Validity Table Question - 0CALDAY and 0PLANT

Hi, I have an Inventory InfoCube 0IC_C03 and I noticed that the validity table has both 0CALDAY and 0PLANT checked.
I read the documentation that it's best to have just 0CALDAY.
http://help.sap.com/scenarios_bus2004/helpdata/en/42/266241fe918347e10000000a1550b0/content.htm
The document does mention a 0PLANT scenario, but I'm not quite understanding it.
1. Will it hurt to have 0CALDAY and 0PLANT?
2. What would be the consequences from a reporting perspective if I have 0PLANT in the Validity Table?
Thanks!

*copy paste from some other forum*
Validity table defines the range of the characteristic values for which the non-cumulative KF is valid.
Let us say your cube has 0calday, and it has data from 01/01/1999 to 12/31/2000. If you run a query and check (say its stock cube) stock balance per day per plant, it will calculate balances for each plant and show starting from 01/01/1999 onwards.
However, if you had a plant that became operational on 06/01/2000, you wouldn't want to see a 0 stockbalance for it starting from 01/01/1999 (or say when calculating the average, take as if stock existed from 01/01/1999) but from the date the plant actually existed ie 06/01/2000.
In this case, if your validity table had only 0calday, your report would show 0 stock for each day from 01/01/1999 to 06/01/2000 for this new plant (not a good idea), while if you defined it at plant level, you will see the report starting at 06/01/2000 while it will start from 01/01/1999 for other plants. This is what you want

Validation Tables and Constraints

Ok, here is an interesting question. If you had validation tables such as building codes with their translations, or person type codes, or sorority codes, or anything that has changing codes that are valid and invalid over the years --- that your database application used with data this person lives in this building code and it goes to get the long translation from the validation table ( a whole bunch of them) and you wanted to increase the efficiency of such validation tables so that you could put a STATUS (old do not use now but valid for old data, active use now for new data), how would you go about doing this en masse for the whole database and all of the validation tables?
Would a constraint work, user defined? And how? Or how would you most efficiently go about this?

Ability to deactivate old values in validation tables but leave them for integrity of historical data
VALIDATION - include the ability to inactivate old values in the validation tables so that these values can be in the database for old rows (records) but cannot be used for new rows (records).
The fact to leave the old value in there is for referential integrity for the old data values but show they are inactive and to only allow new data to be added with CURRENT valid values. No matter what you tell the people entering the data, if a value is valid for entry they will enter even if it has not been used for years
How to do this most efficiently with constraints now or will we have to add triggers to every piece of update and insert code?

first two fields are custom fields but the third custom field need to validate the standard table adrc contains the value of the field addrnumber.
i need the query of field validation query which we write in create entry events in table maintenance generator and also if we give wrong value for addrnumber in sm30 maintain table, the input field need not to be grey out for next entry...

Define the Characteristics of the validity table for non-cumulatives

Hi Friends,
Here I am designing MultiProvider ( ZCA_M01), based on the Two Business content info cubes (0IC_C03 & 0SD_C03 ) & one customized info cube (ZPUR_C01).
I done Identification for char & keyfigures also.
When i trying to activating the Multiprovider, here i am getting the error , error message is : Define the Characteristics of the validity table for non-cumulatives.
Even here I am attaching the error message help also.
Message no. R7846
Diagnosis
The InfoCube contains non-cumulative values. A validity table is created for these non-cumulative values, in which the time interval is stored, for which the non-cumulative values are valid.
The validity table automatically contains the "most detailed" of the selected time characteristics (if such a one does not exist, it must be defined by the user, meaning transfered into the InfoCube).
Besides the most detailed time characteristic, additional characteristics for the InfoCube can be included in the validity table:
Examples of such characteristics are:
A "plan/actual" indicator, if differing time references exist for plan and actual values (actual values for the current fiscal year, plan values already for the next fiscal year),
the characteristic "plant", if the non-cumulative values are reported per plant, and it can occur that a plant already exists for plant A for a particular time period, but not yet for plant B.
Procedure
Define all additional characteristics that should be contained in the validity table by selecting the characteristics.
In the example above, the characteristics "plan/actual" and "plant" must be selected.
The system automatically generates the validity table according to the definition made. This table is automatically updated when data is loaded.
Please take as a high priority.
Thanks & Regards,
Vanarasi Venkat.

Hi Venkat,
If you want to include 0IC_C03 cube in your multi provider the you must make sure that the time characterestics ( 0CALDAY, 0CALMONTH ....) are present in all of the other info providers which you are including in the MP. The Time char to choose depends upon the Inventory cube in which you have mentioned during the definition. As you are using the standard cube 0IC_C03 it has the time char as 0CALDAY. Try to include this in all the other info providers and dont include more tha one Non-cumulative in the MP.
Try this and see if it helps....

Validity table

hi experts , what is validity in BW it is created when we use non cumulative key figures but what is the purpose of it
Please search the forum. Also, Please read rules of engagement
Edited by: Pravender on May 21, 2010 10:53 AM

I am not sure I understood your question.
Are you saying 'country' is also a characteristic and you are getting additional data to the cube for these new countries? Or just that more data is now being added to the cube?
If the plants are more or less defined for similar date range, or are defined for the period for which typical reporting would happen -
Say plant 1 is valid from June 1999, Plant 2 from Apr 2001 .... and so on. This would be the situation where you need plant in the validity table.
However, if your users are typically reporting over last two years, and not many plants have been added in this period, and not many are likely to be added later, you can remove plant from validity table. This should generally not impact query performance. Only if users frequently report on the overlapping period (when the plant existed, and not existed) would there be some performance difference. Unless the no of plants is high (say 100 ) the difference in performance either way should be minimal.
This is my limited understanding ( ie to say do not go solely by it ).

Two FACT Tables, Some Common and Non-Common Dimensions

Hello all, a question i am sure you have faced in the past but still wanted to get your feedback.
I have a few FACT tables and some dimensions that are shared (common dimensions). Rest of the dimensions are related to one or the other FACT tables.
What is the best way to present a view where users can pull information from both the FACT tables?
I am successful in pulling the shared (common) dimensions across BOTH FACT tables having the same grain but this view breaks down when i pull information from one Dimension that has not much to do with the other FACT.
What is the best way to present this? Should this be broken in three subject areas?
Subject Area 1 --> Some Dims --> FACT Table A
Subject Area 2 --> Some Dims --> FACT Table B
AND
Subject Area 3 --> ***Only Common Dims*** --> FACT Table A & FACT Table B?
Your feedback is always appreciated.

Table question/problem

This is an html table question, but since I am working with
CF on this, I thought I would post here for help.
I query and cfoutput the data in a table. The table has ten
columns. The first five are alpha numeric and the last five are
numeric. The output displays fine.
What the want to do now is to put a black border around the
number columns, the last five.
I tried to make each column its own table, but that just puts
a box around each value, the columns are not connected.
How can I do this ?
Thanks for helping.

Put a thin black left border in the sixth column and a
similar right border in the tenth (last) column.
It is neater and advisable to use CSS.
<style type="text/css">

</style>
<td class="bdrLft">
The inline formatting will look like:
<td style="border-left-color:##000000;
border-left-width:thin;">
Do the same for the top border (last 5 column headers). The
bottom border may be trickier. The idea is to apply bottom border
at the last query count. One can do without the top and bottom
borders, however.

Validity table for a Non-Cumulative key figure

Hi,
I need to make changes to a validity table for a Non-Cumulative key figure.
I know initially it is done thru Extras- > Maintain Non-Cumulative value but subsequently how to change the parameters ?
Best Regards,
-Anurag Dev

If you decide later that you require more validity-determining characteristics, you can modify the selection using the report RSDG_CUBE_VALT_MODIFY. In this report, the non-cumulative InfoCube is only changed to the extent that the new validity-determining characteristics are selected and the validity table is reconstructed. The structure of the non-cumulative InfoCube remains the same. You do not have to reload the transaction data for it.

Validity table for stock cube

hi,
I am designing a stock cube with non-cumulative values.
Data for amounts of stock movements I plan to get from Transfer Order documents.
Data will be extracted on daily basis and in cube I want to have among others following chars: quant, storage bin, storage type and warehouse nr.
I would like to include in validity table such all of chars mentioned above (i.e. quant, storage bin, storage type, warehouse nr and date).
I am wondering is it ok to include so many chars in this table. Are there any guidelines for designing this table?
Can you suggest any documentation?
Regards,
Andrzej

You can use RSDG_CUBE_VALT_MODIFY report for this.
