Inventory management with SnapShots

[Former Member]

Hi

I've got this document, "How to handle inventory management scenarios in BW".

It's generally very clear, no problem to understand the standard solution (0IC_C03, non-cumulatives).

But I really didn't understand the explanation about Snapshot on the monthly positions.

So I ask someone to explain how does the concept work.

Example:

The document refers to material movements in 01.2004 and 03.2004.

Question 1:

What are the values posted to the DSO and to the InfoCube after initial load (after the first load of datasources BX and BF/UM) ???

Will we have registers to 01.2004, 02.2004, 03.2004 and 12.9999, both in the DSO and in the InfoCube ?

How does month 12.9999 work?

Question 2:

What are the values posted to the DSO and to the InfoCube after the second BF load?

Let's suppose 2 movements in 04.2004 and 2 movements in 05.2004.

Will we add registers to 04.2004 and 05.2004 both in the DSO and in the Cube?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Cesar,

Not sure if this could be helpful.. but still sharing..

As even I want to understand differences between 2 methods.. Snapshot and 0IC_C03 (non cumulative)

Could you find any leads?
