When the data source is not readily available in the Business content. Even if the Business content data source is available and it is already being used up and if we want to simulate the same kind of extractor, we can go for generic extraction.

The T-code for creating Generic Extraction is RSO2.

We can create 3 types of data sources using generic extraction

1. Transaction data
2. Master data attribute
3. Text
