There are so many standard infosources available with Business Content.How do i know that i have to map the DS to one of those std infosources or I have to create infosource and then map 0SD_03?

Hi,

The Sales cube is 0SD_C03. You could refer to the following link on the Info-sources, Characteristics, key figures, etc..that you would need to activate.

Goto RSA1 -> Business Content -> Select the objects and activate them.

Hi,

In case of standard IOs and cubes it's rather straight forward.

In RSA1-business content area select your SD cube, Choose Data inflow before option. Collected objects will show you the appropriate infosource and datasource. You can install and use them.

hi,

there are no clear rules here.

You have to follow business requirements of your users.

They will told you what data or information they exactly need. Then you have to think how you can deliver it. First you can check BC sources if they contain all required information (fields from tables).

If not you have to enchance BC sources or build your own - it depends on you.

e.g. Users told you that they need data from ME21N transaction (Purchase Orders). You know that PO data are stored in EKPO and EKKO tables.

You can investigate if there are any BC sources with data from that tables. If not you build generic data source...
