When I first started working on retraction in BPS, there was less help available for configuring retractor initially and after experiencing several difficulties and issues while configuring Cost Center Retractor in BPS I thought of writing this series of weblogs that would explain how to do Cost Center accounting (Primary costs, Activities/prices) BPS retraction in detail. This weblog will give an idea on retractor configuration for the beginners.
In this series of Cost Center Accounting (CCA) retraction weblogs first I would explain necessary initial configuration & creating sender structure for CCA Retraction.
Retraction- Transfer of plan data from the SAP Business Information Warehouse (SAP BW) into SAP R/3 System.
Steps in Sequence
1. Add the following entries in the table UPB_RETRACT or UPBR_RETRACT using SE11--> Utilities --> Table Contents --> Create Entries. Get the required authorization access for populating data into table
UPB_RET_BASH
UPB_RET_COPS
UPB_RET_STKEYFIG
       
3. Now create Rules using Transfer rules.
Run T-Code UPB_RULE or UPB_STRUCT --> select Environment --> Transfer Rules.
Specify the sender structure ( UPB_SND_COPS ) created earlier and click on change button.
   
4. Click on ‘Create Proposal for rule’ to automatically map Receiver field with Sender field available. Delete or add or shift necessary field mapping.
   
5. Use Constant column for passing constant values (USD/EA/HR etc)
6. For mapping Amount or Quantity fields,
Specify the fields in single quotes under formula column
