how to enable custom fields hierarchies in Analysis For Office

2025-05-29T22:41:58.904000+02:00

Hi all,

In Group Reporting we have several custom fields created from app "Custom Fields and Logic" ,that are already visible in AO reports. The issue is that I have created their hierarchies from app Manage Global Hierarchies and I would expect them to be displayed in the Analysis For Office report used in SAP S4/HANA Group Reporting 2022 OP, the same way I see the hierarchies for the FS Items but that is not the case.

It seems that it is not possible from app "Custom Analytical Queries" to modify by copy the group reporting standard query in order to activate these custom fields hierarchies.

Could anyone suggest any valid workaround or support in understanding how to handle this and finally get to have the created custom fields' hierarchies displayed?

Thank you.

Can I use a custom entity exposed as a OData Web API as a datasource for creating custom KPIs?

2025-06-13T16:15:20.612000+02:00

Hi,

I tried creating a custom entity and service bindings just to see if I can use it as a datasource when creating custom KPIs. I noticed that the service becomes available in the dropdown. However, the entityset dropdown is empty. I am just wondering if this is the expected behavior or if I am missing anything or if there are certain criteria for the entity set to appear in the dropdown.

Can we copy unreleased CDS view code and use it for developing custom CDS views?

2025-06-24T02:43:06.651000+02:00

In the Fiori View Browser app, I can see a lot of CDS views are marked as Not released for development. I was wondering if we can use eclipse to directly copy the CDS view code and create a custom one. Reason being we need to enhance a CDS view but are not able to using standard apps due to the CDS view marked as not released for development.

What would be implications or drawbacks of this approach?

Analytical Query: Annotations for Filter by Measure

2025-08-01T16:16:09.730000+02:00

Hello All,

I have built a Analytical Query using CDS. I have a requirement to automatically filter out data, which doesn't match specific conditions in few of the Columns(measures).

For eg. assume the condition is to exclude rows wherever Delta is 0

Col1	Col2	Col3	Val1	Val2	Delta
A	B	E	1	2	-1
A	B	D	2	2	0
A	C	D	2	1	1
G	C	E	4	2	2
G	C	F	3	3	0

Depending which Characteristic columns user chooses columns to display, Delta column may result in various values.

Col1	Val1	Val2	Delta
A	5	5	0
G	7	5	2

Col3	Val1	Val2	Delta
D	4	3	1
E	5	4	1
F	3	3	0

Col2	Col3	Val1	Val2	Delta
B	D	2	2	0
B	E	1	2	-1
C	D	2	1	1
C	E	4	2	2
C	F	3	3	0

I can achieve this requirement by using "Filter by Measures" at runtime. Is there a way to achieve this via ABAP CDS annotations?

Thank You

Drilldown and Navigate to in multi dimensional report of custom analytical queries

2025-10-13T05:31:29.425000+02:00

Hello Team,

On S/4 Hana private cloud, I have a requirement to create custom analytical queries as end user and be able to add new navigations on my queries and remove few standard navigations coming via standard semantics of added fields.

Is it possible to do so? Can we change the order of navigations shown in custom analytical queries - standard navigations displayed?
Can we remove the one not needed and can we add new for new custom field (if added)?

Also, is it possible to get link on line item shown in the table view of multi dimesional report?

Best Regards,

SAP RAP & Analytical List Page - How to group and sort by grouped summed values?

2025-10-25T14:20:10.137000+02:00

Hey developers!

I've just managed to develop my first Analytical List Page which consumes data from a RAP service.

I'm curious how to group the values of the lineitems and sort them by the summarized value. The default sorting does not have any effect when the entries are grouped.

In below view, I've grouped my data based on the "rolename". Each rolename has multiple entries which all contain an integer value.

The grouping already shows the summed values.

Although sorting descending is configured, the summed values per group are not sorted.

Is there any way to achieve this?

Greetings!

Manage KPIs and Report issue with Allow CDS Views Annotations ON/OFF

2025-12-03T18:39:00.002000+01:00

Hello experts!

I am having an issue about the APP Manage KPIs and Reports:

In the creation of a KPI, in the section 'Data Source Details' there is a check called 'Allow CDS Views Annotations', I set it OFF, but when I run it, in the Adapt Filters option the fields are not correct, there are appearing multiple times, here is my custom CDS, then some screenshots

@AbapCatalog.sqlViewName: 'ZVIEWNOTASSG'
@analytics.query: true
@ObjectModel.modelingPattern: #ANALYTICAL_QUERY
@ObjectModel.supportedCapabilities: [ #ANALYTICAL_QUERY ]
@AccessControl.authorizationCheck: #NOT_REQUIRED
@EndUserText.label: 'Products not assigned'
@analytics.settings.runtimeExtensibility.allowed: true
@vdm.viewType: #CONSUMPTION
@odata.publish: true

define view ZC_ProdNotAssignAB_Query
with parameters
@EndUserText.label: 'Number of Days Back'
@Consumption.hidden :false
P_NumOfDays : int4
as select from ZI_ProdNotAssignABCube(P_NumOfDays:$parameters.P_NumOfDays)
{
AllocatingEntity,
Plant,
product,

$parameters.P_NumOfDays as NumberOfDaysBack,
@AnalyticsDetails.query.axis:#ROWS
@Consumption.filter :{ selectionType: #SINGLE, multipleSelections: true, mandatory: false }

NumberAssignmentMissing

}

As you can see, when I select one Entity at the bottom does not appear the correct value.

But if I delete those annotations from my view, everything works fine:

$parameters.P_NumOfDays as NumberOfDaysBack,
@AnalyticsDetails.query.axis:#ROWS
@Consumption.filter :{ selectionType: #SINGLE, multipleSelections: true, mandatory: false }

NumberAssignmentMissing

}

As you can see in the above images, without the annotations the filters are working correct, not duplicating the values (first image) and then in the bottom of the second image is appearing the description and value

Does anyone have an idea what is happening? Maybe I am not using correctly that check 'Allow CDS Views Annotations'. Or any hint that you can share?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Automatic population of Sales Order ID in Embedded Content field on the Sales Order Item Object Page

Hello @everyone ,

I have embedded a custom business object data creation screen into the Sales Order Item Object Page in S/4HANA Cloud 2508. I am struggling to get the Sales Order ID to auto-fill into the CBO field via parameter mapping in URL. Users currently have to enter the ID manually, which we want to avoid. Could someone provide the correct mapping steps for this specific release?

SAP Analytical Reports G\L Accounts Goods Receipt/Manufacturing Order Seperate Rows

2026-01-13T08:38:19.135000+01:00

Hi Good Day SAP Community I have a Problem

I am building an Analytical Report in S/4HANA based on a CDS data source.

My report shows costs by G/L / cost structure, which is working correctly.
However, I also need to display Production in Kilos and Total Quantity as separate rows,

Important:

These production quantities are not related to G/L Accounts and should not be aligned or broken down by them. They should appear as standalone totals (e.g. at the bottom of the report), as shown in the attached image.

This describes the exact problem I am trying to solve. Please see the attached image for reference.

This is the data from the extracted report.

in S4HCloud - Query Browser app missing

2026-01-21T09:30:43.667000+01:00

in S4HCloud 2508 I don't find the Query Browser (not in any space, not in the app finder).

I included many roles already, as shown below, but still I don't have the App "Query Browser" in our development tenant. (Though I see the app now in the customizing tenant, where also the roles are assigned. All other roles are automatically valid for both tenants/clients - but not in the case of "QueryBrowser")

I added already many roles as described in a former post from 2018/2024, but it does not change anything.

*BR_ANALYTICS_SPECIALIST
*BR_EMPLOYEE
*BR_ADMINISTRATOR
*BR_DEVELOPER

Meanwhile I added the by @dawid90 mentioned roles resp. the catalogs from the blog he mentioned, but it only helped to have the app in the customizing tenant, not in the development tenant.
I don't know if this split is unusual, I guess not.

Other colleagues with only role *BR_DEVELOPER do have access/find it.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Combined Chart Column & Line with different dimentions on s4 hana analytical report

2026-02-11T15:02:25.988000+01:00

Hi all, Im a developer, not a bi/bw expert

i've created a Cube and a Query on S4hana, after that i've created an analytical report with some graphics and it is working well. ( Using app manage KPI and Reports )

My requirement is to have a combined chart, Collum and Line, but the line is just to have the total, so different dimentions :

So Columns are PLANT/DATE. Line shoud be only DATE ( to display the total )

Currently when im creating the combined it displays Column and Line, but with same values

What i need is only 1 line with total. Is it possible to create such graphic on Analytical list page?

current graphic configuration

Embedded Analytics - Custom Cube for Margin Analysis - Calculated Key Figure shows no data

2026-02-13T15:42:58.059000+01:00

Hello Experts,

let me give you some additional information before explaining the issue.

Back in R/3 we used KE35 (Form) and KER1 (Key Figure Scheme) to prepare for KE30 (Profitability Report) in SAP CO-PA modul.

So far i have done significant tests only with transient view entity … analytical query and was able to replace our custom reports from R/3 costing based COPA to S/4 Margin Analysis queries and the results are very good.

However, i noticed that using a custom consumption view offers very little reuseability. A new requirement triggers a new consumption view and copy/paste of the CDS view. So i want to achieve REUSEABILITY for restricted measures and calculated measures. Looking at the SAP VDM i think it is time to build custom cubes, which i successfully circumvented so far.

So how can i replace R/3 „Forms“, „Key Figures Schemes“ and „Reports“ with Embedded Analytics? I am trying to do a crossover to the VDM which uses cubes, querys, restricted measures, and calculated measures. (Screenshot shows R/3 setup of CO-PA reporting)

I am not trying to replicate the old world 1 by 1, but take over what is still useful e.g. „Prepare a Form“ and „Prepare Key Figures“ and reuse this in multiple querys.

I created the above „custom VDM“ and while the values of the restricted measures are shown correct (see below, RSRT) in the consumption view, the calcuated measures are always inital. What am i doing wrong?

Formulas are very simple:

Revenue - COGS = ContributionMargin1 and FIDirect - OverhAlloc = FIMinusOverhead

My guess is that the calculated measures may have lost their dimensions? Could that be the reason?

Or do i not understand how aggregation works?

Greatful for any tipps. I can share the CDS Views if needed.

Thank you

Regards

David
