Symptom
You created a KPI and noticed that when the value of a key figure is below zero, the system will display 0.
Environment
- SAP Cloud for Customer
- SAP Business by Design
Reproducing the Issue
- Log into your SAP Cloud for Customer system for example.
- Go to the Business Analytics work center and the view Design KPI.
- Search for the KPI ABC (ABC stands for your KPI name).
- In the result rows, select the KPI ABC and click on Preview.
- Notice that the result on the left top shows the value 0 when this KPI actually has negative values.
Cause
The KPI scaling is applied on actual value by 100. The result being a single digit with minus sign, when system tries to apply scaling and round off the value becomes 0.
Resolution
When creating the KPI ABC, please change the scaling to 1 from 100. Thus the KPI will show the actual value as expected. This behaviour also applies for SAP Business by Design.
