SAP Note
Header Data
Symptom
You want to extend the Data/InfoSource 0FI_AP_3 or 0FI_AR_3 by
additional fields or InfoObjects (e.g. the business area).
Other Terms
Data/InfoSources 0FI_AP_3 and 0FI_AR_3, ODS objects 0FIAP_O03
and 0FIAR_O03, InfoCubes 0FIAP_C03 and 0FIAR_C03
Reason and Prerequisites
Missing documentation on the enhancement of FI-AP/AR line item
reporting.
Solution
We recommend the following procedure:
1. Check in the OLTP system whether the required information
already exists in the database tables BSIK or BSAK (for 0FI_AP_3)
or BSID or BSAD (for 0FI_AR_3). You can do this by calling either
Transaction SE11 or Transaction SE80.
If this is the case (like for example for the business area,
field name: GSBER), it is sufficient to enhance the extract
structure DTFIAP_3 (for 0FI_AP_3) or DTFIAP_3 (for 0FI_AR_3). The
extractor will then fill this field automatically (via
move-corresponding). Please note that it is considered a technical
modification to add fields that lie in the SAP namespace to the
extract structure.
If the desired information is not directly in tables BSIK or
BSAK or BSID or BSAD, or if you want to avoid a modification , you
first need to enhance the extract structure DTFIAP_3 or DTFIAR_3 by
the wanted field as well. The following applies as well if this
alternative is used: If the names of the fields to be added to the
extract structure lie in the SAP namespace, such an enhancement is
a system modification. If the names of the fields are in the
customer namespace, it is a modification-free change. Create a
function module (any name and development class) which will read
the desired information (e.g. from a table which does not exist in
the SAP standard) and fill or change the additional field in the
extract structure. Use function module SAMPLE_PROCESS_00005020 as a
reference (concerning the input and output parameters). After that,
enter the function module you just created in table TPS31. This
way, the function module will be called for each extracted record.
Note that in this case, the performance might deteriorate
considerably during the extraction depending on the table which is
being read and the complexity of the programmed logic.
2. If no suitable InfoObject exists, it must be created in the
BW System.
3. Ensure that the communication structures, the transfer rules,
the ODS objects and the InfoCubes are enhanced by the new field or
by the InfoObject. Additionally, all changed objects must be
activated.
Alternatively to the described procedure, you can also use the
generic DataSource enhancement which was developed for BW Release
2.0B. The generic DataSource enhancement is described in the BW
documentation or in the BW PlugIn documentation. The user exits
EXIT_SAPLRSAP_001 for transaction data and EXIT_SAPLRSAP_002 for
master data are used here. For reasons of efficiency, we recommend
using this method if extensive databse tables (e,g, BSEG, BSIS,
KNA1, etc.)are used. With the generic method, processing is
conducted by package rather than by every extracted record. The
duration of the extraction may be substantially shorter than by
record-by-record processing.
