SPM data extraction question: invoice data

The documentation on data extraction (Master Data for Spend Performance Management) specifies that Invoice transactions are extracted from the table BSEG (General Ledger) . On the project I'm currently working the SAP ERP team is quite worried to run queries on BSEG as it is massive.
However extract files are called BSIK and BSAK of; which seems to suggest that the invoices are in reality extracted from those accounts payable tables.
Can someone clarify the tables really used, and if it's the BSIK/BSAK tables what fields are mapped?

Hi Jan,
Few additional mitigation thoughts which may help on the way as same concerns came up during our project .
1) Sandbox Stress testing
If available u2013 take advantage of an ECC Sandbox environment for extractor prototyping and performance impact analysis. BSEG can be huge (contains all financial movements), so e.g. BI folks typically do not fancy a re-init load for reasons outlined above. Ask basis to copy a full year of all relevant transactional data (normally FI & PO data) onto the sandbox and then run the SPM extractors for a full year extraction to get an idea about extraction system impact.
Even though system sizing and parameters may differ compared to your P-box you still should get a reasonable idea and direction about system impact.
2) In a second step you may then consider to break down the data extraction (Init/Full mode for your project) into 12 monthly extracts for the full year (this gives you 12 files from which you Init your SPM system with) with significant less system impact and more control (e.g. can be scheduled over night).
3) Business Scenario
You may consider to use the Vendor related movements in BSAK/BSIK instead the massive BSEG cluster table as starting tables (and fetch/lookup BSEG details only on a need base) for the extraction process (Index advantages were outlined above already).
Considering this we managed to extract Invoice data with reasonable source system impact.

If free upgrade is available to those who purchase after 6 June 11, Purchase should mean the order date or the invoice date or the delivery date?

Apple usually has gone by the invoice date, which is the date Apple usually considers to be the "purchase date" for warranty and other programs, but precise details for the Mac OS X 10.7 Up-To-Date program have not yet been released, so that may differ. We'll have to wait until they open the program to know for sure.

Billing date and excise invoice date - indai scenario

Hai can any one help me in the following query
we need the excise invoice while creating should check the billing date ( vf03( vbrk-fkdat) and excise invoice date ( EXDAT- J_1IEXCHDR) should be same
pls propose which user exit do this
kumaraswamy

Hi,
Can you please let us know why the system has to check the billing date while cretion of excise invoice.
In Indian scenario, When you do PGI, that moment itself you raise an excise invoice( This is excise rule). In that case why the billing date and excise invoice date should be same?

Classification data extraction questions

Hai All,
I have few questions regarding the classification data extraction from R/3 to BW.
Does anybody know if I can do the following(classification data sources in CTBW):
1. Extraction of Characters that permit multiple value valuations
2. Extraction of characters intended for intervals
3. I know that only FULL update is supported for classification data as of BW 2x. Does anybody know if deltas are supported in any of the new versions upto BI 7.0?
I appreciate if any body can answer these questions or refer to documentation or SAP notes.
Thank you very much.

hi,
please take a look
1. oss note 604412
Symptom
The selection after the key field during the extraction of the classification data from the class type that permits several objects (MULTOBJ = .X in table TCLA) does not work. The selection only works in such a case if an object number (CUOBJ from table INOB) is entered as a selection criterion.
Other terms
OBJEK, CTBW, RSA3, extractor checker
Reason and Prerequisites
This is caused by a program error.
Solution
Implement the source code corrections.
3. delta should be supported since 'old' version, see 'old' oss note 323412-Create change pointers for BW
(other notes for delta problem 410741, 413130)
DataSources, Symptom
You must implement this correction if you also want to use the DataSources of the classification, that are created using Transaction CTBW, for delta uploads.
Additional key words
CTBW_BW_CHANGE_POINTERS, ALE
Cause and prerequisites
Making DataSources delta compatable for the BW.
Solution
Program enhancement in update of the classification.

Master Data Extraction-Questions

Hi guys,
I was referring SAP materials on Master Data Extraction...then I read something like...
"In Master Data Datasources,some support delta and some donot.Out of those that support delta mechanism,some use DELTA QUEUE.Some donot use DELTA QUEUE functionality and it is generally incase of small volumes of Data.Then there are some other datasources which uses ALE CHANGE POINTERS for delta mechanism."
1.Can anyone explain how can one do delta in case of small volumes of data without using DELTA QUEUE functionality?Whats the need to go for it when we have DELTA FUNCTIONALITY?
2.How to do delta using ALE Change Pointers?Whats the need to gofor this when we have DELTA QUEUE functionality?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Schand

Hi Des,
I think you are explaining the difference between "Delta Update" and "Delta Queue".I am well aware of these two things.
DELTA QUEUE---its a temporary storage for delta records in R3 system before they are loaded successfully into BI.
DELTA UPDATE---its type of delta update of delta records from R/3 system to BI system.
My QUESTION is:
In both MasterData Datasources and Transaction Data datasources,some support delta and some donot.Usually delta records will be stored in DELTA QUEUE in ECC before uploading them into BI.But some MASTER DATA DATAOURCES,donot use DELTA QUEUE to store delta records in ECC before uploading them into BI and they do this in case of small volumes of data.then Do any of you know,how do they do if they are not using DELTA QUEUE?
Second one,SAP materials mentioned,some other datasources use ALE change pointers to determine delta.In this case also,they donot use DELTA QUEUE to store delta records before uploading into BI.What are ALE change pointers?How do we make settings for this?
Hope I explained better.

Setting a secure zone expiry date beyond the invoice date.

Is it possible to set the secure zone expiry date later than the invoice date? We're just looking at a way to let our members continue to have access for say 1 week after an invoice has failed so that they can log in and update their credit card details, possibly without seeing the 'access expired' message.
I've seen this behaviour on a site before, but I think that may have had something to do with the fact that it was a weekly membership site and that the invoices were already generated.
Cheers
Pat

Hey Gaurav,
This is for a monthly recurring subscription. What I was thinking was that if for example a user signed up on the 1st of the month that their SZ access expires on the 8th of the next month, but the invoice is still issued and paid on the 1st of the following month, and when the invoice is successfully paid the SZ access gets extended till the 8th of the next month - now that I've written it out like that I'm pretty sure this isn't possible, unless there is some setting that dev can see in the backend?

Data extraction through generic data source

Hi sap-BI experts,
i created the infoset query by using these transactions
SQ01,
SQ02,
SQ03 and the tables used are EKKO,EKPO and MARA.
and when i wanted to extract data from generic data source through infoset query
i am getting an error like this
'' specified table doesnot exist".
can i get the answer
Thanks,

Hi,
Do u selecting your info set under extraction from SAP query (Tcode - RSO2)? Make sure your infoset query active & available for reporting.

Data Extraction from Multiple data sources into a single Infoprovider

Hi Experts,
Can anyone send me links or examples on how to extract data from multiple data sources into 1 Cube/DSO.
Can anyone send me example scenarios for extracting data from 2 data sources into a single Cube/DSO.
Thanks
Kumar

Hi Ashok,
Check the following link from SAP help. Ths is probably what you are looking for.
[ Multiple data sources into single infoprovider|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/e3/e60138fede083de10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm]
Data from multiple data sources which are logically related and technicall have the same key can be combined into single record.
For example, if you have Sales order item and sales order item status .
These both have the same key - sales order and item and are logically related.
The Sales order item - provides information on Sales order item - material , price, quantity, plant etc.
The item status - povides information on delivery status, billing status, rejection status....
These are two different data sources 2LIS_!1_VAITM ad 2LIS_11_VASTI.
In case you have few master data attributes coming from different systems ie tow data sources in different systems say completely defines your master data. Then you could use a DSO or infoobject to combine the records.
If you want to see aggregated data you use a cube.
ie say you want to analyzae the customer revenue on a particular material and a particular project.
The project details would come from Project syatem and Sales details fom sales flow.
The data is then combined in the DSO with key cutomer and sales area say.
Then it is aggregated at cube level...by not using sales order in the cube model...so all sales order of the same customer would add while loading the cube.. to give direct customer spend values for your sales area at aggregated level.
Hope this helps,
Best regards,
Sunmit.

Data extraction from transctional data source

Hi all,
In bw 3.5 I am fetching data from r3 , vendor evolution(2LIS_02_S013) is name of that data source it is transaction type data source at that time data source(2LIS_02_S013) successfully replicate in bw
after it i make infoarea and its charactics and attribute and then create application component and create infosource but when i assign that data source to my infosource it can't show in pop-up or say i am unable to assign it
can anybody tel me why i am unable to assign transactional data source to my infosource

Ok what does it say when you try to assign InfoSource? Can you tell me more.
In the InfoSource Just on top of Transfer Structure there should be Assign DS Button click on this and assign DataSource or else Right Click on the DS and Assign InfoSource.(If you have IS created)

Issue with Data Extraction for Master data

Hi All,
I have requriment to enhance standard Datasource(0VENDOR_ATTR) to populate certain fields from table LFBK.
I have enhanced the datasource and the i am able to pull the data in ECC via RSA3.
After that i have replicated the Datasource in BI and have activated the Datasource and the enhanced fields are available in BI datasources and have created the transformation between Datasource and 0VENDOR.
when i run the infopackage, the new enhanced fields are not getting populated. I really wonder how the data is not coming to BI, when its is getting populated in RSA3 in ECC.
Request to give your solution to solve this issue.
Regards,
Gowrisankar

Hello Gowrisankar N K ,
After making changes to your 0VENDOR_ATTR DS, make sure that you had replicate DS at BI side.
if not then please first Replicate the DS & check the newly enhanced field is available in PSA.

Data Extraction or IDOC to flat file

hi,
I have a project to create a flat file from SAP, for an external legacy system. There are 3 requirement.
What approach should I take. Simple data extraction OR Idoc to flat file.
There are 4 requirements:
1. first time extract all data.
2. on subsequent run, extract only changed & new records
3. if in SAP table, a record is deleted, then marked deleted in flat file.
What approach should I take if I use data extraction.
Thanks.

I read your question, my first thought would be to look at where the data is going?
What are the data requirements of the legacy system. IDOCs can speed up the development related to pushing the data out from SAP. Using ALE and change pointers you can automatically pass out the delta with a limited amount of development.
However, the receiving system then needs to parse the IDOC data. depending on the IDOC you are working with this can be a challenge especially if the legacy developer doesn't get IDOCs.
Sometimes its easier to collect and write the data from SAP using "simple data extraction". The data is more readily organized into a format the receiving system is expecting.
You can also pass the idoc to a middleware maping application if one is available and do the SAP to legacy mapping there.

Use of Catalog data Extract concurrent programs

Hi All,
1. What is the use of Catalog Data Extract - Classifications, Catalog Data Extract - Items Concurrent Programs in Purchasing?
2. To load the items from inventory to iprocurement whether the above two concurrents are must?
Kindly help me in giving a clear idea about it.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Simbu...

Hi Simbu,
The mentioned program works only in 11i, as R12 follows different mechanism.
Yes, to load the items and categories to iProcurement mentioned programs are must in 11i.
Need to make sure, item got a list price in the purchasing tab and purchasing category is published to iProcurement.
You should run Catalog Data Extract - Classifications prior to running Catalog Data Extract - Items program.
Thanks,
PS.

Data Mart and Data Extraction from an Infocube

Can a data mart which is built on one Infocube in BW support delta extraction? We have two separate BW systems and are trying to extract data from one Infocube in one BW (Source) and load it to one Infocube in another BW(Target)?
We have built a data mart on the source BW infocube and have successfully been able to extract and load the initial data load into the target BW infocube. I noticed that the field 0RECORDMODE was not on the datasource that was created to support this data mart so my gut feeling is that we will not be able to do delta data extractions from this data mart. Any feedback or confirmation of this?

Hi,
The InfoCube that is used as an export-DataSource is first initialized , meaning that the current status is transferred into the target BW. When the next upload comes around only those requests will then be transferred that have come in since the time of initialization. Different target systems can also be supplied like this
Since it is request based ..data mart on info cube supports delta.
Hope its helpful,
Anu.

Billing plan date should be same as invoice date as per factory calendar

Hi,
We have two contracts, one is having billing plan material and another is having no billing plan material of same customer.When we go for the billing, as because these having all the header fields same it should give one single invoice of those two contracts,but its giving two invoices means the invoice splits.I check it and found, due to different billing date the invoice splits.If we go for VF04 we can force the billing date as same,but they are is a one batch running for this invoice.My invoice date of two contracts is 22.06.2014 which is factory calendar date and billing plan date is 26.06.2014 which is contract start date.My client is asking that can we get billing plan date same as invoice date as per factory calendar in standard to get single invoice? Kindly suggest me where is the settings.
Thanks in Advance
Regards,
Braja

Braja,
Check this
Goto the billing plan tab in the corresponding line item and check the rule that is determined. Now go to the configuration of this rule table by using the path
SPRO>SD> Billing> Billing Plan> Define rules for determining dates and choose your Applicable rule and click on the details.
There you will see the Calendar ID field where you will have to maintain the applicable factory calendar. I think this should work and your billing date on the item relevant for billing plan should be the same as the other item.
Hope this helps,
Ravin
