Selection Variable - List Key and Text filtered by master data attribute.

Hi Gang,
Is there a way to create a selection variable on a master data InfoObject, so that only a subset set of values (Key and Text) is presented to users, based on an attribute of that InfoObject?
For example, can we create a selction variable for raw materials so the we display 0MATERIAL key and text for selection, where material type = ROH ?
Our users don't want to wade through all values for all materials.
Thanks for your help,
John Hawk

Hi,
yes you can do it, you need to set type as navigational attribute in you infocube, and you will get type as characteristic in designer so you can modify it as requirement.
hope it helps

How are attributes and texts for a master data linked and targeted to ...?

Our previous consultants used to load data to master data 0MATL_GROUP.
1. RSA1 -> InfoProvider -> Select 0MATL_GROUP or 0MATL_GROUP___T
Check these above two and find the records loaded are both 1,216 for Language EN.
We check the data flow of this master data (0MATL_GROUP or 0MATL_GROUP___T) and find there are four branches which target 0MATL_GROUP:
branch 1: 0MATL_GROUP is itself an InfoSource and the datasource is 0PROD_CATEG_R3_MAP_ATTR. However under this datasource, there is no any InfoPackage, i.e., the system doesn't load data to 0MATL_GROUP through this branch.
branch 2: Through InfoSource 0MATERIAL_ATTR. However the InfoPackage under this InfoSource target data load to 0MATERIAL but not 0MATL_GROUP, i.e., the system doesn't load data to 0MATL_GROUP through this branch.
branch 3: Through InfoSource ZMATL_GROUP_ATTR and it's corresponding datasource Z_MAT_GROUP_ATTR. InfoPackage monitor shows the data load record for this datasource is 490 (Run RSA3 on R3 for this datasource also gives the same record count).
branch 4: Through InfoSource 0MATL_GROUP_TEXT and it's corresponding datasource has the same name. InfoPackage monitor shows the data load record for this datasource is 1190 for Language EN (RSA3 on R3 for this datasource gives the same count for language EN).
2. InfoObj. 0MATL_GROUP
1). Master data tab (/BI0/PMATL_GROUP): 526
2). Text table (/BI0/TMATL_GROUP):
1657 (includes both EN and other lan-guages), for EN: 1190.
3. Check R3 Table T023T (Material Group Descrip-tions) for EN: 1190.
Our questions are:
1. The InfoProvider 0MATL_GROUP and 0MATL_GROUP___T
both have counts of 1,216 for Language EN. And for the four branches in the data flow, only 3rd and 4th branches feed data to it. 3rd branch (datasource Z_MAT_GROUP_ATTR) feed count is 490 and 4th branch (datasource 0MATL_GROUP_TEXT) feed count is 1190 for Language EN. We wonder how attribute and text data are corelated to each other and with it's master data. Obviously 1,216 is not equal to the sum of 1190 and 490, the how 1190 (text) and 490 (attribute) constitute the master data count 1,216?
2. Do we have to use 1st and 2nd branches to feed data to 0MATL_GROUP?
3. How InfoObj. 0MATL_GROUP Master data tab (/BI0/PMATL_GROUP) shows the count is 526? it should be 490 from the custom datasource Z_MAT_GROUP_ATTR, right? But why the count is different?
We would be appreciated any expert input!

Kevin,
can you check the data in Material Group charecterstic againest R/3. One moe thing check how these 4 branches Mapped to material Group?
Take the for Attributes it should be 490. it is 525. try to analyse what are the extra records comparing with Source. take the you found so and so meterial group extra then analyze from where is it getting extracted to BW i mean which DS.. (either branch 1 or brach 2 or branch 3 or 4). then check in R/3 side DS for the 4 branches. then you will know what exactly happening.
Analyze the data from step by step from r/3 to BW for each level. You will get clue.

CustomerNumber    Description
C11111                     Pepco
C11112                     Coke
but usually in Bex Analyzer it displys as following(Text without column Name)
CustomerNumber
C11111                     Pepco
C11112                     Coke
Please suggest how can we achive this requirement, thanks in advance.

Chandra

Hi Chandra,
I suggest you to enhance your datasource with text feild, by adding text feild to your datasource in ECC side and replicate it ti BI side.
For this you have to write code at CMOD.

Key and text for variable

Dear ALL,

how to enable the key and text for a variable.
pls asap
regards,
Jenish

Hi jenish kumar ,
if i under stan your requirement correctly, need to have both text and key values for variables with F4 help.
you need to chnage the properties of that infoobject at infoobjects level or at infoprovider level,
this is at infoprovider level
in RSA1-> go to change mode of infoprovider (Multiprovider/ cube) on which Query is build) then Expand Charecteristc Dimension -> select infoobject -> right -> select provider-specific properties -> select Display '0 Key and Text' . Activate infoprovider and Run Query and check the Selection screen.
hope this helps

Key and text replaced with "???" in variable selection after SPS Upgrade

Hello community
I have a problem regarding the variable screen.
We recently upgraded to SAPKW70021 and SP19 in Java. After this a problem appeared in web reporting and variable selection. When users are prompted to enter a value for fiscal year for example, the input help displays "???" instead of years. When you choose an "???" randomly from the list and add to your selection, the year is displayed correctly. The same issue is present with company code selection and other user input variables as well, the selection list is filled with "???" for both key and text.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this problem?
best regards
Antti Lyytikäinen

Hi,
Note 1368055 describes this issue. You need to implement the mentioned java patch for the BI components and set the parameter mentioned in the note to solve this issue.

Enabling Key and text for the Variable Selection screen

I need to display key and text for a characteristic when selecting the drop down menu in the variable selection screen of a web report. In the Business Explorer tab within the info-object, I changed the General Settings to display Key and text, but when I open the drop down menu for this characteristic, it is still displaying the key only. Is there some other place where this change needs to happen?

Hi,

Key and Text in selection criteria depending on user

Hello,
I have strange situation and I have no idea how to fix this issue. I built the report in BEx and present it to the users. When they expand the selection criteria options (from first pop-up window of variables), they want to see both texts and keys. All of them set up the option "Key and Text" from settings, but some of them see descriptions, some of them see only keys given twice (what happens when there are no descriptions for masterdata). It is a big surprise for me and I am not able to fix it. Do you have any idea?
Best Regards,
Arelis

Hello,
I use BEx Analyzer. The patch level is the same.
Masterdata texts are maintained of course. It it wouldn't - noone would see the texts.

Regards
Atul

hi Atul kumar jais
You have to create a text variable using replacement path for processing type and give the reference object which is the object which you created variable for, "replace with" one with key and anther one with text. Then you can display that in the header of the column or if you are using custom template, you can use webitem for it.
thanks.

Display key and text by WAD command in custom structure hierarchy

Hi everybody,
I have a query using a custom structure with hierarchy layout. As usual the structure does only display its text as descriptions but I can enable the display the key in BEx Web by right-click on the analysis item --> Properties --> Characteristic --> Display. Unfortunately these setting can not be defined directly in the structure within the Query Designer.
For a workaround I put the query into a web template, in which I used the Set Presentation (SET_PRESENTATION) command to enable key and text display from the start. Hence I put that command in the wem template parameters Action Before First Rendering (ACTION_BEFORE_FIRST_RENDERING). Everything is working properly and makes me very happy.
But... there is one thing missing, I would like to implement... I want a toggle button, which allows the user to switch between key and text display and text display. Unfortunately setting the same command from Action Before First Rendering (ACTION_BEFORE_FIRST_RENDERING on a various button does not working. The button command only affects data rows of the leaves of the structure hierarchy. All parent nodes do not change their appearance.
Any ideas how to solve this?
Thank you for any helps and comments!
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,
I have a similar problem. Can you help me? How did you set the entry in Member Presentation of Command SET_PRESENTATION to display key and text? I just found the values to set the only text or only key.

It could be that the infoObject has been disturbed, have you tried just re-activating the object in Production.
Also check the following link :
