Time Dependent
Hi
Can you please let me know how we can make the hierarchy in BW as time dependent.This hierarchy is created in r/3 using SETS.
Do we need to make the hierarchy as time dependent in R/3 itself to make it time dependent in BW or otherwise.
Thanks in advance.
Sarah.
yes your ABC object should be time dependent on BI.
does that mean I have to create sets as time dependent.
no need to create the set as time dependent(the system will figure it out for you), provided the master data of the object should be time dependent.
Meaning - if you have a cost center 1000(master data), it should be have a couple of more fields line date to and from, that would say that the object is time dependent

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.
The HR entity infoobject already have sone data like below:
HR Entity
Version
Date from
Date To
x
A
01.07.2013
31.12.9999
x

01.01.2012
31.08.2012

01.01.1000
31.12.2011
Now the data in PSA is as follows:
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
RKHi,
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

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:
DATA: FLAG,
OFF TYPE I,
LEN TYPE I VALUE 1,
ALLOWED_CHAR(95) VALUE
'0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ`~!@#$%^&*()-_=+ ' &
'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz:;<>,.?/|\{}[]"'''.
CONSTANTS: C_CHAR VALUE '-'.
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.
ENDDO.
MODIFY DATA_PACKAGE.
ENDLOOP.
if abort is not equal zero, the update process will be canceled
ABORT = 0.
I have seen the link sent by 'Eugene Khusainov' today. Thought putting my piece of code that may help others...

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?Hi Peter,
This issue is captured in SAP Note 1941865. Resolved in 4.0 (8.5, 9.2 or SP10) and 4.1 (1.6 or SP03).
Symptom
In BI 4.1, Analysis for OLAP returns errors similar to:"An error occurred in the MDAS service while processing a request from Analysis, edition for OLAP. Try the operation again. If the problem persists, please contact your administrator. (AOC00041)" and/or "cube.get.dimension.info.runtime.error: java.lang.IllegalStateException: There is no default hierarchy for dimension [DIMENSIONNAME]"
The BW Query the AOLAP workspace is created against has 2 different hierarchies that have the same text description
Environment
SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence platform 4.0
SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence platform 4.1
Analysis, edition for OLAP
Reproducing the Issue
In CMC, create an OLAP BICS connection to a multi provider
Connect to BI launchpad and launch Analysis, edition for OLAP.
Use the connection to create a new workspace.
The error is observed
Cause
This issue has been logged as a defect under ADAPT01720287 for BI4.0 and ADAPT01713663 for BI4.1
Resolution
A fix for this issue is included in the following maintenance releases:

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

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.

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.

Delivery cost in scheduling agreement having time dependent condition
Hi experts,
We have one peculiar requirement.
We have palnt at indonesia. We are doing import there from india.
Our requirement is as follows.
1. We should use scheduling agreement with time dependent conditions. Because we want to track the price changes and sometimes we want to retro pricing effect and revaluate it.
2. We want to add importers vat and import tax.
3. But those tax amount should not get added into inventory
4. During MIRO it should get accounted to vendor.
We could succeed this by removing "Time dependend condition" check in document type config.
But our client is definitely required the point no 1.
But when we activate time dependent condition check, during MIRO those conditions are not appearing. But if you remove that check, it is appearing in MIRO accounting.
Can any one suggest suitable solution?
Or SAP MIRO will not permit this scenario?
regards,
K.Sundaresan.delivery cost will not work if u remove the tick Time dependend condition for SA
SAP MIRO will not permit this scenario
so u will have to decide what is more important to u and act accordingly
Solution will be u ask client what is mor imp for there company
as SAP will not support MIRO for deliver for time dependent condition
I had a talk with SAP on this and they have told that
SAP will not support MIRO for deliver for time dependent condition
AS in Case of imports in india we need to do MIRO before GR

What is time dependent master data?
Can anybody explain me in detail with an example for time dependent master data?
Thanks in advance.
Sharat.hi,
the master data value changes with respect to some time characteristics.
say- Salesregion is a char that have sales rep as master data(attribute)
saleregion date from date to sales rep
sr001 20/10/2007 20/12/2007 Ram
sr002 21/12/2007 12/05/2008 Ram
in the above example Ram is in two sales region in different dates.
these type of attributes were time dependent.
usually time period will be defined in the data range of 01/01/1000 to 31/12/9999.

How to create time dependant master data table in R/3?
Hi gurus,
I am new to BW.I try to execute the 'Time dependant Attribute' into BW.in my scenario my source system must give me the data like "salesrep ID,Manager ID,Date to,Date from,Sales region". I like to know how to define this master data in SAP R/3(Source system)?. Give me the steps to create master data table in R/3.
Manager may change periodically.even i need to maintain all the changes in R/3.

Schudling agreement with time dependent excise base value taking wrongly.
Sub: in migo excise base amount is not changing as per the scheduling agreement type LP ( time dependent ).
I have created the scheduling agreement type LP with time dependent.
I have maintained the price value in two validated period i.e
01/07/08 to 31/07/08 price is 100 rs.
01/08/08 to 31/08/08 price is 200 rs.
I have maintained the delivery schedule on
15/07/08 of quantity 1 nos.
When I am doing the goods receipts for the scheduling agreement on
Document date I am giving 15/07/08.
Posting date I am giving 15/07/08.
I am giving the posting date in the excise also 15/07/08.
After item ok.
When I will the excise base value it is taking 200 and also excise duty is also calculating on 200.
When I will post the document
The stock account and GR/IR account is taking 100 only
And excise duty is posting for rs: 200 only
Why the excise base value is not changing as per the validity period.
What setting I have to do the change the excise base value as per the validity date maintained in the time dependent .
regards
jrpHi
I was wondering in J1ID there is validity from date only no to date, Pls tell where you have maintained excise base amount based on from to period.
In J1ID if you maintain any new accesable value for the later date it will consider that.

Change to cost center in time dependent data. Can I rerun depreciation YTD?
I need to change the cost center in October (Period 10) Period 9 and prior are already closed. I thought that since I put the Interval for the new cost center as 1/1/11 that it might do and adjustment in October reversing the depreciation posted for the old cost center and put the YTD depreciation in the new cost center, but it did not. it only posted the current month depreciation to the new cost center. Is there any way to do this? Thank you very much.
Hi. Thanks for your reply. I went into the ABAA screen, but I am afraid to process this transaction because I do not understand what is going to happen. I cannot find any documentation that explains this. I have already changed the cost center on the asset and run depreciation. It posted the current month depreciation to the new cost center, but it did not make a correction to the prior periods. I am not creating a new asset, i just want to reclass the prior months depreciation (in the current year) to the new cost center. In case it will help I provide some details:
Asset acquired 5/1/11 Depreciation posted to Cost Center A From May - Sept $1,796.06 per month x 5 = $8,980.30
Before posting Oct depreciation, I went to Master Data - Time Dependent - and changed the cost center as of 1/1/11. So I now have two intervals: From 1/1/1900-Cost Center A, and From 1/1/11 - Cost Center B. I then ran the regular depreciation for Oct. It posted Oct Depreciation of $1,796.06 to the new Cost Center-Cost Center B. My total YTD depreciation is now $10,776.36, but it is split between two cost centers. I need to move the depreciation from Cost Center A to Cost Center B for the prior months. If it was a Journal Entry, I would do it as follows in the month of October, so my YTD numbers would be correct.
Debit Depreciation Cost Center B $8,980.30
Credit Depreciation Cost Center A $8,980.30
Then when I run my October numbers it would show zero depreciation in Cost Center A Year To Date (and negative 8,980.30 in month of October)
If i follow the steps you propose, what would be the result? Thanks so much! -

How to Display Time-Dependent Characteristic Data In Query
Hi Experts,
I have encountered a problem. I want to use Time-Dependent Chart. And want to display different value according characteristc's valid from time. For Example,
The Characteristic 0COSTCENTER has the navigation attribute 0COMPANY, The data as:
0COSTCENTER Valid from Valid To 0COMPANY
BW2305 20070101 20070430 A
BW2305 20070501 99991231 B
I want the report can display as :
0COSTCENTER Valid from Valid To 0COMPANY AMOUNT
BW2305 20070101 20070430 A 1000
BW2305 20070501 99991231 B 2000
But when I set the query's key date 20070420, the report display as:
0COSTCENTER Valid from Valid To 0COMPANY AMOUNT
BW2305 20070101 20070430 A 1000
BW2305 20070501 99991231 A 2000
when I set the query's key date 20070520, the report display as:
0COSTCENTER Valid from Valid To 0COMPANY AMOUNT
BW2305 20070101 20070430 B 1000
BW2305 20070501 99991231 B 2000
Can anybody tell me how I can get report expected.
Thanks in advance.
SFHi,
1) Add the characterstics 0COSTCENTER ,0DATETO,DATEFROM and 0COMPANY to the cube.
2) And also add these 4 IOs to the Communication structures which has update rules with the concern cube.
3) I hope , you already have 0COSTCENTER in the Commnication structure and mapping for that infoobject at both Update rules and Transfer rules.
4) Leave to the Blank(no mapping) mappings for the IOs 0DATETO,DATEFROM and 0COMPANY in the Transfer rules.But make 1:1 mapping in the Update rules for these 2 infoobjects.
5) Write the below code in the strt routine of the Update rules:
TYPES: BEGIN OF type4.
include structure like /BI0/QCOSTCENTER.
TYPES END OF type4.
DATA:
ITAB4 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF TYPE4
WITH HEADER LINE
WITH NON-UNIQUE DEFAULT KEY INITIAL SIZE 0.
SELECT * FROM /BI0/QCOSTCENTER INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS
OF TABLE ITAB4
WHERE OBJVERS = 'A'.
loop at DATA_PACKAGE.
READ TABLE ITAB4 WITH KEY COSTCENTER = DATA_PACKAGE-MATERIAL
DATETO LE DATA_PACKAGE-PSTNG_DATE
DATEFROM GE DATA_PACKAGE-PSTNG_DATE.
IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
DATA_PACKAGE-DATETO = ITAB4-DATETO.
DATA_PACKAGE-DATEFROM = ITAB4-DATEFROM.
DATA_PACKAGE-COMP_CODE = ITAB4-COMP_CODE.
ENDIF.
Modify DATA_PACKAGE.
endloop.
ABORT = 0.
Here I assumed you have Posting date in the Communication structure and used to map to Fiscalperiod of the cube.
6) Do the Master data upload to Cost center and active the master data of it always before uploading the data to cube.
7) Do the uploading to cube from Sratch.
With rgds,
