Data Collection for Product Drilldown
Use
To select data for a drilldown report, you must first execute a data collection run. The selected dataset is saved. You access this saved dataset when you execute the report.
Features
You can execute the data collection for one plant or for all plants in a Controlling area.
You can also select the summarization time frame. The values in the summarization time frame are resummarized and any old values are overwritten. Summarized values that are outside of the summarization time frame are retained.
SAP recommends choosing the summarization time frame such that all open periods in Financial Accounting (FI) are summarized.
If you turn on the indicator Delete values outside time period all the data that is not within the selection time frame will be deleted.
Notes on Performance
To reduce runtimes, you can execute the data collection run on multiple servers simultaneously. Ask your system administrator for a server group.
