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.

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

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
savvvy

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

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
Billable
Non-billable
Non Work
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.
Thank you

What is diffrernce between key figures and characteristics?

Hi all,
I am a newbie to SAP BI....i am doing Masters in ERP(SAP)....I have confusion about what is basic difference between key figures and characteristics?
Why do we have to define attributes in characteristics?
If any one can refer me a thread that answers my questions or explain with very lucid example I will highly appreciate it.....please answer this question as I have just spend 4-5 months studying BI and have not really implemented in the Industry but we do have access to SAP BI where we perform tutorials....
Also please let me know the links to materials where basics of BI are explained in a very simple way.....
Thanks,

KF is anything which can quantitatively measured: Amount, Number, Value, Price... whatever you want to measure is called Key Figure. This key figures are also called KPI (Key Performance Indicator). If you want to know the number of sales orders, the number of deliveries, the amount of deliveries... all are key figures
And to add to that, key figures are also divided into two:
Cumulative KF: Like I said, amount, value, price
Non-cumulative KF, this is different kind of key figures which shouldn't be summed up, for example: Age, Inventory, Number of Employees. When you measure this key figures, you don't add the age of every body, because that doesn't make any sense, but adding the sum of all deliveries, or adding all Sales does make sense, that is the difference between the two key figures.
Characteristics: are anything which couldn't be quantitatively measured: material, customer, plant, employee ID and so on...
Aways, in BI you measure the KF against the Key figures..
thanks.

Cumulative key figure and non cumulative key figure

Hi BW Expertz
Could any one give me the clarification about cumulative and non cumulative key figures .Why we go for cumulative key figure and non cumulative key figure.If any docs could u just mail to the following [email protected]
Thanx In advance
Best regards
sankar prasad

Cumulative values are those key figures (KF) that are cumulated using all characteristics, thus also using time.
Ex: Sales revenue, Quantity....
Non-cumulative values are those key figures that are measured in relation to a period in time; they cannot be meaningfully cumulated over time. Non-cumulative values are summarized over time using so called exception aggregation.
Ex: Number of employees, Inventory, Stock prices, Account balance,.....
AGGREGATION TAB
Non cumulatives are evaluated by non-cummulative values. Non-cummulative values are special key figures that are different from other key figures (cummulative values) in data transfers and saving as well as in aggregational behaviour. These are measured in relation to a period in time; that is to say, they cannot be meaningfully cumulated over time. Non-cumulative value are summaraized over-time using exception aggregation.
Non-cumulative values such as 'number of employess' are cumulated using characteristics such as 'cost center'. It does not make any sense, however, to cumulate the number of employees using different periods. The result at the end of any particular period would be the sum total of number of employees for each posting during the period. This would of course be wrong.
Instead, the aggregation of the KF can be defined as exception aggregation wherein an additional references characteristics is utilized to tell BW which value to use during the period, in this case, 0CALMONTH is used, in the above example, to indicate that only the last value of 0HEADCOUNT, updated by costcenter, is to be taken for any calender year and month.
Cummulative vs Non-Cumulatives
The purpose of non-cumulatives is to optimize the data transfer in BW, the data retention and the database access. The data transfer from OLTP to BW is minimized and only the meaningful data is saved and processed.
It is recommended that you use non-cumulative values for areas that dont change frequently such as warehouse stock or number of employees.
Non-cumulatives are modeled in BW using a non-cumulative value with the fields belonging to it for storing the non-cumulative or for inflows or outflows.
Non-cumulative values are stored with special KF that differ in terms of data transfers and aggregational behaviour.
Features of NON-Cumulative Values Transfering and Saving Data:
- NC values are mapped uisng one KF for NC changes or two KF for inflows and outflows.
-NC are transferred in an initialization run and the change runs that follow (initialization can also be omitted here)
- A non-cumulative value always has a time-related exception aggegation.

Definition of Non cumulative Key figure and web template

Hi all,
Can anyone define a Non cumulative Key figure and a web template.
Thanks in advance.

A non-cumulative is a non-aggregating key figure on the level of one or more objects that is always displayed in relation to time.Examples of non-cumulatives include headcount, account balance and material inventory.If the non-cumulatives change infrequently, you should choose non-cumulative management with non-cumulative key figures.

How to use a object for both key figure and as a charcteristc

Dear all,
we have a requirement where in we have to use Version Field as a key figure and as well as a charecteristc.
Regards
venu

Dear Mayank Gupta
Thxs for ur reply
We are creating a EBIDTA Report which is already developed in R/3 and these result will be stored in Z table.
we have created a DSO which will store this Z table data.
Now the req is we have a created a field called ZVersion which is there in the Key fields of DSO. ok
But in report we want to use the condition TOP1 on the version. as the version is a not a key figure we cant create the Conditon on the characteristc.
If we use version as a key figure then the records are summurised in DSO as u have to insert it in Data Field.
we want to use version as a primary key.
so how to go abt it?
regards.

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...

Restricted Key Figure and : Change Variable in WAD

Hi everybody,
I have a restricted key figure in my query, which is restricting all sales volumes of a product by time variable.
I am using this restricted key figure instead of a real filter on the whole query because I have to view the total volume of this product and the volume in this year.
This works very well, but I have no possibility to change the value of the time variable in the restricted key figure in WAD by a generic navigation block.
How can i do this?
Thanks,
Alex

Hi...
The Web item Generic Navigation Block displays the navigational state of a query view in the Web application in the form of a table. All characteristics and structures in the query view are listed in the table and their filter values are displayed. You can change the navigational status of the query view. You can filter according to single values and remove the filter again.
You want to see the results in tabular form and to be able to navigate
through those results using key figures and characteristics.
1. From the Start menu, open the Web Application Designer and start the Web
Application Wizard
a) Choose Start → Programs → Business Explorer → Web Application
Designer → Tools → Wizard.
Choose Next to skip the start page.
2. Select the Generic Navigation Block item and accept the default settings for
this item.
a) In the Select Web Item dialog box, choose Standard Items → Generic
Navigation Block, then select Next to transfer the item into your Web
template.
3. Assign the query Customers/Sales as a Data Provider
to the Generic Navigation Block web item. After assigning the Data Provider,
accept the default values for the item attributes.
a) Choose Query.
b) The Open Query / View dialog box appears.
From the Roles, select the query for Reporting→ Unit: BEx
Web Application Designer → Lesson: BEx Web Application Wizard →
Exercise → Customers/Sales .
Choose OK. The dialog box closes and you return to the Web application
Wizard. Choose Next to reach the Edit Attributes dialog box. Since you
want to accept the default properties of the item, choose Next.
c) In the Overview dialog box, you see all the items you have selected so far.
Add the Table Web item to your Web template and accept the suggested settings
for this item.
a) In the Overview dialog box, choose Add Item to add an additional item to
your Web template. In the Select Web Item dialog box, select Standard
Item → Table.
Choose Next in order to transfer the item into your Web template.
5. Assign the same Data Provider to this item as you did for the Navigation Block.
Accept all the default settings for this item. Arrange the Web template to have
the Generic Navigation Block before the Table.
a) Both items in the Web template use the same Data Provider. Therefore, you
can use the same entries for this item. Choose Next.
b) Leave the properties of the table item unchanged. Skip over the Edit
Attributes dialog box by choosing Next.
c) Both Web items now appear in the Overview dialog box. Change the
sequence of the two web items so that the Web template starts with the
Generic Navigation Block. Use the up and down arrow icons to move your
web items. Choose Next.
6. Save the Web template.
a) You do not have to make any entries in the Save Web Template dialog box.
Choose Save to save your Web template.
Save the newly-created Web template in your Favorites.
give Description: ..................
give Technical name: ...........
7. Display the Web template in the browser.
a) Choose Display theWeb template in theWeb browser .
8. Exit the Web Application Wizard.
a) Choose Exit. The Wizard window closes and the Web template is opened
in the Web Application Designer where you can make additional edits
as required.

Diff between Calculated key figure and new formula 6extra functions why

Hi Friends
In BEx query designer we have Restricted key figure & Calculated key figure. In the case of Ristricted Key figure And new selection the difference is Global and local.
But if we come to Calculated Key figure and New Formula the difference is same global and local. But in New formula we have 6 extra function. My question is does is there any certain reason for this or SAP AG not be able to develop those functions
Thganks & Regards
Bramhanand

Hi Surendra thank you for your reply.
But i am not asking difference between calculated key figure and New formula.
What i am asking is in the case of Restricted Key figure And new selection the difference is Global and local.
But in Calculated Key figure and New Formula the difference is same global and local and in New formula we have 6 extra function. My question is does is there any certain reason for this.Why not SAP AG is not included the new formula functions in Calculated key figure.
Thanks & Regards

Restricted & Calculated Key figures and Structures

Hello Gurus,
I'm using a BW Query to create my universe and all I see is a class called Key Figures and few objects. I don't see my restricted and Calculated Key figures.
Also I want to understand how are the Structures in BW Query brought into Universe? All I see is a column class and row class with corresponding objects in it.
Environment: BO XI 3.1
Appreciate your help.

Vijay

Hi Ingo,
Sorry for getting back a little late on this issue. I've been trying to fix other issues. I'm creating my report out of BW Query and I'm not able to see all the Restricted Key Figures. Also when I try to create my report out of existing key figures and verify the data with BW analyzer the data seems to be different.
What happens is in my universe I've two classes naming Rows_xyz, Column_abc etc and there are like 25 objects in Rows_xyz when there are supposed to be like 60 key figures and in Column class I have a single object. When I pull in this coulmn obect and pull like 3-4 key figures (which I made sure have data from BW Query Analyzer) doesn't return any data. It doesn't even throw an error as No data to fetch.
I took the MDX Query that is generated by this report and ran it on the backend and see that there is no data even there. But from the BW Query Analyzer I can see data for this Column and the key figures that I pulled in the report.
Thank you for your help
Vijay

New Key figures and Macro updates

Hi,
Is there a way to ensure that a change in the data view design by adding additional key figures and changing the positions of the key figures/macros DOES NOT result in changes in Macros already present. This seems a little ridiculuous when i compare this to spreahseet functions, where only fixed references in the cells are impacted by changes in rows and columns, adding columns and deleting rows etc, else the formulas/macros in excel adjust automatically. The Macros in my planning are adjusted and deactivated after inserting some more key figures and shuffling some up and down to organize the book for some new functionalities. Is there a report/technique to reset the macros so that they work as intended with proper references as defined.
Regards,
AS

Hi
As Somnath says this is unfortunately the "normal" behaviour of the system. The macro workbench basically allocates a number to each key figure internally, so if new key figures are introduced, or even if you change the order of key figures in the data view, then this can affect the macro functionality.
As long as the new key figure is introduced and placed at the end of the list in the data view then this will not normally affect the macro, it just needs re-activating.
I find it frustrating when I have to re-order key figures in a data view then I have to check all macros are still working correctly and that the key figures used in the macro are the correct ones but unfortunately SAP will just say "as designed"!!
Regards
Ian

Selection Key Figures and Key Figures

I am building a query and I need to combine Key Figures and Selected Key Figures so that they appear on the same row. However, when I try to do this I get a message that you cannot put the elements in the same structure. However, if I put in different structures they will not be aligned. How can I overcome? Thanks

if i undertd your issue correctly..u have one KF struxture and one characteristic structure.In characteristic structure,u r having restricted characteristics and u r tyring to have a KF in char structure???if so,it is not possible..where exactly u r getting error?it will not allow you to drag and drop Kefigure into Query deisgner except into KF structure..
in char structure,if u r gng with new selection,u will not have option to select any KFs.
it could be better if u provide an example rather than explaining theoritically.
please note that u cant have a KF in characteristic structure .u can have a char in KF strcucture with a KF combination i.e. Restricted KF.
