Selection 

Use

You use this function to restrict the scope of data to be collected and to restrict the area in which posting is to be possible.

As in mapping, you use a selection in the following data collection methods:

·        Flexible upload (optional)

·        Load from data stream

·        Copy (optional)

Activities

...

       1.      Define the area in the source InfoProvider, from which data is to be loaded.

To do this, specify the desired characteristics and characteristic values. Single selections can be used for this purpose.

The system attempts to perform an inversion for the status-relevant characteristics. When doing this, the system takes into account the permanent parameters and inversely interprets your mapping rules. This means that it derives the source selection from the mapping rules between the source and the target.

If the automatic inversion does not produce a result or if it is too complicated, too many data records are selected in the BW System. Therefore, at this point you need to restrict the data to be selected in the source selection.

       2.      Define the target area in the data basis, into which data is to be loaded.

You can use a target selection to control which data of a consolidation unit is modified. To do this, you make restrictions to financial statement items and subassignments in the target selection. You also can use single selections.

If you choose Delete All in the settings in update mode, the system deletes the records that already exist in the target area of the data basis before your data is loaded.
