Key Figure Creation

Hi Gurus,
when you are creating a Keyfigure you have different data types
Amount
Quantity
Number
Integer
<b>Date and
Time</b>
what Exactly Date and time do in Creation of Key figures...
generally Key figures are created with respect to numbers
can any one explain me technically in detail regarding this ??
appreciate your time
Regards
Santosh

It depends on your business requirements whether a Date filed can be as KF or Characteristic.if you are sute that Date can be used in further calculations very often it can be deigned as KF. of course after defining it as Char also, you can use in calculations using formula variable.
Counter or amount field with decimal point, sign and comma for thousands. A DEC field may have a maximum of 31 places.
DATS
Date. The length is defined as 8 places for this data type.

Experience with creation of a large number of key figures

Hi:
I have a need to create a large number of Key Figures (at least about 50 of them) for DP use. Do you have any experience with automating this task if so, can you share your experience? Thanks.
Satish

Hi,
So far we have not come across a need to automate KF creation. And 50 KF is not a huge number, it would take may be a couple of hours to create them. Also, since it is a one time activity, developing an automation script for the same does not sound useful. You might want to consider creating them manually so that you can ensure all settings are proper.
Hope this helps.
Thanks & Regards

Creation of restricted key figure

hi experts,
when i will create restricted key figure and calculated key figure for reporting.any one suggest that.
regards,
balu.

Hi,
Restricted Key fig:
By using restricted key fig you can restrict only one key fig column based on the value of char. Assume that you have a query with key figs Price, Qty and Revenue.If u restrict Revenue based on chars i.e either time or customer Id or Material Id etc only that revenue key fig coulumn will be effected.
Calculate Key Fig:
Calculated Key fig is nothing but creation of new key fig using existing key figures. Assume that you have a query with key figs Price and Qty only. If you want to find Revenue as
Revenue = Price * Qty, go for Calculated Key figure.
Assign points if it helps u.
Cheers....

Creation of new key figure at report level depending on the month range

Dear All,
I have a requirment where user wants to see the dollar values for the Amount key figure. Data is stored in the INR value in the cube.
Exchange rate values keep on changing depending upon the quarter. For all four quarters we have four different exchange rate.
Now system has to identify the applicable exchange rate and show a new column with the USD value just beside the INR values column.
How best we can achieve this.
Thanks & Rgds,
Anup

Hi
You can have currency translation at query level for achieving this.

View creation and populating key figure to datasource appended field

Hi
the data we want is like in 4 tables
J_3GVERSI + EQUZ + ILOA+ ANLC
HOW should i create a view on these four tables .
j_3gversi _ equnr
equz - equnr, iloan
iloa- iloan(key), comp code,asset no,asset subno
anlc- comp code asset no asset sub no
my two key figure values are in J_3gversi , and 1 more keyfigure i will append it to my datasource on this view and the value for this will be obtained if i give 5 field values( from ANLC(table), compcode,asset no ,asset subnumbr, fiscal year and depreciatio area in where condition for select statement in cmod .)
to give these 5 values in the where condition in my cmod code for my datasource I tried to make this view.
i have linked
j_3gversi with equz - using equnr
equz with iloa- using ILOAN ( since my asset no and asset sub number in this table is linked to equipment number using ILOAN field)
ILOA with ANLC- using ( company code, asset number and asset subnumber)
though the field names are different for my asset number and subnumber in both the tables , they have same data element(component) -
IS it fine to join two tables with fields having different field names but same component.
asset number field name is in ILOA-anlnr and ANLC-anln1 though component type is same - anln1 for both
similarly asset subnumber has like ILOA- anlun and ANLC- anln2 with same component type-anln2
now in cmod for the function module i am writing select statement like this
code in cmod for transaction data
when mydatasource
loop c_t_data into lv_ctdata3
1.     SELECT SINGLE * FROM anlc WHERE bukrs EQ lv_data3-bukrs AND
2.                                     anln1 EQ LV_DATA3-anln1 AND
3.                                     anln2 EQ LV_DATA3-anln2 AND
4.                                     gjahr EQ Lv_data-gjahr AND
5.                                     afabe EQ '01 ' .
6.     IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0 .
7.       CALL FUNCTION 'FI_AA_VALUES_CALCULATE'
8.         EXPORTING
9.           i_anlc = anlc
10.         IMPORTING
11.           e_anlcv = l_anlcv.
12.     ENDIF.
lv_data3-nbw =l_anlcv-nbw.
modify c_t_dat from lv_data3
end loop

Hi ,
IS it fine to join two tables with fields having different field names but same component.
1.Yes we do this many times .We combine fields having different names but functionally they are the key values to match .
No issue with that untill they are in same format and you want to match data based on those fields .
HOW should i create a view on these four tables .
2.For view you can create view on 2-3 tables with matching fields and for complex logic you can populate additional fields via CMOD code .

Key figure value based on user input.

Dear Friends,
We are using BI7.00 and NW2004S. In one of our report to monitor the number of notification closed and the number of notification open upto the user selected month. For this i have created a Query which has selection screen value as month. I have created a condition which will fetch the difference in days (notification completion - notification creation date) based on user entered value. For example if user enters 10 in the selection screen, report will fetch the notifications which have diffrence in days as 10.
The condition is okay for the above. What user actually wants is the number of notifications completed and that pending based on the value he enters in the screen. For example he enters 10 in the screen, system should show the values as shown below
                > 10 days
Completed                Pending
          3                           2
I tried various options but could not achieve this.
Experts help expected. Kindly provide solution.
Regards,
M.M

Hi,
As per my understanding 1 firstly u have to find out
the no of days (diff between dates notification completion, notification creation date .)
then u have to create condition on no of days which u
have find.there u have to create one user entry
variable for the user can enter his own parametrs.
Right?????
If It is right..
here are the steps..
1st:in the query designer at key figure coloumn create
one local formula.in that local formula create formula
variable with replacement path.in that take reference character
notification completion.in the next tab take replace ment
as key.in the last tab select "date".
2nd: do the same thing for the notification creation date.
3 rd : create 3 rd local formula and do the substraction
for the first 2 local formulas.
4th:create codition on the difference which u have find with
on that condition u can create one user entry varibale.
5th:while u defining the query put these 2 dates,i,e
notification completion, notification creation date in the character block.
If not system will ignore the formula variable which u created in
above steps.
Hope this wil help u.

Addition of new key figure in ODS

Dear all,
In ODS, delta is loaded everyday through process chain. Now according to business requirement, we need to add one more key figure in it. I don't have to map it with any of the R/3 field. Only i have to create update routine to assign value in it using already existing key figure.
Can i directly add new key figure in the ODS? Will it affect my data present in ODS as well as daily delta load process?
If i can do this, can i assign exact 'key figure' value for the existing data also?
Please guide me for the same. We are using BW 3.5.
Regards,
Omkar.

Hi,
I am not sure that it is true that you need to delete data. I am sure one can add a field to the ODS without deleting it. The field will remain blank after creation, unless you fill it:
1. manually using a flat file for past data; mapping will work for subsequent data
2. Use a self reference if the value is already present in another key figure.
The change may take a long time to activate depending on the following:
1. Size of the ODS
2. Existence of indexes.
However, as you are running a delta you need to be careful of the delta queue if you also intend to touch the datasource.
Cheers....

Trade Funds report to update Settled key-figure for rebate scenario

Dear Experts,
We have a scenario where we are triggering rebate creation in ERP from Trade Promotion in CRM.
The rebate accruals are generated over a period of time based on sales orders.
Now we have 3 standard SAP Trade Funds reports which helps us in extracting the accruals data from ERP rebates and updates "Accrual Balance" key-figure of the Fund associated with the Trade Promotion.
Now in ERP once the rebate settlement is created, is there any standard SAP report which will update the "Settled" key-figure in the Fund.
Please advise.
N.B. Our scenario has TPM integrated with Trade Funds & we are using CRM 7.0 EhP1
regards
Animesh.

Many thanks for ur replies!
problem here is that, since i had declared this particular fileld as a integer type key figure, it is not allowing me to enter characteristic values in update formula .
and venkat, how can i change that key figure to char? is that possible? they have specifically told to write as a key figure. and in this model we have only one key figure ( this particular field ).
that infoobject is not available in BW as of now. so i had created it as a key figure as was told by them.
Thanks,
Ravi

Can't change a Restricted Key Figure technical name in QD BEx 7.1.0

A few days ago I created a new Restricted Key Figure in Query Designer and it was autopopulated with a default technical name. So I immediately changed it to 'ZRNPVORDINTFACTPPP_FY'.
Now, today, I realized that the 'F' in the technical name is a typographical error and I need to remove it. I clicked the Restricted Key Figure on the left from within the list and clicked the Change/Display pencil icon in the properties window, but the Technical Name field is still greyed out. Also tried right clicking and selecting Edit, but same problem.
Would removing all instances of where the figure is used in the query and other queries allow me to change it? Could it be a user rights issue?
As always, thanks for the help!

Hi,
After creating a RKF , you cannot change its technical name.
If the RKF has a lot of restrictions and creation of another similar RKF is a big process ,
you can create a copy of the same through transaction RSZC.
In RSZC , give the source and target cube name as the name of the multiprovider on which your query is built,
select restricted keyfigure ,click on execute , in the list which comes after execute find your KF 'ZRNPVORDINTFACTPPP_FY'
and click on transfer/copy option available.Change the technical name as you want and then click on execute. A similar keyfigure with the desired technical name will be created in query designer ,global keyfigures .
Replace the same with your Old keyfigure in report.

Need help for report Variable to restrict the key figure value...

Hai gurus,
Now i have data in the cube as follows...
Reuisition     HR INTW date     LM INTW DATE     TEL INTW DATE     HR Count     LM Count     TEL Count
a1              01.01.2010     02.01.2010             01.04.2010                 1                1                 1
a2              02.02.2010     03.02.2010             02.02.2010                 1                1               1
a3              03.03.2010     04.03.2010             03.03.2010                 1                1               1
when i execute the report it shd ask the prompts with Date interval as in the below...
HR INTW date
LM INTW DATE
TEL INTW DATE
if i dont give any interval in the variable prompt it should display all the recors as follows
Reuisition     HR Count     LM Count     TEL Count
a1               1                  1               1
a2               1                  1                     1
a3               1                   1             1
If i give LM INTW DATE interval as    01.01.2010 to 31.02.2010
then it should display all the other counts as in the output_1 , but for LM count for a3 it should show 0.
Reuisition     HR Count     LM Count     TEL Count
a1               1                  1               1
a2               1                  1                     1
a3               1                 0                  1
that means wherever i restrict the data depending on the variable that only that interval key figure value shd be in the report..
for this scenario, which variable i need to use... and how i need to restict the KFig value in the report...
Right now i am getting like this but it is restricting the records,,, where it should not restrict the records...in the report..
Please guide me for the same...
If any concerns about the scenario please let me know...

hi chowdary ,
could you tell me the var. creation in detail and with which reference object i need to create ...

How to create a new Characteristic and Key figure ?

Hi !
I am newly trying to learn APO DP and Could anyone please explain how to create a new Characteristic and Key figure in Demand Planning Administrator workbench[ RSA1] with steps?

Hi,
Instead of RSA1, use RSD1 to create Characteristics & Key figure.
1. Go to transaction, select radio button for respective info object i mean Char ot key fig.
2. Enter name of the same & click on create transaction.
3. Suppose it will ask for APO or BW then select APO for key fig. so some new functionality come in to key fig. like key fig. fixing etc.
4. always copy new key fig. or characteristics from standard.
5. after creation activate the key figure.
Hope this steps will help you to create Char. & key fig.

Time as a key figure

Hi,
Can you please let me know the possible ways in which we can define time as a key figure, instead of a chaarcteristic ? My requriment is to have a start and end time, and want to calulate the difference between them as the effort. Please note that i would be using this as an input-ready keyfigure in a planning report. Anypointers will be highly appreciated.
Regards
Snehith.

Hi
You can create a keyfigure in RSD1-->In the Type/Unit Tab Select Time.
And Select the Data Type as TIMS.

Statistical Progress Key Figures

Hello Community!
I had a problem with the creation of the Statistical Progress Key Figures; in order to perform the progress analysis at (PS) I need to determinate the statistical key figures in which the percentages of completion (POCs) are recorded. This settings are created per controlling area (CO). At the moment to record this key figures an error occur, that the Key figure is incorrect due that the unit of percentage is not defined correctly.
Who can help me with this matter?
What is the best way to define unit of percentage for progress analysis?
Thanks a lot!
Regards,
Manuel Gonzalez

The solution to this case was based on the Percentage Unit of Progress. This unit were created at the Tr. CUNI and regarding the ISO Unit (SAP Note 576981)
With this attributes the Key figure is configured at per Controlling Area and assigned to the Progress Analysis.
The Unit test is correct!

SIS some key figures are displaying zero value

Dear all
Following Key Figures in Standard SIS tcode like MCTE, MCTA, etc. are displaying as zero
Incoming Return
Credit Memo
Credit memos qty
Returns items
Returns Quantity
MC+6 is displaying all the key Figures as zero.
What may be the reasons
Regards
Vipin

Dear Babubala
In MC26 I am getting below warning for Incom. Returns, Gross returns, Net Returns 1, Net Returns 2, Returns items, Returns Qty
Incom. returns: Updating with date field VDATU can be set up restrictively only
Message no. M!208
Diagnosis
While updating the key figure Incom. returns the data field MCVBAP-VDATU for the period determination is used.
Updating via MCVBAP-VDATU causes a different result online as for statistic data set up. Online, MCVBAP-VDATU is filled with the current date (SY-DATLO); during set up, however, it is filled with the creation date MCVBAP-ERDAT of the item.
By using VDATU document changes you can see in the statistics that this type of 'delta updating' cannot be reproduced by a statistic data set-up. During the set-up the data is updated in different periods as in online updating, thereby causing the change history to be lost.
Procedure
Be certain that this is the type of updating you want.
In MC26 the Credit Memo Update Setting is VD Billing document and Type of Updating is A Cumulative updating
while as in Credit memo pricing procedure there is no subtotal. How to maintain it in Pricing procedure and in MC26 because in MC26 after pressing the change button the system is displaying the following message "Maintenance of SAP standard updates not allowed"

Time Buckets with multiple Key Figures in Each

Hello Experts,
I have seen documents creation of ageing buckets and calculations but not seen any document with ageing bucket having multiple Key Figures part of it.
User's have used Excel to create Bucket header and using V and H lookups they are populating data in to those columns. Is there a way we can achieve this in Bex Designer? Below is what needed on report which would give user's overview of Current Week, Previous Week, Last 4 weeks and Last 13 weeks. I have attached Snapshot for better Understanding
From Excel--->
Target
Current Week
Last 4 Weeks
Utilization
Billable

Hi Sam
If week is your time period analysis then create a structure in columns, above your key figures, based on week selections variable.

I don't think that you will find such a document.
