Copying historical data into planinng area

Hai,
"For performance reasons, SAP recommends that you copy historical data from infocube to a timeseries instead of reading it directly from infocube."
Please correct me if I am wrong,
timeseries in the above context is the planning area.
I create a generic export datasource from MSDP_ADMIN giving it a name "9aplan" and it should generate an infsource in RSA1> infosources> Unassigned nodes as 9aplan.
From here on, how can I load the history from the infocube lets say, sales, to the infosource?
Should I create a transactional(realtime) infocube and then load data to it from both SALES and 9aplan?
Then how can the system access this cube when planning? where is it specified?
Thank you.

Hi Vishu,
A Planning Area is the structure - you need to initialise the "timeseries" against a planning version which will allow the data in keyfigures to be stored.
Loading data from the infocube to planning area - timeseries does not require any BW structure. Just use transaction /SAPAPO/TSCUBE to copy the Sales history data from the cube to the required keyfigure in the planning area (for the given version - most often being 000).
Hope this answers your question.
Thanks,
Somnath

Reloading Historical Data into Cube: 0IC_C03...

Dear All,
I'm working on SAP BW 7.3 and I have five years of historical data being loaded into InfoCube: 0IC_C03 (Material Stocks/Movements (as of 3.0B)) and the deltas are also scheduled (DataSources: 2LIS_03_BF & 2LIS_03_UM) for the InfoCube. I have new business requirement to reload the entire historical data into InfoCube with addition of "Fiscal Quarter" and I do not have a DSO in the data flow. I know its a bit tricky InfoCube (Inventory Management) to work on and reloading the entire historical data can be challenging.
1. How to approach this task, what steps should I take?
2. Drop/Delete entire data from InfoCube and then delete Setup Tables and refill these and then run "Repair Full Load", is this they way?
3. What key points should I keep in mind, as different BO reports are already running and using this InfoCube?
4. Should I run "Repair Full Load" requests for all DataSources( 2LIS_03_BX &2LIS_03_BF & 2LIS_03_UM) ?
I will appreciate any input.
Many thanks!

Hi Tariq,
Unfortunately, you will need some downtime to execute a stock initialization in a live production system. Otherwise you cannot guarantee the data integrity. There are however certainly ways to minimize it. Please see SAP Note 753654 - How can downtime be reduced for setup table update. You can dramatically reduce the downtime to distinguish between closed and open periods. The closed periods can be updated retrospectively.
To make it more concrete, you could consider e.g. the periods prior to 2014 as "closed". You can then do the initialization starting from January 1, 2014. This will save you a lot of downtime. Closed periods can be uploaded retrospectively and do not require downtime.
Re. the marker update,please have a look at the document Re-initialization of the Material Stocks/Movements cube (0IC_C03) with 2LIS_03_BF, 2LIS_03_BX and 2LIS_03_UM in BW 7.x, step 10, 11, 12 and 13 contain important information.
Re. the steps, it looks OK for me but please double check with the document Re-initialization of the Material Stocks/Movements cube (0IC_C03) with 2LIS_03_BF, 2LIS_03_BX and 2LIS_03_UM in BW 7.x.
Please have a look at the following document for more background information around inventory management scenarios:
How to Handle Inventory Management Scenarios in BW (NW2004)
Last but not least, you might want to have a look at the following SAP Notes:
SAP Note 436393 - Performance improvement for filling the setup tables;
SAP Note 602260 - Procedure for reconstructing data for BW.
Best regards,

Copy historical data from one material to another

I have added a new material in the planning hierarchy and need to copy historical data from an existing material to this new material.
For achieving the same I carried out below steps:
In the forecasting view of the new material I added the existing material as reference material: consumption, also added the reference plant, validity period and multiplier.
But then too system is not copying the historical data of that material to the new material..I cannot see any data in MC94 or in the infostructure.
Please let me know where am I going wrong or if I am missing any setting.....
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sonal

Dear ,
System will not copy the Reference material consumption to new material consumption -Total Consuption tab .If you maintain those filed like
1.Reference material consumption
2.Ref.Plant Consumptuion
3.Date To
4.Multipler
5.Similar Period Indicator -M/W ( some time if you maintain the frist 4 option but not same period indicator , system will not consider the consumption ) .
Based on the above set up , when you execute the Forecast ( Indiviaully -MM02-Forcaste Tab or MP38 collectively or through SOP) , forcast programme will use the historical values of Refe.Material and project the new material\s forcasted demand as per your forecast period ( 2 months or 3 motnhs etc ) in the forecasting view .
System will not copy the Historical valu to total consumption tab of the new material ok .
If you need to copy the consumption of old material to new material , you have to use report RMDATIND, MVER_DI or BAPI_MATERIAL_MAINTAINDATA_RT .For more details please refer the OSS Note 200547 - Program: Direct input for consumption values
More over why do you need to copy when u have facility to have refence in Forecasting view !
Just chek the above points wht i have mentioned and execute forecast .Do not forget to keep same period indicaotor-M/W what ever .
Test a sample and procced .
Hope it is clear .
Regards

How to copy actual data into current forecast period

Hi gurus.
I need your guidance on how to copy actual data into current forecast period.
This is my case. Let's say I have the following figures for my actuals:
January 2007 Actual = $110,000.
February 2007 Actual = $120,000.
March 2007 Actual = $80,000.
April 2007 Actual = $100,000.
Now, my user want to choose any month as the basis for her forecast for the remaining periods. Let's say, she wanted to choose April 2007 Actual as the basis for the remaining forecast periods, so I should be able to display the following figures in my planning folder:
May 2007 Forecast = $100,000.
June 2007 Forecast = $100,000.
July 2007 Forecast = $100,000.
August 2007 Forecast = $100,000.
September 2007 Forecast = $100,000.
October 2007 Forecast = $100,000.
November 2007 Forecast = $100,000.
December 2007 Forecast = $100,000.
Can someone guide me on how to do that?
Points will be given to good and best answers.
Thanks.

Hi Fulham,
Technical answer:
First, you need to allow your user to indicate wich month is the reference for the copy. I suggest you to add a new key figure in your actual layout (a 'customizing' layout) that your user will use as a flag:
January 2007 Actual = $110,000
January 2007 Flag = 0
February 2007 Actual = $120,000
February 2007 Flag = 0
March 2007 Actual = $80,000
March 2007 Flag = 0
April 2007 Actual = $100,000
April 2007 <b>Flag = 1</b>
<i>(Help to a fox or an abap exit you can check that only one month is 'flagged')</i>
Then, in the corresponding level for the data input, you use a function exit in Abap, which will:
- read the previous customizing layout help to API_SEMBPS_GETDATA so you can get the flagged month and its actual amount ($100,000)
- generate the news rows into the table XTH_DATA which will be automatically posted in the level with the actual amount
Is that clear?

Copy access data into oracle with form builder 9i

hello
i need to copy/import data and tables from an MS access database into oracle 9i database. the situation is each time i login to my forms applicatin i will need to do that. any idea pls...
the access db is frequently updated. so when i login into my forms application it needs to be reimport the data from access db. can any1 pls help me?

To my opinion, there are 3 potential approaches :
1. rewrite the application, that data are stored directly in the oracle database
or the program writes flat files somewhere to the file system which are able getting
imported from the target instance on daily basis or job driven;
2. The "Access-driven approach" : link oracle tables into the MS-Access application
using an ODBC-connection and build a macro in Access which is exporting the stuff to
the target instance; in order to do so, the Oracle Client and ODBC-Drivers needs to
get installed on the PC where MS-Access is started to start the exportation process
(which is probably yours).
You may then create tables in the target instance and link them from within Access
using ODBC as the datasource
3. The "Oracle driven approach". explained in detail here, never tried it, but maybe
worth a look
http://www.orafaq.com/node/60
Basically, install the Oracle Software on a PC, configure an ODBC-Connection and start a
Listener there;
The target instance (which may no run on a UNIX system) is now able to commuincate
with the local running listener on your PC which itself is instantiating a connection to
the Access "Database" using the ODBC-Connection.
In this way, your PC acts as a database server from the Oracle Net point of view.
In theory, this could even work, depending on the ability to connect from the
instance server directly to the given IP of your PC (Security ?? Hmmmz)

Copy foreign data into debit memo

Hello Gurus,
I have a requirement in which client is asking us to copy the foreign data into debit memo. Kindly help me out of this problem.
As per as current Process:
First they are doing OR-Del-Invoice. In Invoice, Foreign data is getting copied correctly from delivery.After that they are creating debit memo request w.r.t Original invoice.Then they are creating debit memo w.r.t to debit memo request. During creation of Debit memo, Foreign data is not getting copied. But client is asking us to copy the foreign data into debit memo. Kindly helping me out of this problem.
Regards
Soumendu

Hi Kumar,
Yes i have already checked the copy control between VTFA and VTFF. Normally in invoice, foreign data is copied from delivery.if we go to Header of VTFL ,Then there we find determination of export data fields, where system copied the foreign data from delivery to invoice. But debit memo is not created w.r.t delivery. Here debit memo is created w.r.t to debit memo request. So if we go to copy control, then we don't get any field where system copy the foreign data into debit memo.
Correct me if i am wrong.

Copy & Paste data into Planning form in Workspace 11.1.2.2

Hi there!
I'm dealing with a weird problem with Planning 11.1.2.2 over workspace. I cannot paste copied data into data forms (whether I copy from an Excel sheet, a file, or another cell of the same form).
However, when I access Planning directly through :8300/HyperionPlanning/LogOn.jsp (old-styled Planning), pasting data works fine.
I tried using Ctrl + V and menu buttons, and didn't work.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Not sure which web browser you were working on, but this is from the 11.1.2.2 Known issues for Planning

Hope this helps..!!

Copying the data into internal table without internal table

Hello experts.
i have two internal tables . itab1 without headerline and itab2 with headerline. itab1 has 10 fields and itab2 has 2 fields.
BEGIN OF itab,
lifnr LIKE lfa1-lifnr,
ktokk LIKE lfa1-ktokk,
name1 LIKE lfa1-name1,
sortl LIKE lfa1-sortl,
pstlz LIKE lfa1-pstlz,
ort01 LIKE lfa1-ort01,
land1 LIKE lfa1-land1,
j_1ipanno LIKE j_1imovend-panno,
end of itab.
DATA: itab1 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF itab.
data: begin of itab2 occurs 0,
lifnr like j_1imovend-lifnr,
j_1ipanno like j_1imovend-j_1ipanno,
end of itab2.
now i want to move the data from itab2-j_1ipanno into itab1-j_1ipanno.
Both the tables ie itab1 and itab2 has lifnr data in them .
so in itab2 j_1ipanno has pan number for the lifnr( vendors) so i need to populate this pannumbers in itab1 also by comparing
the lifnrs in two tables. where ever the lifnr of itab2 is equal to itab1-lifnr then this pannumber should be placed there.
so pls tell me how to do that. lifnr in both the tables are the same.
thanks for all the replies.

Hi Shiva,
            Try this one..
data: begin of itab.
   lifnr LIKE lfa1-lifnr,
    ktokk LIKE lfa1-ktokk,
name1 LIKE lfa1-name1,
sortl LIKE lfa1-sortl,
pstlz LIKE lfa1-pstlz,
ort01 LIKE lfa1-ort01,
land1 LIKE lfa1-land1,
j_1ipanno LIKE j_1imovend-panno,
end of itab.
data: wa like line of itab1.
data: begin of itab occurs 0,
        lifnr like j_1imovend-lifnr,
        j_1ipanno like j_1imovend-j_1ipanno,
end of itab2.
data: wa1 like line of itab2.
loop at itab1 into wa.
itab2-lifnr = wa-lifnr.
itab2-j_1ipanno = wa-j_1ipanno
append itab2.
endloop.

Copy Organization Data into People Group Field?

Hi All,
In Assignment screen,we have organization and business group fields.when i enter data in organization filed like 'India.Mum' same data needs to copy in business group field when i use tab.
Is it possible through form personalization? If yes, please give me your suggestions:
Thanks,
Visu

Yeah, it's very much possible using personalization. Just open the personalize screen, give a name to the personalization, choose trigger event as when-validate-record of the assignment block, put a condition when you would like it to fire, in the actions tab enter the details what should be done (in this case assign a value to a field).
If you want the basic details about personalization, refer to the following metalink docs.
279034.1 (most useful), 456407.1, 456407.1, 421010.1
But I wonder why would you like to change the person's business group based upon his organization. Organization is always a subordinate of BG. Thus you can have many organizations under a BG. And in that case changing BG with Organization does not make sense.
Make sure that your design is correct before going ahead.
Thanks.

Upload PR/PO Historical data

Hi
How to upload the SAP PR/PO historical data from one system to another SAP system
I have all relevant data table down loads from old system. Now I need to upload this PR/PO historical data into New SAP system
there is no link between Old SAP system and New SAP system, both are owned by different orgnizations/owners
Immediate replies will be appreciated
Thanks & Regards
Raju

Hi Raju,
Loading of PO's with transactions is problematic, since the follow-on documents can't be loaded. If it is completely closed PO and you load it to the new system, you shall block it - otherwise it will be considered in SAP.
If you load a PO with GR > IR, the GR's can't be loaded, which means the invoice posted against this PO will remain unbalanced. You can of course close the PO by using MR11, but I think it is much easier just to skip this PO and register the coming invoice directly in FI.
If you load a PO with IR > GR, the IR's can be loaded, which means that the coming GR will make the PO remain unbalanced. So here I would suggest skipping this order too and registering the coming GR without reference to the PO (mvt 501).
In all my projects we only migrated completely "naked" PO's and besides, tried to minimise the number of such orders - let the buyers purchase more and complete the orders before the cut-over date - they can do it. In such case the number of open orders will normally be that low that it won't justify automatic migration. On the other hand, enetering the orders in the new system manually will be a good training for the buyers.
If the reason for loading the closed PO's is having purchasing statisics in the new system, then this can be done very easily by updating the corresponding LIS tables directly (S011, S012). Another tip is to load the data both to the version 000 (actual data) and to some other version in these tables, so that you will always be able to copy them to 000 again whenever you need to reload LIS for some reason.

can anybody tell me step by step how to upload 12 months historical data into SAP R/3, so that we can excute forecast based planning for a material?
Thanks

Edited by: Csaba Szommer on May 12, 2011 9:57 AM

i need to to pull data in bw from r/3 for frieght rates
example for rate is from source to dest(in rows) and on the basis of this we have counditon types(in columns) which we will put in coloums and on the base of those cound type we will get cummulated value of master data rate.
like
source dest rate(based on coundition types)
now in r/3 some coundition type are changed to new ones or we can say merged to new ones, now my question for new one i can pull no problem but what i'll do for the historical master data like coundition type in 2006 are diff and 2007 is diff
but they mapped in each othe

Upload of historical data from legacy system

Dear forum
We are running standard SOP with transaction MC88 in ECC6.0.
We are doing forecasting on material/plant level, based on historical data (we create the sales plan from transaction MC88).
Now, the problem is that we are introducing new products into SOP, but there is no historical data in SAP for those materials.
Is there any way we can import historical data into SAP from legacy system, so that SOP would take this data into account when calculating the forecast?
Note: we do not want to build anything in flexible planning. Just want to check whether or not it is possible to import historical values from a legacy system, to use as historical data in SAP.
Thanks in advance
Lars

Thanks,
But that will not help us.
Any ohter suggestions out there?

Historical Data migration

Hello Experts!
Our client is switching from a SAP 4.7 to SAP ECC 6.0. We're going to move all open items (customers, vendors), the assets, master data...etc via LSMW.
One question remains: What happens with the historical data? They are not willing to keep the old systems just for consulting data (this would generate a yearly fee to host the systems). The client has IXOS as archiving tool.
My question is rather if it is possible to make a huge copy of all transactional data or not.
thanks for the aswers.

FX

Hi,
Your situation is a bit unclear... If you are going to upgrade your SAP system, why do you have to migrate the data via LSMW?
