Using Line Item Dimension

Hello Gurus
We have finished all initial loads to BW and now we are facing problems during the segmentation in CRM, using queries from BW.
SAP consultants indicated to use Line Item dimension.
Can we do it now? It is possible now to flag line item after the initial load?
We made the aggregation/compression and our problem still the same.
Thanks a lot!
Cristina Barbosa

Dear Bhanu Gupta,
I´m CRM consultant and I´m not a BW expert, but I need to finish this project.
I read about Line item and my quastion is:
You wrote me we cannot use line item now.
Can we insert severeal characteristics in normal dimension?
It will be helpful? In other words, this can increase the performance as line item?
We can´t delete the data in the cube.
In one of this cube, we have more than 40 millions facts.
Is there something else we can to to improve the performance?
Thanks for your help and patience.

The impact to use line item dimension

Hi,guys,
I have a question here:
When modeling a cube,we can use the line item dimesion to improve the reading performance in some cases.for example when we use SD doc. characteristic as a line item dimesion.
But what I wonder is there any limitation or impact when we use this function? What about if I click this function even for a casual characteristic like bussiness area or something? Is that useful to improve performance or impact vice versa?
Hope someone could help me.
Thanks

Hello Johnson,
The Infocube has extended star shema structure, i.e fact table contains Key figures & Dimentions, so characteristics is link with SID (Surrogate ID) to dimention table for faster access the data. These SID is further link with ur Master Data.
In this case dimension tables are eliminated and characteristics infoobjects SID is directly written in the fact table insted of dimension id so it will improve the performance.
SAP recommends that you use ODS objects, where possible, instead of InfoCubes for line items
If you are looking at better query performance and you have less than 13 chars. in ur datamodel, then you can place them individually in each dimension. make the dimensions as line item Dim .
In this case Line item IC is better than ODS.
but if you are having many data fields and you want to report on lowest granularity of data, then ODS is better option.
For Example :
Line item dimension for Order or Order item contains huge data, same as fact table. two huge table joins creates performance issues.
So SAP suggests, ODS reporting is good for Order level reporting then Line item dimensions.
Advantages of Line item :
Line item dimension is used to improve queryperformance.
Instead of joining fact table to dimension reduce joints
Disadvantages of line item :
A dimension marked as a line item cannot subsequently include additional characteristics.
Hope it clears ur doubt,
Regards,
Santosh

Affect of using Line Item Dimensions

Hi Guys!!
My Cube model involves 4 line item dimensions.
I wanted to know if this will have any affect on the performance during loading/reporting on the cube.
Marking as a line item would cut down on one join during reporting. Please do let me know ur views on this!
Thanks,
Dennis.

Hi,
Line item dimension is one way good for reporting. The impact on loading needs to be considererd keeping in view the volume of records for each load.
Also SAP recommends to use ODS objects, where possible instead of cubes for line items."High Cardinality" is used to adjust indexing for a dimension. Whichmeans there may be some performance impact I believe.
Hope this helps you.....

Unable to see line items in segment clearing account

Friends,
Why we are unable to see the line items in intersegment clearing account/zero balance clearing account, eventhough the master is maintained as open item and line item display.

Line item concept and doc_item ???

Hi everyone,
Can anybody explain what is Line item?
I have created one application form of form class IS_U_BI_BILL
I want to get old meter number, new meter number, opening readning, closing reading, multiplier, kwh
and charges for different line types given to me..
I know that those are around doc_item node. I am writing code in After exit of doc_item.
Can anybody explain me how should i do this.
Thanks in advance..

Hi,
Unfortunately I am not form developer, but I am billing consultant. I will try to explain why do we need line item types (BELZART). Line item types we use to identify lines in the billing document for printing or for other purposes (IDE, Z-programms). All billing document lines and information are stored in the structure ERCHZ. For the better identification of the lines are used "line item types" which you can create in the customizing. There are also some standard line item types as IQUANT - for the technical information, IDEMAND - information about demand, or the lines as 00001 - billing of the energy etc. By programming of the forms you should firstly find your BELZART and after that to find your field for example quantity is in the field I_ABRMENGE, and also you can find there information - device number, meter reading results etc.
I hope this information will help you.

Difference between cumulative balance and line items total in FS10N

hi,
when I am executing FS10n, I observed that the cumulative balance amount is not equal to line items total . This is due to some amounts in previous years are varying from the line ltem totals in those periods of previous years.
This is not happening with QA server only Prdn server is facing this problem. Can anybody provide me a way to solve this..!?
Regards,
AJo
I have checked the master data for the GL and the check box for line item display is selected. It has not been changed for years.
Edited by: Anil Jonnalagadda on Oct 22, 2008 10:57 AM

Hi Anil,
The reason for the differences that you are viewing can be various. As the differences are found in the cummulative balance then it means that the differences might have occurred in previous fiscal years. The first stetp is to find when these differences were originated: You can run report SAPF190 (in se38) for previous fiscal years, and company code in question- This report should show the differences with message "Errors" in the log. If differences are found then you have to creeate a message and send it to SAP for further analysis and corrections.(only SAP experts can do this kind of corrections - component FI-GL-GL-X)
Also bear in mind that if you did archiving in previous fiscal years then this would not be an error:
If you already did archiving and secondary index deletion on this accounts with SAPF048I. So this explains why line items balance and GL summary balance differ ! There is no programm error.
See consulting note 81489 which describes this issue:
The balance of an account results from the balance of the open items. In
connection with an archiving that has been carried out, the line item
display - used with cleared items - must not therefore be interpreted as
a balance display. For the balance display, there are separate
correspond to the display balance of the open items from the line item
display.
Having archived and deleted secondary indexes ( with SAPF048I )
for an account you can not use line item drill down as a balance
display any more for a line item managed account.
( as not all line items are existing any more in table BSIS ! )
The transactions meant to display the binding balances are FS10N,
FK10N and FD10N.
They also give you the line items details, but only of those line
items not yet deleted ( by SAPF048I ).
kind regards,
Oscar Diaz

Line item Settlement and KOB5 for automatically created AUCs to PM orders

Hello Experts,
I am trying to set up line item settlement for automatically created AUCs. We would like to use line item settlement because we want to see the costs split up by either percentage or amount when settled to the AUC. If I can't settle by percentage or amount to the AUC then i'd like to be able to temporarily block some of the costs from settling. This is for billing not capitalization purposes since all costs will eventually settle to one final asset. The settlement is done using transaction KO88 or KO8G and automatic processing type. I’ve configured a PM Order type as an investment order and set up the related investment profile and investment asset class. Some of the things I've determined from my testing:
Using transaction KOB5, costs can be split up by creating other distribution rules, but only to another object (i.e. another
asset, order, cost center etc. by using the Preliminary) not to the automatically created AUC linked to the order
The default settlement rule is account assignment category FXA, percentage rate 100%, settlement type AUC to the AUC
and therefore cannot be updated/altered when using KOB5 or any other transaction.
Once the costs are settled to another object other than the AUC, those costs cannot be settled to the final asset. Creating Preliminary
settlement rules to a receiver IO and changing the period or fiscal year will not “block” costs from settling whether the processing type is automatic, by period, partial capitalization or full settlement.
I’ve been testing this out in our development client and need verification that this is the way that transaction KOB5 works with line item settlement or did I do something incorrect .
Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hi Zaid,
Thank you for your response. Assets are not my area so I’m not sure if I missed a transaction or step in the process. I tested this out by doing the following steps:
Created AUC Asset class with line item checked
Assigned PM Order type as non-investment with no investment profile and created order number
Created a main asset number
Created an AUC sub asset number to step 3
Created settlement rule to sub asset number on order
Posted costs to order
Settled from order to AUC with transaction KO88
Created distribution rules for asset with transaction AIAB
Settled from sub asset to main asset number with transaction AIBU
When I settled from the sub to the main asset number in step 9, I found I lost the line item detail. Is there another configuration setting I need to make to allow me to see the line item detail when I use AIBU?
Thank you,

Copy Quote discount price with 'line item proposal' in VA01

Hi Expert
Does anyone know how we can use 'line item proposal' to copy discount prices from Quotation into Sales Order via VA01?
We want to copy all line items from a previous quote into new sales order, in our test all line item details was copied across except discount prices (condition type ZPM2). Any idea how we can include the discount prices in the copying.
Any suggestion will be appreciated
Thank you

As already, mention in previous post
this would not copy pricing.
It will only copy material & order quantity.
By using copying control VTAA, I intended to say.
You should create a sales order with reference to Quotation. For this you need not make any modification to existing standard configuration for copying control for VTAA ( Target: OR & Source: QT ), which will take care of your requirement.

Max no. of line items reached in FI

Hi Everyone,
My client does billing through a batch job and the program used SDBILL which is assigned to TCode VF04 in Table TSTC.
There are invoices where the line items is fixed at 999.Could somone please tell me how to automatically split invoices whenever the line item exceeds the permissible no. of line items which 999.
Regatrds

Hello,
The lines in accounting documents will depend up on the different items for posting, like revenue, tax, provisions ....etc .
Check for your accounting document and findout how many line items appear in the accounting document for each line item in the invoice. Then you can set a invoice split routine in the copying control (Data VBRK/VBRP), else as Lakshmipathi suggested you can use the userexits to split the billing document if the line item crosses XXX.
SAP suggests using the split invoice method, or the note 36353. But this notes will summarise the accouting document line items with the field specified in OBYC (table TTYPV). This can have an adverse effect, if the FI dept use line item wise clearing OR the data transfers to external systems (BW/reporting systems).

How can we know the size of the dimension(in Line item Dim)?

Hi to all experts,
We use Line item dimension if the size of dimension is 20% or more of the fact table. My doubt is that how can v know that the size of the dimesion is 20% or more of FT?. But we never store MD in dimension tables......So please help me to understand this scenario? Thanks in advance.

Hi
Normally before modelling you will assume the number of entries in your master data and transactional data..
If your dimension is having 3 characteristics
say A,B .....and these characteristic values are say
A---10,000( Total number of master data records)
B----7,000( Total number of master data records)
then your dimenstion would be 10,000 * 7,000 =700000000
in this case you better keep A in a dimension and B in another dimension.
Normally SAP recommends your dimension table shouldnot exceed 100,000...
so whenever you expect a characteristic is having more values then you should make it as line item...
If you want to add a new characteristic to the existing model then you can decide by comparing the ratio of dimension table to the fact table..
Please have a look at the below url for sizes
dimension size
Hope it helps

GL Accounts for Open item and Line item magt

Hi Experts,
Can anyone explain the concept of-
1. Open item management and
2. Line item management in GL creation.
And also explain the business scenerio of selecting these field in GL Master. I mean when and circumstances in which selecting the above two fields.
Best Wishes,
Priyanka

Hi,
Open Item Management
If you set the "Open item management" indicator in the master record for an account, the line items in this account is marked as open or cleared.
The balance of an account with open item management is equal to the balance of the open items. General ledger accounts are kept with open item management if you need to check whether there is an offsetting posting for a given business transaction.
You should use open item management for bank clearing accounts, clearing accounts for goods receipt/invoice receipt, and salary clearing accounts.
Bank accounts, however, do not use open item management.
If you subsequently define open item management for a G/L account, this entry only applies to the items which are posted afterwards. At the date of the change, the account must display a zero balance.
Also, when canceling this indicator, the balance must be zero. You therefore have to clear the remaining open items before making the change in the master record.
Line Item Management
If you set the "Line item display" indicator in the master record for an account, all line items that have been posted to this account are displayed if they have not been archived.
You use line item display to display the document line items from the account. For line item display, the system lists all the line items for an account.
In short, Open item management is to be selected for all types of clearing accounts like GR/IR, Check Recieved, Check Issued A/c, Check Deposits A/c etc.
Where as Line item management is to be selected where the GL account is to be posted for more than one customers/vendors etc.
For example: We have 10 customers. We have received checks from them and posted to the same GL (Checks Received A/c). IN this case Line item Management is must. Then only we can able to see the line items and able to identify our customers.
However this field is not necessay for accounts with many transactions like Sales A/c, Reconciliation Accounts etc.
Hope this helps.

Kannusamy S
