Need help in fetching data - 0CALDAY and 0FISCPER

Question

Hi BW Gurus,
Have a doubt in creating a query in a multi provider..
The multi provider has three cubes.
Two of them have data at Calday level, while another has data at fiscper level..
fiscper is not maintained in the cubes having data at calday level ..
I have to create a query on the multiprovider pulling data from all three cubes .. And the data to be restricted on the basis of fisper level ..
Could anyone suggest me how to go about it ..
Regards.

Answer 1

Hi saugata,
Both the selection will work.
But I was wrong when I said Fiscal period will be easy.
Because getting the date from fiscal period will be quite tricky in the case your user selection is range for Fiscal period As after user enters a fisacl period value you will always have to get the last date of the month for that fiscal period and which will require you to write the code to get last date of month  as 30 or 31 . Also you will have to take care of the leap year in the case of feb to get 29
So that will requier you to write the complex code.
Better is you should go for the calendar day range for the user input as it will just require you get the fiscal period which can be just done by offset and concatenation
01.01.2006 can easily be converted to 001.2006
and 12.02.2006 can be converted 002.2006
There is one more solution
Check if your Cube contains 0CALMONTH/YEAR in your Cube where you have 0CALDAY or you can bring just by mappping your day with it.And check whether your fisacl variant is K4 coming up from R/3 it is always compounded with 0FISCYR then you can restrict your data with 0CALMONTH/YEAR only. and the conversion of 0CALMONTH/YEAR is pretty simple.
All these are options upon which you can work
I would say you should go for calmonth year as it will be a simple routine.
Hope it helps you understand better.
Thanks
