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

Problem with a key figure restriction

Hi,
I have a problem with one key figure in report: in infocube, this key figure is aggrigated for all the profit centers (summation). In infocube, there is a value '150' for each profit centers (100 pieces) and in the report it is counting 150*100=15000. However, it shouldn't count the sum of all entries in the infocube but show only one value in the report which would be '150'.
I think this should be possible to do but I just don't know how. Hope somebody is able to help me. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
If the values are same for all profit center then change the Profit center infoobject property in the query design to show the maximum values for the 'calculation result as' parameter

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,
Nitika

For 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.

How to create a non-cumulative key figure & How to make a info cube as so

Hi Experts,
How to create a non-cumulative key figure & How to make an info cube as non-cumulative cube?
Can any one kindly provide me the steps we need to performe?
Thanks in Advance,
Raj

Hi Azael,
In the How to Papers, you will find a Guide on how to take a Sanpshot view of the Stocks(How To Handle Inventory Management Scenarios in BW). Basically if you implement the Guide, you will have another cube called ICSNAP1, which will contain stock quantities /values at the end of each month. You will therefore have to take stock at the end of the last month from that cube and add up the relevant receipts and issues to arrive at the current Stock or Stock as on a particular date.
Hope this helps!

Problem with restricted key-figure using off-set variable

Hello Gurus,
I have created a query in Bex Query Designer with a key figure restricted. This key figure shows me the 0amount value for the last month. When I select 003.2009, the key figure brings the 002.2009 values. I used an off-set variable to do this
It works!
But when I show this key-figure in Webi, no value shows up on the table.
Any suggestions?
tks

Which variable are you using in BEx and in WEBI to restrict the month/year?

BEx report -two different calculations for a result for one key figure how?

All,
Maybe someone could help me with the following, we have a requirement to setup for one key figure two calculations for result rows. One result (average) for one level, and on a higher level -grand total have a (sum), as for our business it makes sense to do it this way. We have setup average for this KF, we get correct results (see below values 7,5 & 6,5) however for the grand total (across multiple products) so for one level up we need to have a different calculation. How could we achieve this?
Here is an example:
location     product          inventory
AAAA     11111          5
AAAA     11111          5
AAAA     11111          10
AAAA     11111          10
AAAA     Result          7,5      ---> average
AAAA     22222          5
AAAA     22222          6
AAAA     22222          7
AAAA     22222          8
AAAA     Result          6,5       -
> average
AAAA     Result (across products)          14      ---> here I want to have a sum of averages

This could be achieve only IF you upload a hierarchy for product inventory with different levels, wherein each level show subtotals and finally grand total will be shown at the end of the results.

Problem with displaying key figures in report

Does anyone have experience with SAP Report Designer for Release 7.0. I want to display key figures in the following manner: 1'500 (Which means 1.500.000) For a billion the value displaye should be 1''000 (1.000.000.000).
1000 =     1.000
0'010 =     10.000
0'100 =     100.000
1'000 =     1.000.000
0''010 =     10.000.000
0''100 =     100.000.000
1''000 =     1.000.000.000
Thus the report always shows 4 digit figures. The problem is that I don't know how to include the apostophe as a separator for the million.
Additionaly to that I want to have the font changed to a smaller number, if the figure is to large for the column. Is there a possibity to change the display of the figure with the scaling? And is there a possibility to change the font? These two parameters have to be decided when running the report. (The scale of the numbers can differ within one column.)

there is two way to display the values , one is globally, where u do it the keyfigure and another way is on the query designer level
in keyfigure go to aggregation , there u will get the number display format , u can change there and another way is in the query designer right click on the key figure and select properties and select display format

Query problem with accumulated key figures

Hi BI Gurus!
I have a report problem that I hope you can help me with!
In my report I have 2 key figures. One for accumulated revenue previous year (KF1) and one for accumulated revenue current year (KF2). Both key figures should be presented in a graph in monthly buckets.
January figures from both the key figures shoule be presented in the same bucket. Therfore I can't use 0CALYEAR since we have the "year" information in there. Instead I'm using 0CALMONTH2 which is only two digits, 01 for January. That way I can map figures from both previous year and current year in the same bucket.
I need the figures to be accumulated and this is what I have problem with. When I run the report today in February 2010 it looks like this:
Month   KF1   KF2
01        10     15
02        10     20
03        15
04        10
05        20
06        10
07        10
08        15
09        15
10        20
11        20
12        10
This is how I would like the report to look like:
Month   KF1   KF2
01        10     15
02        20     35
03        35
04        45
05        65
06        75
07        85
08        100
09        115
10        135
11        155
12        165
I have tried to use the setting "accumulated" for the key figures but then I get this result:
Month   KF1   KF2
01        10     15
02        20     35
03        35     35
04        45     35
05        65     35
06        75     35
07        85     35
08        100   35
09        115   35
10        135   35
11        155   35
12        165   35
Since the KF2 is revenue for current year and I run the report in February I don't want any figures to be displayed in Mars...
I have tried to restrict the key figures by 0CALMONTH2 and 0CALYEAR. The KF1 is havein a restriction to only show values for 0CALYEAR - 1 and an interval for 0CALMONTH2 from JAN - DEC.
The KF2 is having a restriction to only show values in the interval "first month in year - current month" (in this example JAN - FEB) for 0CALMONTH2. And current year for 0CALYEAR.
Despite my restrictions for KF2 the numpers repeats itself for every month...
Any suggestion how I can resolve this?
Best regards
Anders Florin

Hi Khaled and thank you for trying to help me!
I agree with you and think the users should accept the report as it is. But they are claiming that top management will not accept this and they would really want this to be fixed the whay that they want. I have tried to push back on this and said that I'm not sure that it can be resoleved and that it could cost them a lot of money if I try.
But I will try to resolve it for them if I have spare time in the end of the project. I have not promised them anything but it would really be nice if I could fix it.
So when you say I need to use a structure and a calculated key figure. How should the calculated key figure and the structure be configured?
If I use a structure in the rows I guess I can't use same object in calc.key.figure right? Like if I use 0CALMONTH2 in the structure I'm not able to restrict the key figure with the same object? If that is correct I also have a ZMONTH object, different story why I have that... , that I can use in the same way as 0CALMONTH2. Or is this only a problem when I use "local" formulas within the query and not using a "global" calculated key figure? Cause I have only used the "loacal" formula calculated key figure in this report....

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.

Hi 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.

Problem with Restricted Key Figures Please Solve

Dear All.
i restrict the key figure on some GL's for Cumulative balance, this RKF show me the result base on the 0CALMONTH which is select in the variable screen.
i created one more RKF with the same GL's but i restrict that RKF also with fix 0Calmonth say DEC2008.
but the problem is when i run the report it shows me that data correct, but when i bring the 0CALMONTH on top of the Key Figure structure it only show me the data for selected month for the fix month RKF the result come empty.
my requirement is that i have to select month range and i need to show every month value minus the Dec2008 value, this only works if i donot bring the 0CALMONTH on top of Key figure structure but i want to keep it on the top of KF structure so i can show each month value - dec2008 value.
Please explain how can i control this.
Kind regards,

Dear Chandu.
I am creating the RKF on Cummulative Balance KF by restricting it with some combinations of GL's, let say the name of RKF is TRADE_Accounts.
My requirement is to give Calmonth selection from the variable in interval let say from 01.2009 - 05.2009
i simply want to display TRADE_Account balance for each month in selection but by doing the minus the value of Trade_Account from the same RKF i.e. TRADE_Account_2 which i restrict on DEC2008.
so i created Two RKF for KF cummulative balance one is restricted with 0CALMONTH value for DEC2008 only.
then i create on CKF let TRADE_BALANCE = TRADE_Account2008 - TRADE_Account.
and place the CKF in Key Figure Structure, it work fine but problem comes when i try to bring 0CALMonth on top of key figure structure so i can show the result for each selected month.
when i do this it only shows the Balance for selected months but it did not minus it with the other RKF i.e. TRADE_Account2008.
when for testing i also put the TRADE_Account2008 in Key figure structure it shows empty result when the 0CALMONTH is on top of the Key figure structure.
Please explain how can i achieve this.
Kind regards,

Interactive restriction on key figures in BPS layout

Hi Experts
I know you can define planning level/packages/layout header with variables to define selection criteria of characteristics for layout, but is it possible to define selection criteria on key figures? e.g. only show the data in layout with amount larger than a user input value (100 or any other amount you may input) when executing the layout?
Or I can define "condition" in BW query, and use this query for input layout for BPS? Because I know in NW04s BPS can use BW query as input layout.
any idea?
Thanks Patrick

Hi,
In BW-BPS, i don't think it is possible to achieve this as there is no option to define conditions.
thanks

Snapshot Inventory Management with Cummulative key figures

Experts,
We are implementing the snapshot model in parallel with the Daily cube. When trying to create the update rules from 2LIS_03_BX, we get a warning message saying 2lis_03_bx is setup for noncummulatives only followed by an error stating that there are no key figures in the cube.
How do we circumvent this issue?
All thoughts appreciated!

Pls go though below link which will help you to implement snapshot Inventory " How to handle Inventory"

Creating Query in Production with Calculated key figures

Hi BW Experts,
Can u pls let me know that in case of Production System when we are allowing users to create reports with Adhoc Web Query Designer and using CKF + RKF
(Calculated key Figure) which is already transported to Production in a specific Package, Is Production system will allow to save report?
Pls sugges how to solve this problem ..to give permission for users to create reports in production server with CKF RKF?
Thanks in advance

rsa1 -> transport conection -> object changeability button -> Set query elements as everything changeable.
If you want to refine this you have to do by authorizations.

Problem saving queries with calculated key figures

Hello Experts,
I am analyzing this problem since many hours during the last weeks and I don't know, what else to do.
The problem is saving a key user query containing a calculated key figure in the production system (BW 3.5 SP SAPKW35015). The Error 'The query could not be saved due to a problem in transport' occures.
If I exclude the KF from the query, saving is possible, so the calculated KF must be the source of the problem.
The system is set to not changeable, but the 'Object Changeability' of 'Query Elements' in 'RSA1' --> 'Transport Connection' is set to 'Changeable Original'. If I set this option to 'Everything changeable', saving of the query works, but this is not possible in production, because transported standard queries would also be changeable.
For saving queries, die authorization object S_RS_COMP and S_RS_COMP1 is included completely with *, but this does not help.
I also transported the query and the KF again from development system ... no change, same problem.
I found the SAP note 533413, but what does this mean? "This problem can only be solved in the next BW release ..." I heard from colleagues, that BW 7.0 has the same problems.
Does anyone have an idea, how to solve this problem?
I would be very thankful for any reply...
Hannes
Edited by: Hannes Heidrich on Jun 23, 2008 12:07 PM

Thank you for your answer, but I have set the Object Changeability to Everything Changeable and restricted the user with S_RS_COMP. So only certain query names can be used and changed. Experiences from collegues said, that deleting and transporting again would not help.
Best Regards,
Hannes

Problem with multiprovider key figure

Hi all,
I have Infocubes according to reporting division and a multiprovider built on these Infocubes.
There is a key figure NET_SALES,the value of which differs in the Infocube and multiprovider.When i check the infocube data independently,the value of the key figure looks ok but when i try to display data in multiprovider with the same conditions,the value of the key figure is incorrect.
Can anyone please help me out with this?
Regards,
Suchitra

Then make sure that you are analyzing it correctly. Multiprovider will show only values which is coming from the cube.
Do one thing, uncheck the other three and check for only one cube. Now, you match the data. If its correct, do it for all the region. It may help you to diagnose where is the problem.
Thanks...
