Inventory Data SourcesTransactional DataSources for Inventory

Management/ Materials Management. 2LIS_03_BX : Stock Initialization for Inventory

Management. 2LIS_03_BF : Goods Movements From

Inventory Management. 2LIS_03_UM : Revaluations.

Inventory Data Sources in R/3

2LIS_03_BX - Material stock The first Data Source (2LIS_03_BX) is used to extract an opening stock

balance on a detailed level (material, plant, storage location) at this moment. "At this moment" is the point in time at which the statistical setup ran for DataSource 2LIS_03_BX.

2LIS_03_BF - Material movements

This DataSource is used to extract the material movements into the BW system. Material movements like goods receipts and goods issues are being pulled using this extractor using MSEG table.

2LIS_03_UM Revaluations

The third of the above DataSources (2LIS_03_UM) contains data from valuated revaluations in Financial Accounting (BSEG Table).

2LIS_03_BX DataSource

This DataSource is used to extract the stock data from MM Inventory Management for initialization to a BW system

At this moment, opening stock is the operative stock in R/3. Opening stock balance at detailed level of information

The DataSource only supports the update modes Full UploadRestriction based on plat, material or storage locationInventory management with non-cumulative key

figures The reporting requirement is to report the historical stock

balances on a dailyThe query-runtime is excellent. To reduce the data volume in

the fact table, it is better to use the non-cumulative key figures.

2LIS_03_BF Datasource

This Datasource is used to extract the material movement data from MM Inventory Management (MM-IM) consistently to a BW system. A data record belonging to extractor 2LIS_03_BF is defined in a unique way using the key fields Material Document Number (MBLNR), Material Document Year (MJAHR),

Set up of statistical data for material movement.All historical material movements are to set up.Helps to calculate historical stock values.Restriction based on posting data/material number.Can be started in parallel.

2LIS_03_UM Datasource

This Datasource is used to extract the revaluation data from MM Inventory Management (MM-IM) consistently to a BW system.

Financial accounting, No logistics informationOnly stock value changes not quantities.
