[Former Member]

Hello,

While trying to build infocube i used characterstic 0CS_ITEM used in cube: 0BCS_C10. Now 0BCS_INITEM and 0CS_CHART are automatically adding

what is the role of this infoobject 0CS_ITEM and how important is it.

thanks

Functionally 0GL_ACCOUNT(General Ledger) in BI world is same as 0CS_ITEM(Item) in the BCS world.

similarly 0CHRT_ACCTS(Chart of Accounts) in BI world is same as 0CS_CHART(Consolidation Chart of Accounts) in the BCS World

Main Highlight/Difference or the rationale behind having though the different object

is that in BCS you can post documents at NODE level of 0CS_ITEM(Text Nodes to be technical) whereas in BI you cannot post Documents at NODE(Text) levels,in BI you have to post documents at Object level(0GL_ACCOUNT level) itself.

Also the company code(0COMP_CODE) in the BI world is same as 0COMPANY ,since in BCS we have the ELIMINATION companies fundamentals we make use of 0COMPANY ;however in BI world we call that elimination company as infoobject Trading Partner(0PCOMPANY)

You will see this when you build your Consolidation Basis that the mapping done is

0CS_ITEM to OGL_ACCOUNT

0COMPANY to 0COMP_CODE

and so on ....

Note - In the FERC(Federal Energy Regulatory Commission) module 0GL_ACCOUNT is called natural account and FERC account is called as REGULATORY account.

Hope it Helps

I'm afraid that I don't agree with you. With you generalisation. What is citated above in italic, in general is a SOME PARTICULAR situation. The SEM-BCS is a very powerful tool. It has no prerequisites to have (and map) 0CS_ITEM to OGL_ACCOUNT or

0COMPANY to 0COMP_CODE.

You may simply use your CUSTOM infoobjects with assigned in BCS FS Item & Company role.

There are no such rigid restrictions as you mentioned.

Hope this helps.

Hi Eugene,

thats correct,am not a guru like you, however my illustration is purely coincidental and does not reflect a generic statement,its merely based upon my practical scenario we used ,so can say was more of a real time case for a person to understand.

Next time would definitely put a disclaimer on it

Hope it Helps

Hi Peter,

Usually 0cs_Item is used in SEM-BCS cubes and settings as Financial Statement Item. The infoobjects that are added automatically must be compounded with 0cs_item (at least 0cs_chart is).

Hope this helps.
