How to setup and load hierarchies in BW?

Question

Dear BW gurus,
We have vendor hierarchy in ECC table LFMH.In BW when i try to load this hierarchy for 0VENDOR using 0VENDOR_LKLS_HIER datasource, i do not see the hierarchy that i need from the ECC (in the "available hierarchies in OLTP" option in the infopackage), instead it shows me some other irrevelant hierarchies.Is there any customization in BW that i am missing before i load the hierarchies? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Raj

Answer 1

if its a set hierarchy, you can create a datasource in tcode BW07. follow the steps below.
1. Generate the DataSource for FI-SL sets using the BW IMG (Transaction BW07).
2. FI-SL sets are not compounded in OLTP. If you want to extract FI-SL sets for a coumpound characteristic in BW, proceed as follows:
a) Select the 'BW InfoObject (characteristic) is compounded' field and enter a data element (compound information of the meta data).
b) After generating the DataSource, execute compounding in a customer exit. To do this create, a project for the SAP enhancement RSAP0001 in Transaction CMOD, and program EXIT_SAPLRSAP_004 (ZXRSAU04) as described in the attachment.
3. Execute the following steps in BW:
a) Update the meta data for the FI-SL sets in the InfoSource tree.
b) Maintain the transfer structure and transfer rules.
c) If the extracted set hierarchies contain intervals, you must allow intervals in hierarchies for the characteristic in BW. Check the hierarchy properties of the characteristic in Transaction RSD1 and set the "Intervals in hierarchies allowed"
4. With this solution you can only extract sets created in Transaction GS01 (set class 0000).
If the hierarchy list in BW for the set data source is empty, first check in the OLTP system whether set class 0000 contains suitable sets at all. To do this, start Transaction GS02 (not GS03!). Field Set class may be displayed; if this is the case, enter 0000 there. Position the cursor on field Set name and select F4. Enter the table and field name you specified in Transaction BW07 in popup "Select sets" and select "Continue (Enter)". If message GR003 "An appropriate object was not found" is displayed, the hierarchy list in BW is also empty.
5. For CO groups (set class 01xx), the following DataSources are contained in the standard delivery
·     0ABCPROCESS_0107_HIER                    Business process
·     0ACCOUNT_0109_HIER                       Account number
·     0ACTTYPE_0105_HIER                       Activity type
·     0COORDER_0103_HIER                        Order
·     0COSTCENTER_0101_HIER                    Cost center
·     0COSTELMNT_0102_HIER                     Cost element
·     0PROFIT_CTR_0106_HIER                    Profit Center
·     0STKEYFIG_0104_HIER                      Stat. key figure
On principle, sets can also be created for the DDIC fields of these objects in R/3 GS01.
From Release 4.0, this no longer makes sense since the CO groups can then be used anywhere in FI-SL.
With regard to the conversion of sets to CO groups in Release 4.0, please refer to the FI-SL-VSR Release Information for 4.0A and Notes 92029 and 51132.
6. For other set classes, no DataSources are delivered.
