Unable to Change Key Figure in DP

Hello Experts,
I am facing an error in Demand Planning.  There is an existing Key figure in which I need to change the Type/Data type from Number to Quantity wherein it is showing Grey(uneditable) even in Change mode.  The other tabs like Aggregation, Additional Properties are showing as editable.
Could you please provide how to modify this Type/Data type field in the key figure.  I would appreciate your quick turnover based on which I need to decide on my solutioning approach to my client.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
R. Senthil Mareeswaran.

Hi Senthil,
Try to delete the existing data in your key figure. and then try to change the key figure type. However in SNP i checked that keyfigure type can be changed. Are using RSA1 for this?
Thanks,
Satyajit

  • Changing key figure values in DSO/Cube

    Experts,
    I have a DSO and a Cube and the data has been already loaded in to a amount Key Figure. By default it is 2 decimal places. I want to change the decimals to 7. I cannot delete data from the cube or the DSO.
    Can you please suggest some ideas to do this.
    I came accross this note 579342 which talks about realigning this but as I have not implemented this before, I wanted to get your thoughts on if this is safe to do.
    Thanks

    Hi Yashu,
    I did this with using system message board and I put message on EP tooo.
    So you do a small R&D. Run this report and let me know too if amount data is reflecting in the cube or not.
    Logically it should not but have a try?

  • How To Change Key Figure Name

    Hi Gurus,
    Is it possible to change the name of a Key Figure in Demand Planning? For example, in DP, i have a Key Figure name 'Sales Forecast'. The 'Sales Forecast' currently appears in every Planning book it was set.
    Now, for alignment of understanding, I need to change the name from 'Sales Forecast' to 'Sales Demand' . Basically, i just need to change the text that appear in the Planning book and in the extracted BI reports.
    Logic of Key Figure will remain the same. Is this possible? How do I go about this? I only know of how to add a Key Figure but never thought of how to change the Key Figure name/description.
    Thanks in advance!
    Nap

    Hi,
    You can change it in 2 ways.
    1] Go to each Planning Book in Edit mode.
        In that go to a Tab called Key Figure Attributes.
        Select your Sales Forecast Key figure from the dropdown   against Key Figure.
       Then in Description click the radio button Free Text and give your new name which is Sales Demand.
    This you have to do for all the PB in which this KF is used.
    2] Go to RSA1 : Admin Workbench
    Under Modeling section go to InfoObject.
    Select your KF. Double Click on it. Or right click and go to Change mode.
    Then change the Long and Short Description of the KF as desired.
    Save & Activate the KF.
    This will change your KF description for all the PB in which you have used the same PA.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks,

  • Change Key Figure Value based on Characteristics

    Hi,
        I have a report where based on characteristics value I have to change the value of the key figure either to + (Positive) or -(Negative).
    Is it possible through virtual keyfigure?
    Can anyone give me details of the same.
    If anybody can send me complex reporting document, please send it to
    [email protected]
    Thanks,
    Moon

    Hi.. Do u want to implement this only in the report or store the sign back into the cube ?
    If u just want to use the value of the masterdata as a key figure for calculation (i.e. u can read the value of the masterdata or attribute and write a formula variable that uses this value and returns a sign), use a formula variable with replacement path and u've got ur results.. in case u want to store this in the cube, the transformations would help..
    let me know if this helps and it would help further if u explain the exact scenario...

  • Unable to find key figure attribute in the cube

    Hi all of you,
    I am struggling while working on this "Display Attribute". Please read this and help me out.
    I want to create attributes and then load data into a cube.
    I had created an InfoArea IA_ATTRIBUTES.
    Under this IA_ATTRIBUTES I created an InfoObject Catalog IOC_DISPATTR.
    Under IOC_DISPATTR I created an InfoObject ZCUSTNUMB which is my primary key.
    After defining the ZCUSTNUMB I clicked on the Attributes tab and entered the other attributes like ZCUSTNAME, ZCUSTADDR, ZCUSTREGI, ZCUSTLOCA, and ZPRICE. All of these attributes except ZPRICE are characteristics WHILE ZPRICE is a keyfigure.
    I've also made sure that the Attributes only check box is not checked for all the characteristics.
    I then activated the InfoObject ZCUSTNUMB and came back.
    Now I created a cube DISP_ATTR. I clicked on the InfoObject Catalog button and selected the above mentioned catalog IOC_DISPATTR and transferred the IOs from the template into the structure.
    Now when I transfer IOs in this way all the IOs both characteristics and key figures should come into the structure of the cube isnt't. But only characteristics have come and the keyfigure ZPRICE hasn't come.
    Moreover when I hit on the key figures tab and hit on the find button and find ZPRICE I am getting a message saying "No (further) object found". So when I hit on the create button and create a key figure ZPRICE I am getting a message saying "InfoObject ZPRICE already exists as Key Figure (please rename)".
    However when I double click on ZCUSTNUMB which is the primary key, the screen "Display characteristic ZCUSTNUMB: Detail" opens. In this screen I find all the attributes in the attributes tab that I had defined while defining attributes including ZPRICE.
    So what I don't understand is when all the characteristics IOs are visible under the characteristics tab then why am I unable to find the key figure ZPRICE under Key figures tab when I created it while defining attributes. Can anyone please explain me this situation and tell me how should I find the key figure ZPRICE so that I can go ahead and create the cube.
    Lastly I want to know what are the differences between InfoObjects and Attributes. Is an attribute also an IO?
    Please explain.
    I would appropriately rewards your answers.
    Thank you.
    TR.

    Hi Oscar Romero,
    Thanks a lot for your reply. As per your suggestion I created another IOC FOR key figures called IOC_ATTR_KF. In this IOC I had included the key figure ZPRICE and activated the IOC.
    Now I have created a cube again ATTR_DISP. On the right corner where we find 5 buttons I clicked on the InfoObject Catalog button. The screen "Select InfoObject Catalog" opened displaying the IOC_ATTR_KF that I had created earlier. When I double clicked on the IOC_ATTR_KF I got the msg asking "Do you want to transfer the IOs from the template into the structure?" I clicked on Yes. But I don't find any key figures either in the Structure pane or in the Template pane. Both the panes are empty.
    I also clicked on the All InfoObjects button and searched for ZPRICE but again I am getting the message "No "further) object found". However when I try to create ZPRICE I am getting the message ZPRICE already exists.
    Please explain me why this is happening like this?

  • Adding key figures using commands in Web Application Designer?

    Hello, all.
    I have a query the contains several key figures.  From that query, I created a query view in which only one of the key figures is displayed.  I'm using this query view for one of the data providers in a web template.  In Web Applicaiton Designer, I would like to be able to hide the key figure from the data provider and show a different one.  How can I accomplish this using the built-in commands?
    I know I can hide all key figures using the CLEAR_SELECTION_STATE command, but I can't figure out how to use a command such as SET_SELECTION_STATE_SIMPLE to show a different key figure.  Any help would be great!  Thanks.

    I've tried that using the GUI to configure the command, but WAD crashes when I try to open the window where I choose the member name.  The error says:
    "4A6DM1A4LTXPJKA1BA3LD9TTD is not a valid characteristic for InfoProvider MQM_M01."
    I also tried entering the commands as you suggested in the XHTML editor, but that resulted in an error when I tried to execute the command.
    Maybe I can do what I'm trying to do using some method other than changing key figures.  Basically all I want do is change the date range of the data shown using offsets.
    The key figures that I'm trying to add and remove are restricted in Query Designer to different date ranges.  These date ranges use offsets to set the restriction.  For example, one key figure is restricted to display values for only the last 7 days and I'm trying to replace it with a key figure that's restricted to the last 14 days.
    If I knew how to set a filter with offsets using commands in WAD, then I'd use that method, instead.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

  • Behaviour of Hidden Key figures in MDX universe

    Hello Experts,
    I would like to know about the behaviour of Hidden objects in Bex query in an MDX universe. SAP BW environment: BW 7.3 being tried against BI 4.0SP2 and BI 4.0,SP4 and higher.
    In a 4.0,SP2 environment, when the display of an object is set to "Always Hide", the universe is still able to recognize the object and show it in measures at universe level.
    But the same query when accessed from BI 4.0,SP4 onwards environment, the universe is not able to find the objects that are set to always hide and can see only those objects which are set to either "Always Show" or "Hide(Can be shown").Below is the property i am talking about.
    Is this a change in property in BI 4.0,SP04 and higher that if the object needs to be accessed at universe level, it should be set to Always show or Hide(can be shown)?
    Thanks and regards,
    Abhishek

    This is a behaviour of BW 7.3 with BOBJ all versions. Key figures which are Set to Hide(always) cannot be seen in BOBJ , which was the opposite case in BW 7.1 where MDX universes could also recognize always hidden key figures.
    Resolution: Change key figure setting to "Hide(Can be shown) to be displayed and recognized in BOBJ all versions which are connected to BW 7.3 and higher.

  • Property u201Czero allowedu201D must be identical for all Key Figures.

    I am having the following error message when trying to run a Statistical Forecast in the Background.  The job cancels out and I receive the error message:  Property u201Czero allowedu201D must be identical for all Key Figures. 
    When I look in RSA1 under Key Figures Details "zero allowed" appears to be checked for all Key Figures.  Can anyone point me in the correct direction I've already tried searching and did not find the answer.
    Thanks.

    HI,
    The setting is not in RSA1 but is in /SAPAPO/MSDP_ADMIN - Administration of Demand Planning and Supply Network Planning
    choose the relevant Planning area right button click on the Planning area choose change key figure settings. From here you can check the flag Zero allowed for the key figure that Stat. FCST is generated.

  • Change Key Fig. on a aggregated level alowed ?

    Hello Gurus,
    is it possible to change Key Figures on a aggregated Level ?
    THNX

    Hi.
    What do you exactly mean ?
    You can add/remove KF from aggregation levels (KF should exist in infocube).
    You cant change KF in aggr level (I mean you can't change length or other properties of IO via aggr level).
    Regards.

  • Change order of key figure is not working in Web report output (using WAD)

    Hi,
    We are using BI 7.0, release 701 and level 008. We are facing problem in WAD (web report output). When ever we do 'Select filter' for key figures and 'change the order' of key figures, it does not get reflected in new order. Though drag and drop of key figures is working.
    Though same change order is working fine in Bex Analyser.
    Kindly suggest some inputs.
    Thanks.

    HI,
    The TR will not move the changes as you are expecting here.
    Any changes to planning area, below 5.0 need to de-intialize the planning area.
    just like
    1. hold the latest back up
    2. de-intialize planning area
    3. make the required changes to planning area
    4. initialize planning area and do conisistency checks
    5. load back the data to planning area at all CVC level
    all the steps need to perfom, in Dev and Quality and Production servers,

  • Change Order of key figures

    Hi Gurus,
    We are using BI 7.0. & MS excel 2003 & 2007 both.
    I've designed a query with 10 Key figures.
    After execution, based on Key figures I have Added Local Formula in query.
    Now I want to change the order of Key Figures and bring Newly added Local Formula column at 3rd position.
    I've tried using Select Filter... and changed the order of column as I want, but this doesn't work.
    I can drag the column & drop it at desired position. It's working that way in office 2003.
    But in office 2007, Drag and Drop not working at all. Even for characteristics also.
    Is this problem with BEx Excel Patch? I've installed excel patch for both 2003 & 2007. But still not working properly.
    Please suggest. If you know latest patch available for office 2003 & 2007, please suggest.
    Thanks.

    HI,
    I am on BI7, Excel 2007
    Drag and Drop Functionality for both Char & KF is working fine including the placement of Local Formula.
    seems you need to check with the Basis Team for proper installation of the BEx Excel patch

  • Some key figures are not being correctly reversed in the Change Log

    Hi Experts,
    I'm working with the BI 7 (SP 15) and I have created an ODS with Overwrite option (Record Mode equal to ' ') and a Cube receiving data from this ODS.
    Whenever I have a change in one existing record in R/3 side (already previously loaded to BW), it comes perfectly to the ODS and overwrite the record in the Active Data. However, in the change log table, the before image record is not reversing all the key figures, there is one (Quant type) which is not working and it is being doubled in the cube. All the other key figures are Amount type and are working fine. PLease see below some examples of the Change Log behavior:
    First time the record comes - Change log content:
    Material   Valid Dt   Cost Value      Quantity Rec. Mode      Req. ID
    1234     May/01   $  100.00       10          'N'     1
    Second time when the record changes the Date:
    Material     Date      Cost Value      Quantity Rec. Mode      Req. 1234     May/29   $  100.00       10          '  '     2
    1234     May/01   $  -100.00       10          'X'     2
    Then the final result in the cube, after it is compressed, is:
    Material     Date      Cost Value      Quantity
    1234     May/29   $  100.00       20      
    Also, I have a Counter in the transformation to the Cube which is a constant equal to 1, it is also being aggregated erroneously. I could create a routine to check the record mode coming, but I'm not sure it is the best solution.
    Can anybody help me to figure this out, please?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Rajkumar,
    Actually it is a generic extractor (customized) and the ODS active data is getting the delta records correctly. After I extract from R/3 and activate the ODS, the active table has correct results, but the change log table has the problem described before. All the fields comes from one single extractor.
    The 0RECORDMODE that I mentioned is about the setting in the transformation to the ODS. You have the Technical rule group where you can set the 0RECORDMODE, in my case it is set to ' ' (blank) which means it will receive After-Images from the extractor (which I think is correct in my case). The most curious is that it is working for almost all key figures (all amount type), except for the Price Unit which is Quantity type.
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks.
