Inventory management with SnapShots

Hi
I've got this document, "How to handle inventory management scenarios in BW".
It's generally very clear, no problem to understand the standard solution (0IC_C03, non-cumulatives).
But I really didn't understand the explanation about Snapshot on the monthly positions.
So I ask someone to explain how does the concept work.
Example:
The document refers to material movements in 01.2004 and 03.2004.
Question 1:
What are the values posted to the DSO and to the InfoCube after initial load (after the first load of datasources BX and BF/UM) ???
Will we have registers to 01.2004, 02.2004, 03.2004 and 12.9999, both in the DSO and in the InfoCube ?
How does month 12.9999 work?
Question 2:
What are the values posted to the DSO and to the InfoCube after the second BF load?
Let's suppose 2 movements in 04.2004 and 2 movements in 05.2004.
Will we add registers to 04.2004 and 05.2004 both in the DSO and in the Cube?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Cesar,
Not sure if this could be helpful.. but still sharing..
http://www.biportal.org/discussion_forum?mode=MessageList&eid=350671
As even I want to understand differences between 2 methods.. Snapshot and 0IC_C03 (non cumulative)
Could you find any leads?

Inventory Management, New Snapshot Scenario

We are planning to implement the New Snapshot scenario for Inventory Management. This is based on the "How to...." document. As per what is shown in the document, all the 3 extractors feed into the same DSO. However, when I try to create the Update Rules for BX, I get a error that there is no key figure. However, the DSO (Standard) has the Key figures. These are cummulative. Maybe, because of that I get the error when I create update rules for BX. But then, in the document the key figures appear. How is this possible.
Has anyone tried this and has been successful. If so, I'd appreciate if you could send some tips.
Thanks

hello
can you please take a screenshot of your data model and update rules (inside) and send me to (see email in card)
It will really help me!

Inventory Management with u0091Material Document No.u0092 and u0091Purchase order No.'

Hello,
We have defined Inventory Management InfoCube analog to 0IC_C03 without Material Document No. (R3 Field MBLNR) and Purchase order number (R3 Field EBELN). We are loading the data from standard extractor 2LIS_03_BX, 2LIS_03_BF and 2LIS_03_UM. It works fine. We have alreday read the whitepaper Inventory Scenarios in BW.
Question:
Now the Material Document No. and Purchase order number have to report in BEx. As ODS can not be built in Inventory Management, so we cant include these fields in ODS and update data from ODS into another InfoCube with Document No. or order number.
We dont want to include these fields Document No. and Order number. in existing InfoCube because of performance reason.
Could you tell me how we can implement such a scenario?
Thanks for the answer.
Best regards,
Moha

hi Moha,
perhaps check
Note 581778 - ODS capability of extractors from Inventory Management
Note 773823 - P25:ODS objects cannot be loaded with opening stock
hope this helps.

Snapshot Inventory Management with Cummulative key figures

Experts,
We are implementing the snapshot model in parallel with the Daily cube. When trying to create the update rules from 2LIS_03_BX, we get a warning message saying 2lis_03_bx is setup for noncummulatives only followed by an error stating that there are no key figures in the cube.
How do we circumvent this issue?
All thoughts appreciated!

Pls go though below link which will help you to implement snapshot Inventory " How to handle Inventory"

Inventory Mangement with SnapShots

Hi experts,
I've been trying to implement the SnapShot scenario following the How To paper and I'm not able to create the update rules from 2LIS_03_BX to ODS ODSSNAP and the Cube ICSNAP1. I can not see the key figures to implement rhe uodate routines as it's said on the guide. With the cube I'm having the error No key figures exists for the Infocube.
Has been someone in the same situation?? Any ideas of what I'm doing wrong??
Thanks in advance...
regards,
Carlos

The problem is solved!!!
You can not load the opening stocks to the snapshot ODS untill you create a manual entry in RSADMIN table for the ODS as it's said on the prerequisite note 773823.
I was a missunderstood because the note talks about a support package that we allready had implemented....but it seems you have to create the manual entry for the ODS in the table anyway.

Carlos.

Inventory management: non-cumulatives VS. snapshots

In the How to Handle Inventory Management Scenarios in BW, I read that (p. 2):
- Inventory management with non-cumulative key figures is better when "90 percent of all materials were moved 1 time in the month";
- Inventory management with SnapShots is better when "90 percent of all materials were moved 1 time in the month".
I think the second sentence is not correct. But what can be the right number of movements to be considered?
Thanks a lot,
Davide

Hi Ajay,
so my next question is:
Besides the time granularity needed (daily-level vs. monthly-level), is there a threshold for the number of movements, that could be used to choose one of the two models?
I mean, if materials are moved on average e.g. less than 10 times per month, the non-cumulative architecture could be best one. While if there are more than 10 times per month, the snapshot architecture could be more appealing. In this example, 10 movements per month is the threshold.
Cheers, Davide

Hi Loic
Can u please see if all the steps listed below are OK.
While setting up the IM Scenario
I have jotted down the steps with valuable inputs from you and paper 'How to Hanlde IM scenarios'
Please find the steps below. Kindly review them and let me know in case I have got anything wrong or missed out on anything.
1. Transfer Business Content Datasources 2LIS_03_BX , 2LIS_03_BF, AND 2LIS_03_UM in RSA5.
2. Go to Transaction LBWE, Activate Datasources 2LIS_03_BF, AND 2LIS_03_UM.
3. Go to Transaction MCB_ select SAP BW usage 'Standard' Radio button.
4. Save it.
5. Go to Transaction MCNB, enter name of run Stock_init. Enter Termination date in future. Enter Datasource as 2LIS_03_BX.
6. Execute the initialisation.
7. Entries can be found in SETUP Table MC03BFSETUP & MC03BFSETUP.
8. Run SETUP for 2LIS_03_BF, AND 2LIS_03_UM using TCodes OLI1BW and OLIZBW respectively.
9. Run the extraction for 2LIS_03_BX in BW.
10. Compress the request with No Marker Update NOT SET i.e. unticked or unchecked.
11. Run the extraction for 2LIS_03_BF in BW.
12. Compress the request with No Marker Update SET i.e. ticked or checked.
13. Run the extraction for 2LIS_03_UM in BW.
14. Compress the request with No Marker Update SET i.e. ticked or checked.
Steps 1 and 2 shall be executed in Development and transported to production and step 3 onward should be carried out in Production itself with Posting Block.
Thanks in advance.

Snapshot scenario or non cumulative key figure in inventory management

Hi
We are currently using Inventory Management with non-cumulative key figures but we get very high performance problems due to so big number of lines in info cube.
We are analyzing the other scenario with snapshot and I am asking if it would be very realistic to use it to satisfy our requirement: to be able to get inventory management at day level for about 2 000 000 combinations article-site and about 100 000 stock movement lines per day (we are retailer!).
Is there somebody to give me advice about it?
Tanks a lot
Anne

Being a non-cumulative KF, total stock is automatically takes care of that.
Try putting all the restrictions which you have included for total receipts and total issues, for eg, restrict Total Stock with the movement types used in Receipts as well as Issues.
Check and revert.

Regarding update rules activation in inventory management(2LIS_03_BF)

Hellow gurus,
i am working on inventory management with snap shot scenario for that we are using 3 business content datasources they are (2LIS_03_BX, 2LIS_03_BF, 2LIS_03_UM), now i want to activate the update rules for infosource(2LIS_03_BF) & cube, when i check the update rules it shows every thing is ok, but not activating ,please could you give me the suggestions
Regards,
Chandra.

bf setuptable filling based on posting date
give the posting date and give the name of job run
give the termination date and time
execute in background.you you can start the more jobs
depending on your data.you have bulk data you can divide the
jobs in based on posting date.
after that check the status in sm37.

Inventory management snapshot model using Datamart Interface

Hi,
We have implemented Inventory management NON-CUMULATIVE scenario.
Now for reporting needs we are adding snapshot model and trying to use datamart interface to fill up snapshot cube.
But how to get value of KF say "ZTOTALST" becuase NON-*** cube has only changes stored as "0RECTOTSTCK" and "0ISSTOTSTK". If anyone has implemented or has any ideas on using snapshot model with datamart interface , please help .

Inventory Management - Snapshot Scenario

Hi,
We are implementing the Snapshot scenario for inventory management based on the "How to Handle Inventory Management Scenarios in BW" and am facing the problem on the point 51 in the document.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f83be790-0201-0010-4fb0-98bd7c01e328
"51. Create a start routine to multiplicate the old row with minus 1, set the record mode to R Reverse-Image and create a new row with the month 12.9999, if the ...."
the logic seems to be incomplete. Has anyone implemented this scenario. Please let me know what is the missing piece.
Thanks
RK

I am only in design phase. I have post this message because the How to guide is old and I would know if someone have find a new solution ( with less step to reduce development phase).
As not recent solution is provided, I use the how to guide and adapt because I have more indicator to implement in my solution.

Loading to Inventory Management Snapshot ODS and Cube

I am trying to develop an Inventory data model and have already created and loaded to the Inventory Management (0IC_C03) cube.
I have now created a Snap Shot ODS and Snap Shot cube, is there a way that I can load to these objects without having to do a re-init? Thanks

Hello Niten,
There is no need to do re-init, you can load the data into non-cumulative and snapshot targets in parallel. Through sam infopackage with which you are loading to 0IC_C03, load to snapshot targets also.

Will MIM (Merchandize and inventory management) work with SAP AFS / SAP POS

We are implementing SAP AFS ERP at the head office and SAP POS at the retail stores.
We want to implement the MIM module for inventory management at retail store level. Does MIM work in conjunction with SAP AFS. A consultant was suggesting that MIM works only with SAP Retail and no other vertical SAP solution.
Can someone please clarify?
Regards
paddy

MIM is linked to IS Retail, not to AFS.
Nevertheless, you can always link and AFS and a Retail system. SAP provides a very convincing ALE scheme for this.

Extend Inventory Management (0IC_C03) with new field MSEG-INSMK

Dear Experts, We are using Business Content InfoCube "Material stocks/movements" (0IC_C03) in Area "Inventory Controlling/Inventory Management" in BW. We are using following Business Content DataSources: Stock Initialization for Inventory Management 2LIS_03_BX Goods Movements From Inventory Management 2LIS_03_BF Revaluations 2LIS_03_UM Everything works fine with delta load till now. Now we have a new requirement so that we have to fill additionally the R/3-Field MSEG-INSMK in existing Inventory Management InfoCube (0IC_C03). The Business Content DataSource (2LIS_03_BX/BF/UM) doesn't provide R/3-Field MSEG-INSMK and I don't find any other Datasource for the R/3-Field MSEG-INSMK ("Document Segment: Material" - Stock Type). How can we extend the InfoCube 0IC_C03 with the R/3-Field MSEG-INSMK? Should I define a new Generic Datasource based on the table MSEG to extract the field INSMK. The table MSEG is very large. What would be Delta-Specific Field for Generic Delta? I would load the data from generic DataSource into a new DSO. And I can read the field MSEG-INSMK per Look-Up from the DSO in the transformation to the InfoCube 0IC_C03. Is this the solution? Many Thanks Moha

2LIS_03_BX cannot be enhanced. There is an SAP note that says enhancing this Datasource is not supported.
2LIS_03_BF can be enhanced though, and the process is just like enhancing any other LO Datasource.
So you can include the new field in the cube, enhance BF and load to the cube. With this, you will be able to report the INSMK field on the goods movements. But as INSMK is not present in BX, you will not be able to report the INSMK field on stock position reports.
