How to identify display and navigational attributes in report?

To all of thanks to be in SDN, plz send tue clarifications.....?
Q. How to identify display and navigational attributes in report? is there any naming convension differences for both of them?

This works fine for "powerusers", but for informational users you have to create your own naming conventions for all navigational attributes which are not unique. For example 0COUNTRY may be a navigational attribute of 0CUSTOMER, OSOLD-TO, 0SHIP-TO, 0BILLTOPRTY, 0PAYER. To make the text clear for your users in reports name it CS Country, SO Country, SH Country, BT country, ... as 0COUNTRY could also be a characteristic from the document.
This means quiet some work especially if you have a multilingual installation, but the information users will be very thankful.
hope this helps

Time dependent navigational attribute

Hi all,
I am new to BW, i would like to know what is time dependent navigational attribute and when we go for it.
with regards,
a.fahrudeen

Hi Fahrudeen,
You will go for a time dependant nav attr when the attribute values change with time and you need to maintain the history. When you use time dep nav attr, the value is always valid from a date to a certain date. Like for 0COSTCENTER, 0RESP_PERS is a time dependant attr becasue it is possible that for the same costcenter ABC was responsible person from 01.01.2004 to 12.31.2005, and then you have XYZ from 01.01.2006 till 21.31.2008.
Hope this helps...

How to create time dependant master data table in R/3?

Hi gurus,
I am new to BW.I try to execute the 'Time dependant Attribute' into BW.in my scenario my source system must give me the data like "salesrep ID,Manager ID,Date to,Date from,Sales region". I like to know how to define this master data in SAP R/3(Source system)?. Give me the steps to create master data table in R/3.
Manager may change periodically.even i need to maintain all the changes in R/3.
Thanks & Regards,
Bharath

built-in type method means.,
there is no need to create data element and domain objects seperately for each and every field of the table which ever you are creating, system will implicitly fix the size based on the data type you selected....

How are attribute and text master data tables linked in SAP R/3?

Hello,
how are attribute and text master data tables linked in SAP R/3?
Most tables with attribute master data like T001 for company codes,
have a text master data table T001T (add "T" to table name).
When looking at the content of table T001 via transaction se11,
the text are automatically joined.
But for some tables there is no "T"-table (e.g. table TVBUR for sales offices
has no text table TVBURT), but in se11 you get texts. There is an address
link in TVBUR, but the Name1, etc. are empty.
a) Where are the text stored?
b) How does the system know of the link?
Hope someone can help!
Best regards
Thomas

Hi Thomas
The master and text table are not linked by name, of course, if you see the text table, it has the same key fields of master table, only it has the field key spras and the field for description.
The link beetween the tables is done by foreign key: if you check the text table TVKBT u need to see how the foreign key for field VKBUR is done:
-> Foreing key with table TVBUR
-> Foreing key field type -> KEY FIELD FOR A TEXT TABLE
->Cardinality-> 1-:CN
It's very important the attribute sets for Foreing key field type, if it's KEY FIELD FOR A TEXT TABLE, it'll mean the table is a text table: i.e. that mean the master table is a check table for the text table, where the foreign key type is for text table.
U can find out the text table of master table by SE11: GoTo->Text Table
U can fined some information in table DD08L.

How many master data tables

Hi Friends,
When you activate master data in all kind of perspectives, then how tables we can get and what are those with naming conventions, i was told by somebody that we get 12 tables, is it right?
Regards,
Balaji K. Reddy

Hi Balaji,
It depends upon the settings you make when you create your info-object. If you check all the options then these tables would be created:
1. SID table - /BI0/SXXXX
2. View of master data table - /BI0/MXXX
3. Master data table (time-independent) - /BI0/PXXXX
4. SID table attributes - /BI0/XXXXXX
5. Text table - /BI0/TXXXX
6. Master data table (time-dependent) - /BI0/QXXXX
7. SID table attributes - /BI0/YXXXXX (time dependent attr)
8. Hierarchy table (of a characteristic) - BI0/HXXXX
9. SID table for hierarchies - BI0/KXXXX
10. SID Structure of the hierarchy - BI0/IXXXX
11. Hierarchy interval table (of a characteristic) - /BIC/JXXXX
where "XXXX" is a standard SAP info-object.
All these tables are generated by ths system and the data from these tables would be fetched depending upon the action executed in the query. In short, we need not bother about these tables and the system takes care of it.

Difference between text data and attributes in master data?

Hello,
a charcteristic in BW maintains texts, hierarchies and attributes.
What exactly is the difference between texts and attributes?
Attributes describe master data like a customer. The country where the customer resides, the industry etc. describe and classify the customer. Attributes are not just the structure/metadata of the characteristics. They are also the content. The following table should visualize what i mean:
customer-no. | name
112 | mcpherson inc.
113 | donalds inc.
Texts contain contain the description of a characteristic. Texts define a characteristic. An example is the customers name. It does not describe the customer but defines him/her.
Is my understanding about these two parts of master data right?
What else except the customer's name belongs to the texts?
If I set up a characteristic like the customer in SAP BW, do I have to create an attribute "name". The name belongs to texts, not to attributes?? If I upload master data then, how does it work?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
If your analysis includes country and region then country and region should be included in the Infocube.This is required because only if you include these characteristics then you can restrict your queries for country and region.You may need to select some particular countires/region and show the report.Then you have to restrict your queries to only those countries/region.This is possible only if you have these characteristic in your infocube.
I am just envisaging your model like this.
Characteristic in the Infocube
Customer
Country
Region
Customer Attributes
Customer Number (SID which is self generated)
Customer Address1,2 ,3
Registration No
Date of Registration
Deposit Amount
etc ...
Region Attributes
Region Number (SID)
Total Customers
Sale Office Address
Number of Sales Persons
Customer Attributes
Customer Number (SID)
Total Customers
Head Office Address
Number of Sales Persons
GDP
Total Population
So the conclusion is whichever entity you want to restrict or analyse should be a part of Infocube.It is very difficult to do analysis based on attributes as I mentioned in my earlier post that they are only "Display attributes" (u can just show that's it).
Yes!! there are methods available for analysis based on characteristics in attributes table and you have to do either with virtual characteristic or replacement path or with writing code in customer exits.But a good design and earlier study of all possible report combination and having a good design will avoid good amount of development time and changes.
I have suffered when I had only 0CALDAY in my cube and when I want to take a monthly analysis, I was unable to do it and then I have to redesign my whole cube.
Please anyone, correct me if I am wrong.

How to make 0datefrom a compounding key to master data having single key ?

Dear Experts,
I am trying to add 0DateFrom to compound a master data object via RSD1.
In the Compounding tab, i keyed in the 0DateFrom and tried to activate but system does not allow :
Message :
Characteristic ZCONxxx: InfoObject 0DATEFROM is not allowed in the compound
Message no. R7596
Diagnosis
InfoObjects 0DATETO 'Valid to' and 0DATEFROM 'Valid from' are not allowed in the compound.
System Response
Characteristic ZCONxxx can not be activated.
Procedure
Define attributes or the texts for the characteristic as time-dependent. The fields 'Valid from' and 'Valid to' will then be automatically included in the master data tables or text tables.
I then followed the advise on from the message and ticked the DateFrom attribute in the master data. This attribute is existing one. But the system says :
Characteristic ZCONxxx: Attribute 0DATETO cannot be used w. time-dependent attribte
Please advise. I must compound the master data with datefrom. How can it be done when BI disallows?
Thanks in advance.
regards
Pascal

Hi
In SAP standard reminders are triggered based on requirement type 103 (dunning). Instandard it is assigned to output type MAHN. You can create a new requirement by modifying requirement 103 which considers confirmation entered in PO. Then it can be assigned to the reminder output type in output schema.

Adding new attribute to Master data - Not present in ECC

Hi,
We want to add a new field in the master data object 0plant. the new field is not present in the R/3 side. So we are planning to maintain it manually.
Is it feasible? Can someone explain how to approach the situation?
Since it is not going to come in Process chain or any of the mappings below InfoObject will the process chains work properly?
Regards

Hi
if you cant impliment any logic you cam maintani it mannually.
First add attribute to master data object and activate.
Do master data load if required.
Then right click on materdata addtribute and manage -> content tab -> Content
display complete data and you can maintain attribute values individually for all ercords one by one (will be pain even for 100 records).
another alternative is of doing file upload for this attribute.

Hi Raj
Check this
Tab Page: Additional Properties
Functions
Business Explorer
Decimal Places
You can determine how many decimal places the field has by default in the Business Explorer. This layout can be overwritten in queries.
Layout
This field describes with which scaling the field in the Business Explorer is displayed by default. This layout can be overwritten in queries.
For more information, see Hierarchy Intervals
Miscellaneous:
Key Figure with Maximum Accuracy
If you choose this indicator, then the OLAP processor calculates internally with packed numbers that have 31 decimal places. In doing so, a greater accuracy is attained, and the rounding differences are reduced. Normally, the OLAP processor calculates with floating point numbers.
Exclusive attributes:
If you choose exclusively attribute, then the created key figure can only be used as an attribute for another characteristic, but cannot be used as a dedicated key figure in the InfoCube.

How to find the number of entries in a master data table

Hi Experts,
I am trying to find the entries in 0CUSTOMER master data.
BW>LISTCUBE>Data target: 0CUSTOMER and selected the fields that I need.
I would like to know how to find the "number of entrees". I tried to run the SUM for a count field, but it is taking forever as there are huge number of records .

Hi Dev,
Go to the change/display mode of the info object (0CUSTOMER) in your case. Go to the Master data/Text tab. Here you will find the master data tables according to your settings (P orQ or X or Y). Double click on the table name and it will take you to the SE11 display. From there, you can check the number of records as you do in any transparent table.
Hope this helps.
Thanks and Regards
