Key Figure displays as rounded in BEx

Hello,
I have a report that is based off of InfoProvider/Object: 0MATERIAL.
When I run the report, the key figures are displayed as rounded values, for example 15.000 LB, 0.000 LB, 2.000 FT3.
I would like to get 3 decimal places for example 15.255 LB, 1.531 FT3. When I look at the Master Data for 0MATERIAL in RSA1 I see values with greater accuracy then the rounded number obtained in reporting.
Details below...Can someone help?
For infoObject 0MATERIAL, I have the attribute 0NET_WEIGHT key figure.
0NET_WEIGHT has the following properties
Type: QUANTITY
Data type: QUAN - Quantity field, points to a unit field with format UN
Unit of measure - 0UNIT OF WT
Aggregation/Exception Agg: Summation
Cumulative Val
Decimal Places: 0.000
Display "in 1"
Bex Descript: Short description
In BEX under 'Number Format' I have
Scaling factor: (From Key Figure: 1)
Number of Decimal Places: (From Key figure: 0.000)
Thanks,
Nick

Hello Jaya,
When I looked at the T006 table for the following units I obtained the value 0 in field ANDEC
FT3
LB
When I look at tx: CUNI and I set the selection to 'Mass' > then I click on 'Units of Measurement' > Then I select 'LB' and click on 'Details' I see no value for 'Decimal pl. Rounding'
When I look at tx: CUNI and I set the selection to 'Volume' > then I click on 'Units of Measurement' > Then I select 'FT3' and click on 'Details' I see no value for 'Decimal pl. Rounding'
What i see in CUNI on BW matches what I see in CUNI on R3.
None the less, on our development system I made the change via CUNI setting 'Decimal pl. Rounding' to 3 and it seems to be working now.
I could have go to RSA1 > Source Systems > RC'd on my Source System > Chose 'Transfer Global Settings' > Selected the checkboxes for 'Units of Measurement' and then for mode selected 'Update tables' This updates the T006, T006A, T006B, T006C, T006D, T006I, T006J, T006T tables.
But since on R3 the CUNI table had the same information, it wouldn't have helped. That is why I went and updated CUNI directly on BW. When I saved the changes it prompted for a transport which will make it easy to transport to BW Production.
Thanks for the Help!

Subject: Displaying key figures without currency unit in BEX reports

Hello,
Is it possible to display key figures without currency unit in BEx reports? For example; Material Costs 1000 EUR
should be shown as 1000. Currency unit EUR and also scaling factor (*1000 EUR) does not interest us.
When we use display options in query properties, we just see an option of displaying key figures with/without scaling factors, which does not solve our problem.
Thanks for your reply.
Regards,
Nuran Adal

Hi Eugene,
thank you very much for your quick reply. We have very detailed reports with min. 10 columns, I should have defined 10 more formula columns to realize this (NODIM), but anyway there is no other way to do this, am I right?

1. Start BEx Web Application Designer tool
2. Open your webtemplate if you have one or (0analysis_pattern)
3. Go to the "Overview" tab which lists all the webitems in that template.
4. Find the web item with name "ANALYSIS" and go to its properties(or edit) using context menu.
5. find the property "Number of Data Columns Displayed at Once" and change the default value of 4.

Key Figure Display in Interactive Planning

Hello,
I am unable to display some of the key figures in SNP Interactive Planning. All these Key Figures are present in Planning book and are also included in the data view.
Is there any setting wherein I can control the display of Key figure although that key figure is present in Planning book and data view. For Example I have my "safety stock" key figure in my planning book and data view, but I am unable to see the "safety stock" key figure in SNP interactive planning.
Would really appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Sarath.

Hi Visu,
Your answer is really helpful, thanks for that. But while I am trying to hide some key figures it is not allowing me to do so. It is either hiding all the key figures or unhiding all. Please let me know if why the system is behaving like this.
Thanks

Key figure display in planning book with respect to Time bucket profile

Hi,
I am loading a key figure to planning area from the info cube for the current month. When I review the key figure in planning book with monthly time bucket profile it shows 85 for the current month. In the same planning book with weekly bucket profile, it shows 55 from the current week and future weeks and the remaining 30 goes into the past weeks of the current month.
How to make the total quantity 85 to show in the current and future weeks only.
thanks and regards
Murugesan

Hi Murugesan,
Within the Planning Area, the data is stored at the lowest level granularity that you maintain in storage bucket profile. Then during display, system will decide what data to show depending on what kind of time bucket profile you use in the planning view, and the time based disaggregation that you maintain for Key Figure.
In this below case, what time characteristic do you have in cube? Is it date, week or month?
If it's date, check how much KF data is maintained on the dates which belong to week which has days both in this month/last month e.g. if I talk about Dec 2011, how much data is stored 1,2,3 & 4 th of Dec, 2011.
This data would appear in Dec in monthly view, but in week, it would appear in the week starting 28th November.
If data is maintained in cube in weeks, then you need to calculate how time based disaggregation would show it to you in months.
If it's months, then you would need to find out how much data would go to the days in the past week of the month.
The time based disaggregation may be causing you some issues, but in that case, I would not expect 30 out of 85 to go in the past week, unless you have data in cube in days.
Data shown in weekly view for week starting 28th Nov should ideally be a small proportion of 85, unless you are using a time stream/fiscal year variant, due to which most of December is in holidays. The only other exception I can think of is that you have data in teh days mentioned above.
It would be best to help the business understand this disaggregation logic, rather than thinking of manipulating the data to shift to a later week.
If this logic doesn't explain your situation, then please provide the date/week/month at which you have data in cube, and what quantity.
Thanks - Pawan

Key figure display in the query

Hi experts,
In a query in the columns we have 3 key figures. I dragged a characteristic into the columns and
executed. Now for each value in the char it is showing all the 3 key figures.
My requirement is, for only one keyfigure value the characteristic should show the value. For the
remaining 2 key figures it should not show.
The remaining key figures to be displayed as normal.
How to get this ?
Regards,
Nishuv.

Hi Rao,
Thanks for the reply...
My requirement is :
We have netvalue and cutomer outstanding key figure in the columns.
I want to drag terms of paymnet characteristic into the columns.
By doing this the query output will be as follows:
Terms of payment
Net value|Customer outstanding
But my requirement is Terms of payment should be only for Customer outstanding i.e
Terms of payment
Customer Outstanding
It should not take the Netvalue under terms of payment.
Netvalue should be displayed outside.
How to do this ?
Regards,
Nishuv.

Restricted Key figure - Displaying as normal number instead of currency

Hello,
I'm creating a restricted key figure using 0AMOUNT which of course is currency, however in the cube that I'm using 0AMOUNT is used for both Dollars and Quantities. The problem is 1) it is always displaying a $ symbol in front of the key figure and 2) it seems when I try to create a calculated key figure and try to add the 0AMOUNT to another 0QUANTITY infoObject I get an error (I'm presumming because I'm trying to add a number to a currency infoObject).
So my question(s) are 1) Can I format my new restricted key figure to always display as Quantity even though it's a currency info object
and 2) Can I do a calculated key figure adding a Currency InfoObject to a Quantity infoObject?
Thank you very much!
-Patrick

1) For your first question, u don't to have the currency dollar displayed for the restricted 0amount instead you want the unit of quanity.?if you want to do this,you could make use of Excel's format options i.e go to
format-->.Style->Select the stdBexInput item and make the appropriate settings.
2) You can use NODIM() function to add two different keyfigures.

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.

SAP BW Key figures displayed 100 times larger than it should

Dear all,
I'm using Crystal Reports 2008 SP2 und SAP Intetegration Kit X3.1 SP2 to create a report upon a BW Query (7.01). Several key figures are displayed exactly 100 times larger than it should. Only the formatted value is displayed correctly.
Is anyone familiar to this phenomenon?

Key figure description not show in BEx and WAD sometimes

Hi experts!
I have a big problem. Sometimes we have the effect that a report shows no key figures. I mean I see the numbers but no key figure description is shown.
Example (correct)
Country |    Hierarchy   |        Banking      |         ATM       |      ....
Germany |   Key figure 1 |           1.000     |         500       |      ....
        |   Key figure 2 |                27   |           9       |      ....
        |   Key figure 3 |                27   |           9       |      ....
        |   Key figure 4 |                27   |           9       |      ....
Example (wrong)
Country |    Hierarchy   |        Banking      |         ATM       |      ....
Germany |                |           1.000     |         500       |      ....
        |                |                27   |           9       |      ....
        |                |                27   |           9       |      ....
        |                |                27   |           9       |      ....
We can solve the problem if so we deleted the query from the cache but that is not really a good solution.
Any suggestions?

Hi Thomas,
I have a similar problem in WAD. After applying Patch 19, the Key Figures descriptions do not display in certain reports.
From Query Designer, everything is OK.
Could you fix the issue?

Key Figures not showing in BEx Workbooks

Hi,
Recently we migrated the BW3.5 workbooks to BI7. After the migration and transportation of the workbooks to Quality system, in some of the workbooks the Key figures are not showing up and in some workbooks the key figures which are set as 'Hide" in the query are also showing up.
Can anyone please suggest a way to fix this issue.
Thanks in advance.
Kalyan

Hi,
Thanks for your response.
Even if there is no transaction data for the key figure, it should still show up in the report but as blank column, but in my case the key figure is not at all showing in the report.
"Hide" setting for key figure is specific only to BEx and is done in the BEx query, which is being used by the Workbooks, so i do not think that it has anything to do with the InfoObject migration.

Currency Translation with a Calculate Key Figure

Hi,
Does anyone have experience with applying currency translation in BEX/Query Designer on a Calculated Key Figure?
I have a need for a calculated key figure to be converted to a target currency of USD (which is already defined via RRC1). I also need the Results Row to display the summation in USD.
Currently, my calculated key figure displays two currencies (MYR and USD) and an incorrect summation of both currencies.
Here is how I have defined my calculated key figure:
NODIM ( 'Consumption (STOs)' ) * NDIV0 ( 'Material Source Plant Cost' / NODIM ( 'Source Plant Price Unit' ) )
I am multiplying a quantity field by amount field and then dividing by a price per unit field. I have applied NODIM on the other fields so that the amount field will retain it's properties.
Running this query through transaction RSRT and clicking on the Generate Report button, I get the following message:
"Currency translation cannot be carried out for element 20 (my calculated key figure). Element 20 neither contains a Basic key figure nor a variable with type Amount. For this reason, you cannot and do not need to perform a currency translation."
From the above message, I must be setting my calculated key figure incorrectly.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Hau

Hello Ajeet and N Ganesh,
Thank-you for your help. I verified that the dimensions of my key figure 'Material Source Plant Cost' was of type 0AMOUNT, so that was not the issue.
The issue was in the error message that was returned when I pressed the Generate Report button in RSRT. Essentially, currency conversions in BEX can only be performed on basic key figures or simple replacement path variables.
I can perform the currency translation on a SIMPLE calculated key figure that contains only the replacement path variable (where 'Material Source Plant Cost' is an attribute of my master data characteristic ZMAT_SRC). However, I found that I cannot perform the currency translation on COMPLEX calculated key figures, like in my example above.
To get around this currency translation issue and as suggested by the error message, I created a SIMPLE calculated key figure for replacement path variable 'Material Source Plant Cost' and performed the currency translation. The problem with this solution is that while I get my currency translation, I also get a calculated key figure that is aggregated, according to the query layout.
To get around the aggregation issue, I also created a dummy counter as a master data attribute (of ZMAT_SRC) to capture the aggregation. I assign a value of 1 to this dummy counter/master data attribute in the update rules to my ZMAT_SRC infoobject.
I then divide my new (aggregated) calculated key figure for 'Material Source Plant Cost' by the dummy counter (which is also aggregated). Essentially, I divided the aggregated replacement path variable by the scaling factor. The result is that I get a new calculated key figure that has been translated into the target currency and in the correct scaling factor. I can use the new calculated key figures in the above formula; regardless of the report is rolled-up.
Again, thanks for your help. It gave me the pieces to solve this puzzle.

Problem with Non-cumulative key figure.

Hi all,
I am facing the problem with the Non-cumulative Key Figure (Quantity). I have created and loaded data to the non-cumulative InfoCube. This cube is defined by me to test the non-cumulative key figure.
In BEx query the non-cumulative key figure and cumulative key figure (Value change) both display same values, i.e. non-cumulative key figure contains the same values which we have loaded for cumulative value change. Non-cumulative key figure is not calculated based on associated cumulative key figure.
I have done the following while defining the non-cumulative InfoCube:
1. Created a non-cumulative key figure which is associated with a cumulative key figure (value change).
2. Loaded data to non-cumulative InfoCube from flat file.
3. Compressed data in non-cumulative InfoCube after the load.
Note:
1. Validity area is determined by the system based on the minimum and maximum date in data.
2. Validity determining characteristic, 0CALDAY is the default characteristic selected by the system.
Is there any other settings to be done?
Please help me in resolving this issue.
Thanks and regards
Pruthvi R

Being a non-cumulative KF, total stock is automatically takes care of that.
Try putting all the restrictions which you have included for total receipts and total issues, for eg, restrict Total Stock with the movement types used in Receipts as well as Issues.
Check and revert.

Calculated Key Figures Decimal Place Error

Hi Experts,
Wonder if there is anybody to help me out to explain why I am having a problem on the calculated key figures decimal places when if I report on the components of the calculated key figure (restricted key figure) are working correctly?
The calculated key figure is a boolean formula made up of 2 restricted key figures. The 2 restricted key figure are having 2 decimal place (one is 0.36 another is 0.00). In the current condition, the 2 restricted key figure just sums up - 0.36 + 0.00 = 0.36. However the calculated key figure displayed as 0.359999 (6 decimal places) as the result.
I am using BEx Analyzer Excel.

Hi Fang,
right mouse click on your KF and select properties. Then define the number of decimal places you want.
Ciao.
Riccardo.

Steps to create a Restricted Key Figure

Hi,
I am trying to create a BEx Query and want to create a Restricted Key Figure.
I am using BEx 7.x.
Please help me with steps to create a Restricted Key FIgure.
Thnaks and Regards,
Shreyas Shah

Hi Shreyas,
Please find the step by step to create a restricted key figures.
Procedure for Defining a new restricted key figure:
1. In the InfoProvider screen area, select the Key Figures entry and choose New Restricted Key Figure from the context menu (secondary mouse button).
If a restricted key figure has already been defined for this InfoProvider, you can also select the Restricted Key Figures entry and then choose New Restricted Key Figure from the context menu.
The entry New Restricted Key Figure is inserted and the properties for the restricted key figure are displayed in the Properties screen area.
2. Select the New Restricted Key Figure entry and choose Edit from the context menu (secondary mouse button).
The Change Restricted Key Figure dialog box appears.
You can also call the Change Restricted Key Figure dialog box from the Properties screen area by choosing the Edit pushbutton.
You make the basic settings on the General tab page.
The text field, in which you can enter a description of the restricted key figure, is found in the upper part of the screen.
You can use text variables in the description (see Using Text Variables).
Next to that, you can enter a technical name in the Technical Name field.
Underneath the text field, to the left of the Detail View area, the directory of all objects available in the InfoProvider is displayed. The empty field for defining the restricted key figure (Details of the Selection) is on the right-hand side of the screen.
3. Using drag and drop, choose a key figure from the InfoProvider and restrict it by selecting one or more characteristic values. See Restricting Characteristics.
You can also use variables instead of characteristic values. However, note that you cannot use the following variable types in restricted key figures for technical reasons:
Variables with the process type Replacement with Query (see also Replacement Path: Replacement with Querys)
Variables that represent a precalculated value set (see also Details)
You can use these variable types to restrict characteristics in the rows, columns, or in the filter.
4. Make any necessary settings for the properties of the restricted key figure on the other tab pages. See Selection/Formula Propertiess.
5. Choose OK. The new restricted key figure is defined for the InfoProvider.
Let me know if this helps.
Thanks
Sachin
