How to calculate gross margin Return on Investment in BEX

Hello Experts,
I need to create a Report where in I need to display Average last Valuated Stock of the Given month range in the selection screen
Example:
If I give the month selection range like 06.2006 to 08.2006
The Average should calculated like this
Gross Margin Return on Investment (GMROI)=
Closing Stock of 05.2005+closing Stock of 06.2006 + closing Stock of 07.2006+Closing Stock of 08.2006
Number of months i. e 4
But my problem is if I give the range like 06.2006 to 08.2006
Either this should take the previous months Closing Stock( I mean it should consider 05.2006 Closing Stock) or
Opening and Closing Stock of the 06.2006 closing stock of 07.2006 closing stock of 08.2006
But the number of months should be 4
How can I approach this scenario can any one give me the idea
Thanks and regards

Hi,
i think you can achieve this with two single Value variables.Because you would not able to define offset if use one variable to enter range.
1.Crate two single value,mandatory,ready for input variables on month lets assume ZMONTH1 and ZMONTH2 to enter from and To month values.assume ZMONTH1 for from value and ZMONTH2 is for To value.
2.in Query designer restrict month In free chars with thse two variables.but dont forget to select 'Value Range' instead of 'Single values' while restricting.You can swap the intervals if required by right clicking.
3.Now create 4 Restricted Keyfigures using offset on month.
in RKF1 ,Restrct month with ZMONTH1 and ofset value -1.
in RKF2 ,restrict month with ZMONTH1 and offset 0.
RKF3: ZMONTH2 and offset -1
RKF4: ZMONTH2 and ofset 0.
Just try it out and let me know whether it works or not.
Regards

How to calculate First Date of Posting Period in BEx Query

Hi,
I have 2 reporting requirements as follows:
1) User will either enter a single posting period in a fiscal year or can enter a range of posting periods.
Based on user selection I need to display three key figures in a report.
Key figure 1 and Key Figure2 should be the summarized values for each posting period.
key Figure 3 should be the value on the first date of that particular posting period (in case user selects multiple posting periods i should derive the value of the first date of each posting period).
2) Also, in another report I need to display only top 8 values for one key figure in the report.
Please let me know the method or code required to get this Functionality.
Thanks in advance.

First Report
1. Create Restricted KeyFigure 1 & 2 for the summarized values.
2. Create a Customer Exit Variable for getting the first date of the posting period, this should be of type Interval. Write code using FM FIRST_DAY_IN_PERIOD_GET to get. Read the selection variable to see the range of posting period and you have to insert that many first dates into this variable.
3. Create a new Restricted KeyFigure 3 and use the Customer Exit variable created in Step 2
Second Report
Use the Top N functionality of BEx and create a workbook. You can set the option Refresh query when the workbook is open so that the data is current when opened.
Hope this helps.

How to calculate New customers and Returning customers in a Pivot Table?

Hi,
I have a Pivot table with columns as Order Date, Customer Name, Qty, Cost, Freight, Invoice, Adv Payment. I have only 30 customers and 11000 transactions for 4 years sales period.
How to calculate New customers and Returning customers in Pivot Table for any given Month or Quarter or Year. I am open to use helper column, formula or a calculated field etc
Thanks
Arjun

Hi Arjun,
I have received the file and read it, based on your further explain, I know your requested more clarity. In my view, the requested could be done via VBA code or Select function in other dataset, like Access/SQL. (Because before we count the new
customer and return customer, we might to filter them via rule, the formula need to assign the customer one by one. So, it's inefficient）
Thus, I recommend we try the above workaround: Use macro or Select function in Access. If you have further question about the coding, please post to the MSDN forum for Excel

If I have a 10% Gross Margin formula can I change one task to calculate at 15%

I am working in MS Project 2010 Pro, I have set a column with a custom field to a 10% Gross Margin formula, is there a way I can change one task to a 15% Gross Margin formula?
I am also having a problem opening two project schedules at once, for some reason when I open the second schedule it's like I lose the schedule.
Thank you for all the help,
Celia

John,
I am trying the formula Rod suggested up in the thread:
[Cost]*(1+[Number1]).
Now to edit the margin for individual tasks you just edit Number1.
Thank you,
Celia

Report for calculating gross margin

Hello Experts,
We need a report where we can find the gross margin .
We have wholesale and Retail where the items are set up in a way that the date goes to the same journal entry.How can we separate this and calculate the gross margin for different BP type .BP code for wholesale starts with "W" and for retail it starts "C".
Any help/suggestion is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Have you tried Sales Analysis report by customer? You can select different groups of customer by BP code.
Thanks,

How to calculate average value?

Hi all,
I'm using Lumira 1.15. I'm doing some practices with the sample dataset BestRunCorp... I want to calculate the average value of gross margin which is grouped by lines so that I can use a line chart to show the difference between the gross margin value and average value.
How can I achieve this ?
Best regards,
Shuang

It looks like it calculates the average based on the dimension
See below:
If you take the "Best run" Excel file, sort by country, calculate the average in Excel, it matches Lumira's 4,056 (for Argentina)
I am not sure I follow your divide by 12 logic?

How to calculate first date and end date of this year in Query

Hi Expert
I want to calculate following dates with inputted date in query.
I have no knowledge on ABAP and I just can create a query with simple logic.
Could you teach me how to calculate following date?
(If inputted date is April 12 2009)
- First date of this year (Ex January 1 2009)
- End date of this year (Ex December 31 2009)
- First date of last year (Ex January 1 2008)
- End date of last year (Ex December 31 2008)

Thank you!
Take

HR_JP_MONTH_BEGIN_END_DATE use this FM to get the begin and end date of the Date you are passing. eg when u give input as 04/12/2009, it will return
04/01/2009 as begin date
04/30/2009 as end date
pass the Year in this FM HR_E_GET_FISC_YEAR_DATES, you will get the Fiscal year Begin and End Dates

BAPI_ACC_INVOICE_RECEIPT_POST how to calculate tax

Hallo folks,
i can't figuere out how to calculate the tax with the bapi BAPI_ACC_INVOICE_RECEIPT_POST. I already searched the Forums and google but no Solution helped me.
I don't really get it, which fields i have to fill. For example i do i have to fill the amt_base for every item or just for the tax structure?
    ls_accgl-comp_code = ls_outtab-zzfaleiemp.
    ls_accgl-tax_code   = 'V3'.
    ls_accgl-profit_ctr = ls_outtab-prctr.
    ls_accgl-sales_ord = ls_outtab-kdauf.
    ls_accgl-s_ord_item = ls_outtab-kdpos.
    APPEND ls_accgl TO lt_accgl.
    CLEAR ls_curamt.
    ls_curamt-itemno_acc     = l_itemno.
    ls_curamt-currency_iso   = 'EUR'.
    ls_curamt-amt_doccur     = ls_outtab-zzsum.
ls_acctax-itemno_acc = l_itemno.
ls_acctax-tax_rate   = '19.000'.
ls_acctax-gl_account = ls_accgl-gl_account.
ls_acctax-tax_code   = 'V3'.
ls_acctax-acct_key   = 'VST'.
ls_acctax-cond_key   = 'MWVS'.
APPEND ls_acctax TO lt_acctax.
CLEAR ls_curamt.
ls_curamt-itemno_acc = l_itemno.
ls_curamt-currency   = 'EUR'.
* ls_curamt-amt_doccur = l_sum.
ls_curamt-amt_base   = l_sum.
APPEND ls_curamt TO lt_curamt.
Because it doesn't matter what field i fill in TA FB03 there never come any taxes up.
has anybody some Ideas?
Best regards

How to calculate acquisition value for specified day

Hi,
in my z program I have a problem how to calculate acquisition value for my asset for specified day.
Example:
I have asset created 8.7.2008 with TTYPE 104 (External asset acquisition) with value 5950.
30.11.2008 there is another TTYPE 272 (Retirement of current-yr acquis., w/o revenue) with value 950.
So BEFORE 30.11.2008 acquisition value is 5950. After is 5000. Is there any function module (or something else) in SAP system where I can send asset number and date a it return to me acquisition value for that day?
Many thanks for any answer!

Hi,
your suggestion means that I have to compute acquisition value by myself (sum all TTYPE 1** - sum all TTYPE 2**). So SAP does't provide such functionality (LDB ADA have it, because it can compute acquisitiob value for specific day)?
Mant thanks for answer

At the first line,the Resource was "J0103033   WC1      A03",and the Quantity was "3600".
I don't know why the Quantity was "3600" or where the Quantity come from?
So I need someone tell me how to calculate the Quantity?
Thank you so much.
Regards
Yoda

Hi,
Pl note the Item Category, " M "- Material - The 3 quantity has been picked up from BOM correctly.
You are referring to Quantity 3600, which is against item category - E. Item category " E" means Internal activity allocation i.e the date flows through assignment to Routing. Check the Work center, Cost center & Activity types J0103033 WC1 A03 1001.
Now i think it is clear.
Cheers !

What are my daily sales?
What is my Gross Profit?
What is my Gross Sales?
this is star schema
now how i calculate yearly sales, monthly sales, and also gross profit.
create procedure spgrossprofit
as
select as grossprofit from dimfact
now which aggregate function i use for calculate above conditions?
any help?

Sorry(ETC) is a Spanish expression = the same for the next option
The correct query:
Year/Month
create procedure spyearlysales
as
select sum(totalsales),Year(Dimtime.date) from Dimtime
inner join Dimfact on Dimtime.Time_Key=dimfact.Time_Key
group by Year(Dimtime.date)create procedure spmonthsales
as
select sum(totalsales),year(Dimtime.date),Dimtime.Month from Dimtime
inner join Dimfact on Dimtime.Time_Key=dimfact.Time_Key
group by Year(Dimtime.date),Dimtime.Month

How to calculate percentage and difference of two values in matrix report in ssrs 2008

Hi everyone,
DB--SQL server
SSRS-2008
I am creating matrix report with grouping on WEEK and Fiscalyearweek,
I need to calculate of difference between FY14W01,FY15W01 ande percentage of those..
how to calculate in ssrs level.
Thank You, Manasa.V

Hi veerapaneni,
According to your description, you want to calculated the increment percentage and difference between two fiscal year week within each week. Right?
In this scenario, since we need to do calculation based on values between dynamically generated cells, we can't simply use expression to achieve this goal. In this scenario, we need to use custom code to record the value for fiscal 14 and fiscal 15, then
we can calculate the difference and percentage within the column group. We have tested your case in our local environment, please refer to the steps and screenshots below:
1. Add the custom code below into the report (you may need to modify the data type based on your scenario:
Public Shared Value1 as Integer
Public Shared Value2 as Integer
Public Shared previous as string
Public Shared previousweek as string
Public Shared Function GetValue(Value as Integer,product as String,Week as String) as Integer
If product =previous and Week =previousweek Then
     Value2=Value
Else
previous=product
previousweek=Week
Value1=Value
End If
     return Value
End Function
Public Shared Function GetPct()
     return (Value2-Value1)/Value1
End Function
Public Shared Function GetDiff()
     return Value2-Value1
End Function
2. Design the matrix like below:
3. The result look like below:
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
