About Time charecterstics

20 Views

In my report logic, i have PO created date, PO last change date, Material Doc year fields etc..Now im about to model my complete flow right from the datasource to cube. Now tell me if i have to create new infoobjects for above fields or should i use 0calday,0calyear etc??

Im really confused about how i have to go about.I knw that we can either create a reference time charecterstics( refering to 0DATE) but then what is the use of standard time charecterstics given by SAP. In all the forums i could see that time charecterstics are used based on the bussiness granularity.But why cant we go about create custome infoobjects like 0PO_DATE,0PO_CR_YEAR and use them as variables in the query.. so that the user can get the data he needed???

Please kindly tell me with a example, how and when we use SAP defined time charecterstics and when we will go about creating custom charectertics referencing to SAP time charecterstics. One clear example can help me and everyone in understanding better. Will assing more points if answered..
