Qualifications - Rolling period

Hi Guys - I have a requirement to set up rolling period validity on Qualifications while I see that the standard if for Years / months. What is the best solution to implement rolling period (in days) of validity for a Qualification?

Hi Matt,
As far as I know OOQA transaction cannot be enhanced.
One option that comes to my mind is, you can write in days to YEARS field and make your Z-reports accordingly. -take years field and show it as days-.
Other than this, I don't think there is another option.

Report with rolling periods

Hi
We have a requiremt of generating reports with a rolling periods functionality. The report has to return data for the recent one year ( eg., if today is 30 Aug 2007, the report should result data from 31 Aug 2006 to 30 Aug 2007).
We are using XMLA connector to build the query definition as we want to have coustomized reports and do not intend to use standard BI reports.
Please let us know how the rolling periods functioanality can be developed within Visual Composer.
Thanks
Kiran

Hi Raju,
I apologize if you have mistaken my query. I am not referring to deletion of data from the data target. I wanted to know if we can can execute a report in VC which fetches data for the current one year. If we were using standard/customized BI reports we could have had the dynamic selection of the filter value using variables. But in our scenario we are developing queries using XMLA connector through the BI integration wizard. In this process we dont find a flexibility to have dynamic time periods (like the report fetching latest one year data). We would like to know if this functionality can be developed in VC through some functions.
Thanks
Kiran

My watches issue & rolling period logic

Dear Concerned:
I am unable to view my watches in control panel. I have been facing this problem since a long time , internet speed is awesome, other colleagues of mine can see their watches ,the page ends up in an error mentioned under
Problem Report
There was a communication problem.
Message ID
TCP_ERROR
Problem Description
The system was unable to communicate with the server.
Possible Problem Cause
    The Web server may be down.
    The Web server may be too busy.
    The Web server may be experiencing other problems, preventing it from responding to clients.
    The communication path may be experiencing problems.
Possible Solution
Try connecting to this server later.
now in order to resolve the issue when i try to send an e mail to SAP network using my official ID( i receive SDN correspondence on daily basis on my official ID ) or other ID there is delivery failure and i am unable to send it to the concerned to get my issue resolved.
Secondly i am unable to understand the rolling period logic with regard to daily decline in ranking.. I am top contributor on Financial Forum...Today my score is 662, by tomorrow it will be reduced by 20 or 30 , if the 30 days rolling logic would be applied then it should also stand true for other contributors. Rolling period logic was explained to me by Daily Decline in ranking score
Their daily score does not decline. Why is that so? Would someone clarify the underlying logic.
Regards

Nilanjan,
Thanks for your prompt reply as always. Somehow I was able to get this thing working, please don't ask me how. It was just a piece of bigger logic code.
I have awarded you full points..

Rolling Period User-Exit

Hi All,
    I have a requirement where I have to populate 11 prior months based on user entered Period and Year. I've created declared 24 customer exit variables ( 12 for month and 12 for year ), upon debugging the user-exit I found that the user-exit populates the values in the variables correctly. But when data is displayed I only get values in my first column ( 1 of 12 ) and all others remain blank. Here is the code snippet for your review. Kindly advice.:
The following code is only for the periods.
DATA:P1(3), " type /BI0/SFISCPER3-FISCPER3
P(3) TYPE N.
when 'ZCPOST1' or 'ZCPOST2' or 'ZCPOST3' or
       'ZCPOST4' or 'ZCPOST5' or 'ZCPOST6' or

Thanks for your advice. But here is my problem: I have two selection screen exit variables one for year and one for Period. If the user enters
005 and 2006, I should be able to calculate the following:
5,4,3,2,1,12,11,10,9,8,7,6 for periods and the year should roll from 2006 to 2005. That's why I had the user-exit, It calculates fine for the first column but all other columns remain blank.
Also, I tried your solution:
When I use fiscalyear/period variable, and use use offsets ( 0, -1, -2 and so on ), only the first column is getting populated and the others are coming out as blank.
Kindly advice.

Qualification Block - period error

Hi all,
We want to use qualification blocks. In our situation the qualifications in the block can change over time. We want to delimit and add new qualifications in the block when something changes. It seems that this flexibilty is not possible, since SAP checks if the period of infotype 1055 is completely covered when adding a qualification toe the qualification block.
Can someone tell me why this check is build in, what goes wrong if we deactivate the check (via modification) or if there's another way to bypass the check? For now we believe that we have to create a new qualification block for every change that takes place after the begindate of the qualification block.
Hope someone can help.
Thanks!
Marco

Hi
The qualifications in the qualification block do not inherit the properties of the block.... so the change in qualification can be done.

Best method for rolling period/year

I have a requirement to retrieve the year/period for 13 periods.
Each year has 12 periods.
Based on a starting year/period, I need to calculate the subsequent 13 periods following.
Basically, it means adding 1 to period but when period passes 12, [subtract 12 (so 13 becomes 1) and add one to year].
Eg:
Start with 2008/10
You get
2008/10
2008/11
2008/12
2009/01
2009/02
etc
I know I can use &start_year+floor((&start_period+&add)/13) to calculate the year but how can I calculate the period.
If I use mod(&start_period+&add,13) I get 1-12 but then 0 upon 13, not 1.
Thanks

Rolling Period (From current period going back 1 year)

I have a question. I have to develop a Report where the requirement is 12 colums starting from current period going back 12 months this could go back a year also.
The report should have 12 colums always.
Rajiv

Hi Rajiv,
You can try to create a structure with your Period char (0FISCPER) in the selections. Add a variable to the first selection (not sure if there is a std var for returning the current period, else you can create a user entry var, or may be code on for yourself). In the remaining 12 selections, use the same variable to restrict 0FISCPER, but use variable offsets...going like -1, -2...-11 for the 12th column.
You can also do restricted key figures, but if you create just a Period structure, you can reuse it in a numebr of reports...depends on your requirement.
Hope this helps...

Calculating rolling periods on weekly base

Hi All,
can anybody help me with the following problem:
I want to display weekly variance to previous year. But calculation should be done on cumulated values and not on single values.
For example, at the moment it is week 4/2008.
Query should display
Week 1: 2008 = 500; 2007 = 250; Deviation = 50%
Week 2: 2008 = 1000 (500 for week 1 + 500 for week 2); 2007= 250 (250 for week 1 + 0 for week 2); Deviation= 75%
Week 3: 2008 = 2000 (500 week 1 + 500 week 2 + 1000 week 3); 2007=500(250 week 1+ 0 week 2 + 250 week 3); Deviation = 75%
When I create two key figures for absolute values and hide them and choose the cumulated button in key figure definition (properties of key figure), then the absolute values are displayed correctly. But variance between these two key figures is not calculated correctly, because the system internally doesn't calculate with cumulated values but with single values. That means in week 2, variance is not calculated between 1000 and 500 (deviation = 50%)but with 500 and 0 (deviation = 100%).
Has anybody any solution for this problem on weekly base?
Thank you very much
Chris

Appears I was over-thinking this! I just did =Sum([Total Sales All] ForAll ([Period])) and that worked!

Mid month period not being calculated in pay slip

Hi Experts,
Mid month period given in 0008 is not being calculated.
e.g. if i hire some one on 16.01.09, then 0008 data should be calculated for those days only (e.g. 16 days) in pay slip. But in my case it is taking full amount of 0008.
Can any one kindly help, pl.
thanks

Check the Period parameter and date modifier
and check the assigment of the above said parameters with the pay roll area in table V_T549A
later generate the Pay roll periods and check
there might be some in consistency while generateing the pay roll periods

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!

Qualifications and Infotype 0024

I would like to understand the relationship between Qualifications Profiles and Infotype 0024
When we create Qualifications Profiles on the PD side, on the Person Object, for example, does it automatically get transferred to IT0024 or do we have to run a Program or a Report to populate IT0024.
Similarly, if we create IT0024 with Qualification data, do we have to also maintain Profile on the PD side with similar data or does it trnasfer data automatically or do we have to run a Report or a Program.
<b>Pl note that PA/PD/OM integration is all ACTIVE</b>

Hi My Friend
Please refer to the SAP note 384001 - FAQ: Qualifications and Requirements
1. How do you activate integration between Personnel Administration and
     Personnel Planning for qualifications?
Customizing: table T77S0, parameter PLOGI QUALI
                                                                   Page 2
2. How does active integration affect infotype 0024 in a personnel
     action?
When integration is active, infotypes 0024 or 0025 must always come at
the end of a personnel action.
3. What impact does active integration have for the Ad Hoc Query?
When integration is active, the data is no longer physically stored in
infotype 0024 (table PA0024), but in infotype 1001 (table HRP1001
subtype A032).This explains too, why you can no longer directly access
the infotype fields of IT0024 in the query. Any attempt to access these
always fails.
4. Why is the qualifications catalog not alphabetically sorted in F4
     possible entries help?
Generally speaking, sorting in the qualifications catalog (transaction
OOQA or PPQD) is not the same as sorting in the possible entries feature
(F4 help). The reason for this is the different method used for the
sorting. While sorting in transactions OOQA and PPQD is done
alphabetically, the possible entries feature only sorts the first level
(qualification groups) alphabetically. All other levels are sorted by
object ID.
From release 4.6C you can sort qualifications manually in the
qualifications catalog (transaction OOQA).From a technical point of
view, this information is stored in the database field P1001-PRIOX.This
sorting also applies to the possible entries help.Thus, the
qualifications catalog has the same sorting throughout.
If you have a pre-4.6C release, you can only achieve the same sorting if
you adjust the field P1001-PRIOX accordingly using transaction PP01 or
PP02. Before you use transactions PP01 or PP02, you should check whether
maintenance is allowed in table T777I.
5. How are notes for qualifications stored in the qualifications
     profile?
The notes are stored period-independent with the key 'person has
qualification' (for example, P 0003212 A032 Q 50001231).The advantage of
this is that you only have one note attached to a qualification, whose
history you can monitor.
Example (Qualifications profile):
Qualification Proficiency Period Note
   English 1 01.01.1980 - 30.06.1998 X
   English 2 01.07.1998 - 31.12.9999 X
The same note is displayed regardless of whether you look at the note
for the first or second entry.
6. Can you create customer-specific Infosets (Ad Hoc Query) for the
     unrestricted search for persons and applicants?
Yes, you can create customer-specific InfoSets. These customer-specific
InfoSets must be defined in the 'global work area' in transaction SQ02.
Customer-specific InfoSets for Personnel Development must not be
defined in the standard work area, they must always be in the global
area.
7. How does the inheritance logic work for the specification
     descriptions for qualifications?
If you want to store standard values for the specification descriptions,
you can do this in the IMG (Personnel Development) under 'Edit scales'.
So that these standard values are inherited to the qualifications, in
the qualification catalog, the 'Default' flag must be set both in the
qualification group and in the qualification in the tab.
If the flag in the qualification group is not set, the stardard values
are not inherited t othe qualification below.
If the flag is not set in the individual qualification, the standard
values are only not inherited to this qualification. Then you can enter
a specification description for this qualification.
Hope it can give you answer
Regards,
Jun

Goods Receipt - Periods - SAP Business ONE

HI
I made an error wlhile posting a goods Receipt :this is what i did i posted a goods issue in January 2012 but by error i posted the goods receipt in the receiving Warehouse in January 2011 after adding the transport cost to the Product in question.
Kindly Help
Edited by: Jürgen L. on Feb 3, 2012 8:46 PM

I cant really believe that, except you are doing this in a not good maintained test system.
inventory postings can only be made in a current or previous period. the current period is determined by month of your posting date entered. Further the period has to be open for posting.
if you was able to goods issue in January 2012, then period is probably 01 2012
but if you enter a date of january 2011, then the period is 01 2011, which is one year ago, twele periods back
this must be by big chance that one company rolled all periods as usual, but the other company did not and stopp rolling periods exact for one year.

Rolling 18months report based on the month prompt.

Hi All,
In one of the requirements in OBIEE, I have to create a report of rolling 18months. Now the challenge is that I will not be taking sysdate in here to calculate the rolling 18 months. I need to take the value of a month prompt on dashboard for calculation and fetch the 18 months rolling data in the report.
E.g: If the user selects Dec-2009 in the month prompt on dashboard, I need to fetch data from July-2008(which is 18 months from Dec-2009) to Dec-2009.
I will be passing the value of the month prompt in a presentation variable in the report, but can I calculate the 18 months prior month on the fly to put in the filter to fetch data? If yes, then how?
I have also created a calculated logical column in the rpd that calculates 18 month earlier date for each date. Now the question arises, how to use filter on this column so that it selects only the month which will be 18 months prior to the selected month prompt on the dashboard so that the data gets fetched for the report?
Thanks in advance,
Sumita

Hi,
Please check out the following blog :
http://shivabizint.wordpress.com/2008/09/19/rolling-months-data-for-year-month-prompt-in-obiee/
Another way I have done it is follows,
On my time dimension, which is at day level, for each given row (day) I derived the rolling period start date and the rolling period end date (which was always previous friday for a given day).
I created a simple report with the following :
Day, Rolling 6mth Start Day, Rolling 12mth Start Day, Rolling 18thmth start day, Rolling End Date.
With day 'is prompted'
In the dashboard reports, you use complex filters to say the day range you are interested in is between 'Rolling X Start date' (6, 12 or 18mth) and Rolling Period End date on the filter query created in the step above.
When the dashboard prompt Go is selected, OBIEE runs the filter query to determine the start and end ranges and these are passed to the dashboard requests to achieve rolling period ranges from a Date prompt. - Im pretty sure you could use a similar method but using a month selector prompt, rather than my day prompt - The theory is the same.
Good luck !
