Reporting Mode "Reference"

The system we have currently includes EHP3 but we are considering EHP4 and I wondered if anyone has experience or understanding of the BCS-related improvements.

SAP Note 1171344 mentions a new reporting mode of u201Creferenceu201D and we are trying to find out what it means and how it might be used. It would be appreciated if you would please let me know if you have any details regarding this or have any suggestions as to where I might find this.

Dan, try here:

http://service.sap.com/erp-ehp

Unfortunately you have to then dig around some more, you can't hyperlink to any more detail on these pages (or if you can, let me know how!) and the current link to EHP 4 doesn't work.

(Link is entitled: "SAP Enhancement Package 4 for SAP ERP 6.0" is in Ramp up since November 21st, 2008. the 4th line down on the page)

We are implementing EHP4 very soon, although there are some snags in our Basis team at present, I'll let you know how it goes.

Meanwhile, I sent you an email.

Hi Dan,

Virtual provider is same as Transaction cube but with the extra characteristics

Reference Fiscal year & Reference period,

Through which we can see the "Current period transaction data with prior year Master data".

If you know more about this issue by now.. please post your comments.

Thanks

The only information I found is:

In reporting mode Reference, as is the case in reporting mode Restatement, you must specify the reference year and reference period.

You can use this reporting mode to expand the enterprise hierarchy for the reference period. The system only displays the data records that were posted in a period when a company belonged to the group according to the hierarchy of the reference period.

Thanks Eugene. This at least is a mention of the reference mode, but it is still unclear as to how it differs from restatement.
