Long text problem in BW query and Key figure name

Hello
We're using SAP BO 4.0 (IDT) and SAP BW as a datasource. Maybe someone knows:
1. How to change the name of keyfigure, which now appears as Formula 1, Formula 2 etc. In BW every single key figure has it's own name Sales, Purchases etc. What I'm missing here?
2.As you well might know every single char infoobject has it's own Long\Short\medium which now appears as an attribute. When I choose multiple Long definitions then the execution of a BEx query fails with 'Inconsistent answers'. In Universe Designer we can change the objects name, but how to proceed here. Do I need to change something on a Bex query level?
I'm well familiar with SAP BO, but due to lack of experience in SAP I'' ve hit astumbling block with these 2 things> Any assistance would be more than welcome
Thanks in advace

Hi,
for (1) - that doesn't sound right... i think your KF are calculated KF (CKF) possibly with a formulae variable .. or something, which is supposed to populate the name, based on a user response ?
Or maybe you've got non-unique KF descriptions, and this is some system imposed nomenclature?
for (2) i'm not so sure, but you may have to change the infoobject text setting, globally, in RSA1. webi won't like non-unique labels if the keys are different.. How does it look with the default 'key and text' (medium) setting?
yes you can change the characteristic display properties in Bex query designer, but i have a funny feeling that it doesn't get consumed by webi over that API. (it's native OLAP stuff for BEx really...)
Good luck

Display long text of characteristic in Query name

Hi All,
I have implemented RRI between my sender and receiver query.
When user will click on WBS Element in my sender query the receiver query name will be the name of that WBS Element.
After execution,I am able to see the Short text associated with Characteristic WBS ELement but i want to display Long text of WBS Element in Receiver query name.
I have tried to implement the same logic as suggested by Bhanu in following blog:
Variable screen in Web report
Kindly,suggest the appropriate solution for this issue.
Thanks in advance.

Hi All,
I am still facing the same problem.
Kindly suggest me the appropriate solution for displaying WBS Element's Long Text in Receiver's Query Name.
Thanks in advance.

Maximum number of characteristics and Key figures used in a Query

Hi Experts,
Any Thought on the maximum number of Characterstics and key figures that can used in a Query. I know it impacts performance query and runs for very long time.
Thanks,
Kumar.

Hi Kumar,
Welcome to SDN.
I really did not think about it till now, sharing my thoughts on this -
1. You can use all the characteristics & Key Figure ( & more)in Query what you have in you Cube.
2. Query is suppose to serve a purpose, to deliver you analytics based on some KPI etc & it will have maximum no of char / key figures which human mind could make some sense of.
3. Performance of query actually is divided into three areas -
a. database time
b. OLAP time
c. Front End time
and if you query on not performing well first look at which area is taking maximum time & the optimize that first & there are various ways to optimize each area.
Hope it helps.

Long Text problem in Process order header

Hi All,
I am using SAVE_TEXT FM to update the header long text in process order.
Also, I am updating the field AUFK-LTEXT = 'E'.
But when i display the order and click on long text, it does not display any thing as the text is not saved.
When I update the text directly in the order using COR2, it gets saved.
Does anyone know why the text is not being saved through FM SAVE_TEXT?
Also tried COMMIT WORK but was not successful.
The paramters I am passing to the FM are
TDOBJECT = 'AUFK'
TDID = 'KOPF'
TDSPRAS = SY-LANGU
TDNAME = sy-mandt+order number with leading zeros.
and the text lines in internal table.
Am I missing anything else here?
Thanks,
Sandeep

Hi Sandeep,
First check table STXH for the order which you saved manually, in order to verify that the values you are passing to the FM SAVE_TEXT are correct.
Also check the documentation which is supplied with this function to determine the INSERT and SAVEMODE_DIRECT values.
Also maybe check function COMMIT_TEXT and its documentation.
Regards,
Robert
PS. also test the scenario in which text s/b added to already existing text. The SAVE_TEXT function wipes out everything and therefore you first should read the existing text (READ_TEXT) to retrieve the current text and save this together with the new text using SAVE_TEXT. (check function group STXD for possible related functions to use).
PPS. Thinking about my comments under PS., I recall now that this was the symptom of the long text passed on through BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE and therefore maybe this is not the case for SAVE_TEXT.

Query Designer - Key Figures on the Rows

Hi experts,
I inserted in a query the key figures into the rows.
I would like to see on the report the "KEY" of these key figures and not the "TEXT", but I can't find a way to do that.
Can anyone help me?

InfoSet in SAP BI 7.10 and Key figure aggregation

HI SAP Gurus,
I am new in SAP BI area. I have my first problem.
I want to create a report for the profit of goods.
The cost of goods(cogs) are constant for each material for one month.
The formula to calculate the profit of goods = sales turn over u2013 cogs of month *sales amount.
I have defined in BW time dependent infoObejct with attribute cogs.
I have 2 info Sources. InfoCube for transactional sales data from R/3 and material cogs master data loaded from csv file each month to infoObject.
The info Provider for report is InfoSet (transactional Cube and cogs infoObject) .
My problems are
1) When I create an InfoSet, SAP BW create automatically new technical name for all characteristics and key figures and the first technical name should be alias fr each InfoCube and InfoObject in the InfoSet.
2) The new technical name infoSet erased my aggregation references characteristic (=calmonth)
3) In the report the key figure cogs was aggregated for each customer sales and customers, that means the value of cogs is not constant, when it is aggregated according to customer sales order.
Thanks a lot for your support

Solomon find some code below for the start routine, change the fields and edit code to suit your exact structure and requirements but the logic is all there.
4) Create a Start Routine on the transformation from sales DSO to Profit of Goods InfoCube.
Use a lookup from the the COG DSO to populate the monthly COG field in the COG DSO.
**Global Declaration
TYPES: BEGIN OF I_S_COG,
/BIC/GOODS_NUMBER TYPE /BIC/A<DSO Table name>-/BIC/GOODS_NUMBER,
/BIC/GOODS_NAME TYPE /BIC/A<DSO Table name>-/BIC/GOODS_NAME,
/BIC/COG TYPE /BIC/A<DSO Table name>-/BIC/COG,
/BIC/PERIOD TYPE /BIC/A<DSO Table name>-/BIC/PERIOD,
END OF I_S_COG.
DATA: I_T_COG type standard table of I_S_COG,
wa_COG like line of i_t_COG.
*Local Declaration
data: temp type _ty_t_SC_1.
*move SOURCE_PACKAGE[] to temp[].
temp[] = SOURCE_PACKAGE.
select /BIC/GOODS_NUMBER /BIC/GOODS_NAME /BIC/COG /BIC/PERIOD from
/BIC/A<DSO Table name>
into corresponding fields of table i_t_COG for all entries in
temp where /BIC/GOODS_NUMBER = temp-/BIC/GOODS_NUMBER.
sort i_t_COG by /BIC/GOODS_NUMBER.
loop at SOURCE_PACKAGE assigning <source_fields>.
move-corresponding <source_fields> to wa.
loop at i_t_COG into wa_COG where /BIC/GOODS_NUMBER =
<source_fields>-/BIC/GOODS_NUMBER and /BIC/PERIOD =
<source_fields>-/BIC/PERIOD.
modify SOURCE_PACKAGE from wa transporting /bic/COG.
endloop.
endloop.
5) Create an End Routine which calculates Profit using the formula and updates the result set with the value in the Profit column.
Given your requirement for the profit calculation
profit of goods = sales turn over u2013 cogs of month * sales amount
Write a simple end routine yourself
*Local Declaration
loop at RESULT_PACKAGE.
<result_fields>-profit = <result_fields>-sales turn over - <result_fields>-COG * <result_fields>-sales amount.
modify RESULT_PACKAGE from <result_fields> transporting profit.
endloop.
As the above start and end routines are used to enhance your sales DSO, your fields for customer number and the sales order should already be in your DSO for drilldown.
Let me know how you get on.

How to create a document on a characteristic and key figure combination?

Hello,
I will need to create for my customer a document on a characteristic and key figure combination. I don't know yet which BW objects will be concerned, but I'm trying to understand how it works.
1) I call the document screen in RSA1.
2) I select InfoProvider data.
3) I click on Create, enter a name and a description and go to the next register (Log.DOc.Properties).
Question: What do I need to select here?
According to SAP Help, the following has to be maintained:
InfoProvider: How can I get my cube diplayed in the list?
Query: Same question. But is it necessary to select a query?
Key Figure: OK
All characteristics for which the Characteristic is Document Property indicator is set: OK
Hide Name: OK
Thanks in advance for you help, Nathalie

Query with key figures on separte lines

Hello bw experts. I have a query question. I am building a query with several structures going down the left side and I want two sets of key figures going across (jan through Dec). That is easy but what I cannot figure out is how to get key figure 1 to be on line 1 jan through dec and key figure 2 to be on line 2 (jan through dec) I want key figure 1 to show on the line with plan and key figure 2 to show on the line with actual
Jan Feb Mar Apr etc. etc.
plan
actual
Thanks in advance for any and all help
Jim

Hi,
When you go for the Cell Editor option, this particular scenario would be pretty easy to achieve and apart from why don't you try for putting the month field in Column and the Plan & Actual Structures in the Rows.

PM Order, cost and key figures

I have created and configured a new PM planning plant, cost center, work center, pm types and all that usual of PM requirement, but still I think something is missing in in the ingredient because when I try to creat a PM order and assign a bunch of operations with man hours to it, I discovered that there is NO cost and key figures showing...basically the estimated cost show $0.00. In other Plant it shows correct est cost.
Any help will greatly appreciate with rewarding points.
Thanks,
Tim

COst in order operations will get summarised under cost tab as labour/internal cost provided-
1.Activity rate is maintained for activity via KP26 for cost centre
2.Cost center is entered into work centre master data.
3.Value category maintained correctly for cost element group where cost elemnt for internal cost is within this group.
In your case it seems missing link is activity rate maintenace.
Thanks

Function module to get the chars and key figures of an infocube

Hi Everyone,
Can anyone please let me know is there any function module where if I pass the infocube name as the input parameter, it has to give me the output parameters its characteristics and key figures.
I require this to display the report in drilldown form i.e first the infocube name and then later its chars-i.e its fiscyear, etc and then compcode..
Thanks,
Prashant.

Thanks the fm is really very helpful, but is there anyother fm or table which stores all the record count of the infocubes in the bw systems according to there infoobjects, say for eg. infocube a has fiscyear and for the year 2000 or 2001 the no:0f records information.
It would be nice if anyone knows is there any fm which gives all these information.
Thanks,
Prashant.

Max no. of Characteristics and key figures stored in infocube

Hi All,
What is the maximum number of characteristics and key figures that can be stored in the infocube?
Best Regards,
Chandan Dubey

Alright,
Now what I know about that is max 255 chars and 255 key figures can be stored. Here I am talking about the individual planning levels (like product, product group, customer, location and so on) and not the "DATA". I know data storage can not be defined in numbers and no significance too.
I hope my question is clearer now !!

Available characteristics and key figures in drilldown reports

Hi,
I'm wondering which table /structure defines what characteristics and key figures are available for drilldown reports (eg. G/L), and if it is possible to add new chars/key figs.
I reckon there must be a structure resembling Report Painter libraries, where you can select fields from a reporting table. I just can't find that structure anywhere.
Any help is appreciated.
Best regards,
Jarkko Kuusisto

For GL the menu path is Financial accounting-general ledger accounting-G/L accounts-Line items-line item display.
Here you select the way the line item display is set up. Also you can select the fields you want and additional fields as well. Some tcodes range from O7F1 and O7FE.
This varies by module but is generally in the line item or information systems section in configuration.
Go to GR21 and drop down the tables and you can see all the tables availble for report painter.
You can add tables to report painter in sm30 in table T804A. That makes it availble for report painter.
please assign points. It is appreciated.

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.
Regards
Sujay

How to add the required characterists and key figures to drill down report?

hi,
i am creating a drill down report using t.code FKI4. however i noticed that some of the characteristics and key figures required by me is not listed in the report catalog. how can i add the required characteristis and key figures to the report catalog?

Hi Inna,
Based on my research, a drilldown report is a layout design that at first hides complexity and enables the user to toggle conditionally hidden report items to control how much detail data they want to see. Drilldown reports are used to change the report
layout interactively. So it wouldn’t affect the rows displayed in the outmost group. Though some rows are hidden when the report is initially run, it will still count them. This is by design.
Furthermore, if I understand correctly, you also expect the outmost group is a dynamic group depends on the drilldown action, right? As per my understanding, this function still cannot be achieved at this moment.
Thanks for your understanding.

Katherine Xiong
