Report to Report Interface - Pass Key Figures
Hello,
I have setup a RIR interface on a Query to jump to another query for detailed inforamtion - works perfect.The issue I am facing is,there's a particular Keyfigure value in the sender query (derived from a Cube) which does not exist in the receiver query(ODS). Is there a way to get this information across to the Receiver Query ?
Thanks,
hdev
Hi, Hdev.
Do you have any documentation on how the Report to Report Interface works? If not, could you explain briefly what it is? Much appreciated!
Thanks,

Reports with only key figures? How to layout?
Hi anyone,
Could you kindly advise? I have a financial report which is about 20 key figures ex. Sales, Cash discounts, Revenue from operations, Gross Margin, Operating profit and Overheads % of sales...
For each of these areas I need to have 9 seperate numerical values:
Actual value (by month)
Last Year value (by month):
Budget value (by month)
Actual value ( year to date)
% of sales (ytd)
Last year value (ytd)
Budget value (ytd)
Full yr value (full yr)
Budget value (full yr)
This can lead to 20keyfiguresX9timeperiods = 180 numbers in the report. As I don't have any characteristics, it seems I'll end up with a very very long row.. Has anyone experience fixing this sort of issue?Hi
Sorry for the earlier post for not explaining...
There are two ways you can do.
First way is meddling with the modelling....
Create 9 infoobject charecterisitcs with CHAR TYPE NUM and feed them with the key figures timeperiods thru update rule routine......Use this 9CHAR -> fed by kfs into Cube and you can use 2 structures...as far as the system is concerned you are using one structure of kf and one for chars.......
Second way...if ur using BEx you can think of Macros

Cockpit report-mapping of key figures in WAD
Hi,
I'm working on a cockpit report wich consist of several different key figures combined together and shown for various months + some planning values. The key figures come from a multitude of infoproviders (and applications). So you would have a plan value, a value month -1, a value month -2 and a value current month on the X-axis and than the different kind of key figures (for instance: financial result, costs, number of employees, absence % etc.) on the Y-axis. Hereby the number of digits can differ per keyfigure, as well as the scaling factor, and some key figures require a %-sign.
On top of this there are several key figures that combine data from different providers (let's say: financial result divided by number of technical installations).
Now this can never be done in a query. Even the just the financial block would require key figures on both X- and Y-axis wich is not possible (and wouldn't make any sense in a logical way), not even mentioning the key figures that combine data from totally different applications. Now what I'm looking for is a way to map the query results to create the required report. If we'd only use the analyzer it wouldn't be a problem since I could put the queries on one tab and then use Excel functionality to map them to the fields and to be able to decide per cell how it should be formatted (with regard to number of digits for instance, wich can differ per cell). Since no navigation other than a selection on year/month is required this would do.
The only problem is that the client wishes to use web fucntionality. So now I'm looking for a way to do the same in the WAD. However I can't find a substitute in the WAD for the Excel functionality that is required to link query results to cells in the final report, nor to format each cell individually. My only solution (wich only solves the first problem) is one that constitutes of a large number of APD's that are used to get the query results into a DSO wich uses one key figure for al numerical info and some characteristics for the specification of the actual key figure that it represents.
First of all this solution is rather cumbersome and second, it doesn't solve my second problem (because the actual report consists of only one key figure for wich I can set the number of digits only for the entire column.
Big question is, is there anybody who has a more satisfying solution tho this problem. I'd think that there are a lot more companies that use reports that consist of key figures from different applications combined together in the way I described. However I could'nt find much on the inetrnet with concern to this matter.
By the way, I'm sorry for the poor lay out of this post, but no matter what I try, this forum ignores the use of the enter key and spaces.
Edited by: Jesse Brock on Sep 24, 2009 11:29 AMHi Priya,
Most likely, you have too many figures to display. You need to hide or add some drilldowns (or KFs in BEx) just to leave what you want to show in graph. Then select an area in Excel and use a standard Excel functionality to show graphs.
Best regards,
Eugene

FI report - query on key figures
Hi all,
I need to develop a FI report where I have GL a/c in rows and period to date and year to date balances as the key figures. Report should look like:
GLa/c--Period to date balance-----year to date balance
1--1000--
2000
2--400--
1000
3--600--
For GL a/c 1 and 2, I need to display both key figures but for GL a/c 3, I only need period to date balance since it is a P&L account. Basically, for all GL accounts in my system, I need to display year to date balance but the ones in range 400000 till 999999, I need to display period to date balance, since these are P&L GLs.
How can I acheive this?
Thanks,
NitikaFor your "year to balance" key figure create a RKF and restrict GL account with exclusion of 400000 till 999999 range along with your key figure.
This should make it display 0.
Hope this helps. -
Need a help in Report for Fomula key figure
Hi
I am doing Trial Balance report, in my report there are two Formula fields
Net Dr Net Cr
100 -100
- 200 200
The values are like this, Know what the user want is where the negative sign come that should display 0 in reports. I tried condition by takinf Net dr greater them 0 , and Net Cr greater than 0 , but its not working.
Regards
ShashiHi,
If you want to create a formula for displaying 0 when the value is negetive, then do the following in formula:
<b>(Net Dr <= 0) * Net Dr</b> and similarly another formula for <b>(Net Cr <= 0) * Net Cr</b>.
Hope this helps.

Bex report does not display key figures
Friends,
Need help urgently.
We have a report of a multicube(MC1). key figures of one of the infocube(IC1) in the multicube(MC1) does not showup on the report.
If reported independly on that IC1 it does show all values. This sounds really weird but its taking up all my time.
Please friends, need your inputs on what else could have gone wrong.
FYI...earlier we had same problem but creating new report on this multicube resolved problem. But this time, we have a new KF added to the infocube(IC1). But no change to the reports are made. Even though problem occurs. I even transported all the rules, multicube and infocube.
Please help me identify what could be the cause for it.
-RajGupta,
Thanks, this resolved my problem.
But here;s another issue that came up now.
I have a keyfigure (conversion factoor to EA) as attribute to master data infoobject (zmatnr). I have this included in the multicube. On the query, I have created a replacement path variable for conv. factor and this works well with all reports except this sales report which has key figures included from multicube(from multiple infocubes in muticube. Any idea what is that i am doing wrong?

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,
RekhaThere 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,

Prequery Key Figure Value to Pass to Subsequent Query
I need to be able to do the following:
Run a query that calculates the Quantity of a material that has not yet shipped. (Query has GI date = #)
This value then needs to be used by another query on a different cube that determines our current inventory and the QtyNotShipped needs to be subtracted from our CurrentStock.
The two queries will need to be joined using 0MATERIAL
I've read that you can pass results from one query to another, but I cannot remember how to do this.
Is it possible to pass Key Figure totals from one query to another?Hi valhalla,
i think what you were referring to is RRI? Report-to-Report interface?
But that is to pass characteristic value to another query. Like company code, calendar month etc.
Have you considered using a MultiProvider combining both cubes to create Report B?

Exception color can not display at another key figure in BEx query desinger
I have a report requirement, the user want to display the average price on each month ,such as:
Jan. Feb. Mar. Apr. etc.
100 105 104 95 ....
and the user want to compare each other months with Jan's price.
they want to display the exception color when the rise or down rate greater or less than 5%.
Now ,I can only change the output structure such as:
Jan. Feb. Rate2-1 Mar. Rate3-1 etc.
100 105 (105-100)/100=5% 104 (104-100)/100=4% ....
Now I can set Exception on the formula Rate2-1 Rate3-1....
But the Exception color can only display on Rate2-1,Rate3-1...
and Not the Keyfigure Feb. Mar...
I am using the BI 7.0 and the new Query Designer.
Who can help me to solve this question .
Thanks.
Yours Youming.ZhaoHi,
its simply not supported for BEx Analyzer. Exception reporting on another key figure is only possible for Web Reporting.
Check this actual SAP Help Link:

Why key figures are not displaying
Dear Experts,
I am faced with a problem not encountered before. My report has multiple key figures all of which are not displayed when I run the query. However if I change the view to Tabular format (from query properties) the key figures become visible.
Request your help in resolving the issue.Hi,
are you hidden the some key figures? please check.
select the KF -> go to properties -> check the display tab - hide/show/hide can be shown.
if not close and open one more time in query designer.
Thanks,

Key figure with pre-calculated aggregation
Hello,
I have to model a key figure with a pre-calculated aggregation, that is, soruce flat files contain explicit values for months, quarters, halfyears and years. The key figure is a percentage (service quality) and the corresponding company department provides me with results for all aggregation levels.
I think that this case can be modeled with one InfoCube for each aggregation level and a Multicube but I have to create a high number of InfoCubes (aprox. 180).
I can get the formula that department uses, but it's possible on BW to change standard aggregation (SUM, MAX, MIN)?
Thanks in advance and regards,
Alberto Garcia.Hi Alberto,
One of the ways of doing it could be -
add another field (char) to your cube called at "value Type" & assign different values to it depending upon the time value.
say Monthly - value type 1
Querter - value type 2
& so on ...
keep filling the same key figure.
at the time of reporting restrict your key figure accordingly with the value type. ( say need only montly key figure value restrict value type to "1")
hope it helps.

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. -
250 Key figures in one cube?
Hello,
we need to report on 250 key figures at the same time. I now there is a limitation in the cube of 233 KF, any ideas to solve this problem? What about using an ODS for the reporting, are there any performance issues or do you have experiences with this amount of KF in one infoprovider?
Many thx
RenéI think you should reaccess your data model and see if the no of key figures can be reduced. 233 is the max allowed by SAP. You can partyly solve this problem by creating 2 cubes with the same characteristics and splitting the key figures. This solution will work only when you have mutually exclusive key figures requirement in the report.
Also you can use the Restricted key figures and calculated key figures in the reports thereby reducin the actual key figures in the cube to be within the limit.
Hope this helps.

Dear Experts,
Can you please tell me what is the significant of u201CKey figuresu201D in Maintenance order cost Tab. How the same is distinct from value categories and activity type.
How can you make use of this key figures while generating in maintenance report.
ARHi,
Value Category - generally value category groups several cost element account together.
For example,
Cost elements A451xx (Mech. Services) and A452xx (Facility Services), etc may be grouped into a Value Category called INTERNAL Services.
Cost element A4652xx (Ext. Mech Consultant) and A4651xx (Ext. Facility Consultant ), etc, may be grouped into a Value Category called EXTERNAL Services
Both Value Categories INTERNAL and EXTERNAL services can be aggregiated into a PM Cost Key Figure called SERVICES.
Which value categories are grouped together under which key figure depends on your chart of accounts.
To answer your question, the Key Figure gives you an aggregiate actual value of several value categories.
Example
In a work order, the following work has been carried out
$500 of Mech Services, $500 of Facility Service, $500 of Ext Mech. and $500 of Ext Facilit consultant.
The Actual value for Value Category INTERNAL service = $1000 and Value Category EXTERNAL services = $1000.
Actual Cost of Key Figure SERVICES would be $2,000 (+ actual cost of other value categories assigned to this Key Figure.)
I am not sure if there is PM report where the Key Figure field is displayed (or can be used as filter). In IW38, you can display the total Actual Cost, but not the details of the Key Figure.
Try in the PM WO Cost Tab, you should be able to display the cost details if you click "Report Planned/actual" or "Report budget/commts" button.

Key figure description not show in BEx and WAD sometimes
Hi experts!
I have a big problem. Sometimes we have the effect that a report shows no key figures. I mean I see the numbers but no key figure description is shown.
Example (correct)
Country | Hierarchy | Banking | ATM | ....
Germany | Key figure 1 | 1.000 | 500 | ....
| Key figure 2 | 27 | 9 | ....
| Key figure 3 | 27 | 9 | ....
| Key figure 4 | 27 | 9 | ....
Example (wrong)
Country | Hierarchy | Banking | ATM | ....
Germany | | 1.000 | 500 | ....
| | 27 | 9 | ....
| | 27 | 9 | ....
| | 27 | 9 | ....
We can solve the problem if so we deleted the query from the cache but that is not really a good solution.
Any suggestions?
Regards, ThomasHi Thomas,
I have a similar problem in WAD. After applying Patch 19, the Key Figures descriptions do not display in certain reports.
From Query Designer, everything is OK.
Could you fix the issue?
