Regarding time-dependant

Hi all :
There is an attribute called 'time-dependant' in the item line of Attribute page while creating Characteristic,
****************************the sap description****************
If they are time-dependent, attributes can be different. If only one attribute is time-dependent, then the master data table is also time-dependent. There can, nevertheless, be time-independent attributes for this characteristic.
what does it mean by 'master data table is also time dependant' ?
I don't quite understand when it is needed to be marked when not? could you
please give an example ?
Thank you very much!

Hi,
Suppose you have infoObject Region and attribute sales rep.
Now for time jan to March sales rep belongs to Region 1 and for time April to May it belongs to Region 2.
So you make it time dependent.
Means its value will vary based on time.
You will have two more infoObjects added timefrom and timeto to the attribute table.

Help with a query regarding time dependent display of Plan/Actual data

Hello,
Let me try to explain what my problem is:
I have a query that shows plan and actual sales figures on a timeline. Plan and actual data is identified by 0VERSION (P01 for Plan; P00 for Actual).
0CALMONTH and Sales key figure is in rows. 0VERSION is in collums.
The output looks as follows (simplified):
CalYYYY/MM............P01....P00
2006.09......Sales........90.....100
2006.10......Sales......100.......95
2006.11......Sales........90........0
2006.12......Sales........95........0
So far so good! But users aren't satisfied with that. They want only one collumn with sales figures. For past months (< 2006.11) they want to see actual figures (Version P00). For current and future month (>= 2006.11) they want to see plan figures (Version P01). And this only in one single collumn.
So the output should look this way:
CalYYYY/MM..........P00/P01
2006.09......Sales......100
2006.10......Sales.... ...95
2006.11......Sales........90
2006.12......Sales........95
Is there any way/workaround to accomplish this?
Your help will be very appreciated!

Ulrich

Hi,
For this what you can try is , have the two Restricted Key Figs the way you have right now, but Hide them. Then Create a Third Formula Key Fig, in which you can put a Boolean Logic :
(FV > 11) * Act KF +(FV<= 11)*Plan KF
Where FV is a Formula Variable which takes on the Value from Month (1 for Jan , 2 for Feb etc)
Try something on these lines.

Regarding performance issue in time dependent hierarchie.

hai
we are loading time dependent hierarchies from flatfile to bw,it is weekely load,we have nearly one million records loaded,we got an issues regarding change of these hierarchies timely.when ever there occurs a change in hierarchy a new row is added to the table,it is degrading the performance,can any one of you please suggest how to over come performance related issues regarding time dependent hierarchies.

hello deven,
if you are only focusing on your application's performance
on the aspect of usability i.e. less waiting time, fast
response UI, i would personally suggest you to use AJAX.
put some processing part on the browser side and making
data retrieval from MI asynchronous... this way, your user
don't have to wait for all data to be presented, but rather
could work on the data presented in pieces (i.e. asynchronously).
anyway try googling for AJAX...

Data not uploading in Time dependent Master data Infoobject

Hello All,
I have a master data infoobject for HR entity and have to load data from PSA to that info object.
The HR entity infoobject already have sone data like below:
HR Entity
Version
Date from
Date To
x
A
01.07.2013
31.12.9999
x
A
19.04.2013
30.06.2013

01.01.2012
31.08.2012

01.01.1000
31.12.2011
Now the data in PSA is as follows:
HR Entity
Start Date
End Date
X
01.01.2012
18.12.2013
Once I loaded this data to the infoobject, i can not see this value which is the latest value of this HR entity.
Can somebody please explain how the data gets loaded in the time dependent master data infoobject and why this entry is not getting loaded in the info object.
Regards
RK

Hi,
did you activate master data after your load?
You can check also version 'M' records and see if your record is there.
The load went green?
The problem is, that your entry overlaps all exisitng time intervals, which can't be deleted or merged as there may be dependent transactional data. You have first to delete the transactional data for this entity.
Then you can delete the time-dependent data and reoload it from your PSA.
BW will build then correct time intervals.
The easiest is to change the time interval in PSA, see example below:
At the moment the time interval is not accepted. But you can add time intervalls before 31.12.2011 and after 01.07.2013, Then system will create remaiing time intervals, e.g. your new record is:
HR Entity
Start Date
End Date
X
01.08.2013
18.12.2013
Result will be:
HR Entity
Version
Date from
Date To
x
A
19.12.2013
31.12.9999
x

01.08.2013

Time-dependent Vendor Master & Handling Special Characters

Hi,
I need to extract time-dependent Vendor Master.
1. The data source for 0VENDOR does not have fields to hold the valid date range.
2. Does the Master data in R/3 for Vendors will hold the valid date range?
3. The text for 0VENDOR provides time-dependent, but how to map the valid from and valid to fields?
Handling Special Characters:
We are trying to extract data from Legacy system via DB Connect. The item text field consists of special characters. Of course in BW customization we can specify all the special characters to consider. But the special character we observed is 'square' symbol i.e. 'new line character' in Oracle. We are updating this to an ODS object. When looked at error log, observed that green light for the number of records transferred and updated, but finally when it load into ODS object and activates popping up the error message saying 'could not recognize special character'.
Please help me getting the 2 issues resolved.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sudhakar.

Hi Everyone,
Thanks for inputs on Special characters issue...
Finally resolved with below piece of code in the start routine:
DATA: FLAG,
 OFF TYPE I,
 LEN TYPE I VALUE 1,
 ALLOWED_CHAR(95) VALUE
'0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ`~!@#$%^&*()-_=+ ' &
'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz:;<>,.?/|\{}[]"'''.
CONSTANTS: C_CHAR VALUE '-'.
LOOP AT DATA_PACKAGE WHERE NOT /BIC/ZI_DESC IS INITIAL .
 DO.
 IF DATA_PACKAGE-/BIC/ZI_DESC CN ALLOWED_CHAR.
 REPLACE SECTION OFFSET SY-FDPOS LENGTH LEN OF
 DATA_PACKAGE-/BIC/ZI_DESC WITH C_CHAR.
 FLAG = SPACE.
 ELSE.
 FLAG = 'X'.
 ENDIF.
 IF FLAG = 'X'.
 EXIT.
 ENDIF.
 ENDDO.
 MODIFY DATA_PACKAGE.
ENDLOOP.
if abort is not equal zero, the update process will be canceled
ABORT = 0.
I have seen the link sent by 'Eugene Khusainov' today. Thought putting my piece of code that may help others...

Delivery cost in scheduling agreement having time dependent condition

Hi experts,
We have one peculiar requirement.
We have palnt at indonesia. We are doing import there from india.
Our requirement is as follows.
1. We should use scheduling agreement with time dependent conditions. Because we want to track the price changes and sometimes we want to retro pricing effect and revaluate it.
2. We want to add importers vat and import tax.
3. But those tax amount should not get added into inventory
4. During MIRO it should get accounted to vendor.
We could succeed this by removing "Time dependend condition" check in document type config.
But our client is definitely required the point no 1.
But when we activate time dependent condition check, during MIRO those conditions are not appearing. But if you remove that check, it is appearing in MIRO accounting.
Can any one suggest suitable solution?
Or SAP MIRO will not permit this scenario?
regards,
K.Sundaresan.

delivery cost will not work if u remove the tick Time dependend condition for SA
SAP MIRO will not permit this scenario
so u will have to decide what is more important to u and act accordingly
Solution will be u ask client what is mor imp for there company
as SAP will not support MIRO for deliver for time dependent condition
I had a talk with SAP on this and they have told that
SAP will not support MIRO for deliver for time dependent condition
AS in Case of imports in india we need to do MIRO before GR
hope this hel;sp

How to create time dependant master data table in R/3?

Hi gurus,
I am new to BW.I try to execute the 'Time dependant Attribute' into BW.in my scenario my source system must give me the data like "salesrep ID,Manager ID,Date to,Date from,Sales region". I like to know how to define this master data in SAP R/3(Source system)?. Give me the steps to create master data table in R/3.
Manager may change periodically.even i need to maintain all the changes in R/3.
Thanks & Regards,

built-in type method means.,
there is no need to create data element and domain objects seperately for each and every field of the table which ever you are creating, system will implicitly fix the size based on the data type you selected....

Schudling agreement with time dependent excise base value taking wrongly.

Sub: in migo excise base amount is not changing as per the scheduling agreement type LP ( time dependent ).
I have created the scheduling agreement type LP with time dependent.
I have maintained the price value in two validated period i.e
01/07/08 to 31/07/08 price is 100 rs.
01/08/08 to 31/08/08 price is 200 rs.
I have maintained the delivery schedule on
15/07/08 of quantity 1 nos.
When I am doing the goods receipts for the scheduling agreement on
Document date I am giving 15/07/08.
Posting date I am giving 15/07/08.
I am giving the posting date in the excise also 15/07/08.
After item ok.
When I will the excise base value it is taking 200 and also excise duty is also calculating on 200.
When I will post the document
The stock account and GR/IR account is taking 100 only
And excise duty is posting for rs: 200 only
Why the excise base value is not changing as per the validity period.
What setting I have to do the change the excise base value as per the validity date maintained in the time dependent .
regards
jrp

Hi
I was wondering in J1ID there is validity from date only no to date, Pls tell where you have maintained excise base amount based on from to period.
In J1ID if you maintain any new accesable value for the later date it will consider that.

BPM Collect Message dependent AND time dependent

Hi
I have a IDOC to file scenario where I have to collect all the IDOC until I receive a stop IDOC.
Once the End collect IDOC is received I have to do a n:1 transformation and write the file to the FTP.
The problem is, at times the IDOC which is suppose to end the collect loop gets stuck in ECC R3 system.
So Im wondering If I can do something like say, we have two options inside BPM both time dependent and message dependent.
In this case which ever comes first (the Stop/END IDOC or the Time say 3 mins) will end the collect process.
Can anyone pls suggest will it work and if so what are the additional steps I have to introduce in the BPM.
Pls advice.
Right Now these are the steps in the BPM Collect Message dependent.
1. Block (I have used correlation)
2. Fork inside the block
3. Fork branch one has a look with end condition as 1=1; then a receive step and a container operation inside the loop.
4. Fork branch two receives the end collect idoc.
5. Transform step outside the block.
6. Send step.
Thanks
Prasanna

Hi Abhishek/ Raj
Thanks!!
I have done the changes let me confirm after testing it once. In the mean time I have one more question regarding the same BPM, as I have mentioned in the first post, the BPM contains the 6 steps mentioned but the the 6th step is inside another block (Block2).
The steps 1 to 4 are inside Block1.
The step 5 ie the transformation step (n:1) is in between the Blocks ie not inside any block (hope im not confusing).
The second block is for sending the file to the FTP and based on the acknowledgement (transport level) I have to send an email.
So Block2 already contains a deadline branch, it is to wait for the positive acknowledgement for say 3 mins and send the error email if incase we dont get positive ack within the time limit.
My doubt is,
1. Is it the only way (having two block and two wait steps) to achieve this.
(one block for collecting and one block for ack)
2. Is there any way I can have a single Block in the BPM insted of two. If so what are the steps.
Having single block, Will improve anything??
Thanks
Prasanna

Changing to time-dependent hierarchie of 0CUSTOMER

Dear Experts,
I like to change 0CUSTOMER to "entire hierarchie is time-dependent" without losing any existing hierarchy or data. Is that somehow possible? I tried changing the Radio Button, but could not activate the InfoObject;
"The Hierarchy Table /BI0/HCUSTOMER must be converted incompatibly with an activation of characteristic 0CUSTOMER (changes to the key in the table). Table /BI0/HCUSTOMER contains data. Parts of this data were lost in the conversion."
I already checked the whole forum and the SAP help, but could not find a suitable note.
Can someone plase help?
Thank you very much in advance

Time-dependent hierarchy in query selection screen

Hello all
I am running query where input selection has following fields -
Fiscal year variable ( e.g. i can enter 2008)
Period variable ( e.g. i can enter 12)
Hierarchy Node variable
The hierarchy is time-dependent. I want that if I enter year and period as 2008 , 12 then
my hierachy node selction pop-up should show me only that hierarchy structure which was valid in 12.2008.
But my hierarchy selection always shows me hierachy structure that is valid on current date.
Can anyone help me on how to achieve this?
I have already coded keydate variable based on fisc year and period. But then how to make use of this key date variable so as to get correct selection of hier?
Regards,
Sanjyot

Hi Marcio
RSRHIERARCHYVIRT is for maintaining time-characteristics hierarchy.
My hierarchy is based on Consolidation Groups and Units.
But the hier is time-dependent.
So I want that when selection pop-up opens for a hier node , it should show me correct hier depending on year and period i have enetered.

Selection of time-dependent hierarchy variables after selection of time

Hi guys,
I'm having the following question regarding the selections of variables in a BEx Query:
I need to select e.g. a position out of a hierarchy which is time-dependent. In the selection screen I'm only able to select a certain date but not the key date that I need for the hierarchy. Now I would like to replace the needed key date for the hierarchy out of the date value. Having the parameters for the hierarchy selected I would like to select a position of the right hierarchy.
My idea is to select the date first:
Date: 05.2009
In the next pop up window the hierarchy key date is replaced by the date:
Date: 05.2009 --> key date: 05.2009
Now I can select a position for the right hierarchy.
Is a two-stage selection possible? How can a variable be replaced and simultaneously serve in the selection of object with a hierarchy?
Thanks in advance!
