FInancial Business Content

Hi Gurus,
If I were to implement an FI Cube regarding the General Ledger. Which among the datasources in the business content can I use and do you have any white papers I can read regarding the loading procedures. Thank you in advance.
- Kit

You can use 0fi_gl_4 datasource and below given is the help.sap.com page about the same.

I found a how to guide to improve the runtime of this extractor. This might help.

  • BI 7.0 Business Content

    I have to activate Financial business content including GL(new) and AP.  I am wondering if the data flows have been converted to the 7.0 format?  I am wondering if anyone can point me to a list which clearly indicate which ECC business content is now delivered in the new 7.0 format?

    Hi,
    I think that only the new scenarios are in BI 7.0 formtat.
    The rest are in BI 3.5, if you would you can convert automatically with right buton over transfer rules, datasources, ...

  • Financial statement planning / Investment planning business content

    Dear all,
    Has anyone actually been able to make any of the standard business content for these areas work?  The content has been there for 6 years but still creates innumerable headaches.  I have managed to install the BC for e.g. financial statement planning based on cube 0SEM_C06.  I then loaded the data using program UPB_DATA_IMPORT.   This unfortunately was not sufficient for the majority of folders to work as the BC data provided did not cover the majority of infoobjects and contained none of the necessary hierarchies. I worked through the optios entries and generated the MD and hierarchies manually (though of course I have none of the texts or attribute information).  Despite doing all this I still find some of the functions do not work.  There are short dumps e.g. where it searches for planning functions that do not exist in UPF_PLNTP. 
    I see no notes on these problems, no SDN forums suggesting other people have run into these problems.  We are BW 2004S patch 9 so I can't believe it is a patch problem.
    Have I missed something in the ATS are which affects the set up of the master data and the available functions? 
    I would be very grateful for any comments of success stories or otherwise.
    Many thanks
    Heidi.

    Hi Andrew,
    Thanks for coming back to me. 
    We are not really intending to run using business content but want to activate it to use it as a guide on which to base our development.  What I am staggered by is how difficult it has been to make it work.  What I am wondering is: Are we having these problems because our system started off as a 1.2B BW system that has been upgraded all the way to 2004s? Are we missing table entries that we would have if we had started our BW system as a V 3.5 for example?  If another implementation has activated all the BC without problems I will go back to OSS and ask them to provide the missing entries.  If everyone has had the same problems I will soldier on.
    Thanks

  • Problem when activating Query from Business Content

    Hi Gurus,
    I'm currently encountering problems when activating a query (Financial Statement and P&L: Actual/Actual Comparison) in the business content under these 2 cubes (0FIGL_VC1 and 0FIGL_VC2). Since I was told that these cubes are Virtual Cubes I also have already activated Basis Cubes (0FIGL_C01 and 0FIGL_C02)  as a prerequisite of the 2 Virtual Cubes. I have also loaded the data for the 2 cubes and have encountered no problem at all.
    But while activating the said Query (Financial Statement and P&L: Actual/Actual Comparison). I have encountered a problem during activation and only this error message appears 1. Error when activating element DO9NE34DKNREWIBWNVAW8BS7M (Technical Name of the Query) and 2. BEx transport request '' is not available or not suitable.
    What other possible steps am I missing here?Is there anything else I should do or activate before activating the Query. Thank you again for all the help.
    - Kit

    Hi Kristian,
    Do the following ->
    Goto transaction RSA1 -> Transport Connection -> Edit -> Transport -> Switch On Standard.
    After this try activating your Query again.
    Hope this helps!

    Saurabh

  • Error in Query Activation from Business Content

    Hi Gurus,
    I'm having problems when I'm activating Query 0FIGL_VC1_Q0001 (Financial Statement and P&L: Actual/Actual Comparison) under Virtual Cube (0FIGL_VC1). Everytime I activate it, it displays these errors 1. Error when activating element 2GXNYXWAV1FOYLM46UJ2U2Q2D , 2. Error when activating element 2LOL3P78C15MAEBIFHL8MNR7R, etc.
    Then when I look at the query elements, I noticed that not all elements (Structure, Formulas, etc) are activated and it displays this message "Is existentially required by : 0FIGL_VC1_Q0001 [ELEM]". Although when I search for the elements in the Business Content to activate them it seems that these elements do not exists. Please advice. Thank You.
    - kit

    Hi
    Check if the Query : 0FIGL_VC1_Q0001 has all the Query Elemenst(Restricted Keyfigures, Calculated Keyfigures etc) have D version to install.
    You can also check in the Source System if all the Query Elements corresponding to the Query are transported in D-version.
    If something is missing do transport it agian.

  • Errors activating HR Business Content: cube 0PA_C01, ODS 0PA_DS02, 0PA_DS02

    Hello!!
    we are installing a IDES BW system for customer demos, training and so on.
    I am tying to activate all HR Business Content, and I began activating Personnel Administration.
    Every time that I am trying to activate HR Business Contentt objects, the following error message appears:
    Err.tmpo.ejec.         CALL_FUNCTION_CONFLICT_LENG
    Excep.                   CX_SY_DYN_CALL_ILLEGAL_TYPE
    Error in the ABAP Application Program
    The current ABAP program "SAPLRSAOS" had to be terminated because it has
    come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
    A function module was called incorrectly.
    An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
    The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_DYN_CALL_ILLEGAL_TYPE', was
    not caught in
    procedure "OSOA_UPLOAD" "(FORM)", nor was it propagated by a RAISING clause.
    Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
    exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
    The reason for the exception is:
    The call to the function module "RSA1_OLTPSOURCE_GET_ALL" is incorrect:
    In the function module interface, you can specify only
    fields of a specific type and length under "I_T_OLTPSOURCE".
    Although the currently specified field
    " " is the correct type, its length is incorrect.

    Best regards,

    Hi Sam,
    Please check whether datasources are installed and active in the source system.
    For remote activation you need role SAP_RO_BCTRA or authorization object S_RO_BCTRA in your profile.
    If not active, you can activate via RSA5.
    Afterwards, install the transfer rules again.
    If you are lower than SPS8, check note 929935.
    Hope this helps,
    regards,
    Olav

  • Additional BW Business Content on 3.5

    Hello Everyone,
    We are implementing a new Global BW system. In the latest version of SAP you can develop your own standard business content. This means any SAP partner or customer can develop additional business outside the SAP content. We are looking for partners of SAP or a marketplace where additional business content are offered.
    Can anyone please feedback if there is such a marketplace and/or where we can find it?
    Kind regards,
    Raymond
    PS: Currently I am looking for additional BW content, R3 extractors for Plant Maintenance but we need adds on all area’s.

    Hi Raymond,
    I think some contents that have been developed by software partners are:
    AC Nielson
    Ascential with their ETL snap pack (not sure about name) that has ETL mapping and BW for I believe Peoplesoft, Oracle Financial and one other (saw a demo a year and half ago so you need to look into updated info)
    PM is an area where the BW business content falls a little short but the issue is that people customize PM very differently.  A utility would be very different to a railway versus a regular manufacturer.
    I think status is one that has some issues on the last one.   Most client end up developing their own extractors based on their R/3 config but that involve good BW data modelling a one or more very good ABAPers.
    Hope this helps,
    Mary

  • Error while activating the business content object

    Hi guru,
    We have installed a new BI system, and hence we need to activate all the business content object as they are available in delivery version.
    So as there was an requirement i tryed to activate the business content object ,that is 0mat (MATNR) material number,
    but once done with the installation when i try to find the object and display it
    that is i select the object 0mat , context menu and say display or change it does not show the complete screen as it appears for a characterstic and gives a error
    "_settings for material number conversion not found"_*
    so please help me out what is the problem
    Thanks

    Thanks Subash Balakrishnan for replying,
    but let me inform you that i already did that as i need to install this object and now the object is showing with green instead of grey,
    Now my problem is that after selecting grouping and collection when i go to infoobject menu under modelling and find out the object 0mat, it shows in green , but as i need to observe the properties of this object like data type , length etc , i select the object 0mat and right click and select display,
    then instead of showing me the object properties screen it gives me the error as mentioned above,
    so as you say it has to be in active versoin , but i can not view the normal screen which appears after creating any object ,
    now i hope my problem is quiet explanatory so please help me.
    Thanks

  • Unable to 'set the default source system' to Install Business Content

    Hi,
    Maars here. This is my first post hoping that in future ones I'll also be lending a helping hand.
    I am trying to 'Install Business Content' under the BUSINESS CONTENT section in txn RSA1. I am doing this after 'Transfer Data Sources' in R/3 and I can now see all the data sources (under the application component hierarchy) for the source system. But I am not able to see the Info Objects in the Business Content.
    When I try to set R/3 as the default source system (got this screen after clicking a icon in the standard tool bar), BW is not saving the settings ie., I set the R/3 as the default and then click on OK. If I go back to the same screen again, I find that my settings were NOT saved.
    Could you please help me out?
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    It seems to be a bug in version 3.5.
    Do like this:
    After you open the screen to <i>choose the dafault source system</i>
    Clcik on 3rd button(F6) available in the bottom of the scrreen.
    And then select teh tick mark for required system.
    And then click on Continue button
    You have do this step before you drop the cube to right side of the cube.
    Ok, even after all these steps , if you reopen the screen you would not see Tick mark u have done just before. DONOT WORRY ABT it.
    Drag and drop required cube with dat flow before.
    Now you can see the Transfer rules with selected Source system only in the collected Objects.
    With rgds,

  • How to activate the Info object catalog in Business content

    Hi,
      While trying to activate the Info object catalog, I found that some of the info objects under this catalog was earlier activated by some other developer. I brought this catalog (0SALES_CHA01) over to the Business content activation panel ( with only 'necessary object settings ) and all the info objects that also came along  were de-selected since I didn't want to install those again). When I tried to install these I get an error indicating that some of the info object in question are not already active.. and ultimately the catalog doesn’t get activated , although more than half of its infoobjects are already active under the '0CHANOTASSIGNED' node.
    Please let me know whether I can get only the Catalog activated without getting any existing activated info object merged or installing those which are not already activated.
    Thanks
    Arunava

    Hello Arunava,
    Just drag the infoobject catalog as u did earlier to the left in the bus cont installation screen with "only necessary object" option.
    Dont try to deselect any object. Go ahead with the default options and install in background.
    Now you can check for the available objects in the catalog. if you have some objects missing, and available in unassigned node,double click on the newly installed infoobject catalog, select the required objects (which are not yet assigned to this) from the left side and bring them to the right side.
    this will make the unassigned objects assigned to the required catalog.
    Hope it helps..

  • Business content datasource enhancement

    Hi Experts,
    I am new to HR.
    We are implementing HR modules Personnel development and Personnel administration, while I was looking into business content extractors 0HR_PA_0 and OHR_PA_1, I found that there were only few fields in the extract structure but there were many fields in the cube.Do we need to enhance the datasources? how it works?. If anybody did the enhancement to these datasources, please give me the information with examples.
    Anita

    No, it is no necesary to enhance standard data sources. Those datasources extract, basically employee and date. Most infoobjects in cube are calculated from 0PERSON and 0EMPLOYEE attributes, having in count the date and employed extracted, because most in HR is time dependent.
    Assign point is usefull

  • Taking too much time incollecting in business content activation

    Hi all,
    I am collecting business content object for activation. I have selected 0fiAA_cha object,while cllecting in the activation but it is taking too much time and then it asks for source
    system authorisation and then throws error maximum run time exceded. i have selected data flow before there.
    What can be the reason for it.
    Please help..

    Hi ,
    You should also always try and have the latest BI content patch installed but I don't think this is the problem. It seems that there
    are alot of objects to collect. Under 'grouping' you can select the option 'only necessary objects', please check if you can
    use this option to  install the objects that you need from content.
    Best Regards,

    DataSources
    New DataSources have been created for NW 2004s BI Content Add-On 2 and SRM 5.0. These are described here, along with their extraction logic.
    The following graphic shows the data flow from the DataSources to the DataStore objects
    Structure
    Each DataSource has an extraction structure and a data extractor. Generally, this is an RFC-capable function module.
    There are two types of extraction: Specific extraction and generic extraction:
    Specific extraction is strongly oriented towards the data model of the BI System and the necessary extract structure. It executes DataSource-specific processing steps.
    The logic contained within the generic extraction is implemented centrally and can therefore be reused by the specific extraction modules. The generic extraction deals with access to the SRM database and is similar for each DataSource.
    Generic and specific extraction
    Extraction logic in detail
    Data extraction involves the following six function modules:
    InitLoad
    InitLoad is called as soon as an initial upload is started in the BI System. In other words, it is executed when data is loaded into the BI System for the first time. The module can restrict the data extraction according to filter criteria that were defined in BI during extraction (for example, extract the data for a particular timeframe). InitLoad packages the data before it is transferred to the BI System.
    DeltaLoad
    DeltaLoad is called when a document is modified in the SRM System. The module writes data that has accumulated since the initial loading to a delta queue.
    Data Collector
    The Collector reads the required data from the database in the source system. For performance reasons, the data is then buffered in system-internal tables. The tables have the same structure as in the database. This saves time and effort, because data conversion is kept to a minimum.
    Data Consolidator
    The Consolidator groups data that belongs together from a business point of view. The consolidated data is stored in internal tables and is prepared for further processing.
    Data Normalizer
    The Denormalizer prepares the source data for the BI System. It calculates key figures that are required for the report but are not contained on the database and converts data types in the source system to data types of the BI System. Depending on the BI data model, the system now decides how each row is filled with data.
    Data Mapper
    During mapping of the data, the system defines which fields of the denormalized data structure are assigned to the fields of the extract structure. In this way, flat and one-dimensional lines are generated from the data.
    The following table shows the technical names of the function modules of the individual DataSources:
