Hi Santosh,

LO extraction is an application specific extraction methodolgy used to extract data from all logistics modules in R/3. it is explained very well in the follwoing thread:

Also following weblogsby Roberto Negro explains the concepts clearly:

Hi,

There are 2 types of Extractor.

1. Application specific

2. Cross application

under application specifi extractor there are 2 more extractor type.

1. BW content extractor : all your SAP delivered extractors for each applications. like LO for logistics, FI for Finacial information, etc.

2. Customer genarated extgractor: where user as the fle

xiblity to change the extrator fileds, like CO-PA,LIS,FI-SL.

In cross application extractor all the generic extractor created by user as per rquirement. ex. creating views.
