Extraction based on transaction

[Former Member]

Hello gurus.

I have a question related to extraction of data.

We have a Z transaction (with selection screen) that collects specific data, performs calculations etc. and displays it in ALV grid. What we need to do is to get all that displayed data and extract it into BW.

The program under the transaction consists of 5 includes each of wich is related to different steps of the transaction:

1. Data declaration
2. Get data from transaction's selection screen (Vendor number, period etc., selected modes and so on)
3. and 4 - calculations

   5. Forming of ALV grid and displaying data.

What is the best way to extract this data to BW?

Is there any "standard" fiture that allows you to build extractor on transaction?

Thanks in advance.

PS: answer is needed ASAP

here are a couple of options:

1. copy the ALV data to a Z-table => create a view-based extractor on this table

2. use an InfoSet based extractor => the program behind your transaction should be modified to support this (needs two "specific" comment lines - check for more info here)

3. convert your transaction to a function => develop as function-based extractor
