Permit or forbid master data maintenance ?

I'm trying to process some deletions of Master Data InfoObjects but it doesn't seem to be deleting!
Does anyone know if there is anywhere which states whether you can permit or forbid master data maintenance?
Regards,
Mark.

Hi Mark,
The best thing to do will be to see where the Infoobject is used
go to the Infoobject and click on where used
You will get a list of cubes, ods, infoobjects where the infoobject is used, the delete the data from there. And after this you sill be allowed to delete the data in the Infoobject.
Do the above things if you are int he development environment only
For production environment proceed as follows
Go to the where used list, make a note of the ods, cube and infoobjects where it is used.
Now go the database utility of the the master data tables for this infoobject and delete all the data.
Go to transaction rsrv and do a check on this infoobject, repair if necessary and then reload it.
Make a realignment run on it
The one by one you may need to reload all the objects u listed above in a proper order, realign them, repair using RSRV whereaver necessary.
Note: In any case u cn refer to the log for master data deletion to see whats going wrong ok..
Best luck

Material master data maintenance strategy

Hi,
We are working on a global template to suggest Material master data maintenance strategy.
Please suggest what could be various options for same.
Regards,
Avnish

Hello,
In the same situation now:
1. Suggestion is to load the Basic Data centrally, say from HQ
2. Other data can be loaded via the subsidiary in the different countries.
3. If required you can use a block or a material statu and have the HQ control the access to the other parts of the material master.
For your information, we have come across a big issue regarding this and only now we have begun the above method as my client's HQ controls the release of materials into the market.

Automatic Master Data Maintenance in SAP Solution manager

Hello!
I am doing the settings from the "Configuration of Service Desk for VAR".
I find it difficulty "4.1 Automatic Master Data Maintenance (Standard)".
My questions:
1. Tcode SM30 -> V_AIINSNRS
http://imglink.ru/show-image.php?id=c095122ec4b0119d32ffab4675b174e7
How to insert data into a table "V_AIINSNRS"?
table V_AISAPCUSTNOS:
http://imglink.ru/show-image.php?id=f45703bd65e714ba309ecc3010fc7271
I Used report AI_SC_GET_SAP_CUSTOMER_NUMBERS.
2. I tried to run the report AI_SC_REFRESH_READ_ONLY_DATA.
http://imglink.ru/show-image.php?id=598159ed85a780096de8e5afead42095
What does this message?
Transaction SMSY_SETUP -> Expert Settings: performed
Thanks!

Hi Dmitriy,
1.
These tables are maintained by the report AI_SC_GET_SAP_CUSTOMER_NUMBERS.
Also, the report uses the S user is stored in the RFC SAP-OSS to determine all the SAP customer numbers that you support.
So, an S user from the Service Provider, with a password that has authorization to
display all customer information for the VAR customer numbers, must be available in the
RFC SAP-OSS.
For further information you can check note 1151450.
2.
To run the report AI_SC_REFRESH_READ_ONLY_DATA, you should be able to perform the above activitie first and flag customer numbers or installations for generating the data.

Master data maintenance in BPS

Hi,
Does anyone has implemented a BPS layout to maintain masterdata ?? I know this is a overkill ...what are the settings to be made to info objects for it to accept the masterdata ???
Any suggestions is eagerly awaited,
regs
D Bret

Folks,
I've had this requirement in one shape or another at least on 3 projects now.
Mary, the FM you specified (UPC_BW_MASTER_DATA_MAINTAIN) is a good one for GUI. I've tried it from the web and it gives you an error while trying to send data to the web. I think this would only work if you have a capability to embed GUI in the web. By the way, does anyone know how to do it without leaning on portal? Can it be done in fact?
To go ahead and do some master data creation/maintenance from the web i did the following:
1. Created as many infoobjects with no master data or texts as there're attributes/texts (s/m/l) for a master record. This would also include the key, e.g. internal order. None would have master data or texts.
2. On par with those i created, or used standard, a set of real attributes as well as the key char you want to maintain.
3. Created an infocube which would contain all infoobjects that don't have the master data. So that a user can populate them on the web.
4. Wrote an FM to read the values off those fields in the loop and update the master data tables with the real attributes/texts. There's a standard FM RSDMD_WRITE_ATTRIBUTES_TEXTS you'd have to call from your Z one. Just make sure you specify the right i_tabclass in parameters depending on whether you're updating attributes or texts.
5. The function to create/update the master record is a local planning sequence which, as soon as the record is created, deletes it from the cube. So the cube stays always empty. It's done so that no old saved requests would be included in the loop next time you run it.
There're few clumsy issues with this solution. First, you need to specify the key figure for the cube. I try to make it meaningful for the user, whereas in reality it's used for nothing. You actually have to put some kinda value there coz otherwise the line items with zeros in all KFs are not included in xth_data hashed table in the loop.
Then comes this inflexibility with being able to fully maintain the record, seeing it prior to calling it up. I managed to only create and update the record (if the same key is used, in this case, the FM just overwrites the old attributes/texts with the new ones).
Last but by far not least, once i created a master data value, on the next tab i want my variable to be auto-refreshed with a newly created MD value. Heck. You have to tweak and fool the system even here. But i'll write more about it in a separate discussion.
Final point. Dave, the client req you have is not an overkill. If i were a client, for Pete's sake, i'd be adamantly demanding this functionality. I believe, if we at SAP make a claim BPS can be used to plan at levels other than lowest level of master data in the R/3 system, then we better be ready to provide a user-controlled tool to create those master record values prior to entering plan data against those. And often a user doesn't know the master record attributes/texts and when they finally do, they need to plan against them the next minute. So no time for calling the IS team asking to load a file containing one record.
Cheers
Alex

Master data maintenance and attributes for GTIN/EAN

A review of the SAP documentation indicates that "You can use the consistency report to change the attributes (for example, quantity, length, height, and so on) of certain materials". The "and so on" seems to imply that the attributes can be user defined. If this correct, where is this data kept? Or do the attributes only include the fields from the Basic data 1 Dimensions/EAN data and Plant Data storage General data?
I would expect we can use LSWM to mass update the GTIN for our existing material numbers. However, for new material master creation is there a function module that would be able to pull the next available GTIN number from the internal number range? Please note that we use LSWM to create all our material numbers. We would like to have the LSWM insert the next available GTIN number.
Thank you for your response
Brian

Hi
I had tried all sorts - attribute change run and manually activating the master data. Still doesnt work.

Question- Colgate Palmolive,, master data maintenance in BIA

Hi BW GURU, Like You said master data in BIA gets updated, when we run change run and it actually considers BIA index for a cube on BIA just like another Aggregate Right?
So Question,,, when we run change run it brings all changes into F table of an aggregate and then updates the records and then compress it (back to E table) and then after updating all aggregates it updates the master records. so when it updates the changes in BIA and how can we monitor those during change run?
Thanks.
Faisal

Hi Marc Thanks for Your reply.I understand now that Change run updates all master records in BIA as well upon execution of change run.
I have an other question.
Suppose we have 10 blades on BIA. We have a cube with 10 M records, when it creates BIA index for this cube it will store data like buckets on BIA disk ,,lets say it created 10 buckets, each had 1 M records. and then loads it to BIA main memory.
What if We had say 12 M records. Will it still create indices in buckets by keeping in mind that it has to distribute data evenly on every blade upon loading index for this cube into main memory?
Regards
Faisal

Master data maintenance

Hi gurus,
Can we add a key figure as an attribute for an master data object ?
If yes please give me a scenario.
Full points will be assigned.
Regards,
Prasad.

Hi......
Yes you can use a keyfigure as an attribute of an characteristic infoobject........
Suppose you have created one Characteristic infoobject COSTCENTER............it has the following attributes...
Company code.........
Business area.......
Profit center........
Entry date............this date will be a keyfigure...........
Date and Time are Keyfigure.........
Hope this helps you........
Thanks==Points in SDN.......

Master data maintenance for two plants

Dear All,
there are two plants having same materials on both plants. sohow can we maintain aster data for both plants,
should we create MICs for both plants,
and inspection plan for both plants

But you are then making the same product using 4 different methods! That is terrible from a quality perspective. If I'm a customer I don't want to have to worry about what plant made it. It totally goes against having standard specs. Quality should be consistent across plants. You can manufacture it however you want, but the quality control, i.e. the tests and specs used must all be the same across all plants. Its one of the reasons SAP is designed the way it is. (One exception may be if a country requires a specific test for a product that other countries don't.)
As far as changing specs and adding/deleting characteristics, those aren't things that should be changing very much. Testing and specs should be pretty static data once it is created. Coordinating changes shouldn't be that difficult. Even when using separate plans you still need interplant coordination. The last thing you want is to wind up with 4 different specs being used across 4 different plants.
It also means anything like COA's or certificates have to be managed much differently with a much higher level of maintenance. Using any features of batch management are almost totally wiped out. You could maintain separate plans and utilize the same MIC's however and use batch management. But using separate MICS would really hurt the usage of batch classification. Comparing quality between plants becomes much, much harder. Reports can't be consistent.
My biggest objection is not that you would want to do this. I can understand that there may be a unique sitiation out there that requires separate plans and maybe separate MICS as well. But you told the poster that it was required to use separate inspection plans at different plants.
I know not everyone sees and knows everything about everything. I certainly don't and I've made mistakes. But if we are going to post advice and solutions, we need to try and make sure it's correct information.

I have checked the PSA and down loaded the data to spread sheet and put a filter on SHORT and STEXT assuming i will find the value
'Ship &' as mentioned in the Diagnosis description. However i was not able to find the relavent data(i went to se16 gave teh request ID from PSA and displayed the entire data)tarting with Ship .The closest value i could find in both the fileds was was AVP Shipment .
I have the following questions
1)In the screen short 2 it says record number 349 is it right to go to PSA table and check against the record number 349(i tried that but i was not able to find the error against that record)
2)why am i not finding the value 'Ship' in PSA ...but this is the value wich is creating a poblem in updating to the target ....does it mean the record value is Ship or it starts with Ship or is ir part of some word?
Please find the attached PSA data file (u have to convert it to Excel)
I request people to help me analyse the issue and fix the issue.

Hi,
   The issue is due to errorneous record.
Delete the request in Master data and Try the following.
1) Goto PSA --> filter the Status (Red or Green)
Select the Red records and correct the data in which error is throwm.
After correcting the data, save and Right click PSA and give Start update immediately.
2) Load via Infopackage only to PSA and later update from PSA and check.
Any one of the above 2 methods will solve the issue.

Issue with Vendor Master Data-field notes ID (Table ADRT-REMARK)

Hello,
I have a issue related to Vendor Master Data maintenance.
The client wants to maintain the u201CNotesu201D field in vendor master data. The field gets populated from the field u201CADTR-REMARKu201D table ADRT.
Now client wants to maintain some alphabet to distinguish some of vendors (i.e. 1250) out of 5000 vendors. We tried to develop LSMW, however it is not getting generated as this field is not getting recorded as the field is inside the tab (next to e-mail id field) which requires click. It seems BDC also is also not working as it is not populating these fields except e-mail id.
The table ADRT contains filed ADDRNUMBER which is the same field in LFA1, and it is ADRNR (Address number).
Also please note that CATT/e CATT is not permitted at all the client level.
Can any body suggest the way to change the master data through some way.
Regards,
Chepan

Hi,
Did you heard about SAP GUI Scripting? There is SAP functionality - seems to Excel Macros. You are able to record SAP like macros, then after small code modifcation (code is in Visual Basic), and special excel origin (there could be excel prepared like for CATT) upload data to VMD.
If you have any questions I try to help you?
Best regards,

Hi,
1. 'Entry GVK 0000140000 does not exist in SKB1 - check your entry'.
Solution :Reconcilation account 140000 has to be created in GL Master Data - T.code FS00.
2. Customer is Vendor and Vendor is customer.How do you see the net profit?
Solution : In customer Master , you have to input vendor master and in vendor master, you have input customer master, tick the clearing with customer box on the vendor record and the netting with vendor box on the customer record, Payment can be made by Automatic Payment PRogram.
Additionally search SDN with the search word customer master, you will find losts of real time problems with solutions.
