Handling inventory cubes

Hi All,
I 'm working on inventory cube 0IC_c03( Material Movements).
I loaded the opening balance from 2lis_03_bx and compressd the request with no marker update.I got more added records than transfered records. later i loaded movements 2lis_03_bf (initilize delta process).0 records r updated and same as 2lis_03_um. Is that necessary to compress with marker update?.
If we get more added records how do we compare the date with source?
Its very urgent.

1)Activate the DSes-BX,BF,UM in RSA5
2)Activate the ES for BF,UM
3)Lock all other R/3 users
4) delete the set up table LBWQ for apllication 03
5) Delete the entries in LBWQ/SM13 for your application(03) by sheduling collective run(LBWE)
6) Fill the setup table for BX by running MCNB
Fill the setup tables for BF,UM from SBIW tcode.
7) Release R/3 users
8) Complete the Initialization of stock by using BX datasource in BIW
9)Complete the Delta init for BF,UM
10) Schedule Collective run
11) Create and Schedule periodic Delta loads
12) ) In case of Delta initialization request 0f 2LIS_03_BX, we must do compression with 'Marker update'.(any way then onwards there will be no delta loadings from this DS)
13) In case of Delta initialization request 0f 2LIS_03_BF, we must do compression with 'No Marker update'.
14) In case of Delta Loads 0f 2LIS_03_BF, we must do compression with 'Marker update'.
Here I assumed that you already activated the required Cubes/ODS,Update rulesa and transfer rules ,before 6th step menioned above.

Non-cumulative Inventory cube to snapshot Inventory cube scenario

We currently have a non-cumulative Inventory cube in production system and the stock values match to ECC data. Now we want to build a snapshot cube (to improve query performance) and the question is can we use the current cube (non-cumulative) as data source for the new snapshot cube or do we need to load it from ECC? Is there any special handling needed if it is loaded from current cube?
Thanks!

Hi,
You can use the existing cube, but make sure that you have implemented the OSS Note 1426533 before doing this.

Inventory Cube Loading - Questions....

This is the process I intend to follow to load InfoCube 0IC_C03 and the questions therein. I have the "how to handle inventory scenarios" document, so please don't suggest I read that.
1A) Delete Set-up tables for application 03
1B) Lock Users
1C) Flush LBWQ and delete entries in RSA7 related to application 03 (optional - only if needed)
2A) Fill set up tables for 2LIS_03_BX. Do Full load into BW Inventory Cube with "generate initial status" in InfoPackage.
2B) Compress request with a marker update
3A) Fill set up table for 2LIS_03_BF with posting date 01/01/2006 to 12/31/2007 (Historical) and load to Inventory Cube with a full update
      QUESTION1: Does this need a marker update?
      QUESTION2: Is this a good strategy - do movement documents that old get updated once posted?
      QUESTION3: Does the posting dates restriction depend on on how far back in history we want to go and look at stock values?
3B) Fill set up table for 2LIS_03_BF with posting date 01/01/2008 to 9/9/999 (Current) and load to Inventory Cube with a delta init with data transfer.
3C) Compress load in 3B without a marker update
4A) Fill set up table for 2LIS_03_UM and load to Inventory Cube with a delta init
4B) Compress load in 4A without a marker update
      QUESTION4: How should we select the posting date criteria? Do I need to load from 01/01/2006 to 9/9/9999 since that's the range used for BF?
5) Start V3 update jobs via Job Control
6) Intiate subsequent delta loads from BF and UM and compress with marker update
QUESTION 5: Is the sequence of loading BX first, then BF and UM fixed? or can I do BF and then BX, UM
QUESTION 6: Any tips on minimizing downtime in this particular scenario? Please don't suggest generic steps. If you can suggest something specific to this situation, that'd be great.
I hope you can help with the 6 questions I asked above.
Regards,
Anita S.

Hi Anita,
Please find my answers below. I have worked enough with this scenario and hence feel that these would be worth considering for your scenario.
3A) Fill set up table for 2LIS_03_BF with posting date 01/01/2006 to 12/31/2007 (Historical) and load to Inventory Cube with a full update
QUESTION1: Does this need a marker update?
In this step we dont need marker update while compressing.
QUESTION2: Is this a good strategy - do movement documents that old get updated once posted?
I am able to get the question quite clearly.
QUESTION3: Does the posting dates restriction depend on on how far back in history we want to go and look at stock values?
Yes. We need to start from latest and then go back as backwards as we want to see the stock values. This holds true when we are using non cumulative key figures
4B) Compress load in 4A without a marker update
QUESTION4: How should we select the posting date criteria? Do I need to load from 01/01/2006 to 9/9/9999 since that's the range used for BF?
No need to provide any selection criteria for UM while loading to BW, as this would fetch the same data filled in setup of revaluations.Unless you are looking for only some history other wise you can fill that for company code list and bring the whole data to BW by a single full load, as the data wont be that huge as compared to BF
6) Intiate subsequent delta loads from BF and UM and compress with marker update
QUESTION 5: Is the sequence of loading BX first, then BF and UM fixed? or can I do BF and then BX, UM
This is fixed in terms of compression with marker updates.
QUESTION 6: Any tips on minimizing downtime in this particular scenario? Please don't suggest generic steps. If you can suggest something specific to this situation, that'd be great.
*Yes. Most of time consuming activity is for filling BF history. Negligable for BX and UM comparitively.
Either try having multiple BF selective setup filling based on posting date based on available background processes or filli open months setup during downtime and rest history once you unlock the system for postings. The reason for this being we dont expect any posting for history*
Feel free to ask any further questions about this.

Inventory Cube -

Hi All,
I have a need for a customized inventory cube, and am planning to use BX, BF and UM extractors into the same cube. I will enhance all the 3 extractors where they have all the characteristics needed for my cube and queries to match my requirements.
I have the following questions.
1. Some of my reports will require to report weekly and some monthly and some adhoc or when ever they want to see (like daily). So we will be updating the cube every night. Since it gets loaded every night if I left 'No marker Update' unchecked, but COMPRESS the cube after daily load how the data will be kept in the cube? and the impact on the queries.
2. How to decide which key figure should be non-cumulative. I have beginning balance, receipts, issues adjustments and turn rate for each week. But I believe except beg balance rest of the key figures can be cumulative.
If you have done inventory please advice.
Thanks,
Alex.

Alex,
If I define the amount as non-cumulative (what ever the KYF) and gets calculated during the query run time and based on the time requested in the query (cal week, calmonth etc) the value will be internally calculated and displayed in the query. is this a valid stament?
--> Yes. That is the advantage of Non-Cumulative keyfigures.
--> Inventory CUBE: 0IC_C03 contains calday, week, month. Based on user selection it displays balances for day level or week level or monthe level. No need to do any speicific calculation at updaterules or transformation level.
--> Just do delta's daily and compress with marker update(means no check box).

Performance query on 0IC_C03 inventory cube

Hello,
I am currently facing performance problems on this cube. The query is on material groups so the number of row returned are not to high.
The cube is compressed. Could aggregates be a solution, or does this not work well on this cube because on the non-cumulative key figure?
Does anyone have any hints on speeding this cube up? (the only tip I see in the collective note is to always compress)
Best regards
Jørgen

Hi Ruud,
Once compression with Marker update, latest balances will be created automatically for inventory cube: 0IC_C03.
Historic moments only required to show stock status for any historic date(eg: 02-01-2008).
If user not interested to check 3 years old status of stock, old data can be deleted selectively from cube using selective deletion.

Data Update Error in Inventory Cube

Hi All,
I am able to Load the data from InfoSource 2LIS_03_BX in the inventory cube, but when I tried to Load data from InfoSource 2LIS_03_BF in the Inv. cube, where thing seems to be fine QM Status is also Green but the data is not getting updated in the cube.
What can be the reason for data no getting updated in the cube.

Inventory cube with Movement Type

In standard Inventory cube 0IC_C03 we have added movement type and loaded the data(followed the process exactly as mentioned in the How to handle Inventory management and compressed).
After loading the data materialwise valuated stock qty and value is matching, but when we drill down movement typewise(for ex.101,102 etc) data is not matching with R/3.All 101 movement types showing in negative values.
Do we have to do any changes in the standard routines if we add movement types in the cube 0IC_C03?.We are loading the data based on processing keys as per the standard routines.
Please help me with your inputs.
Thanks in advance..
Soujanya

Hi,
1)Receipt and Issue key figures already avilable in the cube right?.Still do I have to add in the zic_c03?.
I would like to suggest you to take fields of the cube as it is the fileds available in BF datasource . And any way have those Kf mentioned by you are already in 0IC_C03 cube,so no need to take them here also.
2)If we drill down based on movement type in the report we have to include on receipt and issue key figures?.
In the drill down report , you better take KF 0QUANT_B,0VALUE_LC into columns and Movement type into Rows.
3)We shouldn't look valuated stock qty and valuated stock value based on movement type?
Yes,It does not make scence.

Handling Inventory managment

Hi Friends,
May be this topic might have delt many times in this forum ,
I am new to handling 0IC_C03 Cube where in i went through the doucument How to handle the inventory managment(snap shot scneriao).
I went through some OSS notes regarding the Marker settings and Compressions.
I have some basic answers and very enthusiastic to know more abt the cube.
I do know we have to set the marker when you load data source 2LIS_03_BX,and do not set the marker when we load/delta load with out marker(no marker).My question is.
1) when opening balance is taken we do set the marker and compress,is that we set marker only first time we we load BX data source.
2) how frequently we should compress the request
3) BX data soure is loaded only for one time.
4)How will be fact table look like when we set marker.
Thanks & Regards
Ram

hi,
1) when opening balance is taken we do set the marker and compress,is that we set marker only first time we we load BX data source.
Ans - yes, this compression will update the reference point (markar) for the non cumaltive key figures used in cube.(BX load is done only once)
2) how frequently we should compress the request
Ans - once the init is compressed, delta loads were not mandatory to compress, but if you do compression then report performance will be good.(non cumulative KFs will get values only at the report run time with the help of markar set for them.
3) BX data soure is loaded only for one time.
Yes
4)How will be fact table look like when we set marker.
Ans- All the data from F table will be moved to E table as in ordinary compression the reference point is get updated.

Inventory cube 0IC_C03 ,Stock on particular date

Hi All,
   We are trying to get the stock on a particular date using cube 0IC_C03 ,but we are unable to get the total stock on a given date.
1)Ex: I want stock on 01.12.2009 ,but in the query output I am getting null values.
I am only getting the total stock quantity on the loaded date for ex:04.01.2010(which is my data loading date in to the cube).
2)And when we restrict 0calday with <=01.12.2009 ,i have to get the total stock till 01.12.2009
Thanks&regards,
Sunitha

Hi,

Treatment of historical full loads with Inventory cube
Setting up material movement/inventory with limit locking time
1)Ex: I want stock on 01.12.2009 ,but in the query output I am getting null values.
   I am only getting the total stock quantity on the loaded date for ex:04.01.2010(which is my data loading date in to the cube).
For 2LIS_03_BX it will give the extracted date only
2)And when we restrict 0calday with <=01.12.2009 ,i have to get the total stock till 01.12.2009
try with below options.
Use :
0VALSTCKVAL   " for Value
0VALSTCKQTY   " for Qty
0CALMONTH        " for Month
Use the above combinations in New Selections in columns and go it.
For Qty Opening:
New Selection bad drag abd drop following things
0VALSTCKQTY   " for Qty
0CALMONTH        " for Month and restrict with less then or equalto option variable (single value, user input) and set the offeset
                               value = -1 bcoz if user will give 12.2009 , so it will display 11.2009 closing stock, this is opening for 12.2009.
For Qty Closing:
New Selection bad drag abd drop following things
0VALSTCKQTY   " for Qty
0CALMONTH        " for Month and restrict with less then or equalto option variable (single value, user input) .
In the same way build for Value and other Keyfigures on 0IC_C03.
And
Drag & drop
0MATERAIL
0PLANT " Give some Input Variable.
See the steps.

If it is BI 7 then for BX in in DTP in Extraction Tab you need to select Extacrion mode = NON-Cumulative option.

Inventory Cube Compression - Non-Cumulative

Dear All
I have loaded setup tables in R/3
BX as on date             TAC MCNB1
BF i.e. Historical         TAC OLI1BW
UM                            TAC OLIZBW
I have loaded the Inventory Cube form all the three Data Sources
2LIS_03_BX : Initial Status
2LIS_03_BF : Initialization
2LIS_03_UM : Initialization
The queries are <b>fine without compression</b>
I have compressed the cube
2LIS_03_BX : with marker update
2LIS_03_BF : without marker update
2LIS_03_UM : without marker update
After compression the data for Stock issues in 24,36,48,60 months is giving vague values i.e.. IT IS ADDING UP ALL THE PREVIOUS VALUES TO SHOW FINAL VALUE
WHAT ARE THE SETTINGS TO BE MADE FOR COMPRESSION OF NON-CUMULATIVE CUBES ?
AM I MISSING ANYTHING (STEPS) ?
Thanks & Regards
Daniel

Dear Anil
I have followed the same procedure
i.e.
BX-init: Compression with marker update
BF-init: Compression without marker update
UM-init: Compression without marker update
BF-delta loads: Compression with marker update
UM-delta loads: Compression with marker update
But surprisingly the values are not reflecting correctly

Inventory cube non cumulative KF displaying incorrectly.

Hi
I have created a inventory cube which is a copy of 0IC_C03, fed from a DSO which has the all the Material documents.
I have intitialised using the BX extraxctor to the cube, then loading data from r/3 via the dso. Have MP on top of inventory and revaluation cube.
Due to an error in the code logic i had to drop the cube and reload the data from the BX PSA and subsequently the DSO.
my problem started then, the cumulative key figure have gone haywire ie they the balance display rubbish data. the data loaded into the cube is correct
also if I delete the latest request and reload the request, then the KF display correctly. strange!
I also the same problem for value as i have a revaluation cube. the inventory values are wrong, when i do a list cube from the MP all is ok.
i checked the validity slice rsdv, it is ok.
i also only have 0calday as the non cumulative setting.
Another thing i noticed was if filter the material by one plant then i get the correct value, if i try to display all plants then it all the balances go incorrect.
also if i see the balances by month only the latest month is incorrect.
if you need more info please feel free to ask.
appreciate if some can propose a solution

Hi Lawrence,
SAP suggests to upload non-cumulatives NEVER from a DSO but from the PSA in parallel to DSO and Cube.

Inventory cube - non cumulativekey fig values are showing -ve values

Hi Guru's,
For Improving the performance of inventory cube *0IC_C03
The following steps i did:
1) Created History cube by taking a copy of actual cube (0IC_C03).
2) Transferred all the four years of data (2007, 2008, 2009, 2010) to history cube(4 yr data) as a back up to do clustering and for cube remodelling.
3) After doing all these, loaded the current 3 years (2008, 2009, 2010)data back to the actual cube and kept one year data in the history cube (2007) (i.e maintained only recent 3yrs data in actual cube).
5) Created a multiprovider includes actual and history cubes and populated the existing report on top of the multiprovider.
6) After purging one year data from the actual cube, stock values in the reports are showing negative values
7) To clear that issue i loaded the 2007 year data back to the actual cube (now the cube has all years data as it was before) to avoid the negative stock value, but again stock values are showing negative values.
How to solve this issues in inventory cube..
how too eliminate the negative value in reports which was working prperly before data purging( removing the first year data from the actual cube)

Hi prayog.. 10q for answering... Yeah i went 2 the data targets. And the forumlae is already wrriten like this IF( Debit/Credit = 'H', Qty in OUn, ( 1- * Qty in OUn ) ) for Actual Consum. K.F and IF( Debit/Credit = 'H', Amt. in local curr., ( 1- * Amt. in local curr. ) ) for Amount.....
So i already said that from one of the infosource the data is flowing through ODS and then 2 CUBE. So i checked out the data in ODS with the movement type and posting date as per in the Report.. I selected the 'Debit/Credit' = H and Movement type and Posting date... But in ODS o/p the keyfig's are not displayed..... This is the problem...
Cheers,

Non Cumulative Inventory Cube Remodel

Hello Gurus,
I've existing inventory cube with non-cumulative key figures with large amount of data. We are using standard non cumulative key figures 0TOTALSTCK, 0ISSTOTSTCK & 0RECTOTSTCK.
Now I've a new requirement to report issues (0ISSTOTSTCK) & receipts (0RECTOTSTCK) based only on LB. Right now they both are in base UOM. Converting them in LB in query (on the fly) is not an option because of volume / performance of report.
I'm planning to do this in backend by adding two more key figures for issues & receipts where i'll convert standard ones in LB. I'm not going to touch any of existing non cumulative key figures. But the overall structure (F table) is going to change.
I'm concerned whether this will work? Any risks? Marker updates?
Thanks.

Inventory data load from Inventory Cube to another Copy Cube

Hello Experts,
I am trying to load Inventory data from the Inventory cube(say YCINV) to a copy cube say YCOPY_CINV(copy of Inventory cube), but the results appear inconsistant when I compare the reports on these 2 cubes. I am trying to populate a fiield in copy cube so that I can populate the same data back to the original cube with the new field in it, I am doing this reload back and forth for historical data purpose only.
I have seen lot of posts as how to run the setups for Inventory data, but my case does not need to perform set up runs.
Does the note 1426533 solve the issue of loading from one cube to another ? we are on SAP BI 7.01 with SP 06 ,but the note specifies SP 07 ?
I have tried note 375098 to see if it works, but I do not see the options as mentioned from step "Using DTP (BW 7.x)" in BI to perform this note
Please advise on whether to go with implementing note 1426533 or is there any other way to load inventory data from one cube to other.
Regards,
JB

Hi Luis,
Thanks for your reply,
I do not see any setting like Intial stock in DTP except "initial non-cumulative for non- cumulative". I did try using the option "initial non-cumulative for non- cumulative" ,but the results still do not match with the inventory cube data.I do not see the check box for marker in the copy cube (under roll up tab). Please let me know if we can really implement this solution ,i.e. copying from inventory cube to copy cube and then re-loading it back to inventory cube for historical data. Currenlty, I am comparing the queries on these 2 cubes, if the data matches then I can go ahead and implement it in Production, other wise it would not be wise to do so .

JB

Loading to inventory cube - LBWQ ( entry MCEX03 missing )

Dear Guru's,
My main idea is to store only last 1 years of data in inventory cube .
I do not want to load the movements & revaluation data from ECC but reconstruct.
I have successfully initialized only 2LIS_03_BX and filled the set up table and further loaded in to BW.
For movements data i wanted to recontruct , so i reconstructed .
BW --> opening stock is correct.when compared with MB5B
Movements ( some data missing ) -- If i check for the historical stock , results does not tally.
I further checked and found some transactions missing in the cube ( when compared to MB51 movements list )
I tried to bring in these into BW using full load of 2LIS_03_BF.
it fetched 0 records.
I deleted the initialization request from info package in BW for 2lis_03_bf earlier
RSA3 --> also 0 records.
LBWE --> Job control scheduled to run every 1 hour.
RSA7 --> found job scheduled.
LBWQ --> no entry for MCEX03
I have run init with out data transfer and then tried to load full . still 0 records .
Also at rsa3 0 records.
Please help to advise how i can fetch these missing movements / records in to BW
Thanks & regards,
Sudhir.

Hello Janardhan,
When ever a full update is complete, the next records i.e. delta records moves into the Extractor Queue (LBWQ ) and after this moves through Scheduled process in delta Queue ( RSA7) .
The role of Setup tables is limited when you need the full extraction from the Application tables . Setup tables are restructuring tables .. basically are pooled tables which are introduced in the LO Extraction to ease up the extraction . Here System doesn't need to look for the Application table for data , this saves down time and consistency of records.
From Reconstruction it is relevant in 3x. Could you please elaborate what you tried to do..!
You can refer to the below links
Setup tables
LO Cockpit data extraction
Hope this helps...!
