Period and Period interval.

I am confused with period and period interval. "As many periods as required can be open simultaneously. However, only two period intervals can be open at the same time". This is the statement I saw in the book. Can somebody explain it more.

Dear,
I am confused with period and period interval.
Period is nothing but the standalone value which means only one. For e.g. 1
Period interval is nothing but the range which include period. For e.g. 1 to 8

Special Periods and Variable Offset

Our fiscal year variant includes 12 periods and one special period (Period 13). I created a rolling 12 month query which uses variable offsets to define each column. If the user enters 3/2006, I would expect to see the next columns to show 2/2006, 1/2006, 13/2005, 12/2005....
Instead the query ignores the special period and jumps directly from 1/2006 to 12/2005 - therefore the postings for Period 13, 2005 are not displayed. From what I've found so far this is standard SAP BW functionality, but has anybody had any luck getting around this?
Thank you.

Jeff,
If I enter 13/2005 into the leading column variable, I can see that there are transactions posted to Period 13 which are not included in the results of Period 12. We have another query where the user can enter a period range using an interval variable for 0FISCPER (i.e. from Period 10/2005 to Period 2/2006) and it brings back results for Period 13/2005. However this other query that uses the variable offset to define the rolling periods does not return the Period 13 results. I thought about adding Period 13/2005 to Table T009B, but I would prefer not to set this up in BW without doing the same in R/3, and I'm not quite sure about the implications of adding an extra (not special) period to the Fiscal Year variant in R/3.
Sven,
I use 0FISCPER for posting period, and I created a structure for the twelve periods. There is a variable (0P_FPER) for current posting period in the first column, and the rest of the columns use offsets to go back the 12 months. For example the second column is (0P_FPER - 1), the third column is (0P_FPER - 2), etc. It seems that my problem is related to the fact that the offset ignores the special periods, while the fiscal period interval variable recognizes these periods.
Thanks very much to both of you for your replies!

How to add FISCAL YEAR, Period and Day to cube.

hi,
I am using SD EXTRACTORS (2LIS_11_VAITM, 2LIS_11_VAKON, 2LIS_12_VCITM and 2LIS_13_VDITM) and directly updating each corresponding ODS and cube.
All the extractors only have FISCAL VARIANT has the time characteristic. So, all my ODS contains only one time char - fiscal variant and other dates (liek document created date etc. (not a time char)).
Now, I want to use fiscal period, fiscal year and fiscal day in my cube. I have added these time char in my cube.
My question:
1. how to get FISCAL YEAR, FISCAL PERIOD and FISCAL DAY get updated. Do I need to map to document created date in update rules or Do I need to use some functional module.
Pls note I am bringing only FISCAL VARIANT from R/3 into ODS and then to CUBE.
PLS REPLY.

thanks sundar..i got your point..but I have one question
All the cubes (sales, sales condition and billing) have the sales order number (VBUK-VBELN) and item number (POSNR-VBUK). But info objects used for these fields in sales cube and sales condition cube are same but for billing it is not same.
Can I combine all cubes (sales order, sales condition, billing) in muliti provider.
1. Sales order cube (from VAITM)
           Sales order number (VBUK-VBELN) -- (0DOC_NUMBER)
           Sales Item (VBUK-POSNR)              -- (0S_ORD_ITEM)
Date : Document created date (VBAK-AUDAT) -- 0DOC_DATE
2. Sales Condition cube (from VAKON)
           Sales order number (VBUK-VBELN) -- (0DOC_NUMBER)
           Sales Item (VBUK-POSNR)              -- (0S_ORD_ITEM)
Date: Document created date (VBAK-AUDAT) -- 0DOC_DATE
Key field: Netprice (VBAP-NETWR) -- 0NET_VALUE
3. Delivery Cube (from VCITM)
         Sales order number (VBUK-VBELN)   -- (0DELIV_NUMB)
         Item   (VBUK-POSNR)                         -- (0DELIV_ITEM)
Date: Delivery Date :LIKP-WADAT_IST      -- 0ACT_GI_DTE
4. Billing Cube (from VDITM)
          Sales order number (VBUK-VBELN) -- (0BILL_NUM)
          Sales Item (VBUK-POSNR)              -- (0BILL_ITEM)
Date: Billing Date: (VBRK-FKDAT)             -- (0BILL_DATE)
Key field: Net price (VBRP-NETWR)       -- 0NETVAL_INV
I want to combine above cubes. If I combine, Will I get correct data??????

Opportunity Product reporting with # of Periods and Frequency

We are just about to roll out out a business unit and they will be using the frequency, number of periods, and the start/close date fields on the revenue record.
In staging, I created a test report and it 'explodes' the product to have 12 individual entires, since I picked 12 as the number of periods. I set the qty to 60 and all 11 months have 60 but the first month has 61. Is there a reason for that?

Product: you do get the dimensions and facts for the Product object... so you'd build a report with Product information
Opportunity-Product: you do get dimensions and facts for the Products related to an opportunity... so you'd build a report with Opportunity and Product information

Consingment stock report with values and periods..

hello guys,
i have an issue here.. consignmet stock are "managed" within SD. Is there a standard report which cointains info about consigment stock, its amounts (values) and periods ?
Main point here - consingment stock is processed within SD, so for example t.code MB54 is not useful here .
Thanks guys !
Best regards,
Laimonas

Hi......MB54 wont help since that shows the Vendor consignment stocks.
Use MB52 creatively like this.
Goto MB52
Put your plant name.
In the section 'Selection : Special stock', Mark the check box and put 'W' in Special Stock indicator.
Choose the other settings as per your choice.
Execute.
Now you will see a whole lot of stocks along wioth the Consignment stocks. If you only want to see the consignment stocks, do like this
In the list, put you cursor on the column 'S' which is special stock (i think the 4th colm in the list). Now choose the filter icon and put the filter criteria a 'W' i.e. customer consignment stock.
You can save this is a variant with a name, say /ZCONS.
Now come back to the initial MB52 screen. In the bottom section for display options, put this variant name in the field Layout.
So now when you next run the report with this variant, you will only get the customer consignment stocks with their values.
Hope this helps.

How to populate member values to Year and Period Dimensions

Hi,
I have set up the following members in account dimension:
Lease From (Date Type)
Lease To (Date Type)
Lease Amount (Currency Type)
If I input Jan-2012 in Lease From, Nov-2013 in Lease To and 1,000 in Lease Amount, all in BegBalance->Fy12, how can I populate the 1,000 to the correponding Period and Year dimensions using business rule. I need 1,000 in Lease Amount->Fy12->Jan all way through to Lease Amount->Fy13->Nov. I do not want to create a input form with all the years and periods for monthly input as I may have over 100 lease information with different from and to dates.
Or is there any alternate method I can get the expected results.
Thanks.

Hi
This is a really complex problem! It may help you to look at the documentation around the CapEx planning module as this is Oracle's take on calculating asset depreciation etc on a similar basis (create asset in BegBalance -> NoYear and calculate which periods to poulate depreciation data in using dates, variables and rules). The business rules are presented in full in the doc below but I warn you the code is complex and not easy to understand, although you may get the principles
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/cpx_admin_11122.pdf
You ought to be able to do something using dates and period / year indicies (remember dates are stored in Essbase in something like the format YYYYMMDD, e.g. 20121107 so should be easy to compare whether the date for the period is within range of the dates entered).
I have also tried to do something similar using smartlists in a prototype before but this proved a bit more complicated and not necessarily any more reliable than using dates
Hope this helps

How do I control a data log session with period and sample time?

I need a data logging system where the operator can select 2 logging parameters: Log Period and Sample Time. I also need a START and STOP button to control the logging session. For example, set the log period for 1 hour and the sampling time for 1 second. (I may be using the wrong jargon here.) In this case when the START button is clicked, the system starts logging for 1 second. An hour later, it logs data for another second, and so on until the operator clicks the STOP button. (I will also include a time limit so the logging session will automatically stop after a certain amount of time has elapsed.)
It’s important that when the STOP button is clicked, that the system promptly stops logging. I cannot have the operator wait for up to an hour.
Note that a logging session could last for several days. The application here involves a ship towing a barge at sea where they want to monitor and data log tow line tension. While the system is logging, I need the graph X-axis (autoscaled) to show the date and time. (I’m having trouble getting the graph to show the correct date and time.) For this application, I also need the system to promptly start data logging at a continuous high rate during alarm conditions.
Of course I need to archive the data and retrieve it later for analysis. I think this part I can handle.
Please make a recommendation for program control and provide sample code if you can. It’s the program control concepts that I think I mostly need help here. I also wish to use the Strip Chart Update Mode so the operator can easily view the entire logging session.
DAQ Hardware: Not Selected Yet
LabVIEW Version: 6.1 (Feel free to recommend a v7 solution because I need to soon get it anyway.)
Operating System: Win 2000
In summary:
How do I control a graphing (data log) session for both period and sample time?
How do I stop the session without having to wait for the period to end?
How do I automatically interrupt and control a session during alarm conditions?
Does it make a difference if there is more than one graph (or chart) involved where there are variable sample rates?
Thanks,
Dave

Hello Dave,
Sounds like you have quite the system to set up here. It doesn�t look like you are doing anything terribly complicated. You should be able to modify different examples for the different parts of your application. Examples are always the best place to start.
For analog input, the �Cont Acq&Chart (buffered).vi� example is a great place to start. You can set the scan rate (scans/second) and how many different input channels you want to acquire. This example has its own stop button; it should be a simple matter to add a manual start button. To manually set how long the application runs, you could add a 100 ms delay to each iteration of the while loop (recommended anyway to allow processor to multi-task) and add a control that sets the number
of iterations of the while loop.
For logging data, a great example is the �Cont Acq to File (binary).vi� example.
For different sample rate for different input lines, you could use two parallel loops both running the first example mentioned above. The data would not be able to be displayed on the same graph, however.
If you have more specific questions about any of the different parts of your application, let me know and I�ll b happy to look further into it.
Have a nice day!

Using fiscal period and Fiscal quarter reporting seemlessly in a BI Query

Hi,
We have a very specific issue. Reporting the Fiscal Period( in our
case we have 53 fiscal periods) and Fiscal Quarter( we have 4 quarters)
in the same query seamlessly as we would have done using Calander Month
and Calander quarter in other reports that uses SAP delivered standard
time dimensions.
However unlike the Calander time dimension (SAP provided all
possible...0CALDAY, 0CALWEEK, 0CALMONTH, 0CALQUARTER, 0CALYEAR) where you have all of these inside your info provider, you can get
aggregation on week, month, quarter etc in your query seamlessly, The Fiscal Year/Period offers a problem in doing report seamlessly.
When we delve into Fiscal realm, SAP only provided with 0FISCVARNT,
0FISCPER, 0FISCYEAR and a special period 0FISCPER3. It doesn't provide
anything like 0FISCQUARTER etc and rightly so, because you can have
only one 0FISCVARNT in the Time dimension and can have related periods
(0FISCPER) only for a Row of data in your infocube. For example if you need to model as per the Fiscalweek, you can create a custom Fiscal year variant (Say z1) and can configure to have only 53 periods (Mapped to 0FISCPER) representing
53 Fiscal WEEK. Similarly for mapping Fiscal Quarter you can create
another fiscal year variant (Say Z2) and have only 4 periods (mapped to
0FISCPER also in this case) to represent the 4 Fiscal Quarter. However
the issue is that for one record you can only map either of those and
not both since you can only have one Fiscal year variant in one row of
data in the info provider.
For example
If I have two rows OF DATA coming from different sources (One FOR
Fiscal Week and another for Fiscal Quarter) I can have the following in
my info provider.
1> Example data in Fiscal
Char1 Char2 0CALDAY 0FISCVARNT 0FISCPER Quantity
X ...... y .....10/22/07 ....Z1 .... 432007 .......10
X ....... Y .....10/22/07 ....Z2 .... Q32007 .......20
The issue is how do I report the Quantity in a query in Quarter Q3 as
(10 + 20 = 30) since both the rows corresponds to FISCAL Q32007?
(Please note that Fiscal week 432007(For VARIANT Z1 ) actually is
Fiscal Quarter Q32007( For Fiscal Variant Z2) as per our
configuration of Fiscal Year Variant configuration Z1 and Z2)
The same is very simple when I have infoprovider with CALENDAR Time
dimensions , for example if we dont have any fiscal reporting
requirement and just report on calendar time dimension the record in
the info provider would look like the following ( example)
2> Example Data in CALENDAR DIMENSION
Char1 Char2 0CALDAY 0CALWEEK 0CALQUARTER Quantity
X ........ y .......10/22/07 .......432007 .......Q32007 .......10
X ........Y .......10/22/07 ....... 442007 .......Q32007 .......20
Here we can use both 0CALQUARTER and get the data aggregated on the
quarter level in addition to the 0CALWEEK.
To solve this issue, One option that we are thinking of Using 0CALQUARTER to represent the
Fiscal Quarter and use Update rule to populate this one. For example
THE example 1 can be as follows.
1A> Example of using 0CALQUARTER along with 0FISCVARNT and 0FISCPER
Char1 Char2 0CALDAY 0FISCVARNT 0FISCPER 0CALQUARTERE Quantity
X .......y .......10/22/07 ..............Z1 .......432007 .......Q32007 ..............10
X .......Y .......10/22/07 ..............Z2 .......Q32007 .......Q32007 ..............20
In this case we would populate the 0CALQUARTER by the actual Fiscal
Quarter and then can use both as per example 2 above. But this is not a
smooth option since we have various other info providers to join and
report based on solely Fiscal Quarter etc
I am certain that this issue have already been solved by somebody as this bound to happen in any finance application.
Would appreciate if we can get some light on this regarding the data modelling, reporting etc.
Thanks
Arun G.

You have yourself suggested a solution, which is fine,
Other option is to have a new characteristic Fiscal Qtr in all the infoproviders ans update the same using a routine in the updaterule depending on the fiscal year variant.
for eg. for transaction with variant Z1 in one case you can say if fiscal week 01 between 01 to 13 the Fiscal Qtr should be update with1 and if it is between 14 to 26 then update fiscal qtr with 2 and so on.
For other Variants Z2 you write a different login in the routine ans so on.
so for all the data irrespective of the variant you will have the qtr as either 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 and you can report on this fiscal qtr.
assign points if it helps.

Change comma and period in key figure presentation in BEx WAD reports

Hi gurus
We run our BEx WAD reports in the SAP portal. By default the thousands separator is period and the decimal separator is comma. How can I change this so the period becomes the decimal separator and the comma becomes the thousands separator?
Kind regards
Erik

Hi Erik,
you can change this by setting at user parameters.
At system, at any screen (RSA1) -> menu SYSTEM- > USER PROFILE -> OWN DATA -> Defaults Tab, here you can change.
and Save.
these will reflect in WAD report output.

Difference between "Binding Period" and "Validity Start/End" in Bid

SRM Experts,
1. We see 2 different things, "Binding Period" and "Validity Start/End" while preparing the bid. What is the differece between these?
2. These fileds are non-editable for the bidder, while preparing the bid response. How bidder can give validity period for his quote (at header level)?
3. We see that, the bidder can specify validity start/end date at condition level. Is it not possible to specifiy a validity of the quote at header level?
GH

case1: After expiration of - binding period in RFx header:
case2: After expiration of - validity end period in RFx header:
case3: After expiration of - validity end period of RFx Response:
I created seprate documents for each cases.
I tried accepting the RFx response in all above 3 cases system did not give any error.
I tried creating the PO against the RFx response in all above 3 cases system did not give any error.
Is it correct behavior or is there any problem?

How to club the downpayment and periodic billing scenario in Sales Order

Hi experts,
Could you please let me know how to club the downpayment and periodic billing scenario in Sales Order.
Requirement is : If you have 10 lacs total amount and out of that 50% should be the downpayment and rest of the amount should be distributed among three equated instalments for 2 months each (periodic billing). This should work with one line item in sales order. Pls provide relevant inputs how to work out this scenario.
Your help would be appreciable.
regards....Diwakaran

Hi Yang,
Workflow is the best approach for any issue related to business objects.
Since you want call FM BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE, it will change SO. It means everytime any SO is changed there will an event being triggered.
object type: BUS2032
event: Changed
simple solution:
1. Please create object type (SWO1) and its super type should be BUS2032.
2. Add your own method and attach your custom FM which actually updates the qty & PR)
3. Create Task (PFTC_INS)
in basic data:
- provide object type which you have created
- provide method which you have added
goto triggering events tab
- Choose Object Category as BOR object type
- provide object type (better give BUS2032)
- provide event as CHANGED
Please have look into very nice video blog which helps you to create your workflow.

COPA Report current period and previous period issue

Hi Gurus,
I have defined COPA report (Tcode KE94) based on line items. Now I want all values to be displayed based on an entry parameter in terms of period. That is to say that If I give input values of "010.2013" as a period entry , my report should display the values for the the period specified i.e. 010.2013 in the first column and in second column values for the period 009.2013 should be displayed and in the third column values for the period 001.2013 till 010.2013 should be displayed cumulatively.
For this, I choosed the character "period/year" in General data selection tab, clicked "Variable on/off" tab and gave values "From" as well as "To" for the Global Variable "OFP" which is Curr.fisc.per./year.
For the 1st column (1st column which is suppose to display the values according to selection parameter), along with the character "company code" , I choosed the character "period" and clicked "Variable on/off" tab and gave value "From" as well as "To" for the Global Variable "OFP" which is Curr.fisc.per./year.
For the 2nd column (2nd column which is suppose to display the values for the immediately preceeding period of the selection parameter), along with the character "company code" , I choosed the character "period" and clicked "Variable on/off" tab and gave value "From" as well as "To" for the Global Variable "OFP" which is Curr.fisc.per./year. While doing so, I selected operator as "-" and choosed offset as 1.
For the 3rd column (3rd column which is suppose to display the cumulative values from the beginning of the fiscal year till the period mentioned in the selection parameter), along with the character "company code" , I choosed the character "period" and selected 001 in "From" and 016 in "To" tab.
Company Code selected in all the three columns is same and I have selected actual values i.e. 0 for "plan/actual indicator" tab.
When I run the report through Tcode KE30 , I give values as "010.2013" for the From and To selection tabs. System shows the values as per the selection parameter in the 1st column which is correct but display values same as per coulmn 1st in the 3rd column which is wrong because it should be cumulative. 2nd column is blank.
How to display the values for the immediately preceeding period and for cumulative period?
Regards,
makrand

Dear Ajay,
Thanks for the reply. Here are the screen shots.
For the general data selection tab
For the first column "current month" i.e. for the month
For the second column "Last Months"
For the third column "Cumulative" i.e. year to date
Following is the result of KE30
Values for the period 010.2013
You can see that values in the report for the period 011.2013 contains value for the previous period which is 59090.21
This value is matching when the report is run for the period 010.2013.
But in both the reports,the figures for Current month and YTD (year to date) are same.
Please let me know what setting is required in the current month column.
Regards,
makrand
