InfoObjects and Variables

Hello BW Experts,
I have been given a somewhat complicated task that I will explain as best as I can:
I basically have two infoobjects (ZSOLDTO and ZSHIPTO) that reference another infoobject (ZCUST). In my InfoCube, ZSOLDTO and ZSHIPTO are located in separate dimension tables, and there is the possibility that the same value could be located in the underlying master data tables of both InfoObjects. In my query, I created a variable for ZSOLDTO that is displayed on the query's selection screen. Somehow, if the user enters in a value for the variable that represents ZSOLDTO, I would like to pull back data where the variable equals ZSHIPTO values as well. I can't have a variable for both ZSOLDTO AND ZSHIPTO, because than only data where both ZSOLDTO = X AND ZSHIPTO = X will be retrieved. I guess I'm looking to incorporate an 'OR' statement. This would be very easy to replicate in an ABAP program. If anyone has any feedback, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!
Andy

I don't think I made myself clear originally. Here is what I want to accomplish:
I want the users to enter a value on the query selection screen for InfoObject ZSOLDTO. I want all key figures that meet this selection criteria to be displayed in the results (this is very simple to do in BW). However, if no values are found under the dim table that contains ZSOLDTO, than I want to compare the variable value to ZSHIPTO and pull all of key figures that meet this criteria into the results. Please let me know if I should clarify further.
Thanks,
Andy

Difference between Temp table and Variable table and which one is better performance wise?

Hello,
Anyone could you explain What is difference between Temp Table (#, ##) and Variable table (DECLARE @V TABLE (EMP_ID INT)) ?
Which one is recommended to use for better performance?
also Is it possible to create CLUSTER and NONCLUSTER Index on Variable table?
In my case: 1-2 days transactional data are more than 3-4 Millions. I tried using both # and table variable and found table variable is faster.
Is that Table variable using Memory or Disk space?
Thanks Shiven:) If Answer is Helpful, Please Vote

Check following link to see differences b/w TempTable & TableVariable: http://sqlwithmanoj.com/2010/05/15/temporary-tables-vs-table-variables/
TempTables & TableVariables both use memory & tempDB in similar manner, check this blog post: http://sqlwithmanoj.com/2010/07/20/table-variables-are-not-stored-in-memory-but-in-tempdb/
Performance wise if you are dealing with millions of records then TempTable is ideal, as you can create explicit indexes on top of them. But if there are less records then TableVariables are good suited.
On Tables Variable explicit index are not allowed, if you define a PK column, then a Clustered Index will be created automatically.
But it also depends upon specific scenarios you are dealing with , can you share it?

Fixed and Variable Breakup of Actual Cost

We have implemented Material ledger and also activated actual cost component split. We are getting the actual product cost at month end. In the costing cockpit we get the Peiodic unit price(Actual cost) as well as std price of the material. But In costing cockpit we are not able to get the breakup of Fixed and variable. Whereas we are getting Fixed and varible breakup when we check cost component report in ckm3. But there, we can see individual material wise fixed and varibale breakup.
Can anybody help me so that I can see the Actual Fixed and variable cost for all the products at a time?
With regards
Mukesh Poddar

Fixed price, is the fixed costs - I usually see it in relation to Overhead..
Fixed costs remain, whether you manufacutre or not.
Say you are deciding whether to out-source an assembly, If you outsource, VARIABLE cost will be saved, Material, labor for that assembly, Overhead representing fringes for that labor, the electricity to run that specific machine. However, you will still have fixed costs of: Management Salary (although some of that can be variable); insurance on the building; heating and cooling for the building; realestate taxes.
If the cost to make "in house" is 150 each and the vendor is going to charge you 100, thi is only a true saving if your fixed costs are less than 50.
SAP allows you to separate fixed and variable costs so that you do make/buy analysis, budgeting, etc
Hope this helps

SOAP Use Adapter-Specific Message Properties and Variable Transport Binding

Hi Friends,
   I am new to use to Soap Adapter. Please help me out bellow doubts.
   1.When you use Use Adapter-Specific Message Properties and Variable Transport Binding .
   2. Where exactly we r using below parameters.
Remote User : (technical name: SRemoteUser )
Remote Host : (technical name: SRemoteHost )
SOAP Action (technical name: SHeaderSOAPACTION )
To transfer further header fields, set the relevant indicator. You can then store the following attributes and their values in the XI message header:
Variable Header : (technical name: XHeaderName1 )
Variable Header : (technical name: XHeaderName2 )
Variable Header : (technical name: XHeaderName3 )
Thanks&Regards

Hi,
   1.When you use Use Adapter-Specific Message Properties and Variable Transport Binding .
SAP Help says both are needed to be checked when you want to process adapter attributes
Configuring the Receiver SOAP Adapter - SAP NetWeaver Exchange Infrastructure - SAP Library
These attributes can be get/set using dynamic configuration and their technical names are what you have pasted:
Remote User : (technical name: SRemoteUser )
Remote Host : (technical name: SRemoteHost )
SOAP Action (technical name: SHeaderSOAPACTION )
To transfer further header fields, set the relevant indicator. You can then store the following attributes and their values in the XI message header:
Variable Header : (technical name: XHeaderName1 )
Variable Header : (technical name: XHeaderName2 )
Variable Header : (technical name: XHeaderName3 )
Remote User - the username used to send a message to the adapter engine using SOAP
Remote Host - hostname which the remote user used
SOAP Action - SOAP Action of the XI webservice (sender) / SOAP Action of the receiver webservice
Variable Headers are additional key-value pairs in the HTTP Header that could be accessed in the XI Header using dynamic configuration. The limit is only three though.

Mark

Budget Report to show the fixed and variable split for Materials

Hello Gurus,
Could you tell me if there is a budget standards report that will show the fixed and variable split for Materials? Example: Labor, Equip., QC and Overheads?
I need it for the correctly rolled-up 'final material number' step. The report that does this now (without fixed and var split) is the Indented BOM Comparison (sret - cost mgmt-product costing - cost mgmt-customized reports - cost estimate comparison - costed multilevel compare rpt - Indented BOM Comparison).
Thanks,
Jefferson

one simple way is in your final itab declare a slno type i field
data : begin of itab occurs 0,
slno type i,
<other fields>
end of itab.
after filling the data in itab.
loop at itab.
itab-slno = sy-tabix.
modify itab.
endloop.
in fieldcatalog also you have to define that slno field as the first column.
but it will change its order if you are sorting the output or filtering the output.

Overview report cost estimate (fix and variable)

Hello
anybody knows a overview report where i can see for the current valid cost estimates
per material
costs splitt between fix and variable costs
Alternatively it would be sufficient if this is just shown for a costing run
In CK40N and all other reports i know i have the complete costs but to see details an extra click to the between fix and variable costs is needed and i can not extract to excel.
Or is the only option an query on KEKO,KEPH, CKIS?
Cheers
Tim

Hello
@Sachin: Thanks for the report but the output is not that good - but helpful
@Eric: Thanks this report solved my problem )

Material standard and variable price

Hi all,
I've been ask to create a report that shows the variable and standard price of the material for the current month and compare this with the price of a month that they get to choose, and if they don't choose a month to compare it with then I should show the price of that material for every month of the year.
My question is, where can I find this info in SAP. I know that in MM03 I see the standard and variable price of the month and the previous month, but that's about it.
where can I find this historical info of prices for material?
thanks in advanced,
Fidel Gregorio Peralta.

Hi!
You can find current prices in table MBEW. Field VPRSV says, if you find moving avg. in column VERPR or the standard price in STPRS. Currency is company code currency.
In table MBEWH you find historical values - which are only inserted in case of price changes - so missing periods have same value as last entry before.

Christian

Tables for Fiels Fixed Value and Variable Value

Hi,
Can any one tell me where the actual fixed and variable costs are stored in which table and also the planned costs. I have checked it, but it is showing RKPLN as data structure. We are doing development report where in standard Cost Center Report we need to have break up of fixed and variable cost. Please guide me where exactly these fields are stored in which table. its very urgent.

Hi,
In regard to the tables for planned data please do a search of the forum as this question has already been asked a few times. E.g. here:
CO PLANNING TABLES
In regard to fixed / variable actual costs: these are not stored in separate tables. If a posting contains fixed and variable portions, for example postings resulting from splitting (KSS2), then the fixed portion is stored in the COEP- WKFBTR (line items) and COSS-WKF* fields (summary items). Please observe SAP note 192107 on this issue.

Fixed and variable cost component break up in PCA

Hi,
Is it possible to get fixed and variable cost component break up and contribution report in PCA at each product group level and lower level of node. I think this requires development. As my client requires the report to have cost break up into fixed and variable in PCA at each line item level. Can anyone solve this

Hello
You can get the report by using the report painter, no development will be required.

What exactly is the diff between main window and variable window

what exactly is the diff between main window and variable window in SAP script?

hi,
MAIN WINDOW :- In a main window you display text and data, which can cover several pages (flow text). As soon as a main window is completely filled with text and data, the system continues displaying the text in the main window of the next page. It automatically triggers the page break.
You can define only have one window in a form as main window.
The main window must have the same width on each page, but can differ in height.
A page without main window must not call itself as next page, since this would trigger an endless loop. In such a case, the system automatically terminates after three pages.
VARIABLE WINDOW :- The contents of variable windows is processed again for each page, on which the window appears. The system outputs only as much text as fits into the window. Text exceeding the window size is truncated; the system does not trigger a page break. Unlike constant windows, the page windows declared as variable windows may have different sizes on different form pages.
As far as the processing of the window contents is concerned, the system currently treats constant and variable windows alike. The only difference is that constant windows have the same size throughout the form.
hope this will be useful.
If useful then reward points.
with regards,
Syed

Transporting Queries and Variables from QA to DEV

Hi gurus,
Is there a way I can transport my query and variables(query components) back to DEV from QA,cos one of the variable that I am using started having a problem in DEV and can't seem to be able to fix it .
You can check the problem question here
Problems with a Query
Thanks

If you have access you can bundle the report in QA the same way as in Dev. This is assuming you have a package set up there and basis will probably have to manually move it to the queue and import it. This can be risky to do.

Illustrator Data Sets and Variables Help Please

Hi, how's everyone doing? I need a little help with Data Sets and Variables, or at least i believe that's what i need help with. Ultimately i am trying to run an action on a batch of files.
I have an eps file with two images placed side by side. They are the same image. I am trying to replace both images and save the file accordingly. Trying to make this happen using a bunch of files. All the files can be in one folder and will be the same size.
I hope this make sense and what i need done is doable.
Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Not sure a I read you correctly but if I understand you
what you have to do is make the first two images as dynamic variables using the variable panel and save it as a data set
then replace those two images and save those as a data set
So now you have data set one and two.
You can save that as an variable library (xml)and that can be loaded into other documents.
The question is can it be actioned?
It can be scripted and do you want the same two images to replace the same two image in each document.
I think you really have to tell us more.

Secret data sets and variables in photoshop elements.

In photoshop elements 4 thru 8, you can use data sets
and variables, with the actions recorded for them in
photoshop and then installed into photoshop elements.
They work exactly like they do in photoshop and in fact
there is already a menu item in photoshop elements,
under in export menu, called export data sets as files.
