SUB Totals, by Quarter, within the Year.
Any insight or suggections are appreciated !
Thanks,
Lyle

Hello,
use variables Q1, ..., Q4 for the quarters and create
data colums as follows
1 Q1 dynamic = X
2 Total C(1)
3 Q2 dynamic = X
4 Total C(3)
5 Q3 dynamic = X
6 Total C(5)
7 Q4 dynamic = X
8 Total C(7)
9 Year Total C(2)C(4)C(6)+C(8)

How do I change the width of a lead column in an enhanced layout ?

I have an enhanced layout in BPS that gets rendered in TPM (CRM2007) application.
I need to increase the width of a lead column in this layout. I saw a bunch of methods in a BADI UPX_LAYOUT_RENDER. There is one to manipulate XML and another to manipulate HTML. Are these my only options? or is there an easier way via config or another BADI?
Cheers
Vijay

Can you share if you have got a solution to this.

Report Painter - Display two characteristics on one line in lead column

I have a requirement to produce a Report Painter report to display values by Cost Centre and Cost Element.
The requesting user wants to see the Cost Centre AND Cost Element keys displayed on each row of the report, to allow for manipulation in Excel.
I have no problem grouping Cost Element within Cost Centre or vice-versa, but am not aware of any way of displaying both key values on each row in the lead column (or anywhere else).
Has anybody done this?

Hi Robin,
the request is not unusual. However, report painter does not allow for two key columns or a key column combining two characteristics. You might consider using SAP Query (with table COEP or COSS/COSP for aggregates) if you do not want to resort to developing the report in ABAP.

Additional Lead Column in Report painter

Hi Gurus
Please guide me how to add an additional Lead column in Report painter
Thanks
Hiren

Hi HIren,
There can be only one lead column in report painter.
However within the one lead column you can identify more than one characteristic - e.g. cost center and cost element. You can then identify that both characteristics should be exploded.
If you go Edit > Rows > Explode, you have the opportunity of identifying which characteristic takes presidence over the other, and how they expand. So in this example, Cost center will be 1 and cost element will be 2.
The output will be dependant upon your report layout, but you should have the layout so that you have:
Cost Center A:
- Cost Element A
- Cost Element B:
- Cost Element C:
Cost Center B:
- Cost Element A:
- Cost Element B:
- Cost Element C:
And to distinguish the cost centers from the cost elements, you can format the cost center row "Color for Totals"

Gaurav
