when i create like attribute ,it is showing the keyfigure data types.
my question is, when the usage of the keyfigure as attribute be taken ?
thanks in advance...

Hi Raj
Check this
Tab Page: Additional Properties
Functions
Business Explorer
Decimal Places
You can determine how many decimal places the field has by default in the Business Explorer. This layout can be overwritten in queries.
Layout
This field describes with which scaling the field in the Business Explorer is displayed by default. This layout can be overwritten in queries.
For more information, see Hierarchy Intervals
Miscellaneous:
Key Figure with Maximum Accuracy
If you choose this indicator, then the OLAP processor calculates internally with packed numbers that have 31 decimal places. In doing so, a greater accuracy is attained, and the rounding differences are reduced. Normally, the OLAP processor calculates with floating point numbers.
Exclusive attributes:
If you choose exclusively attribute, then the created key figure can only be used as an attribute for another characteristic, but cannot be used as a dedicated key figure in the InfoCube.

Adding new attribute to Master data - Not present in ECC

Hi,
We want to add a new field in the master data object 0plant. the new field is not present in the R/3 side. So we are planning to maintain it manually.
Is it feasible? Can someone explain how to approach the situation?
Since it is not going to come in Process chain or any of the mappings below InfoObject will the process chains work properly?
Regards

Hi
if you cant impliment any logic you cam maintani it mannually.
First add attribute to master data object and activate.
Do master data load if required.
Then right click on materdata addtribute and manage -> content tab -> Content
display complete data and you can maintain attribute values individually for all ercords one by one (will be pain even for 100 records).
another alternative is of doing file upload for this attribute.

Difference between text data and attributes in master data?

Hello,
a charcteristic in BW maintains texts, hierarchies and attributes.
What exactly is the difference between texts and attributes?
Attributes describe master data like a customer. The country where the customer resides, the industry etc. describe and classify the customer. Attributes are not just the structure/metadata of the characteristics. They are also the content. The following table should visualize what i mean:
customer-no. | name
112 | mcpherson inc.
113 | donalds inc.
Texts contain contain the description of a characteristic. Texts define a characteristic. An example is the customers name. It does not describe the customer but defines him/her.
Is my understanding about these two parts of master data right?
What else except the customer's name belongs to the texts?
If I set up a characteristic like the customer in SAP BW, do I have to create an attribute "name". The name belongs to texts, not to attributes?? If I upload master data then, how does it work?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
If your analysis includes country and region then country and region should be included in the Infocube.This is required because only if you include these characteristics then you can restrict your queries for country and region.You may need to select some particular countires/region and show the report.Then you have to restrict your queries to only those countries/region.This is possible only if you have these characteristic in your infocube.
I am just envisaging your model like this.
Characteristic in the Infocube
Customer
Country
Region
Customer Attributes
Customer Number (SID which is self generated)
Customer Address1,2 ,3
Registration No
Date of Registration
Deposit Amount
etc ...
Region Attributes
Region Number (SID)
Total Customers
Sale Office Address
Number of Sales Persons
Customer Attributes
Customer Number (SID)
Total Customers
Head Office Address
Number of Sales Persons
GDP
Total Population
So the conclusion is whichever entity you want to restrict or analyse should be a part of Infocube.It is very difficult to do analysis based on attributes as I mentioned in my earlier post that they are only "Display attributes" (u can just show that's it).
Yes!! there are methods available for analysis based on characteristics in attributes table and you have to do either with virtual characteristic or replacement path or with writing code in customer exits.But a good design and earlier study of all possible report combination and having a good design will avoid good amount of development time and changes.
I have suffered when I had only 0CALDAY in my cube and when I want to take a monthly analysis, I was unable to do it and then I have to redesign my whole cube.
Please anyone, correct me if I am wrong.

Keyfigure is attribute of Master data and need to add at cube level

Hi,
We have requirment that need to make report out of Cube and in the report all the fields are comming out of the cube .But one key figure which is not in the cube and need to be there in the report.It is the attribute of sales org.
Sales org is existing in our cube .
Please currect me if i am wrong.i am planning to add the new key figure in the cube and will populate the data using upgdate rules.
Thing is we have upgraded system into Technical BI7.0 from BW 3.x now.If i am going to add the keyfigure in the cube then i have to move the existing data into dummy cube and enhance the existing cube with new keyfigure and write update rules.Do i go for Transformation or Update rules.
The exsiting cube has Transfer rules and infosource and update rules
Please some one can advise me in this

Hi,
i dont think there is need for including the kf in cube and doing the update rules routine stuff.
you can directly use the KF from the attribute of the master data in the query.
PLease go thru the following link. This is applicable with 7.0 also

Display attribute of master data depending on time

Hi gurus,
I have a requirement where in I need to show the employee ratings in the report. Employee rating is the attribute of 0employee. I have to create a report on the master data 0employee.
As employee is the time dependent object for which we valid to and valid from dates. When I run the report, I am getting the record which belongs to current date. Ex I have three entires in the employee master for employee 1001.
Employee---- valid to----
valid from --profit center
1001--31.12.2011-01.05.2011----P001
1001--20.02.201201.01.2012-P002
1001--01.06.201221.02.2012--P003
1001--31.12.999902.06.2012--P004
So now when i run the report today report will show the following record
1001----01.06.2012-21.02.2012----P003 (Becuase today is 01.03.2012 and falls in this range)
Now employee ratings for the previous year (2011) in the master data
Employee- valid to -valid from -profit center-Rating LY2011
1001--31.12.201101.05.2011P001--
PP+
1001--20.02.201201.01.2012P002--
1001--01.06.201221.02.2012--
P003
1001--31.12.999902.06.2012--
P004.
When i run the report, i get following record but I need u201Crating LY2011u201D to be displayed in report. How is this possible?
1001----01.06.2012-21.02.2012----P003 (AS IS)
TO BE
1001----01.06.2012-21.02.2012----P003....PP+
PS: In simple words I need to dispaly performance rating of last yr in the report.
Rating is characteristic field.
Hope its clear
Thanks
Annie

Hi Annie,
The time dependent data displayed in the report depends on the key date used for reporting. For setting the key date you will have to go to Query Propeties option from Query designer.
Now in this case you can either hardcode the key date or you can use ready to input variable or customer exit variable to calculate the key date.
Based on the key date value the valid records from employee master will be selected.
So if you key date falls between 01.05.2011 to 31.12.2011 first record will be shown otherwise second record will be shown.
1001--31.12.201101.05.2011P001--
PP+
1001--20.02.201201.01.2012P002--

Error while activating the Master Data InfoSource for attributes

Hai
Im trying to load the attributes for master data characteristics .
I created the InfoSource and when im trying to activate it .
Then it gives the following error like below
Diagnosis
An error occurred in the program generation:
Program / Template:   RSTMPL80
Error code / Action: 6
Row:        505
Message:    The data object "P_S_COMM" has no component called
Procedure
If the problem occurred during the data load or transport, activate the transfer rule.
If the problem persists, search in the SAP note system under 'RSAR 245'
So please tell the what is the error and how to resolve this issue.
And pls give the error 'RSAR 245' message from SAP note system.
I will assign the points
bye
rizwan

hi Rizwan,
check if helps Note 602318 - RSAR 245 error analysis with RSTMPL80
Summary
Symptom
The process of generating transfer rules or loading data terminates with error RSAR 245.
The long text for error message RSAR 245 indicates the cause of the generation error.
1. Error code: 6
a) Message: The P_S_COMM data object has no component
This is very likely to be due to an 'obsolete' communication structure.
b) Message: <table name> is already declared.
c) Other messages
2. Error code: 7
Other terms
RSAR245, RSAR 245, activate transfer structure, monitor, request
Solution
1. Error code: 6
a) 'Obsolete' communication structure:
            Due to an optimization algorithm, pressing the 'Generating button' does not have any affect on the communication structure. Therefore, use the following workaround:
Select 'Communication structure' -> 'Change'.
Add any InfoObject (for example, '0MATERIAL') to the communication structure -> 'ENTER'.
Communication structure ---> 'Save'
Selet the InfoObject you inserted and delete it.
Communication structure ---> 'Save'
Communication structure -> 'Generate'.
a) Message: <table name> is already declared. Check whether the local part of your routines contains TABLE statements. TABLE statements always have global validity and should therefore be in the global part of the routine.
b) If the error occurs when data is being loaded, the transfer rule should be generated using RSA1.
In many cases, generating transfer rules using RSA1 results in a detailed error message.
2. Error code:
           Program to be generated is locked by parallel process.
This error can sporadically occur if parallel processes simultaneously try to generate the same program.
Unfortunately, you cannot completely prevent the error from occurring since these types of lock situations can still crop up during data loading in parallel processes. We are currently working on improving system stability relating to lock situations during the load task.
Reloading usually works without any problems.

Master Data is in Revised Version while transporting a request to add an attribute in existing master data infoobject

Hi Experts,
I am facing short dump when trying to send a request to add an attribute in Master Data Infoobject from DEV to QA.
Although the attribute is getting added to main Master data Info object but main master Info object is in Revised Version.
I have been searching the solution in SCN from couple of days and tried every single solution but none of them works for us.

Hi Tom
Thanks for your reply.
I am not sure what do you mean by Manually activated in Dev or QA . If you mean Dev then i did and also maintain the infoobject related tables using transaction SE14 but still same error.
But if you mean in QA then QA is lock for manual activation but i tried though program RSDG_IOBJ_ACTIVATE but again failed. I also maintain the infoobject related tables using transaction SE14 but still same error.

Update rule on master data attribute

Hi
In my cube, I have a master data object 0COMP_CODE, which has attribute 0COMPANY.
Additionally, in the same cube, there's:
Master data object 0CUST_GROUP, which has attribute ZBUSPART
Master data object 0CO_AREA, which also has attribute ZBUSPART
I need to fill a characteristic ZTAXCODE (not a master data object) in the cube, with the following logic:
If 0COMPANY is between 1 and 30, populate ZTAXCODE with value of ZBUSPART from 0CUST_GROUP
If 0COMPANY is between 31-9999999, populate ZTAXCODE with value of ZBUS_PART from 0CO_AREA
I guess this will have to be done in the update rule. Right now I have 0COMP_CODE in the communication structure. How should the code be written to populate ZTAXCODE, with value of ZBUSPART, based on the value of the attribute of 0COMP_CODE - 0COMPANY?
Any help with getting me started here would be appreciated...
Thanks
Marty

In the start routine.
First, for all data package select company code, cust_group and zbuspart from cust_group and store it in the internal table.
Second for all data package select company code, co_area and zbuspart from co_area and store it in the second internal table.
Third for all data package select company and company code from comp_code and store it in the third internal table.
Now in the update rule routine.
read the third table and get the company for the company code and if the value which comes from this company is between 31 and 9999999 then read from second internal table otherwise read from the first internal table and update the result.
hope that is clear.
thanks.

Addition of key figure in master data attributes.

Hi All,
I have a scenario to DPO (Days payable outstanding) amount in FI.
I need to calculate purchases amount From 2LIS_O3_BF Based on the given input dates from customer .The Company code wise ACCOUNT PAYABLE amount to be calculated from OFI_AP_4.
There is no key link between this.
So i want to add one key figure in Company code attributes to calculate and store account payable amount using Routine. Then i will give this attribute as navigational in ODS of 2LIS_03_BF .
Can i have key figure in attributes of masterdata. I need to load this daily to calculate amount.
Is there any other solution, how performance will be effected with this solution.
Thanks,
JO

Hi Joseph;
Yes, you can add a KF as one attribute of master data.
The other solution that I see is you create a DSO as a target of 2LIS_03_BF and then a transformation with company code. Direct link between DS and IO is not advise because one is delta and the other is full (you could have some problems).
But if it's my choice... enhance the 0COMP_CODE_ATTR.

Which master data table to be used to get attribute value

Hi all,
I am writing routine in update rule to get data for one master data attribute of master data 0customer.
But I am cofused in choosing master data table to get data.
There are two master data table in master data tab of 0customer characteristics.
1. View of MstrDtaTbls :- /BI0/MCUSTOMER
2. Master data tab :- /BI0/PCUSTOMER
Suggest me which one to take .
Although I have tried with 2 one and it is working fine.

Hi,
If the attribute is not time-dependent please use /BI0/PCUSTOMER, else use /BIC/QRCOSTCTR.
Just remember P table and Q table.

Filter authorization by Master data attribute?

Hi,
Is it possible to restrict (based on authorizations) the view of a report based on a attribute of master data (0customer or similar)?
In case, a report regarding the sales by sales person, but filtred by sales person by authorization. (each sales person should see only their sales)

Hi
yes its possibel.
SAP BI Analasis Authorization provides more flexible and more secure.

Reg: No enries in SID table of attribute of a Master data info object

Hello SAP Gurus!!!
I Hope everyone is doing good.
I found some issues , when i loaded master data into master data info object in sap bi.
I have an object which is holding master data (master data info object)---ZEMPID(employee id)
I have attributes for this object are : Emp name , Emp Phone number
I loaded master data attributes into ZEMPID. I could see some entries in SID table of ZEMPID char info object .
But i am unable to see the entries in SID table of Emp name , which is a attribute of master data info object.
According to my knowledge whenver we load data into sap bi , automatically sid values will get generated for that characterstic info object.
so here in this case Emp name is also a char info object , so whenever we load the data into master data info object , we have to see the entries in SID table of Emp name also .But i am unable to see the entries in the SID table of Emp name. .
So what might be the problem ?
Awaiting for your valuable answers!!!
Cheers!!

Hi Rajavamshi,
You are right whenever we load data in BI, it will create SIDs for info objects.
But it will create SID in 'S Table' not in X/Y - Table.
If master data is enabled for Emp name then it will create SID in X/Y table. I think the master data is not enabled for attribute(Emp Name).
Please check in S Table, the SIDs will be there.
If it is not the case, activate the attributes info objects and EMPID info object and load the master data and run ACR for EMP ID.
If it is not working still, then do master data check in RSRV.
