Restricted Key Figure Column heading text missing

Hello,
I created a restricted Key Figure in a BEX report and dragged this RKF into the columns tab. when i execute the report , the column header text for the restricted key figure is missing. The values are fine, but the header column text for that KF is missing. any help?
Thanks
justin

Hi Justine...
I think u r doing something wrong..........Either u can create Global Restricted Key(Infoprovider level) or Local restricted ket figure(Query level)..........If u create Global........then in the left pane............Right click on the Keyfigure >> New restricted Key figure...........to create in the Query level..........In the context menu>> choose Edit........... or select the heading of the Rows or Columns directory
and use the right mouse button to choose New Structure..........In both the cases....there is a Description Field........u hav to write the description there............U can change the technical name also.........then save it........
May be it is a temporary bug............just come out the query..and again reopen it......

Text Variable for a Restricted Key Figure

Hi,
I have a version comparison query three Restricted Key figures based on 0QUANTITY each of which are restricted by Version, Value Type and Fiscal Year. All three are in my query columns. The users select 3 sets of version, value type and fiscal year in the selection for comparison.
They want to see the text of the version they have selected as the description of the column. How can i achieve this with text variables on these 3 Restricted Key Figures which have multiple restrictions. Please advise
Thanks
Rashmi.

Hi Rashimi,
As u said this can be acheived by text Variable,
I have adoubt here,are there THREE columns for Quantity or just ONE column with three Restrictions.
In case it is three Columns then u can go with Text variables else probably u may have to populate it in three Columns and by using Workbook you can combine them in one Column.....i.e One column with all the restrictions -text.
And here is how u create a text variable.....
Create text Variables,For Example ,say 0FISCALYEAR.
1)Right Click on the 0FISCALYEAR and Create a input Variable say YFISCYEAR and save.
2)If ur using 0FISCALYEAR in the RKF,then drag both the 0FISCALYEAR and KF say 0QUANTITY in the new selection.
3)After the Description of the RKF there is a = sign click on that to VIEW and CREATE Text variable.
4)Create New Variable ,enter the tech name(say YFYEAR) and dscription and in the same screen choose type Replacement PAth after which u will get a set of infobjects.
5)choose 0FISCALYEAR
6)In the Next screen choose the Tech name of the Input variabble(0FISCALYEAR) and save.
7)In the description of the RKF ,type as 0FISCALYEAR &YFYEAR&.
Check this too .....

Steps to create a Restricted Key Figure

Hi,
I am trying to create a BEx Query and want to create a Restricted Key Figure.
I am using BEx 7.x.
Please help me with steps to create a Restricted Key FIgure.
Thnaks and Regards,
Shreyas Shah

Hi Shreyas,
Please find the step by step to create a restricted key figures.
Procedure for Defining a new restricted key figure:
1. In the InfoProvider screen area, select the Key Figures entry and choose New Restricted Key Figure from the context menu (secondary mouse button).
If a restricted key figure has already been defined for this InfoProvider, you can also select the Restricted Key Figures entry and then choose New Restricted Key Figure from the context menu.
The entry New Restricted Key Figure is inserted and the properties for the restricted key figure are displayed in the Properties screen area.
2. Select the New Restricted Key Figure entry and choose Edit from the context menu (secondary mouse button).
The Change Restricted Key Figure dialog box appears.
You can also call the Change Restricted Key Figure dialog box from the Properties screen area by choosing the Edit pushbutton.
You make the basic settings on the General tab page.
The text field, in which you can enter a description of the restricted key figure, is found in the upper part of the screen.
You can use text variables in the description (see Using Text Variables).
Next to that, you can enter a technical name in the Technical Name field.
Underneath the text field, to the left of the Detail View area, the directory of all objects available in the InfoProvider is displayed. The empty field for defining the restricted key figure (Details of the Selection) is on the right-hand side of the screen.
3. Using drag and drop, choose a key figure from the InfoProvider and restrict it by selecting one or more characteristic values. See Restricting Characteristics.
You can also use variables instead of characteristic values. However, note that you cannot use the following variable types in restricted key figures for technical reasons:
Variables with the process type Replacement with Query (see also Replacement Path: Replacement with Querys)
Variables that represent a precalculated value set (see also Details)
You can use these variable types to restrict characteristics in the rows, columns, or in the filter.
4. Make any necessary settings for the properties of the restricted key figure on the other tab pages. See Selection/Formula Propertiess.
5. Choose OK. The new restricted key figure is defined for the InfoProvider.
Let me know if this helps.
Thanks

Displaying Restricted Key Figure Based on Fiscal Year

I'll try and explain my problem.
We have created a query using the CCA cube. We created 3 restricted key figures each with a different budget plan version. They are called 'AB' ,'PB' and 'RB'. When the user runs the query it will show planned values out for 5 years. So for example right now we are in Fiscal year 2006.
The problem is that 'AB' is only valid for year 2006, 'RB' may only me valid for 2007 and 'RB' may only be valid for 2008 - 2010. They use a different plan version for different years, If I place all three columns on the report I get zeros when the plans are not valid. Here is what I would like: When the fiscal year changes somehow select the correct restricted key figure to show and also adjust the text to reflect the fiscal year.
Its like my variables are dependent on the fiscal year displayed.
Any help would be great.
Rick

Hi Richard,
Have you tried out the Suppressing Zeros options in query properties...if the whole column is blank for a particular year, you should be able to suppress it. Click here for more info:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/1e/99ea3bd7896f58e10000000a11402f/content.htm
You can use text variables in the RKF description to reflect the year for which the data is being displayed.
Hope this helps...

"new selection", restricted key figure and basic key figure

Hi,
I have a test report and i have a basic keyfigure "ZRevenue" and "restricted key figure"(its defined over "ZRevenue") and
a "new selection"(its defined over "ZRevenue").
Now that i have "material number" and "material color" and "request id" in the rows. ("Material color" is a navigational attribute of material number).
In the column level i have a basic key figure "ZRevenue" and "restricted key figure"(its defined over "ZRevenue") and
a "new selection"(its defined over "ZRevenue") .
In a "restricted key figure" or "new selection", we can include a basic key figure or new formula or calculated key figure or an already restricted key figure into it, then we restrict it, with one or more characteristic values. In the report output we get KF values only for those characteristic values, with which it has been restricted. Please correct me if my understanding is wrong.
Initially i restricted the "new selection" (with material number 1 to 3) and "restricted key figure" (with material number 1 to 4).
In the cube i have material numbers 1 to 11. Now all the values were displayed from 1 to 11, but for the
"new selection" (with material number 1 to 3) and "restricted key figure" (with material number 1 to 4) i got values only for 1 to 3 and values for 1 to 4 respectively. This is as expected and is working fine.
Now i tried to restrict the basic keyfigure "ZRevenue" with material number 1, the output was only until the material number 4 (this is the greatest value of the material number defined over the "restricted key figure").
Then i tried to restrict the "new selection" (with material number 1 to 9) , then the output was from 1 to 9 material numbers.
If i remove the restriction over the basic keyfigure "ZRevenue" , then i get all the material numbers from 1 to 11, for "new selection" i get values for the material number 1 to 9 and for "restricted key figure" i get values for the material numbers 1 to 4.
Can some one explain me why this behavior?
Edited by: sapbi enthusiastic on Jan 31, 2012 11:48 AM

Hi,
This is where set theory comes in handy
So what you have is a basic KF (BKF), a selection (SEL), and an RKF.
When producing an output, BEx seems to be looking for the union of all the restrictions you place on these. So when your BKF is not restricted, the union comes out to everything in the underlying DSO. When you restrict the BKF for material number 1, this is how the restrictions might have been processed internally
BKF: Restriction on material 1
RKF: Restriction on material 1-4
SEL: Restriction on 1-3
Union of these three: 1-4
When you remove the BKF restriction and make SEL restricted to 9, this is how it plays out
BKF: NO Restriction on material
SEL: Restriction on material 1-9
RKF: Restriction on 1-4
Union of these three: everything.
As the union ends up giving you everything, you get 11 records. However, as SEL is restricted for 1-9, the SEL will have values for the materials 1-9. Likewise for RKF, you'll get values only for materials 1-4. Hope this clears things up!

Suhas

Display technical names of restricted key figures

Hi everybody,
In a query, I would like to display the technical names of restricted key figures instead of their description as a heading. Is that possible and how can I do this?
Thank you for any help, regards, Kathrin!

Hi Kathrin,
I believe you can do this in only one query.In the query you want to have the technical name ..Rigth click>properties> description will change the name of the field only in that specific query..not for all the queries..
Else you can run the query and make changes in workbook format..Even this should serve the purpose..

Currency Translation for Restricted Key figure

We are in BI Content 351 and SP6. In the query, I create a restricted key figure for an amount KF, assign a currency translation using a conversion key and target currency, give a technical name and save. Everything is fine. However, when I drag the RKF to query column, the currency translation disappears. Has any one seen this before? Any pointers will be appreciated

Hi Colleen,
Did you first assign the Currency COnversion Key (box on left). Then the Target Currency box will be enabled.
Hope this helps...

BEx Query-Problem opening query showing restricted key figure is inactive

Hi all,
While activating the Query we are getting error , the object is missing in active version ?
And also it is not allowing to open the query how to activate the query element now?
Also restricted key figure is inactive and how to activate the query in background ?

Hi,
I have never heard of query activation, we simply create the query and save it. I don't know which activity you are referring to but try to open your query through RSRT and check what is the error it shows?
And before that make sure that your Infoprovider is in active state.

Restricted key figure

HI,
can any body explain me what is the difference between Restricted key Figure and the filter option in BEX reporting.

Hi Ali,
If you want restrict particuler key figure based on characteristic value, that you have to go for restricted key figure.
For example: You have calender year month data from 2005 to 2006.An dyou have also have sales data for the period.
If you want see the say some feb 2005 to may 2006.
than you can use restricted key figure to see the values.
where as Filter will show the values which you have filtered irrespective of key figure (only characteristic value).
just go throw the below description.
Hi,
Restricted key figure:
Use
You can restrict the key figures of an InfoProvider for reuse by selecting one or more characteristics. The key figures that are restricted by one or more characteristic selections can be basic key figures, calculated key figures, or key figures that are already restricted.
Procedure
Defining a new restricted key figure
1. In the InfoProvider screen area, select the Key Figures entry and choose New Restricted Key Figure from the context menu (secondary mouse button).
If a restricted key figure has already been defined for this InfoProvider, you can also select the Restricted Key Figures entry and then choose New Restricted Key Figure from the context menu.
The entry New Restricted Key Figure is inserted and the properties for the restricted key figure are displayed in the Properties screen area.
2. Select the New Restricted Key Figure entry and choose Edit from the context menu (secondary mouse button.
The Change Restricted Key Figure dialog box appears.
You can also call the Change Restricted Key Figure dialog box from the Properties screen area by choosing the Edit pushbutton.
Calculated key figure:
Use
In the Query Designer, you use formulas to recalculate the key figures in an InfoProvider so that you can reuse them. Calculated key figures consist of formula definitions containing basic key figures, restricted key figures or precalculated key figures.
Procedure
Defining a New Calculated Key Figure
1. In the InfoProvider screen area, select the Key Figures entry and from the context menu (secondary mouse button click), choose New Calculated Key Figure.
If a calculated key figure has already been defined for this InfoProvider, you can select the Calculated Key Figures entry and, from the context menu, choose New Calculated Key Figure.
The system adds the New Calculated Key Figure entry. The properties for the calculated key figure are displayed in the Properties screen area.
2. Select the New Calculated Key Figure entry and, from the context menu (secondary mouse button), choose Edit.
The Calculated Key Figure dialog box appears.
You can also call the Change Calculated Key Figure dialog box from the Properties screen area by choosing the Edit pushbutton.
Formula:
Use
You can recalculate the key figures in a structure using a formula. You can include basic key figures, restricted key figures, and calculated key figures in the formula definition.
Procedure
Defining a Formula
1. If the query does not yet have a key figure structure, create a New Structure in the Rows or Columns of the Query Designer by highlighting the row or column directory using the secondary mouse button and selecting New Structure from the context menu.
2. If the structure does not yet contain any key figures, use drag and drop to transfer a (basic) key figure of the InfoProvider into the directory of the new structure.
3. Select the structure directory, and choose New Formula. The New Formula entry is inserted and the properties for the formula are displayed in the Properties screen area.
4. Select the New Formula entry and, from the context menu (secondary mouse button), choose Edit. The Change Formula dialog box appears.
You can also call the Change Formula dialog box from the Properties screen area by choosing the Edit pushbutton.

Restricted Key Figure with interval variable

Hi,
I've a restricted key figure for KF 0AMOUNT restricted by 0FISCPER. There is a variable restriction on 0FISCPER which determines the period interval in customer exit.
e.g. 001.2008 to 009.2008
The problem is, in query this RKF is returning only the values for period 009.2008. It should return the total for all the periods.
Can you tell me what could be missing?
Regards,
Amit

Hi Amit,
please check the cutomer exit, as the range might not be properly defined in the exit.
Firstly check if the variable is defined as range or single value, and if defined as range please check the below mentioned lines in the exit:
L_S_RANGE-SIGN = 'I'.
L_S_RANGE-OPT = 'BT'.
as they stand for:
SIGN (I)ncluding [ ] or (E)xcluding ] [
OPT Operators: EQ =, BT [ ], LE <=, LT <, GE >=, GT >, CP, and so on.
hope it helps

Restricted key figure as a selection screen

hi
in my fs they gave selection screen and restricted key figures are same things?
can i use this restricted kf as a selection also?

Hi,
If u are talking about 'selection' vs 'restricted key figure: -
Restricted key figure is the selection that u create globally and are avaible for all queries which are built on the multiporvider on which u created your restricted key figure.
when u right click in ur query desinger row or column and create a 'new selection' that also basically is a restricted key figure -b ut available only locally within that particular query.
whereas the globally created RKF will be available to all queries on that info provider.
And 'selection screen' will show all variables u have set as 'ready for input' . it will ask for user to enter the value when query is executed.
hope it helps

Rathy

Creating Restricted Key Figure

Hello all,
When creating a Restricted Key figure do we need to drag and drop both the key figure and also the characteristic?

If you are creating a Restricted key figure by right clicking on the 'Key figures' section in the Infoprovider panel to the left in Query designer then you need to explicitly drag both key figure and then all the characteristics on which you want to restrict this keyfigure.
On the other hand if you are restricting a existing key figure in the Columns section, then you just need to drag the characteristics.

Restricted key figure advice please...

greetings sdn. i need your advise on how to go about this type of report layout.
i have 2 main columns, customer type and customer type b. and then 3 sub columns; consumption ranges and total.
each customer should only fall in one category, either type a or type b.
                 type a                    type b
         (1-10) (11-20) tot   (1-10) (11-20) tot
cust x      1              1
cust y                                      1      1
i made 2 restricted key figures; the 1st is volume restricted by the customer type a and the 2nd is also volume restricted by customer type b.
when running the report, the customer volumes fall in the right columns. however, each customer is counted in both sub column totals.
                 type a                    type b
         (1-10) (11-20) tot   (1-10) (11-20) tot
cust x      1              1                       1
cust y                     1                1      1
your advise will be most appreciated.
thanks.

hi venkata,
i already sent you the screen capture of the query result
thanks
jay
hi srini.
i already made the formulas as you described. and the volume is falling in their respective columns according to customer type.
the problem is that every customer is incremented in both count columns of both customer types (e.g. a customer who belongs in the 'customer type a' column is also counted in the 'customer type b' column).
thanks
jay

The use of restricted key figures in real time scenario

Hi all,
Please let me know the use of restricted key figures in real-time business scenarios....plz someone explain it with <b><u>example</u></b>...
Also, can restricted keys be defined globally with same infoprovider...???????????
Your response is thankfully acknowledged,
thanks and regards,
shalini.

Hi,
You can restrict the key figures of an InfoProvider for reuse by selecting one of more characteristics. The key figures that are restricted by one or more characteristic selections can be basic key figures, calculated key figures or key figures that are already restricted. Which means you can define and use them globally in reporting for a particular infoprovider.
Example:
You have to show the sales for different product typessay 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, for a company code.
now you can define a RKF with company code and sales keyfigure.
In the report, in columns, you use this RKF in new selection and restrict it with product type in 6 diff columns.
New Selection.
Restrict it with RKF
Restrict it with product type 1.
similarly for others..
Hope this helps you....
