Positioning of Free Char

Hi,
When I try to drill down in my report using any Free Char, it is being added at the end of all the CHAR columns i.e.
If I have 3 CHAR(Customer, Sales Order Number, Date) and 2 KFs in my report, when I try to drill down using the Sales Order Type, the column will be added to the report as the 4th column i.e after the Date.
But, is it possible to add the column at the position which we want for ex: between the Sales Order Number and the Date?
Best Regards,
James.

Hi James,
     Once you run the query and drilldown on the free characteristic you can swap the free charteristic with Date to bring it between Sales Order number and date.
Right click on the Date column-> Select the option Swap date with your free characteristic.

Prakash

  • Use of 'Free Chars' of a Query in the APD

    Hello
    I have a task of building an APD on a query. My question is: Do I need to have all the chars in the 'ROWS' section and all the KFs available in the 'COLUMNS' section (none hidden) before I start building the APD on top of it. Or can I still use the 'Free Chars' option later.
    Regards.

    Hi ,
    Free characteristics will not be available to use in APD. You have to have all the characterstics and key figures in the ROWS or COLUMNS section of the query.

  • Auth infoobject both in free char and selection screen

    Hi,
    Is it possible that I define authorization on, say operating unit, in BW and then provide the operating unit in free characteristic and query selection screen?
    Are there any restrictions to the above scenario?

    Hi Narendra,
    Appreciate your best practice suggestion.
    What I would like to understand is this:
    1 - SAP provided the feature that if we choose processing by auth, it looks at values, defined in auth objects, and populates
         them on the selection screen automatically. Indeed a great feature.
    2 - SAP even gave us freedom to use user exit variables to make it dynamically chosen.
    3 - Even hierarchy based auth framework is provided. Again a great feat.
    4 - Even when user don't give anything in selection screen and just execute, the report is run only for authorized values.
    Then why can't it happen that when user drags the auth IO from free char to report, SAP looks up the authorized values and shows then against the corresponding data record just like it does when we provide values at selection screen.
    I know I might be questioning the SAP auth design and pardon me for my audacity but I just want to understand the rationale behind this restriction.
    You also mentioned about the work arounds to my problem..can you share some so that I might be able to implement them and see if users are fine with it?

  • Can a single char be used both in rows, filters and free chars

    Hi.,
      Can 0customer can be used in rows, filters and free chars at a time ?
    Or the chars which are used in either one of themrows or filters or free chars) cant beused in the other(rows or filters or free chars)?

    NOpe, it can only be used in one place.
    May be what you have seen is it could be a nav. attribute of master data and transactional data with the same name. Or the same object name could have been in two different underlying model of infoset and it would be dragged and dropped with the same name.
    thanks.

  • Filtering on the free chars

    Hi all;
    We are having issue in our test and dev system that after the execution of the report in BEx analyzer if I tried to filter any of the free chars; I get some wired errors and the RRMX gets disconnected from the server.
    1. 'the operation failed because of the program error'
    sometime I get with
    2. '<Install Error> missing ActiveX comp: business explorer seletor.'I don't get disconnection on this case.
    Any idea guys! Seems to me on the details:
    RSAH_BIW_CALL_SERVER(RRMX) is failing in this program; DD_CHECK_NAME_SPACE
    Thank u.

    In ST22
    Error analysis                                                                               
    An exception occurred. This exception is dealt with in more detail below     
    . The exception, which is assigned to the class 'CX_SY_OPEN_SQL_DB', was     
    neither                                                                     
    caught nor passed along using a RAISING clause, in the procedure             
    "DD_CHECK_NAME_SPACE" "(FUNCTION)"                                          
    Since the caller of the procedure could not have expected this exception     
    to occur, the running program was terminated.                               
    The reason for the exception is:                                             
    The table "DD04L " does not contain any data records with the specified key. 
    The system called the internal SAP database interface because it             
    expected to find such a key.                                                 

  • Display sequence of free char

    Hello,
    In query designer, I have changed the order of the free chars in the way I would like to see them displayed in the executed web template (not in actual report, but in the list of chars next to the report). However, when I execute the template connected to the query, the free chars appears in a more or less random sequence.
    I thought that the only thing necessary to do in order to get a certain display sequence of the free char list connected to the query/template was to place the free chars in the requested sequence in query designer, bt obviously something else also needs to be done.
    Could someone help me out with this?

    Hi FC,
    It seems that you are either talking about the Sequence of Variables in the Selection Screen or the Sequence of Free Characteristics that appears in the Navigation Block.
    For arranging the Seq on Variables go to the the Querry properties and change teh Sequence there.
    For arranging the Seq of Characteristics in the Navigation block got to the query change mode and arrange here, or go to the Web Item Navigational Block and in the Properties arrange the characteristics.

  • WAD Button control to Drill down all the Free Char

    Would like to know if there is a setting in WAD to include a Button where by clicking on that button would give an option to drill down on all the free char available in that particular query, please let me know if any of you have done it.
    Thanks.

    Thanks Arun for a quick reply.

  • Stock validation of main position in Free Goods Determination

    Good afternoon,
    We are using Free Goods determination, but we are having a problem when there is no available stock in the main position, SAP is determining quantities of Free Goods; what we want is customize in SPRO to obligate that only we can generate Free Goods if there is enough stock in the main position.
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    This can be controlled effectively in delivery. There is a filed
    free goods delivery control in free goods determination which controls the free goods in delivery.
    The rules which can be maintiaed are:
    Blank : Independently of the main item
                Free goods are processed fully independently.
    A : only if the main item has been partially delivered The free goods are delivered only if at least part of the   required sales material will, or has already been, delivered.
    B : Only if the main item is partially delivered and the free goods are contained in the same delivery.
    Free goods are only delivered if at least part of the material sold is delivered or has already been delivered and if the material sold is in the current delivery.
    C: only if the main item has been partially delivered, only with main item.
    The free goods are delivered only if at least part of the required sales material will, or has already been, delivered.
    D: as a proportion to quantity the main item
    The free goods are supplied as a proportionate quantity in relation to the delivered quantity of the order item.
    But I don't think it is possible to have a control in the sales order to make availability of free goods depends on the maint item. But you can try with delivery group also.

  • Free Chars int the Planning Layout

    Hello IP gurus,
    Is it advisable to put too many free characteristics in the planning layout and in the real time cube . My user is requesting too many chars in the layout and I am suggesting to have it in the report/reporting cube and not in the layout/real time cube. All are actual and nothing to do with planning chars/key figures. Can you please advice what is the best design. Thanks in advance for your help guys.
    Senthil

    Hi,
    You can use free characteristic ,if you are going to plan at that granularity.For input ready query used in planning ,characteristics
    part of aggregation level has to be part of row or column.So check at what granularity you are going to plan for data,then decide design.

  • Wants to display variable as key value in Free Char section of report

    Hi All,
    I have a variable based on characteristic. When I execute report, I pass value for that variable. And I get text of that variable value, displayed in Free Characteristic section.
    Instead of text, I want to display key value there.B'coz many times, texts are ambiguous and quite fictional examples.
    I have tried changing 'Display as key' in Business explorer tab of infoobject definition. And in query definition, I already have 'Display as Key'. So I am wondering what else needs to be done for this change.
    I will appreciate if someone can help me on this.
    Thanks,
    Pranali

    Hi Pranali,
        You can display all variables used in Query in workbook from BEx Menu(Tool bar) -->> Layout --> Display Text eliments --> Variables (you can see two entries for each variable) one for key and one for Text.
    Hope it Helps

  • Issue in Result row display for free char drilled for query with structures

    Hello All,
    I have a structure in the Row with various calculated subtotals for e.g:
    Total Interco sales(selection on some G/L accounts)
    Total ext sales(selection on cost center+group accounts)
    Total Revenue (formula in structure) = Total interco sales + Total ext sales
    In the column I have the key figure called balance.The net effect of this is in the report out we have :
    subtotal**********balance
    Total interco sales*100
    Total ext sales*****200
    Total revenue*******300
    This  is fine in the initial layout ,but when there is further drill down say on the G/l account then the account numbers are repeated for total revenue as well .For e.g
    *********************G/L account Balance
    Total interco sales 11100********50
    *********************12000********50
    *********************result --->*****100
    Total interco sales**11100********50
    ***********************12000********50
    ***********************Unassi******100
    ***********result---->**************200
    Total revenue******11100********100
    ***********************12000********100
    ************************#*************100
    *Overall result -->***************** 300
    However the users dont want to see the g/l account break up for the total revenue in this case.i.e if g/l account is drilled down then only the break up should be seen for total interco sales & ext sales and not for revenue.i tried using supress individual result in case of total revenue but it was not helpful.Also building something like hierarchy with text nodes isnt feasible since there are a lot of subtotals with different char restrictions.Any ideas on  how to achieve this?

    There isnt a way to achieve this,but as a workaround we built selection in the structure.

  • Entry Variable not available in Free char in Query?

    Hi
    I have to remove one of the entry variable in a query, its costing date and is mandatory variable; but it is not visible in Free characteristic to remove it.
    Its one of the factory reports.
    Any idea how to remove it?
    Thanks in advance
    Ishi

    Hi Anup
    The InfoObject Costing date is used in column in one of the KF. But the variable is not used anywhere.
    I tried to create the same report in Query designer, and noticed that after creating the query, system automatically picks the variable as mandatory entry variable
