Parameter record - Months inv -1st BB

Hi All,
While creating a parameter record, we have a field called 'Months inv -1st BB'.
What does the value in this field say. I tried F1 help, it goes, "Number of months between invoicing and first BB amount". Can someone please explain this to me.
Regards,
Joshua.

Hi,
First you need to know what is BB or Budget Billing Plan in SAP IS-U. For that refer the below link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_utilities472/helpdata/EN/0b/f13a290f2511d289810000e828485b/frameset.htm
Now this particular setting defines after how many months the BB amount will be due after the last billing period.
For e.g. customer X has a BB plan and if you define 2 months in this settting and last billing period is 15.02.2011(invoice date) then this BB amount will be due after this many months.
Also check the below documentation from SAP
Define Parameter Records for Portions
The parameter record controls the scheduling of a budget billing. In a parameter record you define how many budget billings are to occur between two periodic billings (the budget billing cycle). You must define all the budget billing cycles you wish to use in the portion here. For each budget billing cycle, specify the number of months between invoicing and the first budget billing, and specify the date of the printout or debit entry run of the budget billing.
This date signifies (1) the day the budget billing request is printed and (2) the day debit entry occurs when the budget billing request is transferred to financial accounting. This print/debit entry date is used as the baseline date for the terms of payment, in order to determine the budget billing due date in the budget billing plan. You maintain the terms of payment in the contract account.
Therefore, only the print/debit entry date can be specified in scheduling. It is not possible to specify the due date of the budget billing.
Example
Budget billing cycle:                                          1            2
Months between invoicing and first BB:           1            2
Day of printing/debit entry run:                         15.          21.
Two budget billing cycles have been defined: (a) has monthly budget billings and (b) has bimonthly budget billings.
The planned print/debit entry dates are defined as 15th (a) and 21st (b) of the relevant month:
a) 15.03, 15.04, 15.05, ...
b) 21.03, 21.05, 21.07, ...
Activities
Define the parameter records relevant for your company.
Further notes
Normally, only one general parameter record is required, in which all the company's possible budget billing cycles are defined

S

SSRS Date parameter - current month from SSAS cube

I have a SSAS cube with a date dimension called Posting Period and now I would like to have my report parameter using this date dimension to show the current month.
So far I have worked out the following expression which are working(Fiscal year calendar going from May to May) for the year component - but I can't figure out how to get it to work on Quarter date part (and the month) so as you can see
the Quarter and month is hardcoded in the below expression:
="[PostingPeriod].[Posting Period].[Year].&[" + CStr(Year(Today())-1) + "].&[Q4].&[10]”
Any help would be appriciated.
Tx

Hi HCMJ,
In your scenario, you use the expression
="[PostingPeriod].[Posting Period].[Year].&[" + CStr(Year(Today())-1) + "].&[Q4].&[10]”
to set the default value of the parameter and then use it in the MDX query, right?
If in this case, you can use the expression below
="[PostingPeriod].[Posting Period].[Year].&[2013].&[Q" & DatePart(DateInterval.Quarter,today()) & "].&[10]”
to set the value on Quarter date part.
And it returns:
If I have anything misunderstood, please point it out and elaborate the meaning of "but I can't figure out how to get it to work on Quarter date part (and the month) so as you can see the Quarter and month is hardcoded
", so that we can make further analysis.

Dynamic Parameter Record Limit

I am using Crystal 2008 with universes as a data source with BOE XI 3.0 (Edge) Infoview and need to create parameter fields that return greater than 1,000 records. I have seen suggestions about modifying the local workstation registry, and also found a reference to an earlier version of BOE (SAP Note 1199759) about modifying the LOV batch size for custom sorting. The latter refers to a Web Intelligence setting, so I'm not sure if it affects parameters in Crystal Reports.
Which is the correct method to resolve this issue my versions of Crystal and BOE?

Hi
we need to make changes for CR so that it fetches more than 1000 records.
Please refer to 1218588 - How to increase the number of values in a dynamic parameter list and make the necessary registry changes.
Hope this helps!!

How to get search help for 2nd parameter based on the 1st parameter value

Hi all!
   I have 2 parameters (material no, revision level). I have created a search help for revision level. It has an importing parameter :material no. and one exporting parameter : revision level.When I checked it, it's giving the revision values only for the specified.
In my report , I have kept these 2 materials in my selection screen.For revision level , I have added the matchcode object which I have created. When I pressed F4 for revision level, it's giving all the values irrespective of the material no. in the first parameter. How to solve it? Please suggest.

Retrieve All records and display in Report using CAML query in Report Builder if Parameter value is blank

Hello Experts,
i have created a report where i have one parameter field where user will pass parameter(e.g. EmpId). As per parameter record will fetched to report if no parameter is passed then it will display all records. I have done it by taking SqlServer Database as datasource.
by using Following method
Now i would like to do it by taking Sharepoint List as Datasource. For that what would be the CAML Query.
Here is my existing CAML query.
<RSSharePointList xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<ListName>Employees</ListName>
<ViewFields>

<FieldRef Name="FirstName" />
<FieldRef Name="LastName" />
<FieldRef Name="FullName" />
<FieldRef Name="UserName" />
<FieldRef Name="Company" />
</ViewFields>
<Query>
<Where>
<Eq>
<FieldRef Name="Title" />
<Value Type="Text">
<Parameter Name="EmployeeId"/>
</Value>
</Eq>
</Where>
</Query>
</RSSharePointList>
The above code is working if i am passing an employeeId to Parameter. If nothing is passed, it is Not retrieving any record.
Please suggest
Thank you

Your problem follows the well-established pattern of using an "All" parameter filter in SSRS. There are a few approaches depending on the size of your data. The easiest one is to return all data from CAML and then filter it within SSRS, the following thread
provides some examples,
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18203317/show-all-records-some-records-based-on-parameter-value.
Other options include passing all of the possible values within the CAML query when "All" is selected, using multiple Report Files to distinguish between both CAML queries, or to use multiple datasets with some logic to show/hide the correct one.

How to display empty months when grouping records by month

Guys, I've got a recordset that successfully displays all
records in the
table grouped according to the month that the record was
created in.
This allows me to display a Monthly tally (a bit like a
barchart - where the
height of the column is derived by the qty of records for
that given month)
for each of the months in the year so far. However, it dawned
on me today
that if there was no activity in a given month, the month
simply doesn't
appear at all, rather than displaying but showing "0" as I
would prefer.
For example, the type of thing I want to display onscreen is:
Month 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
But let's say there were no records inserted in months June
to September
(inclusive), what I'm actually getting onscreen is:
Month 1 2 3 4 5 10 11 12
But what I actually want to appear onscreen is:
Month 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
I hope that makes some kind of sense...
I'm using Dreamweaver CS3, ASP/VBScript, and MySQL.
My current SQL Statement is as follows:
SELECT Count(AffiliateID) AS TotalClicks, MONTH(`VisitDate`)
AS Month
FROM tbl_affiliaterefferals
WHERE `AffiliateID` = "49" AND YEAR(`VisitDate`) =
YEAR(Now()) GROUP BY
MONTH(`VisitDate`)
ORDER BY MONTH(`VisitDate`) ASC
I figured one workaround would be to have 12 separate
recordsets - one for
each month - on the one page, but there must be a cleaner way
of doing it
surely?
Any/all help greatly appreciated.
Regards
David

Hi Joe,
I've simply got a table, within one cell of which is another
table to which
I've applied a background colour and am specifying the height
of the <td>
cell as the qty of the number of records returned for Month 1
of the current
year. Then I'm applying a repeat region to the <TD>
cell containing the
table that varies in height, in order to force the table to
repeat
horizontally according to the number of records (months)
retrieved from the
database.
The code for the table is in the attached txt file.
I appreciate your time in responding however you must have
missed my
comments about what I'm working in as I'm working in
ASP/VBScript and
haven't the first clue when it comes to PHP.
I don't suppose you know or can point me in the direction of
an ASP
equivalent of your suggestion?
Regards
David

How to Include previous Month/Year in Transformation

Hi,
From Source System (DB Table;DB Connect)
Location_ID,EMP_ID,AMOUNT
There is no date field avaliable in the source system.
The Data load to BW will me Monthly frequency...I,e:Data will be loaded once in a Months on 1st of every month.
My requirment is to Include a date field in BW transformations which input previous month/year data for every record
How can i do that and wether do i need to write a start or field routine in transformations
Code please
Thanks

Hi Pal,
You could use the following code to achieve this:
DATA: v_calmonth(6) TYPE c,
v_month(2) TYPE c,
v_year(4) TYPE c.
v_month = sy-datum+4(2).
v_year = sy-datum+0(4).
IF v_month = 1.
v_year = v_year - 1.
ENDIF.
IF v_month = 1.
v_month = 12.
ELSE.
v_month = v_month - 1.
ENDIF.
CONCATENATE v_year v_month INTO result.
Hope this helps.
Thanks and Regards

Last day of previous month for data load

Hi,
I have to load data from the previous month into the psa and then into an infocube. I was wondering as to how to get the last of the previous month to write a code in ABAP. I will be writing the code at the infopackage level in the data selection. I could load data from the 1st of the previous month to the 1st of the current month. This will be an additional load of 30,000 records for the 1st of every month, since I will be loading 30,000 records everyday, I was wondering if I could limit the load from the 1st of every previous month to the last day of that month. This will be a repetitive loading.
DATA: CURR_MM(2) TYPE N,
CURR_YYYY(4) TYPE N,
CURR_DD(2) TYPE N,
PREV_MM(2) TYPE N,
PREV_YYYY(4) TYPE N,
PREV_DD(2) TYPE N,
YYYY_MM(6),
YYYY_MM1(6),
DATE LIKE SY-DATUM.
DATE = SY-DATUM.
CURR_YYYY = DATE+0(4).
CURR_MM = DATE+4(2).
CURR_DD = DATE+6(2).
PREV_DD = 1.
IF CURR_MM = '01'.
PREV_MM = '12'.
PREV_YYYY = CURR_YYYY - 1.
ELSE.
PREV_MM = CURR_MM - 1.
PREV_YYYY = CURR_YYYY.
ENDIF.
concatenate PREV_YYYY PREV_MM PREV_DD into YYYY_MM.
concatenate CURR_YYYY PREV_MM PREV_DD into YYYY_MM1.
read table l_t_range with key

l_t_range-low = YYYY_MM.
l_t_range-high = YYYY_MM1.
l_t_range-sign = 'I'.
l_t_range-option = 'BT'.
modify l_t_range index l_idx.
p_subrc = 0.
Mind you this code will load data from 1st of the previous month to the 1st of current month. I just don't want to load that extra "1st day" of current month data as I have 30,000 records everyday.
Say for example, I want to load data from 1st Mar to 31st Mar or 1st Feb to 28thFeb. How should I modify the above code.
Is there a formula to get the last date of the previous month. That's all I need. This would solve the problem.

try this routine. it will return a range from 1st day to end of the month.

BB usage monitor for 1 month ?

OK, just found the account linked usage monitor, and can see what has been recorded month to date.
Allowing for the fact it's a new tool, it would be nice to see previous months' data too, to assess trending vs. best service selection.
I can't see a way of selecting a date range, say from when the tool started until today though - is this available elsewhere? I presume the data is captured somehow by BT for quarterly billing support.

Hi.
A number of "us" have already pointed this out. You can keep your own figures of course, say in a spreadsheet. The only problem is the silly fault with the system (not yet acknowledged) in that the figures for last day of the month (and hence the overall previous month's figures) are not available.
The meter shows the usage up to midnight the previous day - but does not d this when the day is 1st of the month. At the beginning of November, the meter was reset and the figures for 31st October (and hence the whole month) were not available.
The meter was supposed to go live at the beggining of October, but was delayed until 4th. It's possible that the flaw as seen above may have caused a problem and delayed the implementation.

CA Forum: Formula
Simplest way would be to use a Command or view to return the count grouped by region,month and just report off that.
Another way I think will work is:
Group on Region (group 1) then Date (group 2).
As you've only got two months of data, presumably restricted by the record selection formula, implicitely ordered by the grouping, in the group 1 header you'll be 'looking' at the 1st month's 1st record so use a formula to calculate and store the count for the 1st month: count({table.x}, {table.date}, "monthly")
In group 1's footer you'll be 'looking' at the 2nd month's last record; that month's count is also count({table.x}, {table.date}, "monthly");Suppress the details etc., print these in group 1's footer and use to calculate the %change
Of course, this assume that there's always data for both months, but it's not too tricky to account for this if necessary.

I have stacked column chart to show below opportunity data.
Category axis: Month of created date
Series: sales stage
Aggregate: runningvalue of revenue on sales stage group.
data set has below fields.
1. opportunity id
2. created date
3. revenue
4. sales stage.
5. Calculated field: month of created date
I have a sub report which shows the detail information for that month when I click on Stacked column. In order to achieve this i have to pass a report parameter with month of created date(calculated field) on the click action of main report.
This report parameter is not getting populated when i click on the respective stacked column because of which the sub report is failing.
Any thoughts?
1. Category: month of the created date of opportunity(this
1. Category: month of the created date of opportunity(this

Thanks Katherine for reply.
Creating a subreport was never an issue, the issue was when I click on the stacked column the parameter (A) as per your screenshot was not getting populated, some times it just passes a null value.
In my report below is the sample data and in Chart
1. Series Aggregate is on Runningvalue of Revenue set to stage scope.
2. CAtegory group is on Month of Created date
3. Series group is on Stage
4. Have a report filter for Year.
Sub report parameter: Month which is passed when I click on the stacked column.
Below is sample data how my data looks like.

Below is the image of actual report
In the above screenshot When i click on Region A or Region C for Aug Column, the Month Parameter for subreport is always null. When I click on Region B , parameter is having the
value as "Aug".
Let me know is there anything I am missing.

Issue with Custom data parameter in Excel Data Connection

Hello,
We are querying a OLAP (SSAS 2008) cube using Excel 2007 by creating a data connection to SSAS server with an extended parameter “Custom Data”. We are using custom data parameter to apply our application’s user security to filter dimension
members in Excel’s pivot table report. We have created a pivot table in Excel and the excel is including this custom data parameter along with each request that excel is submitting to SSAS.
However, when the user selects “Show Properties in Report” option for a dimension which is selected in Row-axis of pivot table, Excel is not including custom data parameter . Why this “Custom Data” parameter is not being included in
the request only for this specific case?
1. The Request which sent from Excel to SSAS when user clicks on “Show Properties in Report” option
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><soap:Header><Session xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-analysis" SessionId="AE6B294B-4983-4010-BC5F-E0896A49ECD9"/></soap:Header><soap:Body><Discover
xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-analysis"><RequestType>DISCOVER_LITERALS</RequestType><Restrictions/><Properties><PropertyList><Content>SchemaData</Content><Format>Tabular</Format></PropertyList></Properties></Discover></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>
2. The sample Request which sent from Excel to SSAS for all other requests
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><soap:Header><Session xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-analysis" SessionId="74165AD6-C240-4634-92A1-61A400A3FC97"/></soap:Header><soap:Body><Discover
xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-analysis"><RequestType>MDSCHEMA_CUBES</RequestType><Restrictions><RestrictionList><CUBE_NAME>RepCube</CUBE_NAME></RestrictionList></Restrictions><Properties><PropertyList><Catalog>QAV10_12thMay2010</Catalog><Timeout>5000</Timeout><SafetyOptions>2</SafetyOptions><MdxMissingMemberMode>Error</MdxMissingMemberMode><LocaleIdentifier>1033</LocaleIdentifier><DbpropMsmdMDXCompatibility>1</DbpropMsmdMDXCompatibility><CustomData>xxxxxx</CustomData></PropertyList></Properties></Discover></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>
As the Custom Data parameter is missing in 1st request our application logic is throwing a custom exception to Excel and Excel is not able to understand the exception message. Excel is sending the same request repeatedly (going into infinite loop) and the excel
window is freezed. Not able to work with excel until restarting the Excel.
Can anyone help me to resolve the above? quick help is much appriciated!
Thanks,
Venkat

Venkat,
We have a very similar issue, but there is almost no material to help us. If this gets to you, please let me know if you progressed it or whether I need to go to Microsoft for a solution

Month-to-Date and Year-to-Date values in Query

Hello experts,
One of our BI reports has the following requirement: the user should be asked for the report date. After the user inputs the date, the report shows the key figures in three different "flavors": one is the values for that date, the second one is the cumulate values from the first day of the month of the report date to the report date itself, and the third is the cumulate values from the first day of the year of the report date to the report date itself.
I created my report date variable based on 0CALDAY. Then I searched for SAP-exit variables that would help me achieve this, but could not really find any, except for 0P_ABO10, 0P_ABO11, 0P_ABO12 variables, all of them have as description "Start of Key Date Year". I tried creating a few selections in which the dates taken were defined as a range from each of these variables to the report date variable (for the year-to-date values), but I got the error "Variable 0P_ABO10 could not be substituted". I also got this error for the other two variables. And I could not find any SAP-exit variables like "Start of Key Date Month", in order to do the Month-to-Date part. My next try was to use the field "Key Date" with a variable in it, instead my own report date variable based on 0CALDAY, but it gave me the same errors.
I searched the forums and found a few threads that looked useful, like
First and Last day of month and
1st day of month / 1st day of week variables
However, they require some ABAP coding, and I do not know where to place the code (actually, I do not know where to work with ABAP code), and I also believe that I would have to do some changes to it.
Any suggestions?

Hi Pedro,
You have to create customer exit in T_Code: CMOD
1. Create a Z project
2. Select RSR00001 as enhancement type.
3. Go into include ZXRSRU01
4. create a code like
Here A is your variable based on 0calmonth with type customer exit and B is variable for 0calday.
Try to write logic for your case taking this as example.
WHEN 'A'.
    IF I_Step = 2.
      Loop at I_T_VAR_RANGE into L_T_VAR_RANGE where VNAM = 'B'.
        Concatenate L_T_VAR_RANGE-LOW(4) '001' into D1.
        Concatenate L_T_VAR_RANGE-LOW(4) '012' into D2.
        Clear L_S_Range.
        L_S_Range-low = D1.
        L_S_RANGE-high = D2.
        L_S_RANGE-sign = 'I'.
        L_S_RANGE-opt = 'BT'.
        Append L_S_Range to E_T_Range.
      ENDLOOP.
    ENDIF.
If you want exact code I can help you in that.
Thanks,
Kams
