The definition of KF cumulative or not is to make scenario (infocube) non-cumulative.

If the modeling of non-cumulatives with non-cumulative key figures is useful depends on your scenario. Normally it is useful to keep the history of the data, for example with warehouse stock (retail) or with the number of employees.

In the link below there is a detailed example:

you can see the complete documentation at

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/80/1a62ebe07211d2acb80000e829fbfe/frameset.htm

normally you have to define a cumulative kf,

pay attention to a non-cumulative normally is used for special scenario like inventory history.
