Multiprovider Scenario with unequal characteristics

Hi experts,
I have a tricky request which I would like to have your opinions on.
Our business department wants to combine information form different areas - so far nothing special, right?
Say we have
Cube A with Characteristics C1, and KF1
Cube B with Characteristics C1, C2 and KF2
Cube C with Characteristics C1, C3 and KF3
So their desired result would be:
C1 C2 C3 KF1 KF2 KF3
The result should now show any "#"' lines they would like to have it "on one line".
Obviously B does not have Char C2 and C3 so there needs to be "trick".
I thought about putting the three cubes into a multi provider. In the query I use constant selection for the KF´s 1-3 for Char C2 and C3.
When I did this the system did not suppress the # anymore. I found a note saying this is a "normal" behavior since I don´t have a leading KF for characteristic combination generation anymore.
Okay fine.. so I thought about excluding the "#" lines constantly.. but in Cube B not all C1-Combinations of the other cubes are contained - but they need to be display too.
So I guess I have a typical Left Outer Join scenario, am I right?
Now what can I do?
- Using Infoset? This would mean to include 13 DSOs.. not sure about the performance then. What do you think?
- Creating a new Infocube? Thats the least I would like to do....
Anyone any Idea????
Thanks a lot in advance.
Oliver

Hi Akansha,
the sentence should be
"The result should not show any "#" lines - The business department would like to see it all on one line."
Please see the example above. Without constant selection I would have following result:
C1      C2         C3           KF1      KF2      KF3
123     #              #          100          -          -
123     CAR        #              -           1         -
123     #          BLUE          -            -        1000
124     #              #            50            -           -
124     BIKE        #            -          5                -
This is not what we would like to achive....
Thanks

Use of 0REFPER in multiprovider reporting with virtual provider in BCS

Hi all,
We're using the multiprovider reporting option in BCS 6.0 / BI7.
As you may know the data in the 'closed periods' provider is populated with closed requests, which need not necessarily be for individual periods (this is different to BCS 4/BW3.5)
As far as I understand from my discussion with the BI team, in the 'closed periods' provider each reference period is populated with ALL data for the year (so a January record appears in 0refper = 01,2008 and also 0refper = 02,2008, whereas a February record only appears in 0refper = 02,2008).
Reporting on a specific reference period will provide data relevant to the hierarchies effective at that reference period.
BUT when the virtual provider is taken in to account for March, surely the reference period is now 03,2008 - so how will the multiprovider choose any records from the 'closed periods' cube?
What I'm not sure about is how the BI report should be structured in terms of 0REFPER selection to ensure that the relevant closed period data is selected alongside the virtual provider data.
I haven't found anything in the help documentation, or the SDN forum - has anyone found a useful source of guidance from SAP?
If not, has anyone got experence of this?
(of course, points will be provided for all useful answers).

Thanks Dan,
I would caution about the use of 0refper for the multiprovider scenario.
Have you used the multiprovider scenario? There is good documentation from SAP on how to set it up but nothing on how the queries/reports should be built. When BCS generates the multiprovider and virtual provider, it adds in 0refper (and the others)
It is my understanding that the closed-period records are stored with cons group as opposed to those of the virtual infoprovider where cons group is only included for posting levels 02, 12, 22 and 30.
+ Thus if the organization/cons groups are changed, it could cause reporting issues unless the closed-period infoprovider is repopulated using the new or changed cons groups.+This was my understanding too, but the BI team are telling me it is NOT required in BCS 6 / BI7.
I will investigate further an post my analysis back here.
In the meantime if anyone else has experience of the multiprovider scenario reporting, espcially in BCS 6 / BI7. Then please do post your experiences here.

3rd Part Dropship Scenario with Sales BOM

Hi
We have a 3rd Party Dropshipment scenario with Sales BOM with susequent Debit
Characteristics of Sales BOM
Sales BOM is created
Header Material is Valuated but non-inventorised (Accounting and costing view should exist)
Component Material is Valuated and inventorised
In Sales order, Pricing is done at the header material not at the components level
During Billing we get the COGS for the header material (cost coming from VPRS)
No VPRS exist at component level instead we have copy of VPRS just to capture the value in COPA for our reporting
Process
1. Sales Order created with Sales BOM exploded in sales order.
2. At the Item level Purchase requisition is created.
3. PR for the components is converted to PO
4. Vendor Delivers the components to Customer.
5. Statistical GR done in our system.
6. Invoicing is done in MIRO
7. We directly do the Billing. Billing is created at header level. Revenue and COGS is reported at Header level only.
We are stuck when we are doing the Subsequent Debit (can be for any unplanned cost). For Susequent Debit we are not able to report differential COPA at header level.
Normally whenever you do subsequent debit in case of 3rd party dropship for normal material, COPA document automatically attached to Billing. This is happening because of the behaviour of VPRS condition type. In our case VPRS only exists at header level and not at component level but replenishment is for components. Subsequent debit is also happening at component level. We need it to be reported at header level.
We need some solution to this.
Please advise
Regards
Neeraj

Hi Raj,
Please clarified your requirement here, you mention that you wanted to valuated COGS at actual cost of PO? That sound more like actual costing here and what is the reason for this requirement?
Is this MTO with variant configuration?
If this is MTO with VC, Yes - we do cost Sales Order and here is the brief steps:-
Price Control S
a) Sales Order Creation - Normally when you save this will be costed and marked automatically. Note that condition type EK02 will represent the cost here
b) Run MRP based on Sales Order requirement which resulting planned orders, PR, etc
c) Convert PR-PO, Planned Order -> Production Order
d) Confirmations, GR on PO which valuated according to the SCE Costing in step a)
e) PGI will be based on the GR value on step d) which is also your SCE Costing
f) Any variance between PO and SCE need to be settle.

Creating a ODS key with 32 characteristics in BW 3.5

All,
We have to create a ODS key with 32 characteristics in BW 3.5. We are using an after image type delta capable extrator 0FI_GL_10. We have to do delta loads every 2 hours.
As you all know ODS allows only 16 key fields. In order to allow 32 keys, I have created an artificial key with 17 fields concatinating into one in the transfer rules.
The problem is still the data is not coming correctly (some records are still getting overwritten even with then new key) with the delta init load and the interesting thing is that the full load into the ODS is getting the data right.
In other words, a delta init load is getting 95680 records and where as full load is getting 99680 records.
Have anybody come accross such situation and what would be helpful to solve this issue?
Thanks,
- Shashi
null

I assume your CHAR 60 is enough to hold all the fields that you are concatenating.
Other problem with concatenate is that it strips the leading and trailing blanks.
So let us say you have two fields F1 (char 5) and F2 (char 3)
F1_________F2
A1_________03
A10________3
A12________22
Now, follow what happens with concatenate F1 and F2. Row 1 will result in value 'A103', row 2 will also result in 'A103' and row 3 would be 'A1222'.
So, even though combination of F1 and F2 was unique in these three rows, after concatenate we get only two unique values.
This is one possible explanation. The oher ofcourse is if total length of 17 fields is more than the 60bytes you have in key field.
To avoid this move your values with exact length (in the example above it will then be like)
Key(5) = F1.
Key+5(3) = F2.

Use a single variable value to compare with 2 characteristics

Hi guys
    I need some advice on how to use a single variable value to compare with 2 characteristics in a Infocube.
eg : I hv 2 characteristics in Infocube
       Launch date & Closing Date
   Now I want to display report where the variable date (inputted by user) is equal to Launch Date and Closing Date.
    with regards

Bobby,
if I right understood your situation, you have an input variable ZINPUT (related to a date 'A') and 2 others dates (yours Launch and Closing dates, 'B' and 'C').
You want to display only the rows where A(user input)=B=C.
Now you have to create 2 new variables (called ZB and ZC, related to B and C dates) NOT marked as 'ready for input' and set to 'mandatory variable entry'.
Call Transaction CMOD for the definition of the customer exit (if not already existing!).
Create a new project, maintain the short text, and assign a development class.
Goto Enhancements Assignments and assign RSR00001. Press the button components to continue.
Double-click on EXIT_SAPLRRS0_001. For documentation place the cursor on RSR00001 and use the menu Goto -> Display documentation.
Then double-click on ZXRSRU01. If the include doesnt exist you have to create it; assign a development class and a transport request.
Enter the coding:
DATA: L_S_RANGE TYPE RSR_S_RANGESID.
DATA: LOC_VAR_RANGE LIKE RRRANGEEXIT.
CASE I_VNAM.
WHEN 'ZB'.
(and you have to repeate the same code also for the variable 'ZC' !)
IF I_STEP = 2.
READ TABLE I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO LOC_VAR_RANGE
WITH KEY vnam = 'ZINPUT'.
if sy-subrc = 0.
L_S_RANGE-LOW = LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW.
endif.
L_S_RANGE-sign = 'I'.
L_S_RANGE-opt = 'EQ'.
append L_S_RANGE to e_t_range.
ENDIF.
ENDCASE.
Save and activate the coding and the project.
Now go to your query and use these two new variables to restrict B and C....et voilà !!!
Let me know if you need more help (and please assign points !!! be generous !!!)
Bye,
Roberto

File to RFC scenario with no BPM

I want to create File to RFC scenario with no BPM. I want to invoke RFC synchronously to verify that I'm getting correct response back, but i dont wanna process the response. So, In SXMB_MONI i can check the response back from RFC right? Or do I need to have BPM if want to see the response back from RFC?
What kind of business system i need to create for RFC? can i use same business system for both File and RFC? I'm using one Business System created on Third party technical system, which i'm using for file Input, also for RFC. Is that OK?
Thanks,
Deepesh

Hi,
I need to have BPM if want to see the response back from RFC? ... yes
The BPM will help you find the response very comfortable.
What kind of business system i need to create for RFC? can i use same business system for both File and RFC? I'm using one Business System created on Third party technical system, which i'm using for file Input, also for RFC. Is that OK? ..Yes you can .

File-Soap-File scenario with asynch - synch bridge

Hi,
I am new to PI and I'm trying to develop a FIle-SOAP-File scenario with asynch-synch bridge. These are the components in my integration builder:
Business Component to act as both the sender and receiver
1 outbound communication channel to pick up the file from ftp server
1 SOAP communication channel
1 inbound communication channel to write file to the ftp server
receiver determination
interface determination
sender agreement
receiver agreement
In my outbound channel, I am using:
Processing sequence:
1     AF_Modules/RequestResponseBean                Local Enterprise Bean     1
2     CallSapAdapter                                                         Local Enterprise Bean     2
3     AF_Modules/ResponseOnewayBean                Local Enterprise Bean     3
Module configuration:
1     passThrough                         true
3     receiverChannel                        inbound communication channel to write file to the ftp server
3     receiverService                         Business component where the channel above is found.
When I run the scenario, I am able to get the file from ftp server, map it to SOAP format according to the wsdl, forward the message to SOAP adapter, send it to web service, get the response back from web service, map the data to a regular file format. However, it fails to write back to the ftp server. I am getting Java null pointer error at AF_Modules/ResponseOnewayBean.

Thanks for the replies. I checked my module parameters and I realized that i entered the wrond business service. I fixed that and ensure that all 3 channels are running.

IDoc-to-File scenario with external Partner ... PCK necessary?

Hi all,
I have a question concerning to a IDoc-to-File Scenario with an external Partner. Here is a short Description of the Scenario:
The SAP ERP System creates an IDoc which should be send to the SAP Integration Server. The Integration Server respectively the IDoc-Adapter transform the IDoc in IDoc-XML. The Integration Server executes a Mapping and so on. In the final step the Integration Server should send the XML-File to a FTP Server in New York (external Partner) with the File/FTP-Adapter.
Have I to install the Partner Connectivity Kit at a Server in New York or is it working without the PCK? Which are my possibilities?
Thanks for your help
with kind regards
Christopher

Hello,
If the FTP server has connectivity to XI and if the
port is open XI can directly do the FTP using File
Adapter.
Thanks,
Himadri
Hi,
thanks for your quick answer.
What means "connectivity to XI"? Our SAP-Environment is in Germany and the FTP-Server is in New York. Is it enough to open the port in the firewall?
Thanks for your answer

IDOC to XML file scenario with party

Hi All,
I am developing a IDOC to XML file scenario with party in which I have extended the MATMAS idoc and configured the receiver FILE communication channel.
But its giving me the error *"No receiver could be determined"* with party. If I run the same scenario without the sender party its working fine.
And sender is my R/3 system under party P_Party and receiver is my third party system under P_Party.
Thanks in advance.
Gaurang

U can give a try as follows.
In the Partner Profile of Sender R/3 system,
Give the Receiver Party P_Party in the PartnerNo. Give the 'Business Partner' as logical System type.
In XI, Party Definition of P_Party
Give the following Alternative Identifier
Agency -   Sender R/3 Business System
Scheme -   ALE#GP
Value    -    P_Party

ALE/IDOC and RFC/BAPI Integration Scenarios with SAP DS for ESA v3

Hi,
we are planning two PoCs of Integration Plattforms. One of our major requirement set is SAP Integration into our existing SOA.
Because we also have R/3 4.7 Systems in production, we are planning to test ALE/IDOC and RFC/BAPI Integration scenarios with these Integration Plattforms.
My question is:
We are looking for are smart solution to get a SAP Test Environment, where we can test ALE/IDOC und RFC/BAPI Integration scenarios.
It is possible to do this with SAP DS for ESA v3 or shall we better use IDES for that purpose?
Best regards,
Steven

Hi Abhishek,
This is our scenario. We are doing an integration of SAP HR r/3 system with the CRM system. We need housing information details of the employees which we have in custom infotype 9310 in SAP HR system and we need those details in the CRM system. So am planning out for an ALE/IDOC approach for the integration and gonna maintain the 9310 details in a custom table. In the CRM system, we gonna build a BOL layer for accessing the 9310 details. Also i'm preparing a HLD for this process. I wanna read and go through few same HLD's before i submit my proposal to my client. Please suggest me and help me out.
Thanks in advance.

SRM 7 PPS Classic Scenario with Plan Driven Procurement?

Hello experts, I want to know if the combination of SRM 7 PPS Classic Scenario with Plan Driven Procurement is possible? or if there any limitation to consider? Our client needs to create purchase requisition in ERP -> send this purchase requisitions to SRM (as shopping carts) create bids - > quotations - > create contract from accepted quotations and then from the contract we need to create purchase order but this one must be created in ERP (classic scenario) Someone has experimented the same situation? Best regards and thanks for your Help.
Liam

Hi Lima ,
Classic scenario wont support PPS .
        - Stand alone and classic scenario not supported
        - Shopping cart renamed to Purchase Requisition
        - Shopping cart generate (pre)commitment in funds management
        - Contract can create Funds Reservation (Earmarked Funds) in Funds Management as a Guarantee
        - Goods Receipt and Invoice created in ERP
        - Mixed PO: PO with lines that works like contract lines, a PO can be created from these lines
        - PO created from contracts or mixed-PO is named call-off PO. Only is a new name, is a "normal" SRM      PO
        - Goods receipt possible in SRM only in "easy" cases
Thanks & Regards
