Matrix Structures

I have created a matrix in two dimensions. Functional and Administrative. I have created relationship between a position and two superior positions. For the first superior position, I used 002 and for the second superior positions I used 004 relationship. (I hope 002 cannot be used twice for the same position.)
I tried to generate the matrix structure. The dot was black only in 002 relationship. It should be black in 004 also, but it is not black.
Points assured!
Thanks,
Nivedita

Hi
Why do you want to use the relation 004 for. Can you just explain the scenario.
As in Matrix structures scenario you have explained i think u want to give one person reporting to two different managers am i Right?
If it is so please use the dotted line relationship for the second position reporting than using the relation 004.
Ge back if problem exists.

BPC 10.0 NW - Matrix structured security

Hej Gurus,
I have been searching the internet for information about the possibility of doing matrix structured security in BPC 10.0 NW.
I have found that it is possible to do in 7.5 using a BADI, and I know that it is standard in BPC 10.1. However, I have not found a conclusive proof of it being possible in BPC 10.0 NW, can somebody please confirm og decline the possiblity of using security structured security.
If it is possible, how can we acheive it?
Best regards,
Mikkel Kristensen

Hi Gersh,
It seems to be a hidden feature within BPC 10.1. For example it is not mentioned in the security guide.
What is needed is some sort of how to guide for this. In fact there are no how to guides for BPC 10.1 at all!! Something I find surprising as the product has been GA for several months.
You said that it is delivered and works in 10.1. Can you please explain how to activate and implement it.
Regards,
Mark

Matrix structure with MSS

Hi , good Afternoon.
Is posible user matrix structure (Matrix Organizations) with MSS?
Regards

Hi Juan,
That's possible, but you have to follow OADP config (to include the custom relationship from your matrix org), then make accesible to MSS apps.
You can enhance a group of org. views (by adding your custom relationships) to avoid do changes to MSS apps; for example for appraisal documents you have the 'MSS_HAP_STATUS' group, with the following views;
MSS_HAP_EE_DIR
MSS_HAP_EE_ORG1
MSS_HAP_EE_ORG2
MSS_HAP_EE_SRCH
you can add a (previous created) custom view;
ZEE_FROM_MATRIX
Or create a new group, then depending on the app, you have to do some changes (for FPM apps like Employee Information -> maintain the FPM, in another, just change iView properties).
Check for OADP config in the SDN Community, there is a lot of threads that can help you to build your custom solution.
you can start in SAP Help: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2004/helpdata/en/7f/bb834014d26f1de10000000a1550b0/content.htm

Dynamic Smartform - Matrix structure

Hi All
i have a requirement to create a table dynamically in a matrix format. i am new to smartforms
scenario is something like
1) My internal table structure
*Article   Store     Quantity*
1a         S303         2
2a         S304            3

5a         S307         5
1b         S303         2
2b         S304         3
3b         S305         2
4b         S306         4
5b         S307         5
i want my smartform to be like
*Article     S303         S304     S305         S306     S307*
1a              2          3               2           4                5
1b              2          3               2           4            5
suggest me how can i achieve this.thanks in advance.
Internal table structure may vary time to time

Article   Store     Quantity
1a         S303         2
2a         S304         3

4b         S306         4
5b         S307         5
for this same internal table you have one more filed like char1.
new internal table is
Article   Store     Quantity   char1
1a         S303         2           a
2a         S304         3           a
3a          S305         2            a
4a          S306         4            a
5a         S307         5            a
1b         S303         2             b
2b         S304         3            b
3b         S305         2             b
4b         S306         4          b
5b         S307         5           b
here you can take 2 varibles like
data: var1 type char 250,
        var2 type char250,
        lv_n(3)   type n.
lv_n = 20
loop at newitab into wa_itab.
concatenate ' 10 char space' wa_itab-store into var1+lv_n(20).
concatenate ' 10 char space' wa_itab-Quantity into var2+lv_n(20). .
at end of char1.
append var1 to final interbal table
append var2 to final interbal table
clear lv_n.
lv_n = 20.
endat.
lv_n = lv_n + 20.
endloop.

Matrix structure.

Hi,
Does anybody have some good documentation about Matrix organization in OM.can anybody explain me waht is use of matrix and how we use matrix in real time scenarios.and for example
what will be dimention 1 and 2.if i want one org unit reports to more than one org unit .can u show me with example it will be highly appreciated i am really confused about Matrix.
Thanks.
Sunil.

Hi
I do not have document but can help you with the required steps
1 You have to define the relationship which you want to maintain in a matrix in table T779M.(If not working you can go through SPRO under OM).For creating this table you have to mention relationship name along with dimensions.For each dimension you have to give object type and the evaluation path.(eg O-O-S , O-O-S-P, O-S-P, O-O-VACS etc depending upon the matrix you want to maintain)
2.Through Tcode PPME change access and PPMS display access you can see the relation which you have maintained in the above said table.Here you can maintain the relationships.

Matrix report - row field text extends into cell field's display space

The horizontal elasticity of the row field in the matrix is set to VARIABLE. This row field's horizontal elasticity needs to be VARIABLE (not FIXED).
However, this causes problems because if the row field's text length is long, the matrix does not change accordingly, i.e. the cell field does not move to the right to make room for the row field. So the row field extends into the display space of the cell field, and the text of the row and cell field overlap, and so the text is almost impossible to read (as well as ugly).
I have tried to put a frame around the row and cell field so that they are together and move accordingly, but this hasn't helped. I have also tried anchors but they cause the fields to appear NULL when they are not.
Any help is appreciated.

I think you'll need to revert to a fixed sized field and increase the height of the field to cope with the number of rows that you could have.
You might be able to create a repeating frame above the matrix that tracks the matrix and pushes the whole matrix down as it expands, but I don't see how you could do this within the matrix structure itself.

So Can I determine the business partners linked to user based on the assigned role and org. structure?

Hello, I am working on a SAP CRM 7 Sales implementation and we are implementing leads and opportunity scenarios. The current business organization model is that there multiple vertical and horizontal departments. This is typical matrix structure. This organization has done the segregation of its clients based on the verticals so every clients belongs to at least one or more Vertical department but Horizontal departments can contact all the clients. In the same way sales executives are also either belonging to one or more Verticals or Horizontal departments? Horizontal sales executive can create leads for any clients available in the system but a Vertical sales executive can only create lead only for the client belongs to his vertical and assigned to him. This can be achieved by creating organization structure and business partner relationship.
Now the problem statement is that few sales executives need work for both some Verticals and Horizontals at the same time. But requirement is that they should be able to do the both roles with single user id but multiple roles. So when sales executive is creating leads his vertical department, he should only be able to select clients assigned to his Vertical only but when he is creating lead for Horizontal department, he should be able to select any clients.
So Can I determine the business partners linked to user based on the assigned role and org. structure?
Please let me know if this is not clear also note we are only using CRM WebUI no SAP ePortal.
Thanks a lot your help in advance.

Matrix Organization in OM Module

Hi experts,
My client want to implement matrix Organization in OM Module. I have to study about matrix organization and until now I still have no ideas what actually matrix organization was. My question is :
1. What is the matrix organization ?
2. What is the function of matrix organization ?
3. What is the impact if I implement this?
4. Is that any possibility to implement matrix organization in OM module.
Needs your help. Thanks in advance.

Dual reporting using Matrix

Hi,
     I facing problem in OM reporting , one position reporting to more than one position.
     I have create new matrix structure positions wise below:
     Dimension1 :   Dimension1 matrix
     object type :   S
     Eval. Path   :   A-002
     Dimension2 :   Dimension2 matrix
     object type :   S
     Eval. Path   :   A-002
    Relationship: A-002
   Pls guide me, where i m wrong fro creating above matrix, and also tell me how to i use this matrix for defining Dual reporting by        PPME   Tcode.    please provide me the solution to my problem.

Hi,
Have you selected the Reporting Structure View.
I thought that, you need the view of two dimensional report. To view the Dotted line Reporting, its A088. Sorry for misunderstanding.
Good luck

Matrix organization

hi,
does anyone tell me more on the matrix organization? if we want to implement the matrix organization, should we have 2 version (one for company code and the other by profit centre)?
Is there any detail information / link on this that i can read?
Thanks in advance.

1. should i run Data and Consolidation task for both hierarchies?
Data collection tasks are to be run one time for both (every data record in matrix structure will contain both ConsUnits).
CoI tasks are to be run two times, for each hierarchy separately.
2. How about AFD, should I input AFD equity and investment in both hierarchies?
Negative. As with data records, DSO objects which keep entered AFD contain both COnsUnits and there is no need (and no possibility) to enter data for them separately.
3. Could you kindly give a more detail/scenarion on this statement?
"Only entries belonging to indicated PLs are to be executed separately".
Mentioned PLs are ConsGroup-dependent. Since ConsGroups are to be different for these two ConsUnits, execution of the tasks generating entries of such PLs (namely: CoI, group org changes and elimination of unrezlised profit in inventory in case of supply chain) is to be done from ConsGroups level, separately for each hierarchy of ConsUnits.

Matrix organisation for CO

< MODERATOR: Message locked. Please post this message in the [Controlling forum|SAP ERP Financials - Controlling;. >
Dear all,
in our company we have a matrix organisation in terms of controlling and budgeting.
That means the organisational structure of the company is represented by a cost center hierarchy.
While opening new offices across the country it is requires to have some kind of matrix structure for the CO-assignment when posting documents.
So that we have one dimension for cost centers (which represents the functional structure) and one dimension for the offices (which represents the regional structure).
As an example a posting to an expense account has to be assigned to "cost center 0815" AND "regional office Hamburg".
We now made up our minds for a couple of days but didn't find a solution. Does anybody know if this is possible at all with SAP-CO?
Many thanks in advance,
Sven
Edited by: Sven Joachim on Oct 8, 2008 12:34 PM
Would it be useful to take "functional area" as the second CO-dimension?

Hi Eli,
we already use internal orders for other things. Business area is to short while it only contains 4 chars and we need at least 6 chars. So I'm trying to use functional area and see if I can do my cost controlling and budgeting that way.
For planning the offices budgets (represented by functional areas now) I think I will have to use a parallel cost center hierarchie with dummy cost centers for the offices (with the same name as the functional area).
That's my theoretical concept by now. If someone has a better idea to realize matrix org.structure in CO, please please let me know! I will post the results of my attempt as soon as I have implemented and briefly tested it.
Thanks so far!
Sven

Hi Nisha
We generally categorise the reports in a matrix structure based on the following criteria -
1. Usage of the report, eg. monthly, weekly and so on
2. Data to be processed per usage, eg. no of records
3. Criticality of the report, eg, must have, useful, important, nice to have and so on
4. Intended users of the report, eg, management, top management, support satff and so on
Based on the matrix and the estimated effort required for each report, we make a decision of which reports to be created and the ranking of the reports, that is, which reports to be created on an urgent basis and which ones can be taken up later.
Also, the same matrix can be used for determining the authorizations for the reports.
Pls feel free to contact me in case of any further queries/clarifications.

Implementing roles and rules based authorisation with Azure AD

Hi all,
I would greatly appreciate some input on feasibility and patterns I should look at for a complex technical requirement that I am currently tasked with designing.
We have a system that comprises a web and mobile app. In the past we have implemented session based authentication through ADAM and authorisation through custom business rules contained within the applications. The authentication mechanism is in the process
of being migrated to Azure AD and authorisation is planned to be moved to Azure AD for our next release.
Existing authorisation within our web application is already complex. We have users that belong to different groups with a range of permissions such as read, write or admin. Additionally each user is granted access to N customers and also N locations within
each customer. We have a requirement that any number of combinations of customers and locations be supported. Users also need to have different permissions for each entity, i.e. read access to customer 1 location 2, write access to customer 4 and administer
customer 7. Currently these privileges are maintained within a relational database and enforced as part of each PageLoad(). Essentially this is a combination of roles and rules based authorisation.
We are struggling to represent this complex matrix structure within Azure AD and efficiently implement the authorisation decision in Azure AD. The driver for this technical requirement is to provide re-usability of the authorisation component to other (as
yet unidentified) applications.
Currently the best option we have come up with is implementing custom attributes for each class of permissions and storing within this 2048 bit field a bitmask that represents whether this permission is granted for a given location (which has a many to one
relationship with customer).
Any help or comment would be gratefully received,
Phil

Hi
When "Advance routing" is used for Task assignment; the task service asserts the folllowing fact types : Task, PreviousOutcome and TaskAction to the rules engine. These facts gives all the reqd info about the task (like outcome of the participant, task stage .. etc)
Now in the defined ruleset; we can have rules as per our requirement that can extract info from the asserted fact types and assign task to the required/next participant.
Also note that we write the advance rules for exception cases only.
For example; let's say all participants have 2 possible Outcomes [COMPLETE, RECHECK]. We have defined the ideal task routing flow as :
Participant A -> Participant B -> Participant C. This is the flow when all participant selects "COMPLETE"
Now suppose B selects outcome as "RECHECK" then the task shld move back to A. So for this case only we need to write a advance rule.
Pls refer to the code sample at : http://download.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/hwf/workflow-106-IterativeDesign.zip
Also dev guide : refer to section 28.3.7.2 http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/integration.1111/e10224/bp_hwfmodel.htm#BABBFEJJ

AE SDK wrapper

Hi
I've just been working on a project writing AE plugins - mostly fairly basic things like drawing and animating geometric shapes. This has been my first foray into After Effects plugins. However in doing so I must confess to finding the API painful and the documentation impenetrable. It has taken me the best part of a year working on-and-off on this project to feel comfortable writing basic plugins - and I never even got as far as smart plugins.
Anyway, along the way I've begun to write a series of C++ wrappers around the API to manage resources, things like an multi-d array class to correctly handle AE memory management, some transformation code using the after effect matrix structure and the beginnings of a World class for managing AE_Worlds and doing drawing etc. I was wondering if there was any demand for this kind of thing in the community and if it was worth me developing further? The kind of thing I'm imagining is a more object oriented and easier to use interface to the SDK, with better resource management - to save the memory leaks. I know the code I've written already has massively speeded up my plugin development and reduced bugs. Maybe it would be some help to others.
In the end though, I'm self employed so it boils down to would anyone be interested enough in a "nice" API interface to buy it and make it worth my time developing. I wondered if anyone here had any thoughts or even might be interested in a finshed product?
Phil

well, here are my 2 cents about this issue.
any modernisation of the AE API would be a welcome change. i of course am
using my own libs made over time.
will there be a demand for a payed AE super lib? i'll try to break it down,
to the best of my knowledge.
from what i gathered from my years at the forum, there are 3 demographics
here.
i'd say the breakdown is like so (based on intuition, not research):
1. 30% are complete noobs, with very little or no programming experience,
usually AE artists with an idea they'd like to fiddle with.
noobs are less likely to buy a library, as they have little prospect of
what their product will become. it's more of an intellectual challenge for
them, and actually using a crude c code is easier for a noob than learning
c++ concepts. however, noobs can evolve into semi-pros.
common problems noobs hit:
a. adding new params (to be set at 3 different places).
b. allocation and deallocation of objects.
c. image processing, not via a suite.
d. a dire need for better sample projects.
2. 50% are semi pro programmers with AE experience, and a better grip of
what their idea entails, and what it's worth.
semi-pros may buy a library, if they had failed at solving a certain
problem by themselves and the price is right. i'd imagine most semi-pros
develop on their spare time and make a living elsewhere, so they'd rather
spend more time than spend money. (again, until they hit a wall or come to
a realization that it's better to buy a lib)
common problems semi-pros hit:
a. combination of AEGP style project operations in an EFFECT plug-in.
b. custom UIs.
c. an even bigger dire need for better sample projects than that of a noob.
3. 20% are professional programmers, with little or no AE experience,
executing a commissioned work by a 3rd party.
commissioned pros on the other hand, they have a budget and a schedule.
they're used to using off the self libraries and consider it a shortcut.
surprisingly enough, even seasoned pros run into walls with AE's API. so
they're rather a sure sell. (given they know of your library, and it offers
a solution to the problem they've hit)
common problems pros hit:
a. wasting time learning the API nuances and subtleties. (and there are
many)
b. realizing what the API limitations are.
c. overcoming API limitations. (doing stuff against AE's will)
all 3 demographics would LOVE to have more sample projects, and better
sample project.
my guess is, that if your library is of good enough quality, has
interesting enough sample projects, and will be brought to the attention of
the developer, you'll see some sells.
there's a world surge of AE development. for the last 2 years i saw the
demand increase x2 each year. i don't know when that surge will peak, but
it's there.
i also don't know how to estimate the market size. in this forum there are
about 20 active users, so i'm guessing there are a mere few hundreds AE SDK
developers out there at best. is the library development worth while?
depends entirely on your costs of development, and whether such tools
evolve from your actual project's work or are you developing the library as
a project on it's own merit.
these have been my 2 cents.
please take everything here as my personal opinion and not as a fact.
having said that, i hope it helped.

Rounding differences - translation in BCS to thousands

Hello everybody,
We translate the figures from Local currency (ILS) to thousands Local currency (we created new currency code u2013TILS). We maintained conversion factor of 1:1000 and translation rate 1:1. The client insist the figures in Group currency will be without digits , for example LC u2013 100,569 will become 101 after translation and not 100.569.
I was able to reach the results by defining no decimal places for TILS currency code.
I searched the forum before opening my thread. I saw Eugene wrote they built translation method with a lot of steps per each item. I defined translation method with 1 step only u2013 all items are translated cumulatively by end of day/month (M) rate. Translation difference item is P&L item XXX. Rounding method I use is a method that uses 3 steps (1 BS is rounded to clearing item of RE in BS, 2- P&L is rounded to clearing item of RE in P&L, 3 clearing item of RE in BS= clearing item of RE in P&L and rounded to clearing item of RE in P&L).
The problem is that we discovered that sometimes it can happen that Cons PC clearing item is out of balance because of rounding differences (instead of P&L item XXX rounding differences go to Cons PC clearing item).
Does anyone have some experience of how to deal with rounding differences in BCS and under the following conditions:
1.Total Cons PC clearing item must be equal to zero in each value (LC and GC)
2. clearing item of RE in BS= clearing item of RE in P&L
Thank you,
Lilia
Edited by: Lilia on May 29, 2010 1:54 PM

Hi Eugeny,
Of course we use a matrix structure, otherwise the Cons PC item won't be relevant.
For example, company 1000 is defined with Cons PC 100,200 and 300 in matrix.
I upload figures to BCS as follows:
Company Cons PC Item Value in LC
1000          100        111   -12,356
1000          200         222   -10,300
1000          300        333    22,656
123 - clearing item for Cons PC
After RE the figures look like these: (each Cons PC is balanced by clearing PC item)
Company Cons PC Item Value in LC
1000          100        111   -12,356
1000          200         222   -10,300
1000          300        333    22,656
1000          100        123    12,356
1000          200        123    10,300
1000          300        123    -22,356
After translation (only devide by 1000) and the group currency is without decimal places, the figures are:
Company Cons PC Item Value in LC Value in GC
1000          100        111   -12,356       -12
1000          200         222   -10,300      -10
1000          300        333    22,656         23
1000          100        123    12,356        12
1000          200        123    10,300         10
1000          300        123    -22,356       -23
Total of item 123 in GC is -1. This item must be always zero. This is the problem.
