Hi,

Let assume that the request what u uploaded to InfoCube is wrong data and u r planning to delete the complete request. But it is already compressed. So it is not possible to delete that request. In that situations we will go with Reverse Request Posting. The RRP will uploads a new request with the respective request( which request u r going to post reverse) data and in that request all the keyfigure values are maintained as -ve's.

So in this way we will delete the complete request data using RRP when the requests are compressed.

EG:

Req1 -

---

> C1 M1 100 2000

Req2 -

---

> C1 M1 -100 -2000 (RRP of Req1)

Thanks & Regards

Hi,

If u do reverse posting of a request all the signs of the key figures are reversed. All

additivie key figures will be substracted and vice versa.But this will be posted

as a seperate request. That means reverse posting are also documented in the system.

they r not like undone or delted.

Say for example u had posted one record in to the cube.All the key figures r updated (some are added and some r substracted). but u want to revert it back.so what u can do is if your data is present in the PSA. u can reverse post that request so that all the signs of the key figures are reversed( i.e addition becomes minus and minus key figures becomes additive) so that the net

key figure change is nullufied. i.t total change is Zero

in this way u can reverse posting can be done

Hope it helps
