NH: Compounding Attribute Clarity Needed

Hi,
Was just going thru some links of Compound Attribute and found this link interesting.
I have a question here, hope you don mind.
In your reply to KMR , you mentioned that The Compund characteristic is "stucked" to the parent characteristic and therefore, whenever you use the characteristic, you have to also use the compound characteristic.
My question is what if i  want to display just the Parent characteristic and not the compound.
For example : I want to display in Query just the Employee as E01 and not like US/E01.
Can i do this way ?
But i don want to remove Country as Compound Attribute in Info-Object, just want to ignore while displaying.
Thanks,
Zehra.

Does anyone have an answer to this?  It seems as though most people aren't understanding the question, but here it is as I understand it:
Compounded InfoObject A with Parent InfoObject B displays as the key as "B Value / A Value".  We want to leave the InfoObject A as compounded, but we want to display just the key "A Value" in the query, without the compounding visible.  This shouldn't require the Parent InfoObject to be present in the query, though it should probably be in the InfoProvider.
This has nothing to do with "No Display".  While in the query runtime, you can right click InfoObject A and select Properties -> Characteristic.  Once in that menu, the display of the InfoObject can be selected as "Key (Not Compounded)".
This is exactly what I want, but I want that to be the display by default, so that users don't have to change the display themselves.  I've looked at the InfoObject in RSA1, and I've looked at it in Query Designer, and neither give me a display option having to do with Compounding, they both limit my options to "Text", "Key", "Text & Key", or "Key & Text".  Then I can also choose which text I want to display.
Any ideas on how to default the display of a compounded InfoObject to "Key (Not Compounded)"?
Thanks,
Owen

  • Problem in compounding attributes

    I need to add compounding attributes to the bw systems from sap R/3. do i need to delete the data in cubes and masterdata and all and start from the scratch, how to solve it, i have seached forum which i couldnt found out.

    Hi Radha,
    Yes you can for the enhancement of the data source. you have to include the new characteristic in the attributes data source and you have to do the mappings and everything upto the object and you can start the loading the transaction and masterdata aswell. but you have to make sure that you have compounded correctly and the compounded object length must be less than or equal to 60(including the added object). and you have to select the option compounding local to the source system.
    Hope its clear,..if you have still any doubts plz let us know.
    also please have a glance at this link: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/80/1a63b3e07211d2acb80000e829fbfe/frameset.htm

  • What is compounding attributes?how can i create it.?

    what is compounding attributes?how can i create it.?

    Hi,
    when you need additional on\bject to identify each records in master data table....ie  a new key in the table...then you go for compounding...so if 24 is the value of A when it is with B then you cmpound B with A.
    Just go the compounding option in the infoobject and add this object
    thats all !
    Thanks

  • Compounding attributes using flat files

    Hi experts,
    Many questions are asked relating compounding attributes previously.
    I think it is a unique one.
    Iam a freesher in sap BI
    Can we use compounding attributes using flatfiles.
    That is I have two file source systems.
    how can I use the compounding attributes concept here.
    Please explain me taking some scenario.
    Points will be assigned for useful answer.
    Thanks,
    Sundar

    Hi,
    Normally compunding means showing the difference of the data on base of the compunded field.
    in your case ic you want to differ on base of country .. then make country as coumponding to employee number.
    that the 2 files will show the difference as below example.
    file 1
    empno                country                companycode
    1133                    india                    001
    1134                    india                    002
    File 2
    1133                    us                       001
    1134                    us                       002
    when the above 2 files get loaded the out put whould be
    empno                country                companycode
    1133                    india                    001
    1133                    us                       001
    1134                    india                    002
    1134                    us                       002
    The data will be show as above ie 4 records.
    when you run a reprot on this.. and when you drill down on country you will get 2 records one for 1133 and other 1134
    let me know if you need any more inputs.

  • Modify infoobject to include compounding attribute

    Hi,
    I need to modify a infoobject to include a compounding attribute. But this infoobjct is already used in DSO and Cube, which in turn contains data. so when i try to modify the infoobject, system throws error message.
    Kindly help me in finding an alternate way to modify the infoobject without deleting data.
    regards
    Suresh Kumar

    HI Suresh
    First delete all the data from the infoobject with SIDs.
    Now , edit your infoobject and load the data.
    it will work definitely.

  • Compounding attributes

    Hi
    I am using 0FIAR_C03 cube. in that i need to get attributes from 0CUST_SALES .
    this I can from source 0customer or not?
    this char have compounding attributes like sales org, dist channel and division .
    how can i fill data for above characters in cube? whether i need look from billing dso to look up data or any master data is better look up data?

    Hi Suneel,
    Below are the option U can opt.
    1. use read master data from the existing char to drive the desired attribute.
    2. Write the Routine on transformation / rule to get the master data attributes. This is similar to read master data but make sure code is optimized.
    3. Enhance the Data source using the Customer exit.
    Useful Doc for the same.

  • ABOUT COMPOUNDING ATTRIBUTE.

    Hi
    Can 1 InfoObject have more than one Compounding Attribute?
    Please let me know.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Yes one infoobject can have upto 14 infoobjects as Compunding.
    You determine whether you want to compound the characteristic to other InfoObjects. You sometimes need to compound InfoObjects in order to map the data model. Some InfoObjects cannot be defined uniquely without compounding.
    For example, if storage location A for plant B is not the same as storage location A for plant C, you can only evaluate the characteristic Storage Location in connection with Plant. In this case, compound characteristic Storage Location to Plant, so that the characteristic is unique.
    One particular option with compounding is the possibility of compounding characteristics to the source system ID. You can do this by setting the Master data is valid locally for the source system indicator. You may need to do this if there are identical characteristic values for the same characteristic in different source systems, but these values indicate different objects.
    Using compounded InfoObjects extensively, particularly if you include a lot of InfoObjects in compounding, can influence performance. Do not try to display hierarchical links through compounding. Use hierarchies instead.
    A maximum of 13 characteristics can be compounded for an InfoObject. Note that characteristic values can also have a maximum of 60 characters. This includes the concatenated value, meaning the total length of the characteristic in compounding plus the length of the characteristic itself.
    Hope it helps.
    Thanks in advance,
    V Praveen

  • How compounding attribute behaves?

    Hello Experts
    I have a doubt about compounding attributes
    0country is compunding attribute fo 0REGION.
    in my scenario i just need 0region in report so i populated values for only this field in 1 cube and country is blank there.
    in my other cube country is not blank.
    In multiprovider i have mapped country and region from both the cubes.
    now to see it correctly in report country should be populated in first cube as well or it will workout ok?
    Regards
    Sudeep

    compounding attribute will be maintaining the consistancy of one record..   eg if there is field1 and field2 combination of this two fields will be giving a unique record.
    country     region           sales group     sales Value
    ind            south             sg1                  $10000
    ind            north              sg1                  $50000
    hope you will understand the concept...

    But I want to display only A which is the main info object. I don't want to display the componding info object.
    Any help on this...?

    Joe,
    I am not sure, if anyone understood your requirement, as I cannot make the solutions provided work for resolving your problem -
    I am also in the same situation - where I want to hide the compounded char. in the BEx report. Once I drill down any other char B (compounded with the company code) - it is still showing the compounded char like CC/charB.
    Any help?

  • Use of compounding attributes?

    Hi,
    can i get what is use of compounding attributes, what scenerio we use this, can i get 1 scenerio.

    Suppose you an Infoobject "Product" with values 1, 2, 3, 4
    You have one more Infoobject "Plant" with values A, B, C
    Now imagine product 3 is produced by plant plant 'A' as well as 'B'
    Now in you have Infoobject "Product" as an independent, you can only store the values for 1independent of the two plants. For eg, Plant A posts 10 units of 1 and the plant B posts 20 units for 1. The result will be the last value i.e 20 received from B.
    Product Units
    1 20
    But that would be incorrect.
    So you compound InfoObj "Product" with "Plant" in this case you will have two different rows
    Plant Product Units
    A 1 10
    B 1 20
