Assignment of Source System ID in SAP BW

If a characteristic ZCUST_ID is coming from multiple source systems and is also defined as Master Data bearing InfoObject in SAP BW and is compounded with Source System ID (0SOURSYSTEM), then it becomes necessary to do Source System Assignment in SAP BW to let the system know which system the value for this characteristic ZCUST_ID is coming from.


This is true for even the delivered InfoObjects and even if that field is mapped to another field in several SAP source systems.

All you have to do is follow these steps to create the Source Systems ID’s and do the assignment.

1)      In the Administrator Workbench, choose Tools  à Assignment Source System to Source System ID.

2)      Choose Create.

3)    Enter the logical system name and a description, and confirm you entries (in this example the name 
       would be BIDCL100 or DEVCL100).

4)   In the Source System ID column enter the ID name that you also entered in BW1 for the corresponding source system. (In this example it would be ID 01 or ID 02).
5)    Save your entries.
