Definition

Current Behavior

DataSoure 2LIS_11_V_SCL (Sales-Shipping Allocation Schedule Line) maps to schedule line allocation extract structure MC11V_0SCL (Extraction SD Sales BW: Allocation Schedule Line).

This extract structure MC11V_0SCL collects the allocation changes at schedule line 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 schedule line.
  • Upon deletion of a sales item schedule line, 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, the respective schedule line delta files are written to the delta queue with delta method ADD instead of ABR. In other words, only one image with additive values.

This combination of delta methods ABR and ADD causes confusion and impedes query development. Especially in a BWA (Business 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 you delete a sales item schedule line.
  • for the dependent schedule line delta files when you create a referenced delivery item.
  • for the dependent schedule line delta files when you delete 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 create or delete a delivery item for the dependent schedule lines, the system longer writes an ADD file to the delta queue, but two ABR files:
    • a before-image
    • an after-image file
  • When you delete a sales item or a sales item schedule line, the cancellation indicator of the delta file is no longer set to U (for ADD), but to R (for ABR).
