Financial Reporting prompt-Show only members as defined by security filter?

Hello all,
Maybe another simple question but i have been unable to perform this task so far-
We have created a security filter against the Company dimension in essbase, assigned it to a user, and that works ok.
We have a report that prompts the user to choose members from for the Company Dimension.
We would like this prompt to present the users only the members that are accessible per the security filter (i.e. al the descendants of the 'Northwest' member) for that particular user, since by default it presents all members of the Dim.
Is this possible to do?
Thank you very much for your help
Hector

I think what you want are METAREAD filters.Not that you're on Planning, but Planning goes to Essbase (eventually) and when it does so, it inexplicably uses READ instead of METAREAD -- it's the same issue.
Here's an overview of it: http://camerons-blog-for-essbase-hackers.blogspot.com/2009/07/fixing-plannings-filters.html
It should be as simple as clicking on the filter type dropdown in EAS to test if it works.

Financial Reporting Studio - Suppress Shared Members During Entity Prompt

I am trying to create a Financial Reporting Studio report where the entity members that are displayed as a prompt only reflect the entities the user has access to with only one occurrence in the list. I have tried the following scenarios with no luck.
In Workspace, the Financial Reporting Preference, the Setup User POV option "Member Selection Displays" is set to "Only Members I Can Access" and not "All Members Regardless of Access".
The Financial Report is set up so that the user is prompted for the Entity so they can select multiple entities to run the report.
This works fine, except this is also displaying the shared members in the alternate hierarchies when responding to the Entity prompt.
As part of Defining the prompt, I have included the main entity structure in the "Choices List" in hopes that the shared members wouldn't display as an option to select, but this ends up displaying all of the entities in the hierarchy overriding what is the Financial Reporting Preference (acts like "All Members Regardless of Access"). I have also tried the Union of "Suppress shared members" and "Same level as" a level zero entity, but I'm still seeing all of the members of the main entity hierarchy, rather than a list of entities the user has access to.
Is there a way to display all of the entities only once that a user has access to during a prompt for a report? I would greatly appreciate any advice. Thanks in advance!!

I don't think there's a native way to do this in HFR. How could it be done other than through creating a custom selection list? Okay, I guess that is one way but it hurts my brain to think about maintaining it unless it could maybe be done through IDESCENDANTS of 1 and 2.
Here are two other thoughts:
1) Write a report against the Planning (I could be wrong about you using Planning as you specify Essbase, but the question is in the Planning board) tables to get this information. I don't know how to do it, but I'm guessing with some SQL gyrations it should be possible.
2) Stick an attribute against hierarchies 1 & 2 and report on them that way. You the designer already know that they are related. More maintenance on the front end, but a surefire way to get the member list out.

Financial reporting prompts

Hi,
Could anybody help in this:
I have to create a report in Hyperion Financial Reporting based on the user prompt.
Suppose user enters Nov in the prompt for the Period dimension. I have to show data for Sep Oct Nov months in the report. I have done this using the offset functionality in the Relative member function.
Column A Column B Column C
Sep Oct Nov
Account 1100 1200 1300
But the problem is i am being asked to enter in *3* prompts for 3 columns instead of *1* prompt.
Could anybody help me in this. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I have a similar problem, but things are getting itchy here.
I have two seperate grids, one is using Planning connection, and other is using Essbase connection.
As a result I can not merge the prompts, even if they are exactly same in any aspect.
When I asked to Oracle via an SR, they replied me telling that, this is a known issue and will be fixed in the version 11.1.2.1, and also they are not giving any date.
Can you guys tell me if you have any workarounds for this.
By the way, I have to use two different grids with seperate connections because, first grid uses attribute dimensions (only available in Essbase connections), other one uses Planning Details like text data entry.

Essbase connection - POV in Financial Reporting prompts missing

Hi,
I'm connecting to Essbase using Financial Reporting, this report has 3 POV's. When I go to Workspace and run that report, I only see one POV. When log in as someone else, I see the 3 POV's expected. Does anyone ever encountered this? Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thank you.

Hi,
I had a similiar problem, but really not sure how close it is compared to yours.
My issue was, for a old report,I had 3 "user point of view" dimensions set up, but when I ran them on workspace, I had none of the user POV prompts coming up for selection. I identified that, the user point of view isn't working or not recognized by the report. so below is what i did to get them to work.
1. Navigated to "Dimension Layout" and moved the "user point of view" dimensions to "Pages". Saved it.
2.Then again reverted back the same dimension back to "user point of view" dimension.[Just did this to get rid of the report memory having the user point of view dimensions]
3.Unchecked Grid point of view [Incase if it is checked]
4.Navigated to Task->User Point of View, and for the 3 dimensions in the user point of view, select "Member from List" and for each dimension give more than one selection[ :) ], like sample below.
Dimension: report viewers may select Choices List
Hsp_Audits A Member from List Hsp_Rate_InputValue, Hsp_Rate_USD
Save the report, Try running the report from Workspace. This way i got all my user point of view prompts while running them in workspace.
Thanks,
Leo Jose.

VL10E report should show only sales order with complete stock

Hello Friends,
I have to make-to-order scenario. While creating a sales order the system proposes a delivery date based on the inhouse production day maintained in the material master.
In VL10E the system gives list of Sales Order for which delivery is due on that particular date. It does not check whether actually the material is really available on that date for the concerned sales order.
Is there any scope ( any config change or user_exit) which will show only the sales order with complete stock confirmed through production order in the VL10E report.
Regards
Debesh

Hi,
Check userexit LV50R_VIEWG02. If CF_SUBRC = 1 you will not see it in the list. For this purpose in the interfase you have the information in IS_VBEP. Set a break-point and check the conditions.
For more info check the Note 198137 - VL10: Customer-specific enhancements / user exits
I hope this helps you

Bex Report to show only latest record on report and then history

Hello Gurus,
Table 1:
Employee
Valid From
Valid To
Hours Perday
1900
01/01/2014
02/28/2014
8
1900
03/01/2014
03/31/2014
6
1900
04/01/2014
12/31/9999
4
Table 2:
I have above in DSO, On report I need to show the latest record without Valid From and Valid To Fields shown below.
Employee
Hours Perday
1900
4
And when user drags Valid From and Valid To field from free charac. it should show history as in DSO. I have leveraged 0VALIDTO customer exit processing variable with variable as "Value Ranges" >= Key Date so when query is executed if date entered is 04/01/2014 it should bring last record with Hours perday=4 and if date is entered as 03/01/2014 should bring two records with hours per day 6 and 4 and so on.
The problem on report is that the record being pulled is always latest but when Valid To and Valid From free characteristics are dragged on the report it still shows the latest record and no history. Is there a way that when key date is entered it should show latest record as per >= of that key date and when Valid from is dragged in to report it should display history prior to that key date?
Thanks,
Sam

Hi Sam,
You are almost in the right direction. A little fine tuning is required in your process
As you are dealing with Time dependent Master data, the ideal thing to use is "Key Date" in the query. But there is a limitation here. Key Date can show only single date's relevant master data. I mean if you enter 03.01.2014, only second record would be shown. Key date cannot work on Multiple dates or ranges to fetch historical data or multiple records accordingly.
To achieve your requirement, you should not use Key date in your query.
I have leveraged 0VALIDTO customer exit processing variable with variable as "Value Ranges" >= Key Date
The above idea is good. You should make Valid From as Cust exit(i_Step =2) processed and make it as User Entry enabled. So that user exit code can pick up values as per > = Valid From(User Entry Based). But this user exit will be picking historical records if user enters other than latest Valid from date. I mean no drilldown is required. You need to use Valid from in rows also, I believe.
Try this and let me know if you want any more inputs.

How to make the report shows only top level steps

HI,
I use many subsequences in my tests. I have no interest to see them in the report. How can I force the report to show only top level steps?
Thanks
Rafi

I needed to prevent 'Skipped' steps from appearing in my reports. One way to do this is to override the SequenceFilePostResultListEntry callback in the model. You do this by clicking on Edit and then Sequence File Callbacks and then find SequenceFilePostResultListEntry in the list and click the Add button.
Edit your new callback in your sequence file to check for a pre-condition. In my case I checked for Parameters.Result.Status == "Skipped" since that parameter is set to Skipped, Done, etc. based on the result.
If the condition was true then my only step in the callback was to set Parameters.DiscardResults = True. The TestStand model will then throw that result away when it processes the report. You could add a step for every type of data you wish to discard.
A second method that is easier to implement, but time consuming, is to select each step you DON'T want in your report and bring up the Properties for that step. Under the Run Options tab, deselect the Record Results box. That will keep the results of that step out of the report, but you have to do this for EVERY step you don't want to have reported. The first approach I provided acts to filter the results.
If you aren't sure what the Parameters.Result.Status will be, then set a breakpoint after that step is executed and scan the parameters when the sequence is halted there. You can then detect the actual text used as a result for that step, such as "Done" and can set your pre-condition appropriately.

Financial Reporting: Suppress pages for large sparse dimension combinations

Hello,
I am trying to create a Financial Reporting report that shows only pages that are populated with data, but the dimensions that I have on the page are fairly large and very sparse. There are 8,000+ combinations of sparse members, only of which about 120 have data populated and those 120 are what I want to return on my report. I can't call out the page member combinations individually as new combinations appear regularly and I want to avoid running maintenance on the report definition each time the data in the cube is refreshed. My report isn't executing, so I suspect it is running for each of the 8,000+ combinations before determining whether or not it should render each particular page. Does this behavior sound right? If so, is there a workaround or some other trick to get Financial Reporting to test for the presence of populated combinations before rendering the pages?
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Rob M
Synapse Group/Time, Inc.

You can achieve this by doing following:
1. Open report
2. Select grid (left top corner)
3. On 'Properties' window, select suppression
4. Select '#Missing' in 'Basic option' section.
Good luck & let me of the results.

Cost Centre report that shows all Tax Codes

Hi there,
We're trying to run a cost centre report that shows the tax codes relating to all expenditure, but Tax Code isn't an option in KSB1. Is there a way that it can be imported, or another report that we can use?
We need the tax code in order to be able to report on expenditure and tax paid / not paid for HMRC.
Thanks,
Michelle

Hi,
Cost reports KSB1 show only CO documents posted on cost centres. You can reconcile CO data with FI only for accounts which are relevant for CO, that is accounts defined as cost elements (normally, these are P&L accounts). If you want to see all CO documents, it's better to use KSB5 transaction as it shows all CO object postings, and not only cost centres. If you have some internal CO postings (manual postings, allocation, etc.), then they won't be shown in FBL3N and you have to consider this also.

CJI5 commitment line item report not showing po gross value

Dear All,
system is showing only net value in CJI5 report, actaully gross value of po must be reflected in CJI5 report and this happening in all po's like material, service's etc. example is as follows.
Example:
po net value: 1000
st 10%: 100
po gross value : 1100 (inclusive of all taxes, ed, disc. etc)
what could be the reason for not showing po gross value in commitment line item report.
Thanks & Regards,
Sandeep

Hi,
As far as i know the commitment report will never show you the value that is inclusive of taxes. It will only show the net value of the PO.
I just tried a scenario in my system by creating a PO for a net value of 3000 GBP and based on the tax code i entered system calculated a tax of 525 GBP. However when i check CJI5 report it shows only 3000 GBP as commitment and not 3525 GBP. This is how the standard system behaves, i believe. You can cross check this in the table COOI. The COOI table also shows the net value of the PO and does not include the tax amount in commitment.

S_ALR_87013543 report not showing line item correctly

Hi all,
The S_ALR_87013543 report or any other cost plan report not showing the line item report correctly.
eg When the S_ALR_87013543 report executed it showing 100 as a plan value against one of cost element when we double click and go to line item report it showing only one entry of 50 which is wrong.
when i checked the COSP table for the wbse with that cost element it has two entries with value type 1 and 29. value type 29 says value from sales order and 1 as plan .
My query is why S_ALR_87013543 report not showing the correct value or shall it not pick the value from value type 29.
regards
Shiv

Hi Preeti,
Thanks for the updates but one more issue. In one case COSP has a one entry for value type=1 with Busniess transaction SDOR but it was not shown in line item report. it says " no line item were selected". inspite of entry in COSP.
Screenshot of report attached,.
when i checked the drill down report for line item it says no line item found.
Any idea what went wrong

Financial Reporting: Current Month vs Prior Month Variance for all Entities

Silly/Easy Question:
How can I set up a grid in Hyperion Financial Reporting to show these columns for all entities- Current Month NIBT, Prior Month NIBT, Variance
So, the report would look like:
Florida Current Month, Florida Prior Month, Florida Variance...Georgia Current Month, Georgia Prior Month, Georgia Variance...Ohio Current Month, Ohio Prior Month, Ohio Variance
All I can get it to do at present is:
Florida Current Month, Georgia Current Month, Ohio Current Month, Florida Prior Month, Georgia Prior Month, Ohio Prior Month, etc.
Thanks!
Note: we have many entities, so hard coding them in the report is out.

Update: been working with Oracle dev on this. Seems FRS cannot produce a report such as this:
----------Entity-----------------------------------------Entity-----------------------------------------Entity
----------Curr Mo - Prior Mo - Variance----------Curr Mo - Prior Mo - Variance----------Curr Mo - Prior Mo - Variance
Account
Account
Account
Account
Account
The data can be extracted in other layouts, but this is one we'd like to utilize for Balance Sheet Variance analysis and Tax ETR reports.

Can we tell who is running Hyperion Financial Reporting?

We are using Hyperion Workspace, Planning and Financial Reporting. We just wonder whether there is a report or summary that can be used to monitor the FR report usage i.e. we can understand who are running a FR report at what date/time. A audit report or summary statistics can serve the purpose.
Thanks in advance!

I was interested in this too but it appears for Financial reporting you can only record logins to the database.
In Workspace go to Navigate/Administer/Event Tracking
In Event tracking you can audit system logins, database logins, Interactive Reporting, SQR Reporting, Job execution
It appears there is not an option for financial reporting?
JTSThanks!

1 User Prompt for 2 rows in Financial Reporting ?

Hello,
for 2 years, I am struggling with following-
we have very detailled (detailled in 2 or 3 dimensions - let's say here: CBU and CostCenter ) reports, which run very long
in order to give user the overview/total as well, we want to give the total over all 2 or 3 dimensions only
the user should be allowed to choose 1 or more values (CBUs) via user prompt
current workaround is to have 2 user prompts (1 for detailled combinations) and (1 for total) and asking the user to fill the CBU 2 times
if user is not chosing same CBU(s), then report is inconsistant:
as many people have to use dozens of values and because there is no select all/ deselect all function - the handling is very annoying for the users.
Sample Report Definition
...........................................Dimension 1...........................................Dimension 2
Row 1 (of report definition): Descendants of Prompt for CBUs..............Descendants of Costcenter
Row 2 (of report definition): Prompt for CBUs....................................Costcenter Total
by this, we get a sample output like this: (Projects are the level 0 members of CBUs in CBU dimension)
...........................................Project A from CBU I.....................CostCenter X...............50
...........................................Project A from CBU I.....................CostCenter Y...............20
...........................................Project B from CBU II....................CostCenter X...............10
...........................................Project C from CBU III...................CostCenter Z...............100
...........................................Project D from CBU III...................CostCenter X...............200
...........................................CBU I..........................................CostCenter Total..........70
...........................................CBU II.........................................CostCenter Total..........10
...........................................CBU III........................................CostCenter Total..........300
Problem is:
I would like to define for
Row 2 Prompt for CBUs
and for
Row 1 Descendants of Same as Row 2
but then I get the error "5200 : Error executing query: +Server+/+Application+/+Database+/+User+/Error(1001005) Unknown Member [Same As Row 2] in Report
any idea how to workaround with that ? (have same problem with *Children of Same as Row 2*
I tried to combine *Same as Row 2* with *RelativeMember & Offset -1* definition in reporting is then: Relative to Same As Row 2 offset by -1
- but no success - all I achieve is a true Same as - resulting in duplication of all data of Row 2 and nothing from row 1.
Any other ideas, how to combine a same as function with functions like parent,children,descendants or relative member ? Did I do anything wrong in combining them or is the relativemember function not working in 9.3.1 ?
Please note, that these detailled reports typicially run 10 to 20 minutes - so telling users to run 2 reports or including lot's of not needed data or first retrieving and then hiding again is not really helpful - I would also not ask, if this function was not used in dozens of reports.
The user prompt function in financial reporting is the most used functionality in our reports- the users run approx. 100 reports a day - and fill between 3 and 10 user prompts (with a lot of default values & substitution variables) - this appeared the most efficient way for unexperienced users, who need different data every day.
unfortunately, it does not allow the report designer to allow either 1 or many values
it seems to struggle with our special request of "children of same as"
and it has no "select all" / "unselect all" button - which would allow the user to select all/none of the Choices List, defined in the user prompt.
Please do not recommend usage of Analyzer - this tool is far to slow, has no cancel button and the users simply go lost.
Smartview is too risky for majority of our users, as they would use the refresh button only - and not zoom in & zoom out - and miss a lot of new combinations by using old smartview-excel-templates (from previous month/forecast)
Any help on any of these items would be highly recommended.

If I understand correctly you would only have one CBU on any given report.
Instead of prompting for Row 2 and pulling the totals from the Outline. You could delete your current Row2 and have the report provide the totals based on the data results from ROW 1. Insert a row formula for Row 2 and sum the results for that paticular column.
Formula:
Sum([1])
