ZCharacterisitic - not populating values

Question

Dear Eugene / Dan,
Pls refer to my earlier thread -
[Z Characteristic - Subassignment]
I gave the requirement as follows to my BI resource:
During the data load - if the 0GL_ACCOUNT is a reconciliation account (i.e. has the 0ACCT_TYPE as K) the relevant vendor numbers must me populated in the Z characteristic from the ODS 0FIAP_O03.
It was found later, after the initial test load that the logic does not work. It is only picking one vendor record for the reconciliation account.
I understood later from the BI developer that there needs to be an unique set of data for retrieval purpose.
Just giving the above logic of account type for a GL account - does not work to retrieve multiple vendor numbers for a reconciliation GL account.
Do you have any ideas on how to achieve this extraction of vendor numbers for a reconciliation GL during the data load?
Many Thanks,
Kumar

Answer 1

Pls find the details:
Logic u2013
Map the zchar to 0GL_Account
During the data load, if the 0GL_Account is a reconciliation account the relevant vendor numbers must be populated in the Z characteristic from the ODS u2013 0FIAP_O03.
Implementation u2013 written the code in the following way
When the data is loading into staging cube it checks the 0GL_ACCOUNT  in the staging cube and the 0GL_ACCOUNT in the ODS - 0FIAP_O03. If both the GL accounts match than it fetches the vendor into the zchar.
(0GL_Account that exists in the ODS ( for FIAP) is the reconciliation account & will be having diff vendors tagged to it)
Issue u2013
When we execute the code only first selected vendor is retrieved. Rest of the vendors are not retrieved. This is because we do not have unique key combinations for fetching the remaining vendors.
So, we need a combination, which could help in fetching all the vendors when the GL account is a reconciliation account for vendors
Request your inputs in achieving this.
Regards,
Kumar
