Features

This business function enables archiving (in the legacy system) in compliance with ILM and the querying of product liability-relevant data in the Retention Warehouse system.

In a decommissioned ERP system, the activation of this business function results in the assignment of production-related archiving objects to the audit area Product Liability. In the Retention Warehouse system, the activation of the business function enables you to convert the archive files transferred from a legacy system that is to be decommissioned in an ILM-compliant manner. Only ILM-compliant data is available for evaluations in the audit area.

The Retention Warehouse content delivered for the product liability topic provides a basis that enables you to display data from a decommissioned SAP ERP system in SAP NetWeaver BW in case of a product liability issue. You can enhance this content as required.

When you activate the business function and the BW InfoAreas, you receive the following objects:

  • The Product Liability (PRODLIABIL) audit area with entries for ILM objects and structures (set to active)

  • The Product Liability (PRODLIAB_PAT_1) audit package template with entries for structures and views (set to active)

  • By activating the InfoAreas: InfoObjects, VirtualProviders, queries and report-report interfaces

To be able to display your data in SAP NetWeaver BW, you create an audit package for product liability to which you assign the audit package template we provide. Based on the audit package, you then generate additional objects in SAP NetWeaver BW that you need for displaying the data.

If you want to add to the content provided, then modify the provided audit area and audit package template as needed.
