Recently i was working with one Pharma client for issue on GL Account Data was missing data for certain no of General ledgers. General ledgers were fail to load from underline DSO to Infocube above.
There was incorrect Balance and P/L Data for combination of G/L entity Material and Material group.
Issue was isolated for current period 002.2019 . It was really impacting the Month end closing for customer and there were huge consequences.
There were various methods tried as follows
1.We tried selectively deleting the impacted G/L Entity combination based data for affected Materials and Material group. It fixed the issue for those combinations.
Unfortunately on same day other runs we observed some more variance for other combinations of G/L, entity and Material.
We decided this time to fix the issue once for all and thought of second plan mentioned below.
2. We created plan based on selectively delete the data from the Infocube for current period say 002.2019.
We performed the plan but at the end when we performed validations in BPC we observed that it impacted all the G/L for period 2 . There were major variance across all the G/L and entity combination for 0BALANCE key figure.
Just one part was ok that all the P/L data was correct.
We did further checks and our observations that when we loaded data in SAP BW with 002.2019 selection it only pulled data for Posting period (0FISCPER3) 2.
It did not pull any carry forward balance data for period 0 and period 1.
This caused lot of variance across in BPC planning data.
