The consistent data extraction in the delta procedure is possible for line items from General Ledger Accounting (FI-GL) and selected subledgers (Accounts Receivable (FI-AR) and Accounts Payable (FI-AP)) and tax reporting with effect from SAP BW 3.1 Content. The extraction procedure delivered with the business content for SAP BW 2.0B, which is based on the DataSources 0FI_AR_3 and 0FI_AP_3, can be replaced. This is described in note 410797.
