Cumulative key figure and non cumulative key figure

Hi BW Expertz
Could any one give me the clarification about cumulative and non cumulative key figures .Why we go for cumulative key figure and non cumulative key figure.If any docs could u just mail to the following [email protected]
Thanx In advance
Best regards

Cumulative values are those key figures (KF) that are cumulated using all characteristics, thus also using time.
Ex: Sales revenue, Quantity....
Non-cumulative values are those key figures that are measured in relation to a period in time; they cannot be meaningfully cumulated over time. Non-cumulative values are summarized over time using so called exception aggregation.
Ex: Number of employees, Inventory, Stock prices, Account balance,.....
AGGREGATION TAB
Non cumulatives are evaluated by non-cummulative values. Non-cummulative values are special key figures that are different from other key figures (cummulative values) in data transfers and saving as well as in aggregational behaviour. These are measured in relation to a period in time; that is to say, they cannot be meaningfully cumulated over time. Non-cumulative value are summaraized over-time using exception aggregation.
Non-cumulative values such as 'number of employess' are cumulated using characteristics such as 'cost center'. It does not make any sense, however, to cumulate the number of employees using different periods. The result at the end of any particular period would be the sum total of number of employees for each posting during the period. This would of course be wrong.
Instead, the aggregation of the KF can be defined as exception aggregation wherein an additional references characteristics is utilized to tell BW which value to use during the period, in this case, 0CALMONTH is used, in the above example, to indicate that only the last value of 0HEADCOUNT, updated by costcenter, is to be taken for any calender year and month.
Cummulative vs Non-Cumulatives
The purpose of non-cumulatives is to optimize the data transfer in BW, the data retention and the database access. The data transfer from OLTP to BW is minimized and only the meaningful data is saved and processed.
It is recommended that you use non-cumulative values for areas that dont change frequently such as warehouse stock or number of employees.
Non-cumulatives are modeled in BW using a non-cumulative value with the fields belonging to it for storing the non-cumulative or for inflows or outflows.
Non-cumulative values are stored with special KF that differ in terms of data transfers and aggregational behaviour.
Features of NON-Cumulative Values Transfering and Saving Data:
- NC values are mapped uisng one KF for NC changes or two KF for inflows and outflows.
-NC are transferred in an initialization run and the change runs that follow (initialization can also be omitted here)
- A non-cumulative value always has a time-related exception aggegation.

How to create Basic Key Figure, Key Figure and Characteristic

Hello Gurus,
I have copied a standard layout of KP06, named it as a Z- layout and made changes to it, like defined the plan data upload field as Object Currency enabled.
However I want to add a Z-Field , tax holiday unit as a column to this layout which I am not being able to do. The reason is when I go to Insert a new element from Edit > Element > Insert Element and click on 'Key figure with Characteristics' I do not get the Z-Field as a key figure.
I want to define the Z-field as a key figure, so that I can add it as an element.
Would be really nice of you if you can let me know the t-code/menu path to do that.
Regards.

Hello Gurus,
I wanted to share this information with you, hoping this will help you to help me.
I also tried to create a Key Figure in t-code GS32. In the table I mention --> FAGLFLEXR and hit enter. It says no Key figure has been defined for FAGLFLEXR. Then I put the cursor on the 'Reference Entry'and click on copy. Then give the name of the Key Field I want to create.
'Create Key Figure' dialog box appears. When I input the 'Row Text' 'Column Text' and click enter, I am getting an error 'The basic key figure entered for table FAGL is not defined'. I go back and do an F4 on 'Basic Key Figure' field, then I do not get any options.
I would be highly grateful if you can let me know how to create this 'Basic Key Figure' for table FAGLFLEXR.

Key Fields & Data Fields in DSO.

In Standard DSO, Maximum how many number of key fields and data fields we can enter in one DSO?
For e.g : In Cube Char - 248 KF - 233
In DSO Key Fields - ? Data Fields - ?
Regrards,
Nithi.

Hi Nithi,
Since Key fields are decide by us we can add according to our requirement.
Key fields can only be 16 you cannot exceed this. but if you have more key fields, you can combine fields using a routine for a key field
Max Data Fields - 749 data fields can be added in a DSO.
Warm regards

Changing the Label of the LDB - PNP Screen Field(Date field)

Hi,
I got a req. to change the label of the field "Data Selection Period". This field is from PNP LDB.
Pls let me know, is there any FM or any other process?

you can customize the PNP selection screen by creating a report class. you will find the button in the report attributes.
or you can define your own selection view via SE80 an maintaining table T599C.
but I dont't think you will be able to rename the field lable.

Saving form field data with Adobe Reader and Java script.

We would like to create some customized PDF documents with pre filled form fields for our customers. The documents will also have extended Java script functionality to check some entered data and to save the form data to a local disk.
Our customers will need to click on their personalized link on our web page and then download a pdf document with personal pre filled form fields specifically for that customer. From our site the PDF file will be dynamically created and partly filled out with our web application. (The application uses an external PDF library for the pdf creation).
They would then need to be able to edit the form fields and save/export them as a pdf whilst offline.
The saving/exporting of the data should be implemented by the extended Java Script functionality (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/js_developer_guide.pdf). Once the data has been edited they will send the pdf file directly back to us.
The issue we have is with regarded to teh EULA for Acrobat Reader. If we create those documents with an external application is the user allowed to open those PDF files with his Adobe Reader without breaking the Adobe Reader Restrictions in the EULA for the Reader? (http://www.adobe.com/products/eulas/pdfs/Reader_Player_AIR_WWEULA-Combined-20080204_1313.pdf, chapter 3.2 Adobe Reader Restrictions)

Hello,
the problem which I have pertains only to the Adobe Reader. Because
our user will use Adobe Reader to open our pdf documents but it looks
like that the EULA for the Reader doesn't allow the user to open pdf
files which have the extended option to save data out of the form
fields unless!! this feature was created by an adobe product. But I
created the pdf file not with Adobe. So I don't want our user be punished...
It is actually a question of the law? departement of Adobe. But there
is no Forum for that
Or could you please forward my forum question to somebody of this department.
I don't want to publish a product where the user breaches the EULA
every time they are opening it

What is cumulative key figure and non cumulative key figure?

Hi Experts,
can anyone clarify me about KEY FIGURES in detail with an example for each topic like
1.Aggregation Tab in Key Figure InfoObject
2.Cummulative
3.Non Cummulative/Cummulative Values
4.Non Cummulative( Inflow & Outflow )
I think it would be better understandable with if explained with example
Thanks,
Venu Gopal.K

HI ,
Cumulative values are those key figures that are cumulated using all characteristics, thus also using time.
Example: sales revenue, weight, etc.
Non-cumulative values are those key figures that are measured in relation to a period in time; that is to say they cannot be meaningfully cumulated over time. Non-cumulative values are summarized over time using so-called exception aggregation.
Example: stock quantities/-values, number of employees, account balances, etc.
refer the below document for a detailed study

Primary keys on incorrect fields

Hi. I am migrating a backend Access 97 database to Oracle 8.1.6.
I have migrated the structure, but not data. I have noticed now that if I attach the new oracle tables to Access, even to a blank database, Access reports wrong columns as being the primary key. Yet, when I look at the entries for the primary keys in all_cons_columns they appear to be correct. Does anyone know how this would happen?
Thanks,
Ann Cantelow

I have tried both the ODBC driver from the oracle client software, and the latest MDAC ODBC driver that Microsoft provides. The problem remains the same for each.
These incorrect primary keys are on tables that have unique indexes- the attached table shows the first unique index as being the primary key. Remove all unique indexes, and the primary key is found correctly.
Thanks,
Ann Cantelow

Reg Data fields in DSO

Hello SAP Guru's!!!!
I have some doubt on maximum number of data fields in DSO. I gone through so many threads on SCN, but could not clarify my doubt.
The max no of key fields in DSO is -- 16
Max no of data fields in DSO is --749.
But i read in some of the scn documents a table can have maximum 256 columns .
DSO is also like a two dimensional table which can also have the same properties of a two dimensional table.
if the above statement of mine is correct.. the number of columns in a DSO is 256 columns = 16(primary key)+240 (data fields--non key fields)
but how come 749 data fields (max) will be there ? if it is so ... the max no of fields will be 749+16 = 765.
I need some clarification on this ....
Awaiting for your responses!!!!
regards,
vamshi

Hi Rajavamshi,
For DSO:
1. See for Standard DSO we have Key fields & Data Fields will be there
2. Key Fields will store only Characterisitc Info Objects, maximum no.of characteristic info object we can add here was 16
3. But in Data fields we can add both Characterstics & Keyfigure infoobjects, Max of 749 data fields we can add here.
4. Atleast one field should be there in either Key fields & Data fields.
For InfoCube :
1. Info cube structure will be having the 16 Dimensions and the Key Fields.
2. In that 16 Dimensions 13 User defined and the 3 pre defined dimensions.
3. One user defined Dimension will maximum can hold 248 Characteristics Info Object, not the Keyfigure Info Object here.
4. But the Key Fields here will store maximum will hold 233 Key Figure Info Object.
Thanks..!!

Remap PGUP/Home and PGDN/End keys using Steelseries Engine

I just got an MS60 Ghost Pro. I didn't pay attention to it before I bought it, but the document location keys are all lumped together. I use this laptop for work and play, so having to push extra keys to use Home and End is extremely awkward.
Is there a way to remap the PGUP key so it just does Home, and the PGDN key just does End using the Steelseries Engine? Ideally, I'd like to switch the mapping so PGUP does Home and Fn + PGUP does Page Up. I tried to do it with a macro and it kept saying "Reserved." Has anyone else dealt with this issue? Couldn't find a quick answer through a Google search. Thx.

To get what you need, you have to remap key function in two different keyboard layers and I do not think it would increase your work efficiency. You can set PGUP key as "home" in a layer and set PGUP key as its default in another layer and switch between layers when needed. OR you can assign another key as PGUP function and set PGUP key as home key in one layer which will be more efficient in my opinion, then you do not need to switch layers.
When you see "reserved" in keypreses column, you are one step left to complete the setup. Just goto Profiles at the left hand column and press save button.
