HFM Period Year Options as Variables

Hello Gurus,
Can someone please show me the syntax for using variables in the HFM data extract options - using the LKM-Hyperion Financial Management Data to SQL? For example, I created two variables 'HFMClosePeriod' and HFMCloseYear'. I want to use these variables to define the option values for 'Period' and 'Year' using the above variables. I have tested my interface using hard-coded values but this is not realistic. I have tried entering the varable name in the Value field [for example - #HFMClosePeriod] but the interface doesn't recognize the variable. John Goodwin's post recommended using a package but I receive the same results.
Your assistance is greatly appreciated!

Hi,
We are having similar difficulty as mentioned in the below replies.
The difference in our case is HFM consolidation through ODI. We are using IKM SQL to HFM, this IKM takes consolidation parameters in below format:
Specifies the parameters for consolidate operation as comma-separated values in the order Scenario, Year, Period, Parent.Entity and Type (represented by a letter as given below).
Consolidation types and the letters that represent them are listed below:
     I = Consolidate
     D = Consolidate All with Data
     A = Consolidate All
     C = Calculate Contribution
     F = Force Calculate Contribution
e.g. Actual,1999,2,EastRegion.EastSales,A
Now the client requirement is to pass Year & Period dynamically. I tried passing variable through package method, as told by John goodwin but IKM doesn't seem to be picking variable values.
Has any one tried this before..?? Aany help would be appreciated..
Regards,
Kanu

How to Create a selection variable for Fiscal period/year range

How to Create a selection variable for Fiscal period/year range. The idea is to filter the query results using a fiscal period/year range user input rather than a full fiscal year input.

Hi Priya,
Open the query in a query designer -> in the left hand side you would find the fiscal year period under the time dimension -> right click -> create variable -> create the variable.
The better option would be use any of the SAP provided variable. You would find them under the Fiscal year period in the left hand side in the query designer.

Multiple FDM users processing in one location, period, year, scenario

Can more than one user go through a process flow for the same location, period, year, scenario with separate data files (i.e. different entities for different locations)? How does FDM handle the queue process?
Any best practice suggestions for the process flow?

Actually the answer is yes. I'm not sure why you would want to do this with one exception. Assuming that the files are in the same format, say you get one file that has balance sheet items only and the P&L data comes later. You process the balance sheet file then later you import as an append for the P&L file and process/load that data. I have seen this before. What this does is maintain your audit trail which is very important. Now say all of the bs and p&l come in one file, yet you want to load mutliple entities because each entity has it's own file. The very first file should be imported as a Replace and the remainder of the files should be imported as an append. Once you have imported all of the files you can then click Validate, then Export so that you process them all at once (you do not have to Import/Validate/Export each file) which would save you time. Again, you maintain your audit trail. However, if you import each file as a Replace, then Validate and Export each file seperately then all of your data will still load into the target system, which for example is HFM, but the audit trail only shows the data for the last file you processed. It's always best to have a seperate FDM location for each file (unless it's my first example where the data for a single entity is split).
On another note, I'm not sure what you mean by how does FDM handle the queue process but it can import mutliple files at the exact same time, such as 5 users importing their own files to their own FDM locations. If these 5 users are importing files at about the same time then the last one to import will "win" so to speak.
If the different entities from different files are loaded to different FDM locations then there is no overlapping because FDM keeps the data for each location seperate, by location, period, and category. It's the combination of the 3. If you have a location called Michigan, the Period is Jan - 2009, and the Category is Actual and you load data it won't overwritten by any entity unless someone takes a file and imports it to Michigan/Jan - 2009/Actual. If they take their file and import it into say, Florida/Jan - 2009/Actual instead then the two will always be seperate in the FDM database.

Flexible Upload of Data for several periods/years

Hey Colleagues,
my client wants me to develop a new functionality to upload data for several periods/years. The function they are using right now and correctly is the flexible upload.
As we have already developed several custom tasks and enhancements/modifications we try to not modificate further SAP standard or to post directly (back-door solution)
But:
It is no problem to start the flexible upload for different selecitons and to provide the values in an excel sheet. But I have problems to avoid a popup for selecting the excel file. It would be no problem if for example Batch-Input would work here, or if we would post directly using standard functionality (posting method with data change) but in this case we try to use the flex upload.
Has anyone experienced a similiar problem? Can we use the flex upload with suppressing the popup to select the file WITHOUT an enhancement?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Yavuz

Hi Yavuz,
Yes this can work for every period in one year - use the multiperiod processing option, available since EHP2 (BCS 6.02).
The multiperiod processing requires you to define the consolidation cycle and start period, so you could define it to start with p1 and include all 12+ periods of the year.
NB the multiperiod processing is initiated by running with selection screen - right click and selec "run for remaining periods of the year"
You can run either a task or a task group for the rest of the consoliation cycle, but data collection with flexible upload MUST have the presentation server settings (already mentioned above) or the data collection task will not work.
So you make the configuration settings
You then save your multi-period file on the presentatin server
You then go to data collection (flexible upload) task in p1 and "run for remaining periods"

Date Picker with Previous and Next Year Options

Hi All,
I am implementing a date picker in my application which is tied to an attribute of type PA0001-BEGDA. Date Picker as such works fine but navigating to previous year and Next year options are not available. User has to go month by month to different years if they have to navigate.
Is this the normal behavior of the Date Picker or am I missing something else to get the previous and Next year icons in the Date Picker.
Thanks,
Nagarajan.

hmm..I tried using the select options and it did give the same date picker with the previous and Next navigation icons...The only problem with the select options is that its a single field which has the range and can accept multiple values too...
I tried to figure out how the date picker that we use in the custom application and the one in Select Options differ but no luck...Does this ring any bell?
Thanks,
Nagarajan.

Result Analysis Values For particular period/year!!

Hi Experts
We are in a customer project, tenure of a project is around 2 to 3 years. As company follows Accounting standard AS-7 where we need to recognize the revenues in the same period in which the cost incurred. So, to achieve that we have planned the cost and revenue periodically for the years 2011-2012 ,2012-2013. But when i am running RA (KKA2) the results shows planned revenue and cost as sum of all the years ,so accordingly POC will be based on overall Plan Cost and not Annual(Period ) based.
But our requirement is that when i run RA for given period of particular year then RA should show planned cost and revenue for that particular period/year and accordingly rest of the values like; POC, WIP, Reserves etc.. should get calculated .
Please suggest how to approach to achieve the same.
Thanks in advance..

I think it is possible to meet your requirement through valuation method settings.
please read sap help on RA.

Missing Future Fiscal Period/Year

One of the material - in MM03 Costing 2 Tab
- Future Fiscal Period/Year is blank but Planned Price exist.
Can someone explain the scenarios as to to how this could happen?
Thanks!

Hi Arun,
Well ! There are 2 steps in Material Standard Cost Eistmate...
1st step is Marking and 2nd one is Releasing .. First you do the Marking for the material, after Marking, the Future Planned Price and Period/Fiscal Year will be updated in the Material Master Costing 2. After you will Release the standard cost estimate for that materiallk. Once you Release the standard cost estimate, The Future Planned Price will be moved to Current Planned Price in the material master Costing 2 View.
Once the above is happend, The Future Planned Price & Period/Fiscal year will be blank. Current Planned Price will be update.
I hope you will have clear idea now..
Thanks

Period/Year format in KE30

Till 2010 the Period/Year format in KE30 should to be :012/2010 December 2010

Authorization Variables with Optional Selection Variables

Has anyone used authorization variables in addition to optional selection variables?
I'm getting funny results and trying to figure out why.
Here's the scenario:
InfoObject zcompany has 5 values A - E
UserX is authorized to see all 5 values in his user profile.
In the query zcompany has two variables assigned to it. 1 is an optional multiple selection variable, and 2) is an authorization variable
Here's the funny result:
User X runs the query and selects company A from the optional selection criteria, he clicks execute and but the results returned are companies A - E. ?????
Is there a processing order here? Are the authorizations being processed last and overwriting the selection criteria? My users are annoyed with me because they feel like they have to pick everything twice.
Any help anyone could provide would be much appreciated.
thanks
Smitty

Hey Bhanu,
thanks for the reply.
I kinda tried that in the past and found out that it really annoyed my user community.
I guess im looking for the best of both worlds here, because I like the fact that the authorization variable limits the optional selection values for the users that are only allowed to see one or two things, but for the super users this creates the issue described above because they're allowed to see everything. But sometimes, the power users only want to see one or two values... and thus the problem above.
I noticed in the query information the value for zcompany was "Complex Selection" is that the system's way of saying that it's confused?

Period/Year of First data entry in Company code.

What is the purpose the period and year of data entry is helpful in BCS.
Is it indicate the system that from this period onwards to calculate the MI?
Please share your opinion. Points will be rewarded.

Hi Gokul,
as it is said before: You are not allowed to load data with movement type that are used for "stock", on which data is carried forward. But of course if you start the consolidation initial, you need to upload data also for this movement type. So in the first period / year you are allowed to upload data here.
