Report Amount Column Question

This is a silly question I'm sure but in terms of calculating the amount column in a report should you just calculate it by taking all the debit / credit balances for all P&L accounts or is there some other method typically used? Also can someone confirm the following?
P&L
debit balance = positive (expenses), credit balance = negative (revenue)
Edited by: Hari Nair Junior on Jun 5, 2009 1:17 AM

HI
P&L = Sales/ Revenue Minus Expenses
Yes , debit balance = positive (expenses), credit balance = negative (revenue.
Please note that you need to consider only P&L type account of a list of GL Balances . Other accounts will be of the Balancesheet . Where Debit will be Assets and Credit will be liabilities.
Hope this helps

Hide Amount column in COR3 cost analysis report

Hi Expert,
We need to hide the amount column in COR3 when user go to costs -> analysis. Because we don't want PP user to see the cost informant but the need to see the quantity for actual and plan to make sure goods issue is really complete. Would you please advise how to achive this purpose?
Thanks and Best Regards,

hi gimmo,
thanks for the quick reply. however, i think this is only possible if i am using a structure in my rows, because there i can specifically assign the appropriate calculated key figure to use. i need to use the hierarchy because we'd like to present the report down to the account number level.
thanks

Outstanding Amount Column in AR Report

Hai,
Please let me know from which table or view the data is getting populated in the Outstanding Amount column of the Ageing-7 Buckets report in Accounts Receivables.
Thanks in advance.
A.Mohammed Rafi.

check the Build_Customer_Select formula in ARXAGMW report.
It's checking from ar_adjustments_all_mrc_v and ar_payment_schedules_all_mrc_v.
The complete query is there which I believe it's quite complicated.. good luck :-)

Hi,
This type of question is almost impossible to answer over a forum .
You need to work with your business to understand what these requirements mean in terms of data modelling and relationships between object entities.
- Some of these metrics should be delegated to source, and calculated in the update routines to your datatargets (aka Cubes/Tables)
- Others could be resolved in the semantic layer (Universe)
- Other will be calculated in the presentation layer as local formulae or variables.
whilst BusinessObjects is a fairly intuitive tool, it may be unreasonble to expect a new learner to deliver an advanced report with conditional formatting.

Importing multiple amount columns from a single text file

I'm sure this question has been addressed many times. I have tried to search for an answer here and other areas, but I have not been able to find a clear answer yet. I am relatively new to HFM and FDM and thus do not have a lot of experience to fall back on. I am primarily a Planning/Essbase person. That being said, here is my question:
I have a data source (text file) containing two amount columns that I need to load to HFM via FDM. One amount column consists of Average Exchange Rates and the other amount column consists of Ending Exchange Rates. I have been asked to develop a process to load both columns of data to HFM using a single process (one Import Format). I've been told this is possible by writing an Import DataPump script. It seems that I would need to create a temporary record set based on the original source file and modify it so that it contained a duplicate set of records where the first set would be used for the Average Rate and the second set would be used for the Ending Rate. This would be a piece of cake using SQL against a relational source, but that's obviously not the case here. I do have some experience with writing FDM scripts but from an IF... Then... Else... standpoint based on metadata values.
If there is anyone out there that has time to help me with this, it would be most appreciated.
Thanks,

This is relatively easy to achieve with a single import script associated with the Account source field (assuming AverageRate and EndRate are accounts in your application) in your import format.
Essentially your first amount say AverageRate would be set as the default field for Amount and these values would be loaded as if it were a single value file. For the second value, EndRate you would have to insert the second value directly into the FDM work table which is the temporary table populated when data is imported from a file during the import process. The example code snippet below suld gve you guidance on how this is done
'Get name of temp import work table
strWorkTableName = RES.PstrWorkTable
'Create temp table trial balance recordset
Set rsAppend = DW.DataAccess.farsTable(strWorkTableName)
If IsNumeric(EndRateFieldValue Ref Goes Here) Then
          If EndRateFieldValue Ref Goes Here <> 0 Then
               ' Create a new record, and supply it with its field values
               rsAppend.AddNew
               rsAppend.Fields("DataView") = "YTD"
               rsAppend.Fields("PartitionKey") = RES.PlngLocKey
               rsAppend.Fields("CatKey") = RES.PlngCatKey
               rsAppend.Fields("PeriodKey") = RES.PdtePerKey
               rsAppend.Fields("CalcAcctType") = 9
               rsAppend.Fields("Account") = "EndRate"
               rsAppend.Fields("Amount") = EndRateFieldValue Ref
               rsAppend.Fields("Entity")=DW.Utilities.fParseString(strRecord, 16, 1, ",")
               rsAppend.Fields("UD1") = DW.Utilities.fParseString(strRecord, 16, 2, ",")
               rsAppend.Fields("UD2") = DW.Utilities.fParseString(strRecord, 16, 3, ",")
               rsAppend.Fields("UD3") = DW.Utilities.fParseString(strRecord, 16, 16, ",")
               'Append the record to the collection
               rsAppend.Update
          End If
End If
'Close recordset
rsAppend.close
In addition the return value of this Import Script should be "AverageRate" i.e. name of ht eaccount associated with the first value field. The NZP expression also needs to be put on the Amount field in the import format to ensure that the EndRate Field value is always processed even if the value of AverageRate is zero.

Multiple Amount Columns

I'm setting up an import format for a text file (to load data into Essbase) that has more than one column with an amount in it. e.g. column 1 is expense dollar amount, and column 5 is hours. the expense gets loaded to the account shown in column 2, and the hours in column 5 get loaded to an account called "Hours".
I have another flat file, with about 12 amount columns, each loading to a different stat account. Same situation.
(before you tell me that I should use a load rule and load to essbase, I know, but we're not doing it that way...)
So my question is, how do I set up the import format to load more than one data column, where I know specifically what the account for the second columns is? I don't mind having to do some scripting, but I might need and example to follow.
thanks.

Awesome SH, Thanks.
I did actually try the datapump approach and your thoughts agree with what I was thinking.
The doc is a bit thin on the following, would you validate or correct me here?:
I create a new datapump script "MyDataPump",
The RES object (containing properties such as location key(PlngLocKey) and category key(PlngCatkey)) is valid in the context of the MyDataPump function
The DW object from which I will access the table [DW.DataAccess.farsTable(strWorkTableName)] is valid in the contet oof the MyDataPump Function
That all being ok, the one thing I still cannot figure out is where I get the name of the table where I'm loading the data (strWorkTableName)? Its passed as an arg in the Integration scripts, but not in the Datapump Script.
Aslo, since I'm updating the table with the data for this extra amount field myself, what value do I return from MyDataPump, and how is it used by the import process that calls the script (IOW since I inserted the record myself, I don't really want FDM to do anything with this field after the script is run.

How to use Value Variable in Report Painter Column defined as Formula

Hi Gurus,
In report painter, how can I add one field (exchange rate) in selection screen, so that user can provide the exchange rate to be used, then execute the report, the exchange rate will used to multiple local currency amount.
The reason for this is we want use provided exchange rate to convert the amount from once currency to the other currency.
Alternatively I am studying the functionality of "Value Variable" and found that I can perform the task from this. I have created the value variable but when I am using the variable in Report Painter columns as "&ZVALVAR", system is giving me error. I read the help and it states that use the variable with "&" and do it as it is mentioned.
Can anybody suggest what I need to do to make it workable.
Thanks

I did try using the presentation variable, but that does not work too. I am setting session variable in the dashboard prompt (select 'request variable'). When I use presentation variable, it hard codes the value of the variable name.
sql is
select date from work_order where facility = @{p_facility}
the physical log sql is
select date from work_order where facility = 'p_facility'

Two Key figures in Report Painter column?

Dear Experts,
We have some company codes with group currency setup and others without this. I have created a report painter report with table GLT0. I want ability to produce a consolidated report for all the company codes.
However, when I define the report column, I can only select one basic key figure in the column viz. HSL - Local currency or KSL - Group currency for example. In my report I have selected HSL since majority of the company codes report on local currency.
Is there a way that the program can be told to change the basic key figure during report execution to KSL - Grp Curr for select company codes only?
Or is there a way to have two basic key figures in a report painter column? I know I sound foolish on this question. But still I ask this.
Any thoughts, pls share with me. Thanks.
Vishal Thakur

You are right Sue. But unfortunately way back in the 90's when our company implemented SAP, those company codes did not activate the 2nd LC as USD. Thus, these companies only have figures updated in the 1st LC which is USD.
Subsequently, we acquired new companies overseas and then for these co's we switched on the 2nd LC as USD with the 1st LC as the country specific currency.

Amount column in customer receivable aging

Dear All,
Please let me know how can I add the 'amount' (doctotal of invoice or incoming payment) in the customer receivable Aging's 'Detailed Receivable aging report' category's default system template. this column is there in the 'customer statement report (one page per customer'but not visiblle in detailed receivable aging report. it is shown as text field in that report and no system variable or database field is linked to it. it is not shown even on the screen. how can I get that field? it is mandatory for me to show the 'amount' column along with the balance due column. please help.
thanks,

Hi Binita,
It is not possible,
because customer receivable aging Report PLD is Hard Coded so you can not add any fields in that PLD.

Different format template for each amount column?

Greetings.
Is it possible to assign diffrent format template for each amount column in Excel workbooks?
I'll explain a bit more specific.
Suppose there's a BW report to Excel as below.
      column1   column2   column3
row1 111,111   222,222   333,333
row2 111,111   222,222   333,333
row3 111,111   222,222   333,333
All columns are amounts, so the assigned format templates are all 'SAPBEXstdData'. Here, the needs is that each column have the format of their own, such as 'Centered, large font size, bold, red color, etc'.
I found out in SAP help portal that I can create workbook templates which include custom format templates, such as OurColumn1Template. I also found I can use the workbook templates when opening BW queries. But it doesn't seem possible to automatically specify format template OurColumn1Template is for column1 when creating a new Excel report from BW query or refreshing a query from a Excel report.
How I can control which format template is assigned for which column? No way?
By the way, we are on BW3.5.
Thank you,
T.Yamagiwa

Oh my, I found out! It's easy, in a sense.
We use MS Office 2003, so in the first place we need to change security setting about macro, by the SAP note below.
Note 574596 - BEXAnalyzer SAPBEXOnRefresh is missing on Office XP
https://websmp110.sap-ag.de/~form/handler?_APP=01100107900000000342&_EVENT=REDIR&_NNUM=574596&_NLANG=E
Now that we've got SAPBEXOnRefresh module in a newly created Excel workbook, the rest we need to do is copy the SAPBEXOnRefresh module to the existing workbook, then code the module, like below. (this is only doing left-justification)
Sub SAPBEXonRefresh(queryID As String, resultArea As Range)
    Columns("I:I").Select
    With Selection
        .HorizontalAlignment = xlLeft
    End With
End Sub
I should have search the forum more carefully...hope somebody will find this post kind of useful in the future.

About settlement, asset master data's amount column value

Dear Experts,
I build an aseet master data : A (the amount column's value is 0 in asset master data)
Then, I build an asset purchase order assign to A , after I do GR, A's amount column's value change to 1.
But if as follows,
I build two asset master data : B and C ,
B's asset catalog is 167200(prepay for equipment) , c's asset catalog is 153100 (normal fixed asset)
Then , I build an asset purchase order assign to B, then do GR , B has amount 1, and then ,
I do t-code: AIAB , settlement B to C , I found B's amount column's value still show 1 , and C is still 0 ,
but the asset value certainly has transfer from B to C......
why B's amount column's value doesn't be changed?
I can't figured out.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Best Regards,
Yacoa
Edited by: Yacoa Chen on Mar 15, 2011 9:14 AM

Hi
If B is still showing value - It means values are not settled
After AIAB - You need to run AIBU to settle the values.. Did you run AIBU??

Hints on Interactive Report's column headers

Hi,
I've used +"< spa.n title = "Hint" > Header < / span>"+ (the first 'spa.n' is so it doesn't interpret as code) to put hints on my report columns headers but found that, when using interactive report's tools, the column names that appear obviously include the "code".
Is there any way to put hints on interactive report columns and still maintain the proper title(in this case Header) when using the tools?
Thank you,
Marc

Hi,
Thank you for the tip Ghoulies. The spaces I put trying to make it read as text. The code works fine, it actually shows the Header in the report's column and the hint appears on mouse-over.
What I mean is, when using interactive report's tools, such as "Select Columns", The <span title="hint">header</span> {code} appears as the column name in the +display / not display+ boxes.
Is there any other way to put hints on Interactive reports so that this doesn't happen?

Report Template, Column Template, Column Template Condition

I have a template, Standard Revenue from Standard, I have cloned for a Classic report.
Application ###>Shared Componets>Templates>Edit Report Template
Column Template 1 looks like:
<td#ALIGNMENT# headers="#COLUMN_HEADER_NAME#" class="t1data_revenue">#COLUMN_VALUE#</td>
I have set Column Template 1 Condition to:
"Use based on PL/SQL expresiion"
I have tried several expression in "Column Template 1 Expression" - last one is:
case
when #COLNUM# <= 2 then false
when #COLUMN_VALUE# < 0 then true
else false
end case;
I am trying to use the value in "Column Template 2" when to value of the #COLUMN_VALUE# < 0
where "Column Template 2" is :
<td#ALIGNMENT# headers="#COLUMN_HEADER_NAME#" class="t1data_revenue_negative">#COLUMN_VALUE#</td>
I get the following error when I run the page:
ORA-01403: no data found
and
ERR-1025 Error processing PLSQL expression. case when #COLNUM# <= 2 then false when #COLUMN_VALUE# < 0 then true else false end case;
Any help will be appreciated.
thank you,

Hi,
That's actually easier. See: [http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=267:60]
The SQL for both reports is:
SELECT EMPNO, ENAME, NVL(SAL,0) SAL, NVL(COMM,0) COMM
FROM EMP
ORDER BY EMPNOThe SAL and COMM columns have been formatted using:
999G999G999G999G990D00For the Row Template, the Row Template 1 setting contains an empty space (you have to have something in there otherwise Apex adds back in a default row containing five cells!). The condition for this is:
TO_NUMBER('#COMM#','999G999G999G999G990D00') < 100The template will see the data as a string, so we use the same number format to convert that string back into a number and compare this to 100. If we didn't use formatting on the numbers and we are sure that every row contained a number (hence the use of NVL()), then you could use:
#COMM# < 100Row Template 2 contains the format for the rows that need displaying:
<tr>
<td class="t18Data">#1#</td>
<td class="t18Data">#2#</td>
<td class="t18Data" style="text-align:right">#3#</td>
<td class="t18Data" style="text-align:right">#4#</td>
</tr>and is unconditional.
The only other settings on the Row Template are the Before Rows:
<table class="t18Standard" style="border-collapse:collapse; border:1px solid black;">
<tr>
<th class="t18ReportHeader">Empno</th>
<th class="t18ReportHeader">Ename</th>
<th class="t18ReportHeader" style="text-align:right">Sal</th>
<th class="t18ReportHeader" style="text-align:right">Comm</th>
</tr>and After Rows:
</table>Of course, you will note that the record counters at the bottom still show the number of records in both reports - as the SQL still outputs the same data, this doesn't change.
