Dear Experts,
We are implementing Purchasing. I have a consultant(Architech from a very reputable company) who is opposed to the idea of enabling the data flow for PO Header Information(2LIS_02_HDR). The data flowing into cubes 0PUR_C04 (Purchasing Groups) and 0PUR_C09 (Purchase Order Service Level).The consultant's argument is that most of the header information is at the line item level extractor (2LIS_02_ITM) and if we need any header level details we would enhance the extractor (2LIS_02_ITM) with the details. Moreover, this consultant is of the opinion that this extractor is redundant and SAP sometimes provides redudant information. I was also told that the initialization on the R/3 side can be done just for header down the line if we need the header information in BW. I am not sure if this is correct. Can someone please confirm that.
I totally disagree with this person. I think the line item extractor should not be enhanced with header information. I would really appreciate if somebody can comment on this and also the pros and cons of not having the header information in BW.
Thanks.
Regards,
Vish
