Hi Suneel,
The process keys basically represent the type of transaction which has happened in the source system.
If you notice the update rules for the Purchasing cubes like 0PUR_C01, etc. You will see some routines like this:
IF COMM_STRUCTURE-PROCESSKEY = `001`.
              RESULT = COMM_STRUCTURE-TRANS_AMOUNT.
           ELSE.
              CLEAR RESULT. “no update of key-figure
     ENDIF.
<b>This means that if the process key determines which KF should be populated for the same in the Cube.</b>
Some of the common process keys for Purchasing are:
Event MA (purchase order) and purchase order category 1 yield process key 001.
Event MA (purchase order) and purchase order category 2 yield process key 011.
Event MA (purchase order) and purchase order category 3 yield process key 021.
Event MB (goods receipt) and purchase order category 1 yield process key 002.
Event MB (goods receipt) and purchase order category 2 yield process key 012.
Event MB (goods receipt) and purchase order category 3 yield process key 022.
Event MC (invoice receipt) and purchase order category 1 yield process key 003.
Event MC (invoice receipt) and purchase order category 3 yield process key 023.
Event MD (scheduling agreement) and purchase order category 1 yield process key 004.
Event MD (scheduling agreement) and purchase order category 2 yield process key 014.
Event MD (scheduling agreement) and purchase order category 3 yield process key 024.
Event ME (contracts) and purchase order category 1 yield process key 008.
Event ME (contracts) and purchase order category 2 yield process key 028.
Event ME (contracts) and purchase order category 3 yield process key 028.
You can find more information if you search across the forum.
Thanks,
