Query - Replacement Path for a Customer Exit Variable

Hi
New to the field and the board. Any and All help is greatly appreciated.
I have created a query which runs based on a date selection. The query have few customer exit variables whose values are set in ABAP. All Key Figures in the query are brought depending on the date ranges that each of the CE returns. Ex - one column is sales for first 10 days, 2nd for second 10 days, 3rd for first quarter, 4th for 2nd quarter and such. There are about 20 - 25 columns with KF in the query and all are Customer Exit date driven.
The challenge:- Each column heading should have the name of the month. I tried using Replacement Path. But it works when the selection is based on a constant value but not on value based on variable which is a customer exit. Ex - If I say restrict Cal/Month for July 2013, the replacement path for the Col Heading works fine. But if I say restrict Cal/Month for "ZVAR_SecondQtr_First_Month" the replacement path doesn't work.
Help Please
Thanks
Vidya

In the text variable that you are using , i guess you have a replacement path. In this instead of using your characteristic for specifying how the value has to replace, use the variable option and give the variable name there

Query Drilldown does not Invoke Customer Exit Variables

We have a problem with performing a drilldown in a BEx Analyzer reprot, basically the client is a Trading company and they have inter company trading. We are using the Profit Centre as one of thre u201CFree Characteristicsu201D in the query and hence we are able to drilldown on a Characterictc by Profit Centre.
We are using a couple of BEx query variables (Customer Exit variables) to determine the inter-area and extrenal area profit centres and these profit centres will be different based on the level of Hieracry node selected when the query is initially executed. For example if we assume a hierarchy with has one root node, 3 children under the root node and 2 grand-children under each of the 3 child nodes, now if we are at the root Node of the Hierarchy then every profit centre is internal and there are no external profit centres, similarly if we are at the 2nd node (i.e. one of the child nodes) then everything under that node is internal and everything in the other 2 child nodes is external and so on.
This is where the issue starts for us, since on the report if we select the the node we want to see the results for at the query rumtime (i.e. the Customer Exit Variables are invoked at I_STEP=2 and they select the other nodes of the hierarcy if any and group them into either external or internal) then the results are correct. Now if we were to drilldown, i.e. We selected the root node and we drilldown on to see for example of the child nodes then the result are not correct, this becomes apparent when we drilldown further to the grand-child nodes.
One logical explaination is that when we are doing the drilldowns the customer exit variables are not being invoked in the BEx analyzer report and hence they are not grouping the sums for the internal and external profit centres relevent to node selected in the Drill down.
Does anyone have any suggestions regarding how to make this query work properly or show the correct results in BEx Analyzer (ideally), I have considered the Workbooks option but the client does not want Workbooks.
Please let me know if there is a program etc we can customise to ensure that the Customer Exit variables logic is used when the user does a drilldown in the query or any other way to make it work.
Many Thanks
Jack

Hi
Just to aid anyone who is thinking what to do in a similar situation, I am aware that RRI or using workbooks are a couple of good alternatives (just that these are currently not being considered by the client, hence I am asking here).. Also, if someone has Business Objects WEBI then we can satisfy the requirement by creating a new Webi Report for each of the nodes and displaying it (similar to Workbooks but much nicer and faster) or we can get the Webi to execute the variables again during the drilldown... Unfortunately the client is not using Webi either... So the solution has to be in BEx Analyzer / Query designer based...
If you have any thoughts on how I might be able to do what I want to do then please feel free, I am quite confident that I am not the 1st person to come accross this issue and someone somewhere has solved this issue.
Thanks

Looking for an ABAP-code for the customer-Exit Variable

Hello,
I have defined a Variable (Interval) which should be processed through Customer-Exit on characteristic Supplier-Date (date format). This Customer-Exit Variable is called ZDATE.
We have another time characteristic Fiscal year / period (0FISCPER) which has single mandatory input variable for ex. 003.2011. This input variable is called ZFISCPER.
Now I have to write an ABAP-Code where the customer exit variable ZDATE is derived (fiscal last year to last period) from input variable ZFISCPER in INCLUDE ZXRSRU01.
Means when the input variable (ZFISCPER) is 003.2011 then the customer exit variable ZDATE should be calculated in INCLUDE ZXRSRU01 as 01.01.2010 u2013 28.02.2011 (fiscal last year to last period).
Since I am quite new in ABAP, I will be grateful if you could write me sample ABAP for this.
Many thanks.

Hi,
should be something like:
DATA: l_s_range TYPE rsr_s_rangesid,
input LIKE sy-datum.
When 'ZDATE'
CONCATENATE '0101' 0FISCPER+3(4)-1 into l_s_range-low. "You get 01012010
CONCATENATE '01' Fiscper+1(6) into input. "You get 01032011
l_s_range-high = input-1. "You get 28022011
APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.

Scenerios for using I_STEP parameter for creating customer exit variables.

Hi All,
I need to create a customer exit variable.
Please explain the different scenerios for using each i_step parameters.
For eg. in which practical scenerio i_step 3 is used?

Hi Shobhit,
You can find plenty of info on this in the forums, So i suggest you to do a small search with imp Key words. Anyways below is the std usage of I_STEP
I_STEP = 1
Call takes place directly before variable entry. Can be used to pre populate selection variables
I_STEP = 2
Call takes place directly after variable entry. This step is only started up when the same variable is not input ready and could not be filled at I_STEP=1.
I_STEP = 3 In this call, you can check the values of the variables. Triggering an exception (RAISE) causes the variable screen to appear once more. Afterwards, I_STEP=2 is also called again.
I_STEP = 0
The enhancement is not called from the variable screen. The call can come from the authorization check or from the Monitor. This is where you want to put the mod for populating the authorization object.
This is basic info from help.sap.com.
regards,
Gaurav

Code (ABAP) for the Customer Exit Variable (CMOD)

Scenario
An employee can purchase any no of policies in a day or month.each policy will have start date and expiry date.
My requirment
Count all the policies(valid) by employee on a ranges basis exception reporting
(0-10;10-20;20-30;30-40) and then able to drill down by policy start date and expiry date.
As per the requirment is to show policies that employee had with in the give date intreval which are not yet expired (active) i need to write a condition that will count only policies whose Expiry date is > Current calender day
As Policy Expiry Date is a char i am converting it to KF using fourmala variable so that i can write a condition on it using current cal day formula variable sap exit
Requirment:
Need a code for SAP exit variable which will meet the following requirment
There are the following 2 variables in the query
1) A variable (User Input)(Date Range) on Policy Start Date and
2) Authorisation Variable which is based on Authorisation Object(Analysis Authorisations)
I need a SAP Exit variable (CMOD) that will
BAsed on the user entered Policy Start date it has to pick all the policy exiry date of the policies and display all the policies whose expiry date is greate than Sy Date (Current Date) and also if Policy Expiry Date is blank or # it has to display
Arun supplied me with the below code...but i think it doesn't include blank expiry date or #...as i am new to ABAP please update me with releavent code
Policy Start Date : ZPST_DTE
Policy Expiry Date: ZPSP_DTE
Variable (Type:Customer Exit) on Expiry Date: ZEEXP_DTE
Arun's Code:
IF I_STEP = 1.
CASE V_NAME

l_s_range-low = SY-DATUM.
l_s_range-opt = 'I'.
l_s_range-sign = 'GT'.
APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
END CASE.
Please modify above code to include Blank or # values of Expiry Date
Thanks Arun
Please ask if you need further info as this is urgent
Thanks

Hi Arun,
Thanks for the help...will definetly assign points
(Closed the previous thread)
Please spare bit of ur time as this is my first ABAP Code
Can i include 2 restrictions..# and Variable (Customer Exit)...But how can i include Records with Blank Values
As the data from Source system the expiry date is filled up with either Date or # or Blank...my requiorment is to include all 3 and
Question:
As there are 2 other variables defined ..one on Policy Start Date (User input date intreval) and Location (Authorization Variable..Analysis Authorisations)...Do i need to change I_STEP in the code
(Req: Reports shows all the(still valid) policies emp has purchased between 2 give date (Variable on Policy Start date)
IF I_STEP = 1.

Hi,
   Just check the below code. You just need to make slight changes I believe. Hope this helps you.
In CMOD..
Sample code

    if i_step = 1.
     l_s_range-low = sy-datum+0(4).
        append l_s_range to e_t_range.
    Endif.
Endcase.

Customer Exit variable on Hierarchy Node

Hello Experts
I am in the process of creating a Customer Exit variable on a Hierarchy node. This will be populated at run time based on the value of a Characteristic variable.
The Hierarchy is activated and included in the roes of the report. I would like the end result to be exactly the same as it would if I had manually entered a variable in Hierarchy node variable
I have written exits before for Characteristic variables, however, I am unable to get this to work for Hierarchy Node variables. Please find below the code I have prepared so far. I follow the approach of creating a seperate executable program for each Customer Exit variable. This Program will be called by the Exit.
DATA: l_s_range TYPE rrrangesid.
DATA:l_s_var_range TYPE rrrangeexit.
FIELD-SYMBOLS : <fs_var_range> TYPE rrrangeexit.
IF i_step = 2.
    READ TABLE i_t_var_range
    ASSIGNING <fs_var_range>
    WITH KEY vnam = 'ZMO_WBS_LVL2'. " Characteristic variable
    IF sy-subrc = 0.
      l_s_range-low = <fs_var_range>-low.
     l_s_range-high = '0HIER_NODE'.*
      l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
      l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
      APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
    endif.
endif.
I would be obliged if anyone can help me understand what is being overlooked. The Query is presently returning "No Applicable data found"
Thanks in advance

Hello
I have made the changes. Please refer the Code below for reference. This code will function display only those Nodes at and below the WBS element(s) that were entered into the variable ZMM_WBS_ELEMT

Customer Exit with offset as input to other Customer Exit variable?

Hi Experts
I have a query which uses a Customer Exit variable "A" with an offset. My problem is then that I would like to use the outcome of "A"+offset as input for another Customer Exit variable "B" in the same query.
Is this possible somehow?
Summing up by example:
Lets say that A return 001 and the offset is 3, then we got the value 4.
Can I somehow get this value (4) and use it in another Customer Exit variable in the same query?
Kind regards,
Torben

Sure
I have 12 rows in a query. One for each month.
Each row is restricted on cust exit A and cust exit B.
A has an offset - the offset is the number of the month, which means 1 for January, 2 for february and so on. Cust exit A returns 001. So the value for Januar is 002, February is 003 and so on.
In cust exit B I need to get the result of cust exit A+offset. 002 for January, 003 for February and so on.
So, how do I get the A+offset for each row?
Kind regards,
Torben

Customer Exit Variable - Sunday of Last Week

Hi experts,
I have written the following code for a customer exit variable. I created a formula variable in BEx called ZV_SUNLASTWEEK. I am then returning the result of this formula variable as a calculated key figure. The expected behaviour is that based on the current date (system date) I will return the date of the sunday of the previous. For example, if I run the report today (19th Jan) I would get the 16.01.2011. However, I get 00/00/0000. Any ideas please?!
WHEN 'ZV_SUNLASTWEEK'.
Data: zfdcw TYPE datum.
CALL FUNCTION 'BWSO_DATE_GET_FIRST_WEEKDAY'
EXPORTING
    date_in         = sy-datum
IMPORTING
    date_out        = zfdcw
EXCEPTIONS
    date_invalid    = 1
    others          = 2.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
ENDIF.
CLEAR l_s_range.
l_s_range-low = zfdcw - 1.
*l_s_range-high = sy-datum.
l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
ENDCASE.

Try using the below code...
WHEN 'ZV_SUNLASTWEEK'.
Data: zfdcw TYPE dats,
l_currentdate type dats,
l_date type sy-datum.
l_currentdate = sy-datum.
CALL FUNCTION 'BWSO_DATE_GET_FIRST_WEEKDAY'
EXPORTING
    date_in         = l_currentdate
IMPORTING
    date_out        = zfdcw
EXCEPTIONS
    date_invalid    = 1
    others          = 2.
IF sy-subrc 0.
ENDIF.
CLEAR l_s_range.
l_date = zfdcw.
l_date = l_date - 1.

Error Message : " No value could be determined for Customer Exit Variable "

Hello BI Experts ,
I have created a "ZYTD_PERIOD" Customer Exit Variable Interval Mandatory and ready for input check mark removed.
The reference character is '0FISCPER' .
I want to have YTD figures when the user enter single Fiscal Year Period for variable 0P_FPER.
So I have written below code in SE37 : EXIT_SAPLRRS0_001 and include program : ZXRSRU01
==================================================================
case i_vnam.
              WHEN 'ZYTD_PERIOD'.
              IF I_STEP = 2.
              LOOP AT I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO LOC_VAR_RANGE WHERE VNAM = '0P_FPER'.
              CLEAR L_S_RANGE.
              L_S_RANGE-LOW0(4) = LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW0(4).
              L_S_RANGE-LOW+4(3) = '001'.
              L_S_RANGE-HIGH = LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW.
              L_S_RANGE-SIGN = 'I'.

              EXIT.
              ENDLOOP.
              ENDIF.
===================================================================
After that I use this 'ZYTD_PERIOD' variable in the query .
Also I have used the variable 0P_FPER in another structure.
When I execute the query by entering the value of 0P_FPER as 010.2009 or any other value ,
I am getting below error message ,
*No value could be determined for variable ZYTDPERIOD*_
Below is details of this Error message ,
Note that I have proper Master and Text data for 0CO_AREA and 0COMP_CODE loaded into BI.
=======================================================================
Diagnosis
This error diagnosis is specific only to the variables 0P_FVAEX or 0P_CTPCA !
Termination message BRAIN 632 appears:
Could not determine value for variable 0P_FVAEX (or 0P_CTPCA).
System Response
1. Operation method of SAP-Exit-Variables 0P_FVAEX or 0P_CTPCA
With queries from the CO application, both SAP-Exit-Variables look for an entry for 'controlling area'. With this controlling area from the selection screen, the SAP-Exit-Variables program reads the attributes for InfoObject 0CO_AREA (controlling area).
With queries from the FI application, the SAP Exit Variable 0P_FVAEX looks for an entry for 'company code'. With this company code from the selection screen, the SAP Exit Variables program reads the attributes for InfoObject 0COMP_CODE (Company Code).
0P_FVAEX determines the fiscal year variant (attribute 0FISCVARNT) from the attributes for 0CO_AREA (CO queries) or 0COMP_CODE (FI queries). 0P_CTPCA determines the currency type of the profit center local currency (attribute 0CURTP_PCA) from the attributes for 0CO_AREA.
2. Cause of Error
The attributes for the controlling area (InfoObject 0CO_AREA) or company code (InfoObject 0COMP_CODE) were not loaded into the BW system, or the attributes for the controlling area are not active in the BW system.
Check whether this is the cause of the error in your BW system. Display the contents of table /bi0/mco_area or /bi0/mcomp_code using transaction se16.
Application CO:
Check whether the attributes 'fiscal year variant' (field FISCVARNT) and 'profit center local currency currency type' (field CURTP_PCA) are filled in the 'A' version (field OBJVERS) for the selected controlling area. If the fiscal year variant in the OBJVERS = 'A' is empty, then the error is with variable 0P_FVAEX. If the currency type of the profit center's local currency in OBJVERS = 'A' is empty, then the error is with variable 0P_CTPCA.
Application FI:
Check whether or not the attribute 'fiscal year variant' (field FISCVARNT) is filled in the 'A' version (field OBJVERS) for the selected controlling area. If the fiscal year variant is empty in OBJVERS= 'A', then the error is with variable 0P_FVAEX.
Procedure
Using InfoSource 0CO_AREA, load the attributes for the controlling area or company code into your BW system.
Afterwards, activate the attribute changes in your BW system. To do this, use transaction rsa1, path 'Tools > Hierarchy/Attribute changes', functions button 'InfoObject list'. Choose InfoObject 0CO_AREA or 0COMP_CODE from this list, and activate the attribute changes.

Create a formula variable using replacement path for current date

Hi All,
I created a formula variable using replacement path for current date.
But when i used this variable am getting an error message saying .
" This Variable cannot be used in this query".
Could you please let me know the reason?
Thanks,
Zehra

Hi All,
Thanks for all your help...
I just found a solution via the below link
in Bex Formula variabel, Current calander day(sap exit) missing.
Here he is trying to use the existing formula variable.
My doubt here is, Even i could not find this varaible in BEX formula variable, But could see this in BI Content path as mentioned in the above link. DO i have to transport this varaible , or i simply can activate it in production?
I just could find this in BI Content but not in MetaData Repository.
Thanks,

Text Variable replace with Customer Exit Variable

Dear Experts,
I created a text variable based on replacementh path (instead of customer exit). The reference characteristic is same that as my customer exit Variable and replace it by Key.
I want to replace it with already Existing Customer Exit Variable but it is not displaying in the List Box even though existing variable option is mandatory.
Can any one Suggest me the answer for this.
Regards
Supraja.K

I do not think you can select Customer Exit variable, if you see the type is selected to Char Value Variables and it is not editable.
It would be suggested to go for Customer Exit procesing type for your text variable.
Cheers,
Neel.

BW Version 3.5 How to define replacement path for a variable

Hi experts,
I'm currently using version 3.5 and I have a multiprovider which stores a copy of the forecasting data every month ( and versions it according to saved month). I would like to develop a report whereby the users enter the months they wish to query and I produce them what was forecast 2 months previous for the month they enter
e.g. May 2011 - what was forecast in March 2011 for May 2011.
June 2011 - what was forecast in April 2011 for June 2011
The problem I'm having is that I need to use the date entered, offset by -2 to read the plan saved in that calendar month. I know this is quite possible in BI 7.0 but I can't seem to do this easily in 3.5.
I created a customer exit variable which caluclates the offset range for the calmonth range entered, however what i am getting is for example when i put in 052011 - 062011:
May 2011 = March 2011 + April 2011 plan
June 2011 = March 2011 + April 2011 plan
When really I want
May 2011 = March 2011
June 2011 = April 2011 plan
Is what I want to do possible?
Thanks in advance,
Harjit.

Hi,
You can do it using customer exit variable.
First of all get the user input for Fiscal Period. After that you can write similar code in exit, I am just giving you sample code.
When 'Req Variable'.
If I_STEP = '2'.
Read the value of variable entered by User. e.g. 052011.
per1 = UserInputVar+0(2).
Year1 = UserInputVar+2(4).
per1 = per1 - 2.
if per1 = 0.
per1 = 12.
Year1 = Year1 - 1.
elseif Per1 = -1.
per1 = 11.
Year1 = Year1 -1 .
Endif.
clear wa_range.
concatenate per1 year1 into wa_range-low.
wa_range-sign = 'I'.
wa_range-option = 'EQ'.
append wa_range to e_t_range.

Durgesh.
Endif.

Customer Exit variable of Query not working in View

Hi,
I have a customer exit variable in my query to calculate the last 6 month period on Calendar month. I have used 0CMONTH for the same and then using offset of 6 on its value range to get it.
Now, I have many views based on this query, which should ideally be having the same filter condition for the calendar month, but it is not happening. Although, it is working fine for the query! The views do not seem to be catching the selection correct.

Hi there,
As far as I Know, yes they exist. The only difference here, is that you build a query with a selection screen, and you execute the query with some selection parameters, and therefore all customer exit variables, offsets, etc, will be read and changed at the runtime execution of the query, and you can rearrange your query visualization drilling down free char., making filters, etc. and storing that visualization in a view.
If you save your view and execute it afterwards, you'll get the same selection parameters to input, the same offsets, etc, that you have with the query, but with a visualization stored by you.
So that should have been working.
Diogo.
