Building a Generic Extractor on the Material (MBEW) Valuation table

When I build an extractor based off the MBEW table does it matter whether the generic extractor is transactional i.e. any performance, conflict type issues? My thought is to build it as a Master data generic extractor? Thanks

Hi,
I hope, It Does not matter. We can created Master data source on MBEW.
If you want to define this DS as Transaction datasource and If MBEW has More than material and plant as primary key, then it is better to upload the data to ODS first to avoid duplicate records problems while uploading to master data infoobject.

Error when building a Generic Extractor

When I try and build a Generic Extractor using the table S642 I get the following error:
System setting does not allow changes to
to object OSOA ZS642_INVENTORY
Why is this and how do I resolve? Thanks

Hi Niten
Can you try building generic extractor based on view.
Create a view on table S642 and then based on this view create the generic datasource.
Also the error message you are getting is system settings does not allow changes to object- is ZS642_INVENTORY the name of generic data source you are trying to create? I hope you have authorization to create generic datasource and system is open for changes.
Hope this helps

How to check the material consumption using tables

Hi,
I would like to know how to generate or view the material consumption at table level. Can anyone please specify the transactions codes and tables names how to check the consumption of material. I also like to know how to analysis the consumption of material between components and finished material. Please provide me the step by step wise how to do.Thanking you
Regards,
Sivaji Kumar Madhu Kiran

You can calculate material consumption in table MSEG. you will need to segregate the material documents based on movement types and then add or reduce the quantities of each material document. for example a material document with movement 101, add the quantity for the material, and when there is a issue material document like 201 or 221 reduce the quantity from the material stock.

Generic Extractors for HR Reports using views and Infoset Query

Hi Friends... I am working to come out with the HR reports in BW for the HR reports which are already there in R/3. The HR reports in R/3 are created based on Infoset Query.I could not find any standard business content cubes which can give me these reports.
1)So please can anyone give me step by step approach so to create a generic extractors based on Infoset Query.
2)And also how to populate the data into the fields of the generic extractor which is created by Infoset Query( Please provide any sample ABAP code if available)
3)can anyone give me step by step approach so to create a generic extractors based on View/Table.
4)And also how to populate the data into the fields of the generic extractor which is created by View/Table( Please provide any sample ABAP code if available)
Thanks

Hi Kalyani,
We normally go for View or infoset when the data to be fetched in BW is distributed in different tables in SAP R/3.
Had the data been available in one table we can easily build our datasource on that table but if there are more tables then its not possible to do it without Views or Infosets. You can use Function Modules to build your datasource in case it involves complex logic to figure out the data from various tables.
Depending upon the table relationships we create view and include various fields from these tables in that view. Same is with the Infosets, you can have more flexible options like Outer Join, left outer Join etc.

Generic Extractor: enriching GL Data with Purchasing Data

Experts,
This is my first time with Generic Extractor.
Requirement:
We have a requirement to enrich GL data with Purchasing data via the Material Document Number.
I need to provide this upto to the datawarehouse layer wherein another team will take over.
Solution idea:
Material Document is not part of the datasource 2LIS_02_SCL.
a. Should I enhance this datasource to include material number OR
b. Develop a concept to create a generic delat enabled extractor that pulls data from EKBE, GR and IR information.
In EKBE multiple material documents can exist per PO. The extractor returns 2 record per PO (before and after image) with the updated information.So if we have the first GR with Material document 901 and then a second GR with material doc 902 the extractor loads 3 records. New record, Before image and after image and the only one stored in BI is the after image. material doc would have value 902 if enhanced.
For the generic extractor approach the the ability to load deltas is crucial, since the EKBE table is very big. Maybe
"CPUDT-Day On Which Accounting Document Was Entered" and "CPUTM-Time of Entry" can be leveraged as delta hook.
Any ideas???
Thanks,
Jain

Difference between Customer Generated Extractors and Generic Extractors

Hi all,
Can anyone please tell me the difference between Customer Generated Extractors and Generic Extractors. I know that for all modules Generic extraction is possible by creating a datasource(RSO2) on top of a table, View or SAP Query in SE11. What are customer generated extractors like LIS, CO/PA and FI/SL.
What kind of extraction is used for FI/AR and FI/AP. To my understanding we have BW Content Extractors. Can anyone explain the extraction method and delta extraction for AR and AP.
Thanks,
Sabrina.

Hi,
Customer generated extractors are running on top of statistics data collection process in R/3. They extract data from statistical tables already available in R/3 and also use the mechanism already provided in R/3 to capture the delta.
For example, PO data goes to statistical table S012 (it is an LIS table) and you can build a generated extractor on top of it. The difference between such extractor and a generic one is the fact that these extractors (eg LIS) use the same mechanism of capturing delta that the statistics table was doing (for example data that goes into S012 is also captured by these generated extractors). Some system tables and structures are generated automatically to support this functionality, you do not have to develop anything for this.
Generic extractors on the other hand simply let you pull data from table/view/query etc. You have to develop code/functionality to support delta capturing for such extractors. If you built a generic extractor on top of S012 (it is a statistical table - LIS), you can pull its data to BW, but you do not have the delta capturing functionality in such case, you will have to code it yourself.
As a thumb rule, you go with the standard/generated extractors, and use generic extractors only if it is necessary to be so.
FI/AR and FI/AP extractors are part of business content (I think) and support delta functionality. To get detailed info on these, you can also look at help documentation -

Generic Extractor on DB Table without Date, Time stamp

Hi all,
We have requirement of creating a generic extractor on the table which doesnt have date or time stamp in the data field. The only option availabel is to extract from Document numbers.
And we cant put the extractor mode to "Read from view" because the table contains Currency field which refers to external table for currency key.
The moment we change the extractor mode from Extraction from view to Extraction from FM the option "Numeric pointer" gets hidden.
What shall we do in this scenario ?? Pls advice.
Thanks.
Regards
Nimesh

Hello Tapan, Prakash
Prakash : Currency key is needed in BW .
Tapan : I was just trying diff. options i.e. extraction from view and FM . Problem with Generic Extractor is that i dont have any date fields getting updated in the table. The only field that can be used for delta is document number. And Generic extractor only allows date or time stamp option , its not allowing numeric pointer if one reads from FM.

Generic Extractor Issue

Hello Experts,
I have one small doubt on the Generic Extractor. My Generic Extractor is based on the Delta with the changed on Field(AEDAT) and I wanted to know is it possible to extract the data if changed on is not updated to the document but other fields are getting updated.
Like if the Sales Document status is changing from One status to other. In this case the AEDAT for that sales order wont get updated. in this case is it possible to extract that record as Delta thru the Generic Extractor if the Extractor is based on AEDAT.
Suggestions will be appreciated..
thanks
Bulli

Hello Bulli
Its very muc possible to define delta on 2 fields in generic data source , you need to use created on and changed on field to define delta by modifying standard extractor program

Generic extractor and an append structure

Hi all,
this system is driving me crazy. So, that's something worked in former times..
I created an generic extractor on VEKP. I have not restricted to any selection criteria or hide any field. The system generated the extractor and everything is fine. THEN I created an append on the generic extractor and put different fields inside the append. I want (and this works) to fill this different field via user exit for extraction. All field in the append are having the prefix ZZ, all field are characteristic and there is no inconsistency in the append. I activated the append.
AND NOW - none of the fields of the append is available in RSA6 to hide or none hide or do anything. They are not available. By checking with SE11 on the generated structure - all field including the append are there.
We are on ECC 5.0 with PI 2004.1 for 5.0 SP 10.
Can anyone help. As i told you, this worked in former times (with SAP 4.6C with PI 2004.1 or lower).
Regards
OJ

Hi Siggi,
I have not created an special Append on the VEKP. I created an generic extractor on the VEKP. All fields of VEKP are available and I can hide or choose selection-field for all of these fields. No problem.
i created an append on the extract structure via RSA6 - enhancement. I know that after generating the generic extractor with RSO2 all settings done in former times in RSA6 are lost. But, my problem is: <b>I can not see any of the fields I put into the append. They are not there.</b> Not in ROOSFIELD and following not in RSA6. And that's the problem.
Thanks for your support.

Enhancing a BW Generic Extractor

I have built a generic extractor in the BW system and want to add some ZZ fields. Where can I write the exit to populate the ZZ field? I get the message "Program does not exist" when I go to for example: ZXRSAU01 or ZXRSAU02 in the BW system? Thanks

Hi Niten,
First you will have to create a new project in BW in CMOD transaction and
you have to assign the enhancment RSAP0001 to it in CMOD . I think you are
taking RSAP0001 as the project which is wrong . Please follow the below steps
1. Go to T-code CMOD in BW and enter a new project name say ZBW1. Click on the 'Attributes' radio button below and select the Create button . Enter a short text in the next window and save it.
2 Click on the radio button 'Enhancement Assignement' and press change button .
In the next window assign 'RSAP0001' as the enhancement .
3. Now activate the project and select the ' Components' Radio button . Press Change button and you will see the exits EXIT_SAPLRSAP_001 , 002 , 003 and 004. Click on 001 and you will get a new window . Click on include program ZXRSAU01 and press enter . Here you can start coding the user exit.
But please not that if the RSAP0001 enhancement is used in some other project then it can't be used again in other project.

Prakash

0WBS element (external format) as append field in generic extractor?

Hi Guru's,
we use an generic extractor for our CO-PA data, as a join of different tables. Now I get the issue with this internal format of PSP element. It is of NUMC 8 and my basic data PSP element is CHAR 24. As they are not matching I want to add the POSID as an append field. But how to do this?
In table PRPS I found the Include PRPS_INC an thought about using this in my extract structure? Is this possible? How do I need to go on and to simply have my additional field - with content! - in my extract structure?
First I used an append and put in my include. As there are no fields extracted to BI I think this is wrong!? How can I delete my append?
Thanks

Material Master-Valuation class

Dear Friends,
Depends upon the material type valuation class value is fetched by the system......Can any1 explain how this happens?......where it is assigned?.....whrs the link?.......Thanks in advance......

Hi saravana
Following the configuration path:
IMG>Materials Management>Valuation and Account Assignment-->Split Valuation without wizard
Here we will be assigning the valuation grp to the plant and give the G/L account also
Check the t.codes .OMWD, ,OMWB where assignment is done. Because of this only the valuation class will come in our MMR ->accounting tab 1
