Time Characteristics Missing in ADSO mapping for Inventory dataflow

[Former Member]

So I'm working on an inventory report and I installed SAP delivered data flow for inventory.  However, part of the requirement is to have Fiscal time characteristics, so I added the IO's 0FISCYEAR, 0FISCVARNT, 0FISCPER, 0FISCPER3 to all the ADSO's both at the corporate memory level and the EDW level in the BWMT and activated them. These characteristics are visible on the BWMT for all ADSO's but when I open the transformations in SAP BW that map from corporate layer to the EDW ADSO's the only char I see is the 0FISCVARNT for all 3 ADSO (/IMO/D_MMIM01, /IMO/D_IMMIM02 and /IMO/D_MMIM10. I don't see the rest of the ones I added and for the delivered time chars I only see )CALDAY, I don't see 0calweek, 0CALMONTH, 0CALQUARTER or 0CALYEAR.  Does anyone know how to go about it or even experienced anything like this before for the inventory data flow or any other flow? Please see attachment.

We are using BW on HANA 7.4 SP13 and ECC 6.0 not on HANA yet.

Thanks for all your help in advance points will be assigned.

Hi Kalinda,

best to check the chapter about 'Time Reference Characteristics' for non-cumulatives in the SAP BW online documentation.

Time Reference Characteristic

Thanks Andreas!

Yeah we figured out that all of the time Characteristics are there calculated from 0CALDAY.  You can see this by clicking on 0CALDAY in the transformation, hence the reason for the other time chars not showing in the transformation mapping. The link you sent definitely helps in understanding this fully too.

Regards!
