Enahancement to 2lis_02_scl, EBAN table extraction & Actual GI date

Question

Hello Guyz
I need to extract 3 important fields into BI:
1. Committed date on the Purhcase Order Schedule Line (Field: DAT01, Table: EKET). This is not available as standard in 2lis_02_scl in LBWE. I can enhance the extractor and populate the field with USER EXIT. But I know that deltas might not get triggerred for this field? Is my assumption correct? If so, how can I extract this field and ensure that deltas will flow into BW?
2. EBAN extraction --> Purchase Requisition Release Date (Field: FRGDT, Table: EBAN): I need to obtain 'Purchase Requisition' information into BW. But there is no standard extractor available in ECC. Am I left with building a genric delta extractor or can someone suggest a better way?
3. Where is the Actual Goods Issue date stored for Purchase orders? In the EKET table we have GI date and GR date but there are planned dates. But we do have Actual GR date in 2lis_02_sgr... but this extractor is only built for Goods Receipts information? So how can I get Goods Issued information?
Please provide an answer to any/all of the above.
Thanks,
Srujan.

For your first question, you could do the below.
Assuming that the DataSource is delta capable, you can populate the new field data using 'Repair Full Load':
1. Create a View based on the base tables and EKET. Include the new fields along with the DSO key(s). Create a generic extractor based on the view. Write CMOD code to populate your new field. The CMOD code is as below. Test the extractor in RSA3 to make sure the records are being extracted. Replicate the DS in BW.
2. Create transformation for your Datastore with this new datasource. Create a full load Infopackage. Under the Scheduler tab of Infopackage, select 'Indicate request as repair request'. Schedule the IP. This will populate all historical data for your new fields without harming the deltas.
NOTE: If the record size if huge, you would want to limit the size using some filter criteria. For example, load the data only for a couple of years.
Once DSO is loaded and data activated, Infocube will automatically pick these delta records.
CASE i_datasource.
data: v_dat01 like EKET-DAT01.
l_tabix LIKE sy-tabix.
when '2LIS_02_SCL'.
LOOP AT c_t_data INTO wa_t_data.
l_tabix = sy-tabix.
SELECT SINGLE DAT01 into v_dat01 from EKET where <condition>.
if sy-subrc = 0.
wa_t_data-DAT01 = v_dat01.
MODIFY c_t_data FROM wa_t_data INDEX l_tabix.
endif.
For your second question, building a generic extractor will be ideal. Hope this helps.
