How to identify Facts

Hi,
My project is a EDW project (NON-ERP to ERP). Right now we are in design phase. I need to identify the facts by seeing the reports (BO). The reports are in different forms like excel, PPT, Graphs, Charts. So I would like to know what all needs to taken into consideration while identifying Facts.

data warehousing, a fact table consists of the measurements, metrics or facts of a business process. It is often located at the centre of a star schema or a snowflake schema, surrounded by dimension tables.
Fact tables provide the (usually) additive values that act as independent variables by which dimensional attributes are analyzed. Fact tables are often defined by their grain. The grain of a fact table represents the most atomic level by which the facts may be defined. The grain of a SALES fact table might be stated as "Sales volume by Day by Product by Store". Each record in this fact table is therefore uniquely defined by a day, product and store. Other dimensions might be members of this fact table (such as location/region) but these add nothing to the uniqueness of the fact records. These "affiliate dimensions" allow for additional slices of the independent facts but generally provide insights at a higher level of aggregation (a region contains many stores).

How can identify the default currency for a customer?

How can identify the default currency for a customer?
I know that this is being determined when you create a sales order for a particular customer, for example, so I could break this process open and find out what it uses. But I thought it worth asking in this forum first.
Blue

Hi Gary,
As per my understanding of your question I am replying , If you are looking some thing else then I request you to please elaborate your query.
If you see the BP sales area data in transaction BP, In billing tab you maintain the currency for a customer which is default currency when you create a sales order.

How to identify german language in a program

Hi All,
i have one requirement. that is how to identify german language in a program.(suppose text elements, data elements are in german language our program should identify that german language). Anybody have solution for this, pls send me as soon as possible.
Thanks for all in advance.
Thanks & Regards,
Nagarjuna.

Hi Nagarjuna,
2 possible approaches:
1. Source language: Every program is initially created with source language = logon language. Sored in TRDIR-RLOAD.
2. Try to read program texts in specific language (DE).
    READ TEXTPOOL pv_repid INTO lt_textpool LANGUAGE 'D'.
    IF sy-subrc                           = 0.
      MESSAGE s000(R1)
        WITH 'German texts present in' pv_repid '' ''.
    ELSE.

How to Identify an item as a Raw material or not?

Hello,
I would like to know how to identify a particular item that is bought, if it is a raw material that will be used for further processing to build any other finished product or if it is a finished product that can be sold directly. I need to find out which table and which column we can find the information from?
For example, we bought an item like motherboard, which is used as a raw material to build a laptop.
I suppose it is clear, so, can any one let me know which table has this kind of information. Is it available in the Purchasing module tables like PO_Headers_all, etc..
Thank you

Check table MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_B, COLUMN BOM_ITEM_TYPE.
BOM_ITEM_TYPE = 1 (Model)
= 2 (Option Class)
= 3 (Planning)
= 4 (Standard )
So if BOM_ITEM_TYPE 1 means it is configurable. & 4 means it can be used as raw material as well as individual product ex. keyboard.

How to identify the version of InDesign application used to produce an InDesign document

Is there a way to identify the version of the InDesign application(CS/CS2/CS3) where the Document was originally created?
Can we use InDesign CS3 server to open a CS2 document to do some relinking and save it again as a CS2 document without converting the document to CS3 version? If not, how to identify and not open the documents produced by previous versions of InDesign application?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
you can test the Creator. In addition however the document must be opened. If it is a CS2 document, closes document again without to save. I did not test it. Would have to function however.
JavaScript Example:
try {
var creator = app.documents.item(0).metadataPreferences.creator;
catch(e){}
alert( "The creator = " + creator );

How to identify a rehire candidate?

Hi,
Please let us know if you have worked on the following:
1) How can we identify in e-recruiting that an external candidate was a previous employee of the company at some point in time? OR how to identify that the candidate had a record in SAP PA in the company?
2) what exactly is the difference between the "deleting external candidate" and " delete external candidate registration" ? is it only that the "delete external cand registration" first closes all the open applications/assignments to requisition and then deletes the details? or some more differerences are there?
Also can you provide more information on "Store Legal Periods"? Can we define these periods based on some other criteria apart from Country/city criteria? if so how?
Thanks,

1) How can we identify in e-recruiting that an external candidate was a previous employee of the company at some point in time? OR how to identify that the candidate had a record in SAP PA in the company?
You can identify in R/3 in INFOTYPE 0001 go to over view you will find all information of employee history
2) what exactly is the difference between the "deleting external candidate" and " delete external candidate registration" ? is it only that the "delete external cand registration" first closes all the open applications/assignments to requisition and then deletes the details? or some more differerences are there?
I belive both are one and same please what expert will say

How to Identify a Meth Lab!!!!!

How to identify a Meth Lab.
Knowing a law enforcement officer for 30 years,
I wanted to know how to identify a Meth Lab.
Following, are four photos he showed me.
I think it's pretty obvious which one is the Meth Lab.
Please Click On any Text in Blue as that automatically links to information.
PC (NDEGR)

Hmm,
The yellow Lab looks like a dog from Hellraiser and the black Lab looks just like a normal family pet. The chocolate Lab looks like its about to go for somebody (probably the guy with the camera) and the meth Lab is... probably very excitable!
