How to add the delete button

Former Member

Hello Guru's and Experts.

I am working on a change request , the change request is as follows

Once a cost simulation is run for a maintenance item and the data transferred to BI, it cannot be deleted from BI, only overwritten with an updated cost simulation. In the instance where the such items are no longer required to be included in the simulation, it must be made possible to delete the simulation costs in BI.

The current design in my project significantly increases the effort required to identify unwanted cost simulations and greatly increases the potential for incorrect data to be used in Budgeting and forecasting.

My question is how to add the delete functionality in the report. is it acheavable through the portal or WAD,

iam new to SAP BI , if possible can anyone kindly suggest me the steps to do this functionality.

Appreciate your quick response..

Thanks

Ravi.

Hi,

1.Insert a button group

2. Goto the properties of the Web Item and specifically to the properties of the 1st button

3. Got to Action Select -> Command via Command wizzard

4. Select tab All commands -> commands for Planning Applications-> Execute a process chain

Now by pressing the button the user will be able to execute any process chain. Create a process chain that will delete the overlapping requests from your InfoCube and connect it with this button.

I would be very carefull handing this out to users though! Process chain execution needs monitoring

Hi Guru,

Thanks for the response...

But the user wants the delete button in the report through portal he wants to delete the unwanted simulation costs data.

They dont want to run the process chain to delete the requests..

Could you please kindly give any other alternative good solution to develop this..

Apreciate your quick response..

Thanks

Hi,

I am afraid that through WAD buttons you can Interact with BW structures only through Process Chains.

You could create a transformation which would overwrite the unwanted simulation with zero values, and execute this transformation through process chain.

If you do not want to use the standard Process chain elements, you have to create an ABAP program which will delete the requested data. But again this has to be included in a process chain.

Hi Guru

Thanks for your valuable information.

We got the requirment changed now from the users , the delete button should display in the report, i mean in protal, Now the user wants to delete with the selection criteria, for example, once the user hits the row in the report, that means if he selects the Main work center, and selects the delete button , he wants all the data related to that main work center to be deleted. and another senario is what ever row the user selects the characteristics in the row, for example, if the user select for any row, i mean it can be any cost center or fiscal year, maintaiance item, cost elements, ..etc.

Once the user selects the row and hit the delete button, and he wants to hit the save save button in the report to make sure it deleted, the other way around , if the dont want to hit save, then he wants the data to be in the report.

In the above scenario's can you please suggest me with the steps how can we acheive it.

Please reply back if you need any other info., Apprieciate your quick response. its very urgent requirment which we have to start...

sorry to bother u..

Thanks
