Inventory Management Data Model

Can I have a combined Inventory Management Snapshot and Non Cumulative? By this I mean as follows:
1. Use the Business Content model to load to the Inventory Management (0IC_C03) cube on a daily basis (loading delta from 03_BF and 03_UM)
2. Create a Snap Shot model which is loaded on a monthly basis using 03_BF and 03_UM
Thanks

Hello Niten,
Absolutely. You can use these two scenarios in combination. In fact, it is highly recommended to use snapshot scenario in combination with non-cumulative model and not as a stand alone solution.
But you need to evaluate the business requirement before taking the decesion of going with combined solution. Snapshot scenario is used to improve the query prformance.

Inventory management snapshot model using Datamart Interface

Hi,
We have implemented Inventory management NON-CUMULATIVE scenario.
Now for reporting needs we are adding snapshot model and trying to use datamart interface to fill up snapshot cube.
But how to get value of KF say "ZTOTALST" becuase NON-*** cube has only changes stored as "0RECTOTSTCK" and "0ISSTOTSTK". If anyone has implemented or has any ideas on using snapshot model with datamart interface , please help .

Inventory Management SnapShot model

In the How to guide it discusses on how to create a SNAPSHOT model for monthly loads.
Can I create a SNAPSHOT ODS and eliminate the Cube as part of my Data Flow and if so I believe the only change that I need to make is to check the BEx reporting flag in the ODS. Is this correct and are there any possible limitations with this approach? Thanks

Hi Niten,
I read in the document...
"If the SnapShot Scenario is chosen to reduce the Query-Runtime it should be taken in account that for recovery reason and for the ability to retrace the data it is only advisable to run an InfoCube with non-cumulative keyfigures with all the movements in parallel for a certain timeframe. For the administrator it is much easier to avoid, find and repair inconsistencies in the data. Inconsistencies could happen if data in the PSA is deleted and the update-/ transferrules do not fulfill all the EndUser requirements or the coding is just wrong. A reinitialization of all the past data could be necessary. In the SnapShot Scenario the past data is nowhere stored."
Hope it helps!
Bye,
Roberto

Excel 2013 PowerPivot Error - "PowerPivot is unable to load the Data Model"

I'm attempting to use the PowerPivot add-on in Excel. When clicking 'Manage Data Model' or attempting to 'Load to data model,' I receive the error 'We couldn't load the Data Model. This may be because the Data Model in this workbook is damaged.',
followed by 'PowerPivot is unable to load the Data Model.' This happens irrespective of data source type. I have Excel 2013 32-bit, PowerPivot 32-bit, running on Windows 7 OS 64-bit. I am not running an SSAS instance on my machine.
Any suggestions?

Hi
Have you ever tried to repair your office?
Also we may refer to the following blog :

This issue seems to be caused by the October 2013 update (KB 2825655) for Excel 2013. Try to remove it or restore the system to an earlier point and check the result.

Indication of documents about Inventory management in BW

H
I've got this excellent document "How to handle inventory management scenarios in BW". Very clear, easy to understand.
I'd like to go into more details about 2LIS_03_BX (initialization of the current stock), compression of requests and marker update.
Does anyone have indication of other documents that deal with these subjects?
Thanks in advance

How to impliment inventory Management in BI using BX/BF/UM

Experts !
i have to impliment Inventory management Data flow. i was reading SAP documentation on it, but i fount it bit confusing.
Could you please help me out to undertstand how does these 3 DS works ? and why do we need 3 diff. DS ?
I know , i am asking a big question, and it would be bit tough to explain. but any kind of documentation will help.
i did research , but couldnt find the right way of doing it.
Please give me some thoughts !
Appreciate it.

Hi,
There are 3 DS for IM :-
2LIS_03_BX: extracts stock data from MM Inventory Management for initialization to a BW system.
2LIS_03_BF: extracts material movement data from MM Inventory Management (MM-IM) consistently to a BW system.
2LIS_03_UM: extracts revaluation data from MM Inventory Management (MM-IM) consistently to a BW system.
Maintain the following entries intables of the ECC System:
Table TBE11:
Maintain entry 'NDI' (text: New dimension integration) and u2018BWu2019 and the flag Active.
Also refer : OSS note 315880 & 571669.
Step 1:
Go to transaction RSA5 and activate the 3 DS.
Step 2: Delete Historical Data.
Step 3: Delete Data from setup Tables.
Step 4: Take reqd ECC downtime
Step 5: Stock Initialization : use transaction MCNB for 2LIS_03_BX data source.
Step 6: Fill Setup Tables for 2LIS_03_BF. (U can acces this from SBIW)
Step 7: Fill Setup Table for 2LIS_03_UM
Step 8: Pull Data for 2LIS_03_BX (the "NO marker update" shouldnt be ticked)
Step 9: Pull Data for 2LIS_03_BF.(the "NO marker update" should be ticked)
Successive delta loads should be with marker Updates (No Tick).
Step 10:Pull Data for 2LIS_03_UM.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Rahul

Info Req on Inventory Management

Hi Experts,
I am working on BI 7.0. Our client is planning to implement the Inventory Management in SAP and they will use the BI as the reporting tool. So we need to feed the Inventory management data into BI.
So I want to work on that point and need some information like what are the Data sources we will use for Inv Mgmt and how can we load the data from SAP R/3. Is there any special steps that we need to take into account while we work on this area.
If any one of u can give some inputs in this regard and any helpful material reg the same will be helpfull to me.
Thanks.

Can "trigger" management be addressed in the data modeler?

Please add an easier way to add/modify triggers.
I reverse-engineered my model into the data modeler and my triggers all migrated correctly to the model but, for the life of me, had no idea how to view, modify or create triggers. After extensive research, I found that they can be accessed in the left-hand Browser by drilling some 8 levels to view the triggers for each table - why? Why can't this functionality be added to properties context menu for the table. I'm not a big advocate for triggers but if I need to work on one, the current methodology is tedious at best.
Of course, if there's some other way to do this, please inform...
Accessing Triggers via the Browser
Design -> Relational Model -> APEX_DEMO -> Physical Model -> Oracle Database 11g -> Tables -> ACTIVITY_LOG -> Triggers

Thanks Joop and Phillip...
While I occasionally use SQL Developer, I currently use PL/SQL Developer (Allround Automations) as my development tool of choice and bringing a 3rd tool as SQL Developer into the mix, makes no sense to me.
I completely agree that managing a trigger via a development tool is much easier but one occasionally wants to quickly add a trigger either manually or via a template and this is not easy currently.
While functions, procedures, package, etc. are all important to a data model, the existence of most triggers are completely dependent on a table and are a critical component in any model that uses them. The ability to access and modify them easily in Data Modeler is important and shouldn't be an afterthought as is perceived here. If trigger access cannot be added to the Table Properties (as noted in the image below), at the very least, please provide a shortcut methodology to do so.

Inventory management: Validy dates in queries???

Hi experts,
We have BW 7.0.
I have loaded data on 04.03.2010 with BF- and UM-datasources and compressed it correctly.
When I now look into the validy table for plant 0001 there is a validy range from 03.07.1997 to 08.02.2010.
But when I start a query for 09.02.2010 system says "no data found".
The document "How To Handle Inventory Management Scenarios in BW" says that I should show the result in parenthesis!
What is up here?
But I don't want to update this validy table!!!
Pls help!
KR,
Raimund
Text in document:
...For example, if data with document data was loaded into the
InfoCube with values from 01.01.2002 to 15.02.2002 (assigned to the respective time
characteristic), the validity interval is also determined by these two date values. You can
extend the intervals by maintaining the table (transaction RSDV). Stock balances are
displayed for requests that relate to this period. If you start a query that requests the
stock balance for 16.02.2002 or later, the result is displayed in parenthesis (a blank
value is displayed in BW 2.0B and 2.1C), since it lies outside the validity area (providing
that the validity table was not manually extended using transaction RSDV)....

Hi,
Hi,
Use 2LIS_03_BX, 2LIS_03_BF, 2LIS_03_UM to 0IC_C03 Cube and design the report.
Use :
0VALSTCKVAL   " for Value
0VALSTCKQTY   " for Qty
0CALMONTH        " for Month
Use the above combinations in New Selections in columns and go it.
For Qty Opening:
New Selection bad drag abd drop following things
0VALSTCKQTY   " for Qty
0CALMONTH        " for Month and restrict with less then or equalto option variable (single value, user input) and set the offeset
                               value = -1 bcoz if user will give 12.2009 , so it will display 11.2009 closing stock, this is opening for 12.2009.
For Qty Closing:
New Selection bad drag abd drop following things
0VALSTCKQTY   " for Qty
0CALMONTH        " for Month and restrict with less then or equalto option variable (single value, user input) .
In the same way build for Value and other Keyfigures on 0IC_C03.
And
Drag & drop
0MATERAIL
0PLANT " Give some Input Variable.
See the steps.

Inventory management and physical inventory data transfer

hi all,
can anyone plz povide me with inventory management and physical inventory data transfer tutorial or link.
points are guarented.
rgds

The information behind the blue-button for MI34, MI38 (as you mentioned) does not have enough detail. It's basically one-page. Is there another instructional source available? How is the logical file MMIM_PHYSICAL_INVENTORY_DOCUMENTS tied to the physical, can you clarify? Not sure how to determine where the sequential file being processed needs to be located. Thanks!

Information about adf data model's state management in JSF/ADF faces?

Dear All,
i am developing an application with JSF/ADF faces + using
adf data model (EJB, not adf bc)...
i want to know more about state management of adf data model..
1. under what condition, will the data in the binding context
(methodIterator, variableIterator, accessorIterator..etc) be maintained accross
http requests? say browse pageA.jspx, pageB.jspx, pageC.jspx..then do data
in the corresponding pages saved somewhere else until session timeout?
2. how do the binding context data be saved ?? http session?
i can't find detail information in the adf bc dev guide and the adf dev guide..
could anyone give me more information about this?? any better document??
i have asked these question several times...but seem nobody can give me a
full picture about the adf data model's state management....it is quite important
in order to develop good application using adf data model.
my company have brought oracle's support service...can i get these information
through metalink (open a SR) ?? or actually no such information available ??
btw, after playing with adf data model for a few weeks, i do find it is very
hard to learn it... no complete document, information is just by providing example...
adf data model do make:
1. simple logic, supported by adf, more simple in coding
2. simple logic, not supported by adf, more complex in coding
3. complex logic, much more complex in coding...brain damage..
lsp

Hi,
actually, these pages don't explain the state management about the adf data model's iterators?
i want to know the state management of the iterators...for some iterators..it's
state is maintained across requests...
please see my previous post: ADF JSF data binding: why state maintained between requests? that Frank Nimphius said:
"in this case its the iterator that survives the page navigation"...
in the adf dev guide..section 5.5.5..it says: "Upon each request, the iterator bindings are refreshed to rebind them to the
underlying RowSetIterator objects. By default, the rowset iterator state and the
data caches are maintained between requests."
in dev guide, it seems state is maintained for request for the same page, but not
accross different pages. but in fact, the rowset iterator do survive...
any detail document that write down the actual behavior of the iterators?
thank you.

Analysis Process Designer and Inventory Management

In the How to guide for Inventory Management it mentions that you can you can intialise stock in the Snap shot Cube using the Analysis Process Designer (APD). Has anyone done this and if so can you explain how or outline some steps? Thanks

Hallo,
the APD does`nt be a useful tool for modeling a performant
data flow. A lot of SAP BW user think so.
The performance problems are given by the ddic intern table, using to uploading the extracted data into the apd used wa_table and structures.
To have the best performance on your scenario, please use the following scenario as possible.
Step 1.
upload the extracted data from the psa into a data layer
there you can reduce and harmonize the data by using a transactional ods
Step 2.
build a infoset that joins the data
Step 3.
build one query to reducing data and make two copies of ist
Step 4.
build a useful data mining model
Step 5.
upload the results of the data mining model into a transactional ods
Step 6.
link the uploaded data into a infoset ore write back into a standard ods
Step 7.
query the data
If you use this scenario you have a lot of benefits. Better performance, better quality of persistent data and actual and traininged data.
The recommend next step (if you want a alerting) is to build a reporting agent report - if you have usefull processes in the query.
There are a workshop for Data mining and APD, named BW380.
I hope I helped you.
Otherwise give me a message.

Inventory Management, New Snapshot Scenario

We are planning to implement the New Snapshot scenario for Inventory Management. This is based on the "How to...." document. As per what is shown in the document, all the 3 extractors feed into the same DSO. However, when I try to create the Update Rules for <b>BX</b>, I get a error that there is no key figure. However, the DSO (Standard) has the Key figures. These are cummulative. Maybe, because of that I get the error when I create update rules for BX. But then, in the document the key figures appear. How is this possible.
Has anyone tried this and has been successful. If so, I'd appreciate if you could send some tips.
Thanks

hello
can you please take a screenshot of your data model and update rules (inside) and send me to (see email in card)
It will really help me!

Inventory Management 0IC_C03: Beginning and ending inventory

Hi Gurus
My report is based on Inventory Management cube and I have a requirement where in I need to show Begining Inventory and Ending Inventory for Plant per Period.
There is no KF for Beginning Invin SAP standard model in inventory management cube (0IC_C03 cube), so I thought to restricting total quantity by Fiscal period and Offset by minus one to get begining inventory.
Here is my report layout:
I have got : Period , Plant in rows and Beginning and ending inventory in Columns.
Desired Output:
Fiscal Period | Plant | | Begining Inventory | Ending Inventory.
03/2009        | 1001 |    100                       | 50
Actual Report output
Fiscal Period | Plant | | Begining Inventory | Ending Inventory.
02/2009        | 1001 |                 100          |
03/2009        | 1001 |                                | 50
So basically report is being split on two lines for current and previous (due to restriction in begining period : Offset =-1 on period).
Question is how to achieve both begining and ending inventory for a period in same line.
Thanks in avdance for help and time
SA

HI Naveen
Thanks for the reply. Non *** KF are already being used and Standard SAP model is being followed. Problem is not with back end but with frontend. Data coming on the report is fine but problem is how to show them on same line. Remember Beginning inventory for current open is ending inventory for previous month and in SAP content there is no KF called as begining inventory. Basically data from two consecutive periods (current and previous one) needs to be on same row of report, but they are coming on different rows if we have period in drilldown by period. this makes sense but how to overcome this.
This, We have all the correct data but facing issue while displaying that on frontend.
Thanks

BW data model and impacts to HANA memory consumption

Hi All,
As I consider how to create BW models where HANA is the DB for a BW application, it makes sense moving the reporting target from Cubes to DSOs. Now the next logical progression of thought is that the DSO should store the lowest granularity of data(document level). So a consolidated data model that reports on cross functional data would combine sales, inventory and purchasing data all being stored at document level. In this scenario:
Will a single report execution that requires data from all 3 DSOs use more memory vs the 3 DSOs aggregated say at site/day/material?Lower Granularity Data = Higher Memory Consumption per report execution
I'm thinking that more memory is required to aggregate the data in HANA before sending to BW. Is aggregation still necessary to manage execution memory usage?
Regards,
Dae Jin

Let me rephrase.
I got an EarlyWatch that said my dimensions on one of cube were too big. I ran SAP_INFOCUBE_DESIGNS in SE38 in my development box and that confirmed it.
So, I redesigned the cube, reactivated it and reloaded it. I then ran SAP_INFOCUBE_DESIGNS again. The cube doesn't even show up on it. I suspect I have to trigger something in BW to make it populate for that cube. How do I make that happen manually?
Thanks.
