Report Painter - Characteristic cannot be combined with key figures
Hi,
I have added a new field (ZZABTEI) to the report structure CCSS and using that field as a characteristic in the report. But when I execute the report, it is giving the error "Characteristic ZZABTEI cannot be combined with key figures". Can anyone help me to solve this issue.
Thank you,
Rekha
There no code for this. I had to add the new field to CCSS structure. Then there were some configuration to be done. Then this message is got when the report in the report painter is executed. The details of this error message is as follows :
Characteristic ZZABTEI cannot be combined with key figures
Message no. GR410
Diagnosis
Characteristic ZZABTEI is being used in a report with a key figure that does not match this characteristic.
System Response
The system cancels generation.
Procedure
Check the report definition: the key figures used must be compatible with characteristic ZZABTEI. For examples of useful combinations of characteristics and key figures, see the SAP standard reports.
Technical explanation: The Report Writer table assigned to the report is defined as a view with multiple database tables (somewhat similar to Report Writer table CCSS) and a key figure used in the report refers to a database table which does not contain characteristic ZZABTEI.
Example 1 for table CCSS: If the 'cost' or 'quantity' key figures are used in a report (referring to tables COSP and COSS), you cannot use the 'Statistical key figure' (only occurs in table COSR) characteristic in the rows. On the contrary, using the 'Cost element' (tables COSP and COSS) characteristic is not permitted for the 'Statistical quantity' (table COSR) key figure.
Example 2 for table CCSS: If a report only displays line item data (key figures IE... or PE...), you cannot use the 'PERBL' characteristic, because it is only valid for summary data. You have to use the 'PERIO' characteristic for line item data.
Thank you,

Error GR410: characteristic cannot be combined with key figures
Hi,
My problem is in Report Painter.
I need to add selection by trading partner (or by vendor) in report 6OBU-001. For this Iu2018ve modified reporting table RWCOOM, in order to make available characteristic RASSC in the library 6O2.
Iu2019ve added Trading partner in General selection of my own report (copy of 6OBU-001), but RP gives an error message: u201CCharacteristic RASSC cannot be combined with key figures. Check the report definition: the key figures used must be compatible with characteristic RASSC. For examples of useful combinations of characteristics and key figures, see the SAP standard reports.u201D
Any opinions are truly appreciated.
AntonI read this note before, but I still don't know how to write a ABAP code.
I need information from table COEP like sum of qunatity or costs. I have this information for Cost Elements and Orders in CCSS but I don't have for Materials. -

Some chart types cannot be combined with other chart types
Good morning,
I am working on a MacBook Air (purchased Oct 2009) running Lion. While working in Excel 2011, I encounter the error "Some chart types cannot be combined with other chart types. Please select a different chart type." I am highlighting 46 cells to create a marked line graph. There are no other charts in the file. I called Microsoft support who told me they had not heard of this problem in Excel (only in PowerPoint). I also took it to an Apple Store Genius, who was unable to solve the problem, which is understandable, given that he does not work for Microsoft.
To try to resolve this issue, I have recopied the data to a new spreadsheet, re-typed all the data to a new spreadsheet, and deleted plist files. When I sent it to a different computer (which was running Excel 2011 and Snow Leopard), I could make the figure but I cannot edit the figure or add data on my laptop.
Any suggestions that you have would be much appreciated,
Signed,
One stressed out PhD student who desperately needs Excel to workHi, folks.
Apparently, when using Excel 2011 and running Lion, if the tab names in excel contain a period (.), this error occurs. I removed the periods and now I can graph again. I hope this helps anyone else who may experience this problem. -
Query on 0IC_C03 with key figures 0valstckqty and 0valstckval
Hello Gurus,
I want to make a query on 0IC_C03 with key figures 0valstckqty and 0valstckval for a single month eg October 2011. I have 0plant in rows. The problem is that I just see the key figures for planst which have movements in October 2011.
I dont want choose all months in global filter to get key figures for all plants.
How can I solve this problem?
JesperJesper-
You're looking at a "Transactional" info cube. That means that the query you create will ONLY provide data for a selected period in which data exists. Plants with no movements will not appear. That's how it's supposed to work.
Now... you can create a hidden selection in your columns. For example:
First column (hidden)... 0valstckqty + 0valstckval. No other restrictions
Second column (visible) 0valstckqty restricted to the date range of interest
Third column (visible) 0valstckval restricted to the date range of interest
be sure to NOT suppress Zero rows.
Plants that never had a transaction will, however, not appear at all. The query will also take a long time to execute because it's extracting all data.
The best solution is to explain to your user that it's working the way it's supposed to.. if a plant has no values then there were no transactions. -
Report Painter Characteristic Ledger does not exist
Hi Experts,
I am trying to create a report GRR1 and for Plan Budget Report in Rows i have given SALES, REVENUE,COST and TOTAL and when i have defined the Columns with period 1,2,3,4,5,6..12 I got the following message when executing the Report.
Characteristic Ledger does not exist and Characteristic Record Type does not exist
Characteristic Ledger does not exist
Message no. GR655
Diagnosis
The characteristic must (message type E) or should (message type W) be addressed in the report definition. This means that a set must/should exist for the characteristic in the definition of the report rows, report columns, or report selection.
For performance reasons, it is important that you limit the value ranges of those key fields located at the start of the database key as much as possible.
Procedure
Define a set for this characteristic in the report.
Note
In Controlling (Table CCSS), different characteristics (cost center, order, project, etc.) are portrayed internally with a common technical characteristic, "Object". In reports, either a specific characteristic such as cost center must be used, or the characteristic "Object" must be used directly. If this is not the case, an error message appears saying that the "Object" characteristic is missing.
Also i would like to know how do i define the selection criteria for executing the report
Please advice a solution for the same
Regards
RahulThe reason could be having (1) invalid characteristics value or (2) have not properly defined the General Data Section, most likely (1) in this case.
Either way, go to t-code GRR2 to change the report.
In the report row or column, is there an Element (the labels in red color) that does not make sense?
It could still have the correct label names, but double-click and go into "Record Types (from your error message)". Be sure to have the correctly define values attached to each Characteristics.
If all above seems okay, try (From top bar, select) Edit --> General Data Section. Think of this section as the "header data" of the report.
Good luck

Characteristic as an Attribute of Key Figure BPS-BCS
Hi,
We're endeavoring to integrate BPS and BCS data for planning. Our issue is that our BPS data is COPA-like in that it's Key Figure-based. We are not using 0ACCOUNT. Our BCS data will be using FS Items.
My thought would be that this integration would be made easier if a Characteristic (FS Item) could be an Attribute of a Key Figure. I wouldn't need to then map and copy the data, I could just report it differently. The Business has agreed that a one-to-one relationship could exist between a Key Figure and a Cons Account.
I assume I could use a big FOX formula to convert the data in BPS, or write an external program...but those options could be difficult to maintain in the long-term.
Any suggestions?
Much appreciated.
LROne additional point...we're considering the sotrage of this data in a transactional Cube that is separate from the primary BCS and BPS Cubes. We'd want to set it up to be able to create a Multi-Cube with the Actual data in BCS.

Problems with Key Figure and Drilldown
Good day to you, experts. Several of our reports are required to include a key figure which shows a percentage value. The Query must show something similar to the following (please ignore the "-"):
Total Products---Products Sold--
Percentage sold
Shop A / Jan--5020--
40%
Shop B / Jan--2828--
100%
Shop C / Jan--10030--
30%
TOTALS / Jan--17878--
56.66%
We can see this information for all months. As you can see, it shows the "Shop" Characteristic as well as the Calendar Month (or year, or year/month). The information is updated monthly. The percentage total is calculated as average.
So far so good. The problem is that whenever I take away the Calendar Month characteristic (in order to see this information summarized and not detailed by month), the "Percentage Sold" Key Figure (which is loaded along with the rest of the information, not calculated in the Query) shows strange data, something like this:
Total Products---Products Sold--
Percentage sold
Shop A--250140--
220%
Shop B--108100--
454%
Shop C--466180--
150%
TOTALS--824420--
274.66%
So as long as I keep the most detailed information on the table, it is displayed correctly, and as soon as I take away any of the details (it also happens with the Shop characteristic), the percentage sold displays wrong data. I have tried displaying individual values differently. I also tried using a formula to calculate the percentage sold, which appeared to solve this issue, but after testing it I found that the data on "TOTALS" was incorrect both with and without the monthly detail. This issue has become quite urgent as we are supposed to publish these reports very soon.
Any ideas for solving this issue?Hi, thanks for the quick reply. I forgot to mention that. As I wrote before, this percentage is given to us directly in the file that is loaded on the system, but since there were problems when taking away a characteristic from the table, I created a formula which should give us the same data. The formula is Percentage = "Products Sold / Total Products" (I used the Percentage part operator, so it looks like this "Products Sold %A Total Products"). The TOTALS value is validated with the person in charge of giving us the file to load.
A sample data record:
DATE--SHOP_ID-DEPT-PRODUCTS-SOLD---PCT.

Reporting Agent - Print Layout - Issue in Displaying Key Figures in Rows
Hi,
We have issue while printing reports using Reporting Agent. As part of Query Definition we have Structure of key figures in Rows. But while creating Reporting Agent , in Print Layout option Under Table Rows we are not able to drag Structure of key fig.
What could be the solution to this issue. How can we use key figures in rows?
Thanks in advance.
SamirHi,
putting product in the rows will slove the issues as the unit cost depends upon the prdoduct and therefore it will uniquely identify each of the material and then it will get multiplies with the qty and therefore you will get the correct result.
this kind of issue you will always face when you are going to multiply cost with the Qty and as the cost differ with the individual material.
Also putting material into the rows will cause the no. of rows to increase as all the materials will show up in the individual rows for the particular month.
Also you can make a claculated key fgure for the multiplication and use before aggregation.
But for that your both the key figures should be in the same cube i.e. in the same rows or the before aggregation will not work you will not even get an option of before aggregation in the CKF if the key figures belong to two different cubes.
Since your qty and cost are coming from two different cubes before aggreagtion will not work here.
And if you do before aggregation then you report will become quite slow as it will do all the multiplication anf then will bring the result.
So it depends on your requirement and your design how to proceed.
Hope it helps
Thanks -
Query with key figures on separte lines
Hello bw experts. I have a query question. I am building a query with several structures going down the left side and I want two sets of key figures going across (jan through Dec). That is easy but what I cannot figure out is how to get key figure 1 to be on line 1 jan through dec and key figure 2 to be on line 2 (jan through dec) I want key figure 1 to show on the line with plan and key figure 2 to show on the line with actual
Jan Feb Mar Apr etc. etc.
plan
actual
Thanks in advance for any and all help
JimHi,
When you go for the Cell Editor option, this particular scenario would be pretty easy to achieve and apart from why don't you try for putting the month field in Column and the Plan & Actual Structures in the Rows.

Problems with key figure quantities between ODS and PSA
We have some key figures which are part of the purchasing transactional load. The key figure in some cases is showing the correct total value for the ordering unit in the PSA but incorrect in the ODS (there is no transformation logic). This seems to happen when an ordering unit exists but a base unit of measure does not exist? Has anyone had similar and how to resolve? Thanks

Upload Flat file to Infocube with key figures of type FLOAT
Dear Experts,
I need your help in the following issue : I want to upload a flat file(csv) to an infocube. Two of the key figures are of type FLOAT. In the flat file the amount are in the format number with 4 decimals. eg 0.0445. When I upload the data, although I have NO errors, the key figures show value 0. (BW system is 3.5).
How should I declare these numbers in the excel file?
Thanks in advance for your help

DinaProblem solved. I just uploaded the file first to a ODS and then to the infocube and everything worked ok.

BEx Broadcaster Send button - No Broadcast Wizard with Key Figures in Rows
Working in BI 7.0 SP 16, we are having an issue with BEx Broadcaster. For a typical horizontal query (key figures in columns), the send button in BEx on the Portal works properly and returns the Broadcasting Wizard. However, when using a query in a vertical format (key figures in rows), the window opended by the send button displays the "spinning wheel" and never procceds on to the Broadcasting Wizard.
I have checked for SAP notes related to BEx Broadcaster and was not able to find anything relevant.
The same query was tested with the key figures in columns and in rows. The Broadcast Wizard comes up when the key figures are in columns, but not in rows. Since it was tested both ways with the same query, I am assuming that the issue is related to the orientation (horizontal vs. vertical).
Has anyone else run into this issue? Is there a known limitation, or a patch available? Does anyone have a BI system with a query you could flip the key figures from columns to rows and give it a try?
thanks,
-ShawnShawn,
I'm having my own issues with BEx Broadcaster in the Portal, but from BEx Query Designer - Query - Publish - BEx Broadcaster, the BEx Broadcaster Wizard is available in both cases (Key figures in columns and key figures in rows).
