Milestone Duration in BAM indicating negative values

Hi All,
We happen to install BAM feature of BizTalk in our current project which has turned out to be the key source of information to all our clients and stakeholders. They have been tracking all the necessary KPI's on a daily basis. So far things have been pretty
straight and smoothly running but while observing the duration of the responses on BAM (the duration is set in the activity model tracking the difference in start & end time), we happen to see negative values. We see values like -1.92 sec, -2.55 sec which
will look ridiculous to all our stakeholders. We have been trying to trace as to why such values are appearing in BAM.
To give a background, we have two application nodes and a single database connection in cluster. We have used BAM API to track the necessary fields & details. We have used Duration which is set in the BAM activity model for specific product. We
earlier felt probably both application nodes may not be in sync with respect to system timestamp, but that is not the case and in either way seems to not be related. Please let us know if anyone has faced such issue on observing negative values of duration
on BAM portal.

The process milestone is set correctly i.e the start process one is set earlier to end process milestone . The negative values are appearing for few entries and it occurs intermittently during the day. For example if I collect around 100 entries for the
entire day for a specific activity , 3% of them will have duration set to negative values.
Like this there are around 5 activities deployed in our live environment and all of them have intermittent occurrences of negative value of time taken in the report.
This is really puzzling for us to understand how this comes up , yet we are even looking at the approaches suggested by others.

Conditions type of category "Delivery Costs"(B) donu00B4t allow negative values

Hello,
I would like to know if it is possible to munipulate a condition type with category "B" Delivery costs in such a way that it allows a negative entry in the Purchase Order.
Estandard SAP does not allow it. Message: 06259 "Negative Delivery costs are not allowed".
If the above is not possible, can anyone tell me how a can manipulate a Discount (fixed amount) in such a way that it not only points at a particlar account (accruels indicator does this job) upon MIGO, but also apears as a line-item upon receiving the invoice (MIRO). As far as I know, only Planned delivery costs can do this job. But they do not allow negative values!
If anyone has encountered a similar task, please tell me how they solved it.
Thanks,
Aart

Hello Guys,
The scenario isas follows.
When one buys fuel, in Chile one has to pay fuel especific Taxes.
Version especific config does not resolve this because we need the tax in amount (value) not in percentage.
In our system we resolved this by creating a material "Fuel especific Taxes" which points at a tax-account with a special tax-indicator.
So far so good.
Now the government implemented a second fuel tax - "Fuel tax variable" which we might resolve in the same way, but the problem is this tax might be negative(!).
We cannot create a material with a "negative value" in our Purchase Order and discount conditions have inmediate efect on the material costs in the PO.
The ideal would be incorporate a condition type in the PO which upon invoicing (MIRO) shows up with the tax account (and a possible negative value!
The model we have developed upto now is using the tabpage "GeneralAccount" in the MIRO but in this model we have to indicate the account ourselves. The system does not propose it.
Thats why I thought of the "Planned Delivery costs" option.
Hope this clarifies a bit more the case we have.
Thanks for any feedback

Negative values in inventory

Hi All,
I'm negative values in inventory,what all i did is,
1) At BI side i loaded data for BX and compressed the request with out selecting the NO MARKER UPDATE
2) After loading BF i compressed the request with selecting the NO MARKER UPDATE
3) Then i unchecked the NO MARKER UPDATE.
Now only first two requests are compressed, is it ok? how about delta loads of BF?
Kindly help me solving the issue,is the above steps are right? if so why im getting negative values?
Regards,
Yunus

Hi Yunus,
BX is used to initialize the stock not for the historical movements.
Initialize the stock is mandatory after that anyway you need the delta movements to be happened so BF is also required, if you don't want to load historical movements then you load only Delta loads but for both of them BF is the data source.

For movements of the material price you use 0processkey,
Transaction key 51
Revaluation through a material price change (for example, with transaction MR21) and the debit/credit indicator = DEBIT.
like that there are some keys 52, 151 and 152

ICR Upload negative values over Upload File

Dear Experts (or in most cases Dear Ralph ; ),
Ich have a question concerning the Upload File which makes it possible in ICR to upload datas via an Excel/TXT Interface.
My Question is how can I upload negative values?
Because when I upload a value like "-100" the value in ICR will be converted to "100", so a positive amount.
So how can I explain the system that the value in the txt-file should be uploaded as an negative value?
Should I control it over the debits/credits indicator?
Or should the minus stand at the back of the values?
Thanks in advance for any helpful answer
Regards
Thomas

Hi,
If I am not wrong it will be through debit credit indicator (SHKZG: S for positive and H for negative)

Negative values in Reporting Point Overview

Hi
I have recently started working for a client that implemented SAP a while back. They are doing repetitive manufacturing. When I run the "Reporting Point Overview" evaluation it reports negative values for some operations. In what circumstances would this happen?
(One thing the client has done is delete planned orders after entering some consumption. Could this be the cause of the negative values? If so, what is the logic that makes this happen?)

Seems that you should have done a compression with marker update (indicator "no marker update" should not be set).
The "No marker update" is only used in cases where you load an opening balance with the 2LIS_03_BX.

Deltas fetching negative values

*hii,this is regarding deltas fetching negative values,where as when i use full load data is matching perfectly but when when coming to deltas it is picking negative value bcoz of cancel indicator X it is showing negative value, so the data is mismatching.
this is based on pp cube (production planning)
for eg:                       cancelindicator orderno   conformqty         targetqty
                                                             205674                  100             100*
                                           X                 205674              - 50              -100

hi thanks for ur reply
datasource is 2lis_04_p_arbpl
if we take any document we will get cancel indicator i.e space and X . In space indicator we r getting correct data and data is matching in r/3 but X indicator gives negative values so if we aggregate them we r getting wrong data and it is getting zero.
it is happening in deltas only not for full load if we take full load the data is correctly matching but in deltas it is getting wrong values
if we delete set up tables and we load data then it is getting correct data up to that date but from next day onwards deltas are getting negative values and data is not matching

MC.9 - Negative value

Hi Sapians,
While running MC.9 report we are getting negative value for a particular stock even when there is a positive stock. But in MB5B we are getting the correct output.
By debugging we found that there is a negative value in S032 table. But we could not understand how we got negative value in S032.
Could any one through some light on where it could went wrong?
Thanks,
Sukumaran.E

Hi Sukumaran,
Negative stocks in your case is due to inconsistencies in the Info structure tables.
The report from MC.9 is calculated on runtime, taking the current stock position from stock database tables and adjusting the goods receipts and issues backwards. The goods movement data are from the info-structure tables. If there are inconsistencies in this data, you get negative stock figures or different figures compared to MB5B report. (MB5B runs the same way but uses MSEG table instead of ifo structure tables). This explanation is for understanding the cause of the problem.
The remedy is, updating the info structure table. This update is for correcting the data in info-structure tables. You can delete the entries in these tables and re-build them. It has to be done during a period when there are no material movement postings happening - like after office hours or holidays.
You can refer to SAP note 79083 for detailed step by step procedure for updating info structure tables.
Hope you are able to correct the inconsistencies!!
Best Regards,
Siva

Stock Posting List - Negative Value when Different Currency in PO

Hi experts,
We would like your help on the following scenario.
A Purchase Goods Receipt PO and a Purchase Invoice are added in SAP 9.0, on the same date, in a different currency from the system's currency; system's is Euro and Purchase documents are added in JPY (Japanese xen), i.e. 300 JPY. When checking the "Stock Posting List" report for a number of goods that were purchased with the above documents, the report presents the line of the Goods Receipt PO with the value of 270 JPY, and the line of the Purchase Invoice with a negative value, i.e.-15 Euro.
Has anyone faced the same issue?
Thank you in advance.
Kind Regards,
Vassilis Korolis

Both queries have the default value of "Only Posted Values for Navigation".
As I was looking at this, I did realize the following though.
Remember, I mentioned that my zcurrency_mand field has a Reference Characteristic of 0currency.
Query 1: The key figure that is being converted is tied to 0currency in the back end. (this is the query that works).
Query 2: The key figure that is being converted is tied to 0inv_curr in the back end.
Both of the currency conversions are using zcurrency_mand. Should query 2 be using a new variable similar to zcurrency_mand, but with a Reference Characteristic of 0inv_curr?
If the answer is yes, I tried creating ZINV_CURR_MAND with Reference Characteristic of 0inv_curr, but am getting the following error when I try to save the changes to Query 2
[E117(BRAIN)] Errors: Variable ZINV_CURR_MAND2 is not permitted for the target currency.

How to enter negative value in a currency field

Hi Experts,
Please help me how to allow to enter negative value in a field on report selection.
I created a currency field on a report selection using PARAMETERS.
I can enter positive value in the field. But, I cannot enter negative value.
SAP shows an error message 00 126 "Specify positive values only".
I know I can place check ON at "with sign" option of the field in case I create the screen by myself.
However, I cannot do it on screen 1000 created by report program.
Thanks,
George

Hi ,
I know I can place check ON at "with sign" option of the field in case I create the screen by myself.

Apex 3.2 SVG Chart - How to plot Stacked Bar With Negative Values ?

Currently Apex 3.2 Flash Chart (AnyChart 3.x) does not support Stacked bars with negative values.
I try with SVG Stacked bars with positive values only, chart ploting works fine. When I add a new series with negative values (i.e -1) and I get a blank Chart region with no error.
Based on this statement from Apex's documentation:
*"AxisLine Indicates zero on charts that have negative values."*
I appreciate your help on how to translate this statement into action ?
(i.e how to override .Axisline class in CSS section ?)
Thank you very much for your time.

User614143,
try to add the minumm negative value (but positive) to the parameter for the axis.
e.g. show value+3000 (assuming -3000 is the minimum value)
If you don't have a limitation for the negative values, it doesn't work. (or try to calculate first the most negative value in a before header process)
hope this helps.

Runtime error while putting negative value in to table control field

Hi Guys,
              I am working on a Table Control which has Currency
and quantity fields.In PBO when the program is trying put a
negative value then It is going into a runtime error.
The Error description is,
Runtime errors         DYNPRO_FIELD_CONVERSION
                                                                                Error analysis
The program flow was interrupted and could not be resumed.
Program "SAPMZDBPRJCTEDFIG" tried to display fields on screen 0100. However, an
error occurred while this data was being converted.
How to correct the error
A conversion error occurred while the program was trying to   display data on the screen.
The ABAP output field and the screen field may not have the   same format.
Some field types require more characters on the screen than
in the ABAP program. For example, a date field on a screen needs
two characters more than it would in the program. When attempting to
display the date on the screen, an error will occur that triggers the
error message.
Screen name.............. "SAPMZDBPRJCTEDFIG"
              Screen number............ 0100
              Screen field............. "ZDB_PROJCTD_FIG-ZWORKDONE"
              Error text............... "FX015: Sign lost."                                 Further data:
I have tried increase the screen field length to more than the ABAP program field length and the scrren field name is of data type which supports signed value.
But still I am getting the error.the error is 'Sign is lost'.
I would appreaciate if you can help me with this.
Correct answer will be rewarded.
Thank you in advance,

Service PO Creation With Negative value

Hi all,
I am trying to create a Services PO using the BAPI 'BAPI_PO_CREATE1'
In my scenario, First time PO will create with negative value.
Then I will remove some conditions in Services line.
Then PO value will becomes positive.
When i create the bapi in ME21N, its working fine. Net values of PO become negative.
But When I try the same using the BAPI, net price of the PO stored as 0(ZERO).
If I create a PO with positive value using the same BAPI, everything is fine.
If I change the PO after creation(removing the service line to make bapi value as positive), Net values are doubled since value stored as zero instead of negative value.
Kindly help me to get out of this issue.
Note: I need to create a Services PO with negative value using the BAPI
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
No need to create service PO with negative quantity!
If payment not done for your servicePO, you can cancel invoice document and then revoke SES.
If any other process involved you can do subsequent debit or subsequent credit for your service PO in t.code:MIRO.

Inventory Management Negative Values

Hello Experts -
I'm working on an inventory management report and we're in BI 7.0.
In the report, the valuated stock quantity is a non-cumulative key figure with inflow as receipt stock qty and outflow as issue stock qty.
In my transformation, I'm taking care of the process keys and multiplying by -1 when the keys are 100, 101, 104, 105, 106, 110. I'm doing that for qty as well as for $ figures.
But when I look into valuated stock qty in my report, I'm seeing negative values for movement type 602 which is a return. Earlier this was a positive value.
For movement type 601 which is a sales, I'm seeing positive values which used to be a negative value.
Basically, the figures got reversed even though I'm multiplying by -1 only on one set of process keys such as 100, 101, 104, 105, 106, 110.
Is it ok to have negative figures when dealing with movement types?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
As always, points will be granted.
Thanks!

Select returns negative values for unsigned datatypes in MySQL DB

Hi, I have a table in a MySQL database where some fields are declared as "unsigned".
Example:
CREATE TABLE countries (
Country_id SMALLINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
Number SMALLINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL
My problem is when inside a .xsql file, I try to do a select:
<xsql:query>
select Number from countries where Country_id="15"
</xsql:query>
If inside the Database, Number always goes from 0 to 65535 (UNSIGNED SMALLINT),
the resulting XML of that query will always show negative values if Number is
bigger than 32767 (so it ignores the "UNSIGNED").
Have you seen something like this before? Do you kwno what I'm doing wrong or what
can I do to retrieve the values unsigned?
Thanks a lot!

Using decode function without negative values

Hi friends
I am using oracle 11g
I have at doubt regarding the following.
create table Device(Did char(20),Dname char(20),Datetime char(40),Val char(20));
insert into Device values('1','ABC','06/13/2012 18:00','400');
insert into Device values('1','abc','06/13/2012 18:05','600');
insert into Device values('1','abc','06/13/2012 18:55','600');
insert into Device values('1','abc','06/13/2012 19:00','-32768');
insert into Device values('1','abc','06/13/2012 19:05','800');
insert into Device values('1','abc','06/13/2012 19:10','600');
insert into Device values('1','abc','06/13/2012 19:15','900');
insert into Device values('1','abc','06/13/2012 19:55','1100');
insert into Device values('1','abc','06/13/2012 20:00','-32768');
insert into Device values('1','abc','06/13/2012 20:05','-32768');
Like this I am inserting data into table for every 5 minutes Here i need the result like
output:
Dname 18:00 19:00 20:00
abc 400 -32768 -32768
to retrieve this result i am using decode function
SELECT Dname,
MAX(DECODE ( rn , 1,val )) h1,
MAX(DECODE ( rn , 2, val )) h2,
FROM
(SELECT Dname,Datetime,row_number() OVER
(partition by Dname order by datetime asc) rn FROM Device
where substr(datetime,15,2)='00' group by Dname.
According to above data expected result is
Dname 18:00 19:00 20:00
abc 400 600(or)800 1100
This means I dont want to display negative values instead of that values i want to show previous or next value.

Are you looking for something like this?

       datetime,
       val,
       lag(val) over (partition by upper(dname) order by datetime) prev_val,
       lead(val) over (partition by upper(dname) order by datetime) next_val,
       case when nvl(val,0)<0 and lag(val) over (partition by upper(dname) order by datetime) >0 then
         lag(val) over (partition by upper(dname) order by datetime)
       else
         lead(val) over (partition by upper(dname) order by datetime)
       end gt0_val
from device
order by datetime
where substr(datetime,15,2)='00';Please take a look at the result_column gt0_val.
