Reasons for Posting Free Period in LO Cockpit Data Extraction

Dear Experts,
I am quite new to the concept of LO Cockpit, but I have learnt that we need to stop posting transaction in R/3 during the process of filling up the set up table. I really want the reasons for this, so I can convince my customers.
1) May anyone give me the exact reasons by providing some example cases please?
Some sourcess mentioned that if we don't stop posting documents, there may be duplicated records (in Set Up table and in Delta Queue table). Is this true?
2) May anyone provide me the step of extracting LO Cockpit data please? When the R/3 system should be freezed? When it should be unfreezed? Why do we have to use initialization without data transfer? Please give me the steps in details.
Thank you so much

Hi,
If the users don't stop posting, and at the same time if you are filling up the setup tables, you'll lose the data. Ex if you are filling up setup table for Sales order and if at the same time the user is changing it, its going to take the earlier version or not pick the sales order at all, and thus the changes are lost.
You usually freeze the R3 system when you are ready to fill up the setup tables. Users are locked out of the system so no transaction posting takes place and all batch jobs that update the tables are suspended.
You usually do an init without data transfer so as not to hold up the system as the setup tables might have a lot of records. This reduces the R3 system downtime.
Here's a thread that gives you detailed LO information :

LO Cockpit Data Extraction (2LIS_11_VASTH)

Hi Experts,
Could you please update me on how to proceed with regards LO Cockpit Data Extraction
Datasource: 2LIS_11_VASTH
I activated the Datasource in R/3 and
Activated relevant BW Content.
I performed INITILIZATION that fetched 0 Records to BW
I performed DELTA that fetched 0 Records to BW
I checked in RSA3 (R/3) ....2LIS_11_VASTH extracted 0 Records
I checked the setup table for 2LIS_11_VASTH which showed 0 Records
Please update me in detail on how to perform Delete/Fill setup tables and
Do i need to perform DELTA in BW after filling setup tables in R/3
Please update me in detail.
Thanks

Hi,
Filling of set up tables
Go to transaction SBIW --> Settings for Application Specific Datasource --> Logistics --> Managing extract structures --> Initialization --> Filling the Setup table --> Application specific setup of statistical data --> perform setup (relevant application)
3.In OLI*** (for example OLI7BW for Statistical setup for old documents : Orders) give the name of the run and execute. Now all the available records from R/3 will be loaded to setup tables.
Deletion of set up tables
transaction code LBWG (Delete Setup data) and delete the data by entering the application name.
Delta settings
Go to transaction LBWE and make sure the update mode for the corresponding DataSource is serialized V3 update.
Go to BW system and create infopackage and under the update tab select the initialize delta process. And schedule the package. Now all the data available in the setup tables are now loaded into the data target.
Now for the delta records go to LBWE in R/3 and change the update mode for the corresponding DataSource to Direct/Queue delta. By doing this record will bypass SM13 and directly go to RSA7. Go to transaction code RSA7 there you can see green light # Once the new records are added immediately you can see the record in RSA7.
Go to BW system and create a new infopackage for delta loads. Double click on new infopackage. Under update tab you can see the delta update radio button.
Now you can go to your data target and see the delta record.

No authorization for posting previous period running a repeat depreciation

Hi!
We are working on 4.7 version, during a repeat depreciation posting run using AFAB transaction (RAPOST2000), error messages F5A 094 is issued because the user's account does not has authorization for posting on previous period.
Exact Job Log Error from SM37 transaction:
Period 003 in fiscal year 2008 is open for posting for the variant for posting periods 0020. However, you do not have the required authorization.

There's no reason for secrets (Free Code)

I just wanted to say that I dont think there is anything wrong with copying code. You can learn so much from studying the completed puzzle enabling you to develop you conceptual foot hold in the language your learning and show you techniques in practice rather than in some vague text book abstraction that reveals no practical application that would help a beginner see it's value as a problem solving technique. Like studying a composition of Mozart or Chopin. There is so much to learn from seeing the completed formula and all the modularized mechanics that make up its functionality. I think that people who get hung up on revealing code are hiding their tricks. However, I do realize that some code must be private to serve its marketing agenda. Shool problems though? Come on. Who says you don't learn by looking at the answer? If that were the case, why ever look in a dictionary or any other resource for knowledge. Code is to be shared when it comes to learning. Anything else is just holding out for the sake of a selfish hording of knowledge. There's no reason for secrets.

I'd say 90% of developers agree with that - however,
Not every1 is a developer, other unskilled ppl,
(for the sake of simplicity, i'll call them 'publishers' :P)
exist to exploit the work of others, with the sole aim of maximizing profit.
which do YOU value more, knowledge or wealth?
(hmm - interesting catch 22 there...
to gain knowledge, you need wealth
to generate wealth, you need knowledge ;p)

LO-COCKPIT data extraction

for DataSource= 2LIS_02_ITM
Im getting some difficulties dear.
After Replication, when Assigning Infosource to datasource there few fields for which Transfer Rules are not matching automatically. I found them in the Meta Data Repositery but same problem continues.
It giving error that, the Info Objects are not exists in 2LIS_02_ITM Datasource.
The info objects are,
0INV_RE_IND,
0CT_FLAG,
0GN_R3_SSY.
Please tell me if you know.
Points will b rewarded.
-Harshal

If the infoobjects exists , then the mapping in transfer rules need to be checked. if you need the fields for which it is throwing then try to map with right infoobjects.or if you dont need then you need not map ..and still activate the transfer rules.
Even transfer structure is yellow it shouldnt be a problem , if it is active you should be good to go.

How to post prior period depreciation into the current period

We accidentally missed a depreciation run in a prior month and so cannot move ahead until this is posted. We do not reopen prior periods once the GL is closed. Is there a way to post the prior month's depreciation into the current month? We are on ECC so I understand depreciation no longer posts via SM35. I have seen other posts that discuss similar issues but haven't seen this exact issue. I've been told there is no way to do this, our only option is to reopen the periods. Hoping that is not the case. Thanks.

Hello,
Since the depreciation didn't run in the previous month, the depreciantion of last month and current month to be booked in current period is possible. For example period 06 was the previous month, then in current month depreciation run AFAB > select 'Unplanned posting run' in the 'Reason for posting run' only for current month for e.g. period 07. From next month onwards, select 'Planned posting run' as normal.
Kind regards,
John Chin

Looking for a "free" Date Picker

I'm looking for a free to download and use Date Picker that I can integrate into a small Swing app. Nothing fancy, just a calendar (probably using a JTable) and the ability to select a day of year/month and (possibly) a time of day.
I'm searching google but they're all commercial licenses and I'm simply building this app as a learning process, not for profit.
If there's nothing out there, I'll just stick with my series of combo-boxes :)
Cheers,

Reason for deviation in invoice date and order date

hi all,
i want to know the field and table name for reason for deviation.
suppose the difference in invoice date and order date is 7 days.
how can i find the reason for this difference.
thanks in advance

Dear bala
Obviously there will be a difference between sale order date and billing date in real time scenarios. However, if you want to capture, you have to maintain the relevant text in billing (Goto --> Header --> Header texts).
thanks

If current period is closed, use next period for posting...

Hello Experts,
I am currently developing a report that posts via F-02. Now, my functional said
that if before posting, I need to check if the current period is open.If yes, then
proceed posting. If not, then get the next period and use it for posting.
For example, period 12 is closed, then I need to use period 13. Can you guys help
me in the logic?
Thanks and take care!

Hi,
Check with your FI consultant as which table to use to determine the posting period is closed or not. It is customizing table.

You have entered variable ZFIU004 in data column 2 and provided it with an offset. This results in values arising for variable ZFIU004, which are no longer within the selection, which was defined for the variable.
Can someone please advise me?

Hi,
What is the selection maintained for posting period on the level.
thanks
