Enhance COPA datasource

Question

I need to enhance a COPA datasource but I cannot add fields in COPA structure as it is already full. So Need to write a code to populate the fields. We require partner function fields from VBPA table and populate the data.
I cannot create generic delta based on VBPA as this does not contain timestamp field.
When writing the code and populate the data, Will this fetch Delta data for COPA datasource? for ex. if someone changes the partner function for sales order will that be captured as a delta? If not then please suggest what should be the approach for above.

Hi,
Look up will work. it will be another way for you.
but delta on partner function will won't work thru LO data sources.
LO data sources are standard one and will work on their own delta function.
You need to understand more functionally about partner function.
this won't be the unique for one record. same function will may have multiple records.
in such cases we don't have any option to make partner function as delta relevant field thru custom data source.
Another work around:
Create one custom data source on table VBPA with less fields along with partner function.
load custom data source data to bw DSO(xyz).
create multiprovider on custom DSO(xyz) and copa cube.
At data source - you need to run daily full load only(info pack and dtp)
Thanks
