Table ZZX_CO2_COEFFS / Energy and CO2 Emission Coeffcients

This table exists on both systems PF1/WP1, and is filled manually by Energy Carbon team

Table TKKH2 / Origin Group Texts in CO Object

This table exists on system PF1 and contains texts for Origin Group.

View ZBW_V_TKKH2 / Origin Group Texts

This view exist on system PF1 and references table:

  • TKKH2 / Text Table for Origin in CO Object

View contains Texts associated to Origin Group.

View is filtered on Controlling Area = CHEF, Origin Type = 02 and Language = English.

View ZBW_V_CKPX / Cost Objects Hierarchies

This view exist on system PF1 and references tables:

  • CKPE / CO-PC Cost Object Hierarchy: Individual Objects
  • CKPH / Master Record: Cost Object ID Number
  • CKPHT / Texts for CKPH

View contains all levels of Cost Object Hierarchy as attributes, as well as the associated texts.

View is filtered on CKPHT Language = English. (obsolete)

Tables are filled from table KKPHIE. (To be confirmed)

View ZBW_V_ETABR3 / Establishment Texts

This view exist on system PF1 and references tables:

  • ZZRETABR3 / R3 establishment
  • ZZRETAB / Establishment
  • ZZRSITE / Site

View contains Texts associated to R/3 Establishments.

At datasource level (PF1/WP1)

For PF1 only:

  • DataSource DTS_ZBW_V_TKKH2, based on view ZBW_V_TKKH2, returns Origin Group Texts.
  • DataSource DTS_ZBW_V_CKPX, based on view ZBW_V_CKPX, returns Cost Object Attributes & Texts.
  • DataSource DTS_ZBW_V_ETABR3, based on view ZBW_V_ETABR3, returns R/3 Establishment Texts.


Datasource : DTS_ZBW_V_ZWPPMCKOST based on view ZBW_V_ZWPPMCKOST:

Controlling Area (0CO_AREA)

The controlling area is unique on PF1 ( value CHEF), but not on WP1 ( Z006, Z025, Z026...)

The controlling Area is not available on ECC side specific tables, but, in order to match the BI referential, this information is necessary to get referential attribut and texts (example 'Cost Center' C_COSTCTR, 'Profit Center' C_PFT_CTR)

To get the information extractor are based on specific view with follow the business rule given : 

  • A plant belongs to a single company code (link found in table T001K where 'Valuation Area' (BWKEY) corresponds to the plant (WERKS)
  • A company code belongs to a single controlling area (link found in table TKA02 / field 'Business Area' (GSBER) is always empty) 
Cost Component Structure (0CCOMPSTRUC)

The Cost Component Structure id is not unique on PF1 (on WP1, only id Z1 is used), and the id is not part of source table ZWPPMCKOST.

The append ZEXTRA_FIELDS has been added to extract structure of the data source (ZOXDF10019). Fields belonging to the append are field within class ZDTS_ZBW_V_ZWPPMCKOST.

To get the information :

  • by default set id to 'Z1' except for exception managed in table TCK07 'Costing Variants for Organizational Units'
  • Exceptions for certain company codes (BUKRS)
    • ignore value '++++'
    • keep only one valid record by company code (the latest)

Cost Element Texts (0COSTELMNT) & Statistical Key Figure (0STKEYFIG)

Some Cost Elements do not fit the standard format for this Master Data - coded on 6 characters, they stand for Statistical Key Figures that are not used.

Because these Cost Elements do not exist in hierarchy CHEFXCS-ALL, values for attributes C_CELTHX1/2/3/4/5 are collected through Flat File flow based on DataSource DTS_FMCO_0COSTELMNT_01.

Statistical Key Figures are loaded using generic datasources 0STKEYFIG_ATTR (Attributes) and 0STKEYFIG_TEXT (Texts)

Texts from Statistical Key Figures are then copied in Cost Element texts (TRSF: IOBJ 0STKEYFIG -> IOBJ 0COSTELMNT).

Generic datasources exist in SOLVAY PF1 Dataflow only.

At business level (WBP)

GBU (CPFCTR1_2)

The GBU available for reporting is BFC Global Business Unit (CPFCTR1_2)

  • For RCS WP1 data, the GBU is taken from the Profit Center (Navigational attribut 0PROFIT_CTR__CPFCTR1_2)
  • For Solvay PF1 data, the GBU is calculated at Business Level following below rule

TRSF: ODSO DPCOPP01 -> ODSO DBCOPP04 (10/02/2023 → DBCOPAP04 not loaded since sept 2020).

  • Case 1: Profit Center (0PROFIT_CTR) & Company Code (C_COMPCDE)are filled

    Case 1a: Profit Center is 10 characters long + starting with 'F' + plant is filled

    • Concatenate Profit Center, Company Code, Plant
    • Read MasterData Technical Business Area (C_TECHBA) and get GBU (CPFCTR1_2)

    Case 1b: Profit Center on 5 positions starting by 'D' 

    • Concatenate '00000', Profit Center, Company Code
    • Read MasterData Technical Business Area (C_TECHBA) and get GBU (CPFCTR1_2)

     Case 2 : Plant (C_PLANT) & Material (C_MATPNT2) are filled

    • Read MasterData Material Plant (C_MATPNT2) and get Profit Center (0PROFIT_CTR)
    • Then apply Case 1a and Case 1b

     Case 3: Controlling Area (0CO_AREA), Cost Center (C_COSTCTR) are filled

    • Read MasterData Cost Center (C_COSTCTR) and get GBU (CPFCTR1_2)

Other lookup:

TRSF: APCOPP01 -> ABCOPP01 (Solvay) & TRSF: ODSO DPCOPP01 -> ODSO DBCOPP01: matpnt2 or costctr.

TRSF: ODSO DPCOPP03 -> ODSO DBCOPP03: C_KSTRG4

Assignation in multiprovider MVCOPP01:


Exclude activity and Balancing movements (C_EXACBMO)

TRSF: ODSO DPCOPP01 -> ODSO DBCOPP04:

The flag is set to 'X' when :

    • cost element, first 2 positions = '98'.
    • index 1 = '9' and origin, first 2 positions = 'KL'.

    


TRSF: ODSO DPCOPP01 -> ODSO DBCOPP01 & TRSF: APCOPP01 -> ABCOPP01 (Solvay):

The flag is set to 'X' when :

    • cost element, first 2 positions = '98'.
    • index 1 = '9' and origin, first 2 positions = 'KL'.

If index 1 = '3' and C_PLANT and C_ORIGIN have correspondance with the plant and material plant from DPCOPP01 / APCOPP01:


TRSF: ODSO APCOPP02 -> ODSO ABCOPP02 & TRSF: ODSO DPCOPP03 -> ODSO DBCOPP03: 

The flag is set to 'P' when field index 1 = 3, fields plant and origin have correspondance with the plant and material plant from APCOPP02 /  DPCOPP01  (for index = 1):


Material Ledger Costs Split (K_MLWRT)

For SOLVAY PF1 (DBCOPP01/04/06/15, ABCOPP01) and Flat Files (DBCOPP03, DBCOPP14), Material Ledger Costs are split between 3 components:

  • Material Ledger Fixed Costs (K_ML_FC)
  • Material Ledger Variable Costs (K_ML_VC)
  • Material Ledger Dependencies (K_ML_DEP)

From Flat File, for index1 = 3 or index1 = 9, we check that K_MLWRT is not null.

At all times, K_MLWRT = K_ML_FC + K_ML_VC + K_ML_DEP.


In TRSF: RSDS DTS_DPCOPP03_0001 PC_FILE -> ODSO DPCOPP03 & TRSF: RSDS DTS_DPCOPP03_0001 PC_FILE -> ODSO DPCOPP03

If index1 = 1 or 2, the value of  /BIC/K_MLWRT is inverted:


Origin Split (C_ORIGIN)

In DBCOPP01/04 ABCOPP01 (SOLVAY PF1), Origin details have been split between 5 infoObjects:

  • Origin Activity Type (C_ORICACT)
  • Origin Cost Center (C_ORICCTR)
  • Origin Order (C_ORICORD)
  • Origin WBS Element (C_ORICWBS)
  • Origin Material (C_ORIMAT)

Their value is dependent on the Index1 value and C_ORIGIN structure:

  • For index1 = 1 or 3, C_ORIMAT = C_ORIGIN+12(18). For index1 = 5 or 7, it is the same but first we check that LOGSYS/C_ORIGIN exists as C_MATNR2.
  • For index 1 = 5 or 7, C_ORICACT = 0ACTTYPE (Activity Type) and C_ORICCTR = C_COSTCTR (Cost Center)
  • For index1 = 9, depending on the first 2 characters of C_ORIGIN:
    • When 'KL', C_ORICCTR = C_ORIGIN+6(10) / C_ORICACT = C_ORIGIN+16(6)
    • When 'KS', C_ORICCTR = C_ORIGIN+6(10)
    • When 'OR', C_ORICORD = C_ORIGIN+2(12)
    • When 'PR', C_ORICWBS = C_WBS_EL2 where C_WBS_EL2__C_OBJNR = C_ORIGIN+0(10)
    • When '00', C_ORIMAT = C_MATNR2

The same split has been applied to DBCOPP02 ABCOPP02 (RCS WP1), with simplified rules:

  • For Index1 = 1 or 2 or 3, C_ORIMAT = C_ORIGIN+12(18).
  • For index 1 = 5, C_ORICACT = 0ACTTYPE (Activity Type) and C_ORICCTR = C_COSTCTR (Cost Center)
Origin Texts

Origin Texts are collected from PF1 and WP1. Loads are included in Main Chains and thus happen daily on Current Month (and Previous Month from 01 to 08 of each month).

Because of a large amount of missing texts, a corrective DTP runs every day to collect texts from other Master Data, once more based on the first 2 characters of C_ORIGIN (TRSF: IOBJ C_ORIGIN -> IOBJ C_ORIGIN):

  • When 'KL', Short Text from C_COSTCTR & ' / ' & Medium Text from 0ACTTYPE
  • When 'KS', Medium Text from C_COSTCTR
  • When 'OR', Short Text from C_COORDER
  • When 'PR', Medium Text from C_WBS_EL2
  • When '00', Medium Text from C_MATNR2

There is also a special case where text exists but must be replaced: If INDEX1 = 5 and Text begins with 'ATY', apply the same text as 'KL' Origins.

Origin Group (C_HRKFT)

Origin Group is collected as a subchain of CO Key Subnumber (C_COKSNB).

TRSF: ODSO DPCOPP01 -> ODSO DBCOPP04 & TRSF: ODSO DPCOPP01 -> ODSO DBCOPP01 & TRSF: APCOPP01 -> ABCOPP01 (Solvay):


Origin Group Texts are collected from SOLVAY PF1 by datasource DTS_ZBW_V_TKKH2 and from RHODIA with datasource DTS_ZV_TKKH2.

Origin Group is also collected as attribute of C_ORIMAP3, infoobject created in reference to C_MATPNT3 and identical to C_ORIMAT in our data. That Origin Group, C_ORIMAP3__C_HRKFT, is collected from SOLVAY PF1 by datasource DTS_MBEW_01.

Total Actual Quantity Conversion

Total Actual Quantity is converted to fill the values of the following attributes of Activities DSOs (DBCOPP04, DBCOPP01 & ABCOPP01 for SOLVAY PF1, DBCOPP02 & ABCOPP02 for RCS WP1):

  • Total Actual Quantity Standard (K_ACQTSTD)
  • Total Actual Quantity in EP (K_ACQTYEP)
  • Total Actual Quantity in Scope 1 in CO2 (K_AQT1CO2)
  • Total Actual Quantity in Scope 2 in CO2 (K_AQT2CO2)
  • Total Actual Quantity in Scope 3 in CO2 (K_AQT3CO2)

Conversion is based on Real Factors DSOs (DBCOPP10 for PF1, DBCOPP11 for WP1) and ZBW_V_CO2_COEFFS DSOs (DBCOPP07 for PF1, DBCOPP08 for WP1).

If coefficient Real Factor Conversion (K_RFACONV) exists in Real Factors DSO, TAQ Standard and TAQ in EP are calculated using that coefficient. Otherwise, they are calculated using Local To Standard UoM Conversion (K_UOMCONV) and Primary Energy Coefficient (K_ENGCOEF), respectively, from ZBW_V_CO2_COEFFS DSO.

TAQ in CO2 are always calculated using coefficients CO2 Emission Scope (K_CO2EMI1/2/3) from ZBW_V_CO2_COEFFS DSO if they exist.

Master Data Cost Element (0COSTELMNT)

CHEFXCS-ALL Hierarchy Levels are stored in Master Data Cost Element, in attributes C_CELTHX1 to C_CELTHX5 in transformation TRSF: 0COSTELMNT -> 0COSTELMNT.

Levels are stored as follow:

AttributeHierarchy LevelExample
C_CELTHX12XCS-SELL
C_CELTHX23XCS-SELLA
C_CELTHX34XCS-SELLB
C_CELTHX45XCS-SELLC
C_CELTHX56XCS-SALE01

Hierarchy Level 1 is always "XCS-ALL" and thus not stored.

Loading frequency

IMEP is loaded daily, excluding Sundays. Previous month is loaded from 01 to 08 only while Current month is loaded from 01 to the end of month.

Events on Solvay ECC (PF1) and RCS (WP1) start BW Process Chains. These events are not expected to run on Sundays.

Flat Files (Excel file) can be loaded manually in transaction ZIMEP_FILE, at will.

Rule

Explanation

IMEPRCS_LOAD

Period (YYYYPPP) to load, RCS. NO_LOAD to avoid loadings

Counter 1 = "Current Period" used by chains PC_CO_IMEP_01/20.

Counter 2 = "Previous Period" used by chains PC_CO_IMEP_08/25.

Do not change active flag (Active = Y)

This variable is used in decision block

IMEPRCS_DEL

Period (YYYYPPP) to delete, RCS DSO/Cube. NO_DEL to avoid

Counter 1 = "Current Period" used by chains PC_CO_IMEP_01/20.

Counter 2 = "Previous Period" used by chains PC_CO_IMEP_08/25.

Do not change active flag (Active = Y)ZBW_IMEP003

IMEPRCS_HISTO

Counter 1 = Number of Year to keep in all DSOs/Cubes RCS

Counter 2 = Delete all data in all DSOs/Cubes RCS older than

The counter 1 is entered manually, it is a number of years to keep in all DSOs and Cubes.

If '3' is entered, 3 full years + current year are kept.

The counter 2 is determined within program ZBW_IMEP001 depending of the loaded period and the counter 1.

Example : we are the 01/08/2016, the period 007.2016 is loaded. As the counter 1 is '3', the calculated counter 2 is 001.2013.

All period previous to 001.2013 will be deleted via the main process chain

IMEPSOLV_LOAD

Same explanation as RCS_LOAD

IMEPSOLV_DEL

Same explanation as RCS_DEL

IMEPSOLV_HISTOSame explanation as RCS_HISTO
IMEPFF_DATA

Counter 1 = Input filename for ZBW_IMEP002 program.

Counter 2 = Store actual delta queue of running process chain PC_CO_IMEP_15.

Counter 3 = Total counter for ZBW_IMEP002 program file loading.

Counter 4 = Version to be updated by program ZBW_IMEP002

Counter 5 = List of Plants to be updated by program ZBW_IMEP002 - Format: "PL1/PL2/PL3/...", up to 120 characters

Counter 6 = Fiscal Year to be updated by program ZBW_IMEP002

Data in counter 4 to 6 are read in program ZBW_IMEP003 to define Selective Deletion perimeter before import.

Interface

User must first indicate whether he is loading a Planned Data Budget File (Target: CRCOPP03, Event/Process Chain launched: PC_CO_IMEP_15) or a Cost Center Postings Budget File (Target: CRCOPP08, Event/Process Chain launched: PC_CO_IMEP_32). Only one type of file can be loaded at once, and both types have different format.

User can choose an Excel flat file from his local computer by using the "File to load" browser.

Once the file is choosen, the user can preview the content to be uploaded from his selected file by clicking on "Preview" icon.

Preview is color-coded: green entries are correct, while yellow ones return warnings and red ones return one or more errors.

 Once the file is choosen, the user can start the content checking of the file by clicking on "Check file" icon.

If errors and warnings exists, they will be listed with a description of the error at the end of each line.

Once the file content is checked and all errors corrected, the user can load the file to BW application server (AL11) and raise the event associated with the type of import they chose by clicking on "Load file" icon.

 The event PC_CO_IMEP_15 triggers the process chain PC_CO_IMEP_15 - "IMEP: META - T - Main (Flat Files)".

 The event PC_CO_IMEP_32 triggers the process chain PC_CO_IMEP_32 - "IMEP: META - T - Main (CC postings) (Flat Files)".

Either process chain will load the user's file data into IMEP BW application.

 User can view the history of loaded files by clicking  on "History" icon.

 The user can exit the program by clicking on "Exit" icon.

Further explanations for program ZBW_IMEP003

Program reads Global Filter to define Selective Deletion Perimeter. Depending on selected flow (and, for RCS and Solvay, selected period), Perimeter will be established reading different entries in Global Filter:

Further explanations for program ZBW_IMEP004

All DSOs and Cubes listed in the program variant will be cleared of all M-2 data and older, leaving only Current and Previous Month.


Record Keeping

Business requires 3 years of historical data in addition to current year. (Y to Y-3)

Cubes contain data since 2017. Historical data beyond this is stored in Propagation/Business level.

The number of years to keep can be maintained in Global Filter (C_GLBFILT) masterdata (Stream IMEP / Rule RCS_HISTO or SOLV_HISTO/ Counter '001')

Older data are deleted from DSOs/Cubes at the end of the RCS and Solvay process chains (PC_CO_IMEP_01/08/20/25).


Data availability for go live (01.2017)

From Solvay PF1 : 2014 + 2015 + 2016

From RCS WP1: 2015 + 2016 (2014 was not available anymore as year was archived in WP1)



Recurring procedure

Reload data on a given period

Warning n°1: Cost Center Postings Business data (DBCOPP06, DBCOPP16) must always be loaded after Current and Historical Business data (DBCOPP01, DBCOPP04). Failure to do so will lead to incorrect CC Postings data. (PS: The method below avoids this issue, but be careful if you only reload from Business Level without launching the Process Chain)

Warning n°2: A "Delete Overlapping DTPs" step is applied on all Cubes reloaded daily. Always reload Current Month M (and Previous Month M-1 in closure period) in a separate load from the historical data, otherwise the data will be duplicated the next day as the Delete Overlapping cannot remove the data from a larger perimeter.

  1. Update data in C_GLBFILT (Stream = IMEP). You need to change the period in ***_LOAD/1 and ***_DEL/1 to the period you are using. 
    Depending on what you are reloading, *** is either SOLV or RCS:
  2. The previous step is usually done by program ZBW_IMEP003 when the Process Chain starts. Thus, you need to disable the variant used in the PC to keep the period entered manually.
    To do so, open the Process Chain you will use for the reload (PC_CO_IMEP_01 for Solvay and PC_CO_IMEP_08 for RCS) and check the first program.
    Variant will always be ZVAR_PER_***:

    Open the variant to Change it, check the "Initialization?" button:

    Save and leave. Don't forget to come back to uncheck the button once you are done.
  3. Run the Process Chain using Function Module (SE37) RSPC_API_CHAIN_START, keep an eye on the process.
