Definition
InfoProvider for distribution.
Use
Choose an InfoProvider that contains the reference data by which transaction line items shall be distributed to sites.
The InfoProvider must be a standard InfoCube or a MultiProvider.
Dependencies
There is a list of characteristics which directly, or indirectly, need to be part of the InfoProvider you choose. A characteristic indirectly being part of the InfoProvider means that it is either a reference characteristic of another characteristic which is part of the InfoProvider, or that it is the attribute name of a navigational attribute which is part of the InfoProvider. The following is a list of required characteristics:
- 0PLANT (plant)
- 0COMP_CODE (company code)
- 0SALESORG (sales organization)
- 0DISTR_CHAN (distribution channel)
- 0MATNR (material), unless distribution type 1 (RMA) is set in the billing type, and you have made the setting for preaggregating the selection of reference data to the RMA object level.
- 0VENDOR (vendor), if you have enabled the setting for taking the vendor into account for the selection of reference data
- 0PURCH_ORG (purchasing organization), if you have enabled the setting for taking the purchasing organization into account for the selection of reference data
- 0PUR_GROUP (purchasing group), if you have enabled the setting for taking the purchasing group into account for the selection of reference data
- 0RT_VENDP (vendor sub-range), if you have enabled the setting for taking the vendor sub-range into account for the selection of reference data
The following time characteristics must be part of the InfoProvider:
- 0FISCPER (fiscal year period), if you chose the current or previous fiscal year period as a basis of the selection of cumulative reference data
- 0FISCYEAR (fiscal year), if you chose the previous fiscal year as a basis of the selection of cumulative reference data
- If you chose a non-cumulative InfoCube as an InfoProvider, one of the following three time characteristics must be in the validity table of the InfoCube:
- 0CALDAY (calendar day)
- 0FISCPER (fiscal year period)
- 0FISCYEAR (fiscal year)
If a non-cumulative key figure (for example, current inventory) is chosen as a reference key figure for distribution, this must be of one of the following two types:
- Non-cumulative value with receipt and issue key figure. In this case the InfoCube with that key figure must be entered directly, not a MultiProvider which just contains that InfoCube.
- Cumulative value with exception aggregation LAS (last value), and exception aggregation characteristic 0FISCPER (posting period).
If distribution type 1(RMA) is set in the billing type, the characteristics which correspond to the different levels of the RMA object hierarchy must be part of the InfoProvider.
- If the article hierarchy is chosen as an object model, below are the following ones:
- 0CM_MCATDIV (Industry)
- 0CM_CDT1 (Category)
- 0CM_CDT2 (Sub-category)
- 0CM_CDT3 (Segment)
- If the merchandise category hierarchy is chosen as an object model, below are the following ones:
- 0MATL_GROUP (Merchandise category)
- 0RPA_WGH1 (Merchandise category hierarchy level 1)
- 0RPA_WGH2 (Merchandise category hierarchy level 2)
- 0RPA_WGH3 (Merchandise category hierarchy level 3)
- 0RPA_WGH4 (Merchandise category hierarchy level 4)
Example
The following InfoProviders in standard BW content can be chosen for RMA:
- 0RMA_MP01 (both non-cumulative and cumulative key figures, aggregated by RMA valuation level of either article hierarchy or merchandise category hierarchy)
- 0RSL_C01 (non-cumulative key figures, detailed at material level, merchandise category hierarchy)
- 0RSL_C02 (cumulative key figures, detailed at material level, merchandise category hierarchy)
MultiProvider 0RMA_MP01 indirectly contains the following characteristics:
- 0PLANT (as reference characteristic of 0RT_LOCATIO)
- 0COMP_CODE, 0SALESORG, 0DISTR_CHAN (as navigational attributes of 0RT_LOCATIO)
