Problems with Key Figure and Drilldown

Good day to you, experts. Several of our reports are required to include a key figure which shows a percentage value. The Query must show something similar to the following (please ignore the "-"):
Total Products---Products Sold--
Percentage sold
Shop A / Jan--5020--
40%
Shop B / Jan--2828--
100%
Shop C / Jan--10030--
30%
TOTALS / Jan--17878--
56.66%
We can see this information for all months. As you can see, it shows the "Shop" Characteristic as well as the Calendar Month (or year, or year/month). The information is updated monthly. The percentage total is calculated as average.
So far so good. The problem is that whenever I take away the Calendar Month characteristic (in order to see this information summarized and not detailed by month), the "Percentage Sold" Key Figure (which is loaded along with the rest of the information, not calculated in the Query) shows strange data, something like this:
Total Products---Products Sold--
Percentage sold
Shop A--250140--
220%
Shop B--108100--
454%
Shop C--466180--
150%
TOTALS--824420--
274.66%
So as long as I keep the most detailed information on the table, it is displayed correctly, and as soon as I take away any of the details (it also happens with the Shop characteristic), the percentage sold displays wrong data. I have tried displaying individual values differently. I also tried using a formula to calculate the percentage sold, which appeared to solve this issue, but after testing it I found that the data on "TOTALS" was incorrect both with and without the monthly detail. This issue has become quite urgent as we are supposed to publish these reports very soon.
Any ideas for solving this issue?

Hi, thanks for the quick reply. I forgot to mention that. As I wrote before, this percentage is given to us directly in the file that is loaded on the system, but since there were problems when taking away a characteristic from the table, I created a formula which should give us the same data. The formula is Percentage = "Products Sold / Total Products" (I used the Percentage part operator, so it looks like this "Products Sold %A Total Products"). The TOTALS value is validated with the person in charge of giving us the file to load.
A sample data record:
DATE--SHOP_ID-DEPT-PRODUCTS-SOLD---PCT.

Problems with key figure quantities between ODS and PSA

We have some key figures which are part of the purchasing transactional load. The key figure in some cases is showing the correct total value for the ordering unit in the PSA but incorrect in the ODS (there is no transformation logic). This seems to happen when an ordering unit exists but a base unit of measure does not exist? Has anyone had similar and how to resolve? Thanks

Problems with Key board and mouse

Ok, right now I have my mouse connected through my keyboard. And A: My mouse scroll button won't scroll down anymore. There use to be an audible clicking when it did, and now it doesn't even make that click.
But the annoying thing is the keyboard. Every so often (sometimes more frequently than I'd like to deal with) my keyboard goes batty and decides it's going to act like it's holding down the enter key and won't stop. It makes posting blogs and etc very difficult. because I have to spend time correcting it, at which point it starts to do it again. Has anyone else experienced this, an/or found a way to fix it?

I have this problem occasionally.
Sometimes something as simple as using a different USB port helps.
best wishes

Query on 0IC_C03 with key figures 0valstckqty and 0valstckval

Hello Gurus,
I want to make a query on 0IC_C03 with key figures 0valstckqty and 0valstckval for a single month eg October 2011. I have 0plant in rows. The problem is that I just see the key figures for planst which have movements in October 2011.
I dont want choose all months in global filter to get key figures for all plants.
How can I solve this problem?
Jesper

Jesper-
You're looking at a "Transactional" info cube. That means that the query you create will ONLY provide data for a selected period in which data exists. Plants with no movements will not appear. That's how it's supposed to work.
Now... you can create a hidden selection in your columns. For example:
First column (hidden)... 0valstckqty + 0valstckval. No other restrictions
Second column (visible) 0valstckqty restricted to the date range of interest
Third column (visible) 0valstckval restricted to the date range of interest
be sure to NOT suppress Zero rows.
Plants that never had a transaction will, however, not appear at all. The query will also take a long time to execute because it's extracting all data.
The best solution is to explain to your user that it's working the way it's supposed to.. if a plant has no values then there were no transactions.

Error GR410: characteristic cannot be combined with key figures

Hi,
My problem is in Report Painter.
I need to add selection by trading partner (or by vendor) in report 6OBU-001. For this Iu2018ve modified reporting table RWCOOM, in order to make available characteristic RASSC in the library 6O2.
Iu2019ve added Trading partner in General selection of my own report (copy of 6OBU-001), but RP gives an error message: u201CCharacteristic RASSC cannot be combined with key figures. Check the report definition: the key figures used must be compatible with characteristic RASSC. For examples of useful combinations of characteristics and key figures, see the SAP standard reports.u201D
Any opinions are truly appreciated.

I read this note before, but I still don't know how to write a ABAP code.
I need information from table COEP like sum of qunatity or costs. I have this information for Cost Elements and Orders in CCSS but I don't have for Materials.

Virtual Key figures and Chars

Can someone explain me what are virtual key figures and how to populate data for them.
Regards
Kunal

AHP,
Thanks for the help, one last question, i posted same on sdn week back, there was no proper response. I have standard LO datasource and enhanced with around 25 fields, the major problem is none of these fields are delta capable and they are coming from 13 diff tables, with great difficulty i could tie the relation between them. Most of the fields change and none them are picked,
is there anyway i can write a program for all this fields for delta enabling. The last option which iam left is to load the data every week as full load though data volume is less, which is not practiced.

What is diffrernce between key figures and characteristics?

Hi all,
I am a newbie to SAP BI....i am doing Masters in ERP(SAP)....I have confusion about what is basic difference between key figures and characteristics?
Why do we have to define attributes in characteristics?
If any one can refer me a thread that answers my questions or explain with very lucid example I will highly appreciate it.....please answer this question as I have just spend 4-5 months studying BI and have not really implemented in the Industry but we do have access to SAP BI where we perform tutorials....
Also please let me know the links to materials where basics of BI are explained in a very simple way.....
Thanks,

KF is anything which can quantitatively measured: Amount, Number, Value, Price... whatever you want to measure is called Key Figure. This key figures are also called KPI (Key Performance Indicator). If you want to know the number of sales orders, the number of deliveries, the amount of deliveries... all are key figures
And to add to that, key figures are also divided into two:
Cumulative KF: Like I said, amount, value, price
Non-cumulative KF, this is different kind of key figures which shouldn't be summed up, for example: Age, Inventory, Number of Employees. When you measure this key figures, you don't add the age of every body, because that doesn't make any sense, but adding the sum of all deliveries, or adding all Sales does make sense, that is the difference between the two key figures.
Characteristics: are anything which couldn't be quantitatively measured: material, customer, plant, employee ID and so on...
Aways, in BI you measure the KF against the Key figures..
thanks.

Problems with iPhone 4 and 3G

Hi,
since iOS 5 I am faced with severe software problems, software freezes and system crashes. Lately I am facing problems to call without openining a specific setting before calling. Ditto the iPhone has problems to connect to the internet, but it can not be the SIM card as the card is working without problems in other devices. I have reset the device and installed a backup - no changes. Maybe a pure rest will do, but I am not really happy about starting to set up everything from scratch.
Does anyone have similar problems and/or a solution?
Thanks.

One of the issues that we have had since the latest upgrade (4.2.1) is with the radio function in general (both wifi and bluetooth). We have identified that the wifi security protocol stack has serious issues with key length and this can stop connections to the wifi systems such as TC and APE, but it also affects anyone using security string longer than 8 characters.
With bluetooth we noticed that the older pairing sequence was no longer working. The only way that we could clear this down was by deleting all pairing done earlier in both devices, resetting the network settings and then restarting the 'phone. Place the vehicle/headset/device into pairing mode AFTER the iPhone has completely restarted. Go into the GENERAL-BLUETOOTH settings and pair the device again, this should be all you need to do.
One thing to note is that some of the older bluetooth devices only support v1 of the bluetooth protocol stack and this causes trouble with the new update (don't know why yet but it looks like a handshake problem).
Finally - for BMW owners, the bluetooth stack in 4.2.1 can cause intermittent drop-outs if the car software has not been updated recently (prior to Jan 2010). If you need to pair your iPhone 4 or upgraded 3GS, you may need to take your car to a dealer to update the comms package to he latest version. The snap-in for the iPhone 4 is due from Jan 2011.
Hope this helps.

Hi I have had problems with photo's and films going onto a 2010 Apple classic MP3. Have managed to sort photos but it still refuses to copy the films purchased. It comes up with not copied cannot be played on this ipod.

Self explanatory.
You could try creating an iPod version of the films.
Use CTRL and B to display the Menu bar shown above. Alternatively, use the ALT key, followed by the F key, the W key and finally the I (eye) key - that's (menu)/File/Create New Version/Create iPod or iPhone version.

Cumulative key figure and non cumulative key figure

Hi BW Expertz
Could any one give me the clarification about cumulative and non cumulative key figures .Why we go for cumulative key figure and non cumulative key figure.If any docs could u just mail to the following [email protected]
Thanx In advance
Best regards

Cumulative values are those key figures (KF) that are cumulated using all characteristics, thus also using time.
Ex: Sales revenue, Quantity....
Non-cumulative values are those key figures that are measured in relation to a period in time; they cannot be meaningfully cumulated over time. Non-cumulative values are summarized over time using so called exception aggregation.
Ex: Number of employees, Inventory, Stock prices, Account balance,.....
AGGREGATION TAB
Non cumulatives are evaluated by non-cummulative values. Non-cummulative values are special key figures that are different from other key figures (cummulative values) in data transfers and saving as well as in aggregational behaviour. These are measured in relation to a period in time; that is to say, they cannot be meaningfully cumulated over time. Non-cumulative value are summaraized over-time using exception aggregation.
Non-cumulative values such as 'number of employess' are cumulated using characteristics such as 'cost center'. It does not make any sense, however, to cumulate the number of employees using different periods. The result at the end of any particular period would be the sum total of number of employees for each posting during the period. This would of course be wrong.
Instead, the aggregation of the KF can be defined as exception aggregation wherein an additional references characteristics is utilized to tell BW which value to use during the period, in this case, 0CALMONTH is used, in the above example, to indicate that only the last value of 0HEADCOUNT, updated by costcenter, is to be taken for any calender year and month.
Cummulative vs Non-Cumulatives
The purpose of non-cumulatives is to optimize the data transfer in BW, the data retention and the database access. The data transfer from OLTP to BW is minimized and only the meaningful data is saved and processed.
It is recommended that you use non-cumulative values for areas that dont change frequently such as warehouse stock or number of employees.
Non-cumulatives are modeled in BW using a non-cumulative value with the fields belonging to it for storing the non-cumulative or for inflows or outflows.
Non-cumulative values are stored with special KF that differ in terms of data transfers and aggregational behaviour.
Features of NON-Cumulative Values Transfering and Saving Data:
- NC values are mapped uisng one KF for NC changes or two KF for inflows and outflows.
-NC are transferred in an initialization run and the change runs that follow (initialization can also be omitted here)
- A non-cumulative value always has a time-related exception aggegation.

Definition of Non cumulative Key figure and web template

Hi all,
Can anyone define a Non cumulative Key figure and a web template.
Thanks in advance.

A non-cumulative is a non-aggregating key figure on the level of one or more objects that is always displayed in relation to time.Examples of non-cumulatives include headcount, account balance and material inventory.If the non-cumulatives change infrequently, you should choose non-cumulative management with non-cumulative key figures.

Report painter- Characteristic can not be maintained with key figures

We have added new characteristic ZZFIELD1 in CCSS report sructure for reporting and selected it in gen. selection list. While running report painter report, it gives an error that ZZFIELD1 cannot be combined with key figures.
Any help to figure out what step is missing will be highly appreciated.
This is a PS report painter report using PS database profile in the selection of parameters for the report
Thanks

The fields we have added is ZZFIELD1 ZZFIELD2 in the PRPS table. And the key figures used in the report is;
AWKG - variance/accrual costs (basic key figure) with characteristic version 0, value type 32, fiscal year and period
SWKG - cost (basic key figure) with characteristic version 0, value type 4, fiscal year and period.
SMEG - quantity (basic key figure) with characteristic version 0, value type 4, fiscal year and period.

Report Painter - Characteristic cannot be combined with key figures

Hi,
I have added a new field (ZZABTEI) to the report structure CCSS and using that field as a characteristic in the report. But when I execute the report, it is giving the error "Characteristic ZZABTEI cannot be combined with key figures". Can anyone help me to solve this issue.
Thank you,
Rekha

There no code for this. I had to add the new field to CCSS structure. Then there were some configuration to be done. Then this message is got when the report in the report painter is executed. The details of this error message is as follows :
Characteristic ZZABTEI cannot be combined with key figures
Message no. GR410
Diagnosis
Characteristic ZZABTEI is being used in a report with a key figure that does not match this characteristic.
System Response
The system cancels generation.
Procedure
Check the report definition: the key figures used must be compatible with characteristic ZZABTEI. For examples of useful combinations of characteristics and key figures, see the SAP standard reports.
Technical explanation: The Report Writer table assigned to the report is defined as a view with multiple database tables (somewhat similar to Report Writer table CCSS) and a key figure used in the report refers to a database table which does not contain characteristic ZZABTEI.
Example 1 for table CCSS: If the 'cost' or 'quantity' key figures are used in a report (referring to tables COSP and COSS), you cannot use the 'Statistical key figure' (only occurs in table COSR) characteristic in the rows. On the contrary, using the 'Cost element' (tables COSP and COSS) characteristic is not permitted for the 'Statistical quantity' (table COSR) key figure.
Example 2 for table CCSS: If a report only displays line item data (key figures IE... or PE...), you cannot use the 'PERBL' characteristic, because it is only valid for summary data. You have to use the 'PERIO' characteristic for line item data.
Thank you,
Rekha

Restricted Key Figure and : Change Variable in WAD

Hi everybody,
I have a restricted key figure in my query, which is restricting all sales volumes of a product by time variable.
I am using this restricted key figure instead of a real filter on the whole query because I have to view the total volume of this product and the volume in this year.
This works very well, but I have no possibility to change the value of the time variable in the restricted key figure in WAD by a generic navigation block.
How can i do this?
Thanks,
Alex

Hi...
The Web item Generic Navigation Block displays the navigational state of a query view in the Web application in the form of a table. All characteristics and structures in the query view are listed in the table and their filter values are displayed. You can change the navigational status of the query view. You can filter according to single values and remove the filter again.
You want to see the results in tabular form and to be able to navigate
through those results using key figures and characteristics.

I am using iPhoto 11 and my library has 736.5mb on disk. I have problems with iPhoto stalling and needing to force quit. I have rebuilt my library. Can you suggest anything else?

I am using iPhoto 11 and my library has 736.5mb on disk. I have problems with iPhoto stalling and needing to force quit. I have rebuilt my library. Can you suggest anything else? Thanks, Rose

Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If that does'nt help log into another user account on your Mac and try iPhoto from there.
