Which Objects Can you associate with a Source field in the Characteristics folder Of an Open ODS view type "Facts"? (2)

Question

Options

• AOpen ODS view type Master Data for Hierarchies
• BOpen ODS view type Master Data for Attrbutes
• CSAP BW InfOObjects type Characteristic
• DSAP BW InfoObjects type Key Figure

• A
  8% (2)
• B
  88% (22)
• D
  4% (1)

Explanation

In an Open ODS view of type "Facts," the Characteristics folder holds descriptive/dimensional fields, so the Source must reference objects that carry characteristic master data - either an SAP BW InfoObject typed as a Characteristic (C) or an Open ODS view typed "Master Data for Attributes" (B), which is the virtual equivalent. Both supply the attribute-style metadata that belongs in that folder.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (Master Data for Hierarchies) - Hierarchy-type Open ODS views model tree/parent-child structures, not flat attribute assignments, so they cannot serve as a source for a Characteristics field.
• D (InfoObjects type Key Figure) - Key Figures are numeric measures and belong in the Key Figures folder, not the Characteristics folder; associating one as a characteristic source would be a type mismatch.

Memory tip: Think "Characteristics need Characteristic-flavored sources." You have two flavors: the classic BW kind (InfoObject: Characteristic) and the modern virtual kind (Open ODS view: Master Data for Attributes). Hierarchies are tree structures, and Key Figures are numbers - neither describes a characteristic dimension.
