Can a Bex Query be intercepted ... an exit?

Question: Hi all

Not sure if I am being naive..

I wish there is a possibility to intercept the backend program (BAPI?) and supply data to one of the key figures that I intend to have in my query (KF not available in the cube).

I understand the requirement can be met using VKFs but I hope not to alter the cube, as this is a one-off requirement. I intend to have something like a 'calculated KF' in Bex and supply data through an exit (or any other means) if possible, using the base key figures.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

the best way is to use the vkf option - you will have to add a new infoobject to your cube - but since you map it as an initial value, no data should have to be reloaded (providing you add it to a new dimension) - this way it will result in very little disruption to your cube.

If a VKF is added, it is permanently visible in the designer. My requirement is a computation in a report that I could not acheive using formulae. Was looking at the poossibility of doing some coding somewhere.

This can be done on the web using the web table interface exit provided by SAP.
