Concept of Snapshot method in inventory

[Former Member]

Can anyone please help me understanding the concept of Snapshot inventory loading in BW??

What is the technique used on a broad level??

I tried to read how to inventory pdf but, im not easily getting the essense of it.In that doc, market update method is a bit clearly explained.But for Snapshot, it was just told to follow some steps (process1,2,3,4,5 etc).

Can anyone please explain the concept? i will give him accordingly if i really understand.

Shambu,

I wanted the technique used in BW.

I can understand what is meant by snapshot but, i wanted the process logic using ODS,cube which is done in BW under the name "Snapshot method to handle inventory technique"

The link u have provided just gives the business meaning of snapshot.
