Map Profit Center as custom field to product

[Former Member]

Hi,

We want to map Profit Center(35 characters) to a custom field in product for some analysis. We want to map it to Custom Attribute 2 (XARLPROA2) this is a 40 character long field.

We do not want to see this field in Reports in UI. Please let us know is this the right approach or would you suggest some other field to which wecan map Profit Center.

Regards

Hi Neel

I am assuming that you are referring to display attribute and not navigation attribute that needs to be added to product. Yes, thats the same as adding an attribute in standard BW way.

And then, in the SPM UI you can display attributes in the contextual menu of a particular product.

But if you do need to do analysis on it then on top of adding the attribute, you need to flag it as navigation and then bring it in the following:

• The respective cube(s) 0ASA_C*

• Add it into the multiprovider 0ASA_MP01

• Add it to the Query

• Log into SPM UI and refresh all data sources (make sure that no other users are logged in at that time), log out

• Clear browser cache and log back in

• Create report with that nav att

Hope that helps!
