Lowest Level in APO DP Heirarchy

In APO DP, how would a charecteristic is identified or noted as the lowest level in a heirarchy. I mean, if i have a product heirarchy as Main Grp -> Sub Grp -> SKU and SKU is my lowest level, how do i inform APO about the same. While creating POS there is no option of specifying the lowest level.
Thanks & Regards,
Ganesh

There is no way to specify a characteristic to be lowest level. Unline R/3 Product Hierarchy, APO CVCs are flat.
Notionally SKU is lowest level because the CVCs will be something like the exmaple below where you can see SKU Chacateristic is having unique value not the other characateristics.
CVC   : Product Family         - Product Sub Family    - SKU
CVC1   Home Entertainment - DVD Player                - Model A
CVC2   Home Entertainment - DVD Player                - Model B
CVC3   Home Entertainment - DVD Player                - Model C
CVC4   Home Entertainment - Blu Ray Player           - Model D
CVC5   Home Entertainment - Blu Ray Player           - Model E
and like wise for other product family
CVC6   Personal Entertainment - MP3 Player                - Model XX
CVC7   Personal Entertainment - MP3 Player                - Model XY
The same SKU cannot belong to different Product Family / Sub Family. This is the Product Dimension.
You should have Location Dimension where you define similar notional Hierarchy for Location where the lowest level would be SoldTo or ShipTo which can be part of a Sales Office, Region etc. characteristics.
Hope this helps.

How to confine various level of planning in to limited and lowest level of planning in DP by the users

Hi Gurus,
May I know the various methods to confine planning level at the lowest level and re-define the Primitive methods where business currently uses in excel sheet and plans at all level into demand planning with a minimum and lowest level by which the business reduces manual work and increases visibility and planning.
Example: Business currently plans at customer Hierarchies which has about 6 levels, product has Hierarchies at 5 levels, location hierarchies at 3 level in excel sheet and on monthly level for an year and then quarterly for 2 years and yearly basis for one year. This we need to confine to lowest level of customer, product and location.

So in this case, the cvc are created at lowest level of planning, at P6_C5_L3.
Now how to convenience the business that they need to do the planning at this level for planning, as the rest levels will be aggregated automatically in demand planning.
Is the grouping level place a major role? if so how to do that as the business says for some products they do at p4_c2_L1 level for some they do at P5_C4_L2 level.
Could someone guide us in giving some solution which ease the business need of planning at any level. Hope you have understood my requirement by the above example. If not do let me know, so that I may try to inform by further details. Thanks in advance.
Praveen

Praveen,
Not really sure what the question is. You say you want to 'confine' planning to the most detailed level, but you also want to support planning at an intermediate level.
No matter. DP transparently supports planning at any/all levels simultaneously. Data in DP is always stored at the detail level, no matter which level (or combination of levels) the forecast is entered at.

APO DP- Heirarchy Defination

Dear All,
Can anybody educate me as to wher do we define the Product, Sales Org,Geographical Heirchies for data data consolidation in Data Views.
Product</u>     Product Group
                     Product Variant
Sales Organization     Zonal Manager
                     Regional Manager
                     Customer
Geographical      Country
                      Zone
                      State
Thank you in advance
Ashok

Hi Ashok,
What is the exact requirement. In APO DP planning is carried out at a characteristic value combination (CVC) level. For example Product, Product Group, Customer Location, Sales Office etc. are different characteristics. This is defined in Master Planning Object Structure. Then you create CVCs by populating unique value combinations for these characteristics.
In the data view when you access data you select these CVCs (lowest level or at an aggregate level) in the shuffler and the according data in keyfigures is displayed.
For example if you want to see data for a entire Product Group - you load the data for required product group from Shuffler. Internally the system will determine all the CVCs having that Product Group as a value and aggregate the keyfigure data to display in the data view.
So there is no separate hierarchy that you need to create in APO DP.
However after defining the characteristics in the Master Planning Object Strcuture you can assign them to different dimensions (like location, product, geography) but that has nothing to do with data consolidation in data views. It creates different DIM tables in the APO-BW component for managing CVC values in the internally generated infocube.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

My battery life at a full 100% charge is about 2 hours 22 minutes (backlight and key lights at lowest level). Should I go complaining to Apple or do I just need different software?

My battery life at a full 100% charge is about 2 hours 22 minutes (backlight and key lights at lowest level). Should I go complaining to Apple or do I just need different software? I've only had my mac book since August 2011. The battery dies in 2 to 3 hours with some web surfing (little video play) and photo editing etc. I really don't feel like taking my computer all the way to the apple store to wait there for 5 hours to hear that I need to call someone blah blah blah. Any advice? (BTW Safari hasn't been working since I last updated my mac, WHYYYY?)

Modify Chart Legend Data Behaviour to show only lowest level of drill

I have a chart with a legend in OBIEE 11g.
When I click on chart data or legend it drills to the next level of the hierarchy which is what I want.
However the legend show all levels of the hierarchy in the legend data like this:
"Level 1"."Level 2"."Level 3".
This is very cluttered and redundant as Level 1 & Level 2 are the same for all items.
What I want is that it only shows the lowest level of a hierarchy that has been drilled to eg.
"Level 3"
Is it possible to do this? I've already tried the user guide, on this forum or on google search.
Thanks in advance.

Not sure its doable out the box,
You could hack the popchart JS files I guess, John Minkjan's blog describes some changes , in particular on mouse-hover activity but they should show where to start.

Components in the lowest level of costing structure in SO

Hi,
Could you please let me know is any function module to get Components in the lowest level of costing structure in Sales order.
Thanks,
Harinath

Yes, you can manipulate your components any way you like. Becareful about the layout manager though as it likes to handle the positioning and sizing, so there is an intimate relationship there.
Also call validate() on the container after you make your changes.

Error while mapping fact table to LOWEST LEVEL

Hi
While Iam mapping my fact table using cwm2_olap_table_map, map_facttbl_levelkey , Iam mentioning it has the lowest level of dimension table , it is throwing error . Will it only work for ET not for LOWEST LEVEL?. Infact Iam not storing the embedded total any where in my fact tables .
Can anyone help me in mapping the lowest level of dimension to fact table????

Hi
Are you sure you are using the correct mapping tools. It sounds as if you have a relational schema which reauires a CWM mapping procedure? To map a relational schema it is best to use OEM which has wizards to guide you through the mapping process.
CWM2 metadata is used to map 9iR2 Analytical Workspace objects. These typically involve fully summarised variables within the AW.

How to return list of lowest level elements in a hierarchy given the node o

We would like to return a list of the lowest level Elements in a Hierarchy from a given node of the hierarchy. The level of the node that is given to us is unknown, but regardless, we need the ability to return the lowest level elements. We are trying to find a non-ABAP solution to our needs and trying to use a BEx query as a source for our APD.
In query designer we are able to obtain the correct list when using the Hierarchy and Condition with a Leaf value of '1' to return the lowest level. However, We have come to learn APDs do no support the BEx hierarchies. When we de-selected the 'Activate Hierarchy' display in the query, the entire structure under the given node is returned.
Does anybody know of a way to return just the lowest level elements in a hierarchy so we can feed our APD?
Thanks,
Andrea

expac works only with official and unofficial repos, not with the AUR, but it's very nice.
Adding '-q' should help, grep to weed out false positives.

Aggregation at the lowest level in the cube

Hi guys
I designed very simple test cube with one dimension (both MOLAP driven).
The dimension PRODUCT consists of three levels:
- Group
- Category
- Product_detail
PRODUCT_SRC table to load PRODUCT dimension:
PR_GROUP_NAME PR_GROUP_ID PR_CATEGORY_NAME PR_CATEGORY_ID PR_DETAIL_NAME PRODUCT_DETAIL_ID
dairy 1000 yoghurts 1000000 yoghurt_1 1000000000
dairy 1000 yoghurts 1000000 yoghurt_2 1000000001
dairy 1000 yoghurts 1000000 yoghurt_3 1000000002
candy 1001 cookies 1000001 cookies_1 1000000003
candy 1001 cookies 1000001 cookies_2 1000000004
candy 1001 cookies 1000001 cookies_3 1000000005
beverages 1002 juices 1000002 juice_1 1000000006
beverages 1002 mineral water 1000003 mineral_water_1 1000000007
beverage 1002 energy drink 1000004 energy_drink_1 1000000008
The cube SALES has one measure:
- Value_of_sales (sum aggr)
SALES_SRC table to load SALES cube:
VALUE PROD_ID ID
1236 1000000002 2
115 1000000006 3
1697 1000000005 4

I created the dimension PRODUCT and a mapping which loaded the data into the dimension. It worked perfectly. The hierarchy was created as I expected.
Then I created cube SALES and a mapping which should load the data into the cube. It is very very simple mapping - there were just only two items on the canvas:
- SALES_SRC table
and
- SALES cube
and two lines:
- from SALES_SRC.VALUE to SALES.VALUE_OF_SALES
- from SALES_SRC.PROD_ID to SALES.PRODUCT_NAME
Then I deployed everything and ran mapping, which loaded cube. But in my opinion the cube was not populated in a proper way, because it was no aggregation performed at the lowest level of product hierarchy - there was only a value of the first occurence of certain product. I mean:
In SALES.SRC we have for instance:
VALUE PROD_ID ID
1236 1000000002 2
84 1000000002 9
For me the the value in the cube should be 1236 + 84 = 1320, but the value in the cube at PRODUCT_DETAIL_LEVEL for yoghurt_3 is only 1236 - first occurence of this product in SALES.SRC.
Why hasn't been the data aggregated at lowest level of PRODUCT dimension hierarchy - is it the way OWB does such things?
Should I manually aggregate the data before loading to cube (just to use Aggregator to aggregate the data at lowest level)? If yes - what about incremental loading of data to cube (the old value value is simply replaced by new one and not summed in the cube)
In data warehouse solutions of other vendors the cube in such situation is loaded as I expected here.
I really don't know what to do. I do really appreciate any help from you.
Thank you in advance
Peter

Hi David
Thank you very much.
Now I'm sure that I have to aggregate facts by myself at the lowest level of hierarchy in a dimension.

Multi Layered Drill automatically goes to lowest level after first run

Hi there,
I'm using Xcelsius Engage 5.3.0.0.
I have 3 combo charts each at a different level in drill down.
Chart1: Faculty Level
Chart2: Department Level
Chart3: Discipline Level
So 1 faculty can contain many departments and one department can contain many disciplines.
Each graph dynamically appears over the other as the user drills down to level 3. I use "back" buttons using push buttons to clear previous input from the chart drill downs.
My problem is that the drill down functionality works perfectly the FIRST TIME THROUGH but any time after that, it always drills through to the lowest level from the top automatically without letting me see Chart2.
For example, if I drill on a faculty into the department chart and then select a department and drill into the discipline level that works fine. I then press back and am returned to the department level chart, click back one more time and am returned to the faculty level again. HOWEVER, once I select a different faculty to drill down on, I'm immediately shipped to the 3rd (discipline level) of that faculty.
I've noticed that after it's worked properly the first time through, when I'm "backing out" using the push buttons and going back past the level 2 chart, a department is still highlighted as selected (even though all graphs involved are set to no default selection). So when I back out and select a different faculty I think department level chart still highlighted as selected is having an effect and Xcelsius thinks a user is clicking on a department so it ships me right off to the lowest level.
I've done some googling and others are having the exact same problem I'm having:
http://www.forumtopics.com/busobj/viewtopic.php?p=797270#797270
I'd love a work around that doesn't involve the reset button.
Thanks.

Another of the same issue.
Is there a bug fix or where can I submit this to be reviewed?

How to include non-joining records from level one in the lowest level?

As an example the dimension has three levels with data coming from three source tables. The relationships between these tables are zero to many. As a result of this e.g. there are records at the first level that do not join to the second table for level two, i.e. there is a customer entry but the customer has not acquired any products. However, we would like to see in the query for the lowest level also the customers that didn't acquire any products. They are there when there is no filter for the lowest level, but that returns duplicate data. I was hoping I could accomplish this by using outer joins when loading the dimension, but it loads the same as without the outer joins. Hopefully, this trivalized example describes what I am trying to accomplish.

You won't be able to have a true "default" value in the various cascading levels, since there aren't default values in a dynamic cascading parameter. That being said, I've created a sample report in Crystal Reports 2008 that has a Command-driven DCP with '*' values for the 2nd and 3rd levels of my 3-tier DCP and have accounted for them in the record selection criteria. You can find the sample here at https://www.box.net/shared/mav5qp337j

Hierarchy drill down issue at the lowest level

Hi,
In OBIEE 11.1.1.5 I face an issue with drill down to lowest level of presentation hierarchy (expanded by "+" in report). It happens only for combination of 2 dimensions presentation hierarchies in analytics report (parent-child organizational structure + level based product categorization). Aggregated date comes from OLAP but lowest level product information comes from relational database and this details are not displayed.
First I drill to particular sales rep in organizational structure. Then for that sales rep I need to drill down product hierarchy and it works except lowest level of details. At the lowest level of product hierarchy, query sent to database (I have it from logs) return proper results (checked directly in db) but report behaves the way like there are no details at the lowest level and product details are not displayed.
Both (Organizational structure, Product) dimension presentation hierarchies works ok at all levels when used separately. Also product hierarchy works well at all levels (including OLAP->relational drill) when used togather with other level-based hierarchies in subject area.
I am wondering what I could have done wrong...
Advices are very welcome!

Hierarchy keys are set properly and "use for display" is checked.
Dimension presentation hierarchies does not work only when I use particular two hierarchies togather in one report table. When each of hierarchies is displayed separately it works ok.

Why do we need to plan promotions at the lowest level of aggregation

Hi,
The documentation says that we need to plan the promotions at the lowest level of aggregation i.e., the material level. Why? Is there a specific reason for this? Can we plan at other levels of aggregation as well? What happens if we plan at higher level;s of aggregation?
Thanks.

I think it is possible to do it in an aggregated level however you need to define your distribution rules in order to get the desired result, you need also to consider that if distribution rules changes and the value after promotional planning returns the same value, it is possible that detailed level are not realigned to the new distribution rule (e.g. regarding another ratio).
Maybe this is one of several causes.

Carlos

Assign WBS AVAC not in the lowest level of WBS elements

Dear SAP Community,
Our client has requirement to have budget availability control in WBS element level 3 while the WBS structure is until level 5 and the actual posting will occurred in WBS element level 5.
Our current setting is to have WBS element level 5 as Planning Element and Account Assignment Element. So, user can upload their WBS planning data from the lowest level of WBS structure. Then we copy the Planning Data as Budget through CJ30 and release it through CJ32.
If we set the value of Budget Data in CJ30 and CJ32 until the level 5, the system check AVAC in WBS level 5 instead of the amount rolled up in WBS level 3. If we set the value of Budget Data in CJ30 and CJ32 in WBS level 3, the system will check AVAC in WBS level 3 (as we expected) but the consequence is comparison of actual vs budget in WBS level 5 will have variance 100%.
Is there any way to define the budget data until WBS level 5 but the AVAC control is in WBS level 3?
Appreciate your inputs
Thank you and best regards,
Fitria

We had similar kind of requirement, we had followed the above process. THis will provide the required functionality except the variance in reports. Try and convince the client to settle for this if this meets your requirements.
As AVAC can't be managed at WBS levels.

Harsh.
