This data source is used to extract the deleted items in the documents in the VBAP table from the change document tables (the sales document category is specified in parentheses): These include:
For example, if an order item is imported into PPM and then deleted from the SAP system, it still exists in PPM. Due to the fact that this data source imports a fragment for each deleted document, which is added to the fragments that already exist in PPM, you can select documents that have been imported into PPM but already deleted, so that they can be ignored during measure calculation.
Data extraction
All entries that belong to the VBAP table (CDPOS-TABNAME), include a deletion of the complete line item (CDPOS-FNAME is equal to KEY, CDPOS-CHNGIND is equal to D), and whose creation time (CDHDR-UDATE, CDHDR-UTIME) lies within the extraction period are extracted from the CDPOS table.
A source system event is generated for each extracted document item.
Data import
Each source system event with the source system attribute VBAP-POSNR is ignored. The following process fragment is imported for each source system event with the source system attribute VBAP-POSNR:
