Reverse sign for SAP Netweaver

Introduction

There are four types of accounts included into SAP Netweaver:

  1. INC - Income
  2. LEQ - Liabilities & Equity
  3. AST - Assets
  4. EXP - Expense

The specifics of SAP Netweaver is that INC and LEQ types of accounts by default are displayed with the negative sign.

At the same time in CXO-Cockpit application, connected to SAP Netweaver, the users want to see the report values with the positive sign.

There are two ways how this can be solved in CXO-Cockpit

Using a cube calculation

A cube calculation can be created within CXO-Cockpit for Measures dimension, which will remove minus sign from the report values.

Here is how the cube calculaiton looks:

Please note, that using the cube calculation slows down the application performance

Modification of CXO-Cockpit configuration file

As of release 5.0 we can modify the CXO-Cockpit configuration file in such a way, that the minus sign will be removed automatically. You need to inform CXO-Cockpit suppport team if you want to proceed with this option and they will make the required changes.
