Start Routine or Update Rule Routine

Question

Hello Dear Friends
I have a requirement here to create an object lets call it TYPE and i am using another infoobject called movement type.
My requirement in the cube is that TYPE should indicate A if movment type is 123 or 456 and B if movment type is 789.Anything else  other than these numbers dont need to make it in the cube either for Movement type or for TYPE and needs to be deleted.I believe this will be a routine in the Start Routine.If not please let me know.Also if someone can give me the code on how to write the routine will be really appreciated.
Thanks again.

hi,
Go for an Update routine as you do not have the TYPE in the Data source.
if ( comm_structure-momenttype = '123' or
   comm_structure-momenttype = '456' ).
  comm_structure-type = 'A'.
elseif comm_structure-momenttype = '789' .
  comm_structure-type = 'B'.
endif.
Adn in the start routine :
delete data_package where momenttype ne '123' and
                                         momenttype ne '456' and
                                         momenttype ne '789' .
If you can add the type in the data source then  write the below code.
delete data_package where momenttype ne '123' and
                                         momenttype ne '456' and
                                         momenttype ne '789' .
loop at data_package.
if ( data_package-momenttype = '123' or
   data_package-momenttype = '456' ).
  data_package-type = 'A'.
elseif data_package-momenttype = '789' .
  data_package-type = 'B'.
endif.
modify data_package.
endloop.
good luck
