Functionally LO Cockpit and FI Data Sources

Hi Experts,
I have been in BI for quite some time. I know general step of LO cockpit extraction quite well.
Can i get pdfs which functionally explain each application of LO data sources. Here by application i mean 2lis_11_ , 2lis_3_ i.e 3,11,12,etc. I want SD part cross related to BI.
Also understand kfs coming from SD source functionally to some extent.
I undertand application 3 datasources are run 1st when implementing LO, why so being explained in pdf. Functional significance of each application and all.
Same with the case of FI data sources. Can i get functional doucments which have signficance associacted with BI. I understand delta of some FI data sources work differently, which data source gets affected after which data source because of doc. postings and all.
End to end FI posting cycle and datasources getting affected would be very helpful.
I dont want to totally go into FI or SD, I want to learn their functional accumen reqd in terms of BI is concerned, so it createss better understanding in me.
Points will be assigned for sure.
Mihir
PS : I know basic data flow of LO properly. I want functional part pertaining to BI. But BI technical part comes along with functional part, then too I would be happy to get it.

It's a bit difficult to tell you this - apart from read the help files.
In addition to being a BW consultant for the past 10 years - I also have 13 years as a FICO consultant and each daya I am still learnign somethign new in Finance
Perhaps buy one of the FICO books that around - they dont cost that much

Difference between 0FI_AP_30 and 0FI_AP_4 Data source

HI,
What is the difference between 0FI_AP_30 and 0FI_AP_4 Data source.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
In addition to above differences. Below is the functional difference between 0FI_AP_30 & 0FI_AP_4:
0FI_AP_4 gives you accounts payable line items in your report. Here GL account shows the balances of particular types of vendors/payables to which that particular GL account is been assigned.
And If subledger is activated in ECC, then by using 0FI_AP_30 you can get the break up of that particular GL balance according to vendors.
To make use of datasource 0FI_AP_30, subledger accounting must be activated in ECC.

FUNCTION MODULE CREATION FOR GENERIC DATA SOURCE

Hi BI gurus,
I am creating function module for generic datasource. For that I followed below mentioned steps
Steps
1.     Created s structure with the fields that needed.
2. Created FM by copying the standard Function module
" RSAX_BIW_GET_DATA_SIMPLE " and Give a New name starting With
Y or Z .
3. IN SE37 ->Your Function module name -> Change, In table tab given structure
name by deleting the associated type given in E_T_DATA .
And inserted the required code given below
      PROGRAM 'ZHU_BALANCE'.
*& Report ZHU_BALANCE
TABLES: VEKP, VEPO.
DATA: BEGIN OF T_DISPLAY,
      DATE   LIKE SY-DATUM,
      EXIDV LIKE VEKP-EXIDV,
      LGORT LIKE VEPO-LGORT,
      WERKS LIKE VEKP-WERKS,
      END OF T_DISPLAY.
DATA: ITAB_DISPLAY LIKE TABLE OF T_DISPLAY.
DATA: WA_ITAB_DISPLAY LIKE LINE OF ITAB_DISPLAY.
SELECT VEKPEXIDV VEPOLGORT VEPO~WERKS
       INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE ITAB_DISPLAY
       FROM VEKP AS VEKP INNER JOIN VEPO AS VEPO
         ON VEKPVENUM = VEPOVENUM
         AND VEKPWERKS = VEPOWERKS
       WHERE VEKP~VSTEL = SPACE
         AND VEKP~VEGR1 = '401'
         AND VEKP~VPOBJ = '12'
         AND VEKP~STATUS = '0020'
         AND VEPO~VEPOS = '000001'.
LOOP AT ITAB_DISPLAY INTO WA_ITAB_DISPLAY.
WA_ITAB_DISPLAY-DATE = SY-DATUM.
MODIFY ITAB_DISPLAY FROM WA_ITAB_DISPLAY TRANSPORTING DATE.
ENDLOOP.
WRITE:/ 'DATE', 20 'EXIDV', 40 'LGORT', 60 'WERKS'.
ULINE.
LOOP AT ITAB_DISPLAY INTO WA_ITAB_DISPLAY.
WRITE:/ WA_ITAB_DISPLAY-DATE, 20 WA_ITAB_DISPLAY-EXIDV , 40 WA_ITAB_DISPLAY-LGORT, 60 WA_ITAB_DISPLAY-WERKS.
ENDLOOP.
While checking the function module its populating the syntax error as
THE TYPE SRSC_S_IF_SIMPLE IS UNKOWN. (Though this is commented in program)
So pls suggest
Regards,
praful

hi indira,
thanx for ur reply we have created the funcion module successfuly it is also showing the output correct. But when we put that function module in the generic data source and try to extract data in RSA3 it shows the correct output of function module but with the msg ' 0 entries found in customer enhancement' and therfore zero records in the display list.
is there any correction or steps to be followed in data extraction
pls suggest

Posting date in AFRU and 2lis_04_p_arbpl data source is not matching

Hi Experts,
We are facing an issue with 2LIS_04_P_ARBPL data source, posting date in AFRU table and in data source is not matching.
For example: we booked an activity confirmation of value 100 on 01.01.2015 posting date, Counter 1, Operation 10
For the same operation another counter is confirmed on 01.02.2015 posting date.
So, in AFRU table:
Prod Order     Operation     Confirmation Number     Counter     PostingDate     Activity
1001               10               8001                             1              01.01.2015       100
1001               10               8001                             2              01.02.2015       0
In 2lis_04_p_arbpl data source, counter field is missing due to which only 1 record is coming which is:
Prod Order     Operation     Confirmation Number     Counter     PostingDate     Activity
1001               10               8001                             1              01.02.2015       100
In data source, activity of value 100 is coming on 01.02.2015 date instead in AFRU table it is booked on 01.01.2015 posting date by which we are unable to match the value in query which is based on posting date.
Please help on this.
Thanks,
Sameer

Hi Sameer,
Please check on which date the production order has status as "completed".
It could be on 01.02.2015.

BOXI3.0: Universe and Local Data Source Selection

Hi all. I am Alias.
I have one question. For the full XI3.0 installation, one of the products is Web Intelligence Rich Client.
In Web Intelligence Rich Client, we can have Data Source Selection which is Universe and Local Data Source. But for Web Intelligence/InfoView, we can only select universe, or maybe canu2026 I need to explore more but still could not find it.
Hope you guys can help me on this matter.

Hi Jacques.
Thanks for the link.
WRC we need to install for every user desktop right? But for Webi/inforview we only install at server.
In term of licensing, how it works?

Can any body help loading data from dbase file .dbt to an oracle 10g table.
I tried last day with SQL LOADER, EXTERNAL table , and ODBC data source.
Why all of these utilities still failing to solve my problem ?
Is there an efficient way to reach this goal ?
Thanks in advance

export the dbase data file to text file,
then you have choice of using either sql loader or external table option to use.

OBIEE report with HFM and Essbase Data source

Hi All,
Just want your though can we get the data from HFM and Essbase data source in a single report i.e. for some account i want to show budget data from HFM and Forecast data from essbase in a single OBIEE report? If yes how can we model both Data source in rpd?

It possible but the challenge is to try to align the account hierarchy and the entity hierarchy between Essbase and HFM. HFM is looking the data at a top side consolidation level where planning will have more granular details to forecast correctly. The best solution is either to build a custom table in to import both sources, or to use HFM data into Essbase, or to use EPMA. The best in class solution stays to align hierarchies and metadata across applications. We implemented BI Financials Dashboard for the General Ledger, built a custom Dashboard connected in Real Time to Planning and are installing OFMA to connect HFM. Once done, you can rationalize metadata if not done before and start to link the different data into single reports. You will also have to ensure the data is refreshed at the same time to avoid inconsistency.

Excel Functions Do Not Work When Data Source is BW

Hello,
My platform is, BOBJ BI 4.0. Data source is SAP BW. BW is connected to XCelsius with BEx. My problem is, excel functions do not work when data source is BW. For example, Excel cell A1=quantity1 B1= quantity2 C1= excel function "=A1+B1" When data source is Excel, for example A1=5, B1=9 C1 automatically equals to 14. (There is no problem when data source is Excel) But, in BW, for example when BW set values to A1=5, B1=9, the system does not calculate C1. C1 always equals to initial value, the system does not care any excel calculation when data source is BW. Any guess for my problem? Thank you for your effort.

Hi,
As you are using very simple formula,it will work no matter which source you are consuming.As mentioned,try to place a simple component(Eg:spreadsheet),just to check whether you are getting the right calculated value or not.
As you are using BW as source,the Preview option will not show the runtime data,so you need to publish in Portal to check whether the calculation happened or not.
As far as I know only few fromulas are supported in Xcelsius,but these kind of simple formulas are very much supported.

Using a SQL data source and XML data source in the same template

I am trying to develop a template for the Request for Quote report generated in Apps 11.5.10. I have loaded the data from the XML output into the template, but I am missing one field - I need the org_id from the po_headers table. Is it possible to use a sql data source (i.e., "select org_id from po_headers_all where po_header_id = [insert header_id from xml data]...") in addition to the xml data source to populate the template at runtime? When you use the Insert > SQL functionality is it static at the time the template is created, or does it call to the database at runtime? I've looked through all the docs I could find, but this isn't clear.
Thanks for any help or suggestions you may have.
Rhonda

Hi Pablo
Thats a tough one ... if you go custom with a data template you will at least get support on the data template functionality ie you have a problem when you try and build one. You will not get support on the query inside the data template as you might have gotten with the Oracle Report, well you could at least log a bug against development for a bad query.
Eventually that Oracle Report will be converted by development anyway, theres an R12 project going on right now to switch the shipped OReports to data templates. AT this point you'll be fully supported again but:
1. You have to have R12 and
2. You'll need to wait for the patch
On reflection, if you are confident enough in the query then Oracle will support you on its implementation within a data template. Going forward you may be able to swap out your DT and out in the Oracle one without too much effort.

Report Viewer and Multiple Data Sources

I know that it is possible to create a report in Crystal Reports using multiple data sources. But is it possible to use just the Free Report Viewer to view a report with Multiple Data Sources?
Our company uses Crystal Reports XI. I do not use the program myself, I am in the IT Department. I have limited knowledge of Crystal and do not do any of the report writing.
If this is possible, and if someone could help me out with what would need to be done, or point me in the right direction of a Knowledge Base or Help Topic that explains this, that would be great.
Thanks.

I believe it can but both data sources need to be set up. Ask a report designer to help you use the Designer to test this and see what is required.

JRC and XML Data Source

Hi!
Does the JRC execute a report with an XML data source (URL XML Http and URL XSD Http) ?
If yes, does the JRC change programmatically the XML data source (URL XML Http and URL XSD Http) prior to execute the report?
There is an example to do this?

                         // Update the table information
                         clientDoc.getDatabaseController().setTableLocation(origTable, newTable);
But i don't know why if i call:
System.out.println(reportClientDoc.getDatabaseController().getDatabase().getTables().getTable(0).getConnectionInfo().getAttributes().toString());
on my
ReportClientDocument reportClientDoc = new ReportClientDocument();
reportClientDoc.open(ReportName, 0);
after changeDataSourceXML i've one more attribute than those defined by me called PreQEServerType that take the Server_Type value.
I think that is the cause of the output error of my program on the export method
ByteArrayInputStream byteArrayInputStream = (ByteArrayInputStream)reportClientDoc.getPrintOutputController().export(ReportExportFormat.PDF);

We are on Access Enforcer 5.2 - service pack 2:
My problem is that when creating a new request in AE, I able to get a list of all users when I point my User Data Source to either SAP or UME. However when I attempt to create a request whilst pointing the User Data Source at the SAPHR system, I do not get any users back (and we have user set up in the SAP HR system).
Ive changed the connector to YES under the HR System box, Ive changed the Data Source Type and Details Source Type to point at the SAPHR and still it fails to fetch any users.
I've tried looking at the log, but can't get much out of it.
I would appreciate it, if anyone could provide any assistance.
Thanks you in advance.

Hi Micheal,
Thanks for your reply.
I'm pointing both Data Source Type and Details Source Type to the same system SAPHR and to the same system name (which is our dev system)

Functionally LO Cockpit and FI Data Sources
