Fixed assets from FI to BW

Question

Hi Guys,
I know it is general question. I am new to BW.
I would like to ask if anyone could give me a hint how to extract from FI assets master data to BW on daily basis. Which method I should use (if any guide is available).
I would like to export all necessary data (master data, acquisitions, depreciation, retirements ...)
In BW I would like to use standard content for Fixed assets.
All recommendations/comments are highly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Jan

Hi Jan:
Please take a look at the Business Content documentation available in SAP help, here is the link:

Note that the 0FIAA_C01, 0FIAA_C02, 0FIAA_C03, 0FIAA_C04, 0FIAA_C05 and 0FIAA_C06 Cubes are obsolete now so you should work with the following DSOs and Cubes instead:
DSO 0FIA_DS11 and Cube 0FIAA_C11 - Transactions (Delta)
DSO 0FIA_DS12 and Cube 0FIAA_C12 - Anual Values (Delta)
DSO 0FIA_DS13 and Cube 0FIAA_C13 - Period Values (Delta)
The 2 DataSources that extract the data for the 3 Cubes above are 0FI_AA_11 and 0FI_AA_12.
For Master Data (Texts and Attributes) you should activate the following DataSources:
0ASSET_AFAB_ATTR                  Depreciation Area Real or De
0ASSET_AFAB_TEXT                  Depreciation area real or de
0ASSET_ATTR_TEXT                  Asset Subnumber with Descrip
0ASSET_CLAS_TEXT                  Asset Class
0ASSET_MAIN_TEXT                  Main Asset Number
0DEPRAREA_TEXT                    Depreciation area real or de
0DEPRARTYPE_TEXT                  Standardization of Deprec. A
0DEPREC_KEY_TEXT                  Depreciation key (external)
0EVALGROUP1_TEXT                  Evaluation Group 1
0EVALGROUP2_TEXT                  Evaluation Group 2
0EVALGROUP3_TEXT                  Sort Key 3
0EVALGROUP4_TEXT                  Sort Key 4
0EVALGROUP5_TEXT                  Sort Key 5
0SHEET_GRP_TEXT                   Summariz. of trans. types fo
0TRANSTYPE_ATTR                   Asset Transaction Type
0TRANSTYPE_TEXT                   Asset transaction type
Also note that the DataSource 0ASSET_ATTR_TEXT replaces both 0ASSET_ATTR and 0ASSET_TEXT.
One last word, probably the book "Reporting for SAP Asset Accounting" by Thomas Michael may be useful to you.
Good luck,
Francisco Milán.
