Purpose of u201CMaintain Levelu201D and u201CText Nodeu201D in Hierarchy Maintenance(RSH1)?

Hi,
1.
In RSH1, in the hierarchy maintenance screen, I played around in the u201CMaintain Levelu201D screen but could not get its purpose. What is it used for?
2.
I have also created a hierarchy and inserted characteristic nodes but what is the u201CText Nodesu201D used for and what is the difference between that and the u201Ccharacteristic nodesu201D?
e.g.
Under the Characteristic Nodes u201CRegionu201D, I created a text node XXX 1.
What is the significance from the point of view of reporting and how will XXX 1 as a Leave under u201CRegionu201D get data when the entire hierarchy is dropped in a report?
Thanks

  • What is the exact purpose of Transaction NACE and NAST Table?

    Hi All,
    What is the exact purpose of Transaction NACE and NAST Table?
    Pls help me…
    Akshitha.

    Hi
    When a Output type in an apllication doc is configured with a Medium, Partner, Lang and other communication paramters an entry is created in NAST table
    so to trigger the output an entry in NAST is compulsory
    Output is a link between the Driver Program and the Sapscript,
    An output type summarizes messages of the same meaning. It contains parameters that are valid for all its assigned messages, for example appropriate partner functions.
    Transmission medium is a medium which the layout will be come out, this may be printout, Fax or Mail
    Check this link.

    ex-how to config output type.
    You will assign output types using Transaction NACE.
    Do the follow steps to assign output type
    1)Select Application Type V2 which will have description Shipping.
    2)Click on Output types button.
    3)Go to change mode by pressing Ctrl+F4.
    4)Select one output type which already exists
    5)Do Copy As(F6)
    6)Give your output type against Output Type field.
    7)Under General data Tab, Give Program and Form routine and Save the data.
    i think it a work of functional guy but at senior level i think it is not a big deal for abaper.
    Check the following documentation
    In NACE t-codewe have the application for each one. based on the application output type can be defined, based on output type script and print progrma can be defined.
    If suppose data can be read from EDI then we should go for condition records.
    So whenever we execute the script first composer checks the output type and then execute the program. in program whenever opn form FM will be populate then script will open first. After that again program till another FM will populate if it then script will populate........like it is cycle proces. Composer does all these things and at last it will submit that output to spool.
    Go to the Transaction NACE.
    choose the related sub module.. like billing or shipping
    doubel click on Output Types
    Choose the Output Type for which whcih you wanted your script to trigger
    Then select the Output Type and double click on Processing Routine
    Then go to create new entries--> Select the Medium (1- print output), then enter your Script and Print Program detls --> Save and come out
    Now go to the Transaction (for which you have created the output type)... Issue output--> Select the output type --> Print....
    Device Types for SAP Output Devices (Detail Information)
    Definition
    The device type indicates the type of printer to be addressed. When you define an output device, choose the name of the device type that was defined in the SAP System for your printer model, such as Post2 for a PostScript printer. In the case of frontend printing under Microsoft Windows, you can also use the generic (device-independent) device type SWIN.
    The system uses the information in the device type to convert a document from the internal SAP character representation (spool request in OTF or in text format) to a device-specific, print-ready data stream (output request). Since a device type specifies attributes that apply to all devices of a certain model, it can be shared among device definitions. For example, all devices in the SAP spool system that are compatible with Hewlett-Packard LaserJet IIID printers would use the HPLJIIID device type.
    You should not confuse the device type with the printer driver. The device type is the total of all attributes of an output device that the SAP System must know to control the output device correctly, such as control commands for font selection, page size, character set selection, and so on. These attributes also include the printer driver that SAPscript/Smart Forms (the SAP form processor) should use for this printer. The SAPscript printer driver that is to be used for devices of this type for output formatting is therefore only an attribute that the device type specifies.
    How do I choose the correct device type?
    • In most cases, the SAP System already provides the appropriate device type for the printer type for the printer model that you want to use.
    These standard device types are completely defined and need no modification or extension before you use them in device definitions.
    • You can also download missing device types from the sapserv server. For a current list of the supported device types, see SAP Note 8928 in the SAP Service Marketplace.
    • Most printers can be controlled using a generic format, such as PostScript. They can be switched to a mode that is compatible with one of the standard printers for which an SAP device type is available. In this case, a supported model is emulated.
    • Almost all printers are delivered with Microsoft Windows printer drivers. The system can control these printers with the generic (device-independent) device type SWIN. The Microsoft Windows spool system then performs the processing of the print data.
    • If the specified device types are not available, and generic device types cannot be used, you must create your own device type or edit a copy of an existing device type. We recommend that only those with specialist knowledge of the SAP Spool System and printer driver code do this. For more information, see Defining a New Device Type .
    Attributes of a Device Type
    A device type is distinguished by the attributes listed below. If you change an existing device type or create a new device type, you must change at least some of these attributes.
    • Character set: A character set specifies the codes with which characters must be represented in the print-ready output stream (output request). This code replaces the generic SAP characters set that is used internally by the SAP spool system (spool request).
    • Printer driver: You can specify different printer drivers for printing SAPscript documents and ABAP lists.
    • Print controls: Print controls represent printer operations, such as boldface or changing the font size. These print control are replaced by printer-specific commands during the creation of the output request from a spool request.
    • Formats: Formats specify the format supported by the SAP system. The system differentiates between SAPScript formats (DINA4 and LETTER) and ABAP list formats (X_65_132 = 65 rows/132 columns).
    • Page format: A page format is the interface between a format and SAPscript. It specifies the paper dimensions with which SAPScript can calculate the row and column lengths.
    • Actions: Actions are output device-specific commands that are required for the implementation of a format. The action printer initialization, for example, can contain a printer command with which the number of rows on a page is defined. There is a set of actions for every format supported by a device type.

  • What is the purpose  of Date From and Date To In Oracle HRMS ?

    hi
    I have doubt on
    What is the purpose of Date From and Date To In Oracle HRMS?
    Thanks

    Where do you see these fields? Please give full details (eg, the navigation path).
    If you're referring to Effective Start Date and Effective End Date (effective_start_date, effective_end_date) these are two fields that appear on many HRMS entities. They're used to store dated history over time. For example:
    14-Jan-2009 to 19-Apr-2009 - Pam Stephens
    20-Apr-2009 to date - Pam Erickson
    In this example Pam got married on the 20th April 2009 and changed her surname from Stephens to Erickson. Here the history of changes are kept so that if we date-track to any time prior to the 20th April 2009 we'll see Pam Stephens and if we date-track on or after the 20th April 2009 we'll see Pam Erickson.

  • Purpose of defining "components" and their use

    On double clicking the Web Dynpro Component, we see many objects defined under "Used Components and Implemented Interfaces".
    What is the purpose behind these components and how do we use them in our application?

    Hi Abhishek,
    You can use this technique to  add the the elements of the separately defined interface controller to the component controller of the implemented component. For large programming projects, this results in a higher reusability of the interface structures.

  • Purpose of IS SUPPLIED and IS REQUESTED

    Hi,
    What is the purpose of "IS SUPPLIED" and "IS REQUESTED" and in which cases we do these ABAP statements.
    Thanks,
    Sandeep

    Hi,
    IS SUPPLIED is used to check if an optional importing parameter e.g. of a method is supplied. Usually this condition is used to default the value if it is not supplied and the default is too complex to hard define it in the parameter definition. Example:
    IF iv_from_dt IS SUPPLIED.
      lv_from = iv_from_dt.
    ELSE.
      " if no start is supplied we take the first of this year as default
      lv_from(4) = sy-datum(4).
      lv_from+4(4) = '0101'.
    ENDIF.
    IS REQUESTED is used to check if a certain exporting parameter has been requested (is further processed) by the caller e.g. of the method. Often function modules or methods have more than one exporting parameter e.g. one structure with data / keys for calculations and one with data / keys and the corresponding texts for printing in a report. If the caller only needs the structure with the data as it does not need any text information the called function module can skip getting the texts and save runtime.

  • Purpose of tables UJA_FORMULA_APP  and UJA_FORMULA tables

    Hi BPC Experts,
    What is the purpose of tables UJA_FORMULA_APP  and UJA_FORMULA tables?
    Thanks.
    Mila

    Hello,
    There r 3 default measures provided with ApShell: Periodic, Quarter To Data, and Year To Date. U can create your own measure by defining it in a table UJA_FORMULA.
    When you create a new application, the entries from UJA_FORMULA are read and copied to table UJA_FORMULA_APP. This is required to replace the variable names with the technical names (we could have read UJA_FORMULA at runtime and done a dynamic replacement, but this optimizes runtime performance). Therefore, it is important to note that if you add a new formula into UJA_FORMULA for an existing application, you will also need to manually update UJA_FORMULA_APP, as well.
    Hope this info will help u,

  • Purpose of Commit work and wait

    Hi Friends,
    Kindly let me know what is the Exact Purpose of Commit work and wait
    Akshitha.

    Hai,
    <b>COMMIT WORK</b>
    This is the standard form, which specifies asynchronous processing. Your program does not wait for the requested functions to finish processing.
    <b>COMMIT WORK AND WAIT</b>
    This form specifies synchronous processing. The commit statement waits for the requested functions to finish processing. Control returns to your program after all high priority (V1) function modules have run successfully.
    The AND WAIT form is convenient for switching old programs to synchronous processing without having to re-write the code. Functionally, using AND WAIT for update-task updates is just the same as dialog-task updates with PERFORM ON COMMIT.

    Hi GS,
    1)There are cases where eCATT will support certain applications like web-based application and hence we use QTP which support this application.
    To put it short,eCATT works excellent with SAP application and if you need to interface applications outside SAP,you can use QTP.
    2)You have to enable setting for the third-party tool.Reach out to your basis team member.
       Once setting is made,you should be able to see the QTP tool and you can use the same for recording.
    For more information,please refer SAP portal.

  • Use of filters and aggregations based on hierarchy nodes in an update rule

    Hello,
    I need to calculate some indicators from a ODS (BW 3.5) that contain raw data to another one that will contain indicators. These figures are the results of the use of filters and aggregations based on hierarchy nodes (for example: all sales accounts under a node).
    In fact, this is typically a query but I want to store these figures, so I need
    I understood I have to use a start routine. I never did that before.
    Could you provide me with easy-to-understand-for-newbies examples of:

    - filtering and aggregation of data based on the appartenance to hierarchy nodes (all sales figures, ....)

  • Issue on profit center group and profit center group hierarchy

    hi experts
    I have a requirement where i have profit center,profit center group and profit center group hierarchy.
    profit center group and profit center group hierarchy are same?if they are same how to get them into BI.if they are not same how to get them into BI
    im using two datasources 2lis_11_vaitm and 2lis_12_vcitm,how to connect the profit center group and profit center group hierarchy with the datasources,My dataflow is on top of these datasources there are two write optimised dso and on top of those w-o dso there are std dso and on top of the std dso there is a infocube.on infocube there is multiprovider
    Thanks,
    sivaram

    Hi Sivaram,
    Profit Center would be an attribute of any object which is used in the 2lis datasources. maybe CO Order or WBS etc...from these objects Profit Center should be or could be made as navigational attribute.
    Further you can load the master data and hierarchy from the datasource 0PROFIT_CTR_0106_HIER
    Hope this helps.
    Good Luck.

  • Assigning company code to new cc and pc standard structure hierarchy

    I've uploaded some profit center and cost center to sandbox, and now the structure hierarchy has changed a lot and makes me totally confused, since all cost center and profit center already have data on it.
    I need to assign all company code (at one Controlling Area) to new stucture hierarchy, can I do that?
    Thanks.
    -=Meila.S=-

    Hi ,
    At a given key date, you can generate the following hierarchies for a cost center from the enterprise organization:
    Standard hierarchy
    Alternative hierarchy
    Replace standard hierarchy with alternative hierarchy.
    If the hierarchies are large, generate them in the background.If you try to generate large hierarchies online, processing can be stopped due to timeout.
    If you want to generate an alternative hierarchy, enter a suffix for this hierarchy.
    You can assign a name without a suffix for the standard hierarchy only
    If you want to replace the standard hierarchy with an alternative hierarchy,Enter the name of the alternative hierarchy that is to be the standard hierarchy.
    When it generates this new standard hierarchy, the system automatically shortens the previous name by this suffix.
    Enter a suffix for the old hierarchy.This becomes an alternative hierarchy.
    Specify whether the hierarchy should be generated for cost center or profit center.
    Specify whether groups that exist in the existing standard or alternative hierarchy should be overwritten when the new hiearchy is generated.
    Specify whether the hierarchy is to be generated for controlling areas or for profit centers.
    Choose Execute
    To generate the hierarchies in the background, choose Execute program in background.
    Thx
