Hierarchy Node Value

Question

Hi All,
I need to create a CAPEX Query with "Program Position" Hierarchy as the row
and "Current Budget" as the column. In my query, the value of the nodes are always the sum of related leaves, while actually the nodes have it's own value.
Is there a way so I can display the nodes' original value instead of the total value from the leaves ?
Here is the brief illustration :
Type         ProgPos      CurBudget
Node         IT                600 --> while the CurBudget for Node IT is actually 1000
Leave        IT1              300
Leave        IT2              100
Leave        IT3              200
Thanks,
Andy

Hi Eric,
It’s not that they’re imbalance, but in this budget case, the amount of the parent node is not the same with the sum of its child level (similar to TCode IM33).
Here is the more detail explanation :
Let’s say the IT Department in my company has a budget with amount equals to 1000 USD. This budget will be distributed to 3 projects (IT1 = 300 USD, IT2 = 100 USD, IT3 = 200 USD), so the total distributed budget for the IT department is 600 USD and the budget that can still be distributed (distributable budget) is equal to 400 USD.
These 3 projects can also distribute their budgets to the level below, so they will also have their own amount of current, distributed and distributable budget.
In the infocube that I use for my query, the data looks like this :
ProgPos     CurrentBudget          DistributedBudget     DistributableBudget
IT          1000                600               400
IT1          300               50               250
IT2          100               25               75
IT3          200               200               0
I also extract Program Position hierarchy master data with IT1, IT2, and IT3 as the leaves of node IT.
For the query, I use Program Position as the row, Current Budget as the column, and filter the query with Leave Indicator = ‘X’. The result is as follows……….it sums the leaves amount to the node.
Type     ProgPos     CurrentBudget
Node      IT          600
Leave     IT1          300
Leave     IT2          100
Leave     IT3          200
If I remove the filter, the IT ProgPos is displayed as a leave with the correct value (1000 USD), but it’s still summarized into the node, and it’s not OK since the user can have a wrong perception.
Type     ProgPos     CurrentBudget
Node      IT          1600
Leave     IT          1000
Leave     IT1          300
Leave     IT2          100
Leave     IT3          200
The result that I actually expect is something like this :
Type     ProgPos     CurrentBudget
Node      IT          1000
Leave     IT1          300
Leave     IT2          100
Leave     IT3          200
Please advise me in this matter……..
Thanks,
Andy
