Procedure documentationPerforming Setup: SD (SAP ERP)

 

Before performing an initial upload of Sales and Distribution records into BW, you have to run a reconstruction. The reconstruction writes the documents to be initially extracted to a setup table.

Procedure

  1. In your SAP ERP system, call transaction OLI7BW (Perform setup – SD Sales BW: Statistical setup from Old Documents: Orders).

  2. After changing the parameters in Document data restriction (optional) and Control Selection (mandatory), run the reconstruction.

As the setup tables are no longer needed after initialization and initial extraction into SAP BW, you can delete them by running transaction LBWG Delete the Contents of the Setup Tables for Application SD Sales BW “11”, LE Shippping BW “12”, SD Billing BW “13”.

Before performing a new setup, run this transaction.

End of the recommendation.

Note Note

Completing setup tables is a critical action that should be carried out with caution. It might be necessary to lock the system. For large volumes of data, the setup can take longer than one night and might have to be done at the weekend.

End of the note.
