Hi Experts:
I am facing a challenging requirement when create reports in WEBI.
In BW system, we have a hierarchy like below structure (suppose this structure is no timedependent ):
B
|----B1
|-----B11
|-----B111
|-----B12
|-----B121
|----B2
|-----B21
|-----B22
But, in reports, I only want to display 2th level of this hierarchy (B1,B2), and I hope the hierarchy function is not work (only display it).
For example:
Suppose we have below detailed data records in DSO:
| Material | Profit Center | Quantity |
|---|---|---|
| M01 | B11 | 100 |
| M01 | B21 | 50 |
| M01 | B121 | 100 |
| M01 | B22 | 30 |
when reporting, my result should be like this
| Profit Center | Quantity |
|---|---|
| B1 | 200 |
| B2 | 70 |
I have 2 solutions as below:
1. Add a extra field in DSO, this fields will be filled value B1 or B2 when ETL process was executed.
2. Create a transparent table stores the relationship bewteen 2th level and his subordinate nodes, then create a user-exit variable in BEx Query.
These 2 above solution can solve my problem, but,I want to know whether BW can solve this problem in a standard way.
Waiting for your reply.
Best Regards.
