Can't assign an infoobject using master data attribute of

I've added in 0purch_group to my cube and I want to assign it using the master data attribute selection but it doesn't bring back anything to choose from. the attribute is 0mat_plant_purch_group and I've made it navigational. any ideas?

So do you say that you dont have mat_plant included in ur cube.
Then what are trying to get into the field with out a source field. How do you want to fill the value if you dont have mat_plant - i mean which of 100 values of matplant and attribute values should be populated.

Using "Master Data Attribute of" in the Update Rule

Hi,
In my update rule of, i want to replace the master data attribute of my characteristic instead of using its source characteristic. For example. InfoObject ZSTORECODE has an attribute ZSTORENAME. My objective is to use the Store Name instead of a Store Code.
I initially thought of using "Master Data Attribute of" in the update rules. However, I always end of with having an error of "No Values."

Hope you guys can help me with this!
Thanks,

Using master data attribute in BEx Query u0096 formula

Hello,
I want to use the master data attribute (Eg. Customer master 0CUSTOMER, 0ALTITUDE (Geo Location Height)) in query formula calculation. How do I do this?
Please help me.
Thank you
Subbu

Hi Subramaniam,
You can definately use the master data attributes in the formula calculation if that is a numeric value (logically u can use a characteristic in formula).
for e.g Net weight from 0MATERIAL can be used through formula variable in formula but Color is a characteristic and there is no point in using that in a formula.

How to use Master Data Attribute of in Update Rule's Formula

Hi experts.
In update rule, there is an option to use Master Data Attribute of. However, due to user requirement, I need to use that in Formula instead.
Field to update:
Profit Center
Logic:
If Cost Center is empty
Then Profit Center
Else
Master Data Attribute of Cost Center
I use the following formula at the moment but it is not 100% correct.
IF( Cost Center = '', Profit Center, Cost Center )
Appreciate if anyone could help me out.
Thanks!

Hi,
The easier thing to do will be to use a Update Routine.
Logic will be as follows :-
If Cost center iss initial.
Result = Profit Center
else.
result = Cost center.
endif.

Using Master Data attribute and compounded IO in Transformation

Good day
I have the following issue in a transformation.
I want to u201CRead Master Datau201D from IO u2018ZSIDCONTRu2019 to display data for an attribute u201CContract Durationu201D (Key Figure).
IO u2018ZSIDVEHCNu2019 is also compounded to master data IO u2018ZSIDCONTRu2019.
The Source field of Rule = field u201CID_CONTACTu201D
In my transformation my Rule Type = Read Master Data and the u201CFrom Attrib. ofu201D field = ZSIDCONTR and the IO Assignment is also = u2018ZSIDCONTRu2019.
If I test this rule then the following error message is displayed:
Characteristic ZSIDVEHCN compounded to ZSIDCONTR is missing in
transformation source
How do I add the compounded characteristic ZSIDVEHCN to the transformation rule?
Thanks in advance.
Cj

Hi,
You should add the InfoObject ZSIDVEHCN to your target and define a mapping rule to fill it up from your datasource.
Only when both objects are available in your mapping you will be able to perform a master data selection (since they are compounded).
If this object is not available in your source, you should define a mapping rule to fill it up (constant? ...)
Hope this helps.

Assigning InfoObject with Master Data as InfoProvider

Hi,
In BW 3.x we used to assign the InfoObject with Master Data as InfoProvider only if we want to perform Query on that InfoObject.
But in BI 2004's, is it must to assign InfoObject with Master Data as an InfoProvider???
Because when I create the Transformation to load Text or Attribute Data, the system automatically assigs that InfoObject as an InfoProvider.
Is there a way to skip using that InfoObject as an InfoProvider during Tranformation if I do not want to perform any reporting on it.
Thanks,

Hello Sesh,
No. It is not possible.
However for easy grouping, create another infoarea and attach all report relevent infoproviders under this infoarea.

Can routine replace "master data attribute of" update rule for performance?

Hi all,
We are working on CRM-BW data modeling, We have to look up agent master data for agent level and position for each transaction data. So now we are using "Master data attribute of" update rule. Can we use routine instead of "Master data Attribute of" ? Will it improve the loading performance? Since we have to load 1 lack transaction records , where as we have 20,000 agent details in agent master data.My understanding is, for each record in data package the system has to go to master data table and bring the agent details & store in cubes. Say one agent created 10 transactions, then this option "master data attribute of" will read the agent master data 10 times even though we are going to pull same details for all 10 transactions from master data. if we use routine, we can pull the agent details& storing in internal table removing all duplicates and in update routine we can read the internal table.
Will this way improve performance?
let me know if you need further info?
Thanks in advance.
Arun Thangaraj

Hi,
your thinking is absolutely right!
I don't recommend to use the standard attribute derivation since it will perform a SELECT to the database for EACH record.
Better implement a sorted table in your start routine; fill it with SELECT <fields> FROM <master_data_table> FOR ALL ENTRIES OF datapak WHERE OBJVERS = 'A' etc...
In your routine perform a READ itab ... BINARY SEARCH.... I believe that you won't be able to go faster...
hope this helps...

Transofmration : Master data attribute

Hello,
I am on NW 2004S BI and ECC 6.0.
In the transformation rule types, i can not find "Master data attribute of" .
If this is the case in this version,in the infocube, how to load the data for a particular IO, which is an attribute of another IO ?
In the older versions, in the update rules, i can select either source, constant, master data attribute of,routine etc ..
Any advice?
Regards,
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
We have "Master Data Attribute" as a Rule type of Transformation in NW2004S BI also.
Where in the previous version BW3.x you have option to create the Master Data Read Rule only between
DataTarget to DataTarget
or
Infosource to DataTarget.
But, The New Enhancement of NW2004S BI is, Even you can read the Master Data Attribute in Transformation have builded between DataTarget (InfoCube or ODS) and DataSource also.
How to assign the InfoObject for Master Data Read?
Select Target Field.
Select the source InfoObject from where you want to read Master Data.
When you have to choose the "Master Data Read" as the Rule Type. Then You will get the entry block next to Rule Type.
Click F4, then it will give the Attribute automatically.
Hope this helps you.

How can we generate a report in master data?

hi,
can we generate a report in master data,if yes pl give me the procedure, i am un able to get it.
thanks & regards
venkat

Hi,
Once we make the MAster infoobject as the data target, then we can create the report on the master data. to make the IO as Data target , you just need to mention the tick mark for Infoprovide check box in the MAster data /Texts tab page of the IO.
help says that:
InfoProvider:
This indicator specifies whether the characteristic is an InfoProvider.
If you want to use a characteristic as an InfoProvider, you have to assign an InfoArea to the characteristic. The system displays the characteristic in the InfoProvider tree in the Data Warehousing Workbench. You can use the characteristic as an InfoProvider in reporting and analysis.
You can only use a characteristic as an InfoProvider if the characteristic contains texts or attributes.
You can define queries for the characteristic (more precisely, for the master data of the characteristic) if you are using a characteristic as an InfoProvider. In this case, on the Attributes tabstrip, you are able to switch-on dual-level navigation attributes (navigation attributes for navigation attributes) for this characteristic in its role as InfoProvider.

Can we generate a report on master data alone without Info cube?

Could some one let me know whether
Can we generate a report on master data alone in BEx without Info cube?
Thanks in advance.

yes you can generate a report .
use the master data infoobject and insert that infoobject as a infoprovider and design a query using this infoprovider and view your query on this master data in Bex Query...

Defination of Department to assign in Cost Center Master Data

Hi Experts,
Can you anyone please suggest me reg, "Defination of Department to assign in Cost Center Master Data".
because, My client needs Department wise Cost Centers balance.
Pls explain in detail..
Thanks in advance..
Regards,
Balaji Bhonsle

In my (4.7) version there is a field for "Department". This field is nothing more than a text field. You can populate it with whatever you wish and use that field in a variety of reports. One use would be to enter the legacy department number when going live. Another would be to group several cost centers in some desired way. However, if you are looking to group cost centers, the cost center grouping as previously suggested is a far superior choice normally since you can create many different groups whereas this field is limited to just one choice. Another grouping available for reports is the Category, which is a one letter designation. Be careful with this though, because it may be used to drive functionality as well. Like P in my category implementation means "Production" and thus allows labor activities as a feature.
I hope this helps.

Modelling 1:N relationships using Master Data

Hello All,
I was trying to store the Bill of Material data in BW and was confused as to how model this as master data. The bill of material is basically a BOM number with a number of components in it. i.e. a 1:N relationship between the BOM and the components.
I was thinking of modelling this by compounding the Component (which has quite a number of attributes) with the BOM.
But practically the scenario is such that, today the BOM contains certain components, but someone can delete a component later in R3. I want this information to be reflected as well in BW, but i suppose BW will not take care of this in the above compounding technique.
What is the best way to model such a scenario in BW. Is there a trick or is the only way to do this is do some checking in the update routines and then delete from the master data tables.
Please let me know your opinions.
Best Regards,
Dabre

Hello All,
Does anyone have a similar kind of experience in modelling a 1:N kind of relationship using master data ? And where the N values could change or be deleted ?
Please share your experiences.
