Navigational Attributes as Selection Criteria in Infopackage?

Question

Is it possible to use navigational attributes as selection criteria in the infopackage?  I have the MRP cube that only does full loads.  I would like to ONLY load the material type FERT (finished goods).  0MATERIAL has 0MATL_TYPE as a navigational attribute.  I would like to put 0MATL_TYPE in the selection criteria in the infopackage.
If this is possible, please let me know.  The only other way I have come up to do this is to load in one cube and then use and APD to load into another cube.  I would like to avoid this if possible. 
Thanks,
Brent

Hi there,
you can try this:
create a routine in 0material infoobject.
And put this code in the routine after the part where this appears:
*       Insert source code to current selection field
*$*$ begin of routine - insert your code only below this line        *-*
data: l_idx like sy-tabix.
read table l_t_range with key
     fieldname = 'MATNR'.
l_idx = sy-tabix.
after the *.... delete all the code there and insert this one:
  data: i_table like /BI0/PMATERIAL occurs 0 with header line.
  data: t_range TYPE rssdlrange.
select * from /BI0/PMATERIAL INTO TABLE i_table
  WHERE OBJVERS = 'A' and MATL_TYPE = 'FERT'.
  clear t_range.
  t_range-IOBJNM = '0MATERIAL'.
  t_range-FIELDNAME = 'MATNR'.
  t_range-SIGN = 'I'.
  t_range-OPTION = 'EQ'.
  LOOP at i_table.
    t_range-LOW = i_table-MATERIAL.
    APPEND t_range to l_t_range.
  endloop.
p_subrc = 0.
Save it and execute the InfoPackage. It might take a while to execute the infopackage.
