How to display the single characterstics (top one) wrt key figure

Question

Hi,
I have got a reporting issue like::
Values in Cube-
GL     Fiscal year/period     Doc no    Amount
1         2004.006                 1              10000
1          2004.006                2               15000
1          2004.007                3                20000
i want to show in my report as--
1      2004.006                  1               10000
1       2004.007                 3                20000
i.e it should pick only the first line from cube corresponding to the 2004.006 period..

Answer 1

Hi,
You have 2 options
1. you can create a transformation and write a starteroutine so that it takes the first record of the document number. but in practical it is not advisable because the cube contains inconsistant data and you cant develope any other reports on it.
2. Next option is
Step1
You  need to write the user-exit to populate Reporting related variables in the Enhancement assignment RSR00001 and select the FM EXIT_SAPLRRS0_001 and then in the include ZXRSRU01 we need to write the code. These are helpful especially we need to derive any varible. (here in your case you can create a customer exit variable for Document number not ready for input)
Along with that:
BEx User Exit allows the creation and population of variables and calculations for key figures and variables on a runtime basis.
Step2
After creating the variable , For populating the values use the Function module RSDPL_CUBE_DATA_READ to read the data for the cube and populate the same into the internal table.
Step3
For the internal table you need to sort the document number and the date so that it picks the top most record in displaying the data. and in the out you will get as you requirement is
1 2004.006 1 10000
1 2004.007 3 20000
Last option but looks silly
Develop one more Cube which is above your existing cube . and develope a start routine which takes the first record from the cube. and now you can develop the report based on the new cube ( in this new cube the data will be there for the first record)
hope this helps
