Fiscal Year Time Dimension - Month Time Span
I have a need to create a fiscal year time dimension and I created using Time Wizard in OWB. When I was developing BI Reports, I found some inconsistencies in Time dimension as it was showing figures in all the months of my first quarter of new financial year that Apr 2009 – Mar 2010. On close inspection of Time Dimension table I found that fiscal_month_time_span value varies from 35 to 28 to 29 for different months. i.e. it’s not matching with corresponding Calendar month. This means I am unable to plot data correctly using fiscal year dimension.
Maybe this is how it works in Oracle, but this does not solve my problem. Could anyone give me some solution for this ? My Fiscal year is from ‘1- Apr – 09’ to ’31-Mar-10’. In my reports I would like to see transactions for April month when I use month attribute of time dimension like it happens in Calendar time dimension.
May be someone from

Performance Point Filter Scorecard by Time Dimension (without Time Intelligence)
Hello,
I use Performance Point 2010 and want to build a Performance Point Dashboard with Scorecard. My requirement is to provide a List of Years as a Filter for a Scorecard.
In the Scorecard I have a KPI which I want filter by Time Dimension. I can do this when I use "Time Intelligence" and "Time Intelligence Connection". But I want to use the "Member Selection Filter" to filter the Scorecard
KPIs by Years (Selected from a List).
I created a "Member Selection Filter" with certain Time Dimension and put Filter to a Dashboard. In my KPI Mapping Source I added a "new Dimension Filter" and choosed the same Time Dimension as
in the "Member Selection Filter".
When I try to connect the "Member Selection Filter" to my Scorecard, I can only choose the "Curent Date Time". As I know "Current Date Time" have to be used when Time Intelligence Filter is in use.
How I have to connect the Scorecard with the "Member Selection Filter"?
Thank you very muchHi ShebUK,
I don't think we can achieve this requirement on the front end, but you can discuss this issue at the following forum:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?category=performancepointserver
I'm not familiar with PerformancePoint Services and not sure that we can implement linked dimension to achieve this. A linked dimension is one that exists in one Analysis Services database, but reused in another Analysis Services database of the same version
and compatibility level. For more information, please see:
Define Linked Dimensions: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms175648.aspx
Hope this helps.

Urgent !!Report Fiscal year for each Month i.e.12mnths
Hi All,

3.Product type==A
But If i need to create a Dashboard Report with this Cube,
But it has display tht Fiscal Year Value 2000 for each month
Like ..KF=1200/12(months)
So i need display as follows for the graph...
MONTH JAN FEB MAR...............................DEC
REVENUE 100 100 100...................................100
THIS IS HOW MY REPORT SHLD BE EXECUTED..
But I dont have any date or month field in my cube,how can I get it for Each month as above..??????
Can any one explain me & suggest me how to proceed..???
Thnx
BI LearnerHi Voodi,
That is the only solution... which i have in my mind...Let me try it out & get back to u..

Thanks a lot for ur ideas. -
Variable to display data from Current Fiscal Year to the MONTH entered
Hi Friends,
In the Quey Designer I require a CHARACTERISTIC VARIABLE for the 0CALMONTH which should have the following features:-
1.Input Month(e.g JUN 2008)
2.Mandatory
3.Ready for Input
The query should show the following OUTPUT:-
The data should be displayed from the CURRENT FISCAL YEAR to the value of the Input MONTH entered.
e.g For Input = DEC2008
Output = from APRIL 2008 to DEC2008.
Do we have a standard variable for this or we have to go for a Customer Exit??
Thanks in Advance!!!
VivekHi,
Create a customer exit as follows.
WHEN 'ZCMTD'.
you variable name
data: ZCMTD_LOW like sy-datum.
ZCMTD_LOW = sy-datum.
ZCMTD_LOW+4(2) = '04'.
*replacing last two symbols (month) in the current month with '04'
CLEAR L_S_RANGE.
L_S_RANGE-LOW = ZCMTD_LOW.
*initializing low interval limit
L_S_RANGE-HIGH = SY-DATUM.
*initializing high interval limit
L_S_RANGE-SIGN = 'I'.
*defining interval as inclusive
L_S_RANGE-OPT = 'BT'.
APPEND L_S_RANGE TO E_T_RANGE.
ENDCASE.
Thanks,

RV_BELEG depending on: fiscal year, sales organization, month
Hi everyone.
We are facing an issue involving SD invoices numbering:
we are currently using 3 numberings: one for receipts, one for invoices, and another one for cancelling invoices.
The request is: this numbering should depend on fiscal year AND sales organization AND month (i.e. period).
The problem is: we have sort of 30 sales organizations. Which yields 30 (sales orgs.) * 12 (months) * 3 (numberings) = sort of 1000 ranges EACH YEAR.
But range RV_BELEG does not depend on anything, we can only define range numbers with a two-character string. If we used 0-9,A-Z coding we can use 36*36 = 1296 ranges.
Which means: OK for the first year, but we cannot extend all these ranges for the 2nd and subsequent years.
Anyone can help. Kind regards.
AlvaroHi all,
I understand the requirements of Alvaro, he's spanish, as me, and it is a frequent requirement by spanish managers.
First, try to understand the reason of this requirement. Perhaps the end users have the habit to know in which year and month was created the invoice by the ID (ie: VBRK-VBELN). You have a lot of fields for this in the interface to FI (check Note 301077 - User exits for the interface to accounting), after you can view this fields in FBL5N or other reports (you can enhance FBLXN tcodes, see SAP Note 215798 - FBL*N: Special fields are not displayed and related notes if the field populated is not in the standard). For instance, in field BSEG-SGTXT you have 50 characters to concatenate year, month, sales org and so on.
Finally, explain to your client or to your boss that it's impossible. Think that by tax authority requirements in Spain, you can delete or archive invoices after 5 years, and field VBELN is a key of VBRK. And of course, it's not in legal requirements.
I hope this helps you

Time Dimension - Expanding Time Table Dates
Hi all!
I have an Analysis Services project with a Time table that was created through the wizard.
(Generate a table in the data source option)
The date range used was too small, is there a method to add more dates into the table? Hoping I won't have to recreate the dimension again from scratch.
thanks in advance!Hi D_Good,
According to your description, you create a time table using "Generate a table in the data source option", and the issue is that the date range was to small, right?
When creating a table table using "Generate a table in the data source option", we can specify the time periods, and also the start and end dates for the dimension.
So in your scenario, you can specify the first calendar day earlier to expand the time table dates.

I would be thankfull for any suggestions!Hello wildmight.
I followed this tutorial:
http://www.rittmanmead.com/2007/04/30/obi-ee-time-dimensions-and-time-series-calculations/
Why should this layout not work?
Do you have a better idea?
When you say "it has to be one table" do you mean
that quartermonthday and year need to be ONE?
I just rememered that Oracle Hyperion Planning has to have
time and months seperated.
Hello mod100.
What do you mean hierachy over the time dimension?
Is it not obvious from the screen print that I have a hierachy
i.e. yeartotal - years and
quarters - months- days.
I read that by default the LEVELS are set to the lowerst. so thats fine. I set them by myself to the lowest as well but the ERROR is still the same.
no, I have not set the levels as in

'Time' dimension hierarchy Required
Dear all,
We came across one requirement where 'Time' dimension having 365 days along with month, quarter, halfyear and yeartot as their ancestor.
"Time" Dimension hierarchy:
Time
- Yeartot
- Half year
- Quarters
- Months
- Days
Also we need alternate hierarchy in time dimension:
Time
- Yeartot
- Weeks
- Week1
- 1 Apr
- 2 Apr
- Week2
Weeks are Monday to sunday.
We are using 11.1.1.2 version.
Can anyone suggest me how to achieve this in Planning?
Thanks in Adv,
BunnyI believe the limit for Planning's Period dimension is 400 members.
That's going to get you the first bit, but not the alternate hierarchy.
Does this alternate hierarchy have to be in Planning, or could it be in Essbase only?
This isn't exactly a recommended strategy, but I think you can still use the HSP_UDF UDA in Essbase to basically make your alternate hierarchy happen only in Essbase. It won't show up on forms, but will be available from a reporting tool.
I have not tried HSP_UDF (it was used all the time on pre System 9 (maybe Planning 4) Planning apps to get in member formulas) in 11, so it may be worth trying a small alternate hierarchy with that UDF and then forcing a refresh to see if it still sticks about.

Samp App V207 - joins F10 to time dimensions
Hi everybody,
I just had a look at the BIEE Sample App V207 and noticed that the physical fact table 'F10 Billed Rev' is joined to 3 Time dimensions:
'D01 Time Day Grain'
'D02 Time Month Grain'
'D03 Time Quarter Grain'
What's the idea behind this - performance improvements when doing time series calculations?
Thanks for your input
Regards
AndyHi Andy,
Here it is maintaining three different levels so it can be helpful for aggregation tables and maintaining multiple LTS in BMM layer. The main purpose is for performance tuning, the server hits any of this tables based on the time level used in analysis.
For ex: If the analysis is based on month level then the server will hit Month level table.
Please mark if it is helpful/correct.
Revert me for any queries.

Hi all,
I have installed the BI apps 7.9.6.3 and runned the Human Resource of the PeopleSoft ETL. While I create new analytics , I found that most fields were correct except the Time Demension.
The issue is like below:
1) When I just drag one field of Time Dimension , there is no results in the result tab.
2)When I drag more than one field of Time Dimension, the time field value appears.
If you know the reason ,please help me. Thanks
Edited by: 977447 on Dec 17, 2012 11:17 PMMake sure you got data for the criteria and also disable the cache and see how its working..
Just in case check that implicit fact column is mapped to the subject area, can check with properties..
if you dont see any changes then give us more details..
If this helps pls mark

Hi All
Thought I would ask for some feedback on a change i am checking on.
Currently have a cube with Accounts and Time set as dense. But this creates a block size of around 400k.
I have created a test app and changed time dim to sparse and the block size has dropped to around 40k. Its a very new cube so there arent a lot of calculations currently written for it.
My test calc ran for 3 hours on the cube prior to changing the Time dimension and after changing the Time dimension to sparse, now completes in 12 seconds. The aggregated numbers look good.
What are the Cons to implementing Time as sparse?
SimonYou didn't state if you planned on using DTS for your time dimension. If so, the dynamic members would need to grab multiple blocks in order to calculate your QTD or YTD members. It's not a huge deal if your hardware is up to the task, but the users may experience a little slowness when pulling those members. If you are not using DTS, don't flag the time dimension as "Time" at all because that will affect how the default calc will work (Accounts, Time, Dense members, Sparse members). Most people don't use the default calc anyways, but if you're not using DTS, there is no reason to flag the time dim as "Time".

Planned dep in closed fiscal year
Hi
We have done a change(reduced the useful life) in the useful life of the asset in the Fiscal year 2009 in the month of June,which impacted the previous year depreciation amount.The planned dep value got increased in december 2008 .In the posted value tab in asset explorer for year 2008 it displays the planned dep in dec 2008 which is not yet posted.We donot need this depreciation to be posted.We need to delete the planned dep.Financial year and Asset year till 2009 are closed.
Please advice how to get the planned dep line removed from year 2008 which effects the net book value.Hi,
Are you absolutely sure the changes were made when the fiscal year was closed. Maybe you need to also check if the depreciation area(s) affected was/were open at the time (OAAR). It should not be possible: if the fiscal year and all depreciation areas are closed, changing the useful life should not affect these closed years/depr.areas.
Changes to depreciation conditions (e.g.useful life, dep.key) only affect the planned depreciation in open fiscal years. There is no specific transaction.
The adjustment for the depreciation of the closed fiscal year will be reflected in an adjustment posting in the next period due for depreciation posting in a catch-up posting (or smoothing if indicated). For the open fiscal years the newly calculated depreciation will be distributed equally over the remaining useful life.
Therefore it sound to me very peculiar that planned depreciation should have been created in your closed fiscal year due to a change of useful life. Please review your change documents to ensure depreciation areas and fiscal years were closed at time of change u2013 and have not been reopened either via OAAR or OAAQ.
To answer your last question regarding if change of useful life will affect deprecation in 2010: provided that it is the only open fiscal year and is in fact the current fiscal year, then yes, it will affect the planned depreciation in 2010 and in the remaining useful life.
Kind regards,
Brigitte
