When do you go for non cumulative key figures?

hi all,
Can anyone explain the significance of non cumulative key figures. and when do we go for non cumulative key figures.
Can anyone explain me with an example.
thanxs in advance
hari

Hi,
chk these threads:
non cumulative key figures
Cumulative and Non-cumulative Key Figures
also,
There is also an explanation of advantages and disadvantages of using non-cumulative key figures in "How to handle inventory management scenarios in BW" white paper:

Intregarted Planning Design for Non-Cumulative Key Figures

Hi,
I have a requirement where i have to design a planning layout for a Invenotry Scenario (Using Non cumulative Key Figures).
What should be the factors i should consider in my design specifically for non cumulative ke figures and how it is different from design for a regular (cumulative) key figure
Thanks
Rashmi.

Thanks for your response. My requirement is to design a retail inventory planning application in which one of the KPI's planned is stock price which is a non cumulative key figure and i am trying to figure out how than can be planned if non-cumulative key figures are not allowed in planning
Thanks

Trouble with Non Cumulative Key Figures

Hi all of you,
I am working on Non Cumlative Key Figures, (NCKF). I have the data like this
Sales rep S100 visited SHOP S1 on 1st Jan and 10th Aug, and transacted worth 100 and 500
SHOP S2 on 1st Mar and 1st July and transacted worth 200 and 300
SHOP S3 on 3rd Sept. and transacted worth 400
Sales rep S200 visited SHOP S1 on 1st Jan and 1st Aug and transacted worth 100 and 300,
visited SHOP S2 on 1st April and transacted worth 200
I created Non Cumulative Key Figure in the following manners:
In modeling in InfoObjects I double clicked on my key figure BILLAMT and selected the Aggregation tab. I selected Counter (all values) for Exception aggregat. By default Agg. Referen. Char was 0calday. I then activated the info object and went to BEx. Here I took other IOs like Salesrep, Shop NUM and Dt. Of trans in rows and Bill amt in columns and executed the report. I am not getting the output how it should come for NON cumulative key figures.
But when I right click the key figure Bill Amount in BEx in change query mode and select properties. I go to the option Calculate result as and selected the option as Count all values. And in another option Calculate Single Value as I selected the option Count all values. I said OK, saved the query and executed it. Now the output is similar to how it comes for a Non Cumulative Key Figure query but I am unable to understand the output.
Now my doubt is where do we set the properties for Non Cumulative Key Figures? Is it in the Administrator Workbench under Modelling under InfoObjects?
OR
Is it in BEx change query mode by right clicking on the key figure and selecting properties?
Please explain.
Thank you
TR.

As for the setting for Non Cumulative key figures...the default setting is done in the Key Figure properties, where u can define the Exception Aggregation. This property is used as such in the query, but if suppose u are getting the normal aggregation in the query , what you could do is "Create The Key Figure as Global Calculated Key Figure in Bex" and go to properties...click on the Button for aggregation ..select the aggregation and define with respt to 0CALDAY ..here.
Hope this helps.

Using Non cumulative key figure in Real time cube

Hi gurus,
I have used non cumulative key figure in a real time cube and when i tried to enter some data using RSINPUT ,it is giving an error and the data is not getting saved.
Can anyone please tell me how to use the Non cumulative key figure in the Real time cube .
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Ravikanth

Hi Ravi,
Please make sure that when you use a non cumulative key figure iun your real time info cube, then choose a time reference characteristic for that key figure.
Then, this time reference characteristic applies for all the non-cumulative values of the InfoCube and must be the u201Csmallestu201D of the time characteristics present in the InfoCube.
For more detaisl, refer to the [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/39/100c38e15711d4b2d90050da4c74dc/frameset.htm|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/39/100c38e15711d4b2d90050da4c74dc/frameset.htm]

Non-cumulative key figure in Real Estate implementation

Hi all,
    I am implementing Real Estate Module in BW. We are doing analysis on Condition amount ( BKOND).
    The mapped Info Object on BW side is 0COND_AMT, according to standara info sources given by sap ( for e.g in 0RE_3) and it is defined as a Non-cumulative KF with Non cumulkative Change 0COND_CHG.
Can anybody plese explain me the logic behind this. and also source field and table for this 0COND_CHG in R/3 side.

Include non-cumulative key figure in InfoSpoke

Hi Experts,
I am trying to create InfoSpoke for AR Line Item Cube(0FIAR_C03) with all infoObjects.
This includes non-cumulative key figures such as
0DSCT_DAYS1 (Days for first cash discount)
0DSCT_PCT1 (Percentage for first cash discount)
However, InfoSpoke run failed and following messages is displayed.
Error in SQL Statement: SAPSQL_ILLEGAL_AGGREGATE NOP
Does the infoSpoke not support non-cumulative key figures?
It worked fine when I remove all the non-cumulative key figures from the InfoSpoke.
*I certainly set 1 for 0RECORDTP(Record Type) in the selection tab as SAP Help instructed
Thank you for your answers in advance.

Regarding Non-Cumulated Key figures

Dear All,
I wanted to create Multiprovider which includes infocube having Non-cumulative key figures .When I am including that Non-cumulative key figure in the Multiprovider , I am getting an error "Inconsistencies were found when checking MultiProvider ZMULTIPTP"
detail fo this error is
Define the characteristics of the validity table for non-cumulatives
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.

Hello,
See this Validity table for non-cumulatives in a self defined cube

Difference between cumulative and non-cumulative key figures

Hi,
What is the difference between cumulative and non-cumulative key figures and under what conditions they are used. What is snapshort and where it is used.

Hi.............
Basically the key figures are of two types cumulative and non cumulative.
Cumulative are the normal one which you use always and they always bring the new values of the key figures in the delta that is if suppose A has value 10 and after change the new value is 20 then you will use cumulative key figures there, and your delta( new value) will bring 20.
but suppose your key figures field only the change in the prior value that is in this case the delta in the key figure value will bring 10 (20-10- change of 10 )as new value in the key figure A then you will have to model it through the non cumulaitve key figures.
Now
1) Cumulative is for the first case that is if the key figure alwyas brings the new values of the key figure and not the change sin the key fiures value.
2)NCum. value with NCUM value change:
In this case ther is only one field which brings the changes for a particualr key figure and you ahve to define that key figure as non cumulative.
Ex: In case of stock only one filed brings both ingoing value and outgoing value so 10 ,-4,100,-34.....
In this case you will this option and use the key figure here in the space provided.
3) In this case you haev two separate key figures one for the inflow of stocks and one for the outflow of the stocks.
you use one key figure for the inflow and one key figure for the outflow.
The main key figure autiomatically takes care of the logic and gives the correct output upon the summation
net value of stocks( inflow- outflow).
Also do remember in this case the key figure for inflow and out flow are the basic key figures that is cumulative key figures.
A non-cumulative is a non-aggregating key figure on the level of one or more objects that is always displayed in relation to time. Examples of non-cumulatives include headcount, account balance and material inventory. here the aggregation of key figure is based on the another info object
There are two different ways to define non-cumulative key figures:
Non-cumulative key figure with non-cumulative changes:
Before you can define the non-cumulative key figure, an additional cumulative key figure containing the non-cumulative change must exist as an InfoObject.
Non-cumulative key figure with inflows and outflows
There has to be two additional cumulative key figures as InfoObjects for non-cumulative key figures - one for inflows and one for outflows. The cumulative key figures have to have the same technical properties as the non-cumulative key figure, and the aggregation and exception aggregation have to be SUM.
Features of non-cummulative key figures
A non-aggregating key Figure.
Records are not summarized for Reporting
Exception Aggregation is being applied on these key figures on the level of one or more info objects usually with time .
Examples: Head Count, Account balance, Material stock
consider simple senario
Date Net Stock Quantity Sales Revenue
01.02.2005 40 1000
02.02.2005 50 2000
03.02.2005 25 3000
this is the query output if stock quantity has treated as cummulative and non-cummulative key figures
if stock quantity taken as a cummulative key figure
Date NET STOCK QUANTITY SALES REVENUE
01.02.2005 30 1000
02.02.2005 50 2000
03.02.2005 20 3000
RESULT 100 6000
in the above result the key figure has aggregated to the total value that wont give sense to the net stock quantity
if stock quantity taken as non-cummulative key figure
Date Net Stock Quantity (LAST) Sales Revenue
01.02.2005 30 1000
02.02.2005 50 2000
03.02.2005 20 3000
RESULT 20 6000
Hope this helps you..............

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.

Non Cumulative Key Figure help

Hi All,
I am in need of setting up a non-cumulative key figure in a cube. When I load from my ODS everything is ok, however during a delta process, this field at times gets
summarized when in fact it should be static or in an overwite mode. Can someone provide some advice/comments on how I can set up my key figure field in a basic cube to be static yet be able to be used in a calculation for a query? I do not want to apply any functionality such as aggregation, average etc. In R/3 LIS functionality, you basically set up a characteristic Key Figure, how can this be done in BW ?
Best Regards,
Dennis

Dennis,
Check if you ahve declared the KF properly and also check the query which you use ...
Load data and then compare with the query at the lowest level of data in the ODS. Then you will know if the update rules are correct.

Multicube with Cumulative and Non Cumulative Key Figures

Is there any problems if I build a Multicube which consists of InfoProviders which have non-cumulative key figures (Inventory cube) and those which do not
In the query I will be summing the key figure for example Stock Quantity across the InfoProviders? Thanks

Hi,
There is no problem if you do that only thing is when you assign key figures in the multiprovidesr you have to be careful in deciding the infoprovider from which the key figure comes.
Hope this helps

Non Cumulative Key Figures Simple

Please Help me with this.
I have the measurement Amount "0meas_value" non cumulative key figure and

cUMULATIVE KEY FIGURE. aggregation properties Sum and summation. Now my question if I map the field from R3 Datasource (MEASVALUE) to CUMULATIVE key figure 0meas_chg, will it me a mess??? , Since when i try to put "0meas_value" non cumulative key figure in infosource it gives the error that you cannot put the non cumulative keyfigure in infosource. Please tell how can i then map to non cumulative key figure.?? and if I do not map what will be the problem??

This kind of issue is difficult to analyze.
Basic approach would be:
1. make sure your BIA revision is the latest.
2. check Tcd: RSDDBIAMON2 and make sure there is no red light
3. rebuild the BIA Index and try again.

Problem with Non-cumulative key figure.

Hi all,
I am facing the problem with the Non-cumulative Key Figure (Quantity). I have created and loaded data to the non-cumulative InfoCube. This cube is defined by me to test the non-cumulative key figure.
In BEx query the non-cumulative key figure and cumulative key figure (Value change) both display same values, i.e. non-cumulative key figure contains the same values which we have loaded for cumulative value change. Non-cumulative key figure is not calculated based on associated cumulative key figure.
I have done the following while defining the non-cumulative InfoCube:
1. Created a non-cumulative key figure which is associated with a cumulative key figure (value change).
2. Loaded data to non-cumulative InfoCube from flat file.
3. Compressed data in non-cumulative InfoCube after the load.
Note:
1. Validity area is determined by the system based on the minimum and maximum date in data.
2. Validity determining characteristic, 0CALDAY is the default characteristic selected by the system.
Is there any other settings to be done?
Please help me in resolving this issue.
Thanks and regards
Pruthvi R

Being a non-cumulative KF, total stock is automatically takes care of that.
Try putting all the restrictions which you have included for total receipts and total issues, for eg, restrict Total Stock with the movement types used in Receipts as well as Issues.
Check and revert.

Non-Cumulative Key figure with inflow & outflow

I am using some non-cumulative key figure in our inventory cube, however, I could not find the non-cumulative field in E or F table of the cube?
Is there a separate table to hold the reference unit. If so, what is the table name.
Thanks.

Hi,
Go to t-code RSDV and enter the tech.name of your cube that has the non-***. key figure and you will see a validity table. This is only thing I know that will make you look at validity table.
The unit for the Non-*** KF will be the same unit as its inflow and outlow parameters' unit.
Thats my 2 cents on the matter.

Non cumulative key figure is not getting filled based on inflow and outflow

hi,
i have a non cumulative key figure which is having inflow and outflow.
i have these three info objects in dso.
as i know non *** key figure is calculated based on inflow and outflow.
i am getting values for inflow and outflow so non *** should be calculated based on this values.
but the collumn is blank in the dso
in that non *** keyfigure i have added two info objects in inflow and outflow.
is there any other setting i nedd to do?
please sugest me.
its urgent

Hi Venkat,
Have you followed the process right. First Filling the Initial Stocks and then Inflow and Out Flow and then Delta. If you follow the process correctly then you can able to view the Data in the Reporting Level.
For Initial Stocks the Marker Should be set. For Inflow and Outflow the Marker should not be set.
Hope This Helps,
