Using a hierarchy in infoprovider

I have created a hierarchy in an infoobject. Now i want to use that infoobject in a cube. So is there any specific way to use it in the cube??
I have used flat files to upload master data. So, for the infoobject, do i have to prepare a separate flatfile??

HI Apeksha,
You can use the infoobject in cube ,ods and any other datatargets as your need
You can use the infooject as the other infoobject
Cheers

Using a hierarchy but also showing work orders that are not in hierarchy

good morning bi people,
i have a requirement to show data from a hierarchy which includes Operation and Maintenance information. for example it has an account broken into labour/material/trucking and below this is the pm acivity type and secondary cost element (concatenated). this hierarchy is a manually created hierarchy that is uploaded to BW and is not in ECC. The users do not want to see the concatenated field at the end of the hierarchy, but instead, want to see the Work Orders that have the PM activity types.
At the present time, we have the report using the hierarchy but we need the work orders to replace the pm activity type/secondary cost element concatenated field. the work order field is a free characteristic and when we drag in the work order in analyzer, it works correctly.
1) is this possible to use the hierarchy and somehow map the work order field to the end of the hierarchy within crystal?
2) do you have a suggestion to change the hierarchy, without being a manual nightmare?
all conversations are welcome.
Erik

Good Day Ingo,
i have created a word document with screen shots of the hierarchy from BW, a screen shot of the BEx showing the free characteristic of Maintenance Order and a screen shot of the crystal report with the PM Activity type concatenated to the Cost Element. Once again, we do not wish to see the concatenated field, but rather see the Maintenance orders that have a PM Activity type the same as the concatenated field.
here is the link.

How to use Vendor Hierarchy in Vendor Rebate Agreements

Hi Friends,
I need to use vendor hierarchy in vendor rebates agreements.
Here are some inputs from my end so far I have done:
Customizing Settings for vendor hierarchy and rebate agreement (agreement type 3000 and condition types A003/ A004) have been done.
While creating the PO after creating rebate agreement (MEB1) I am able to see all higher partner functions (2A,2B,2C,2D) at header level in PO under partners.
I have (say ) 3 vendors V1, V2, V3 (V1 being highest) set up in vendor hierarchy (MKH1).
My requirement is; if my company make any rebate agreement with vendor at any node below the highest in the vendor hierarchy then that business volume should be taken in consideration for rebate purpose with the vendor at higher level while making any agreement with him.
I request you to please let me know how to set up this.

Hi lvshaolong,
Thanks a lot for your reply.
I believe I have not misunderstood the business scenario.
But may I request you to tell me the process steps for the senario you told which is "Normally , you define condition with highest node in hierachy and then you can refer to it when you do biz with the lower nodes". How vendor rebate process takes place this scenarion (I mean process flow).
This might help me to find some solution further.
More input from my end:
When I am creating the PO against a vendor included in the vendor hierarchy(after agreement), rabate condiion A003 or A004 is not appearing in pricing and hence during BV comparison,system does not find any data to update.

Using different hierarchy in a query and last value error

Hi guys,
there is a hierarchy for customers in the 0Customer Infoobject which I should use in my query.
I have activated the hierarchy in the query and now some results are not appearing but red crosses "x" are shown.
And the error message: The function Calculate Results as ... could not be applied everywhere.
I know that I am using the result as "last value" for some columns because I need them there (for example: to determine the last value for the credit limit of the current month). I think these columns where I am using the last value calculation are only affected.
I mean my query has a lot of characteristics and key figures and I was told that a hiearchy for customers which is available should be used. But now there are these red crosses.
I don´t see any other solution as not to use this specific hierarchy.
Has anybody a suggestion what could be an argument to use or not to use a hierarchy?
Is it sometimes like in my case that a hierarchy is not possible to use?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
say for example your customer hierarchy is customers grouped under region. You can maintain this region as one of the attribute of customer and you can display this attribute in the report. Indirectly, this will give similar output to that of hierarchy.
But lot depends on how your hierarchy is formed, before commenting whether it can be moved to master data attributes.
Thanks.

Using COGNOS as an infoprovider/data source for WebI...?

I saw a job posting today that listed a requirement that I am pretty sure is IMPOSSIBLE...
WebIntelligence report experience with using COGNOS as an infoprovider/data source for BOBJ is an important skill.
Data sources for client will be both COGNOS and SAP.
Now, it wouldn't be the first time that a client spec asked for the IMPOSSIBLE- but it got me to wondering if maybe I am wrong in my understanding that COGNOS 8 still uses PowerPlay cubes that are 100% proprietary and can only be read with the CONGOS report-design tools.
Is there actually a "supported" way to use COGNOS as an infoprovider/data source for BOBJ...?
Maybe using some COGNOS equivalent of QAAS...?
I have no intention of applying for this job - but would like to know if it is technically possible.

It's been more than a week since I posted this question and nobody came up with a "YES" here or on the BOB Forums...so I am going to close this question as an IMPOSSIBLE request.
Based on the current technology - COGNOS cubes can not be used as an infoprovider/data source for WebIntelligence.

Use of hierarchy with cell definition

Hi all,
I have an issue with a query that is using cell definition in order to have different selection criteria in 2 columns.
In the cell definition, it has being defined a new selection using a hierarchy ( 0costcenter hierarchy) to filter and select the desired values, but the query result is not taking into consideration the filter with the hierarchy.
I have tested the same selection out of the cell definition and the right values are selected...
Is there any constrain in the use of hierarchies to filter values within the "cell definition"?
Many thanks in advance,
Elena

Hi Elena,
I too face the same problem for cell definition with hierarchy.
As per my knowledge cell definitions are purely valid for that cell only (like MS Excel formula in a cell).
So cell definitions are possible with static reports only (with out hierarchy drill downs).
If you got any solution please let me know.
Thanks = Reward Points

Using general hierarchy of sales information system

Hi,
The sales manager uses oftenly the general hierarchy in order to sort the information that could extract from sales information system.
So, firstly he uses the tranasction MCK1 to create a hierarchy and after that he executes the transaction MCSI in order to extract sales information.
So my question is, how can use the hierarchy in a abap program? I want to offer the hierarchy as selection parameter.
     Thank for your cooperation
                 Best Regards

Hi,
Thank you for your answer but my question has not been answered.
The hierarchies i am talking are in table MCSHIERK. When i use program RGSEX000 i can not use the hierarchies of table MCSHIERK.
Can you give me somo more information now?

Why do we use insert characteristic as infoprovider

Hi all,
under which circumstances we use insert characteristic as infoprovider.Does it relate to master data + transactionl data reporting in some way.Please help with an example
Regards,
SS

Hi Sushant ,
We mainly use infoobject as infoprovider for following reasons :
1) When you want to do reporting on master data .
2) When you want your infobject to act as a datatartget . So in this you will need to build transformation and everything .
Hope the above reply was helpful.

Using a hierarchy node variable in a BI 7 web template

Hi all,
I am searching for a way how to use a hierarchy node variable in a BI 7 web template. I have seen that there is a hierarchy web item, but I can only link that to a characteristic. I need to link the navigation item to a hierarchy node variable as I want to use the chosen variable value in a customer exit as well. Therefore the hierarchy web item is not working for me.
Is there any web item that can be used to offer hierarchy node variables as navigation options in a web template?
If you have any idea, every hint is highly appreciated!
Cheers
Tatjana

The Filter panel will only display you the characteristics and key figures available in the query.
If you want to add a combo box to make "on the fly" currency conversion, you'll have to do that by another way.

Activating and using 0CUSTOMER Hierarchy extraction in R3

Dear Expert,
Could anybody explain me about Activating and using 0CUSTOMER Hierarchy extraction in R3 and then extract to BW systems from R3 in step by step?
Points will be assign granted
Regards
Sanjiv

You can load Hierarchies (sets) from R/3 in the same as other Master Data. Just you need to create Hierarchy DataSource using Tcode BW07. Where you have to give the name of the table and field on which you created Hierarchy iin R/3.
Also there are many standard avilable datasources also for hierarchy for which you can load Hierarchy Directly.
Here are the step by step procedures:
Hi,
If you are using standard infoobject and you want to load r3 hierachy you dont have to configure any additional thing in order to load it in BW.
The Steps are:
1)Activate the hierarcie datasource in R3
2)Replicate it in BW
3)Assign the datasource for an Infosource, and make sure you select the hierarchie datasource.
4)Active the Infosource
5)Create Infopackage
6)Select the desire hierachie in the infopackage(if you dont see it, click on Available Hierarchies from OLTP and select it)

Report using GL Hierarchy directly from a cube in crystal reports

Hi,
I am trying to build a crystal report showing GL account hierarchy ( a P n L report). When I am trying to source this field from the BW cube directly its not showing up on the report preview at all.
I built something similar with hierarchy using a Bex query which worked fine. I am curious what it is that could possibly be missing here.
Let me know if you need more information from me to explain the issue.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Varun

Hi,
when you use the BW query you should have the hierarchy in Crystal Reports.
When you connect to the cube directly you should see all the hierarchies from the cube.
