PO Modeling help

Question

hello, I have a question about modeling. i need to create a report where users want to see po status by each month. example: PO 12 was open in January 2010 and was closed in Feb. 2010. now when user wants to run the report  for 2 months they want to see PO12 come up twice one for jan and one for feb for jan it should come up as open and closed for feb. and if it reopens then they want to see that too. how do i model this type of data? thanks.

Answer 1

i did a similar thing for notifications. tables and fields are different but the principle is the same:
notification is open as of the month were the createdon date is in, lets call this month ST_MONTH
notification is closed when status 'NOCO' is available and the corresponding 'NOCO' date we'll call E_MONTH.
what we get from R/3 is a list of notifications.
this get's loaded in a first DSO_1.
then we load it in a second DSO_2.
the transformation from DSO_1 to DSO_2 is an expert routine.
data coming from R/3 looks like :
Notif ST_MONTH E_MONTH erdat          noco
  1       062010       082010   20100603  20100815
what we want is
notif  month     open closed
1       062010   X
1       072010   X
1       082010             X
so in the expert routine we made a loop, staring from the month of the ST_MONTH.
we added one line (insert in result package) for this first loop.
then we add one to this month. we check if this month is smaller then E_MONTH (which is sy-datum(6) if there's no noco date.
if it's smaller we insert a new line and add again one to month...and so on till the month is equal to end_month. then we quit the loop and start with the next notif.
output in DSO_2 will be
notif  month      erdat             noco
1       062010   20100603  20100815
1       072010   20100603  20100815
1       082010   20100603  20100815
now we have a transformation from DSO_2 to IC_1.
in the cube we have 2 KF (KF_OPEN, KF_CLOSED)
for the open KF we have a rule :
if month ne noco_date(6). result = 'X' (or 1, depending of how you want to report in the query, we have both)
for the closed KF we have a rule :
if month eq noco_date(6). result = 'X'.
this is how we set it up. this is the simplified version, but in reality it needs some complex abap coding due to all kind of exceptions and so on.
if you have problems with the above let me know.
