Enabling process keys on R/3 side

Question

Hi All,
I have done an enhancement for 2lis_02_itm with few fields.
I have successfully completed this work and i can see the records in RSA3.
Now the client is asking that during testing they found that the process keys are not enabled in R/3 side.They told me to enable process keys.
Can any one please tell me how to do this.
I think we can do via BF11 Tcode but which settings I have to do I am not sure about it.
And please explain me about process keys.
This is very very urgent.
I would appreciate the earliest responce.
Thanks
S VR

Answer 1

Hi,
You need to make 2 settings in R/3 before filling the setuptable.
1) Industory sector selection
2) MAking a Tick mark for BW by using Tcode Bf11.

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), you unfortunately have to delete this data (Tx LBWG). After you have chosen the industry sector by using MCB_, perform the setup again, so that the system fills a valid transaction key for each data record generated. Then load this data into your connected BW by using 'Full update' or 'Initialization of the delta process'. Check, whether the system updates data into the involved InfoCubes now.
If all this is not successful, please see Note 315880, and set the application indicator 'BW' to active using Transaction 'BF11'.
