COPA- Customer Grp 2 to be retreived from Sold to part in COPA document.

Question

Hi friends,
The requirement is to retrive Customer grp 2 from sold to part not from ship to part  in COPA document if the sold to party is different from ship to party.
For example :
We have one customer/ payer/sold to party is  10000 and customer grp 2 is YC7.
Ship to party is 6000 and customer Grp 2 is YL9.
When we are doing billing to sold to party 10000, customer grp 2 derived as YL9 in COPA document.
But as per our requirement it shouldbe YC7.
Could you please suggest me any solution for the above requirement.
Thanks & regards,
Amar.

Hi,
Since the requests in the ODS would have been datamarted, this is going to be a tricky issue to correct. If possible, you can resolve this issue with reverse loading:
1. Create 2 temporary cubes as a copy of the original COPA cube. Generate export datasource on the original cube.
2. Create update rules from the original COPA cube to the temporary cubes with automatically proposed mapping. Add logic to reverse the key figures in the start routine for load into temp_cube1 and the new logic (as per business change) into start routine for load into temp_cube2.
3. Selectively load the temp cubes from the original cube so that the wrongly uploaded records are now loaded into the temp_cube1 with reverse key figures and into temp_cube2 with the correct logic.
4. Generate export datasource on the temp cubes and create update rules for loading original cube from the temp cubes with automatically proposed mapping.
5. Reload the reversed data into the original cube without transformation.
6. Reload the correct data into the original cube without transformation.
I hope this would have helped.
