Exits (using attributes) in SEM/BPS

Question: Hello,

I have a posting in my transaction cube including characteristic A and B.

Those two characteristics are attributes of characteristic C, which I would like to derive in the cube (using an exit ?).

If somebody could give a sample of code for such a derivation, it would be highly appreciated.

Thanks a lot

Answer:
Instead of using user exit for this. you can use characteristic relationships of type attribute and also use derivation.

I hope this will work.

Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for your answer ram123 but the characteristic relationship doesn't work for what I want.

Following my example, it would be possible to derive A and B (attributes of C, if it is known) with the characteristic relationship BUT it's not the aim because I already have A and B in the cube and I have to fill C.

To achieve this, according to me, the only solution is to use an exit.

Answer:
have a look at this standard function API_SEMBPS_CHA_VALUES_UPDATE as a reference that updates characteristic values.
hope it helps.

Answer:
derive the 'C' form 'a' and 'b' in the char relationship exit.make sure that c is not present in the planning levl.
sample..use it in the place FM: Derivation.in the example below I'm populating revenue class dependent on the value of rate class.make sure to use the "search" button to be sure about the combination of level/packages/sequence where your derivation will be used.
Hope it helps.

Answer:
Thank you for everybody,

Finally (after gathering info in different posts), I could build an exit which work very good :

DATA: lth_data type /1SEM/_YS_DATA_100... occurs 0 with header line.

DATA: item3(16) TYPE c.

LOOP AT xth_data into lth_data.

* function to read the master data in BW : item2/dp/act/subac are
* attributes of item3)
CALL FUNCTION 'Z_BW_EGE_GET_ITEM3'
EXPORTING
item2 = lth_data-S_CHAS-EGE_ITEM2
dp = lth_data-S_CHAS-EGE_DP
act = lth_data-S_CHAS-EGE_ACT
subac = lth_data-S_CHAS-EGE_SUBAC
IMPORTING
item3 = item3.

lth_data-S_CHAS-EGE_ITEM3 = item3.
CLEAR : item3.

APPEND lth_data.

ENDLOOP.

clear xth_data.
refresh xth_data.

xth_data[] = lth_data[].

ENDFUNCTION.
