Creating basic key figures

You create basic key figures similarly to the characteristics either in the field catalog and transfer them later into the aspect or you create them directly in the aspect maintenance. In both cases, the fields are saved in the field catalog and are available for other aspects.

Each basic key figure is uniquely defined by the field name and contains certain properties according to it's use.

When creating basic key figures you have the following possibilities:

  1. Entry of field names, name and selection of type number / amount / quantity (see section 'currency or unit of measure').
  2. Transfer of a basic key figure from any ABAP dictionary table (texts transported too).

If you select basic key figures for your aspect later, you can use any basic key figures from your field catalog.

The basic key figures appear in the data structure of the aspect after the saving in the data part as a series of fields in the sequence of the entry.

Currency or unit of measure

You have four possibilities when assigning a currency or unit of measure to a basic key figure.

  1. If you select the type 'Amount' or 'Quantity', you can:
    • assign a fixed currency or unit of measure to a basic key figure.
      If you assign a fixed currency/unit of measure, this value is dragged into each data record.
    • make an assignment for the aspect currency or no automatic assignment for the unit of measure.
      In this case, amounts are posted in the aspect currency. With quantities you must enter a unit of measure.
    • create a reference to a table with currency /unit field. In order to
      create such a reference, you can refer to a characteristic whose check table bears a currency / unit field or (if such a characteristic does not exist) directly enter a reference table with reference field. In the last case, however, suitable characteristics must be available for a complete foreign key formation for the reference table.
      With the entry of a characteristic or a reference table the key of the reference table is formed from the characteristic values of the data record and the currency / unit of measure read externally.
  2. If you highlight the 'number', the basic key figure is saved without a unit. In this case, you cannot enter a currency or a unit.

See also Currencies.

Further properties of a basic key figure

You can determine further optional properties:

  • You can maintain the currency translation types that appear in drilldown reporting as default values, if 'Currency translation' is selected for a basic key figure.
    Select a "translation type" and a "target currency" for the respective key figure. If the translation type already contains the target currency or nothing is entered in the target type, the target currency remains empty.
  • With the field "key figure group" you assign the basic key figure to groups. The group provides a better overview when creating reports. The prerequisite for this is that you have already maintained Key figure groups in the step Data basis -> Key figures -> Create key figure groups .
  • With the property "Decimal places" you determine the number of places after the decimal point.
  • The field "Display factor" allows you to display the value in another scaling.
  • The properties for aggregation determine how the values are aggregated with respect to characteristics. See also: "Aggregation" or the online documentation for EC-EIS or EC-BP.

If you have created and saved your basic key figures in the field catalog, you must activate them.

Then you can assign your basic key figures to one or more field groups.

Changing basic key figures

This transaction allows you to search for and edit several or all basic key figures. The selected basic key figures are displayed in a list. You can enter changeable properties directly on this screen or in a detail screen. In addition, you can change the texts on the EIS- generated basic key figures.

Deleting basic key figures

You can delete fields that are not directly used in an aspect using 'Basic key figure -> Delete'. If you delete a field from the field catalog, all affected sub-objects such as generated data elements, domains, check tables, text tables, views, characteristic values and comments are also deleted.

Activities

  1. Create basic key figures.
  2. Save and activate the basic key figures.
  3. Assign your basic key figures to field groups if required.
  4. Assign your basic key figures to an aspect (see also

Edit aspect).

Further notes

You can only change the report-based properties with a saved key figure. A basic key figure can only be deleted from the field catalog if it is not used by any aspect.
