Hi,

Well I am not an expert on Inventory but this is what I know:

0IC_C03 - LO Cockpit cube - Standard Inventory qty and values. This can be used for all purpose on a generic basis. This is not customized for any specific Industry sector. A standard ECC can use this as well as Retail can use this.

0CP_IC_C1 - This is also an Inventory cube containing value and quantities but this is more specifically designed for CP industry sector (Consumer Products). Here the BW transaction keys are different meaning that events/movement types specific to CP industry transactions will generate these transaction keys which gets updated to BW.

Also the cube 0CP_IC_C1 KPIs are average figures on the stock quantities and values (Exception Aggregation: Average Over Calendar Days). Whereas in 0IC_C03 the KPIs (NCKFs) are based on last value (Exception Aggregation: Last for Calendar Days)

Therfore if you are not aiming at Consumer Products Industry specific implementation, I would recommend 0IC_C03 cube.

Hi Kristian,

0IC_C03 is for Material Movements

0CP_IC_C1 is for Material Movements and Warehouse Stocks
