Usage of formula variable with custom table for values

Hi,
I have the following scenario:
a customer wants a report regarding payments of invoices with a formula in it to calculate interest results. In order to do so they want to be able to define a interest rate wich can be used to calculate te result by multiplying the rate by time and amount (for every line in the query the same rate should be used).
As a solution I thought it would be easiest to give the key user access to a custom table via a custom transaction and then use the entered rate in the query by selecting it from this table using a formula variable (using an exit).
I was wondering if anyone has ever used such a solution, or if one thinks this is possible.

Hi Brock,
Its possible, but I haven't tried as requirements didn't imply.
More simpler idea is why don't you use a flat file loading through the IP to Info providers?
Or even more better option is why don't you adapt to Virtual Info providers?
For your suggested custom table using custom transaction, we can surely make it. Its possible in SE93. Try this transaction code. It must definitely help.
Thanks,

Formula Variable with customer exit

Hi,
can we use Formula variables with customer exit based on characteristics(ex Bill date)? if yes, can you guys help me on this.
Thanks
kri

Yes , you can use a formula variable with customer exit based on characteristics .
Depends on the requirement what you want to show in the formula variable ,
Eg : if you want to show the max fiscal year period , in that case :
create a new formula in the keyfigure section of your query , go to edit , you can see formula variable below the keyfigures ,
right click on the same and create new formula variable :
Write the code for the formula varible in the backend as we do for normal customer exit varaible :
for this e.g the code will be :
FORM get_variable_value
      tables E_T_RANGE      type RSR_T_RANGESID
      using I_VNAM          type RSZGLOBV-VNAM
            I_VARTYP        type RSZGLOBV-VARTYP
            I_IOBJNM        type RSZGLOBV-IOBJNM
            I_S_COB_PRO     type RSD_S_COB_PRO
            I_S_RKB1D       type RSR_S_RKB1D
            I_PERIV         type RRO01_S_RKB1F-PERIV
            I_T_VAR_RANGE   type RRS0_T_VAR_RANGE
            I_STEP          type I.
DATA L_S_RANGE LIKE LINE OF E_T_RANGE.
DATA loc_var_range LIKE rrrangeexit.
Data : l_inPer TYPE string.
IF i_step = 1.
Select min( distinct FISCPER )
        from /BIC/A(DSO name)
        into l_minper .
    l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
    l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
    l_s_range-low = l_minper .
    APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
endif.
drag the formula variable in the new formula created and exexcute the query , you will be able to see the output .
This is just an example , your code will differ as per your requirement .

Formula Variable with customer Exit (ABAP Code)

Hi Experts,
Please advise me wether i am going in the right way to achieve my requirment else please advise me any alternate approach and update me with the abap code for my customer exit as i am not familiar with ABAP.
My Requirment:
Data :
Emp_ID----Start_Date(DATS)---End_Date(DATS)
I had a user entry (intreval) VARIABLE created on Start_Date
User will enter the date intreval he want to analyze...
Ex: 01.01.2008 to 01.02.2008
Now i want to use the No of Days between user entered date intreval in my calculaction of a keyfigure
In the above example it is 31 days
So i created a Formula Variable of Customer Exit now i need a code that will
pass the user entered dates to
FM: FIMA_DAYS_AND_MONTHS_AND_YEARSImport parameters Value
I_DATE_FROM 01.01.2008
I_DATE_TO 01.02.2008
I_FLG_SEPARATE ' '
Export parameters Value
E_DAYS 31
E_MONTHS 1
E_YEARS 1
and need to pass the E_DAYS (31) to the result of formula
User Entry Variable (Intreval) : ZST_VAR
Formula Variable (Customer Exit) : ZND_EXIT
Code
WHEN 'ZND_EXIT'.
    DATA: low_date2 TYPE d,
    high_date2 TYPE d,
    num_days TYPE N,
    new_low_date2 TYPE d.
    IF i_step = 2.
      LOOP AT i_t_var_range INTO ls_varrange WHERE vnam = 'ZST_VAR'.
        CLEAR l_s_range.
        l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
        l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
        ls_varrange-low = low_date2.
        ls_varrange-high = high_date2.
CALL FUNCTION 'FIMA_DAYS_AND_MONTHS_AND_YEARS'
EXPORTING
    I_DATE_FROM          = low_date2
    I_DATE_TO            = high_date2
    I_FLG_SEPARATE       = ' '
IMPORTING
    E_DAYS               = NUM_DAYS
l_s_range = NUM_DAYS.
APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
EXIT.
ENDLOOP.
endif.

Hello,
Before the WHEN statement it shoud have a CASE statement. In the user exit coding place your WHEN statement anywhere between CASE...ENDCASE statement.
your code should look like
DATA: low_date2 TYPE d,
high_date2 TYPE d,
num_days TYPE N,
new_low_date2 TYPE d.
Case i_vnam.
WHEN 'ZND_EXIT'.
IF i_step = 2.
LOOP AT i_t_var_range INTO ls_varrange WHERE vnam = 'ZST_VAR'.
CLEAR l_s_range.
l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
l_s_range-opt = 'BT'.
low_date2 = ls_varrange-low.
high_date2 = ls_varrange-high.
CALL FUNCTION 'FIMA_DAYS_AND_MONTHS_AND_YEARS'
EXPORTING
I_DATE_FROM = low_date2
I_DATE_TO = high_date2
I_FLG_SEPARATE = ' '
IMPORTING
E_DAYS = NUM_DAYS
l_s_range-low = NUM_DAYS.
APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
EXIT.
ENDLOOP.
endcase.

User input formula variable with greater than/less than operators for KFG

Hello all,
I have used a formula in my query that is a difference of two key figures .For e.g:
Difference = tax from system A - tax from system B.
Now when the users run the report they should be prompted for the 'Difference' threshold for seeing the report say where difference is greater 100 or equal to 10 and so on.Currrently I have created a formula variable with 'user input' and created a 'condition' to display 'Difference' greater than the user entered value.
However,it is required to have various selection options for setting the threshold of difference.For e.g User should be able to set say 'equal to'/'greater than/less than/not equal to operator for 'difference' in the initial selection screen of the report.
With the current user-input formula variable I am not getting these 'greater than' etc operators.Any ideas on how to achieve this?

Ya know, that's all well and good ... BUT ... WHAT IF you do want to sort text type columns with Greater Than and Less Than operatiors??
SQL does it just Fine ... so WHY does APEX have the limit??? This is an Oracle BUG ... it SHOULD NOT limit the operators ... I realize "they" may be trying to be helpful with proper constraints to field searches ... but ... if SQL can do it, then ... no need for a limit.
EG ...
Show the records where
the "Begin_Year-Wk" data is less than or equal to "2009-09" AND
the "End_Year-Wk" data is greater than or equal to "2009-04"
... to give everything that was running in that 5 week period whether or not it starts within that time frame
I can run this query perfectly fine via SQL ... but not in APEX ... unless I reconvert a lot of strings back to numbers, and for sorting / formatting / explain-to-user purposes, I really don't want them to be numbers.
So ... there's gotta be a hidden tweak for operators somewhere ...

Formula variable in Customer exit

Hi Experts,
I need help.
I create
 first Formula variable (Z_OPTSEL) for a user entry, mandatory, ready for input, dimension ID = Number and
 second Formula variable (Z_OPT1), customer exit, mandatory, not ready for input, dimension ID = Number .
User Exit code in ZXRSRU01 is :
When 'Z_OPT1'.
case i_step.
when '2'.
clear e_t_range.
read table I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO loc_var_range with key vnam = 'Z_OPTSEL'.
if sy-subrc = 0.
 if loc_var_range-low = '1'.
 l_s_range-low = '2'.
 endif.
 if loc_var_range-low = '2'.
 l_s_range-low = '0'.
 endif.
endif.
l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
clear l_s_range-high.
APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
endcase.
Unfortunately, I get no value in loc_var_range-low (from Z_OPTSEL) so , I never can fill up Z_OPT1 !! What could I do to fix it ?
Any help would be welcome .
Thanks


My Dear Friend 
Please try the below code: 
Case vnam. 
When 'Z_OPT1'. 
check i_step = 2. 
 
read table I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO loc_var_range with key vnam = 'Z_OPTSEL'. 
 
if sy-subrc = 0. 
Clear l_s_range. 
if loc_var_range-low = '1'. 
l_s_range-low = '2'. 
endif. 
if loc_var_range-low = '2'. 
l_s_range-low = '0'. 
endif. 
endif. 
l_s_range--sign = 'I'. 
l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'. 
APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range. 
endcase. 
 
Hope it helps.

Formula variable with replacement path

HI ,
1. Is it possible to use "Customer exist- without user entry variable in the formula variable with the replacement ?
2. if I use two variable for a same time char in one report (one is User entry variable and the other is customer exit variable for calculating current system date), then how it will work ? (User entry variable is there in the "Char restrictions" section and the customer exit variable is customer exit used in formula variable)
Thanks in Advance.
Thanks
Rajesh

1. Is it possible to use "Customer exist- without user entry variable in the formula variable with the replacement ?
Yes. use I_step=1
I_STEP = 1
Call takes place directly before variable entry. Can be used to pre populate selection variables
I_STEP = 2
Call takes place directly after variable entry. This step is only started up when the same variable is not input ready and could not be filled at I_STEP=1.
I_STEP = 3 In this call, you can check the values of the variables. Triggering an exception (RAISE) causes the variable screen to appear once more. Afterwards, I_STEP=2 is also called again.
2. if I use two variable for a same time char in one report (one is User entry variable and the other is customer exit variable for calculating current system date), then how it will work ? (User entry variable is there in the "Char restrictions" section and the customer exit variable is customer exit used in formula variable)
Yes you can use both the variable of time char to restrict a characteristic but that should not be used on single characteristic.
You can use the sys defined 0date on one field and the customised one Zsydatum on other char.

Formula variable with replacement path on system date

Hi Experts,
I got a requirement to calculate "Days without payment" in report level.
Days without payment = System Date - Payment Date.
(Payment date field is available in CUBE, but system date field is not available in the CUBE)
As we know, the difference b/w 2 dates is not possible directly.It can be possible by creating 2 formula variables with replacement paths on the dates and by writing aformula on these 2 formula variables.
But the thing is I dont have system date readily available, and I tried by using SAP Exit. But we cant create formula variable replacement path on another variable (SAP EXIT).
Do we have any SAP variable for formula with replacement path readily avaliable to get system date (or) any other suggession.
Please suggest me.
Thanks,
Sai Chand.S

Hi Arminder,
Thanks for your valuable answer.
I tried doing the same previously.As u said we can get system date by creating customer exit variable.
But the thing is to find difference b/w 2 dates, we cant do it directly, we need to create 2 formula variables with replacement path.
1) Var1 = Formula variable with replacement path on system date(custoer exit variable).
2) Var2 = Formula variable with replacement path on paymanet date.
Number of days = var1 - var2.
But as in 1st point, we cant create formula variable with replacement path on another variable, as system date is already a variable of type customer exit.
We can create replacement paths only on characteristics.
Please suggest me .
Thanks,
Sai Chand.S

Hi Stefania,
to me it looks like your local variable num_mese is not defined with the correct data type.
Try to change
if num_mese = 09 to if num_mese = '09',
same for 10 -> '10', 11 -> '11'.
If that does not help please let me know your coding where you define the type of num_mese (DATA statement).

BW 3.5 - Issue with formula variable with replacement path

Dear experts,
I'm facing an issue with formula variable with replacement path.
Just to clarify, I know replacement paths is raising a lot of questions but I've been using this functionnality extensively in the past, both in 7.0 and 3.5, so I'm not looking for basic information about how to use it.
I'm trying to setup a simple report that would show total values per plant of Purchase Order < 100
To do so I've setup a calculated key figure as follow:
VAR1 * ("PO value" < 100 ) * "PO value"
VAR1 is a formula variable with replacement path on 'purchase order' and value attribute 'constant =1'.
(The report has to show values summarized by plant but should not show the detail PO by PO, so I'm not looking at a solution based on condition)
The report as characteristic "plant" in rows and my CKF in columns.
Now let's take an example. I have 3 POs in Plant 1:
PO1 -> 150
PO2 -> 90
PO3 -> 80
Because of the variable with replacement path, the result in my query should be:
plant1 = 170 (even though characteristic "purchase order" is not in my rows, system should evaluate PO one by one and return values only for those two that are below 100).
But the result coming is 320, which is wrong.
I've done the same report on many other 3.5 systems and it worked perfectly, and I am not able to get proper support from SAP OSS who keep saying that this functionnality is not ready in 3.5 (although I've provided screenshot of this working on another 3.5 system!!! how frustrating...)
They have also pointed to problems of Before and After aggregation but that has absolutely no impact. Once again, the scenario is working perfectly on other 3.5 systems with the same query design, so i'm sure it has nothing to do with Query Designer options.
Would anyone have ever come to an equivalenet problem? I'm wondering whether the DB itself could not play a role in the variable with ref characteristic 'constant =1' ...
Any though is welcome!
thanks

Hi,
The text variable is replaced when the exact date is clear for this key figure column according to the restriction.
To achive this, please make sure that either the variable is directly restricted in the key figure selection, or that the date characteristic is in drilldown.

Formula Variable with Replacement Path - drillup ref.char and still working

Hi all,
I have a requirement, where formula variable (with replacement path) shouldn't work when I remove the reference characteristic from the rows. But this is not the case at the moment
I have 'Brand' and 'Material' in the rows and there is 'Material Indicator' in the columns. This 'Material Indicator' is a formula and there is formula variable in it with the type replacement path.
Reference char is 'Material'; Replace with 'Attribute Value' is selected also. As attribute I am selecting one of the attributes of the 'Material'.
In the report output, I am seeing relevant attribute values when Material is in the rows. But when I remove the Material from the report, I still see the values for this Material Indicator column. But I expect to see blank instead..
Can you please share your comments?
Thanks in advance.
S.P.

hi,
Irrespective of the drilldown on Material, the fomula variable will be replaced by material value. This is how replacement variable should behave. You might have to change the design. For more inputs, let me know your requirement exactly.
