Free Characteristic, range value, filtering query for iveiw in WAD

Using the web application designer I am adding a query (BW 3.5) to a sales portal (EP 6.0) of all projected wins (custom characteristic on opp header). Sales has requested I provide in by mth and by qtr. I created value ranges in my projected win characteristic in the query of 4/1-4/30,5/1-5/31 etc. and have attempted to use the
Filter
Navigation block
and
Drop down and radio were I get every date of the month and not just the ranges I created.
Can I do this through a query and and the WAD or do I have to do some custom work.
Will award points!

Hi,
the feature you are requesting is called "Master Data Planning". Unfortunately it is not supported by SAP. Please use the term "master data planning " to search this forum and you will find some threads about this issue.

TDS Amount on Vendor Advance Shows positive value in *QUERY* for TDS Report

Hi Everybody,
I have made a query for List of TDS Report with Vendor informations as required by my client. In which the value of TDS on Vendor Advance Payment appears as positive value instaead of negative value. Please suggest how to rectify.
Thanks,
Paul

Dear,
If you have cleared the advance in F-54, then this will reverse the tax amount. That could be the reason for tax amount in debit.

Adding values in query for like materials.

Greetings Gurus,
I am very new to ABAB. I recently made a query attached to an infoset, that lists the amount received from a purchase order and compares the amount that was ordered (overdelivery allowed). With this I added a custom field and and in the Extras/Code tab I added (for "Record Processing")
IF MSEG-BPMNG > EKPO-MENGE.
ZCUSTOMF = 'OVERDELIVERED'.
ELSE.
CLEAR CUSTOMFIELD.
ENDIF.
This compares the amount received vs the amount ordered and gives a new field value if overdelivery occured. However it occurred that there may be multiple batches of the same material when received. When this happens the query displays multiple lines (same material document number) with each amount and does not add the value of the different batches of the same material. Is there any additional code that could be added that 'When the same material document number and same material' appear more than once to add the quantity received together and view it on one line? Any kind of help (especially with ABAP explanations) at all is greatly appreciated.
Thank You

Hi,
You have to Loop at the itab which you are processing in the same code tab with looping at itab at the material document you are processing at that moment. then sum up the Qty and Amount at the end of the loop and then check the amounts and then update the custom field for that PO or material document.
As this code will be repeated for all the items of the document every time when you loop for that specific document just check whether the custom field is empty or not . Process the loop if empty only. As if i t is not empty then it is understood that thsi item has been processed earlier.

Cell definitions depending on value of free characteristic

Hello,
I have the following requirement for one BEx query:
Depending on the value of a free characteristic (material), values in certain cells shall be shown or not. Values in these cells are usually calculated by cell definitions. When the user selects certain materials (e.g. A1, C3) during query navigation the values in those cells have to be 0, i.e. the values that are calculatd by cell definitions should not be shown.
When other materials are chosen by the user, those cells should show the calculated values.
I tried to create a replacement path formula variable in order to create a 0/1-switch (find out the value of the selected material and compare it with predefined materials (A1, C3)).
However, the value of a formula variable has to be a number. So that's no solution for my requirement.
Do you have any ideas how to solve this requirement? Note that there is no entry variable for material.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Make 3 restricted key figurs on market value restricting them with rating AAA, AA and A.
Lets say RKF1 for rating AAA
RKF2 for rating AA and
RKF3 for rating A.
Now you can use these 3 key figurs in your formula key figure which can simple be
RKF10,4 + RKF20,3 + RKF3*0,2.
In this way you are already sure that only one of the RKF's will have a value and depending on the rating it will be multiplied with the value you have in your logic.
Hope this helps.

Defining Range values for a keyfigure

Hi Frnds,
I have a keyfigure which is populated at cube level for calculating total years of experience with routine.
In my query it is giving me perfect result. But I want to display the Years of experience between range values. i.e
For eg:
Range    | Number of employees
<1         | 10
1-2         |   20
3-5         |   30
I have tried with conditions but it didnt work.
So how can I define ranges for a keyfiger?
Can any body pls give me solution for this.
Thanks,
Sridhar

Hi
You can get this by using restricted keyfigure.First you need to have a keyfigure for number of employees on which you can have restricted keyfigure restricting on years of experience.

Applying functions to database fields when querying for a form field

Hi,
how is it possible to apply trim() or another method to the content of a database field when a query is initiated?
The actual problem is that there are entries in the database which are entailed by a blank and, because the user is not aware of this fact, he cannot be forced to add a blank or % to the form field he is querying.
Does anyone have an idea how to solve this issue?
Thank you very much in advance.

The where clause is built that way:
WHERE (ETN.trim(ETN_PLZ)=:1)
The error message:
ORA-00904: "ETN"."TRIM": invalid identifier
Actually, I guess that the trim statements should surround ETN.ETN_PLZ but that is obviously not the case.
Apart from that I did not enter 1 as the value to query for.
Nevertheless, thank you for your help. Forms version is 10.1.2 by the way.

Char Values on query

On left hand side of query designer what are the char values on query for an infoobject is it master or transaction data.

Hi,
On Left hand side we have Key Figures, Dimensions which contain Characteristics ,Calc KF, Restricted KF and Time Characteristics. We can see Master data for the Characteristics here but it is suggested to Drag particular Char to Rows and see desired master data attributes here in the Report.
Hope This Helps,

Restrict Characteristic on value range in Query Designer

Hi,
In 3.5, it was possible to restrict a filter in the query designer on a value range, even if the start- and end values of that range did not exist in the master data.
In 2004s, it is possible to restrict single value filters to a non-existing masterdata value. However, for value ranges, this does not seem to be the case. Do you know any workaround for this?
Regards,
Daniel

of course, BI 7.0 support value range for restrict.Please kindly release more information about your case .
Value Range
Instead of selecting single values you can quickly gather multiple characteristic values using this next option. This choice provides the following additional options:
1. Between
2. Greater than or equal to
3. Less than or equal to
4. Greater than
5. Less than

Issue with Free Characteristic filtering in BEx Query

We are using Cost Center hierarchy as a free characteristic in the report and when the user tries to apply a filter for selecting a particular cost center, we are able to see both the Key and Text. But after the query applies the filter and if we go back to change the filter from one cost center to the other, we are not able to see the Text of the cost center. It is just displaying the cost center number. The only way we can get the text back is by refreshing the query. Any suggestions on how to avoid this problem?
Thanks
Madhav Nanduri

I tested couple of other reports where the cost center hierarchy is created as a free characteristic and the problem is appearing in all the queries.
Thanks,

Impossible Filter on Bex for free characteristic

Hi,
   We have a problem on a workbook. Our query has as free characteristics company and profit center for enabling the user to filter on the workbook.
   But when the query is executed on the workbook and the user try to select filter values on company or profit center the dialog always show no data, and the filter is not possible.
The only way to filter for individual value is make a drill-down and later a drill-up, after this process filter dialog shows values for filtering. But this method is very slow and heavy for the users.
Any suggestion will be appreciate.

I too am having the same problem.
Its with WBS Element. I have restricted WBS element to some values in the "Charectaristic Restrictions" and then in the "Default Values" selected the hierarhy node variable.
The query runs fine if the selection is made from the "Change Variable Values" button in the Analyzer but when I try to select any nodes in the Filters on the analyzer it give "No Applicable Data".
Can anyone please explain.
I am on BI 7.0.
Thanks

Authorization to inhibit the drilldown of a Free Characteristic in a Query

Hi all
I have a problem: I want to implement authorizations profiles for two different roles linked to two users, in order to allow the execution of a query from Bex Analyzer. The Query contains the free characteristic "A", which is an authorization relevant object
- On the first role I want to allow the user to display only values "x" and "y" for the characteristic A: I used analysis authorizations and it works properly
- On the second one role I need to inhibit the possibility to drilldown characteristic "A", but the user should execute the same query without restrictions. Is it possible without creating a new Query that doesn't contain "A" as a free characteristic?
Thanks in advance
Ugo

Hi,
Have you tried authorization value ':'? Basically, value ':' has 2 purposes.
1. Enable execution of query that do not contain authorization-relevant InfoObjects that are checked in the cube.
2. Enable summary data to be reported for characteristic levels where users does not have authorization to access details data.
So, perhaps you can give the user authorization value ':' and build your second query without the authorization object in the free chars.

Kate

How can i manipulate Filter for a free characteristic?

Hello,
I have an report with free characteristic 0material.
When the user restricts values for 0material, the report should add value "#" automatically whatever the user selects.
Example:
Material: aa123, aa124,aa125, #.
when i filter:
aa123 --> query: aa123+#
aa124 --> query: aa124+# and so on.
i'm trying to do this with user exit for global variables but i'm not beeing sucessfull.
Any ideia?
Thanks a lot,
Regards,
Maria

Hi,
What i want is:
if the user input is M001 then ABAP should convert it as M001,#
If the user input is M001, M002 then ABAP should convert it as M001, M002,#
If the user input is M001, M002, M003 then ABAP should convert it as M001, M002, M003,#
is like M001 or M002.
i tried with several options and nothing works.
Last change:
Only 1 one variable with Changeable with Query Navigation function active and user input not active.
ABAP code:
    IF i_step = 2.
      CLEAR loc_var_range.
      loc_var_range-vnam = 'VAR1'.
      loc_var_range-iobjnm = 'INFOOBJECT'.
      loc_var_range-sign = 'I'.
      loc_var_range-opt = 'EQ'.
      loc_var_range-low = '#'.
      APPEND loc_var_range TO i_t_var_range.
    ENDIF.
This is still not working. I executed the query in debug and i notice that table i_t_var_range does not have the new entry with # in step 3.
Am i doing somethign wrong?
Thanks
Maria

Supress warning message in Query Analyzer after free characteristic removed

Hi
I have a query and several workbooks looking to the same query.
When I remove a free characteristic from the query (not the cube) I am presented with a warning message when opening Analyzer indicating that the removed field is no longer available on the report.
Is there any way to supress these warning messages? I am aware of the option Settings > Supress warnings from server but I would not want to ask every people to do this in the company. Is there a way I can supress the warning from the query?
We are running 3.x for this particular query and report.
Thanks

Hi,
In RSRT, you have an option for the suppressing the messages.
Have a look on the below link -

Dump when trying to display characteristic values in QUERY DESIGNER

Hi Experts,
Life seems to become a struggle with 7.0 for me :-(.
My current problem:
If I try to display characteristic values in Query Designer (left section of screnn, wthin dimensions) system dumps frequently.
It's that kind of dump, that doen't help really (to my oponion)_
What happened?
    The exception 'CX_RSR_X_MESSAGE' was raised, but it was not caught anywhere
     along
    the call hierarchy.
    Since exceptions represent error situations and this error was not
    adequately responded to, the running ABAP program
     'CL_RSBOLAP_BICS_SERVICES======CP' has to be
    terminated.
How to correct the error
    If the error occures in a non-modified SAP program, you may be able to
    find an interim solution in an SAP Note.
    If you have access to SAP Notes, carry out a search with the following
    keywords:
    "UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION" "CX_RSR_X_MESSAGE"
    "CL_RSBOLAP_BICS_SERVICES======CP" or "CL_RSBOLAP_BICS_SERVICES======CM003"
    "HANDLE_UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION"
... etc.

Any ideas?

Hi Vikram,
Thanks for reply. Reinstalling GUI was successful, but - error still occurs. ..
