Questions on adding z fields to the standard extractor, Please reply !!!

Question

We have 0material, 0customer in our daily process chains where we do full loads daily, now we need to make that delta loads so that we can reduce the time of the execution of the pc. I know that these extractors can be delta enables but the problem is we have a few z fields for these extractors, like 20 fields for 0material and 3 fields for 0customer and currently we are doing full loads for these 2 infobjects. I want to know if these can be delta enabled so that zfields will be delta enabled. I mean in short if we make these delta enabled, will the z fields will come along with the standard fields since we are adding the z fields to the standard tables. Do we need to handle the code separately or is their any complicated code written along with it in the CMOD or just adding the zfields will bring the delta to BI. Please provide some links or any information on this regard. Please let me know if you need any other information. Thanks in advance.

Hi Daniel,
Deltas would be extracted based on some specific fields such as timestamp, dates or some kind of numeric pointer.
In your case, lets say if you have some date field for eg. Changed on in your table on which delta would be picked up then that delta should also fetch up changes related with address.
If this address field is directly present into your main talbe then changes would be directly picked up without any need of logic because table containing changed on date <your delta relevant field> also contains this address field.
But if this address is coming up from some other table then some sort of logic should be written to populate the changes in address field with respect to that "changed on" date field.
