Formula in Update rule(Urgent)

Dear Gurus,
Iam written Formula in update rule
Get source system type is SUBSTRING( Source System, 2, 1 )
And Get Client Formula is RIGHT( Source System, 3 )
Above formula syntax is correct.
But when iam loading data getting below error.
Formula in InfoObject /BIC/CLIENT : The argument 'R3DCLNT240' cannot be interpreted as.
In Help node it is showing below message.
This is a specific error message of processing from the handling of incorrect data data records. It enables the jump into the error requests or the PSA maintenance, depending on whether the generation of an error request was desired, and whether or not it was possible.
How to solve this problem?What does it mean?
Thanks in advance
Ramu

Hi Ramu,
Instead of using Formula why don't u try with Constant in Update rules for R3DCLNT240.
Try with this and hope it may works.
Thanks & Regards,
Reddy.

Error in update rules *urgent*

Hello all,
We got error in loading 2LIS_03_BF due to loss of connectivity to source system ,
After correcting the connection I tryed to reload the delta.
while loading we got all the records (100000 of 100000) but the processing is still running at
Second step in update
plz through light on this issue
Regards..... SAP

Hi SAP,
HAs the extraction been finished for your data load? If so are you able to see the data packets in processing in yellow state? then try making the status red and then update the data pckages manually.
If your data packets taking time to get processed in the update rules stage, reduce the data packet size and then reload, this should give less records to process in the update rules.

Routine in Update rule (Urgent)

Hi
My issue is a bit typical.
We enhanced 0MATERIAL_ATTR datasource to get one field from ZTABLE1 from R/3 called "Product type" and this is working fine and populated to 0MATERIAL.
In R/3, Our clients are giving the incentives to the customers based on their bill value. Incentives are maintained in ZTABLE2 master data in R/3.
There are three types of incentives 1. special 2. period 3. policy.
Incentives should be calculated based on the "product type"
I maintained ZTABLE2 (incentive) in BW ODS.
When i pull the 2LIS_13_VDITM, incentive value should be calculated from the ODS based on the product type in 0MATERIAL.
How can i do it?
One more thing.
Product type is NAV Attr to 0MATERIAL.
Now in Update rule if i put product type and populate as"Master data attribute"
and add a keyfigure called ZINCENTVAL and write a routine , Will it work?
Regards
Annie
Please get back to me if you dont understand the question?

First define the two tables you use:
DATA: g_workarea LIKE /BIC/AZTABLE2,
      l_/BIC/AZTABLE2_itab TYPE HASHED TABLE OF /BIC/AZTABLE2
WITH
      UNIQUE KEY [enter your unique key here],
      g_key1_save LIKE /BIC/AZTABLE2-key1,
      g_key2_save LIKE /BIC/AZTABLE2-key2,
      l_days_open type i,
      l_index like sy-tabix.
DATA: g_workarea2 LIKE /BI0/pmaterial,
      l_/BI0/pmaterial_itab TYPE HASHED TABLE OF /BI0/pmaterial
WITH
      UNIQUE KEY material,
      g_material_save LIKE /BI0/pmaterial-material,
      l_days2_open type i,
      l_index2 like sy-tabix.
Then define the checks you want to make:
FORM check_producttype USING    l_producttype
                    CHANGING g_workarea2 LIKE /BI0/pmaterial.
IF l_material NE g_material_save.
    CLEAR g_workarea2.
    SELECT SINGLE * FROM /BI0/pmaterial INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF
g_workarea2 WHERE
                    material = l_material AND
                    objvers = 'A'.
    g_material_save = l_material.
ENDIF.
ENDFORM.
FORM check_incentive USING    l_key1 l_key2
                    CHANGING g_workarea LIKE /BIC/AZTABLE2.
IF l_key1 NE g_key1_save OR
      l_key2 NE g_key2_save.
    CLEAR g_workarea.
    SELECT SINGLE * FROM /BIC/AZTABLE2 INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF
g_workarea WHERE
                    key1 = l_key1 AND
                    key2 = l_key2
    g_key1_save = l_key1.
g_key2_save = l_key2.
ENDIF.
ENDFORM.
Finally, execute your whole thing:
PERFORM check_producttype USING COMM_STRUCTURE-material
                         CHANGING g_workarea2.
PERFORM check_incentive USING COMM_STRUCTURE-key1
                         CHANGING g_workarea.
IF g_workarea2-producttype EQ ...
ELSE.
ENDIF.
and so on...
RESULT =...
Hope this helps.

Date not coming in proper format after applying formula in Update Rules

Hi All,
I have two time characteristics "Goods Issue date" and "Goods Return date" and One key figure "No. of days elapsed".
The key figure "number of days elapsed" is being calculated by taking difference of "goods issue date" from "goods return date", but the format for that is not coming proper for example:-
Goods Issue Date is 21.06.2006
Goods Return Date is 22.08.2006
According to formula No. of days elapsed shud be 62
but it is coming as 04.03.0001.
Please help as it is a urgent requirement.
Much Appreciated,
Sunil Morwal.

Dear Sunil,
Kindly check if creating 2 new KeyFigures (DATE) will be of help by assigning the said "two time characteristics" values.
From these 2 new KYFs, apply your formula..
Hope this helps..
Thanks.

Multiple selection in formula in update rule

Hi Guru's,
I want to make an exclude selection of two banks (ZCHBANK) of the whole bankselection (ZCHBNKSEL). I made an transformation between these two info objects and now I made a formula IF(BIC/ZCHBANK = (3.896) , 'N', 'J' ). Now I become a list of MD with all banknumbers with the sign J and only for banknumber 3.896 N. This is what I want. But now I want to have more banknumbers which not have to go through. So in other words bank 3.896, 3.202 and 3.980 must be excluded. I am struggling with the formula to exclude more than one banknumber.
I already tried the next formula's but nothing seems to work:
IF(BIC/ZCHBANK = (3.896) OR (3.980) , 'N', 'J' )
IF(BIC/ZCHBANK = (3.896) , (3.980) , 'N', 'J' )
IF(BIC/ZCHBANK = (3.896) , 'N', 'J' )OR IF(BIC/ZCHBANK = (3.980) , 'N', 'J' ).
IF(BIC/ZCHBANK = (3.896) , 'N', 'J' ) IF(BIC/ZCHBANK = (3.980) , 'N', 'J' ).
IF(BIC/ZCHBANK = (3.896) , 'N', 'J' )AND IF(BIC/ZCHBANK = (3.980) , 'N', 'J' ).
IF(BIC/ZCHBANK = (3.896) , 'N', 'J' )& IF(BIC/ZCHBANK = (3.980) , 'N', 'J' ).
Can anybody tell me how I can make a formula so three of banks of whole the bank selectionwill become 'N' in the formula and all the other banks will become 'J' ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Jens

Hi there,
Try this one:
IF(((BIC/ZCHBANK = 3.896) OR (BIC/ZCHBANK = 3.202) OR (BIC/ZCHBANK = 3.980)), 'N', 'J' )

Formula Problem in Update Rule

Hi all,
I am facing one problem with formula in update rule.
I have written one formula in update rule which it is working in development, but I moved the content to quality there it is not working.
I have used the following formula.
IF( NEGATIVE( TRUNC( Total Revenue in USD ) ) >= 5,000,000, 1, 0 )
Best Regards,
SGK

Hi
It should work fine,If you still facing the same problem,do one thing(work around)
Create a transport request for your cube with indata flow before,and then activate your update once again in dev server,then transport it...
Hope it helps
Thanks

How to use Master Data Attribute of in Update Rule's Formula

Hi experts.
In update rule, there is an option to use Master Data Attribute of. However, due to user requirement, I need to use that in Formula instead.
Field to update:
Profit Center
Logic:
If Cost Center is empty
Then Profit Center
Else
Master Data Attribute of Cost Center
I use the following formula at the moment but it is not 100% correct.
IF( Cost Center = '', Profit Center, Cost Center )
Appreciate if anyone could help me out.
Thanks!

Hi,
The easier thing to do will be to use a Update Routine.
Logic will be as follows :-
If Cost center iss initial.
Result = Profit Center
else.
result = Cost center.
endif.

Error with Update Rule Formula

I have the following formula in an update rule
CALMONTH_FISCPER( Calendar Year/Month, 'SO', 1 )
and get the error (below) when loading data to the cube (loads ok to PSA). I have checked ROUTINE_0001 via the Generated Program and it is referring to a problem with the formula could someone assist? Thanks
error in a formula function (ROUTINE_0001 routine)

Hi:
Yes. You will have to maintain Fiscal Variant and Period breakdowns for that year.
If data is coming from R/3, its a good idea to speak with R/3 Finanace and tell them to amintains variant and periods in R.3 and then you can do a Global Transfer.
If not, you can maintain them directly in BW. I think you know how to do this part.

Update rules -Empty or invalid formula error message (Message no. RSAR140)

Greetings to All,
I am trying to activate update rules from a DSO into a cube. I am getting the following error message:
Empty or invalid formula 43D46N8MX3MNP06MF69ZQ8L50
Message no. RSAR140
The problem is that I don't know how to lookup a formula by the technical name. I know you can right click to show technical names of the InfoObjects, but I don't know how to show the technical names of the formulas. Does anyone know some way to figure out which formula is the one causing the error when all I know is the technical name?
Thanks,
Sarah-Jane

Hi!
Thanks so much. That makes perfect sense, but when I look at that table using transaction SE16, and I click on the "Number of Entries" button, I get a message saying there are zero rows in the table. Could this be possible? I know this sounds really weird...
Just in general, how do I found out the names of tables like RSUPDFORM? Is there a data dictionary that I can query?
Thank You,
Sarah-Jane

URGENT !!! - ABAP code in update rule

Friends,
With my limited knowledge in ABAP, I need some help from the forum.
I need to create a routine in update rule to capture 'date of last GR against a PO delivery schedule'. Let's say
PO # 1234
IT # 10
SCL # 1
There are multiple partial deliveries against SCL # 1 above and I have to capture the last delivery date and subsequently the last invoice date. If I try to set the rule to capture the 'posting date' based of 'transfer type' - the GR date field gets overwritten by the last invoice date (the date of last activity). My requirement is to separate the two i.e.
1) Date of last GR against PO - Item - SCL line
2) Date of lasr INV against PO - Item - SCL line
Can any one help me with the code ???
Thanks,
AK
