How to consider an object as Line Item Dimension?

Can I have the formula for Line Item Dimension? I know basic idea like If the LID is more than 20% of the fact table then we consider as LID but how can we say that the object having more than 20% than Fact table?

Hi sanjeev kumar--
I hope thru that program you will get the ratio between different dimesion tables and the facttable.
In doing so if the size of the dimesion table is too high then we have to trace out the offending charecteristic in that dimension and have to assign that char as a line item dimension.
Generally it can be created on single char infoobjects. After creating it directly links to the MD . i mean to say there won't be a dimension for this..
You can check this under the Tcde listschema .
Hope this Helps,
Regards,
Vishwa.

How can i decide candidates for line item dimension?

1Q): we have many infocubes out of all these infocubes, i have to decide which infocubes are the candidates for lineitem dimension? How to do it? Please tell me the technical specs how to do the analysis to find out the candidates for line item dimension?
2Q): if i have the small dimension can i combine all these dimension in to one dimension? what is the benefit of doing this? how to find out which dimensions are small?
Pizzaman i like to hear from you on this topic. Thanks to SDN Community. i appreciate your help. Again Thank you.

The process of figuring out what you might want to create as a line item dimension can vary a bit, it can depend a lot on your exisitng level of domain expertise (how well do you know the data in question). If you are familiar with the data, I would recommend you just take an initial guess at what you believe could be line item dimensions. If you are not familiar witht the data, you might want to examine the source more to understand the cardinality of different characteristics and identify any relationships between characteristics.
I really encourage people to just go ahead and model it and load some data and review, rather than agonizing over developing the theoretically perfect model on paper before they start. You learn a lot more that way.
Any of the SAP rules of thumb, are just that, general rules, not a pronouncement from God. There are always extenuating or unique circumstances that might warrant disregarding the rule, e.g. if the InfoCube will never become very large, maybe some of the concerns just are not worth your effort.
With every release of the Oracle (and the other DBs too)Oracle keeps getting better at data warehousing and star schemas. Oracle 10i is supposed to have made handling bitmap indices much more efficient, which is on of the factors influencing the decision to create a line item dimension.
There are other threads on SDN on line item dims that provide more technical detail and can help answer you first question
As far as 2Q - generally, it's better to have several small dimensions than one larger dimension. But having said that, combining a few very small dimensions into another slightly larger (but still small) dimension is a good idea. It keeps the number of table joins down which will improve query performance. You would do this with characterisitcs that have very few values, e.g. yes/no indicators.
e.g.
You have 8 characteristics that all of which have only two values. You put them in one dimension, and the max size of the dimension table is still only 2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2 or 256 rows. If you had these characteristics in other much larger dimensions, it's not hard to see it causing those dimensions to double, perhaps creating hundreds of thousands of dimension table rows to be created.

Thankyou.

Rahul,
Go to the edit mode of your info cube and then check out your dimensions, there if the line item dimension check box is checked then it means that, that particular dimension is a Line item dimension.

Let me know how to make reports on FI Line items especially drill down reports. suggest me steps for developing reports through Bex query designer. Am new in reporting on FI. How to make the drilldown reports. Plz let me know step by step.
Thanks,
Jack

Hi
Follw the steps
Step1
Lets take an example of ODS Accounts Payable: Line Items Technical Name: 0FIAP_O03
install all this 0FIAP_O03 ODS from the Business content.
For more details on FI Line item ODS
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/EN/af/16533bbb15b762e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
Step2
After installing make sure that all the infoobjects and transfer rules and update rules are in active state
Step3
Now type the transaction code RRMX , you will get into the query designer
Step4
Select the Infoprovider from the above example 0FIAP_O03 . now you will arrive to the screen where you can see Rows and colums
Step5
Drag and drop the characteristic infoobject in to the row which is necesseayfor the report output
Step6
Drag and drop the Keyfigure infoobject into the column which is necesseayfor the report output
Step7
Now under Free characteristics draga and drop the charactor infoobject which you need to navigate in the reporting.
Note: Before dragging the objects in the freecharacteristic make sure that you need to check the navigation in the ODS level
Step8
Now save the report , when you save give the technical name of the report and save
now execute the report

How to Count Number of completed line items in past 6 months / 12 months ?

How to Count Number of completed line items in past 6 months / 12 months ?
Hi,
I am trying to count "Number of Completed Line Items in Purchase Order Document" for my Key Figure ZPO_CNT.
Purchase Order document = ZEBELN
Line Item = ZEBELP.
I need to find and count if the Line Item has been received in the past 6 months from today and similarly in the past 12 months.
I have "Delivery Completed" field, ELIKZ.
So, based on this would I be able to calculate it in Query Designer?
If so, Please let me know how

Hello Deva
If youe want to calculate the completed line item for last 6 or 12 month then i think u will be displaying the query data for these montrhs...create a customer exit to give you date range and restric it in filter area....
Now Choose any of the below option
1. I would suggest to implement an additional key figure "counter" in cube and fill values with one for which delivery is completed.
Now use calculated key figure in Query Designer based on logic
IF counter = 1 THEN counter ELSE 0
OR
2. create a formula variable based on ELIKZ and use replacement path variable, it will display you no. of docs for which delivery is completed....
Award points if it solves your problem
Revert back in case of further assistance...
Thanks

1. Kindly suggest me how I can see the Previous Line Items after cheking the Line Item Disply.
2. kindly Tell Me if I can Run any Programme.
3.If its so what programme I can run and how.
4. Is there any problem by checking the line item display to the GL account.
Thanks In Advance
I will definately reward the points
Akash Narayana

Hi,
1. Enable Line Item Display in GL master.
2. Block the GL for Posting in Company Code.
3. Run the Program RFSEPA01.
4. Check whether Line item details are available and then unblock the GL.

How Line Item Dimensions

Hi..
I found some dimensions need to be conveted into line items. but when checked with cube that dimension has more than 1 characteristics. In that case what i have to do..and how can i convert it into line items

Hi Rajini...
1. When you anticipate high growth in the dimension tables of an entity.
2. Usually you decide whether a char is to in a line item dimension or not.
3. SAP recommends to have ODS for line items rather than cube; cube should have summarised data.
Also, see this link:

How many line item dimensions can a fact table have?

Hi,
How many line item dimensions can a fact table have? Is it tht Max of 16 dimensions(13+3) .Does the 16 dimensions include line items dimensions as well .
Pls reply.
Thanks

It includes all dimensios, including line item dimensions.
If you have line item dimension, pl note you cant assign any other characteristic to that dimension.

Krishna

Hi Experts,
I dont have a defined Restricted key figure yet.
I have populated 0COMPL_DEL(Delivery Completed Indicator) and 0EBELN (Purchasing Document Number) and 0EBELP (Line Item Number in Purchasing Document) .
This is what I think how I need to calculate:
Number of completed line items in past 6 months:
If Delilvery Completed Indicator (0COMPL_DEL) = x, calculate No. of Line Items (ZPO_CNT) from 0CALDAY to 6 months
and
Number of completed line items in past 12 months:
If Delilvery Completed Indicator (0COMPL_DEL) = x, calculate No. of Line Items (ZPO_CNT) from 0CALDAY to 12 months
Please let me know if the logic is correct. If so, how I can create this in report

How to measure size of the fact table
Thanks

Hi,
For working out the largest fact tables:
transaction DB02 -> space statistics -> top n largest tables.
If this does not help, your DB administrator should be able to extract the information using SQL.
Also you can use tcode ST14 -> BW Evaluation: performance analysis of BW objects.

Line item dimensions

hi..
wat is line item dimensions nd cardinal heights???
regards
deepa

Hi Deepa,
Line Item Dimension:
When your dimension table becomes large (>10% of the fact table) then you can make the dimension a "line-item" dimension. The constraint is that the dimension should have only 1 characteristic. By making the dimension as line item the SID values are directly used instead of the Dim ids and the query performance is better.
The disadvantage is that once you make the dimension line -item you cannot add another characteristic to that dimension and you cannot remove the line -item checkmark without deleting the cube data.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/a7/d50f395fc8cb7fe10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
Multi Dimensional modelling will include fact table in center with Dimension tables around it. Overall system performance is greatly affected and dependent on the size of these dimension tables in respect to the fact table. SAP recommends that size of dimension table should be 20% of the size of fact table. In case if this size is more than 40% dimension should be defined high cardinal ( should be supported by database) If dimension tables are more than 40% the dimension should be defined as line item. When dimension is defined as line item, Dim ID in the fact table is replaced with the SID ID, Only one characteristic will be defined in that dimension. This results in improved performace.
Here is how it will work
Fact table
Dim ID1 DIM ID2 DIM ID3 AMOUNT QTY
Dimension Table 1
Sid1 DimID1
Dimension Table 2
Sid 4 Dim ID 2
Dimension Table 3
Sid6 Dim ID 3
Cosidering that Dim1 is too big, We can define Sid 1 in Line Item Dimension and Dim ID 1 is replaced by Sid 1 so fact table will look like this
Sid 1 Dim2 Dim3 Amount Qty
Compounding Attribute is superior object to define characteristic, for example
Plant A manufactures TV
Plant B manufacture TV
The only way to differentiate product can be TV and Plant A
Also,
Cost center 100 can be in Controlling Area A and
Controlling Area B can also have cost center 200,
So Cost center is compounded with CO Area to uniquely identify that line.
Just check this thread line item dimension
Cardinality defines the numeric relationships between occurrences of the entities on either end of the relationship line.
Check this link:
http://www.datamodel.org/DataModelCardinality.html
For cubes -> High Cardinality means that this dimension contains a large number of characteristic values. This information is used in accordance with the individual database platform in order to optimize performance. For example, an index type other than the standard may be used. Generally a dimension is perceived to have high cardinality when the dimension is at least 20% the size of the fact tables in terms of the number of entries each contain. Avoid marking a dimension as having high cardinality if you are in any doubt.
Also refer the below link for Line Item Dim and High Cardinality.
