Variant Config: Hidding Char with blank values

Hi Experts,
We have a requirement that we need to hide characteristics in sales order that has no value assigned during material configuration. Means if we have 10 characteristics for a material and only 5 are filled for specific configuration then in the display and change mode of sales order, it should show only 5 and not 10.
We tried using config profile, interface design then scope to restrict char with value only. It works fine for already created SO but for new SO it stopped showing any char.
any advise would be much appreciated, Thanks.

Just a thought.
let's assume the characteristic you want is called CHAR.
Then create a dummy characteristic called DUMMY. Create values 'ASSIGNED' and 'BLANK' for DUMMY.
Create a dependency for the values of DUMMY
for 'ASSIGNED':
CHAR SPECIFIED
for 'BLANK':
NOT SPECIFIED CHAR
Then go back in each value of characteristic CHAR and create another dependency as follows:
DUMMY eq 'ASSIGNED'
that way the system should only display those values of CHAR for which DUMMY has a value...
It's a bit of a circular thought I know... Not implemented anything like it myself but it just might work

SharePoint PPS Hide null or blank value in performancePoint chart drill down.

Hi,
I am using SharePoint Performance Point Service. Hide null or blank value in Performance Point chart drill down.
Thanks & Regards
Poomani Sankaran

Hi Hyaron,
I am unable to reproduce the issue in my test environment. How did you add the drilldown feature? Were you doing that by setting visibility of the column or of the group? Please ensure to add the drilldown functionality by set the visibility of the workgroup
from the Grouping Pane in the Report Designer.
How did you add the Interactive Sorting on the headers of the two columns? Based on the drilldown functionality, the Interactive Sorting on the second column doesn’t work. So, you can move the Interactive Sorting on the second column. When configuring the
Interactive sorting on the first column, you should set the parent group to sort, and sort by the field that the parent group groups by.
Hope this helps.

Variant Config - Changing char value on Prod Order component

Experts,
We have a situation where we need to manually add Material Variants as components on a given Production Order's component list. This is in cases where stock for the material variant is available & can be used.
We use ECC 6.0 with certain features of DIMP (SDUD) turned on for Mill Products (along with Variant Config). After adding the Material Variant on the Production Order, we want to edit/change/add characteristic values to the Class 300 characteristics. I've tested this & while it is possible for a configurable material, system does not allow to change char values on the material variant.
Does anyone know of a way to enhance the system in order to achieve this?
Thanks

Problem with BLANK Value in SSRS Subscription

I have a report that I designed in Vis Studio 2005 and have deployed to SSRS 2005. I have no issues what so ever when running it interactively out of Report Manager. However when running it scheduled via a subscription, I am running into trouble.
This report has a parameter called "Label". It is set up as a String parameter, Allow Blanks, and Multi-Value. (It does not allow me to select Null values...tells me "The properties for the currently selected item are not valid.") I am getting Available and Default values from a query I have created in a separate dataset. This query pulls in all possible values for Label, including a BLANK value (there are values that are and should be Blank).
In my subscription, I want to select all Labels but label 98, including the BLANK. So when I go in to create or edit a subscription, I simply uncheck the 98 label. I can see a blank checked as well. However when the subscription runs, the subscription status tells me " Failure sending mail: Default value or value provided for the report parameter 'Label' is not a valid value." This ONLY occurs when I have the BLANK label selected in my dropdown list!
However, when I run this interactively out of Report Manager, doing the exact same thing (selecting all labels other than label 98, INCLUDING the Blank), it works properly.
What could be going on here? Kinda new at this and totally stumped.
Tony

Hi Tony,
I met a similar issue before. If I understand correctly, there has Null values in the list not Blank values.
Using Null values in a parameter in subscription is not allowed.
To solve the issue, please change the Null values to Blank values by modifying the query statement of report:
SELECT ... IsNull(column, "") FROM...
By the way, please update the SQL Server Reporting Services to latest version too.

Issue with Blank Value selection in Dropdown List

Hello Experts,
                    I am facing one strange issue in Adobe Forms Drop Down(DD) list. Foll. is the list data which contains a several item data & blank value. After item data selection user must be able to select blank value in case he doesn't want to set the value to Order Unit as shown in screen shot below.
                              Now my issue is after any of the item values selection (for ex. BAG - BAG) user is not able to set the blank value again at my client system. However its working fine in mine. When checked client is using Adobe Reader 8.0 which is same as mine.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Amit

Hi Steve,
               Thanks for the reply. We have a blank value in the DD as a list item, where key & description is empty space. As i posted above user must be able to select that blank item if doesn't want any value for Order Unit. This selection is working fine in my sytem, but my client facing the issue where he can not select the blank value from DD.
Thanks,

Idoc field with Blank value

Hi,
I am sending data from one SAP system to other SAP system. I am using standard IDoc FIDCCP02 and sending this Idoc with the help of function module MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE.
In this IDoc I want to send field 't_e1fiseg-prctr' with no value, can you please let me know how I can do this ?
When I am trying to pass space then this field is not appearing in target system.
Many Thanks.

Hi,
If there is no value in the field/segment, then the field/segment won't appear in the isoc, hence to make it appear you should pass the value '/' in the field.
Note: when we do this we are indicating the system, it tells the SAP system that there is no data in the field, the same thing we do when we manually process IDOC by WE19 Transaction.
Please validate the same at your end, please come back, if any more inputs from my end are required.
BR/Thanks

Need to hide rows in the Query results with blank values

Hi All,
We have a requirement like this for Stock Report, we need to display both movements and balance in that report. We display the movement data directly from the Standard cube with input as Fiscal period/year. When we do like this, we are not able to get the opening balance as fiscal period was in char restrictions pane.
We have created a dummy keyfigure restricted to Fiscal period ( so that the global filter is not applied and get the inventory data irrespective of fiscal period input ). We have created 3 variables of processing type customer exit and acheived calculating opening balance, current movement and closing balance.
If FP input is 009.2010 to 010.2010, it will get whatever Qty moved before 009.2010 ( 001.1990 - 009.2010 in exit ) as opening balance and closing balance ( 001.1990 - 010.2010 ) and the Qty KF restricted with another exit varibale ( 009.2010 to 010.2010 ).
Hope everyone understood the scenario and issue here is, though I give the input 009.2010 - 010.2010 , I get the rows displayed for different periods ( this is because I am retreiving data for all the fiscal periods but restricting it based on input ). How to restrict/hide these rows.
Your inputs and suggestions are valued.
Thanks,
Chandra.

Hi,
Try creating a query level field which would populate as "X" (with the IF condition ) if the record falls in the period which you have given for input variable (009.2010 - 010.2010). Then place a query level filter for this field where only records with value "1" for this field is displayed.
Hope this helps.
Happy to help further.

Updating OM infotype with blank values

Hi All
We have a custom field included in one of the standard infotypes using a CI include.
When I try to update blank the values in the infotype using transaction PP01, I get the error 'A record without data cannot be saved'.
the custom field is a char field of length one which can hold either 'X' or blank. Now when I dont update any of the standard fields and set the custom field to blank I get this error.
Is there any way to over come this error? Any advice?
Thanks

Sounds like the field definition is not correct. Please can you post here a screenshot of the Domain for this field i.e. the value range tab.

Blank value in "Assignment" field in FBL3N transaction output

Hi experts,
When i exeucted FBL3N transaction, the assigment field gets displayed as blank in the output screen.
I have given input for GL Account, Company code and Posting date in FBL3N transaction input screen and executed. Iin the output, the "Assignment" field (field ZUONR) gets displayed with empty value.
recently the system is upgraded from 4.6C to ECC 6.0. When we checked in our 4.6C system, this FBL3N transaction displays value for Assignment field. But when we checked in ECC 6.0, this "Assignment" field gets displayed with blank value.
Could anyone suggest the reason why the Assigment gets displayed with blank value..
Is any OSS note to implemented for solving this issue?. If so, pls share the Note details..
regards,
Shanthi

Hi,
Yes, there is a SAP note. Check SAP note # 322910.
You should have posted it in FI forums.

How to replace blank values in DATE field with 00000000

Hi
I have a DSO with Date field in which there are blank values. I want to replace the blank values in the DSO for date field with 00000000. Because of this blank values in the DSO the report is giving an ORA error.
How do we replace the blank values in the DSO for historical data and also the new loads?
Please advise.
Thank you.
Regards,
Pavan.

Hi Suman,
I'm trying to run a query built on a DSO. The DSO has a field 'Start Date'. This Start Date InfoObject has a reference Char as 0DATE.
This Start Field has blank values due to which I'm getting the ORA-01722 error. I came across many threads with same topic of discussion. As mentioned in one of the Threads I have written a program to update 'Start Date' with 00000000. The code wriiten is "UPDATE /BIC/AZ_MONINV00 SET /BIC/ZSTR_DTE = '00000000' where /BIC/ZSTR_DTE = ' '.
Now when I see the data in the active data table of DSO the blank value is replaced with '00000000'.
But If I right click on the DSO click on display data the 'Start Date' field is blank. And now the Query also gets executed without any error. But in the output of the query the 'Start Date' Field has "#" values.
Can anyone suggest on how to remove these "#" values in the report?

Variant Config with Plng w/o Final Assembly case

Friends,
I have requirements to map Variant Config scenario for products that are Forecasted for the purposes of driving the dependent materials production/procurement.
The Finished configured part is forecasted for standard configuration, however, it is only assembled at the receipt of a Sales Order. The sub-assemblies/components are manufactured/procured in advance driven by the dependent demand frm parents PIR's. I can use Strgy 50 & make the matl configurable, but the system asks me to create Config Plng Profile to be able to create PIR's for it.
Want to know if there is a simpler way/strategy group with which I can manage the same? The configuration process itself is pretty straight forward, its the forecasting part that is creating the prblm to me.
Any ideas.

Guys,
I found the way out for this. It all depends on how can the business:
1. Forecast accurately on the diff configurations possible (Plng Profile & Table)
2. Can they produce good consumption history on the lower lvl assemblies/components
The following can be done based on the buss reqts:
Finished prod's planned with Strgy 25, assemblies with 70 or Use Strgy 56, 89 for char based plng. The latter are v complicated unless the data is available on usage probabilities of config paramters..
thanks

Flex char 100% with negative values.

Hello.
I have in my app a chart (cartessianchart) with a columnset
of 100% columseries.
All is fine until negative values appear in the series. For
those negative values, the representation dissapears.
I have ported my app to use "stacked" series instead of 100%
ones and i make the 100% conversion programatically.. but this
seems to me like reinventing the wheel..
Perhaps it is not possible to use 100% bars with negative
values...
Could you take a look to the code i submit and send me your
ideas?
Thanks

Hi Aman,
DB not restarted during this time.. we don't have production access. we will get awr report automatically from customer daily. also i am getting issue in our local environment v$rowcache view gets values is negative for dc_users and dc_tablespaces parameter may be it's related production issue...
