Regarding Line item

Hi Friends,
line item dimension improves the preformence i know that but can i use 13 dimensions as line line items?
or is there any limitation....please let me know friends.

Hello Venkat,
Line item dimension improves performance; yes, but if you look into it, how it improves? you will know the answer for your question. Say you have 13 charac and you are going to have 13 different dimensions, this may not be the optimal design. having all 13 charc in a single dimension, even this may not be the optiomal design. the optimal design would be to group related characteristics with smaller crdinality into single dimension ad making the charac with very high cardinality as line item dimension and finally even grouping non-related characs with smaller dimension into a single dimension.
the reason for having a line item dimension is, say document number is a charac and it is grouped with 0country. the values for doc no will be in millions nd combining this with country (say ur proj have 4 countries) will make these milions * 4, which will be a huge set in the dimension table to perform a search during querying.

Regarding line-item-dimention

hi,
plz clarify my doubt regarding line-item-dimention.
When line-item Dimensions are used without containing the line-item characteristic in the aggregate, which aggregate should be built?
thanks,
Neelima.

Hi Nl .G
Aggregates can be built out of other aggregates to reduce the amount of data to be read and, hence, to improve the roll-up performance Aggregate hierarchy is determined automatically.
In order to use an aggregate in the first place, it must be defined activated and filled. When you activate it, the required tables are created in the database from the aggregate definition. Technically speaking, an aggregate is actually a separate BasicCube with its own fact table and dimension tables. Dimension tables that agree with the InfoCube are used together. Upon creation, every aggregate is given a six-digit number that starts with the figure1.
am sure using basic aggreate will solve this issue..Try and let me know..
any furthur info you can read from the given link..

Regarding line item dimension

Hi all,
what are the necessary prerequisities will u take regarding line item dimension.
for eg., for sd cubes we r using sales doc no., i.obj as a line item dimension? why can't the other i.obj?
plz explain me clearly?
Thanks & Regards,

HI,
Line Item and High Cardinality
When compared to a fact table, dimensions ideally have a small cardinality. However, there is an exception to this rule. For example, there are InfoCubes in which a characteristic document is used, in which case almost every entry in the fact table is assigned to a different document. This means that the dimension (or the associated dimension table) has almost as many entries as the fact table itself. We refer here to a degenerated dimension. In BW 2.0, this was also known as a line item dimension, in which case the characteristic responsible for the high cardinality was seen as a line item. Generally, relational and multi-dimensional database systems have problems to efficiently process such dimensions. You can use the indicators line item and high cardinality to execute the following optimizations:
Line Item Dimensions
Line item: This means the dimension contains precisely one characteristic. This means that the system does not create a dimension table. Instead, the SID table of the characteristic takes on the role of dimension table. Removing the dimension table has the following advantages:
¡ When loading transaction data, no IDs are generated for the entries in the dimension table. This number range operation can compromise performance precisely in the case where a degenerated dimension is involved.
¡ A table- having a very large cardinality- is removed from the star schema. As a result, the SQL-based queries are simpler. In many cases, the database optimizer can choose better execution plans.
Nevertheless, it also has a disadvantage: A dimension marked as a line item cannot subsequently include additional characteristics. This is only possible with normal dimensions.
High Cardinality
If your dim table size exceeds the 20% of your fact table then you can say it as high cardinality, for ex: your fact table contains 100 records and your customer dimension contains 25 records means this dim is with high cardinality. you can check with your client for the expected records for those dimensions or for the info objects which you define in one dimension. to know the sizes of the dimension tables and fact tables you can runa a program in SE37 SAP_INFOCUBE_DESIGNS, it displays all your info cubes fact and dimension tables with sizes, if any dimension exceeds the more than 10% to 20% it will be in RED.
It means that the dimension is to have a large number of instances (that is, a high cardinality). This information is used to carry out optimizations on a physical level in depending on the database platform. Different index types are used than is normally the case. A general rule is that a dimension has a high cardinality when the number of dimension entries is at least 20% of the fact table entries. If you are unsure, do not select a dimension having high cardinality.

Note: In SAP BW 3.0, the term line item dimension from SAP BW 2.0 must a) have precisely one characteristic and b) this characteristic must have a high cardinality. Before, the term line item dimension was often only associated with a). Hence the inclusion of this property in the above. Be aware that a line item dimension has a different meaning now than in SAP BW2.0.
SAP recommends that you use ODS objects, where possible, instead of InfoCubes for line items.

Regarding Line item dimensions

Hi all,
In our project for one of the cube 3 line item dimensions are maintained already , But still we have to create one more line item dimension for that infocube because the percentage for the one of the dimension and fact table is reached to 90%.So is it preferable to have more line item dimensions? If not please provide the alternative suggestion.
we maintained relative infoobects in dimensions.
Thanks & Regards,
Swarna.P

Hi,
If there is no other alternative to swap the Chars in between Dimensions, then go for Line Item Dimension. It won't be a problem if you have more then 2 or 3 Line Item Dimensions. I Used 4 Line Item Diemsions becasue the Ratio is crossing 90%. So Line Item is solution for my problem, first check the Chars in Dimensions and re-arrange it then check the Ratio, if it doesn't work then go for Line Item Dimension.
Thanks

Regarding Line Item Selection and product category

Hi Experts,
We are having a requirement in Line Item Selection in Oppurtunity.The requirement is that we need to display only the product categories belonging to that particular company(for eg Product Categories belonging to Company X) by restricting the display of product IDs.Please provide me some pointers on this as this is a high priority requirement.
Requirement:Line item selection of an opportunity will be at a 'X' category from the product hierarchy level.

Hi Amar,
You have to retrieve all you rproduct ids based on your criteria before the execution of the below step in your method.
result = qs->get_query_result( ).
Once you have all your product Id's then default your search criteria with your product id's using the below code.
ls_selection-attr_name = 'PRODUCT_ID'.
      ls_selection-sign = 'I'.
      ls_selection-option = 'EQ'.
      LOOP AT it_product INTO v_productid WHERE comt_product_id CP ls_search_criteria-low.
        CLEAR ls_selection-low.
        ls_selection-low = v_productid.
        CALL METHOD qs->add_selection_param
          EXPORTING
            iv_attr_name = ls_selection-attr_name
            iv_sign      = ls_selection-sign
            iv_option    = ls_selection-option
            iv_low       = ls_selection-low.
        CLEAR: v_productid,wa_result.
      ENDLOOP.
this code should be included in your event handler before calling get_query_result( ).
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Lakshmi.Y

Regarding Line items printing

Hello Experts,
                           I am developing a purchase requisition in that i am printing line items like
material no, material code, quantity. while looping the item table, below every material code i need to
display material text from a standard text object, text id like
10       material description       10000
          jkdhfjkdfghjkd
          jkxgdhvjkdhvjdkv
          nskdhvkldhvidskvkl
20      material description       10000
           jsdgcjkdsgc
           sbdjkcbdsjcd
but this material text has to extend till the end of the line,but it is not extending because i created a
text node under material description
suggest any alternate method pls

Hi,
Create table with more than 3 or 4 lines ans for main window you have to use two lines. One is for item details and other one is for material text (This line should not have any coloumns). Then it should print till the end.
Thanks,

      say,
           (01),
           (02),
           (15).
     But after pressing page down.
     The line item changes to (02). and values are get
     stored in (02) of first page.
    Here i am facing some difficulty.
   Is there any possibility to rectify these.
   If there please send me...

Regarding Line Items

Hi
I want to display customer wise open items in a report. In that I want to merge all the items by adding amounts and display it under document no. I used collect statement for this. Is there any other alternative to add the amounts and display them?
plz give me the suggestion ASAP.
Thanks in advance
venkat

Hi Venkata,
If you use
SORT <INTERNAL TABLE> BY <column name>
AT NEW 'column name'.
ENDAT.
but make sure that the 'Column name' should be at the first position other wise all data will display.... . AT NEW will not work.

Regarding sap smartforms line items

hi,
this is regarding line items in sap smartforms
when i am executing single line item i am getting out put
when i am executing with 2 line items i am getting error like bellow
You tried to switch to the next table column, but no other column exists. The current column is 9. The line type IT_GEN contains only 9 columns.
plz explain clearly

Hi,
if you are using template and the line type is for 1 to 2 lines in the template... make sure that column position you mention is equal to the number of cells in the line type... if the data is displayed in the second row the row position should start from 2 and and column position should lie between 1 and 9.
Just a suggestion ... its better to go with table node instead of going with template...

PCM 10 Line Item details (BOM model)

Hi there,
What is the purpose of the line item details. has anyone already used this dimension and can explain what for?
Regards.

Line Item Details are exactly that: details of your line items.
e.g. You decided to spread all salary costs by the driver nr. of FTE's to your Activities.
But the salary cost has multiple components: base salary, bonus, pension, etc.
Now, LineItemDetails allows you to keep that detail out of the main PCM cube. This limits the amount of driver assignments you have to maintain, and is also good for performance (smaller cube!).
However, you lose the traceability (CostObjectValues can only be viewed by LineItemValue, and not LineItemDetailValue). But then again, it's not allocated differently, so you can always lookup the components of salary in a different report (on LineItemDetailValue table).
You need a LineItemValue rule to push the detail out of the LineItemDetailValue table to LineItemValue in order for this to work, e.g. :
Function CellValue
RestrictDimension("Line Items","Salary")
CellValue = LineItemDetailValue(,,,"Salary")
End Function
