Check report not displaying all digits

Hello all. Essbase/Planning guy just beginning to explore this space. We are loading to Essbase via FDM and our check reports aren't returning full fields. They are truncating the left most digits on any numbers greater than 11 places. The loaded data shows properly in the table, but when it is moved to the check table it looses the digits. Is there a system setting to control this?
Thanks in advance.

Manohar,
    try this code and let me know... directly insert this code in HTML or In the properties of the Drop Down Web Item you could see "Maximum Number of the Displayed Values" assign this 0 in the Properties.
or insert the cod ein HTML block:
<object>
     <param name="OWNER" value="SAP_BW"/>
     <param name="CMD" value="GET_ITEM"/>
     <param name="NAME" value="DROPDOWNBOX_1"/>
     <param name="ITEM_CLASS" value="CL_RSR_WWW_ITEM_FILTER_DDOWN"/>
     <param name="DATA_PROVIDER" value="DATAPROVIDER_2"/>
     <b><param name="MAXVALUES" value="0"/></b>
ITEM:            DROPDOWNBOX_1
</object>
all the best.
try this code and let me know.

Forecast accuracy report

Hi All,
Would like to know if there is any forecast accuracy report in ODP to verify that the forecast is valid. To give an example, if I collect the demand number and upload the forecast to calculate the forecast to order PO. We should know whether the forecast uploaded is valid i.e. is it possible for Oracle to state that this forecast is not correct according to the trend. Is there any exception report to state this kind of behaviour.
Regards

Error Message: The attempt to connect to the report server failed. Check your connection information and that the report server is a compatible version. The request failed with HTTP status 404: Not Found.

I have a web page that contains a ReportViewer control. I am trying to display a report, which is an .rdl file located on the SSRS server, in this ReportViewer control. I have set the ReportPath and ReportServerUrl correctly. I am
getting an error message.
Am I suppose to use an .rdlc file rather than a .rdl file? Does the web server configuration need to use a certain account?
I am getting the following error message:
The attempt to connect to the report server failed. Check your connection information and that the report server is a compatible version.

Hi bucaroov,
The error "The request failed with HTTP status 404: Not Found." means the ReportServerURL configured in the ReportViewer control is invalid.
Please follow these steps to solve the issue:
Logon the Report Server machine.
Open the Reporting Services Configuration Manager.
Copy the Report Server URL from 'Web Services URL'.
Logon the application server(in this case, it is the server that host the web page), check if we can use the URL we got from step 3 to access the Report Server. If so, please replace the ReportServerURL in the ReportViewer control with this URL. If it is
not available, could you please post the error message.
Additionaly, we don't need to provide the extension for a server report. The ReportPath should be like: /<reports folder>/<report name>
For more information, please see:

If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

Inconsistency in upper level report and drill down report

I have to reports:
1) Higher level report pulls data against customers and shows aggregated data for all promotions for that customer from a table A.
2) Lower level report pulls data from the same table A, but for all promotions against a customer after i drill down on a Customer.
However, the values of a measure when summed up for a customer in the higher and lower level reports, does not match sometimes. Sometimes its in sync, sometimes its not.
My Oracle BI servers are 2 in no. with clustered configuration. Can this be an issue related to caching of measure values? If not, please give me pointers in other directions i can look.

clustering is not a problem here....just check for some example...and do some unit testing to find the rootcause of mismatch..it might be including some some extra values..

Forecast accuracy check in R/3 ECC 6.0

Folks,
We've designed a Flexible Plng solution for our clients to address a very complex reqt. But as it stands, any good design of Flex Plng (SOP for that matter) is incomplete without a very reliable way to forecast & keep bettering the forecast via regular forecast accuracy checks.
To that end, wanted to know if anyone has worked with tools within R/3 Forecasting that allow us to carry out robust forecast accuracy checks. If yes, pls share your inputs on how this can be achieved..
Inputs in this regards will be greatly appreciated
Cheers

Forecast Accuracy Report in BW

Hi All,
Our company is planning to implement Forecast Accuracy reporting within the BW space. Can anyone please provide reference documents or links on how I can start building the solution for this report?

Extractor: Check on Accuracy and Completeness

Our customer asks if we can implement a check on accuracy and completeness of the extractors (from R/3 to BW). Isn't there already a build-in check (CRC or CHECKSUM) that does this automatically.
So in general: How is it determined that data from R/3 arrives 100% accurate and complete in BW?

Hi dear,
I think you need to take a look to this one:

Bank Reconciliation Report (Cleared and Uncleared Checks)

Dear Team,
     I am looking for an advice on our reports in Bank Reconciliation. First there is a report Under u201CBanking -> Banking Report -> External Reconciliation -> Locate Reconciliation in Bank Statement By Row Numberu201D, when I run the report I am asked for u201CVisual Orderu201D. What is this? And in the Account query how to add more accounts as I can see only around 4 accounts. Please advice. Please Refer link below:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SXA3A2BY                (Locate Reconciliation in Bank Statement)
Secondly I am simultaneously work on the same report in Crystal Reports. And I am stuck with how to differentiate between Cleared and Un cleared Check as Seen Under Bank Statements and External Reconciliation -> Manual Reconciliation -> Cleared (Field). Please Refer link below:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=F96DXTUB                 (Manual Reconciliation)
    Waiting for your response.

Hello, I am trying to create the same report in Crystal Reports and was wondering if someone could tell us how to distinguish between the Cleared and Uncleared checks so I can complete the reports for my clients?
Thanks in advance,

Demand planning Forecast errors and KPI to store results of error

I have following requirement: keep traceabilitity of hypothesis and forecast error results of former mass process .
In comparison tool, we can compare the result of last interactive forecast run but our requirement is to store those result for KPI purpose.
Is it possible without extra development ? ( built not yet done, we are in design phase)
Kinds regards,
Christine

Hi Christine,
There is Standard Error analysis functionality available for forecast accuracy reporting.
Please refer to the URL below:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm70/helpdata/en/6f/8812ce03ba4f0ca09ea31a1a3e1f0c/frameset.htm
Please check if these are sufficient for your business needs.
If we want to extarct standard statistical forecast errors( like MAD, MAPE) calculated in the interactive or batch runs of statistical forecasting , then, to my understanding, development is required. A short detail is given below:
We need to develop macros for calculation of Univariate forecast erros : MAD and MAPE. New planning book and data views may be required to becreated Some extra Key figures also will be needed ,used for storing the values.
The macros runs can be run through batch jobs.These calculated forecast errors of MAD and MAPE then can be compared with the system calculated MAD and MAPE during interactive / batch runs.
The error data can be extracted and stored in the infocubes.
Please check and confirm.

BW reporting from APO live cache

It has been 4 years since I have worked on a BW/APO project. Back then, I know that in APO you could backup live cache and then use the backup as the datasource for reporting in BW. Is this still the same or can you go directly against live cache now.
Thanks,
Dean

Hi Somnath,
Can you pl. give me the reference where running reports from internal APO-BW directly is recommended by SAP?
We have a similar situation with our client. It is possible to do reporting from APO cubes directly, but we are not sure since I found this in once of the SAP presentations
SAP recommends for customer to prepare separate systems for APO and BW.
Reasons
The APO system will be tuned for optimal APO functionality performance such as calculating forecasts in demand planning or deriving ATP values
The BW system will be tuned for optimal query performance in order to return results in a timely fashion.

Forecast, selection and aggregation level

Hi gourous,
I'm working on APO 4.1.
Forecast runs in background as following:
- Aggregation level: Sales organization / distribution channel / division / product size.
All these four characteristics are part of the characteristic combination.
- Selection ID is defined on: sales organisation / sales statut / standard - promo indicator / product size
Sales statut and standard - promo indicator are attributes of the characteristic material (sales view).
However there is forecasts on promo SKUs even if they aren't in the selection ID (standard - promo indicator as value egal to standard in the selection ID)
My question is: how is it possible? is there a conflict between the selection ID and the aggregation level?
I check the assignment of forecast profiles and there is no profil assigned on the ID selection.
Thank you for your return.
Sophie

Hi Datta,
Let me go further with my data model first.
Selection criteria:
Sales organisation = CZ01
Sales statut = active
Standard / promo = standard
Product size = A, B, C, D, E
Aggregation level:
Sales organisation
Distribution chanel
Division
Product size
What I understand of the 546079 OSS notes:
Distribution chanel and division are to be out of the aggregation level. Moreover in my case, there is only one value possible.
What I understand of the 374681 OSS notes:
The system searches for all the characteristics of the sales organisation * product size (of the aggregation level) that match the selection. At that step, APO should select only active and standard skus for CZ01 sales organisation and A, B, C, D, E product size. Afterwards the system searches for all the characteristics combinations that fit the chosen aggregation level and aggregates its values.
My question is: does APO disaggregate on the ID selection?
The characteristic combination I see in the job log are those defined on the aggregated level taking into account the sales organisation and product size restriction defined in the selection ID.
Thank you for your return.

The following error comes up when I try to install the updated Firefox:
"The operation can’t be completed because some items had to be skipped. For each item, choose File > Get Info, make sure “Locked” is deselected, and then check the Sharing & Permissions section. When you are sure the items are unlocked and not designated as Read Only or No Access, try again."
When I follow the instructions in the error message, it shows that my user name has read and write access. There are a couple other items that are read only. I tried to change this to read and write, but the Sharing and Permissions options are greyed out and will not let me change them. What is the work around for this? I would really like to install the new firefox.
Thanks.

Hello,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default('''This will NOT delete profile info such as bookmarks and history'''):
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.

Designing the consolidated and line item report for specific material

Hi
i have a R/3-report and it run only for 7-materials.That means we need to only those 7-materials in the selection screen of report.
Then we will get each material corresponding line item details(material no, profit center, variable cost, quanity, price, financial loss(this is calculated based on quantity) , Utility Consumption(calculated based on price, variablecost) ) in one report.
Another report will give same for consolidated values of financial loss, utiliy consumption.
<b>so how can i design the consolidated and lineitem details report for each material.</b> pls let me know

0VENDOR_ATTR - Vendor Master Data Attributes
0FI_AP_51 - Check Register Line Items
0FI_AP_4 - Accounts Payable Line Items
It should be noted, however, that this won't get you everything that you need, so you may have to create enhance one or more of these DataSources and create User Exit ABAP code to get the required data. Also, the 0FI_AP_51 DataSource isn't available if your source system isn't ECC6 EHP3 or higher. If your source system is less than that, you're going to have to create a generic DataSource for the data from the PAYR table.

Siebel 8117 and BIP Multilingual reports not working.....

Hello,
We went live with Siebel 8113 and BIP. We have Siebel Reports configured in 4 languages and the choosing the language and locale on report generation pick applet worked fine with correct translated report coming out.
We have upgraded Siebel to 8117.
Reports stopped working. Applied 8117 related BIP objects(only repository objects and seed data - ACR 719B) then default language, ENU, reports worked fine. But other languages are still generating ENU reports.
Applied QF0703 in Tools (It has SIEBEL_BIP_8117 Extension SIF) and deployed the SRF.
Only two things from 8117 BIP related items we missed.
a) EIM Table related schema changes. This is of no use for us as we don't use EIM.
b) LMU files were not imported into tools. Each time I tried to import an LMU, it gives an error that site "http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/xliff/DTD" is an invalid site. On checking in browser found that it should be https and changed it in one language XLIFF. Once the transport changed to http, comes an error that the patch is invalid".
Not sure what is the importance of LMU OR how to get around it.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
