Overwrite in Master data

Hi All.
I have an InfoObject which I want to overwrite its data. I recently modified the update rules and want to fill some of its attributes. I used Direct upload since it is master data. I created a Full load but there is an error of Duplicate records. I know there would be duplicate records, I just want to update its master data. I then created a new InfoPackage with Processing mode Only to PSA and marked Update Subsequently in Data Targets + Ignore Double data records. The full load did not encounter an error, but it only updated 1 record out of 5000 in the master data. Can u help me?

Hi Prakash,
Yes, the InfoObject already contains data. The InfoObject is 0GN_VENDOR, it only contains data for the Vendor number. I recently modified it to become a Direct Update from 80VENDORM datasource (0VENDOR). Created a Full load but it does not overwrite the existing data. It ignores it completely.
My other option which I know works, is to create a Flexible InfoSource from 0VENDOR to 0GN_VENDOR. I am just wondering why Direct update does not work the same way.

Data overwrite in Master data

Hi,
I'm loading data for master data for InfoObject X (with attributes A,B,C and D) from 3 non-sap sources. I had these questions. The key field here is infoobject X itself:
1) Will the data gets overwritten, if same keyfield come from two source systems?
2) I'm thinking of incorporating 0SOURSYSTEM as one of the attribute as well to avoid such a situation, so should I also make 0SOURSYSTEM as the key field?

Yes, Parth Kulkarni is right. You just need to check checkbox "Master data locally for source sys." and 0SOURSYSTEM should automatically be written in the compound table.
But be sure 0SOURSYSTEM is really what you want. And be sure that there is a mapping for this existing. Therefore go to RSA1 -> Tools -> Asgnmt of Srce Syst. to Src Syst ID
Best regards,

Master data should not overwrite

Hi
How is it possible to avoid overwriting of master data.
Custom datasource is created to extract multiple records for a single account with different attribute pin values. Problem is in BW where the multiple records become one. Can this be overcome.

Hi,
master data functionality cant be changed because there will be no master data with duplicate records,main info object acts as primary key, as per data base functionality primary key cant holds duplicate records,
if you want to store that duplicate values use ODS in place of info object and make ODS additive from over write.
assign points if it helps,
thanks,

Incorrect Master Data Issue

Hi
We have incorrect master data in 0CUST_SALE object. It is due to some of the enhancements done in the Update/transfer rules. Because of this, we have extra records in BW. Like 110 record for actual 10 records. We are unable to delete the master data as there are transaction data already present.
We have identified the root cause, why this has happened. Has anyone faced similar issue before and how is it being fixed?
Jith

Hi Jith:
Why do you think the master data is incorrect because there are 110 records for 10 master data records?
0CUST_SALES is Customer compounded to Sales Area. For each customer sales area combination there can be a record in that table.
Sales Area is Division / Dist Channel / Sales Org. The number of combinations of customer compounded to sales area can be many for a single customer as there can be many divisions many dist channels and many sales orgs.
Are you sure the master data is incorrect? I don't know of a way to delete master data without deleting transactional data that uses that master data.
Only thing you can do is to overwrite those master data records.
Hope you find a solution.
Good Luck.

Problem deleting Master Data from an InfoObject

Hello Everyone,
We have 0MATERIAL infoobject. There was no Master data in the infoobject. Then, i manually entered the data into the InfoObject. After a day, i tried to delete the Master data to load it from R/3. When i tried to delete the Master data from the InfoObject, it shows errors and does not allow me to delete the data. Say, i entered 2 into material column of a record, the error appears like 'Master Data 0000002' (SID 25) is being used in /BI0/DOSH21' and cannot be deleted'. could someone please help me with this. This is a bit urgent. Let me know if you need more information.
Thanks.

Hi Sachin:
Your only hope is if R/3 has the Correct Master Data, it will overwrite your Master Data. But remember for this, the KEYS have to be same because the KEYS can never be deleted in your case.
E.g., MATERIAL, LOC (is an attribute)
You inserted:
000000002, TEXAS
If, in R/3 there is infact a material with key 000000002, FLORIDA. THis will overwrite your Record.
If R/3 doesn't have 000000002, there is not much you can do now.

Master data hierarchy

Hi gurus
pl tell me if we do the Master data hierarchy full load again , will it going to overwrite the master data or will add up the data in master data table?
thanks
Taj

Hi Taj,
This is just similar to the way other master data, i.e. Attr and Texts are laoded. If you have the Text for MAT001 in the system, and you reload for the same material, the old value will be replaced with the new one (unless you are using time dependant texts and the date range is different).

Overwrite data of master data infoobject

Hi all,
We have one master data infoobject ZASRYHMA. This infoobject does not have any attrbiutes but it has two compounding fields ZSITE and 0DISTR_CHAN.
Now customer has a requirement in which value of ZASRYHMA can change for a particular site and distribution channel. Generally if this value changes then system creates a new entry in tables /bic/pzasryhma and /bic/szasryhma.
What they want is to overwrite the existing entry.
Is it possible to achieve? It's a master data infoobject.
Please provide your kind help.
Regards,
Nilima Rodrigues

Hi,
You have three fields as key field in table as shown below along with values,
ZASRYHMA     ZSITE         0DISTR_CHAN
A-1                     B-1            C-1
A-2                     B-2            C-2
now if you want to change the value of say second row to
A-3                    B-2             C-2
right?
This is not possible just by overwritting in the info-object master data. Because these are key-fields system will treat A-3 as new value and create new entry, on top of this your A-2 master data values must have been used in transactional data.
Only way I can think of is to delete the transactional data where ever A-2 is used and then delete ZASRYHMA master data and then upload master data for ZASRYHMA with new values. And then transacional data.

Purpose of Update/Overwrite Hierarchy in Import master data package

Hi All,
Please let me know what is the difference in update and overwrite option in import master data package. Here when i tried running the package, both the option are altering the hierarchy of existing member.
My requirement is just to add a new member ID, if it already exist it should not affect those records and only update the new master data records.
Thanks & Regards,
Ramanathan

Hi Ramanathan,
You can run Import Master Data DM package in BPC to perform delta master data load. While you run DM package you get option to load Master Data from BW/BI where you can select:
1. MERGE: this will keep old data intact and also load new master data, and
2. COPY and REPLACE: This will copy new data and delete old master data.
As per your requirement, you need to select the First option. If you select Update option then it will not delete old master data, instead update the members and hierarchy according to the parent-children design which you would have given in the dimension membersheet.
Hope this corresponds to your requirement.

Master data load overwrite / add ?

Hello BW Experts,
Where: loading master data using infopackage.
1) Do we have the option of overwriting / adding to the master data ?
2) What do these options mean.
3) Where to make these settings in BW in the infopackage.
Please suggest.
Thanks,
BWer

Hi,
Master data is overwritten in BW.
If you are loading MD directly then you can't have the option of adding , it'll be overwritten.
Adding is usually used in case of transaction data, where it'll add to the existing values for the same key. In overwrite, it'll overwrite the record completely with the new values.
You have to make these settings at the object level, not at the info package level.
Cheers,
Kedar

Update and Overwrite Option in Import Master Data Package

Hello,
In the package Import Master Data there is the option "Select method for loading master data". I don't understand very well what is the difference between the "Update" and "Overwrite" option. I have tested both and I get the same result.
Can someone explain to me what is the difference between both options ?
Thanks,
Mathieu

Option overwrite: all properties are overwritten. If they are not maintained in the source file, they will be deleted in the member sheet
Option update: only the properties maintained in the source file are overwritten. The other ones are not changed.

Master data is getting overwrite with delta load

Hi,
We have an issue like some some asset numbers are showing blank for wbs elemnts.So we did Full repair Request.So pblm is solved.But after daily delta loads it is getting over write and again asset numbers are blank..please let me know any suggestions?
Regards,
Baanu

Ok, so your problem in the source-system itself. Since the update mode for master data is overwrite, when these records with blank fields are loaded they will replace the existing values and you will have blank values in your master data.
Check whether the data is available in the tables in the Source-system. If you have made any enhancements to the DataSource using exits, check the code for the exit and try to find out if the data is being changed by the code.
If there are no enhancements, check whether the master data is being properly maintained in the source system.

Master Data Overwrite/Addition

Hi Mates,
Would just like to know if I keep re-executing Master Data Info Packages, does the Master Data get's replicated or get's overwritten
Thanks in advance

Hi ,
Since it is master data
the data replication is not
possible and data will be
just overwritten.

Master data overwrite property and delta

Hello friends,
If i load master data with different info packages will the records be overwritten (if the datas are not same)
Also is it possible to do delta update for masterdata?
Thanks in advance!!!
Ram!!
Sorry i had this post already and i am opening again!!!

hi,
this info is good in your case too.
Re: Master data load from different R/3 Servers
Delta depends on the TYPE of Extractor created, not on the InfoProvider.
If the Infopackage has only FUll load, then the extractor/data source is not Delta capable.

Time-dependent master data in the cube and query

Hello,
I have a time-dep. masterdata infoobject with two time-dep attributes (one of them is KF). If i add this infoobject into the cube, what time period SID will be considered during the load? I assume it only matters during load, if i add the KF to the query it gets its value based on the SID in the cube.. right?
Thanks,
vamsi.

If its Time Dependent Master Data object when you run your Master Data if that time any changes to the Master Data that value will be overwrite to the old value you will get the new value. When you run the Query execution the Infocube Master Data infoobject will having the SID that time it will to there it will be displayed at that moved what is the value you have in the Master Data table.
This is what my experience.
Thanks,

CIF of master data

Hi,
My question is related to the CIF of master data.
I built an integration model to transfer the materials from R/3 to APO, and then the delta modifications are CIF by a background process at night.
I would like to transfer all the delta master data, but having one excetption.
I do not need to transfer the safety stock delta changes in R/3 to APO, so that I maintain these values independently in APO. The issue is that the safety stock values in R/3 are also changed but with another purpose and the R/3 values are overwriting the values that I am uploading directly in APO after the delta CIF transfer.
Is there any way that I can CIF the delta master data changes in R/3, but restricting the delta safety stock changes?
Thanks a lot!

Yes it is possible. You have to add custom logic in the material CIF user exit to turn off the update of safety stock fields in APO. Actually there are a lot of threads in this forum that discuss this issue.
You can start by referring to the thread below
