Function module generic datasource can always be used.

Infact this is the suggested method for generic datasource.

It can replace even table and views but sometimes its easier to use table or view than writing function module code.

One more thing is that you can debug why particular data is not getting populated if you use function module as you can debug.

Hope this helps.

Hi

To use FM for generic data source you have to design a functon Module for Generic Data Source using Function Module Template(RSAX_BIW_GET_DATA_SIMPLE).

Hi Rob,

Generic datasource with Function module is useful when we are extracting data from Cluster tables and more than 3 tables with lots of conditions and validations.

Please check: [SAP BI Generic Extraction Using a Function Module|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a0f46157-e1c4-2910-27aa-e3f4a9c8df33]
