Hi Experts,

Please anyone let me know how can I add a new characteristic or a key figure into an SAP standard InfoObject in order to add it to the standard InfoCube? The situation is I would like to add region and business unit to the characteristics of the Industrial Hygiene and Safety. After that, I would like to add them to the InfoCube called Accidents: Person Involved [0EIH_C02] that is located in the MultiProvider called Accidents: Complete View [0EIH_MC01]. Is it feasible to do this way?

I just learned the BW/BI, so please help me with this. I would really appreciate your responses.

Thanks,

-Napadol

Hi Napadol,

To add a attribute in a char:

1) Go to info object/char in change mode and add the additional attribute you want and select navigational attribute in attribute tab if you want. (Create these additional attribute first in info object catalouge)

2) Activate the Object/Char

3) open info cube in change mode and pick the characteristic from left panel to info cube dimension.

4) Activate infocube.

5) Go to multi provider add the char in one of the dimension and do identification for this char and activate.

Hi Kams,

Thank you for your response, and I really appreciate that. Maybe my question wasn't clear enough or didn't make enough sense. I meant to ask "Is it feasible to add a new characterist into an SAP standard InfoObject and SAP standard InfoCube? I couldn't find the characteristic that I need to use in the standard InfoObject and InfoCube, so I would like to create one but don't know if it's ok to do that.

Hi,

You can add custom characteristics into SAP standard objects. There should not be any problem doing that.

Hi

Yes it is possible to add new characterisitics to the info object and info cube.

In the case of an info object, you can just open the char and you can either add the additional char as navigational attr or display attr.

In the case of info cube, you can add the additional char into the dim.

Hope it helps.

If the masterdata already have some data then after adding a new char info-object, activation will take long time. This is also applicable if the master data is part of some aggregate.
