Definition

Current Behavior

DataSource 2LIS_11_V_ITM ( Sales-Shipping Allocation Item Data) maps to the allocation extract structure MC11V_0ITM (Extraction SD Sales BW: Document Item Allocation).

This extract structure MC11V_0ITM collects the allocation changes at item level in the sales document and associated delivery document(s). In other words, only delivery items with reference to a sales item are relevant. In the following we use the expression referenced delivery item.

Sales Document

  • The delta files from sales document items are written with delta method ABR, in other words with a before-image and an after-image. This is the case if we create or change a sales item.
  • Upon deletion of a sales item, the cancellation indicator of the delta file is set to U, which implies delta method ADD and an image with additive values.

Delivery Document

  • For the delivery document, the delta method ABR only applies if a referenced delivery item is being changed.
  • If a referenced delivery item is being created or deleted, its delta file is written to the delta queue with delta method ADD instead of ABR, in other words there is only one image with additive values.

This combination of delta methods ABR and ADD causes confusion and impedes query development. Especially in a BWA (Buniness Warehouse Accelerator) environment when the system writes indexes within the Enterprise Search Connector, the delta method ADD might not generate the desired result.

Conclusion

The system replaces delta method ADD with ABR

  • when deleting a sales item.
  • when creating a referenced delivery item.
  • when deleting a referenced delivery item.

What To Do

  • If you change the delta file logic as described above, take into account and analyze potential negative side effects on existing queries, delta queues, and so on.
  • If you want to use the ABR delta method for the entire set of delta files for this extract structure, switch on this indicator.

Impact

As soon as you have switched on this indicator, all delta files for this extract structure are written with delta method ABR.

  • When you delete a sales item, the cancellation indicator of the delta file is no longer set to U (for ADD), but R (for ABR).
  • When you create or delete a delivery item, the system no longer writes an ADD file to the delta queue, but two ABR files:
    • a before-image
    • an after-image file

      When you create, change or delete a delivery for a material subject to a batch management requirement, the system does not write any records (delta files) for the batches.
      If you want to receive information about batches, such as the delivered quantity and the delivery value, use DataSource 2LIS_12_VCITM (Delivery Item Data), extract structure MC12VC0ITM. To do this, adjust your BI content accordingly.
