Reverse +/- Signs

hello,
can anybody help me please?
i marked a node in a hierarchy as "reverse +/- sign", but it had no effect on the query i executed in bex-analyzer with this hierarchy!
does anyone know this issue?
thanks,
florian

Hi folks
We have solved the problem in a different way.
We have found that all calculated positions have the wrong sign. So we have substracted all "0COA" (wich are the calculated positions) values twice, that indirectly reverse the sign and gives us a correct balance sheet.
thanks for your help, i hope this is usefull for other people
flo assign the points to me;-)

Reverse +/- sign in report painter

Hi all,
When I make report painter, I can only define reverse +/- sign for whole row or column. I can't define +/- for each cell in one column. It is really a problem. How can I do?
Thanks a lot

can anyone help me, please?

Reverse sign +/- in a hierarchy

Hi all
I need to subtract just one node of a hierarchy. So I ticked the flag reverse sign +/-, and then I set the node I need to be changed.
The problem is that it doesn´t work. My node sign is not reversed as I expected.
Should I do anything else?
thks in advance

No, what I want to say is this:
I have a hierarchy and I need to subtrac one node (I need to change the sign), so in maintenance infoobject I tick the option reverse sign of a node.
the value of my node is -100 and after ticked reverse sign +/- for this node in my hierarchy, when I execute my report the value is -100 instead of 100.
I don´t know why this is not working.

Reverse Sign in Business rule Parameter

Hi Guys,
Can anyone give me some scenario where we can use reverse sign in the business rule (Checked). Why we change the sign of the account.
Source Account Destination Account Reverse Sign
1030200000 1030200000
Thanks...

Hi,
This helps you to adjust the signs when you are posting values from one ACCTYPE account to another.

Report painter - Reverse signs

Hi,
I want to change a report using the report painter. There is one specific line that I want to reverse signs, i.e. if the value is actually 2,500, I want it to be 2,500-.
I'm trying to select this specific line by clicking on it and then F9 (Select/deselect). Then, I click on F7 (Reverse signs) and I get the message «Signs are reversed for the selected area».
But the result is not good. It changes ALL the signs of every possible line, and not only the signs that I selected using F9.
Thanks,
Julien

Hi,
Using f7 u can reverse balance of all not for individual.
Means If a row bal is cr(-), then it will become Dr(+) and
if it is Dr(+) it will become Cr (-).
In short sigen of any cell depends on row characteristic balance.
If u r not able to clarify your doubt please sendus detail query like wether u r using GR31 tcode or else.

Cell Definition and Reverse sign Issue after upgrade

Hi ,
we are having a issue here after upgrade to BI 7 from 3.1c .
There is a Collision between Cell Definition and Reverse sign in the query designer.
Issue is . We have Key Figure "Net Days AR" which has Reverse Sign Checked under properties. In 3.1c when we ran the report the Net Days AR would get value like for example -40 . but now after upgrade to BI 7 SP 16 we are getting value 40. the negative sign is missing. The formula is correct.
I went and checkd if we have any cell definitions defined on this and found the cell definitions onthis keyfigure.
values are comming correct if there are no cell definitions.
Thanks in Advance and Points will be awarded.
Thanks,
Reddy

we have the same problem. In BI 2004s with BEx 3.x when the cell reference is defined, the reverse sign flag is ignored.
I opened a message to SAP. Until now no solution and I think we'll never receive solution. Here are the answers we received:
SAP
I have to say this is the limitation of front end 3.5.
In designer 3.5, it works this way:
When you define a cell referance, this cell is blocked from change of the column property change. No matter how you change the column key fig proerty, it keeps the original status when you define it.
If you want the defined cell property, you need to delete the cell
referance, change property, then redefine the referance.
I agree this is very inconvinience, that's why I would recommend you to use query designer 7.0 if possible. With 7.0 front end, you can define separately the property for defined cells. It is more flexible.
ME
At the moment it is not possible to migrate to 7.0 frontend.
I tried to delete the cell reference, change properties and redefine the reference. I tried to create new columns, define cell properties, save and define the cell reference. I tried several different combinations...
No way, as soon as I define the cell reference, column properties are ignored.
1) How can we restore the correct behavour of a query in frontend 3.5?
2) If we found a way to restore it, we need a smart procedure to modify all our existing queries (including how to identify those affected by this inconvenience).
SAP
For front end 3.5, you need do following:
1. delete cell referance
2. change the column property (such as tick on or off the sign reversal)
3. re-define the cell (this cell will with the new sign status)
4. define formular base on cell
After step 3, you can't change cell property whatever you do in
column property. This is the designed behavior.
If you want to change property after step 3, you need to start
all over from step 1.
ME
I did it.
Don't work. When I define the cell reference, column properties are ignored.
SAP
It seems there is some issue in front end.
Do you use the front end 3.5 with latest patch?
Could you please check front end installation as per sapbexc.xla (described in note 197460). If there are problems shown within this check do the following:
- Remove your frontend via 'START' - 'PROGRAMS' - 'SAP FRONTEND' -'REMOVE SAP FRONTEND'
- Install the lastest frontend and GUI patch (according to note 496977or 496989 again and check the installation).
ME
I don't think so. I am using:
Sapgui 7.10 Patch 8
Bex 3.50 Patch 3
Bex 7.x Patch 5

Financial version statement (reverse sign) not extracted correctly

R/3: ECC 6.0
BI: NW04s
Went into ECC and set the 'Reverse sing +/-' setting for Revenue nodes.
Went into BI and change the datasource for 0GL_ACCOUNT_T011_HIER to assign a transfer rule for reverse sign
Reload hierarchy for 0GL_ACCOUNT
The reverse sign appear but their assignment is shifted down by 2 nodes. When I run the Extractor in ECC using RSA3, I can see the incorrect reverse sign assignment. So this appears to be problem with extractor.
I went tru this process for some query that need revenue amounts reversed
any thoughts?

Hi Raynald
please have a look to note 1061847 - Ind. for reversing plus/minus signs not extracted correctly, import the SP SAPKH60011 or implement the manual correction in the note.

How to reverse sign +/- in FI statement

Hi Guru
I create P&L report on t.code OB58 and I want to reverse sign on output report such as the Revenue is generally displayed in the general ledger as a negative number but I want display the sales are displayed as a positive number ,I try use +/- sign change indicator but not effect . How I can do?
thanks very much
methinee.s

Hello,
Sales figures in FI will be shown in Negative values (except credit memos) and positive in SD.
This is standard, this cannot be changed.
+/- (Debit and Credit Check box) symbol in OB58 is having different meaning.
If you select this box, the system will display the account under this financial statement item if it has a debit balance / credit balance.

Ravi

Reverse Signs in hierarchies

Hi Guys,
how can I reverse signs in hierarchies?
I went to rsa1 an set the flag at the node in my hierarchy, which I want to reverse the sign at.
When I then retrieve the data using a query the sign does not change, but still remains +
Thanks for your help.
-- Niels

Niels,
Balance sheet, Profit & Loss and Cash flow reports by the business meaning are based on an the almost independent sets of accounts. They are linked by the (net) profit/revenue.
Though, the internal (accounting) sign of the net profit is negative, the presentation of it in different reports (see above) MIGHT AND SHOULD BE DIFFERENT!.
Frankly, first time I met the approach when one hierarchy of accounts is used for all these three reports. The reports represent different slices and views (dimensions) of data. You cannot build the indirect cash flow report by the information contained in B/S & P&L accounts only! The Cash Flow accounts are derivatives (calculated) from the B/S, P&L & additional information.
IMHO, it's absolutely improper to use one hierarchy of accounts for these reports. They must be different hierarchies of accounts for these reports.

Reverse sign of some characteristic values

Hi experts,
The user wants to see a key figure for some characteristic values as positive but, this value, is negative.
We don't use this characteristic on selections or formulas, we use it on free characteristics, so we can't use the reverse sign option.
is there any way to do it ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You can do this in both ways:
Back End:
Write a routine as follows:
Considering the same example which you have given.
If char value = A1 then key figure = KF x -1
else result = KF.
Front End:
A. Create two restricted key figures:
1. Restrict the first one for value A1, say RKF name is RKF1
2. Restrict the second with value not equals to A1, say RKF name is RKF2
B. Create two calculated key figures:
1. first calculated key figure will be CKF1 = RKF1 x -1
2. second calculated key figure will be CKF2 = RKF2 x 1
C. Now use table interface to join the two columns.
You can refer the below attached document for Table interface....

Reverse sign not working in some column

Hi all,
a strange issue happened today when we tryed to apply "reverse sign" on a Key Figure in BEx.
Pratically, we marked a key figures with "reverse sign" but when we launched the query not all values
were correctly changed of sign.
As you can see on the screenshot above, the "Aggregators" and "Genial" values, have negative sign (-77,6 and -72,7)
also if in the infocube they are negatives and we have marked reverse sign on the Key figure (the right value should be +77,6 and + 72.7).
The "Direct" value works normally (357).
Assumption:
no reverse sign is presents on the rows (Characteristics);
I compared all flags present on both the key figures "Direct" and "Aggregation" properties and they are identical.
I already launched the RSRT on BW with the same wrong result.
we just migrated at BW 7.3 SP 10
Then I marked "keep sign"
I saved it and executed the query.
all values were correctly negatives.
then I marked again "revrerse sign".
saved
I ran the query
and now... the values are correctly all positive as expected.
Anyone have an idea?
Are there some notes to solve this issue?

Reverse sign on amounts - how to achieve this?

Hi,
The requirement is to convert the actual + amount to Reverse sign only for particular items against the key figure. How can we achieve this?
I appreciate your help.
Thanks,
BW USA

Hi,
can you identify your particular items with a characteristic value (e.g. ITM_TYPE)?
if yes then, assuming you want to reverse the sign of KF form ITM_TYPES A and B
- Create a selection (S_REV_KF) with KF and ITM_TYPE = A OR B.
- create a formula RESULT = KF - 2 x S_REV_KF.
other possibilities: create a hierarchy with reversed sign nodes, structure (only if very few "items"... also possibility to add a nav attr attribute to your "item" in order to restrict more easily your S_REV_KF....
finally post the result with the logic in your cube via URules....
hope this helps....

Reverse sign +- issue?

HI BW World!
I have a problem and not sure why?
I have 3 sets of keys figures (3 key figures in each group of Opening(A), Closing(B) and Movements(C)).. Totals in £ (Reverse sign or not)
A. (Opening Balances)
Sales       +£27,000 (Keep Sign)
NegSales -£50 (Keep Sign)
Net Sales +£27,650 (Reverse Sign)
B. (Closing Balances)
Sales           +£142,700 (Keep Sign)
Neg Sales    -£50 (Keep Sign)
Net Sales    +£142.640 (Reverse Sign)
C. (Movements) (**Using a local formula to calculate**)
Sales (Sales Closing - Sales Opening) = -£115,000 (Keep Sign)
Neg Sales (Neg Sales Closing - Neg Sales Opening) =£0 (Keep Sign)
Net Sales (Net Sales Closing - Net Sales Opening) = -£115,000 (Reverse Sign)
My question is..
I was expecting the value of C. (Movements) Sales to be +(plus)£115,000 not -(minus)£115,000.
How comes it rhas reversed the sign?
Points to be awarded......
Thanks in advance....

Hi Praveen..
I know I can change teh sign BUT why has it reversed the sign? I have not told it to reverse the sign?
I dont want to just reverese the sign now as we both dont know why? Its possible this could cause future figures to be wrong.
I want to know WHY it has reversed the sign without asking it to? I was thinking maybe something to do with calculations and aggregation?
Thanks for your input..

Reverse Signs in BPS Layouts

Dear all,
I'm looking for a way to reverse the signs in BPS Layout.
Storage in Cube:
Costs +
Revenues -
Display and input in BPS-Layout
Costs -
Revenues +
That is it should work somehow like the sign reversal in queries.
I checked the standard function Automatic Sign Assigment
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sem40bw/helpdata/en/41/0e28c474eb11d4b2fb0050dadfb23f/frameset.htm
but this seems to be diffent.
Any ideas?
Best regards
Gregor

Hi Gregor,
you want to have a 'static' sign reversal (all values multiplied by -1); this does not exist as a planning layout feature. In BPS sign reversal was designed to display both costs and revenue with +.
Also in BW queries there exists a 'static' sign reversal as a property of a structure element and in addition one can use master data attrbute lookups (replacement path variables) and formulas to get a master data value specific sign.
In BPS one can use a planning function to revert the sign before data input and after data input. Depending on the UI you can also use VBA makros to do the sign reversal (Excel-Inplace). In a WebIntefaces you can implement your own exit class; there you can control the data. Maybe the latter solution is not self-explaining.

Gregor

Reverse Sign in Crystal report

Hi,
I am working on CR 2008 and SAP BEx query.My report requirement is to change the sign of values.
Suppose if one value is negative then show in the report as positive.same for positive to Negative.
I know how to do in the SAP Bi report.
If any one know then plz let me know how can we do in the crystal report.

Create a formula field and add a simple formula there that multiplies your key figure with -1. Add then the formula filed in your report instead of the original key figure.

Stratos
