Filtering cost center members in HFR point of view

Is it possible to setup a Hyperion Financial Report to filter members of a Cost Center dimension so that users only see in the POV member selection the members they have been provisioned access to? I have a cost center dimension of over 1000 cost centers, yet the POV does not filter out only the members applicable to my end user's provisioned access. For example, my Finance manager sees the entire cost center hierarchy, yet I only want him to see his few cost centers. Any suggestions?

It can be done with an essbase connection but you have to update the filters created to change from read to metaread or duplicate the read row and make it metaread, not a nice process but it can be achieved.
I still don't understand why metaread has not been implemented with planning filters.

Financial Reporting: Base members of Current Point of View for Entity

How do you typically handle reports in which you'd like to show all base members of the current point of view, but also allow the user to select a base entity?
Example A: Base members of Current Point of View for Entity
User selects a base entity: report errors
User selects a parent: report functions as expected and shows base entities
Example B: Base members of Current Point of View for Entity (Inclusive)
User selects a base entity: report functions as expected and shows the base entity
User selects a parent: report shows base entities (as expected), but also shows the parent entity (which we do not want to see)
I think the last case listed is what we want, but is there any way to just show the base entities? Like an advanced suppression option or something I'm missing.
Thanks.

Unfortunately, we don't have anything that uniquely identifies our base entities (close, but not all of them). However, the report does work as desired by using the following for entity, set in the advanced properties:
Base members of Current Point of View for Entity (Inclusive) AND Bottom of hierarchy Entity
This will allow the user to select either A) parent or B) base entity from the hierarchy and the report will show either A) base entities of the parent (not the parent) or B) the base entity.
Not sure why this works and all the other things attempted did not, but as long as it works. Also tried conditional formatting on Level, but that always threw a level 0 (for both base and parent).

Cost Center not flowing in the GL view

Hi Friends,
The users have made the entries in the system and defined the Cost centers in the respective fields, while posting the documents. However, when we run the GL Report thru FAGLL03, we notice that the Cost Centers do not get displayed in the Report. On further checking the documents posted we find that the cost centers are maintained in the 'Entry View' but these do not flow to the GL view. This is resulting in the values not getting picked up in the Report Painter Form which is based on the table FAGLFLEXT. How can we chek and waht needs to be done on the config side to enable the values to be flown in the GL view as well and get maintained in the table FAGLFLEXT.
Thanks for the Help.
Regards

Hi Nikhitha,
As advised by Guarav earlier, the cost center scenario has been maintained and in the GL Cost center field has also been included. But still the cost center is not displayed in the GL view.
Is there anything else to be checked in this case.

Hi
Yes you can use S_ALR_87013611 for multiple periods..... if you want to see only one period you can see S_ALR_87013614. In the left side you can see the cost centers list click on each cost center .. on the right side you can see the cost centers balances with cost element wise.

Cost Center & WBSE

Dear All,
I have requirement for one project as follows:
I have created one project & planning costs in WBSE/Network,
posting the costs via GR / GI.
These costs are shown on WBSE (Report: S_ALR_87013532).
I want to see these costs on Cost Centers also.
But it is not showing cost on cost center.
What do I need to do?
Sanjay

Dear Sanjay
This can be handled by customizing the account assigment category "P" or what ever used in the PR/PO/GR/GI mandatorly asks for Cost Center also. Then the costs will flow to the cost center also. But this will be real posting and again needs to be settled or else make the WBSE/NWE as statistical.
SPRO > IMG > PS > Material > Control of sales order related production > Check account assignment categories. make cost center mandatory.

Change cost center in migo

Hi all!
I would like to know if it is possible to chage the cost center that was set in the purchase order in the migo transaction. Becuase the view I get from the cost center field is the not changeable view.
Thanks

Dear Pablo
you can change the GL code and cost center through GR but see what the effect is
1. if the MIRO done throgh GR no. then it will get the effect in your changed Cost center
2. if MIRO done with PO refecence then the account department didnt get the changed cost center.
it is good practice not to change the cost and gl account to the existing one because it effect in the account department
if user mistaken entered the cost center then ask the same to the user to change.

AUTHORITY-CHECK on cost center

We have set the authorisation (using object cost center) to time admin such that they can maintain leave for certain group of the user.
The question is now how to program the abap code so that my customised leave report can validate the authorisation to ensure that when he generate the leave report, other those employees who are in the cost center that he is authorise to view is listed?
Appreciate if you can share the code.

Hi,
see the help link also.
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/9f/dbaccb35c111d1829f0000e829fbfe/content.htm]
program an AUTHORITY-CHECK.
AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT <authorization object>
ID <authority field 1> FIELD <field value 1>.
ID <authority field 2> FIELD <field value 2>.
ID <authority-field n> FIELD <field value n>.
The OBJECT parameter specifies the authorization object.
The ID parameter specifies an authorization field (in the authorization object).
The FIELD parameter specifies a value for the authorization field.
The authorization object and its fields have to be suitable for the transaction. In most cases you will be able to use the existing authorization objects to protect your data. But new developments may require that you define new authorization objects and fields.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/52/67167f439b11d1896f0000e8322d00/content.htm
To ensure that a user has the appropriate authorizations when he or she performs an action, users are subject to authorization checks.
Authorization : An authorization enables you to perform a particular activity in the SAP System, based on a set of authorization object field values.
You program the authorization check using the ABAP statement AUTHORITY-CHECK.
AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'S_TRVL_BKS'
ID 'ACTVT' FIELD '02'
ID 'CUSTTYPE' FIELD 'B'.
IF SY-SUBRC 0.
MESSAGE E...
ENDIF.
'S_TRVL_BKS' is a auth. object
ID 'ACTVT' FIELD '02' in place 2 you can put 1,2, 3 for change create or display.
The AUTHORITY-CHECK checks whether a user has the appropriate authorization to execute a particular activity.
This Authorization concept is somewhat linked with BASIS people.
As a developer you may not have access to access to SU21 Transaction where you have to define, authorizations, Objects and for nthat object you assign fields and values. Another Tcode is PFCG where you can assign these authrization objects and TCodes for a profile and that profile in turn attached to a particular user.
Take the help of the basis Guy and create and use.

CostingSheet -Cost Center in Credit tab will not transport Client to Client

I need help from the gurus. I made the following changes in my Development Client and attempted to transport them to the QA client for additional testing.
1. Used KZE2 (Component Credit)
2. Selected the credit I wanted to change and selected "Details"
3. Changed the Cost Center number
4. Selected Table/View
5. Selected Transport, Selected the line I changed
6. Selected "Include all in transport"
7. Save.
The transport did not move from the Development Client to the QA client. What happened?

I have resolved the issue. In the process of changing the existing cost center, I deleted the entire line which contained the old cost center and entered a new line with the new cost center. For some reason the transport did not like this method. I re-entered the line and include the new cost center for both. The transport worked then. Not sure why though.
Cheers

I need to distribute cost center data through change pointers
Can anyone please tell me the steps i need to follow
please dont give links, but would be helpful if some1 can tell me step by step
and how to do testing, ie which tables i need to check to see whether my change pointers are working or not.
Thanks in advance

Manu

Hi manu,
1) Goto transaction BD61 check if the checkbox is checked
2) Goto SM30 table V_TBDA2 click maintain enter message type and check the checkbox
3) Goto transaction BD52 enter Cost center message type
(COSTCENTER_CHANGEMULTIPLE/COSTCENTER_CREATEMULTIPLE/ any custom one) which you are using and create an entry object CMDT_CC table CMDTCC_ALL field * (all fields/ list of fields you want) .
Change pointers are created you can use this for distribution of IDocs

Cost Center data Extraction from R/3

Hello,
I am using extractor 0CO_OM_CCA_1 to get CO data into BW-BPS. After examining the resulting data into BW, I have a a problem: The customer uses movement types JVIV, RKIV, RRIV in R/3 for some of their cost centers, and they want those movements to be excluded from the extraction. However, I can see no valid filtering possibilities at the extractor....
Do you know how I could make this filtering?
Many thanks in advance for your help,
Eduardo.

Hi Gianfranco, thanks for your reply
I am stuck at this point because when data is extracted from R/3 into BW, there is a "conversion" for such "movement types", in which the system maps those values I mentioned from table COSP_VTYPE in R/3 into something like the following in BW:
Table RSTVTDETAIL:
VALUETYPE MEASTYPE VTDETAIL TXTSH                TXTMD
010       001000   01       Primary Costs        Primary Costs
010       001000   02       CO-Transfer          CO-Transfer
010       001000   03       CO-Allocations       CO-Allocations
010       001000   04       CO-Activ. alloc.     CO-Activity allocations
010       001000   05       CO-Settlement w act. CO-Settlement with activity flow
010       001000   06       CO-Settl. wo act.    CO-Settlement without activity flow
The problem is, I cannot find a correspondent value for those JVIV.. from R/3, and thus, all data is displayed as a total. What I intend is to separate entries related to those COSP_VTYPE values and exlude them from budgetting...
The final objective for this one is (I will try to explain it without a specific technical knowledge of financial vocabulary), that It is a requirement that imputations to a cost center that come from other cost centers, are not displayed for the former.
Any help will be appreciated. Thank you very much in advance
Regards,
Eduardo.

HR PNP Logical Database Using Cost Center selection: error!?

Hi all,
I'm using PNP logical data base and using the selection-fields available through HR Class Reports (a copy of PAY_DEF) but what happens is if in selection-screen I fill the personnel number say 1000, i get the payroll data I'm trying to get, but if i use the search field cost center of that exact person i get nothing. Does anyone has a clue on what i might be doing wrong? Because all the other search fields work, company code, HR area, everyone, but cost center, and I'm positive that i use the right cost center.
Thanks in advance,
Paula

Even though nobody answered me, i finally found the solution for my problem. so and because someone might need it here it is:
Go to Spro->Personnel Management->Human Resources Information System->Reporting->Adjusting the Standard Selection Screen and then:
1st Create Report Categories and
2nd Assign Report Categories
Since not all rep. categories on the 1st assignment is explicit on how will sel screen appear i advice you to go to the 2nd point, and execute some of the programs that appear there, and that might look alike to what you are looking for, and if you are so lucky as to find one exact use the same report category in your program, if its very alike, well, copy the Report Category into one of your own and change it the way you need it to be.
Hope this be helpfull for someone.

Function modules or BAPI for deleting plan costs on a cost center

Hi all,
I search for a function module or bapi to delete plan costs / activity on a cost center.
At the moment I update the planning with 0, but that cause a mass of needles entries on the cost centers.
For check and posting I use the function group 6026 - BAPI_COSTACTPLN_* ,
but there is no function for deleting.
Has anyone an idea?

How to run GR55 reports in background for cost center hierarchies

1. I have been asked by our users to create batch jobs to run in the background for some GR55 reports, that can then be sent directly to cost center managers via email.
I have figured out the process to do this as long as the cost center manager only needs to see a single cost center at a time. However, if they are in charge of multiple cost centers, we also want to send them a summarized report using the hierarchy we have set up. I can't seem to make this work, as the job only seem to recognize the last cost center in the group and the report is for that cost center.
Example. cost centers 100, 200 and 300 belong to hierarchy abc. If I run the job just for cost center 100 it is fine. But if I have a variant to run hierarchy abc, or even if I use the range 100 to 300, all I get is a report for cost center 300.
We cannot use BW because we only have revenue in BW. I am being asked to make this work from standard R/3 within the GR55 realm of reporting.
2. In addition, the report selection criteria includes two separate plan/forecast versions. They need to update these each month prior to running the reports and sending them out. I looked at the variables associated with the versions and tried to set them up with default values that I hoped would update automatically so that they don't have to manually change 50 or so variants each month. But I don't see any dynamic variables that I can use to have the system make that change without going into each variant individually.
3. There is another piece to this equation as well. There is another report they want sent out in batch, but it is several pages wide in SAP and several pages long. So when you run it in batch and either spool it or get it sent as an email, it is very ugly in the formatting due to all the page splits horizontally and vertically. If anyone knows how to get the report to stay together like it would if you had excel integration turned on, it would be very helpful. I have tried running it with that integration turned on, but the jobs are set up with user batch_mgr and not my id, so it isn't working well. The batch_mgr id is just a system id, not a dialog id. We also don't want the jobs set up with a regular user id because if people leave, then the jobs all need to be changed.

Kim,
I may have options for issues 1 and 2. In case of 3, what I can tell you is I understand the concern, but this is what typically happens in some standard CO reports that are not ALV compatible, I don't think there is not much there to do unless you add some custom code for the output.
In regards to point 1, yes, I have noticed that this happens in some standard and custom reporting, not sure what is going on. I came up with a work around that made the trick for my client in a similar scenario; which is editing the cost center groups. For instance, instead of having the group set as a range from 100 to 300, the groups are have listed the cost centers, 100, 200 and 300. Obviously, the disadvantage of this option is that it would require a bit of more cost center group maintenance.
In regards to point 2, I understand from your note that your users already have set up selection variants for the report. One option for you is to get the help from a developer to create a custom period variable and tiny program that runs in batch every month that would update that variable accordingly. Once that's done, you may have to update at least once, the selection variant attributes to change the period to a selection variable, so everytime from that point of time forward that the variable gets updated, it will be ready with the right value for every selection variant that uses it.
Hope this helps.
