You use the Repost by Characteristic Relationship function to repost transaction data so that it is consistent with the characteristic relationships. The original records are deleted and reposted to the correct characteristic combinations.
In characteristic usage, you can specify which characteristics are to be corrected. This only makes sense for characteristics that can be derived in accordance with the characteristic relationships.
Note the following condition: A planning function of this type can only be created on an aggregation level that itself has been created directly on a real-time InfoCube (a simple aggregation level, see Aggregation Level). The aggregation level has to include all the InfoObjects of the InfoCube that are valid in aggregation levels.
Since normal use of an InfoCube does not allow you to completely delete combinations of characteristics, that is records, the planning function only resets all the key figures to zero. To fully remove combinations of characteristics from the InfoCube, you must compress the InfoCube in the InfoCube administration (transaction RSA1). You must select the indicator With Zero Elimination.
