Model multiple key figures of BI cube to BPC

Hi Experts,Probably a good way of having multiple Key figure values from BI to BPC is to convert it into a account based model (create a dimension and have the key figures as dimension members).I have this scenraio where we are using COPA (costing based) for BPC mgmt consol.This costing based COPA cube in BI has around 120 Key figures.Pls advice on the best way to medel this scnerio in BPC where i would probably need most of those Kf's.I am also looking at how i could reduce separate transformation files/mappings from BI to BPC also on the same..
Many thanks

Hi ,
Thank you Pravin and Ajay for your valuable suggestions and time.what i would like to clarify is on the transformations.Let us say i have my BI cube as costing based itself and this i need to map to BPC dimension.
BI structure- char1 ,char 2,char 3 ,KF1(value field 1),KF2(value field 2),KF3(valuefield3),KF4....
In BPC ,lets say we have a separate dimension (i guess this should be of account type or probably user defined one) which would have dimension members as KF1,KF2,KF3,KF4....
Now how would i do the mapping/transformations from BI to BPC? would i need to have 4different transformation files (assuming i have 4 KF's in my BI cube) for each KF & char combination and thus to load data also many times.
How to achieve modelling side of this situation.any suggestions on this would be greatly appreciated.
many thanks

Multiple Key Figures and SINGEDATA

Hi Experts,
There are different Key Figures in BI like Amount, Quantity, Number, Integer, Date, Time, and the associated Unit. Whereas, in BPC there is only one type of object is used for recording quantitative values for transaction in BPC, that is SINGEDDATA. This object is equivalent to a Key Figure in SAP NetWeaver BI. So, while extracting data from BI to BPC, there are multiple Key Figures in BI, then how to take these multiple Key Figures in BPC? Do we need to take multiple SINGEDDATA?
Appreciate your help.
Thanks

Hello Qakbar -
The typical practice is to map each BW key figure to a combination of SIGNDATA and another dimension, such as ACCOUNT (or any combination of one or more dimensions). BPC is a true account based data model (only one key figure).
You can use BW transformations along with Rule Groups to define how each multiple key figure based BW record can be broken into separate single key figure records. These records can be stored in a BW staging cube for easy import into BPC upon demand.
Alternatively, you could use the BPC transformation command, MVAL, to allow loading of multiple Keyfigure BW records directly into BPC.

250 Key figures in one cube?

Hello,
we need to report on 250 key figures at the same time. I now there is a limitation in the cube of 233 KF, any ideas to solve this problem? What about using an ODS for the reporting, are there any performance issues or do you have experiences with this amount of KF in one infoprovider?
Many thx
René

I think you should reaccess your data model and see if the no of key figures can be reduced. 233 is the max allowed by SAP. You can partyly solve this problem by creating 2 cubes with the same characteristics and splitting the key figures. This solution will work only when you have mutually exclusive key figures requirement in the report.
Also you can use the Restricted key figures and calculated key figures in the reports thereby reducin the actual key figures in the cube to be within the limit.
Hope this helps.

Combine multiple key figures in single key figure

Hi,
We have a requirement where we need to put multiple key figures into a single key figure
For example source DSO is as follows (+ Unit object):
Region    |   Date           |    Amount |    Quantity
Asia        | 01-01-2008 |    100        |    1000
Eurpoe    | 02-02-2008 |     200       |     2000
In Target DSO / Cube, the data must appear like this (no Unit Object)
Region    |   Date            | Type        |    Value
Asia       |   01-01-2008   |   Amount   |    100
Asia       |   01-01-2008   |   Quantity |    1000
Eurpoe   |   02-02-2008   |   Amount   |     200
Eurpoe   |   02-02-2008   |   Quantity |     2000
How do we achieve this?
Regards,
Nikhil

Hi
Write a strart routine that maps Type ->Amount and Quantity,Value -> Kf of Amount or Quantity
Put these chars into Key fields in target DSO = Region | Date | Type ,that will assure unique entries
Bye

Time Buckets with multiple Key Figures in Each

Hello Experts,
I have seen documents creation of ageing buckets and calculations but not seen any document with ageing bucket having multiple Key Figures part of it.
User's have used Excel to create Bucket header and using V and H lookups they are populating data in to those columns. Is there a way we can achieve this in Bex Designer? Below is what needed on report which would give user's overview of Current Week, Previous Week, Last 4 weeks and Last 13 weeks. I have attached Snapshot for better Understanding
From Excel--->
Target
Current Week
Last 4 Weeks
Utilization
Billable
Non-billable
Non Work
Utilization
Billable
Non-billable
Non Work
Utilization

Thanks
Sam

Hi Sam
If week is your time period analysis then create a structure in columns, above your key figures, based on week selections variable.
pic example
I don't think that you will find such a document.

Key Figure value in Cube showing with extra zeros

Loaded data into the cube. When I display the result
Key figure values are showing with 2 extra zeroes and Quantity value shaowing with 3 extra zeroes.
Original value
Price, Quantity, Sales Rev
2     1     2
3     2     6
When display value from cube
Price, Quantity, Sales Rev
2,00     1,000     2,00
3,00     2,000     6,00
Why zero is showing? How can I display the original value? In PSA, values are showing correctly.
Thanks,

Hi,
These are the zeroes after the decimal places. this is the property of the key figure.
In your report you can change the display value. In the display properties of the Key figure under the number of decimal places make it as 0. This will remove the zeroes.
Hope it helps.

Gaurav

Adding a new key figure to Info Cube

Can I add a new key figure to an existing Info cube in which data is loaded?
Assume that In Info Cube we have the following.
Stu Id -- Characteristic
Maths , Physics , Chemistry -- Key figures
These are the info objects which are already available and transfer rules are already available for the same in the infosource.
Could any one let me know how to add one more new key figure (total ) , which is the sum of the three marks to the Info Cube and populate the data in to the same.
I have tried the following steps , but could not get the solution.
1). Create a new key figure info object (total).
2). Add the same to the communication and pull the same into transfer rules of the existing info source and activate the same.
3). Add the new key figure to the info cube.
4). Open transfer rules for the info cube and change the mode from NO updation to Addition for the particular key figure (total).
When I perform the 4th step it is giving a red symbol beside the key figure in update rules and I'm not able to activate the same.
Any help on how to add key figures to update rules and transfer rules is highly appreciated and points would be assigned.
Thanks

1.add new Keyfigure to Infocube.
2.Go to Update rules> go to update type of that Keyfigure>selct formula in update method>create new formula>here you can add up your 3 keyfigures-->OK.
activate update rules and InfoProvider.Check all are active or not..
by using Export generate datasouce ,you populate data(historical data) to new keyfigure as well.Then you have to delete historical data requests.
or iyou can create formula in query designer as well as srinivas suggested.that would be better option.

Key figure in COPA cube

Hi,
In COPA cube, there is Revenue, sales tax key figures. They are transferred from R/3 with the local currency and operating concern currency. In some of my billing document, the document currency is differnt from them. How to transfer the revenue, sales tax etc to BW also with the document currency.
Many Thanks
Jean

Thanks for you reply.
Actually I solved the problem now. It is actually the Key figure that wasn't added to the Key figure list at the Perameter level. But it was in planning level.
So I added it and it worked well

Populating the key figure in the Cube

hi frineds,
I need to populated the custom key fiugre added by me in the cube using the update rule. But if i see the tables of the cube it is seperate for every dimension and key figure. how can i select the particular record from the key figure table with out the reference of the dimensions table.
Thanks
Prem

so you want to
1. read particular record from cube
2. populate the amount there.
but populating the amount directly to infocube is not advisable and not feasible as well.
my suggestion will be virtual infoprov based on transformation
you will have to write your logic there and you can populate the amount based on billing number (you said you have amount against billing number).
at query runtime based on transformation/logic your amount will be populated.
only drawback reduced query performance

Why do we see only values of key figures of a cube in SE11?

Hi all,
When we view the contents of a cube in SE11 why cant we view the characteristics also? Why are only the values of key figures visible to us? Is there any way wherein we can also view the whole contents of the cube i.e. both the characteristics and the key figures?
Please explain.
Thank you.
TR.

SE11 gives you the Table View.
A Infocube is a complex strructure where data is stored in mutiple Tables...
KEy Figure Values in Central Fact Table...Characteristic SIDs in the DIM Table and these SIDs linked to the Master data table values.
So, to be able to read the values , you would need to know how data is organised in an Infocube

How to choose the characteristics and key figures for a cube

Hi Gurus,
To create a CO-PA cube, based on a DataSource, what chars and kfs should I select from std objects? I have the list of fields from the datasource, but how to interpret what infoobject/s are relevant for each io?

To create a CO-PA cube, based on a DataSource, what chars and kfs should I select from std objects? I have the list of fields from the datasource, but how to interpret what infoobject/s are relevant for each io?
Hi,
For CO-PA since it is a generated DataSource, except for the common characteristics ( E.g. Company Code, Controlling Area ) where you get standard InfoObjects for all other Characteristics and Key Figures you end up creating custom or Z characteristics and key figures. This is unavoidable.
Assigning points is the only way of saying thanks in SDN

Multiple Key figure in a single column of a query

Hi,
Is it possible to use muliple key figure like Amount and Qty field together in a column of a query?
Please advise,
Best Regards,
UR

Hi,
You will be able to do it with the help of cell definitions.
Say,you have a structure in Rows :
A
B
For A ..in corresponding column cell,use cell definition with KF1
For B.....in corresponding column cell,use cell definition with KF2
this way,you will be able to see both in one column
I m not sure how much it is relavant to your requirement.But this is one way of gettin it

Order of update rules execution of multiple key figures

Can anyone explain the order in which update rules execute if I have 10 key figures and defined one update routine for each key figure?

Hello GKR
This is applicable for yupdate rule as well as transfer rule
start routine executes first ( update rule/transfer routine)
In update rule the rule which u have defined first, executes first...same in transfer rule..the rule which u define first in transfer rule window executes first...
Thanks
