Query problem - authorization and user entry variable as filter

hi,
I made two variables for the characteristic 0COMP_CODE.
The first variable is a user entry variable for the selection.
The second variable is my authorization variable with multiple single values.
This two variables are defined as filter in the query.
The problem is as follows:
A user is authorized to see the data from three companies. For example companies 1, 2 and 3.
Now he enters on the selection for the 0COMP_CODE the value 2 to see only the data of this company. The query result gets me confused. It shows all data of the companies 2 and others. It basicly shows more companies than he has selected.
Other companies of the authorization variable are shown.
It works if the user has the authorization over all companies.
Did someone has the same problem?
Thanks for your help/advice.
regards,
Pascal

Hi Pascal,
this is an issue. The main problem is that you just can't influence via the exit for a vairable "ready for input".
What could be done is define a dummy element (hidden in the final display) in your query like a restricted KeyFigure to a variable based on COMP_CODE; let's say VAR1 ready for input.
You char COMP_CODE would then be filtered by a variable not ready for input processed by user exit, VAR2.
The exit would ready VAR1. If there any value complying with the authorized one then populate VAR2 with it, otherwise remove it (you could use STEP_3 to raise a message "you aren't authorized to use comp_code XYZ" and return to the initial variable screen). If VAR1 is empty, then populate VAR2 wit all corresponding aithorized values.
The main issue is that
1- this is bypassing the standard functionality of authorization variables
2- any report would have to be designed like that!
What we have done is to add nav_attr / and added more IObjs in the InfoProviders related to 0COMP_CODE reflecting a country, region or any other group of comp_code authorization and then have based our authorizations on those nav....
hope this helps...
Olivier.

User Entry variable - AND condition

Hi,
The requirement is, if the user enters two materials A and B, the query should pull out all the transactions with BOTH materials in it.
If the user entry variable with selection option is used, it pulls out the records even if one of the materials exist (OR condition).
Is there a way to have the AND condition without the use of Customer exit variable?
Thanks.

Hi,
The scenario is like this. Transaction 1 has both the materials A and B. Transaction 2 has only material A. Transaction 3 has only material B.
Trans.No Material
1             A
1             B
2             A
3             B
When the user enters materials A and B, the output should contain only trans.no:1.
Thanks.

User entry variable with exclude values

Hello All,
I created a user entry/ default value variable, which allows multiple single values and is optional entry. And I also got to exclude few values from this infoobject as well as have a variable. When I select and exclude my value from selsction and run the report, I get a system error and the varibale is converted to mandatory entry. The detail error message is displayed below. Any useful input will be awarded
Diagnosis
Variable &V1& is used in the query in such a way, that an optional entry is not possible.
For example, you might be using an "Exclude", or the variable might be connected using OR to additional selections for &V2& in the global filter, but is still displayed in the columns selections.
It is also not possible to use an optional parameter variable to fill an interval selection in either the from-field or the to-field.
System response
Procedure
If you are able to accept the mandatory entry, you need not do anything. Otherwise you must work with several variables in the query. You can use an optional interval variable to do this.
Procedure for System Administration

Hello ,
I did try creating a variable with the foll details:
Variable Type : User Entry / Default Value
Variable Represents : Multiple Single values
Variable entry optional
When I run the query it converts my variable to mandotary entry. but I want to have optional user entry variable.

How to show all the user entry variables in a workbook.

Hi,
My user need to see in the workbook all variables he had entered in the variable entry popup at the openning of the workbook.
I know how to show all the variables, included the hardcoded variable in the query (with a text element, select the checkbox "Display All Statics Filters"), but I need only the user entry variables.
There is a way to print only these variables?
Thank you

Thanks, but the problem is that this workbook is my Global default workbook used for all the queries. So I only want the user entry variables visible automaticly.
There is a way to do that ?
For information, i'm using Netweaver 7.
Thank you

Authorisation and user entry

Hi All
Can anyone tell me the difference between using Authorisation and Manual Entry for processing type for variable in query designer.
Thanks

Hi,
Manual entry variable takes the input values which you have provided while running of the report and gives the query output based on those selections.
Authorization variables gives the query output based upon the aurthorizations maitained for you in the roles assigned to you in the BW system.
It will not take into account all the selection values while running the query and will execute the report only for the values which you are authorized to.
So if you give A, B and C as selection and if you are authorizaed for A only then report will show you the data related to A only in the report.
Thanks

Current date as deafult for Calender Day and user entry

Hello All,
There is a select option for Calender Day for a BW query.
This Calender Day should have a default as Current Date and User entry is also possible.
I have used a Customer exit and written the following code under i_step = 1
data: v_currdt like sy-datum.
clear: v_currdt, vfl_range.
         if i_step = 1.
          vfl_range-sign = 'I'.
          vfl_range-opt = 'EQ'.
          v_currdt = sy-datum.
          vfl_range-low = v_currdt.
          append vfl_range to e_t_range.
         endif.
Please inform if this code is incorrect, because I am not able to see the date at all.
Cheers,
KP

Hi
Check with this code!
Implemented for the same function as you require.-
if i_step = 1.
case i_vname.
    WHEN 'ZZZZZZ'.
      IF i_step = 1.
        REFRESH e_t_range.
        CLEAR l_s_range.
        l_date1 = sy-datum.
        L_S_RANGE-LOW = l_date1.
        L_S_RANGE-SIGN = 'I'.
        L_S_RANGE-OPT = 'EQ'.
        APPEND L_S_RANGE TO E_T_RANGE.
      endif.
endcase.
endif.

User Entry Variables and CMOD

Hi SDN,
I asked this question last week but did not get a straight answer, so I am trying again. Please do not refer me to PDF's on 'How to create Customer Exit variable', that is not the issue. Following is the problem.
User enters a value in a User Entry type variable. We use that value to create a new set of restrictions using CMOD/Customer Exit. However, we then want the value in the first variable to go away or become ineffective.
Or does anyone know the actual run time structure where OLAP keeps the variable values after step 2 so we could changes there?
Thanks.
SM

Surely, you can just delete the value of the 1st variable, or remove it from teh variable table.
You could do this in i_step = 2, once you have computed the value of your new variable
Inside CMOD, the variables are all stored within i_t_var_range. I don't see why you can't just loop at that table until you find your 1st variable, then delete it from that table.
If you can't delete, then loop through the table, and check each line. If the variable in question is not your 1st one, then add it to a temp table. Continue till all records have been evaluated, then refresh i_t_var_range and move the contents of the temp table into i_t_var_range.
Cheers,
Andrew

Assigning a customer exit variable to a user entry variable

Hello all,
I'm creating a PCA query and would, in a certain column, like to show the year's cumulated value (key figure amount), based on documents posted up until a certain posting period (specified via a user entry). E.g. from 01.2006 to [user entry] where the "from"-year is also dependent of the user entry.
1) Where do I do this coding (transaction code/function module etc..)?
2) How do I do this coding?
3) Does this kind of variables exist as standard? If yes, which one?
Thanks!!!
Best regards,
Fredrik

Hello again,
I have now created a new input variable named 'Z_FPER' (single value) which I want to read into the exit variable...
I debugged the query and found out that the value of I_STEP is 1, which is wrong. It should be I_STEP = 2... However, I have definied my user exit variable as "no input" and "mandatory". What else should I do to make it a '2'?
Thanks,
Fredrik
P.S. This is the code:
*& Include ZXRSRU01
DATA: L_S_RANGE TYPE RSR_S_RANGESID.
DATA: LOC_VAR_RANGE LIKE RRRANGEEXIT.
CASE I_VNAM.
WHEN 'Z_FISCPE'.
IF I_STEP = 2. "after the popup
LOOP AT I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO LOC_VAR_RANGE
WHERE VNAM = 'Z_FPER'.
CLEAR L_S_RANGE.
L_S_RANGE-LOW = LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW(4)."low value, e.g.200001
L_S_RANGE-LOW+4(3) = '001'.
L_S_RANGE-HIGH = LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW. "high value = input
L_S_RANGE-SIGN = 'I'.
L_S_RANGE-OPT = 'BT'.
APPEND L_S_RANGE TO E_T_RANGE.
EXIT.
ENDLOOP.
ENDIF.
ENDCASE.

SAP exit -- user entry variable

Hello,
In my report i need two columns: one is for displaying the value of the current period and the other one is for displaying the cumulated value up to the current period. The info object is 0FISCPER.
1. The current period should be entered via user entry and based on this, an exit variable should pick up the year's cumulated value. Which variables could I use to fulfill these requirements?
2. Furthermore i have looked in SE37 to find the code of SAP Exit variable "0FYTCFP". However, the FM for the variable doesn't seem to exist. Why? The variable however exists in table RSZGLOBV. How do I find the code?
Thanks in advance,
F C

If you are gonna use fiscper as a variable parameter, your requirement would need a customer exit.
If i get it right, the first would column should be derived from the user entry which wont be possible with the suggested SAP exit as that would bring the current fiscalyear/period (based on sys date) not giving the user the option to enter the fiscalyear/period. And the second column should be a YTD for that particular year the user has entered as a input parameter. the suggested SAP exit will again be calculating based on ur system date not on the user input.
the only way you can overcome this is if you have the flexibility to use fiscalyear and posting period seperately. if you can do that, you can avoid the customer exit. the procedure would be -
You can create ur own variable of type user entry on fiscalyear and posting period.
the first column would have ur KF further restricted by fiscalyear and posting period restricted by the variables you created ... so in the 1st column you would get the value for that period.
in the second column, the selections would be same (KF further restricted by fiscalyear and posting period ) but while restrict posting period make it a value range - and in the range pick period 1 - the variable u created, that would give you the YTD from period 1 to the user entered period.

Simple Feed from user entry variable to customer exit

Requirement, I am trying to populate the user entry date from variable single value
<b>ZP_userent'.</b> and then feed that date to customer exit variable <b>'ZP_custexit'.</b> to calculate the range User entry date -- '01012099'.
but it is not populating any values in report
Error can not populate 'ZP_custexit'. Please correct error i think date format is not correct
DATA: L_S_RANGE TYPE RSR_S_RANGESID.
DATA: LOC_VAR_RANGE LIKE RRRANGEEXIT.
IF I_STEP = 2 AND I_VNAM = 'ZP_custexit'.
LOOP AT I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO LOC_VAR_RANGE
WHERE VNAM = 'ZP_userent'.
CLEAR L_S_RANGE.
L_s_RANGE-SIGN = 'I'.
L_S_RANGE-OPT = 'EQ'.
L_S_RANGE-LOW = LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW(8).
L_S_RANGE-HIGH = '01012099'.
APPEND L_S_RANGE TO E_T_RANGE.
EXIT.

Hi,
May be a simple solution remove

I_STEP=2 in Planning sequence and user exit variable

Hello!
I need some issue, help plz.
I have planning sequence with currency translation type fuction.
In this function Exch. rate type calculated from user-exit variable VAR_1 (for example).
This VAR_1 calculate from VAR_2 (ready for input) variable on I_STEP = 2.
In pure report all fine, i fill VAR_2 in variable screen and VAR_1 fill in exit.
But! In planning sequence (run from Excel) in I_STEP = 2 structure i_t_var_range is empty and my VAR_1 cannt be calculated.
I try any command and parameters in Bex - no result.
How can i calculate VAR_1? Or what i must do in order to get i_t_var_range on I_STEP 2 with VAR_1.
Thanks.
Anton.
BW SP 17(DEV) AND 19(QAS)

Hello Matthias!
I try all kind of binding, using command VAR_NAME and VAR_VALUE, without command etc.
But it seems like my user-exit variable start in different context and do not see other variable.
My planning sequence start working only when i insert condition for planning function and set VAR_2 here. After that VAR_1 calculate normally ( i_t_var_range on I_STEP 2 contain VAR_2). But i think all should be working without condition...i dont need condition.
Any idea?
Anton.

User Entry Variable - brings back date from several months past - cache?

Hi ,
Please excuse this question if this has already been addressed. I have searched sdn and could not find a posting.
This may seem silly but in a query that is refreshed weekly, it has several variables that can be populated.
The data - 0calday - &yrfdyo& is one.
When I run the query, the variable entry screen appears with all the possbile varibles blank but the 0calday - single day filter - comes back with a date used back in september.
Why is this and where is this saved - cache somewhere? or is this variable saved as a variant somewhere and that is why?
Thanks for any clarification you can provide.
Thank you,
Lynda

the problem was personalization checkbox. I have been using portal and 7.0 and forgotten about the bex analyzer settings.
To change the values to a different set of personalized values
Step 1.After executing the query, Click on change query icon
Step 2 Then, click on Change variable values in the drop down selection
Step 3 You get the selection screen
Step 4; Click on the selection icon on the right; you get the pop up with buttons for (1)Personalize variable values,(2) Load personalized values, (3) Undo personalization.
Click Undo personalization button first
Step 5: Then click Load Personalized Values button: the screen is now returned (with u2018?u2019 in the selected values)
Step 6: Click on the available values: you get the screen with selection checkboxes on the left; select the desired value
Step 7: Then click the personalization icon at the bottom
The new values are now set.
If you stop at Step 4, the personlaization should be undone

User entry variable on navigational attribute

Hi,
Can I create a Manual Entry/Default Value variable on a navigational attribute?
Thanks,
P R.

Hi,
Thanks for your replies.
The attribute is in the master data carrying infoobject. We changed it from display to navigational after the query was created so that we can create variable. The query is based on ODS. In the query, I don't see the option of creating variable on the navigational attribute. Is there any other step to be done?
Thanks.

User entry in a query

Hi All,
I have a query wherein I want to have a user entry but do not want the query result to be affected by it.
The details of the query are such that in this query I am calculating Sales actuals by posting period (selecting constant months to make a quarter) and sales commitment by a normal characteristic Fiscal quarter.
Is it possible that I have a user entry for quarter and have that quarter (selected by the user) displayed in the query but at the same time display the entire data of the query?
Please advise.
Thanks and warm regards,
Sharmishtha

Hi Anil,
In rows I have CGL Branch (user netry/multiple values), organizational division(zdivision/user entry) and sales district. In th columns I have Previous to previous year's sales(SALDR NOTECASH restricted with fiscal year/ user entry variable with offset -2) similarly I have previous year's sales. Then I have current year's Q4 sales. For this I have restricted the same key figure with fiscal year/user entry and posting period=jan,feb,mar). This is because ZBDMIS1 does not have ZFIQUART1(fiscal quarter). Then similarly I have to calculate for all the quarters of the current year. Alongside I also have to calculate the commitments for all the quarters. For this I created a cube in which I included ZFIQUART1 (and loaded thru flat file), as customer will give data in quarter. Finally I made query on the multiprovider. Now, in the query I created a new selection for commitment of Q1 and restricted Sales Commitment Value with fiscal quarter = quarter1 and similarly for all quarters.
But the values of the Sales Commitment val is not coming at all.
Also I wanted to put quarter as user entry. (just as a display of the selected quarter in columns, we don't want it to filter the data)
Thanks and warm regards,
Sharmishtha
