Saving Planning Area data to Infocube

[Former Member]

Hi:

1) For some reason, I am not able to save the DP planning area to an infocube.

I followed the steps shown in the link below.

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm2007/helpdata/en/8f/9d6937089c2556e10000009b38f889/frameset.htm

2) Are there other ways of saving of planning area data (characteristics and

key figures) other than to info cube?

3) If you have any learned lessons from this, could you please share with me? What are the best practices?

Thanks.

Senthil:

The info source that is referred to in the link that you gave is actually not there in the current version of RSA1. One may have to use RSA1OLD.

Anyways, I created and activated the datasource. Created a data transformation. Created an info package. The only thing I did different this time was to add a filter in the info package. And it worked. I was able to upload data from the planning area to the infocube. Thanks.

I tried to load directly without PSA but I could not. I had to use PSA.

Some of the links posted in this thread are helpful. It was more my BW lack of knowledge at that time than anything else.
