Use of 'Free Chars' of a Query in the APD

Hello
I have a task of building an APD on a query. My question is: Do I need to have all the chars in the 'ROWS' section and all the KFs available in the 'COLUMNS' section (none hidden) before I start building the APD on top of it. Or can I still use the 'Free Chars' option later.
Regards.

Hi ,
Free characteristics will not be available to use in APD. You have to have all the characterstics and key figures in the ROWS or COLUMNS section of the query.

  • Issue in Result row display for free char drilled for query with structures

    Hello All,
    I have a structure in the Row with various calculated subtotals for e.g:
    Total Interco sales(selection on some G/L accounts)
    Total ext sales(selection on cost center+group accounts)
    Total Revenue (formula in structure) = Total interco sales + Total ext sales
    In the column I have the key figure called balance.The net effect of this is in the report out we have :
    subtotal**********balance
    Total interco sales*100
    Total ext sales*****200
    Total revenue*******300
    This  is fine in the initial layout ,but when there is further drill down say on the G/l account then the account numbers are repeated for total revenue as well .For e.g
    *********************G/L account Balance
    Total interco sales 11100********50
    *********************12000********50
    *********************result --->*****100
    Total interco sales**11100********50
    ***********************12000********50
    ***********************Unassi******100
    ***********result---->**************200
    Total revenue******11100********100
    ***********************12000********100
    ************************#*************100
    *Overall result -->***************** 300
    However the users dont want to see the g/l account break up for the total revenue in this case.i.e if g/l account is drilled down then only the break up should be seen for total interco sales & ext sales and not for revenue.i tried using supress individual result in case of total revenue but it was not helpful.Also building something like hierarchy with text nodes isnt feasible since there are a lot of subtotals with different char restrictions.Any ideas on  how to achieve this?

    There isnt a way to achieve this,but as a workaround we built selection in the structure.

  • Positioning of Free Char

    Hi,
    When I try to drill down in my report using any Free Char, it is being added at the end of all the CHAR columns i.e.
    If I have 3 CHAR(Customer, Sales Order Number, Date) and 2 KFs in my report, when I try to drill down using the Sales Order Type, the column will be added to the report as the 4th column i.e after the Date.
    But, is it possible to add the column at the position which we want for ex: between the Sales Order Number and the Date?
    Best Regards,
    James.

    Hi James,
         Once you run the query and drilldown on the free characteristic you can swap the free charteristic with Date to bring it between Sales Order number and date.
    Right click on the Date column-> Select the option Swap date with your free characteristic.

  • Adding Free Char into report on Workbook

    Hi Friends
    How could we add a characteristic from free char list into query result on a workbook and how can we get filter button with free char list.

    As an opinion, unless they have specifically blocked it, I cannot see why not.  If it is a worthwhile program is a different matter, remember, here's no such thing as a free lunch.

  • Using a function module in ABAP Query

    Hi All,
    I want to use a function module in ABAp query in the Record Processing Section.
    In the report program we click on Pattern button to inser the function module so that all the Importing and exporting parameter automatically appears.
    Similarly is there any particular method of inserting a function module in ABAp Query.
    Regards
    Manipal Parkala

    When you are doing the infoset for the query (SQ02) you can add coding by clicking the coding tab. You can chose in wich event you want your coding and there is Pattern Button for  you to easy use.
    If you don't want to put the code in the infoset just in the query then is not posible.
    Nevertheless, I higly descourage the use of coding in queryies. If you need to insert some coding make an ALV its easier, clearer and much easier to mantain.
    Hope it helps.

  • Query Result in the APD displaying zeros insted of values

    Hi Experts,
    I am working on APD Concept i am using 2 querys as source and  trying to feed the result of these querys result into a transactional ODS.
    My problem in the query i have used formula variables for calculation in the columns under key figure structure.
    in the bex analyzed it is giving the right results like
    100,000.00
    0.00
    100,000.00
    0.10
    0.10
    when i keep this query in the APD and checked the data by right clicking it is giving the results like :
    0,0000000000000000E+00
    1,0000000000000000E+12     
    1,0000000000000000E+00     
    1,0000000000000000E+12     
    9,9999900000000000E+05     
    Pl.Let me know whether we can use the formula variables for calculation in query whcih is going to used in APD.
    this is urgent for me pl. give me some idea if any b'dy faced such situation.
    Thanks in advance
    Sirisha

    Hi Sirisha
    Analyze in which layer the differences occur. At every level of the above layers, you have the option of displaying the data as a test. Check in which layer the data no longer corresponds. Proceed as follows:
    Use Transaction RSCRM_BAPI to display the data on the OLAP BAPI layer.
    If the data is correct -> this is a program error in the analysis process. Continue with step 2.
    If the data is incorrect, continue with step 4.
    2. The query used contains hidden key figures
    Yes -> see Note 792671.
    3. Is the query execution partitioned?
    Yes -> see Note 914782
    No -> create a problem message under the BW-EI-APD component.
    4. Use Transaction RSRT2 to display the data from the OLAP processor layer.
    If the data is still incorrect -> check the normal execution of the query again. If there are still differences, this may be due to a program error in the Business Explorer, and you should create a problem message.
    If the data is correct -> this is probably a problem in the OLAP BAPI layer.
    Let me know if you need any help.
    Thanks

  • How to use multiple hierarchies for a single char in single query

    Hi,
    Is there any way that we can use multiple hierarchies for a single char in single query. I tried and it just allows me to select one hierarchy even if I use hierarchy variable.
    I have a requirement where user wants to see information related to a cost center with different cost center groups in different hierarchies (every year has different cost center group hierarchies).
    Suppose I want to see information related to a cost center from year 2001-2004.in these four year cost center may have been associated to different groups depending upon that year hierarchy. How can I do that?
    Thanks
    Jona

    Nope. Now way to do this.
    There is always just one hierarchy assigned to a characteristic. And even if the hierarchy was time dependent, it only reads it for one key date and not according to transaction data.

  • Can a single char be used both in rows, filters and free chars

    Hi.,
      Can 0customer can be used in rows, filters and free chars at a time ?
    Or the chars which are used in either one of themrows or filters or free chars) cant beused in the other(rows or filters or free chars)?

    NOpe, it can only be used in one place.
    May be what you have seen is it could be a nav. attribute of master data and transactional data with the same name. Or the same object name could have been in two different underlying model of infoset and it would be dragged and dropped with the same name.
    thanks.

  • Auth infoobject both in free char and selection screen

    Hi,
    Is it possible that I define authorization on, say operating unit, in BW and then provide the operating unit in free characteristic and query selection screen?
    Are there any restrictions to the above scenario?

    Hi Narendra,
    Appreciate your best practice suggestion.
    What I would like to understand is this:
    1 - SAP provided the feature that if we choose processing by auth, it looks at values, defined in auth objects, and populates
         them on the selection screen automatically. Indeed a great feature.
    2 - SAP even gave us freedom to use user exit variables to make it dynamically chosen.
    3 - Even hierarchy based auth framework is provided. Again a great feat.
    4 - Even when user don't give anything in selection screen and just execute, the report is run only for authorized values.
    Then why can't it happen that when user drags the auth IO from free char to report, SAP looks up the authorized values and shows then against the corresponding data record just like it does when we provide values at selection screen.
    I know I might be questioning the SAP auth design and pardon me for my audacity but I just want to understand the rationale behind this restriction.
    You also mentioned about the work arounds to my problem..can you share some so that I might be able to implement them and see if users are fine with it?
