Variable - Default to current period but allow input fomr user??

Hello All,
This may be a simple question.... I am not sure....
I'd like to have a variable for a report where the user can select the fiscal period. Creating this variable is not a problem. The problem is that I would like for the variable to default with the current period.
The best solution is for the variable to be displayed with the current period as the default selection but give the user the ability to overwrite this default value on the variable selection screen. Can this be created as a customer exit variable? We have tried this but can't get the variable to prompt the user and give them the option to overwrite when it is customer exit.
thanks

Hi Rodney,
Yes, I think you can use a customer exit variable for this. However, you need to set the code to I_STEP = 1 when you set the date to sy-datum. What happens is that at I_STEP = 1, the default value pops up in the variable screen. Then, your user can opt to change this value or just use the default value. If your user wants to change the value in the selection screen, it automatically overwrites the default value.
Hope this helps,

How to setup a Default Playlist to Airport but allows BYOD playlist override?

Sorry for the unclear description.
Here is what I am trying to accomplish. I have my laptop or ipod playing a default playlist to my Airport express attached to my Stereo system. The music plays fine with no issues. I come into the house and want to play music from my iphone or ipad, I cannot connect or play to airport express since it is already sync'd or acquired by my laptop.
My goal is to have a default playlist playing all the time. When myself, my kids, or anyone comes in to house they can have priority over my laptop to play their music. Then when they disconnect, stop playing music, or leave the house; the default playlist kicks back on and continues to play out the speakers via the airport. I am trying to do this without human manual interaction.
I can do all of this manually like disconnect laptop, new device syncs to airport, then when they leave manually start playlist. But I am trying to figure out how to do this dynamically without human interaction.
Any ideas or solutions on how to get this to work?
Thanks!

Hello,
I'm either blind or over-worked (probably both) but I can't seem to find how to setup a DMZ on the XTM 330. I need to add an Avaya IP phone system and don't want to try using SIP because the vendor said they need no NAT.
Can someone please either direct me to the correct spot in the documentation or tell me how to do it?
Thanks in advance

Requirements:
If I enter current period and Fiscal year then the report should appear total of period 1 to current period.
Example:

For Cost Elements in Controlling.
The report should be like
|Cost Elements   |   Amount of(P1P2P3+P4)|
I can keep select variable as filter to enter current period, But how can I calculate the total amount from period 1 to current period.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Aparna.

Hi,
To get the required output do like this...
1. Create a Customet Exit Variable on 0FISCPER. (Single, Mandotory, Uncheck Ready for InPut):'ZFY_CURR'
2. Create a Customet Exit Variable on 0FISCPER. (Single, Mandotory, Uncheck Ready for InPut):'ZFY_CUR1'
3.In Free Chars drag and Drop 0FISCPER and the restrict with Variable '0P_FPER'.
4.Create New Selection in Columns and the Drag your Key figure and then Drag 0FISCPER and then restrict with (Select Value Range) []ZFY_CURR; ZFY_CUR1.
5. Execute the report then you can get the desired output.
The below Code is for From Period
WHEN 'ZFY_CURR'.
Data: ZSF(4) type C,
      ZSF1(3) type C,
      ZSFY(7) type C,
      ZSFH(7) type C.
      ZSF1 = '001'.
LOOP AT i_t_var_range INTO loc_var_range WHERE vnam = '0P_FPER'.
    IF sy-subrc = 0.
      CLEAR: l_s_range.
      ZSF = loc_var_range-LOW+0(4).
      ZSFH = loc_var_range-LOW.
      CONCATENATE ZSF ZSF1 INTO ZSFY.
      l_s_range-low = ZSFY.
      l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
      l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
      APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
    ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
The below Code is for To Period
WHEN 'ZFY_CUR1'.
LOOP AT i_t_var_range INTO loc_var_range WHERE vnam = '0P_FPER'.
    IF sy-subrc = 0.
      CLEAR: l_s_range.

Delete RA in current period

Hello, All!
Standart transaction KKA8 delete all data RA for WBS. Created reverce positon for all period in same period at that time.
I want to make a reversal posting data deletion RA cumulatively for the current period.
that the data correspond to the data in the CO in FI.
How i can do it?
thanks for your attention

Hi Victor
So my understanding of your issue is that using KKA8, you wish RA data should be deleted/ reversed not only for current period but all past periods cumalatively and this reversal should be posted in the current period. If so, yes you can do it.
The above stands true only in case, settlement entries are posted in the current year only and this has to be reversed before using KKA8. In your case, since the periods are falling in past year, I am afraid you cannot use KKA8.
Further KKA8 is period and year independent, hence it will stop you from using KKA8 even if there are no settlement entries during the current year.
Hope the above information was helpful.

DI SDK on version 2005 - getting No Current Period error

Trying to connect to the DI SDK, and get an error message of 'No Current Period' when supplying the server, user, password, language and trust. The same code works fine with the 2004 version. Can anyone help?

The error normally appears if there are no periods contaning todays date... Make sure you have a running posting dates (If you don't have the client will also at stratup warn you about this)... Point is that you can not manke a connection to the DI for some reason in no posting period (Even if you just want to do DI-work that have nothing to do with periods)

How can I transfer photos from an IPhone 5 to an IPad 2 using a cable. I have tried using the lightning to firewire adapter with my current lead but this only seems to allow a download from the Ipad to the Iphone and not the other way around.

The devices are not designed for transfer of that kind. Use Photo Stream as suggested by another poster, or transfer photos to your computer (a good idea anyway since they will be lost if your device needs to be reset), then use iTunes to sync them to the other devices.

Financial Reporting - Current Period Variable

Anybody know a quick way to get the Current Period Number (eg June = 6 ) for use in a formula? Thanks.

You'll need to restart FR studio, after you have created the substitution variables. As the studio only performs one read of the sub var database on startup.
It also won't show up unless you assign a member to it.
Hope this helps.

Create a BEx variable which should by default contain current date, etc

Hi,
I need to create 2 variables: ZDATE01 and ZDATE02.
They will be used in the following situation:
0DATETO >= ZDATE01
and
0DATEFROM <= ZDATE02
to only display records on a current "key" date.
ZDATE01 should be a variable that has current date pre-populated in it on the variable entry screen in BEx Web Analyzer, so that users do not have to type in the date themselves.
ZDATE02 should be a replacement path variable to be replaced by whatever is the value of ZDATE01.
How would I accomplish ZDATE01 variable having current date pre-populated in it on the variable entry screen?
I tried creating ZDATE01 variable with having SAP exit variable as replacement path, but it did not let me.
Thanks

Sorry, the previous link was wrong...
Here you go...

WHEN 'XXXX'.
LOOP AT I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO LOC_VAR_RANGE
WHERE VNAM = 'YYYY'.
CLEAR L_S_RANGE.
L_S_RANGE-LOW = sy_datum.
clear L_S_RANGE-HIGH.
L_S_RANGE-SIGN = 'I'.
L_S_RANGE-OPT = 'EQ'.
APPEND L_S_RANGE TO E_T_RANGE.

Browse URL in FM11 won't allow input of any kind. I need to connect either to a CMS, or WebDav, or checkout from Sharepoint, but nothing works.

Any one in FrameMaker 11 having ANY luck of any kind with a check out rev controlled doc management system for a team? So far, CMS won't work with FM11. SharePoint 12 doesn't work with FM11. And the Browse URL won't allow input of any kind no matter what direction I approach at. I have been to preferences, allowing checkout of HTTP files on open, and upload HTTP files on save, but nothing works yet.
I can check out and return from SP13 from the web, but all links are lost, and only embedded information carries over.
Any suggestions and input would be valued.
I didn't want to go Ditta simply because the company has SharePoint and it was supposed to be compatible. It isn't, so I need a back door.
I would rather not run two systems for Doc Control if I don't have to. There is much to do, and dividing resources is a waste that I would prefer to avoid.
Thanks

If you mean DITA and structured documentation, take a look at DITA Exchange – sad disclaimer, I'm no wise affiliated and I haven't yet managed to persuade the powers that be to try this level of integration.

Variable Report Filter (Current Year)

Dear Gurus,
I need a report which always will work with current year measure. (Without asking to user in selection screen) The system should automatically assign the current year. I created an object in universe. In definition tab, in the select statement I wrote to_char(sysdate,'yyyy') . But, in report and while the system gives an error message like "Parse failed. Exception: DBD, The supplied XML is not valid. to_char(sysdate, 'yyyy')State: N/A". I think the formula is wrong but I wrote it by referencing OSS note 1381486. Are there any suggestion? Thank you.

Hi,
This should have been posted in the designer section, but...
I think I know why you are having problems getting a right answer, the parse failed message says:
The supplied XML is not valid.
Which leads me to believe you are using an OLAP universe (on top of BW may be?), all the solutions given here are for SQL access.
Unfortunately, there is no string handling possible in an OLAP universe on top of BW, you would have to resort to solving this in the underlying BEx query for this universe.
You can think along the lines of using a BEx variable that is input ready, takes multiple values, is mandatory and has a default value filled with by a user exit (which makes it default to current year).
You can show the prompt message of the BEx variable for when the user wants to select different year(s).
Not showing the prompt and leaving it empty will trigger the default.
Good luck,
Marianne

How to lock the data for few periods in the Input Layout

Dear All,
I have an input enabled layout wherein I will display the data based on a period range.( For ex, 01.2007 to 12.2007).
Now, based on the current period I should disable the input readiness for the periods less than my current period.
In my ex, if my current period is 06.2007, the input readiness should be disabled for the periods 01.2007 to 05.2007 .
How can I achive this?
Regards,
Srini.

Hi Srinivas.
You can use user variable exit for the disabled one (the period one); based on the current period..
You can read regarding it in here:

Current period time vs previous period time

Hi All,
I have to create a report which compare the sales period time..
for example variable 0calmonth period 0108 - 0208
product | current period 0108 / 0208 | previous period 0107 / 0207   | current - previous
TV        |      1000                              |            500                            |   500
Audio    |      100                               |             300                            | -200
its work great
but when I add 0calmonth in column query
product | current period 0108 - 0208 | previous period 0107 - 0207   | current - previous
0107
0207
0108
0208
0107
0207
0108
0208
0107
0207
0108
0208
TV           |     0   |     0 | 800   | 200     | 300    |   200 |    0      |    0    |   -300 |   -200 | 800    | 200   |
Audio    |     0   |     0 | 70   |     30     | 150    |   150 |    0      |    0    |   -150 |   -150 | 70      |    30   |
This is not what i want.
I want this.
product | current period 0108 - 0208 | previous period 0107 - 0207   | current - previous
0108
0208
0107
0207
0108-0107
0208-0207
TV        |   800                     | 200     | 300                           |   200   |   500           | 0              |
Audio    |    70                     |     30     | 150                          |   150    |   -80           |   -120         |
How do that?

Hi,
I think there is a way to do this, take normally first 4 fields, product | current period 0108 - 0208 | previous period 0107 - 0207 | current - previous
Then remove 0CALMONTH from columns and after that create a RKF by new selection, using sales Keyfig. with 0CALMONTH resticted to the value 0108, and next take a new selection and restrict the same with 0208.
Similarly restrict for remaining months also (0107 0207 0108-0107 0208-0207 ) so that it can be arranged in the order u want.
Hope this helps.
Rgs,
