Basic Cube behaviour question

Question

Hi Experts,
I know that this may seem like a basic question but I would like to know how the Cube behaves when there are 2 datasources updating into it.
Say I have the following fields:
1. Datasource 1 : COMPANY  (A)  ---   COLOR    (Blue)  --- SALES QTY  (50 pcs)
2. Datasource 2:  COMPANY  (A)                                     --- SALES QTY  (10 pcs)
If it updates 1 cube, I understand that it will be aggregated so that if you display the total sales qty of COMPANY A:
COMPANY (A)   SALES QTY (60 pcs).
However, my question is that if in your report, you decide to add a drilldown to COLOR.
Will it show as 2 records? Where 1 record shows color as "BLANK"?
COMPANY (A)    COLOR (Blue)   Sales Qty (50 pcs)
COMPANY (A)    COLOR (#)        Sales Qty  (10 pcs)
How to i make it appear as :
COMPANY (A)   COLOR (BLUE)   Sales Qty (60 pcs).
Which is basically what i am trying to summarize.  The 2nd datasource is sort of like a HEADER information only that is why there is no color breakdown. 
Please advise.
Thanks guys!

Answer 1

Hi Vijay,
Thanks. That's what I thought also.
However, how can you explain the case of the Standard 2LIS_13_VDITM and 2LIS_13_VDHDR datasources?
If I want to see in my Bex Report, say, the sales Qty of Billing documents with Address "ABC", it should show me:
Billing Document (from Header&Item)               Address (from Header)            Sales Qty  (from Item)
A1111                                                                     ABC                                        25
Here, the Address characterisctic is not in DS1 but can still show the KF in DS2.
How does the cube behave? Can you help explain how the aggregation works in this case?
Thank you so much.
Regards,
Karen
