0Recordmode and ROCANCEL

Question

Could you please explain me about  0Recordmode and ROCANCEL and how they are related if at all?

Answer 1

Hi,
Infoobject 0recordmode maintains the images for delta's.it keep tracks the Delta changes.
0recordmode is used when we go for delta
0recordmode is the field added by the system, if the ds if delta capable.
In ODS it is added at the time of creation of the ODS.The 0recordmode is most useful in the delta loads from the ODS to another ODS/Cube.
Include the 0RECORDMODE in your ODS but assign ""(space) in the transfer rules. The 0RECORDMODE would get populated by the system itself.
First: the recrodmode controls how data is posted into cubes or ODS (DSO) Objects.
N for new records
B for Pre Imgages
' ' for after images
R for Reverse Images
X for Storno ()
D for Deletion of a Key (only in ODS possible)
Y-Update image
What extractor delivers what different types of values can be seen via to tables:
ROOSOURCE in the source R/3 System.
There point out the delta mechanism. With this value, check within Table RODELTAM. There you see the different POSSIBLE Values for ROCANCEL delivered by a DataSource.
The relevant object for the controlling of the mode in BW is the InfoObject 0RECORDMODE. Each ODS (DSO) has this Object. For Logistic-Extractors (except MaterialManagement) 0RECORDMODE should be mapped with ROCANCEL.
ROCANCEL (0STORNO) is  Cancellation indicator
0STORNO generally is an InfoObject for Reports. E.G. Material movements. Stornos are posted in R/3 with particular so called movement types. Each movement typer contains an information if it is of type "Storno". If this is so, the field storno contains an X.
If you now map the storno field onto 0RECORDMODE, the record is interpreted as a storno record and will be with blank in the DataTarget.
If you have monotone increasing document numbers (like in CO-PA, CO-OM, MM-INV ...) 0RECORDMODE should be left blank. 0STORNO can be used for Reporting then and be filled differently.
If you can have changes to an already existing document number (like in sales orders or purchase orders) i'd strongly recommend to map 0RECORDMODE onto the delivered ROCANCEL field.
This attribute describes how a record in the delta process is updated. The various delta processes differ in that they each only support a subset of the seven possible characteristic values. If a Data Source implements a delta process that uses several characteristic values, the record mode must be a part of the extract structure and the name of the corresponding filed must be entered in the Data Source as a cancellation field (ROOSOURCE-INVFIELD).
The seven characteristic values are as follows:
