Introduction: This article describes about the Rule Group using Rule Type Routine in SAP-BW. A Rule Group is a group of transformation rules. It contains one transformation rule for each key field of the target. A transformation can contain multiple rule groups.

Live Scenarios: In some cases the requirement is like below….

Based on some Characteristics values, we need to populate/load the data into different Key Figures in InfoCube.

Eg: Here I’m explaining one simple scenario using Flat File DataSource.

The data in Flat File is like below…

Based on Movement Type and Flag, I want to load the data into two Key Figures in InfoCube.

The conditions are:

1. If Movement Type = 101 or 102 AND Flag = A then load the data into 0AMOUNT KeyFigure in InfoCube.

2. If Movement Type = 101 or 102 or 103 AND Flag = Q then load the data into 0BUDGETPROP KeyFigure

in InfoCube.

Steps:

Create InfoCube with following Objects.



Create Flat File DataSource like below.

Here in the following screen, in Fields tab we have only Amount Key Figure only. Because we are getting data from DataSource for AMOUNT Field only. But our requirement is, based on the above two conditions we need to split and load the data into Two different Key Figures in InfoCube.



Note: Here I’m not displaying all Tabs of DataSource.

Create Transformations.



By default Standard Group will create by system.

Here, I modified the Standard Group based on Movement type and Flag.



See the Rule Details.



Here the Rule type is Routine. Based on Movement type and Flag, we need to load the data to 0AMOUNT Key Figure in InfoCube.

Select Rule Type “Routine” and it will open the Code window, write the following code.

Code - 1:

Write the following Code.

See the routine Code: (Marked in Violet color)

DATA: MONITOR_REC TYPE rsmonitor. *$*$ begin of routine - insert your code only below this line *-* ... "insert your code here *-- fill table "MONITOR" with values of structure "MONITOR_REC" *- to make monitor entries ... "to cancel the update process * raise exception type CX_RSROUT_ABORT. ... "to skip a record * raise exception type CX_RSROUT_SKIP_RECORD. ... "to clear target fields * raise exception type CX_RSROUT_SKIP_VAL.



IF ( SOURCE_FIELDS-MOVETYPE EQ '101' OR SOURCE_FIELDS-MOVETYPE EQ '102') AND SOURCE_FIELDS-/BIC/FLAG EQ 'A'. RESULT = SOURCE_FIELDS-AMOUNT. ENDIF. *$*$ end of routine - insert your code only before this line *-*

Create New Rule Group with name RG2, and map Amount Field from DataSource to 0BUDGETPROP InfoObject, for reference please look into the following figure.

And see the details of the Rule Group RG2.



Select Rule Type “Routine” and it will open the Code window, write the following code.

Code - 2:

Write the following Code.

See the routine Code: (Marked in Violet color) DATA: MONITOR_REC TYPE rsmonitor. *$*$ begin of routine - insert your code only below this line *-* ... "insert your code here *-- fill table "MONITOR" with values of structure "MONITOR_REC" *- to make monitor entries ... "to cancel the update process * raise exception type CX_RSROUT_ABORT. ... "to skip a record * raise exception type CX_RSROUT_SKIP_RECORD. ... "to clear target fields * raise exception type CX_RSROUT_SKIP_VAL. IF ( SOURCE_FIELDS-MOVETYPE EQ '101' OR SOURCE_FIELDS-MOVETYPE EQ '102' OR SOURCE_FIELDS-MOVETYPE EQ '103') AND



SOURCE_FIELDS-/BIC/FLAG EQ 'Q'. RESULT = SOURCE_FIELDS-AMOUNT. ENDIF. *$*$ end of routine - insert your code only before this line *-*

If you see the two Rule Groups, i.e. Standard and RG2, you can find the Fields and InfoObjects mapping differences…

In Standard Rule Group, we mapped Amount field to 0AMOUNT, and in Rule Group RG2, Amount Field is mapped to 0BUDGETPROP.

Create Data Transfer Processes

Create InfoPackage and then execute. ( i.e. InfoPackage & Data Transfer Processes).

After successful data load, check the data in InfoCube.

0CALMONTH and 0CALYEAR InfoObejcts are not mapped in Transformations, so it is showing blank in the InfoCube

Note: For newly created/modified objects please follow the steps:

Check.

Save.

Activate.
