Hi
The best material available on this subject is the Blog written by Roberto.

Anyway to begin with let me try to do give you some preliminary procedure.  As you may be aware that the LO Cockpit consists of many logistics related standard Datasources.
In LO Cockpit, You can maintain and modify the logistics datasources and do  other related activities.
To begin with you Access the LO Cockpit from T-CODE LBWE or from SBIW.
Prior to this Transfer the Logistic Datasource from Business Content ( RSA5)
Step 1 Maintain Extract structure :- The extract structures can be maintained by you or by SAP. From the list of fields that are available in the extract structure you can select the necessary fields or you can opt to enhance the structure with Zfields too. In the later case you need to do write exit to populate the data for the added Zfields.
Step 2 Maintain Datasources :- Here you can maintain the general settings for the datasources like selection fields and so on.
Step 3 Delete the Contents of the Setup table :- The Content of the setup table is used for delta initialization ( T CODE : LBWG)
Step 4 Replicate and Activate the Datasource in BI System and Maintain the Data target, Transformation and the DTP settings.
Step 5 Populate the setup table needs with historical data ( T CODE OLI*BW; where * refers to the identification for specific application say 3 for purchasing, 7 for Sales) or you can maintain the same from SBIW. Ensure that there are no postings done in the respective Application during this step.
Step 6 Create Infopackage and Initializa delta in the Scheduler.
Step 6 Maintain Job Control Parameters and Upload Mode.
Step 7 Now you can schedule your V3 Job.
