Input ready query with free characteristics

Hi All,
Is it possible to include characteristics restricted with variables in free charatceristics panel to make input ready query?
I am trying to create input ready query with above practice but unable to make query as input ready.
If I include characteristics restricted with variables in rows or filter then it is working fine. .ie. I am able to input entries at runtime of query.
Kindly help me out to find the solution as I have to include characteristics in free characteristics panel.

Hi,
Any cell in an input query can only be input ready if it corresponds to only one value of each characteristic in the underlying aggregation level. If you have free characteristics in your input query, you will need to restrict them to single value at query runtime to make the query input-ready. Note that putting a characteristic in rows automatically restricts it to one value.

    Hi Tilak,
    Thanks for reply.
    As per my knowledge, Every characteristics which is included at aggregation level should be included in either rows or filter level in query designer.
    But as per my business requirement I have to include the characteristics restricted with variables( in default values only) in free characteristics. But the problem is if I do so the query runs in display mode not in input mode.
    So kindly help me if you have any solution for above scenario.

  • WAD input ready query with new blank rows

    Hi all,
    İ need to make an input ready query in wad with new blank rows under report.
    in mu query i can see posted values where i need blank rows as well.
    i have set number of new rows in analysis item.
    what else i should do.
    when i run my query, it gives warning that i have no columns that i can enter manually.
    Any help?
    thanks

    Hi,
    A few points that you should check:
    1) Whether all characteristics of the Aggregation level are restricted to one single value except for characteristics included in the rows;
    2) Whether all the characteristics included in the rows are displayed with the Key (with or without text);
    3) If you have a Unit characteristic in the row, it still has to be restricted to a single value in the filter.
    These are some of the typical reasons why I have encountered the same problem!

  • Input ready query with default data

    hi expert
    How do I make input ready query to have a default value when signing in using WAD?
    thanks.

    Hi,
    Use the following document for your query. If found useful do grant me number!
    Revaluating Planning Functions (with Analysis Web Item)
    Use
    You want to build a planning application with which you can enter turnover amounts for certain account numbers and revaluate them using a factor that can be set. If you select a row of the table, only the amount in this row is to be revaluated. If you do not select any rows, all values are to be revaluated. The planning application is to look roughly as follows on execution:
    This example serves in particular to clarify the interaction between a planning function and an Analysis Web item. Special properties here are:
    ●      Variable handling in the planning function
    ●      Row selection in the Analysis Web item
    Prerequisites
    In the planning modeler, you have created an aggregation level that contains the following InfoObjects: unit Currency Key, time characteristics Quarter and Calendar Year, key figure Amount, characteristics Version, Account Number, Cost Center.
    The planning function and the query are to use the same data of this aggregation level.
    Procedure
    Planning Modeler: Creating Planning Functions, Variables, and Filters
           1.      Choose the Planning Functions tab page and create a planning function of the type Revaluate with technical name REVALUATE and description Revaluate for your aggregation level.
           2.      On the To the Parameters tab page, use the input help for the revaluation factor to create the REVAL_FACTOR variable with the Revaluation Factor description. The variable is to be specified in detail as follows: The variable is to be a required variable and is to be input ready; it is to be of type Number, but is not to contain a standard default value.
           3.      Choose the Filter tab page and create a filter with technical name ACCOUNT_FILT and description Revaluation Selection for your aggregation level.
    Select the characteristics one after another and choose the input help icon in the column after Characteristic Restrictions. The dialog box for specifying characteristic restriction appears. Specify the required restrictions (in our example, Version = VERSION 1, Quarter = QUARTER 1, Calendar Year = 2007; Cost Center = 100002, Currency = Euro; for Account Number, all values are taken over), choose Add, and save the selections by clicking OK.
    Choose Show Extended Settings and ensure that the Version characteristic cannot be changed on execution. (It must be possible to change the Amount key figure).
    More information about creating planning functions, variables, and filters: Modeling Planning Scenarios
    BEx Query Designer: Creating Queries
           1.      In the BEx Query Designer, create a query Revaluate (technical name: QUERY_REVALUATION) for your aggregation level.
           2.      Drag and drop the ACCOUNT_FILT filter into the Characteristic Restrictions area for filter values. In doing so, all characteristics are restricted to single values.
    Drag and drop the Account Number characteristic into the area for default values.
           3.      Specify that the Account Number characteristic is in the rows. The values for this come from the master data.
    Specify that the Amount key figure is in the columns. The values for this can be changed; on the Planning tab page, choose the Data Can be Changed Using User Input or Planning Functions option.
           4.      Save your query definition.
    BEx Web Application Designer: Creating Web Templates
           1.      In the BEx Web Application Designer, create a Web template with technical name REVALUATION.
           2.      Create the following data providers:
    ○       DP_PLAN_DATA of the type Query View Data Provider, based on query QUERY_REVALUATION
    ○       DP_FILT_REVALUATION_FUNCTION of the type Filter. The data binding should come from the ACCOUNT_FILT filter.
           3.      Create the following Web items:
    ○       INPUT_FIELD_REVALUATION_FACTOR. Specify 10 as the default value (Internal Display ® Text: 10).
    ○       BUTTON_GROUP_ REVALUATION. Using Internal Display, create pushbutton1 with label Revaluation and, as Action, use the command wizard to assign the following commands (INSTRUCTION):
    Table of Commands
    Command
    Parameters
    Data provider-specific command: SET_SELECTION_STATE BY BINDING (Set Filter Values According to Different Sources)
    ●      Command target: target data provider DP_FILT_REVALUATION_FUNCTION
    ●      Data binding: selection binding using the Account Number (ZD_ACCNT) characteristic, where the value of the Web Item Selection binding type is to come from the ANALYSIS_ITEM_1 Web item, characteristic Account Number (ZD_ACCNT).
    Planning-specific command EXEC_PLANNING_FUNCTION_SIMPLE (Execute Planning Function )
    ●      Data binding: Reference to data providers of type Filter DP_FILT_REVALUATE_FUNCTION, where the value from variable REVAL_FACTOR of connection type Web Item with Manual Input (ITEM_INPUT) is to come from INPUT_FIELD_REVALUATION_FACTOR.
    ●      Command-specific parameter: planning function REVALUATE
    ○       ANALYSIS_ITEM_1. Data provider DP_PLAN_DATA is assigned to the analysis grid as the (source) data provider.
    Choose Behavior ® Row Selection ® Multiple (MULTIPLE).
    In this case, it must be possible to select multiple rows and to execute the revaluation command on all selected rows. It is not therefore possible to give the command along with the row selection; the command must instead be given using pushbuttons.
           4.      Create a CONTAINER_LAYOUT_ITEM_1 (Web Items ® Enhanced ® Container).
    Divide the container into columns, choose the With Tray display option, and enter label Revaluation under Tray Settings.
    Add the following Web items to the container:
    ○       1st row, 1st column: INPUT_FIELD_REVALUATION_FACTOR
    1st row, 2nd column BUTTON_GROUP_ REVALUATION
    ○       2nd row, 1st column (with option Colspan=2, that is, with a merge of columns 1 and 2): ANALYSIS_ITEM_1
    The following figure illustrates the layout of the REVALUATION Web template:
    Execution on the Web
           1.      Execute the Web template on the Web.
           2.      For testing, extend the URL to include parameter &debug=X.
    If you have set this parameter, the selection is shown in the Executing Planning Function section.
           3.      Enter amounts for one or more account numbers, change the revaluation factor if necessary (default value = 10), select the required rows, and choose Revaluation.
    For example, enter amount 100 in the first row, retain revaluation factor 10, and choose Revaluation. The query outputs an amount of 110 in both the selected row as well as in the overall result (as long as you have not entered any other values).

  • Problem with input ready query with structure in Rows

    Hi,
    First I have created an input ready query without a structure where I have GL accounts in rows and key figures in column. It works and I can see that the cells are ready for input when I launch it in web through query designer.
    Later, I am replacing the GL accounts in rows with a structure. Each line in the structure is combination of GL acctUoMChart of Acct (all restrcited to single values). Here comes the issue. When I run the query again (launching thru query designer) it dumps. Any idea?
    Also, please let me know whether the planning applications can be made using BEX analyser OR WAD ?
    Thanks a lot in advance.
    Regards,
    SSC

    Hi,
    Can you check ST22 for the dump analysis.
    Also, planning applications can be built using BEx analyzer or WAD.
    Check this link for example and step-by-step procedure to do the same.

  • Input ready query / derived currencies

    Hi all,
    I have an issue regarding an input ready query with multiple currencies:
    The query should enable the input of plan values for several reporting units, each with its own local currency. If I restrict the currencies using variables, I naturally get all possible combinations of currency and reporting unit as input ready. This allows the user to make wrong entries and is not very user friendly. 
    I wanted to restrict the currency using characteristic relationships but encountered several issues:
    - Local Currency can not be chosen as attribute or DSO based characteristic relationship in the Modeler.
    - when using a char. rel. based on CL_RSPLS_CR_EXIT (derive method) I receive the error msg "Cannot generate combinations in step '04'" everytime I restrict local currency to generate combinations based on char. rel. rather than master data in the query.
    Do I have to implement the create method of the char. rel. exit? If yes is there some documentation available? Or could somebody give me an advise for an alternative solution?
    Thanks,
    Viktor

    Hi,
    I think this works out of the box.
    Assume the characteristic 'reporting unit' has a currency characteristics containing the local currency as an attribute. Both, the 'reporting unit' and the currency characteristic have to be in the InfoCube and aggregation level used for the input-ready query. Create a characteristic relationship of type attribute containing the above characteristics and use 'access mode for result values' based on characteristic relationships for both  characteristics in the query. But both characteristics e.g. in the rows of the query and you should only the valid combinations of 'reporting unit' and currency.

  • How to allow users to record new lines in an input ready query?

    Dear All,
    I am using BI integrated planning (NW2004s) and I would like to create an input ready query with account numbers in the rows. I drag 0ACCOUNT into the line field in the BEx Analyzer which has many individual values in the relevant filter.
    I do not want to show all possible account values in the rows automatically (there are too many accounts) but I would like if the user write the desired account numbers by hand or select them from a list of possible values.
    In summary, I would like to create a solution similar to a BPS Layout where the characteristic combinations are 'From Transaction Data'.
    Is it possible to create an input ready qurey in such a way?
    Thanks in Advance,
    Dezso

    Hi Dezso,
    Yes,
    If you want the query to work like a "from transaction data" layout.  Goto the extended tab on the charicteristic 0account and change the setting under "Access type for result values" to "Posted values"  Then only lines with posted values will appear.

  • Integrated Planning input ready query

    Hi All,
    I am new to integrated planning. I have created an input ready query with key figure "revenue" ready to input.
    When I run the query, I can change the revenue figures, but the save button is greyed out.
    Is this an authorization issue or am I missing something?
    Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

    Hello Payal,
    I sugguest to read the documentation on help.sap.com about BI Planning; the documation contains an example how to create a planning application with BEx Analyzer.
    I did not mention what UI you are using, BEx Analyzer oder BEx Web Analyzer. In both cases there is no default save button, you have to create it, e.g. in the design mode of BEx Analayzer oder for the BEx Web Analyzer in the WAD (Web Application Designer).

  • How to create an Input Ready Query in Bex Excel with no transact data

    Hi
    We created a query where we want the user to put in NEW LINES. This query has in general no data when user starts planning.
    We have 2 front-ends for this, Bex Web and Excel. Both shows initial 'no data available
    BexWeb': Implementing the command set_data_entry_mode we get all the relevant columns for the input
    Excel: Command set_data_entry_mode or set_input_mode does not allow the users to insert new lines. Still error message pops up 'no data available'
    Do you have a solution for that ?
    Regards,
    Thomas

    Hi Gregor,
    In the note 1149346 that you have mentioned, it says -
    You must start the input-ready query in change mode.
    BEx Analyzer: In the properties of the analysis grid, the switch
    "Suppress new rows" must not be set.  Furthermore,
    the switch "Allow entry of plant values"
    must be set in the local query properties.
    I have not seen this setting Allow entry of plant values in a query - can you tell what is refers to?

  • Chars in columns for Input Ready query

    Hi
    Hope every body is just doing fine. I am puzzled with following doubt when compare BPS layout builder to IP input ready report. Please help me to clear some smoke here.
    We have a simple input ready query to enter some values in the key figure for given combination of characteristics for 12 fiscal year periods in the year.
    BPS >>> In BPS manual planning layout we would have selected the Key figure and Fiscal Year Period in data column and profit center and Plan Year in Header and Other characteristics like GL account,cost center in lead column so that we can hide the Fiscal year period by restricting the values of key figure for particular fiscal year period value while creating columns in Data columns like Jan 07. etc
    IP>>> So in IP, I have fiscal year period in aggregation level with all other chars and key figure. In input ready report, I have used the structure to pull the key figure and fiscal year period value to come up with column and not included the key figure in rows or columns of report but when I was executing the query system is automatically including the fiscal year period as free char. I am puzzled on how this is going to work. Is fiscal year period not populated automatically based on column.
    Your inputs are highly appreciated with point.
    Thanks,
    Raj.

  • IP: How to hide currency/unit from input-ready query headers?

    Hi,
    Is there a way to hide currency/unit from input-ready BEx web query headers? I've used NODIM-concept for read-only reports, but with input-ready it won't work since formulas cannot be input-ready. Is there a setting somewhere or workaround? The web query is published by WAD.
    Thanks!
    Aki

    Hi Aki,
      If you wanna do this in input-ready query, there is only one scenario: you restrict 0UNIT and 0CURRENCY as one certain constant value for the 'Characteristic Restrictions' in the 'Filter', and DON'T set the according 'Can Be Changed at Execution' selected. Then the 0UNIT and 0CURRENCY can be put into 'Free Characteristics', no neccessary moving them to data area.
      If there're multiple value for 0UNIT or 0CURRENCY for your planning, you can't hide them in data area of INPUT-READY query, since they belong the dimension 'U'.
    Hope this will help.

  • Input ready query input help problem (F4 help)

    Dear All,
    We are using NW2004s with SP9.
    We have created an aggregation level with 0MAT_SALES, 0SALESORG, 0DISTR_CHAN (0SALESORG and 0DISTR_CHAN are compound characteristics of 0MAT_SALES) characteristics (and other char. as well). We have a Filter where we added the above mentioned characteristics and a navigational attribute of 0MAT_SALES (0MAT_SALES_NAV_ATT)
    We set the follwing filter values:
    0SALESORG = AT01
    0DISTR_CHAN = 01
    0MAT_SALES_NAV_ATT = P
    0MAT_SALES = nothing but we set the 'Can be changed at execution' flag in the modeler.
    We have an input ready query on the above mentioned aggregation level. We are using 0MAT_SALES as free characteristic and we set 'Only posted values' on the extended tab.
    Our 1. problem is that when we want to enter new rows into the Query and get input help (F4 on the input ready cell) to select 0MAT_SALES we get all 0MAT_SALES values and <u>not</u> only that ones which has 0SALESORG and 0DISTR_CHAN values set in the filter.
    Our 2. problem is that 0MAT_SALES_NAV_ATT = P is not taken into consideration during query execution and we also get all materials.
    Any help?
    Thanks in Advance,
    Dezso

    Dezso,
    We looked into using Navigational Attributes in SP7 and found that Input Queries were unable to process them. Unless there has been some specific enhancements I do not believe that anything has changed here.
    I recommend raising an OSS and getting clarification from Waldorf. The SAP Help page on input queries in IP also provides some clarification in this respect.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can not change data in Input Ready Query

    All,
    I have created an input ready query on an aggreagation level which has one transactional cube underlying it however, after run the query I am unable to change data in the cells even though I get a warning message saying query is ready for input
    Note:
    1. The underlying realtime cube is in "Planning Mode:Loading not allowed" state in rsa1
    2. I tried including all characteristics so that the record can be uniquely identified at that aggregation level).
    3. I am not using any characteristic restrictions
    4. I have not set any data slices
    5. I have set the property for Planning "Start query in Change Mode"
    6. I have set the 'Key Figure' Planning Properties to "Can be changed Manually or via Planning Functions" for the key figures
    7. I do not have currency/unit in row/column.
    8. There are any locks occurring
    Any pointers welcome.
    Thanks,
    Milind

    Hi Milind,
    Was wondering how was your problem solved. I get the same message when I run the query in web from query designer and in bex analyzer the cells are not updated with the changes that I make.
    I am hitting my head against the wall to figure what could be the problem as my plan query is simply based on aggregation level created directlty upon the real time info cube.
    Have cross checked all the points that you mentioned in this post but I cells do not change.
    There should be some way around to solve this problem.
    Thanks
