Short, medium and long descriptions in BPC

Hi all,
I must have 3 types of descriptions in BPC members, short, medium and long.
The only way to achieve this is using properties for two of them, or is there any other option?
Many thanks in advance,
JA

Hello Ja,
"The only way to achieve this is using properties for two of them, or is there any other option?"
I don't understand what this mean... ?
any how, If you are taking about master data loading from BW, then we have an option to choose description whether it is short, medium, long..
while running the DM package in the set selection go to language tab. for reference see the below image...

Display short, medium, and long text in a query

Hi all, we have a requirement to display the short, medium, and long text of an info-object in our queries. Currently, it seems that you can only select one text lenght at a time but not all three of them together. Aside from creating texts as attributes, is there a way to display all of the texts of an info-object?
For example, we have internal orders with 3 texts. When we run the query, we need to see the order number, then the short text, medium text, and long text. Is this possible?
thanks
Kory Squire

yeah you are right, we can get all the texts as attributes. Other than that you can only get any one of them.

Short, medium and long term planning in SNP

Hi,
can somebody explain me what Short, medium and long term planning mean in SNP?
Lets, say I have this scenario:
If I have a product with SNP horizon of 35 days, which means that the product is planned in SNP only after 35 days from today. Only PPDs deals with orders in these 35 days.
I have a 3 planning books
short term with 30 days from today
medium term with 7 months from today and
long term with 2 years from today.
When I say short, medium and long term planning in SNP what exactly happens in these ?? What do users usually do in these books?
SNP horizon is 35 days and the short term book is 30 days long, in which SNP does nothing. What's the use of this book?
Thanks.

When I say short, medium and long term planning in SNP what exactly happens in these ??
Nothing much from a technical stand point.
What do users usually do in these books?
Check the Time Bucket Profile for the different books. The short Term Book will be in days, the mid term in weeks and the long term in months/quarters etc. The different books allows users to see the keyfigures in different time-based aggregate level.
But if Heuristic is executed then behaviour will be different. Remember SNP Location Heuristic run uses the bucket of the data view to compute the Net Requirement and then try creating Receipts in each bucket within the time horizon of the data view using suitable master data. So if you run Location Heuristic in the short Term (daily) view then you will have many receipts one per day most likely. If you run in mid-term Weekly view then there are less number of receipts one receipt per week till 7 months. likewise for the long term view.
SNP horizon is 35 days and the short term book is 30 days long, in which SNP does nothing. What's the use of this book?
Maybe just to see the data. Location Heuristic run will not generate any new receipt.
Thanks,

Showing short , medium and long texts together

Hi,
I have 0material and have navigational attribute -subdivision.
I need subdivision to be seen in the report as following
<b>KEY | TEXT SHORT | TEXT LONG</b>
is there a way to show those together in Reporting?
I know i can show KEY- SHORT TEXT or KEY-LONG TEXT but they are not useful for me.
Regards
Mete

Hi Mete,
you need to add the subdivision as infoprovider. Create a infosource just for subdivision and short and long text. Assign the text datasource to that infosource. Add 0txtsh and 0txtlg as attributes to the subdivision. Create a update rule from your new infosource to subdivision and update the subdivision and txtsh and txslg. But here you need to concentrate on just one language. Additonally post that new infosource to the texts as well providing the language key as well.

Siggi

Display Key and Long Description

Is there any way to display the Key and Long Description for a hierarcy in a query? It looks like the only option is to display Key and short description or Long Description only.
Thanks,
Ron

Hi
These are the basic steps:
1. upgrade to BW 3.5
2. choose to display as key and text
3. choose key + long text
the following links says the step by step procedure to do it:

Creation of short text and long text?

Hi,
We create short text by using oe_fnd_attachments_pub.create_short_text_document and oe_fnd_attachments_pub.add_attachment API and to create long text we use fnd_documents_pkg.insert_row .
Why is it that we have different approaches for creation of short text and long text?
I know that oe_fnd_attachments_pub.add_attachment is used to attach a short text to some entity,but then why we dont do the same for long text?
Please lemme knw urgently ...
Thanks and Regards
Amar

Thanks for the help,
I looked into the document and i got to know few things as to how short and long text are created, but can u tell when the records are inserted into fnd_attached_documents, because i can see that records are inserted into fnd_attached_short_text and fnd_attached_long_text, fnd_documents but i dont see any insertion into fnd_attached_documents, can u lemme knw how and when it is done?

Multi Language Description and Long description update.

Hi Guru,
I would like to know the possible ways to upload the description and long description in multiple languages for the existing items in mass. For newly created items, we can enter the data in language form tied to the description.
Is it possible to do with APC WebADI.? or any other suggestion would be highly appreciable.
Venkatesh

I solved the problem by myself. It's a customizing with OBVU.
Hope it can help others.

Why have byteValue in Short, Integer and Long?

What good is the method byteValue() in Short, Integer and Long? It really only makes sense in Byte. This only helps if you are only interested in downcasting your number to a byte. It seems to me Number should also implement toByteArray() or something since all of the subclasses could at least return an array with one element.
Maybe we should just have a method toChar() with no args in String and do away with toCharArray()!?
Please help me out if I am missing something here.
MR

yeah, a toByteArray() method would be pretty damn useful!
a little query regarding byteValue() it says it may involve rounding or truncation, but in none of the subclasses does it specify which of these will occur ;/
would a short with the value 00000000 11111111
be returned as 01111111(rounded) or 11111111(truncated)?

Short Text and Long Text for WBS

HI All,
I am working on Interface Project where I need to enter Short description and long text for a WBS with external text.
Let me know if any FM Module is exist for same where I can Put this Short Description and Long Text seprately for a WBS Element.
Regards,
Atul R. Rajmane

Hi Atul,
I think you can enter short description & long text seprately for a WBS while creating entire struture of project in PS only. I don't think other than PS you will be able to enter short & long text for individual WBS.

Difference betwen short text and long text

Hi,
what is the difference between short text, long text and variant.

Hi,
Short text is the short description you give for an object or field simlarly long text is the long description for a object or field.
Short text cannot have lenght more than 20 and long text more than 60.
Variant means for example if you give certain values as an input in one of your transaction for testing and you want the same values to be used every time you test in that particular screen, then instead of inputting the values again n again you call the variant.
Hope this helps
Assign points if useful

Need table with Variant ID and Long Description

Hello,
I have a list of ZPAK_* infopackages that I want to translate to their Long Description names. I can search by the Variant ID in RSA1 and find the name but this is a long process and I have over 100 infopackages.
Does anyone know of a table that has both of these fields?
Thank you

Thank you
You saved me an afternoon of mindless cutting and pasting

Field Short Text and long Text not displayed in SKA1 in Se17

When try to extract chart of account data from SAP using Tcode se17 and table ska1. Short text and G/L acc long text are not displayed where as these are displayed when we use t code se16 and table ska1.
My client want to use specifically se17 for extracting the data.

Vineet,
that's a joke isnt' it ?
se17 is from SAP-Rel 2.1 or s.th.!
all jokes aside - the inclusion of text table (here table skat - to table ska1) is only realized with transcations SE16 and SE16N.
To program this inclusion to se17 is very costly - i think and a modification too!
hope you can persuade your client

Short Version and Long Version

I can see that there are two different versions on http://www.adobe.com/products/captivate/buying-guide.html
Under pricing there is no mention of the option to purchase either version.
Or if there is I am missing it.
If I subscribe which version do I get ?
Incidentially it would be nice to be able to actually contact Adobe to ask this question but.....

I really have to ask an incredibly stupid question then.
Why do you have a version comparison chart when you only have one version ?
Just curious...
The versions on the site are called Full and Long and if they don't exist, it is a little confusing for customers.
( I am assuming you work for Adobe as you speak so confidently about this.)

Changing Infoobjects Short and Long description on mass level

Hi,
We are trying to change the descriptions for infoobjects on mass level. We dont want to change the same in dev system and transport since its not feasible to check the consistency of the objects.
Kindly let us know if there is any other alternative for the same.
Thanks,
gaurav

Hi Siggi,
We tried changing the description using this function module and it worked in our DEV system. The concern here is when we check the attribute for this SAP standard function module it shows status "Not Released" under General Data tab.
Can we follow this appraoch as we could not find any other impacts since it changes only the text part of infoobject.
Thanks for the inputs!!

Gaurav
