Processkey on 2LIS_02_ITM

Question

Hi SDN,
We have a few PO for which in BI there are records with processkey 002 and 003 but none with processkey 001. Is it possible? If so, in what circumstances 2LIS_02_ITM may not bring records for processkey 001?
Thanks for the help.

Hi
oss note 353042-Howto: Activate transaction key (PROCESSKEY)-should explain this.
Symptom Fields BWGEO, BWGEOO, BWGVP, BWGVO, BWNETWR, BWMNG, etc. of DataSources 2LIS_02_SCL, 2LIS_02_ITM, 2LIS_03_BF, 2LIS_03_UM, 2LIS_40_REVAL are not filled.
This may lead to the following:
The system does not perform any update into an InfoCube (for example: 0RT_C*, 0PUR_C01, 0CP_PURC1 and so on), even though data arrives in BW. This occurs with the following InfoSources: * 2LIS_02_SCL, 2LIS_02_ITM * 2LIS_03_BF, 2LIS_03_UM * 2LIS_40_REVAL With some restriction, this symptom also occurs with the following InfoSources if they are used in connection with retail or consumer products. (InfoCube: 0RT_* or 0CP_* ). * 2LIS_11_VAITM, 2LIS_12_VCITM, 2LIS_13_VDITM Other terms 0PROCESSKEY, PROCESSKEY, 0RT_C01, 0RT_C02, 0RT_C03, 0RT_C04, BWBRTWR, BWGEO, BWGEOO, BWGVP, BWGVO, BWNETWR, BWMNG Reason and Prerequisites The process key (0PROCESSKEY and 0BWAPPLNM) of the InfoSources has not been filled. As a result, no key figures are updated because of the update routine of the participating InfoCube and along with it no records are inserted into the InfoCube.
In each update routine, the system checks the content of the PROCESSKEY. If this field has no contents, then no data is written into the InfoCube because of the IF condition in the update rules. Solution So that you can work in the above mentioned InfoSources, you MUST activate the determination of the process key.
This is done with the help of Transaction MCB_ which you can find in the OLTP IMG for BW (Transaction SBIW) in your attached R/3 source system. Here you can choose your industry sector.
'Standard' and 'Consumer products' are for R/3 standard customers, whereas 'Retail' is intended for customers with R/3 Retail only. You can display the characteristics of the process key (R/3 field BWVORG, BW field 0PROCESSKEY) by using Transaction MCB0. If you have already set up historical data (for example for testing purposes) by using the setup transactions (Statistical Setup Programs) (for example: Purchasing: Tx OLI3BW, material movements: OLI1BW) into the provided setup tables (for example: MC02M_0SCLSETUP, MC03BF0SETUP),
If all this is not successful, please see Note 315880, and set the application indicator 'BW' to active using Transaction 'BF11'. Related notes: 157317 --> You MUST make sure that this note is relevant for you. 352344 -> Process key + reversals in Inventory Management
