Navigational attribute and query result

gurus
i have business organization under which i have various materials. my data flows through ods into cube. and in the cube i have my business org and materials ids
now the problem is some of my materials have changed Buss ORG like
Mat 1 used to be under Buss Org 1
now
Mat 1 is under Buss org 2
and when the users run the report they should be able to see mat 1 under buss org 2. (even the history should go under buss org 2)
and now i have to change my design
options i have
1) since my data is available in ods if i propose buss org as a navigation attribut and create a new cube without buss org in the cube will it work
2) i will go with the existing design and load the new data which mean i have two sets of data
one with material 1 under buss org 1 (which is history) and
material 1 under buss org 2 (from now)
now if i propose buss org as navigation attribute and use this in query will i see both history data and new data under Buss org 2.
please do reply
thanks

thanks for a very useful information bhanu
lets say my records in cube are
Mid         Bussorg         Qty
10048        GMI             100
10048        GMR             200
now initially 10048 was under busorg GMI but its now under GMR.
if i take BusOrg char into my query i will get two BusOrg for the same Mat
i want even my history to be moved under new BusOrg
its like when i run the report it should give me
10048      GMR              300
this is how i want the result
if i propose BusOrg as navigational attr and take that into query will i get the same result?

"Error determining attribute" after adding navigational attribute to query

Hello all,
We are getting a "Error Error determining attribute, Abort System error in program SAPLRRK0 and form RSRDR;SRRK0f30-01-" error message when running a query after adding a navigational attribute. We tried adding the attribute of the characteristic directly in the query and this works ok. But when we try using the navigational attribute we get the error. We would like to use the navigational attribute so we can filter based on this attribute.
We've searched for notes regarding this problem and haven't found any. Any suggestions?
Thanks, Ron

hi,
Please check if number of the fields after adding the Navigationl attribute the should not cross 50.
Check the RSRV test for the master data whose navigational attribute u r trying to add.
Thanks

Navigational Attribute and Hierarchy

Hi All,
We are loading customer master from DB Connect to infoobject "ZCUSTID". Now Company type description (ZCMPINDS) is Navigational Attribute of ZCUSTID. And we are loading flat file hierarchy for ZCMPINDS with two external characteristics (ZMKTSEG and ZINDSEG).
We have created test query and we maintained necessary setting for Hierarchy but we are not able to drill down to hierarchy for ZCUSTID. Mainly we are not able to see ZINDSEG and ZMKTSEG in report.
Kindly suggest some solution.
Regards,
Sohil Shah.

Hi Sohil,
In Query designer : right click on ZCUSTID, there you have to select attributes of ZCUSTID ,find ZINDSEG and ZMKTSEG select them .
Hope it heps.......

Need to add navigational attribute in query level

Hi,
Im new to bi . in dso i have a navigational attribute 0CRM_MKTELM _ 0BPARTNER . 0CRM_MKTELM is a master data and 0BPARTNER also a master data that dso is used in infoset , 0country is the attribute of 0bpartner. i need to bring the 0country into my query . how can i do that
Regards,

If you want to use 0COUNTRY as a navgational atttr. first go to info object 0BPARTNER and make 0COUNTRY as a navigational attr. save activate.
The go to cube or DSO and check Navigational attr box infront of this info object,
And then it will be available as a navigational attr in your query.
Hope this helps,

Reg Navigational Attribute in Query

HI
Iam having a strange problem,I wasnt to include a channel levl that is a navigable attribute to customer in my query.The query is reporting from an multi provider.I find that the navigable attribute is checked in my Infocube ,but its not appearing in my query to drag it in the columns.
Is it because it is reporting from Multiprovider should it be generated.If so how?
Thanks
BR

You need to make it as navigational in the multiprovider definition too. Navigational attr of underlying cubes are not automatically included in the multi. You need to manually include them as you do for the chars and KF's

Navigational attribute in query

hi,
i have 0pp_c03 cube in production planning. There is 0material as master infoobject and 0material_zmw as navigational attribute i am using it to evaluate values in my formula.
In my cube i have 0material, 0order
now if i want to see value of the formula then i have to explicity select navigation attribute
i.e
0material 0order 0matieral_mw Formula -- >
values are display correctly
but if i against 0material 0order the value
of the formula is display as X .
Actually i wanted to display as aggregrate of evaluated value in the formula is there any way we can do it against 0material 0order.

For Example
0material 0order 0material_mw formula/1000
1          1        1250         1.25
1          2        1250         1.25
Result i am expecting is
0material   formula/1000
1              2.50

Navigational attribute and FOX in IP

Hi,
I have experienced a strange behavior of a FOX.
This is a copy from ACTUAL InfoCube to PLAN InfoCube, keyfigures are different.
In the ACTUAL one, we have only cost center and profit center as navigational attribute. In plan, we have both. Here is the fox (operand is KF, infoprovider, profit center) :
{KF1, ACTUAL, PC01} = {KF3, PLAN, #}.
I doesn't work in IP (no data are read from the reference). We tested it in BPS and it works.
For me, this is the right syntax since profit center is not is the ACTUAL cube.
After that, we removed profit center from the operand (PC01 is a constant in the filter).
Here is the new fox (operand is KF, infoprovider) :
{KF1, ACTUAL} = {KF3, PLAN}. This fox is not supposed to work because it should try to read reference data with profit center PC01. But it works !!!
After saving data, we noticed that the fox copies every records from the ACTUAL cube with navigational attribute profit center = PC01.
Did you ever experience that or I missed something ?
The system seems to take into account the value of the navigational attribute.
Thanks

Hi Jaques,
I guess you have a MultiProvider and you have mapped the Characteristic PC from the plan cube and the navigational attribute from the actual cube both to the characteristic in the multiprovider.
Then it is correct, that the sytsem does the selection on the char in plan and the nav in actual.

Unable to Restrict Navigational Attribute in Query Designer

Hi BI Experts,

Dear Ram,
Dont expand the InfoObject and see the Attributes ( They r Dis Attrs )
Just expand the Dimension --- Nav Attrs are available ?
Dont put them in Filter pane..( if available )
Drop them under Rows.
But restrict them under Default values ( By clicking on Filter pane ).

Selection generated with Navigational Attribute and store forecast profile

Hi,
Our business has a requirement that will require for the solution a Forecast Profile to be stored against a selection which was generated with a navigational attribute in the selection. I have found two SAP Notes 329707 and 394076 shown below which point to BAdi /SAPAPO/SDP_FCST5 method SEL_CHANGE to do the job. Can anyone help me in understanding what coding we need to do within the BAdi to get this to work. Does anyone have an example?
SAP Note 329707
Method:
    SEL_CHANGE (as of SCM 4.1)
    This method can be used to change the selection to be stored in
    in the generated selection table. Navigation attributes can be
    removed, such as the function of assigning a forecast
    profile to the selection can also be allowed for selections with
    navigation attribute without a basic characteristic.
    Parameter
     IV_PAREAID      Importing Type /SAPAPO/TS_PAREAID
     CT_SELECTION    Changing   Type /SAPAPO/TS_IOBJ_SELECTION_TAB
Sample code:
    DATA: lv_tabix     TYPE sytabix.
    DATA: lt_chars     TYPE /sapapo/dm_int_chars_tab.
    DATA: ls_chars     TYPE /sapapo/dm_int_chars.
    DATA: ls_selection Type /SAPAPO/TS_IOBJ_SELECTION.
    IF iv_pareaid = 'PAREA1'.
      CALL FUNCTION '/SAPAPO/TS_PAREA_SINGLE_GET'
        EXPORTING
          iv_pareaid   = iv_pareaid
        IMPORTING
          et_chars     = lt_chars
        EXCEPTIONS
          not_found    = 1
          OTHERS       = 2.
      CHECK sy-subrc EQ 0.
      LOOP AT ct_selection INTO ls_selection
                          WHERE iobjnm NE '9AVERSION'.
        lv_tabix = sy-tabix.
        READ TABLE lt_chars INTO ls_chars
                            WITH KEY iobjnm = ls_selection-iobjnm.
        IF sy-subrc EQ 0 AND NOT ls_chars-atrnavfl IS INITIAL.
           DELETE ct_selection INDEX lv_tabix.
        ENDIF.
      ENDLOOP.
    ENDIF.
SAP Note 394076
As of Release SCM 4.1, you can use the method SEL_CHANGE of the BadI /SAPAPO/SDP_FCST5 to process the selection before saving it to the generated selection tables. This allows you to save selections with navigation attributes, for example, where the selections do not have a specified basis characteristic. You simply need to delete the navigation attributes from the selection.

Is all the Navigational attribute checked for display during cube creatiion?

Navigational attribute issue-time dependent

Hi all,
I am working with 0PA_C01, I included some additional navigational attribute(time dependent )to 0employee, but when i am checking all these navigational attribute at cube level or Report , i can find only the latest values ,for eg i added Designation as a time dependent navigational attribute for 0employee, and the designation for a employee is changing after 12.2008 from VP to SVP ,at the cube   and also in the report i can find only the latest designation for all the calmonth ie before 12.2008 also as SVP .
I checked the the time dependent Navigational attribute option to make designation as a time dependent navigational attribute ,and also ran the attribute change run .
Can anyone suggest some information to fix it?
Thanks
Sandhya

Dear Sandya,
Results correct only in your report. Time dependent attributes displyas data based on keydate. if no key date specified, system takes current date as key date and displays data.
So in your case latest data displaying. If you want to see any historic designations, you need to specify key date, which shold fall into that particular range.
Create a User entry variable for keydate and use.
Key date
Each query has a key date. For time-dependent data, the key date determines the time for which the data is selected. The default key date value is the date on which the query is executed, that is <Today>.
       1.      Click on the Key Date field. A dialog box with a calendar appears for you to select your key date.
       2.      Select a date from the calendar. If you select 01.01.1999 for example, time-dependent data is read from the 01.01.1999.
Note
The key date applies only to time-dependent data.

i have master data CHARECTRISTICS OUC_CONTRACT having attributes mvn_date,leg_mvn_date .i need to display union of both dates in single column.

Your simplest solution is to modify your infoobject and create a new attribute that is the characteristic that you wish to display. Update the transfer rule or DTP with a function that merges the two other attributes into the new attribute, and then use that attribute in your query.
Alternatively you can set these attributes up as Navigational attributes, and then you can manipulate them as independent characteristics in your query results. But this will significantly reduce the performance of your query.
