Time Dependent Text

Hello, how do I set up my flat file to load time dependent text object. I encounter DTP errors when I tried the flat file with just customer key and text but not the date to and from information. is it necessary to have these fields to load? Thanks for your time. As you can tell I am just starting in SAP universe.

Hi,
It depends upon the option which you have chosen.
In the master data/text tab in the infoobject if you have chosen short text check box then it will show short text only and mapped it to the source in tranformation.
The text for this inffobject is time dependent and values are determined by the  validity periods range date to and date from.
For other infoobject you have chosen both the boxes and mapped them to the source fileds in transformation thats why it is showing both the text.
Thanks

  • Displaying Time-Dependent Text in BEx

    I have a report which displays texts of the OrgUnit.  The infoobject OrgUnit has time-dependent text.
    I would like to display on the Bex report text information valid at the time in history.
    Example:
    OrgUnit  Begda         Endda          Text
    111        1/1/2003     6/30/2003      ABC
    111        7/1/2003    12/31/9999     XYZ
    When I run the report in history say before 6/30/2003, I would like to see 'ABC' text.
    Please advise.

    Just go into 0ORGUNIT and choose the option: Texts are time-dependent.  You cannot have texts as a navigational attribute.
    However, if you wanted to make them navigational, you would need to create a new attribute and insert the uppercase text values into it.  Make this attribute navigational in both 0orgunit and your cube/ods.
    However, it is much easier to just make your texts time-dependent.

  • Characteristic 0PROFIT_CTR: Time-dependent Master Data Table '/BI0/QPROFIT_

    Hello All,
    I want to release a infoObject 0PROFIT_CTR to Prod. But after releasing the TR it errors with the following messages:
    Characteristic 0PROFIT_CTR: Time-dependent Master Data Table '/BI0/QPROFIT_CTR' not buffered
    Characteristic 0PROFIT_CTR: Time-dependent Text Table '/BI0/TPROFIT_CTR' not buffered
    I went into these tables and also have set the buffering to ON and made them Fully buffered (Checked).
    But even then it gives me same error.
    Please help.

    Hi Harika,
    You are right, you will have to use SE14 in production system, just check that whether you have authorization to use it or not. If you don't have authorization then you can check with Basis team.
    You can execute SE14, then give table name and in the lower part of the screen Click on the option Save and adjust, and activate the table. Once this step is done you can re-import your request.
    Make sure that you do not delete data.

  • SAP - BI -Time dependent Master data texts

    Hi expert,
       We want to modify one of our master data text to time dependent. What will be the impact to the InfoProviders?
    Thanks

    The infoproviders won't be impacted.  However, your queries and the infosource/datasource will be impacted.
    You will need to add in the DATETO and DATEFROM values in your infosource and datasource to use the time dependency.  When you run a query it will select only the text values where the key date falls between the DATETO and DATEFROM values. 
    The key date is normally the day you run the query on -- unless it is changed in the query properties.

  • Change Info Object Master/Text  data in PROD  to Time dependant

    Hello Experts,
    I have an Info Object used in ODS and Cube. Both ODS and Cube has data in it. The Info Object has Text data.
    I need to change Info Object Text data as Time dependant.
    What are best way to make this change? If I make change to Info Object, how it's going to effect Cube and ODS.
    Please advise.
    Thanks

    Bhanu,
    Yes I am selectiong the check box to make IO as time dependant.
    May be I am over complicationg this. Here is my understanding, correct me if I am wrong.
    The IO is used in cube. It belongs to Dimension1. This dimension table is nothing but dim id's and SID's. So the Dimension table is built based on the exist SID values.
    When I make change to IO, the data and SID's will change. Doesn't it cause some data inconsistancy ? And also the IO text table will have multiple rows with the same data but with different validity periods.
    As I said I may be thinking too foolish or technical.
    Please advise.
    Thanks

  • Time-dependent Vendor Master & Handling Special Characters

    Hi,
    I need to extract time-dependent Vendor Master.
    1. The data source for <b>0VENDOR</b> does not have fields to hold the valid date range.
    2. Does the Master data in R/3 for Vendors will hold the valid date range?
    3. The text for <b>0VENDOR</b> provides time-dependent, but how to map the <b>valid from</b> and <b>valid to</b> fields?
    Handling Special Characters:
    We are trying to extract data from Legacy system via DB Connect. The item text field consists of special characters. Of course in BW customization we can specify all the special characters to consider. But the special character we observed is 'square' symbol i.e. 'new line character' in Oracle. We are updating this to an ODS object. When looked at error log, observed that green light for the number of records transferred and updated, but finally when it load into ODS object and activates popping up the error message saying 'could not recognize special character'.
    Please help me getting the 2 issues resolved.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Sudhakar.

    Hi Everyone,
    Thanks for inputs on Special characters issue...
    Finally resolved with below piece of code in the start routine:

      LOOP AT DATA_PACKAGE WHERE NOT /BIC/ZI_DESC IS INITIAL .
        DO.
          IF DATA_PACKAGE-/BIC/ZI_DESC CN  ALLOWED_CHAR.
            REPLACE SECTION OFFSET SY-FDPOS LENGTH LEN OF
                    DATA_PACKAGE-/BIC/ZI_DESC WITH C_CHAR.
            FLAG = SPACE.
          ELSE.
            FLAG = 'X'.
          ENDIF.
          IF FLAG = 'X'.
            EXIT.
          ENDIF.

  • Time-dependent BW hierarchies in Analysis for OLAP

    Hi all,
    We are using time-dependent hierarchies in combination with a key date variable.
    Tools used: Query designer based on SAP BW 7.4 and BO 4.0.
    The following steps are executed:
    Report is executed and key date is prompted
    According to the key date, the correct time-dependent organisation hierarchy will be used in drill-down
    Bring up variable screen again and select different key date
    The drill-down changes according to the now correct time-dependent organisation hierarchy
    The above scenario works for BEx Analyzer, BEx Web, Analysis for Office - but not for Analysis for OLAP.
    Whenever I run through this scenario and confirm the updated key date, the following error is displayed:
    cube.get.dimension.info.runtime.error : java.lang.IllegalStateException: There is no default hierarchy for dimension [ORG].
    In the user guide I don't find any specifics about the hierarchies and since it works in all the other applications, I wonder where the error is coming from. I also could not find it anywhere else in the forum.
    Has anyone experienced the same error or any suggestions?

  • Issue while creating a heirarchy using Hierarchy Structure Time dependent

    Hi every body
    I created an Info object(SREP) with Heirarchy Strututre Time Dependent property. When i am creating an Heirarchy for the info object(SREP) i am not able to see any text node by default, do we need to create it explicitly or system would propose one node by defalut..
    I created a text node manually then and tried to assign an another info object(SREG) as a child using an option of "Insert Characterstic", but i am getting a message as "InfoObject SREG is not entered for InfoObject SREP as a Foreign Heirarchy Characterstic", and system is again proposing to assign some info object as a child.
    Thanks in advance..

  • G/L Account Time-dependency features

    Hi Experts,
    We are facing a major problem regrading to some atributes of GL Accounts in project in an Insurance company.
    First of all, we need the account Texts to be time-dependent because they do change throughout time, so the users can keep track of change and display the correct information in reports depending on time of evaluation.
    The second point is related to the relationship of G/L account and Alternative account. This kind of thing also changes throughout time and need to be tracked because the Balance Sheet will be generated based on Alternative Chart of Accounts that will be reflected based on GL Accounts postings.
    Has anyone ever faced a situation like this? What would be the implications/viability of using ABAP developments to make these things operational?
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.
    Fabio

    Hi Fabio,
    I believe this is not possible, As GL accounts do not have time -dependent fields.
    You may achieve the same with a work-around like this
    Create two accounts CLAIMS and REJECTED CLAIMS
    If you need the balance in CLAIMS to be shown under REJECTED CLAIMS from 01.09.2009
    - make a JV transfer posting from CLAIMS to REJECTED CLAIMS on 01.09.2009  instead of changing the account name,
    Now if you execute the Balance Sheet as on 30.08.09 (key date <01.09.09) you
    would see the balance under CLAIMS
    but if you executed the balance sheet with key date >01.09.09 you would see the balance under REJECTED CLAIMS
    Similarly you may  create two accounts (B1 and B2) and assign them to two different alternative accounts (A1 and A2 respectively) and make a transfer posting from B1 to B2 when you need to change this relation.
    Hope it helps

  • Time-dependent master data in the cube and query

    Hello,
    I have a time-dep. masterdata infoobject with two time-dep attributes (one of them is KF). If i add this infoobject into the cube, what time period SID will be considered during the load? I assume it only matters during load, if i add the KF to the query it gets its value based on the SID in the cube.. right?
    Thanks,
    vamsi.

    If its Time Dependent Master Data object when you run your Master Data if that time any changes to the Master Data that value will be overwrite to the old value you will get the new value. When you run the Query execution the Infocube Master Data infoobject will having the SID that time it will to there it will be displayed at that moved what is the value you have in the Master Data table.
    This is what my experience.
    Thanks,

  • Data not uploading in Time dependent Master data Infoobject

    Hello All,
    I have a master data infoobject for HR entity and have to load data from PSA to that info object.

    HR Entity
    Start Date
    End Date
    X
    01.01.2012
    18.12.2013
    Once I loaded this data to the infoobject, i can not see this value which is the latest value of this HR entity.
    Can somebody please explain how the data gets loaded in the time dependent master data infoobject and why this entry is not getting loaded in the info object.
    Regards
    RK

    Hi,
    did you activate master data after your load?
    You can check also version 'M' records and see if your record is there.
    The load went green?
    The problem is, that your entry overlaps all exisitng time intervals, which can't be deleted or merged as there may be dependent transactional data. You have first to delete the transactional data for this entity.
    Then you can delete the time-dependent data and reoload it from your PSA.
    BW will build then correct time intervals.
    The easiest is to change the time interval in PSA, see example below:
    At the moment the time interval is not accepted. But you can add time intervalls before 31.12.2011 and after 01.07.2013, Then system will create remaiing time intervals, e.g. your new record is:
    HR Entity
    Start Date
    End Date
    X
    01.08.2013
    18.12.2013
    Result will be:
    HR Entity
    Version
    Date from
    Date To
    x
    A
    19.12.2013

  • 0CS_Item with time-dependent hierarchy

    Dear Experts,
    we are discussing pros and cons for a time-dependent item catalog (characteristic 0CS_item with time dependent hierarchy in BW) within consolidation SEM BCS 4.0. Does anybody has experiences on this topic?
    I am quite sure it will be a performance issue and it means additional reporting effort (e.g. using reference period/year in the report comparing different hierarchies).
    I am not sure if there are any other risks so I it would be great if anybody has some hints.
    Thanks in advance,
    Birgit Laux

    Birgit,
    Some other things to consider:
    - frequency of changes to item hierarchy. Could lead to a lot of item hierarchies in BW over time.
    - hierarchy validity date does not seem to be displayed when running web queries and thus makes it difficult for the user to select the correct hierarchy when executing the query. Still looking for a fix for this.
    - greater complexity in overall design. Is it really necessary to achieve correct financial statement presentation?
    Virtual cube performance is not great but you could implement the data mart which provides typical BW query performance.
    I stayed away from setting the item as time dependent for these reasons.
