Need to maintain same data in ECC and MDM

Hi ,
Could you please tel me why we need to maintain same data in MDM and ECC seperately.

HI Ramyadixit,
It is important to understand that MDM and ERP do not replace eachother rather complement each other.
Using SAPu2019s ERP suite as the foundation technology for an MDM implementation is problematic because, despite all the positives of ERP, flexibility is usually not associated with SAP systems.
SAP ERP doesnu2019t offer the tools to manage master data in the ways required by todayu2019s complex organizations.SAP ERP isnu2019t designed for active management of critical master data. Specifically, SAPu2019s data matching capabilities are too basic. Its search functions might be good at u201Cexact matchu201D but they are not as strong at the kind of u201Cfuzzy searchingu201D that is so important in uncovering duplicate entries with subtle differences. For the same reason, users are far more likely to create new duplicate customer records in SAP, and thereu2019s no way to create a u201Cgolden copyu201D of master data for use across multiple heterogeneous systems, or to maintain survivorship rules for overlapping data from multiple systems.
These problems are all compounded when you have more than a single SAP instance, or different ERPs altogether, which is a very real occurrence within large corporations that have grown through mergers & acquisitions. Even without multiple ERP instances, most mid-size and larger national firms are likely to pull data from many different systems. In fact, 10 to 30 source systems is not uncommon, and heterogeneous environments are now the norm. The siloed approach to data management whereby customer-facing data is in one system, product data in another, asset data in a third, and so forth, really complicates the integration of processes, data and workflow.
A dedicated MDM hub provides a multitude of benefits not attainable with an SAP ERP-based master data approach. First, a dedicated MDM system is just that -- dedicated to delivering the best possible manageability of your master data across the enterprise, and not just within your ERP technology stack. The focus of any high-quality, enterprise-grade MDM hub implementation is going to be on getting master data right; creating a single source of truth, with each distinct customer, product, etc. represented only once in the hub. This means you can maintain accurate, complete, timely and consistent master data through both data governance and hub technology, with robust data quality and matching capabilities.
MDM and ERP need to coexist for instance as one solution does not replace the other. From an investment perspective, it is important to leverage existing technologies such as data quality, extract-transfer-load (ETL) and data integration tools, middleware, business process management and workflow.
To summarise, the top five reasons not to master your data in SAP ERP are:
1. SAP ERP isnu2019t flexible enough.
2. Master data is different and canu2019t be proactively managed within an SAP ERP system.
3. SAPu2019s ERP products werenu2019t designed for active management of master data.
4. Mastering data in an ERP system is much more difficult with more than one instance or when different ERPs are used together.
5. An MDM hub creates a workspace between an organizationu2019s transactional and analytic systems meaning they fix it once and then extend it for use in back office systems and the data warehouse.
Hope it helps!
Thanks,
Ravi

Process order dates in ECC and APO are not matching.

Hi
We are sending Planning order to ECC there we convert to process order.I see there is diffrent start and end dates in APO and ECC.
But I see in CCR report I get error message material ABC has a different receipt date in SAP APO and SAP R/3.
I am not able to reconcile there.Message says
you should deactivate the receipt date comparison. Alternatively, you can activate the order end date comparison if the primary product is assigned to the final operation.
I am not sure how to do this.Can anyone guide how to do the same.Also what is the root cause of issue.Why I am getting this message.
Regards
R

In APO, if the receipt date of the primary product deviates from the end date of the last activity of the order (for example, due to an offset or scheduling at the end of a fixed block), the receipt date always identifies this as inconsistent.
You cannot rectify inconsistencies of this type by using the reconcile provided in the CIF compare/reconcile function.
In this case, you should deactivate the receipt date comparison. Alternatively, you can activate the order end date comparison if the primary product is assigned to the final operation.
You can use the business add-in /SAPAPO/CIF_DELTA3 Enhancements Comparison Report to deactivate individual comparisons.
Check for the Note 645597 in which you can find example coding with which you can activate the order end date comparison.
Also check notes 815509

Same dates for GA and GR in ATP

Hi All,
This is my very first post. I have a situation where for an Inbound delivery. I should have 2 days difference in Goods arrival and goods receipt in plant. For some reason system is showing the same dates for Goods arrival and goods Receipt. Can someone help me what all tolook for?
Many thanks
YS

ATO Items/ Models have significant complex requirements and behavior when ATP check is called. While this is handled appropriately in ATP from OM interface, direct ATP Inquiry either from APS responsibility or similar form in OM--> Scheduling menu option.
I'll highly suggest not to use either of these ATP Inquiry forms for anything related to CTO (ATO, PTO etc) and only use OM UI for such availability checks. This is by design unless Oracle makes significant changes to how these forms are built, please note there is no configurator support from these 2 forms for similar reasons.

Trouble maintaining original "date taken" info and metadata when exporting TIFFs from original CR2 files.

When exporting TIFFs (from original RAW), I noticed my metadata said the "date created" was the day of export. I want to be able to access the date the original image was taken as opposed to the day I exported it. Is there a way to maintain original date of image taken in my info? I couldn't seem to find it after I exported my TIFFs...

I just tested this with LR 5.5 Mac OS 10.9.3 and it works correctly for me.
To troubleshoot your problem:
1. Which version of LR and which platform (Mac, Windows)?
2. Which tool or command are you using to examine Date Created of the exported TIFF?
3. Upload a sample TIFF showing the problem to Dropbox or similar and post the URL here. This will allow us to take a look in detail.

Same data wire (source and sink are listed as "datalog file reference of") will not connect

I am trying to write a short program that will convert a string spreadsheet file into a datalog file with the numbers turned back into numbers. I have a case structure for each type of spreadsheet (different types per columns and different number of columns). I use a 'for loop' to process all records (rows). And I use a 'sequence structure' to individually process each column item into its original format (string or number), then group together into a bundle and then write the results to the datalog file format.
The first two (case structures) worked but the second pair of case structures would not allow me to connect the datalog file reference number from the 'write to datalog file' to the 'close datalog file' through the 'for loop' wall.
I am using 8.2
I am sure it is an stupid issue, but the error message just did not point me towards a solution.

The problem is that you are creating a different type of datalog file in cases 2 and 3 than you are in cases 0 and 1.
The structure of a datalog file is the same as an array of clusters. All of the clusters must be of the same structure. Only the values of the individual cluster elements can vary.
You are trying to write three different cluster structures to a single datalog file. You just can't this.
You'll either need to write to three different files, or come up with a structure that everything will fit into.
One other quick hint. NEVER use a variable to pass data when you can wire the terminal directly to the function.

Two iterators browsing the same data (a table and a tree) problem

I have an ADF UIX application with a navigation tree and a central page with a table of the records of a Works view object.
There is a hierarchical relationship of Works ->Subworks-> Tasks which is shown in the tree. In the central part of the page, there is a table of Works.
I want
1) the tree to show all the data, but only about 10 works at a time (using small arrows for scrolling up and down)
2) the table to show only 10 or 20 records each time. Not the same with the tree.
3) Both clicking on a link on the tree and selecting a work on the table will open the appropriate page.
4) Opening the children of a node in the tree and clicking on the links being able to send me directly in the correct subwork or task page EVEN if I haven't visited the parent node (work) first.
I cannot seem to be able to succed in the "even if" part of 4 and I can succeed in only any 2 of the first three.
If the tree iterator and table iterator point to the same view object (work1 for example), it is impossible to show a different set of works in the tree and the table
If I use different view objects, then, if the tree part is working, the table selection doesn't work. I imagined that's a problem with "SetCurrentRowWithIndex" and I tried to set up correctly a "SetCurrentRowWithKey" event, but I didn't know how to write the handler. (I use JHS event handling, by the way)
I suppose the following has errors:
<event name="setCurrentRowWithKey" source="GetaeergView1">
<set target="${bindings.GetaeergView1Iterator}" property="currentRowKeyInRange" value="${ui:tableSelectedKey(uix, 'GetaeergView1')}"/>
</event>
Any suggestions?

Noone has tried this again?

Unsynchronized data between ECC and BW

Hi Experts,
I have a table in ECC6 which data is supposed to move to BW.
Everything is fine except some records from that table is not found in BW side even in the PSA table.
Where should I check to find the root cause of this program?
Thanks,
Duy

Hi,
What is the type of your datasource for this dataload. If its a generic datasource based on function module, please check the code to see if there is some restriction while fetching the data.
If its generic delta datasource for which delta field is numeric field, then check if the records that have not got fetched are for the values lesser than the pointer shown in RSA7 because the deltas will get fetched for values higher than the value in pointer.
For standard datasource, I dont think there would be any modification but still you can go in CMOD and check whether in customer exit particular data records are being deleted.
Hope this helps.

Contract data from ECC to MDM

HI all,
We have standard setup to push Contract data to catalog from ECC using MECCM transaction from ECC... and Via PI we use the standard way to FTP the file... we use standard mapping interface in PI - CatalogueUpdateNotification_Out... which in turn pushes the Data from PI to FTP server. Where the MDM picks it and upload it.
Everything works fine.... But I need to understand how the MDM recogize the File and how the PORT and XML schemas upload the FIle into MDM database???
Need to Identify whether it can be modified???
regards,
Prabhu

Hi Prabhu,
You can upload the xsd from PI into MDM. To get the schema go to your message type and click on xsd tab and copy and paste in notepad and save as .xsd and upload. Else you need to create the schema in external tools like altova xml spy or stylus studio etc.
There is option in MDM whether to load that file from the port automatically or manually. If automatic it will load immediate else you need to run manaully the file.
Need to Identify whether it can be modified???
I did not understand this. Do you mean to change something in the file once written from PI. If yes then try to go to MDM console and open the port and load it manually. So the file will be sitting there and you can modify and upload manually through Import Manager. But this is not advisable in production.
If PI is sending a csv or tab delimited file then you dont need to have a schme for that. You can load it manually.

Communication between ECC and CRM

Hello,
I am in phase of showing communication between SAP CRM 5.0 and ECC 6.0.
I am struggling with finding some simple transactions which are common in both, with which I can show correct connectivity between ECC and CRM.
I need to save some data from CRM and access the same via transaction within ECC, save some data via ECC and access it via CRM. I already established RFC link between ECC and CRM.
Probably communication between SD module of ECC with CRM.
Can you please help me out with this, a clue/correct direction will be of very helpful. Basically I want to know, what transaction I can use for same.
Any help is really appreciated.
Thanks
-Vishal

Hi Glenn,
I followed all steps in document mentioned above. In the end during execution of transaction I selected appropriate source and destination, when I click start transfer objects, it gets stuck in waiting phase.
Among those steps I was not able to perform step#10. Creating Subscriptions for OLTP. My ERP is not displaying this option under subscription wizard. Should it be reason for not starting transfer ? I also do not see ERP logon screen when I select transfer.
My another question is when transfer will complete, where I'll be able to see transferred objects within ERP database ?
Thanks

Vendor Number Range Conflict SAP ECC and CRM 2007

I need to load SAP ECC Vendor data from SAP to CRM and have setup most of the configuration as required. However I have an issue, the vendor number range used currently in our SAP system is already in use in our CRM system and has been for some time (for Prospects and Contacts). What is the best approach to dealing with this issue...
My initial thought was to see if we could have two different numbers for the same vendor in ECC and SAP CRM
eg SAP Vendor "50000001" equates to CRM "VEN50000001"
Is such as approach supported? Can you point me to the documentation that shows how such an approach could be implemented. What approaches have others done to address similar issues?
Thanks in advance
Eddie
By the way we are on CRM 2007 sp4

Hi Eddie,
SAP Note 1044637 - Customize Vendor Numbers
Implement the code present in the attachment. You can
change it according to your own requirements. The example code
suffixes 'VEND' before the first six digits of the vendor
number before it is downloaded to CRM.
Thanks,

Organization data from ECC to CRM

Hi Experts,
We need to download organization data from ECC to CRM, and our requirement is to download two different kinds of org structures, sales org structure and HR org structure. Could you please advise whether this is possible in the system and also if it is possible please advise how to download this.
Currently we are using ALE to download employees into CRM and transporting org structure in CRM systems from golden client.
Thanks&Regards,
Kumar.

Hi Kumar,
Please select the following parameters when downloading the HR Org from CRM:
You can do this in the program RHALEINI (or in the transaction PFAL, which has the same function)
Tx: SM30--> This scenario is activated in T77S0: ALE REPLI
Objects:
1. Plan Version: 01
2. Object Type: *
3. Object Id: Copy the Object Ids which you want to transfer from HR System
4. Object Status: *
Reproting Period: All
Structure Parmaters: Blank
Transfer Mode:
Insert: Complete distribution, this will delete the exisiting and recreate it in Target System
Update: this will update the change records in CRM system
Message Types: HRMD_ABA
Also check SAP Note: 119780
Hope this helps.

How can i update data of DSO and Cube using ABAP??

Hello Experts
I have a requrement in which i need to update/ delete data from DSO and cube based on certain keys using ABAP.
Please let me know how can i modify contets of cube or active table of DSO.
Thanks
Sudeep

Hi
I have requirement such that i need to update certain key figures in DSO after certain time.
for eg. say record with key a is loaded to DSO and currospoding key figure was loaded with value 10
after few days because of certain parameters changing in system i need to modify key figure value.
currently i am doing same using 1 self transformation i.e. by loading same data again in same DSO.
Amount of data is very huge and causing performance issues in system.
now A is not key but i need to modify record for few combinations which apperar multiple times in DSO.
Same DSO data is loaded into Cube regularly.
I may need to update data after gap of few weeks as well.
This design will be used as template and needto keep whole logic generic.
So wring Function module can make it generic.
Thanks
Sudeep
