Order Series key figure is considered as Time Series

Hi Gurus,
I'm adding a new Key FIgure (Order type) into a copied version of SNP Planning Area.
I have assigned category and therefore category group and, applied similar settings like other KFs (Planning Area, Planning Bokk...). The thing is when going into Data View, it's not behaving as an Order Type and saves its data as a Time Series. Thus no "detailed information" appears when I right-click in the bucket.
Do you have any idea where my settings are wrong?
PS: I'm using SCM 7.0 module version
Many thanks & regards,
David

Hi David,
You defined the keyfigure as order keyfigure.So when enter value in this keyigure system tries to create order as per keyfigure function which is assigned to this keyfigure.please note that not all the keyfigure functions creates the order.
If your keyfigure function is anyone of the following then system creates the stock transaport order:
4001
4015
4002
4007
4006
4013
4018
4019
4020
If your keyfigure function is anyone of the following then system creates planned orders:
2001
9020
2007
If your keyfigure function is anyone of the following then system creates forecast:
1002
1003
1004
Hope this information will helps you.

Change order of key figure is not working in Web report output (using WAD)

Hi,
We are using BI 7.0, release 701 and level 008. We are facing problem in WAD (web report output). When ever we do 'Select filter' for key figures and 'change the order' of key figures, it does not get reflected in new order. Though drag and drop of key figures is working.
Though same change order is working fine in Bex Analyser.
Kindly suggest some inputs.
Thanks.

Hi,
On Which Service Pack are you on?WAD has this feature of re arranging the keyfigures in BI 7.0 for SPS 14...

Change Order of key figures

Hi Gurus,
We are using BI 7.0. & MS excel 2003 & 2007 both.
I've designed a query with 10 Key figures.
After execution, based on Key figures I have Added Local Formula in query.
Now I want to change the order of Key Figures and bring Newly added Local Formula column at 3rd position.
I've tried using Select Filter... and changed the order of column as I want, but this doesn't work.
I can drag the column & drop it at desired position. It's working that way in office 2003.
But in office 2007, Drag and Drop not working at all. Even for characteristics also.
Is this problem with BEx Excel Patch? I've installed excel patch for both 2003 & 2007. But still not working properly.
Please suggest. If you know latest patch available for office 2003 & 2007, please suggest.
Thanks.

HI,
I am on BI7, Excel 2007
Drag and Drop Functionality for both Char & KF is working fine including the placement of Local Formula.
seems you need to check with the Basis Team for proper installation of the BEx Excel patch

Key figure values vary each time the report is run by different users

Hi All,
We are facing a unique problem, here it goes :
Different users are getting different values for the same key figure, when executing the same query on the same selection conditions.Each time, user executes the report, he is getting varying values for the same key figure.Any idea's how to resolve this issue??
Thanks in Advance
Bindu

Hi Bindu,
One reason might be due to authorizations as discussed earlier.
check how frequently is the cube getting refreshed.
This might also happen that if users are running the data at different times and there is a cube load in between.
check for this.
Cheers,

How to fill a Key figure at Query run time

Hi All,
I have a requirement where I have to fill a key figure while the query is running. This value is obtained by multiplying 2 attributes of a Material Master Data object.I could have used Formula Variable but there are two problems -
1. I have material in my info provider but not this Material Master Data object.
2. For a particular material, there are multiple rows in the Master Data object. And I have to pick only one row by applying some condition on a field of the MD object.
Please let me know if there is some way to implement this.

Hello,
You can obtain this using virtual KF. Create a KF and include in the cube on which report is built. Dont have any mapping/rule for the same.
Now write ur code using SMOD and populate this KF during runtime.

How to calculate the value of key figure by considering other char or kf

Hi
My requirement is like this:
I have a key figure which gives me the planned issues and receipts but i know that if only from locaton is blank and to loc is filled then that are receipts and if both the from and to location values are filled then it is issues,
can you pls let me know how i 'll put this logic in th reporting bex and how i achieve this by user exit or any other way
thx
rubane

Create two RKF, restrict first with [ from = '#' ] to get the planned receipts, and restrict the second with [ from <> '#' and to <> '#' ] to get the issues.

Time series and Order series questions

Hi Guys - Need some help in understanding/Visualizing some basic APO concepts. I do not want to move further without understanding these concepts completely. I did read sap help and couple of apo books but none gave me a complete understanding of this very basic concept.
1. Data is stored in livecache in 3 different ways. time series, order series and atp time series. for now I am concentrating on just time series and order series. Can some one help me understand with an example how data is stored in time series and how it is stored in order series? I read that data which is not order related is called time series data and which is order related is called order series data.
My query is even in DP time series data, data is stored with respect to product and location that is transferred to snp. In SNP too data is processed with respect to product and location. so what is the difference in time series data and order series data?
2. what are time series key figures and what are order series key figures? I read safety stock for example is a time series keyfigure. why is it not a order series key figure? what makes a keyfigure time series or order series? can some one xplain this in detail with an example or numbers?
3. there is a stock category group in snp tab of location master LOC3. Stock category should be product related right? how is this related to location and what does this field mean in location master
Thanks a lot for your help in advance. Please let me know if I am not clear in any of the questions.

Hi,
Time series: Data is stored in buckets with no reference to orders.( If you place the mouse on time series data and right click for
                     display details , you will not find any information.
                      Suitable for tactical planing and aggregated planning. Usually in demand planning.
Pre requisite: 1. You need to create time series objects for the planning area.
                       2. When creating planning area you should not make any entries for the Key figure in the field Info Cube, category
                           and category group.
                       3. When creating planning area any entry you made in the field Key figure semantics with prefixed with TS.
                           (Optional entry)
Order series: Data is stored in buckets with reference to orders.( If you place the cursor on the order series data and right click
                      the mouse for display details , you will find information of order details.)
                     Useful for operative planning.
                     *You will have real time integration with R3.
Pre requisite: 1. You need to create time series objects for the planning area.( though you are creating Order series)
                      2.When creating a planning area specify a category or category group or enter a key figure semantics with prefix
                        LC.
                     3. When creating planning area you should not make an entry for the key figure in the field Info cube.

Time series objects and order objects on what condtion we need to use

Dear Experts ,
I have question regarding Time series objects and order objects
from my understanding
TIme series objects the data is stored in time buckets without
reference to orders.
Order objects the data is stored as orders. Key figure data is
then saved as orders if semantic 000 is entered in the detail view of the key
figures in the planning area.
my question is when to use the option 1 and when should not use
same for option 2
Many thanks
Regards
Raj

Hi,
This depends on the requirement you have also the application you are using.Like DP key figures are generally time series since in DP you do not need order numbers for example for history sales the requirement is the quantity period wise but not the order numbers.
Again in SNP the distribution and planned quantities are required order wisecoz you need the order numbers you execute the same in ECC system or for Pegging purposes.
Now the safety stock requirement can not be at order series since this is with relevent to some periods.
So overall i can say this depends on the requirement of the kay figure.
Hope this can help.

Key figure in a series

Hi SDN,
Our customer pointed out that on a certain metric, the key figure needs to a additive series, rather than an individual value. So except for the 1st fiscal quarter every other qtr is sum of itself and the previous qtr - within a single year.
The problem is also that in the query we pass a starting time period as a variable and from that point on, upto ten qtrs can be displayed if there is data. So we cannot fix the query to a single year with four fix columns.
Please advise.
Saf.

Hi,
what characteristics do you have available?
If you have 0CALYEAR and 0CALQUART1 (resp FISCYEAR and FISCPER3) then drilling them in the columns and having your KF flagged as cumulated would make it.
Otherwise, what ar yours alternative? can you afford remodelling? Add this YTD KeyFig in your provider would be an option?
hope this helps...

Open sales orders key figure in APO

HI Gurus,
Can anyone please throw some light as to where i need to be looking in this scenario. Our BW resource extracts open sales order quantity from ECC and loads into APO DP. The issue that i'm seeing is the open sales order quantity key figure is not getting updated properly in APO. For example to begin with we have a quantity of 800 EA in the period of 12/2014 (we go by fiscal period and in this case 12 would represent September 2014), 01/2015(October 2014), 02/2015(November 2014). The customer service group has deleted the quantity completely from period 12/2014 (September 2014) in ECC. But when i look in the planning book in APO, i can still see the quantities in the periods of 12/2014, 01/2015 and 02/2015. I was expecting the quantity from the period of 12/2014 to not showup in APO as it has been deleted in ECC. Our BW resource also confirms that he has loaded it properly in APO. Where can i start looking to resolve this issue.
Thanks
Ravi

Dear Subhash, Thanks for your reply and i apologize as APO DP is new to me and i'm picking up things, can you please guide me to which tcode should i be going and checking this. Also reloading the planning area can you xplain a little more please
Okay i have checked in the tcode /SAPAPO/TSCUBE and this is setup in the process chain for us which runs once a month on the opening day of the period. I hope this is what you were referring to?
Under the key figure assignment in TSCUBE tcode, i see that the 'Add data" check box is not checked under Target area.

How to create a key figure in SNP plannignbook which generate FA type order

Hello
trying to create a Key Figure in SNP planning book which generates FA type orders
could kindly suggest how to do it?
thanks
elena

Hi,
You would be having different key figures in SNP. The type of orders that you see in Key figure is driven by type of categories or category group that you assign in planning area to each key figure. You can modifiy these cateogry groups in IMG settings.
When you manually create a forecast through a report then automatically you will see those orders in key figures where you have assigned the category FA.
Hope this helps.

Using Non cumulative key figure in Real time cube

Hi gurus,
I have used non cumulative key figure in a real time cube and when i tried to enter some data using RSINPUT ,it is giving an error and the data is not getting saved.
Can anyone please tell me how to use the Non cumulative key figure in the Real time cube .
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Ravikanth

Hi Ravi,
Please make sure that when you use a non cumulative key figure iun your real time info cube, then choose a time reference characteristic for that key figure.
Then, this time reference characteristic applies for all the non-cumulative values of the InfoCube and must be the u201Csmallestu201D of the time characteristics present in the InfoCube.
For more detaisl, refer to the [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/39/100c38e15711d4b2d90050da4c74dc/frameset.htm|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/39/100c38e15711d4b2d90050da4c74dc/frameset.htm]

Time Series Storage Design

Hi, I've got the unenviable task of rewriting the data storage back end for a very complex legacy system which analyses time series data for a range of different data sets. What I want to do is bring this data kicking an screaming into the 21st century but putting it into a database. While I have worked with databases for many years I've never really had to put large amounts of data into one and certainly never had to make sure I can get large chunks of that that data very quickly.
The data is shaped like this: multiple data sets (about 10 normally) each with up to 100k rows with each row containing up to 300 data points (grand total of about 300,000,000 data points). In each data set all rows contain the same number of points but not all data sets will contain the same number of points as each other. I will typically need to access a whole data set at a time but I need to be able to address individual points (or at least rows) as well.
My current thinking is that storing each data point separately, while great from a access point of view, probably isn't practical from a speed point of view. Combined with the fact that most operations are performed on a whole row at a time I think row based storage is probably the best option.
Of the row based storage solutions I think I have two options: multiple columns and array based. I'm favouring a single column holding an array of data points as it fits well with the requirement that different data sets can have different numbers of points. If I have separate columns I'm probably into multiple tables for the data and dynamic table / column creation.
To make sure this solution is fast I was thinking of using hibernate with caching turned on. Alternatively I've used JBoss Cache with great results in the past.
Does this sound like a solution that will fly? Have I missed anything obvious? I'm hoping someone might help me check over my thinking before I commit serious amounts of time to this...

Hi,
Time Series Key Figure:
        Basically Time series key figure is used in Demand planning only. Whenever you cerated a key figure & add it to DP planning area then it is automatically convert it in to time series key figure. Whenever you actiavte the planning area that means you activate each Key figure of planning area with time series planning version.
       There is one more type of Key figure & i.e. an order series key figure & which mainly used in to SNP planning area.
Storage Bucket profile:
      SBP is used to create a space in to live cache for the periodicity like from 2003 to 2010 etc. Whenever you create SBP then it will occupy space in the live cache for the respective periodicity & which we can use to planning area to store the data. So storage bucket is used for storing the data of planning area.
Time/Planning bucket profile:
     basically TBP is used to define periodicity in to the data view. If you want to see the data view in the year, Monthly, Weekly & daily bucket that you have to define in to TBP.
Hope this will help you.

Sujay

Time Series Objects for a Planning Area

Hi all,
Can anyone let me know why do we create Time Series Objects for a Planning Area.
What is its Role & significance..
Regards,.
Vishal.S.Pandya

time series is usually a Demand planning concept(and used in SNP as well but in SNP its predominantly the order series that plays a main role)
time series is a general concept in statistics(and forecasting) wherein the value of a key figure is represented in a time bucket
Time series gives you an idea of the gradual change in the values by time and the relation of the future based on the past
planning area in APO (and other tools) tries to represent this as a 2 dimensional model with time on the columns and key figures in the rows. the value that you load into the cells that are formed by the above are based on the characterisitic values you choose from your MPOS which is linked to the way the values are stored in the planning area
The planning area stores data for each key figure in the smallest unit of time(technical storage buckets) and the lowest level of characterisitc value combination
