FLOW_TYPE property. Accdetail or flow dimension

Hi experts,
I'm analizing FLOW TYPE property of Accdetail or flow dimension, but I don't know the useful for this property. I mean, what is the purpose of this property or where I can use it. I know I can introduce some values like OPENING, CLOSING.
I'm setting up a Legal Consolidation application.
Could any one could explain me something? because guides show anyhing
Thank you very much in advance
Gabrie Garcia

Hello Gabriel,
We are also working with the variation in scope which needs to customized on the FLOW_TYPE property of the flow and even though I have issues  (its not performing how it should) here are some comments on how the system should performe.
For example a new company joining the consolidation group. It was not there last year, therefore at the consolidation level the opening balance should be cero, right?
In this case we would need to reclassify the opening balance flow of the new entity/trading partner to the flow VARSCPNEW as well as performing the "automatic adjustments" on this flow.
As in the previous messages there are three additional cases, changes in the method, changes in the percentage and companies leaving the consolidation hierarchy.
If you download the information of BPC10 of the IFRS starter kit, there are some cases for each one of this scenarios

Dani

  • Sub-tables/Flow dimension - NETVAR

    Hi all
    Does anybody know what it means if a particular value in the  the Sub-tables/Flow dimension has a FLOW_TYPE of  NETVAR ?

    Hi pmyahoo,
    According to your description, you want to use T-SQL to create a relational view contains fact table with dimension tables. Right?
    In Analysis Services, a data source view (DSV) is an abstraction of a relational data source that becomes the basis of the cubes and dimensions you create in a multidimensional project. It contains the logical model of the schema used by Analysis Services
    multidimensional database objects—namely cubes, dimensions, and mining structures. It is the metadata definition, stored in an XML format, of these schema elements used by the Unified Dimensional Model (UDM) and by the mining structures. So it's a virtual
    table like the View we create via T-SQL. Please refer to links below:
    Data Source Views (Analysis Services - Multidimensional Data) 
    Defining a Data Source View (Analysis Services)
    When designing data source views, to determine if using a bridge table depends on the relation ship between dimension table and fact table. If it's a many-to-many relationship, it's better to use a bridge. Please refer to an article below:
    SSAS/KIMBALL: modeling a N:M relation between dimensions (part I)
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

  • Consolidation deletes values with the Flow_Type property "OPENING"

    Hello all,
    We have set up journals to populate a DataSrc dimension value with the following properties:
    COPYOPENING - BLANK
    DATASRC_TYPE - M
    IS_CONSOL - BLANK
    IS_CONVERTED - BLANK
    In other words, we do not do not want values in this data source to be picked up or in any way manipulated when we execute Consolidation (Stored Prodcedures SPCOPYOPENING, SPRUNCONVERSION,SPRUNCONSO).
    However whenever we execute consolidation the system delete some values in the above mentioned datasrc. Open further investigation, it seems to only delete values where the flow dimension value has the FLOW_TYPE - OPENING.
    Have you by any chance encountered this issue? Or do you have any ideas why this could occur?
    Thank you & regards
    Raja

    When I look to the SAP BPC MS V7.0 starter kit, I find the following differences :
    - they use NETVAR to the Variation flow
    - they call the Flow_type for CTA "TRANSDIF"
    - there is no TRANSLOPE
    I hope it helps

  • How to use the FORMAT property of an account dimension

    Hi Experts,
    I tried my best but I just can't find any information about the format property of an account dimension. I know that it is a reserved one and I have seen something such as #,##0. In detail I want inc member to look like 1.000.000 and exp member  like -4.000.0000.
    This is probably a stupid question.
    Thanx in advance,
    Cora

    Hi Cora-
    These are Excel custom formats..please review the following link for detailed information:
    [Custom Number Formats in Excel|http://www.ozgrid.com/Excel/CustomFormats.htm]
    For your specific example:  ###,###,### for INC and  -###,###,### EXP should be sufficient.

  • Error editing flow dimension

    Hello xperts, when i tryediting FLOW dimension in SAP BPC 7 NW, the following error triggers up:
    Exception from HRESULT:0x800a03EC   ,  , what could i check ?
    thaks in advance

    Hi,
    This error might occur while procssing dimensions. You can implement the SAP Note: 1471431 for the same. Here are the excerpts:
    "This problem was resolved by reinstalling the Primary Assembly Interop for Office 2007. This can be downloaded from the following Microsoft web site:
    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=59daebaa-bed4-4282-a28c-b864d8bfa513

  • How to assign One Dimension Property value to another Dimension ID

    Business senario:
    There are two dimensions Entity and Plant. Plant also has a property Entity.
    In my Input Form, I need to derive Entity Property based on PLANT selection and should map it to ENTITY Dimension.
    I have selected PLANT Dimension and ENTITY Dimension in Page Axis. I have updated EPMOLAPMember() formula with EPMMemberProperty() for deriving Entity values. When I tried to save data an error message appears saying TOT_Code is not a base level member. So I checked Edit Report window and found that ENTITY Dimension is automatically moved to default left panel from Row Axis and Entity Dimension Context Menu is mapped to TOT_Code which is the top node of the total hierarchy.
    I tried EPMMemberOverride() function to overwrite ENTITY Dimension values with Entity Property of PLANT Dimension but unable to overwrite it.
    In Simple Words:
    ENTITY Dimension = PLANT Dimension (Entity Property)
    Is there any way to map/assign property value to another dimension??? Please help me.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Force OBIEE to display attribute as dimension property and not separate dimension

    Hello,
    I have following question - in my project which utilizes Essbase and OBIEE I am interested in display of attribute as a characteristic of dimension and not as separate dimension.
    OBIEE generates following mdx statement:
    With
      set [_Prod.Manufacturer2]  as '[Prod.Manufacturer].Generations(2).members'
      set [_Product6]  as 'Filter(Descendants([Product], 8), (([Product].CurrentMember.MEMBER_Name = "P3336" OR [Product].CurrentMember.MEMBER_ALIAS = "P3336")))'
    select
      { [Measure].[Volume] } on columns,
      NON EMPTY {crossjoin({[_Prod.Manufacturer2]},{[_Product6]})} properties MEMBER_NAME, GEN_NUMBER, [Prod.Manufacturer].[MEMBER_UNIQUE_NAME], [Prod.Manufacturer].[Memnor], [Product].[MEMBER_UNIQUE_NAME], [Product].[Memnor], [Product].[Alias_table_1] on rows
    from [APP.DB]
    while I am interested in achieving following - where attribute Prod.Manufacturer is displayed as property of Product dimension and not as separate attribute
    With
      set [_Axis1Set] as '{Filter(Descendants([Product], 8), (([Product].CurrentMember.MEMBER_Name = "P3336" OR [Product].CurrentMember.MEMBER_ALIAS = "P3336")))}'

    from [APP.DB]
    OBIEE generates expected syntax for Alias tables, is same possible with attributes?
    How ?
    thx
    Tomek

    Thanks heaps for your answer, Vladim!
    That's funny, huh? As mentioned, in respect to the Workstatus control, SAP made that functionality available for the Owner property of the Entity dimension (i.e. more than one user can be declared as an owner of a e.g. Cost Center and could hence change a particular Work Status).
    Any ideas for a workaround ?
    Have a good weekend...

  • Does anyone know what the entity property of the currency dimension does?

    Hi,
    I'm trying to figure out what the Entity property of the Currency dimension does.  All the online documentation I can find has the definition below which is not all that useful.  Has anyone uses this before and know how it can be used?
    Thanks,
    Morgan
    Online definition
    A 32-character field that can either be left blank or contain a valid
    member name of the entity dimension associated to the current model. The ENTITY property is
    validated against the entity dimension, and blank fields are allowed.

    Sounds like it provides one (extra) internet phone number that goes to their servers first. Then it could work like this:
    1) If you have the app running on your phone (oops, no background processing... perhaps this will be one of the first tests of background notifications), it uses the GPS to tell the server if you're near a landline that you've previously registered with it. If so, their server redirects the call to the landline phone.
    2) While you're on a call, you can start a conference call that includes the alternative phone (landline or iPhone) and then hang up on the old one. That would give a "seamless" switchover.

  • Cover flow dimensions

    Hi,
    I'm using the "Cover Flow" view in finder and it has an option to turn on the "Dimensions" colum. Which is really handy for my work because it instantly shows the dimensions of all the image files in the window. However, I can only turn this on, in the sub folders of my "Pictures" folders. Does anybody know a hack or an option panel where I can use this for all my other documents besides my photos?
    Thanks in advance.

    These settings are only avaialble if the contents of the current folder contain them in their metadata. For example, drag a few pictures containing "Dimension" information to a folder that does not have these options, and you will see the folder will now have these options. There is no hack to enable this feature. Ultimately it is always enabled but just limited on a per-folder basis by its applicability and relevance to the folder's contents.

  • Using attribute property to link to dimension members

    New to MDX so no sure if what I'm attempting makes sense or not.      
    I want to be able to compare Product A to a related product (I've called it B below)
    Product A  Product B     
    A               N     
    B               M     
    C               E     
    D               D     
    E               C     
    M               B     
    N               NULL     
    Product B is itself a value in Product A, and this is always a One to One relationship.      
    Will the following work and how Or am I barking up the wrong tree????      
    If I create a calculated member that is a count of sales, can I then also create a calculated member that is a count of sales of Product B that I can use to compare to Product A and slice and dice using the prouct dimension (which uses the Product A relationship?
    I did think that I could maybe create Product B as a Attribute Property and then pass this in as the member      
    i.e.      
    WITH      
    MEMBER      
    Measures.RelatedProduct AS [Product].[Product].Properties( "Related Product")      
    MEMBER      
    [Measures].[RelatedSales_Count] AS COALESCEEMPTY(SUM(([Product].[Product].&[Measures.RelatedProduct], [Measures].[Sales_Count])),0)      
    SELECT      
    {Measures.Sales_Count, Measures.RelatedSales_Count} ON COLUMNS      
    , {[Product].[Product]}       
    ON ROWS      
    FROM      
    [ProductSales]      

    I ended up doing the following which seems to work :)
    WITH
    MEMBER  Measures.RelatedProduct AS [Product].[Product].Properties( "Related Product")
    MEMBER  [Measures].[RelatedSales_Count] AS COALESCEEMPTY(SUM((StrToMember("[Product].[Product].&[" + Cstr(Measures.RelatedProduct) + "]"), [Measures].[Sales_Count])),0)
    This allows me to compare two related products.
    Which also means that I can implement something similar to look at sales in week 5 this year to last year where my time dimension is non standard and defined by the sale director (week 5 last year is not the same week 5 this year)....

  • Troubleshooting "Invalid property name" during EPMA Dimension import

    I am trying to import a dimension via EPMA and receiving the error below. I have a couple of questions:
    How can that property exist in the first place if it's invalid?
    How can I find that property and where it's referenced?
    Thanks in advance!
    -Ben
    Invalid property name:  'CustomTopMemberAsset Class'.  Property names must start with a letter or underscore, and can contain only letters, numbers, underscores, and hyphens.

    Well, that gets to the root of my issue.  I cannot find that property anywhere to change it, nor can I figure out how it got saved in the first place with a space in it.

  • Concatenate property with two other dimension values in REC statement

    Greetings,
    I am attempting to concatenate a member property with two member values to create a this dimension member ID in a REC statement, as in the example:
                      *REC(FACTOR=1, COSTCENTER = PROFITCENTER.PCID + %DEPARTMENT% + %COMPANY%)
    So the COSTCENTER member is the concatenation of the PCID property of the current PROFTCENTER member and the ID of the current DEPARTMENT member and the ID of the current COMPANY member.
    I appreciate your help.
    Regards,
    Craig
    P.S. This syntax works fine in the Microsoft version
    Edited by: Craig Tennant on Oct 27, 2010 9:58 AM

    Gersh,
    I have tried:
    *REC(FACTOR=1, COSTCENTER = [PROFITCENTER].PCID %DEPARTMENT%) //PROFITCENTER has brackets around it and there is a space between the two.
    When I validate and save it tells me "Attribute PCID%DEPARTMENT% does not exist in dimension PROFITCENTER"
    *REC(FACTOR=1, COSTCENTER = [PROFITCENTER].PCID_%DEPARTMENT%) //PROFITCENTER has brackets and there is an underscore between the two.
    When I valiudate and save it tells me "Attribute PCID_%DEPARTMENT% does not exist in dimension PROFITCENTER"
    *REC(FACTOR=1, COSTCENTER = [PROFITCENTER].PCID [DEPARTMENT].ID) //PROFITCENTER and DEPARTMENT have brackets around them and there is a space between the two.
    When I validate and save it tells me "Member [PROFTCENTER].PCID[ does not exist"
    *REC(FACTOR=1, COSTCENTER = [PROFITCENTER].PCID_[DEPARTMENT].ID) //PROFITCENTER and DEPARTMENT have brackets around them and there is an underscore between the two.
    When I validate and save it tells me "Member [PROFTCENTER].PCID[_ does not exist"
    Again I appreciate your help and insight

  • No owner property specified for a dimensions - Work Status

    Hi to all,
    I have a problem. I am configurating a work status. I have specified my work states, I have created the property "OWNER" in the memberset of the dimension that I want to be the owner one and I have specified the user which is going to be the owner of the members, but when I go to the workstatus matrix inside an application, the system tells me that ther's no owner property in that dimension. But in fact ther is. Does someone have any idea?
    Thanx
    Oscar

    Hi Sheldon,
    Than for your answer. Regarding the ideas:
    Q1: I have process and saved the dimension that contains the owner.
    Q2: Which kind of hierarchy are you talking about? I set in application parameters the Approval Org to H1, and in the members set of the owner dimension, I specified my user as a owner of some properies, so that six porperties have only one father, my user, the owner.
    Shall I change something?

  • Flow dimension Hierarchy

    There are two flow hierarchies in standard Appshel:
    F_TOT  End of Period Movement.  This hierarchy inclide chidren of  opening balance F_100 and all the other movement types.
    F_TOP  All Flow. This hierarchy include chidren of  closing balance F_999 and F_NONE.
    theoretically speaking " the sum of the opening balance and the period movements should equal the closing position in reports",
    Is this means that the move type we extract from ECC for each period should never equal F_NONE? otherwise the f_NONE should be the children of F_TOT not F_TOP.
    Is there any relationship between F_TOT and F_TOP? Do we have F_TOT = F_999 from the above stetement?
    Another thing I notice is that when I run a report, for flow current view value, if I choose F_TOP,I will received "EVDRE encountered an error retrieving data from the Web Server" error message, but if I choose the children of it either F_999 or F_NONE, the report runs ok, however, the same report if I choose F_TOT, it runs ok as well.

    Hi,
    The actual rules are based on your requirements. You could define all your cash flow rules in the account transformation under group ID CF and then map you souce account/flow and speficy the destination there.
    Next have a script logic and call the progam CALC_ACCOUNT there. sample logic is: There is a package to trigger this logic. Have it enabled. The BPC process chain is /CPMB/RUNCALCACCOUNT
    *RUN_PROGRAM CALC_ACCOUNT
        CATEGORY = %CATEGORY_SET%
        CURRENCY = LC
        TID_RA = %TIME_SET%
        CALC=CF
        OTHER = [ENTITY=%ENTITY_SET%]
    *ENDRUN_PROGRAM
    Hope the above helps.

  • Expanding Dimension Members Filtered by another Dimension members property.

    I use BPC for SAP NetWeaver 7.5.
    Iu2019ve FI_ Acc dimension. And on the property FLOWTYPE, I define which FLOW types it uses.
    FI Acc dimension members as follows:
    Cash   (FLOWTYPE: Cashflows)
    Treade Receivales (FLOWTYPE: TRflows)
    Trade Payables (FLOWTYPE: TPflows)
    FLOW dimension members as follows:
        Cas_flows (PARENTH1)
           Cash Openning
           Cash In
           Cash Out
           Cash from Credit
    TR_flows (PARENTH1)

        TR addition from sales
        TR recived
    TP_flows (PARENTH1)
        TP Openning
        TP addition from purchases
        TP paid
    I want to expand FI_ Acc dimension and according to its FLOWTYPE property it expands FLOWs next to it as follows:
    FI_ Acc              FLOW
    CASH                      Cash Openning
                                   Cash In

                                     TP paid
    I have one EVEXP which expands FI_Acc dimension and another EVEXP which expands FLOW dimension. On the FILTER I write [FLOW].currentmember.properties("PARENTH1")=[FI_Acc].currentmember.properties("FLOWTYPE")
    I could not get the result. Where do I make mistake? Is there someone can help me on this issue?
    Or is there any other way to do this?

    Hi Bike,
    According to your description, you want to add another dimension attribute based on the record dimension name, right? If in this case, you can use Case When statement to achieve it. Here is a sample query for your reference.
    With Member [Measures].[Test]
    As
    Case [Product].[Category].CurrentMember.Name
    When [Product].[Category].&[4].Name Then "4"
    When [Product].[Category].&[1].Name Then "1"
    When [Product].[Category].&[3].Name Then "3"
    When [Product].[Category].&[2].Name Then '2'
    Else "Null"
    End
    Select {[Measures].[Test]} on columns,
    [Product].[Category].[Category].members on rows
