Hi BW experts
Below you can find an explaination of keydate reporting with time-dependent master data "Warengruppe" (material group, 0MATL_GROUP) for characteristic 0MATERIAL. Source: Groundschool SAP: TBW42_2.
As you can see material EEE became valid starting on 1st. February 2000. It has been assigned to material group "Chemikalien" (chemicals).
In the fact table you can see the DIM-ID and a fact for February 2000.
If you report with key date 15. January 2000 and material group as only object (navigation attribut) and period as time characteristic the scan shows this result: chemicals only have sales of 200 USD for 02/2000. The fact table shows sales of 300 USD for 02/2000.
I would have expected 300 USD.
Is the result of 200 USD due to the reason that EEE and its master data did not exist on key date 15. January 2000?
