Each end of year, the main BW master data (about the structure) which are not time-dependent need to be freeze = no more loading from ECC or flat file on these main master data.
And to avoid the impact of the new evolution scheduled for next year on the yearly closing a freeze is applied to block the loading to allow the yearly closing period with the same scope done for the year and not with inputs for next yeart, for some master data, the loading are freeze in the middle of December until end of January.
Process : Finance Data team (tania.faria@solvay.com from SU MAC Data, KM & Reporting) have to inform BW team about the frozen period and BW team update one records of the global filter.
Stream = Global
RULE = SFREEZE
Low = start date of the freeze in the format YYYYMMDD
High = end date of the freeze in the format YYYYMMDD
The process chain will have the decision flow to have abap code to
