0FI_GL_6 and when 0FI_GL_4

0FI_GL_4 Extractor works in different way . Init and delta is based on system date .So only one delta is possible in each day . This is applicable for older SAP PI release until 2004.1 and there is a OSS note to enable minute base delta. Please refer to OSS note 991429.

You can obtain detail information of 0FI_GL_4 extractor here.

In BI we extract 2 types of General Ledger information

• Opening Balances (once a year, starts only on 1.1.2011) Take from 0FI_GL_4.
• Line items postings (daily) Take from 0FI_GL_6.

If you have ECC version 5 above, you can opt to use 0FI_GL_10 for transaction figures (balance carry forward) and 0FI_GL_14 for line items. If you have EhP3 upgrade on your ECC, there is a new option to use 0FI_GL_20 for transaction figures and 0FI_GL_40 for line item. The downside for 0FI_GL_20 is this data source has after image delta and therefore a DSO is required to enable delta. For  0FI_GL_40, it is by default not delta enabled  because ist specifically created for the Remote Cube.
