Query on graphics display in SCM 5.1

[Former Member]

Dear All,

I am using SCM 5.1 and facing some issues while displaying the graphics

1. In interactive planning, when I select the Graphics options, system displays the name of the planning book as graph title. What are the settings, so that it actually displays the selection characteristics on the graph.

2. I also want to display the selection characteristics, on the screen when I execute a statistical forecast.

3. When I select a subset of key figures, from the planning table, the graphic display does not get updated. It still shows all the key figures.

The graphics function has changed significantly in SCM 5.1. Does anybody have a document listing the enhancements in SCm 5.1 for graphics?

regards,

Kedar

Hello there Kedar,

First of all you're very right, there are lots of changes from SCM 5.0 to 5.1 in graphics, but unfortunately I did not find anywhere a guide with changes introduced.

In order to try to solve all your issues I'll strongly recomend you to update SCM until SP7, which introduces quite a lot of corrections in graphic displays.

Then, have a look at this notes, which do solve more issues regarding graphics:

Notes: 1228211, 1279862, 1151482

Main new features, regarding my experience in implementations are these:

- Users can modify default configured graphic in the interactive table through Switch to Design mode.

- You can see key figures in table view but not in graphic and viceversa (correct usage of this function require having a look at notes and sp update)

- Configuration of lines, fonts, sizes and rest of options is a bit more complex but complete.

Hope this helps.

Hello Miguel Garcia,

Thanks for your feedback.

We are already on SP8 for SCM 5.1. Do we need to run any report for chart customizing as mentioned in one of those notes?

Is there any user parameter to be maintained so that the graph title displays the selection in interactive planning?

Hello there,

As far as I remember there was one report to be run in order to delete entries in some tables which stored information about the graphic display for every single user. I don't know if that report still makes sense when installing SP8, I worked with SP7 and it was needed in order to activate some new fields used in the graphic configuration. Tables involved in storing this "user info" are /sapapo/chrtcush and /sapapo/chrtcus.

Regarding information about the selection, do you mean the legend which shows what master data has been selected? If so there is a parameter in order to swich on/off this legend.

Click on Switch Graphic Settings. Then in Overview --> Legend. Then in visibility untick the option.

Hope this helps

Regards.
