Process for manual master data change by business directly in BW?

Hi!
My business want to have a chance to maintain some of material master data custom attributes directly in BW.
Does anyone have any experience in this? I.e. how to give business a chance to populate their custom attributes in 0MATERIAL master data table without access to RSA1, and preferably via web interface?
Will appreciate any ideas
Thank you!
Vitaliy

Ashwin,
I just went through the post by Vitaliy where he also metions about certain custom attributes being populated by the users , this should not have any issue only thing is that the activation of the master data should be triggerred automatically so that old data is not entered. I am not sure if this would b required when we are directly editing the table. There will be a version flag against each entry so I guess activation would be required.
1. Only issue with a flat file is that someone has to enter all the required data , atleast the key attributes in the necessary format and then put it up for uploading which might become an overhead , otherwise flat files would work fine. Everytime there is a chage required , the busines user has to initiate the change and then save it and then give the details to BASIS / Uploader to upload the new files.
Or since it is NW2004s , a simple function module may be written and the same could b called as a web service and the data could then be uploaded trough the web if required. Also people are prone to errors and if the flat file contains small characters etc and then the load fails , the overhead would increase. Delta loads would not be affected since going by te problem statement , the fiels to be changed do not come from the source and hence can be updated in BW itself.
2. Since we are looking at data at the table level , editing the attributes should not be an issue , only thing is that the validation of the same will have to be done carefully.

Message Type for Material Master Data Changes

Hi all
I'm managing Message Types for Material Master Data extraction from R\3 system to BW system, in order to load on BW only the changes done to some fields of MARA table that are delta relevant.
Now from R/3 BD50 Transaction I can see that there is a message type that refer to changes done on MARA fields: RS0044.
I would like to replace this message type with another one (RS0020) in order to align different systems.
Now changes to material master data in R/3 system are recorder with both message types but only those with RS0044 message type are processed and loaded into BW system.
So I would like to know:
1. How is the message type related to the DataSource 0material?
2. is it possible to replace a message type for BW?
3. if yes, how can I do it?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Oscar!
At the moment I'm using Delta queue of 0MATERIAL. I know that in the queue there are all the new and changed records.
But I would like to be able not to load all the changed records, but only those that refer to some fields of MARA table.
E.g. if the gross weight of a material is modified I don't want to load this change on BW with Delta loading .
I've seen that from R/3 Transaction BD52 you can set only delta relevant fields referred to a specific message type and to delete the other fields.
As I'm able to do this directly in the Development system and Test System, I haven't got the authorization of doing it in the Production system.
That's why I need to include this setting in a CR and then ask to transport it from Test to Production system.
But message types referred to MARA field changes are different between the two systems.
And it seems they are automatically created.
Is it true?
Thanks
Elisa

Export and import change document for user master data

Dear Gurus,
I have two queries on change document for user master data:
1. Are there any approaches to export and import change document for user master data?
We often do system copy from PRD to QAS for UAT and troubleshooting. Before system copy we export the user master data from QAS and then import after the copy process. We would like to keep the change document for user master data on QAS from being refreshed from PRD for security reason.
2. Change document for Role change in QAS
When the role is created or modified in DEV and then transported to QAS, the role change document doen't include this change log. The role change document in QAS only records those role changes directly made in QAS.
Could you advise this is by SAP design or are there any approaches to record this transported role change in the role change document in QAS?
Thanks
YBY

1. Perhaps you want to consider a system copy to a "virtual system" for UAT?
2. Changes in QAS (as with PROD as well) will give you the delta. They should ideally be clean... You need to check the source system.
Another option is to generate the profiles in the target system. But for that your config has to be sqeaky clean and in sync, including very well maintained and sync'ed Su24 data.

Julius

Change pointers for HR master data

Hi I am trying to setup change pointers for HR Master data , in relation to HRMD_A06 idoc , I did all the steps for setting up change pointers.
Transaction bd52 for my reduced IDOC shows 0 entries, When i did the same for customer master data , BD52 had some entries by itself .
I can't produce any HRMD_A06 Idocs , What am i doing wrong? Should the entries in BD52 be added manually for all the fields i need?
Any help is much appriciated.
Sudheer

Hi,
guess it's not necessary to see some entries in bd52 (it's enough to activate in bd53).
Do you have configured RBDMIDOC (otherwise no IDocs will get generated).
Or you run t-code bd21 for testing. Standard way is to run the report RBDMIDOC in a periodic background job.
A good description could be found here (p. 12):

Track Master Data Changes for Multiple countries

Hi experts,
I am in a Global HR Implementation & Rollout Project. We are creating Outbound Interfaces for 3 countries to export pay, time and general data to the 3rd party systems in those local countries. (Payroll is outsourced there).
As well as sending New Joiners data every month, we need to send Changers data also to all those 3rd partys every month before the Payroll runs.
I know 2 solution for this :
a). Using Change Documents - Tcode : SCDO ..etc
b). Using the report RPUAUD00.
c). Using RBDMIDOC.
Query :
1). Are these the only solutions ?
2). Whats the best solution for doing this for a Global Rollout project ? I need to track master data change for different countries for different set of Infotypes and fields. I need to send those Changers data as well as the New Joiners data through the Outbound Interface to all the local countries.
This year we are doing for 3 countires, next year for 9 more countries, etc. Whats the best solution keeping this in mind ?
Restrictions :
1). Our Client HRs dont want us to disturb the report RPUAUD00 as they use that regularlly and want the flexibility to configure the configs themselves.
2). If I must need to create and activate Change Documents for ALL individual fields, is there an easy way of doing this ?
3). I need to send this Changers data from SAP to Legacy system, so dont know if RBDMIDOC will be a good solution for this. Any comments ?
Just want the best possible and feasible solution for this issue.
I will be please to allot point to anyone who gives a good solution.
Moreover will be Thankfull also !!
Cheers.

Please try with transaction code "PC00_M02_LINF0"

Retro master data change for previous cost center

HI All,
Could any one please reply on how I can unblock 'blocked cost center' to make retro changes for Master data.
Thank you in advance.
Abhay

Hi Abhay,
1. Unblock the cost center for the period to apply the Master data changes. Unblock it via transaction KS02.
2. Once the legacy cost center is unblocked, immediately proceed with master data updates.
3. Once master data is updated, proceed with restoring the blocked status of the cost center that was used (Unblock).
Thanks,
Dhiraj

How to use LSMW on CRM for bulk master data creation?

Hello Experts,
I need your help to able to use LSMW on CRM for bulk master data creation. Below is described my detailed requirement; -
We have CRM 2007 integrated with SAP ISU (ECC6.0). As per business process all Business Master Data (BP details, Business Agreement details etc) and Technical Master Data (Connection Object, PoD etc.) is created in CRM and then it is replicated in ISU. We are going to start Assembly Test soon. Now we need to have all master data in place. Tool we want to use is LSMW.
Now can you help me right from scratch on how to use LSMW for bulk master data creation in CRM?
Please give me documents / links etc that is relevant.
Regards,
Rohit

Hi,
I have looked into your query.
These are some information which might be useful to you.
What is LSMW?
Legacy System Migration Workbench or LSMW is SAP standard program that can be used to easily load / change master data or transactions in SAP without any programming at all. It can be used to upload data at cutover, such as: open orders, contracts, materials, vendors, stock on hand. It can also be used in a production system to make changes to existing data. Very limited authorization checks are available on the transaction, so the use of it must be very well controlled.
One input file can be used to create all the views of the material master. For all the material types. Even if different views and fields are used for the different materials.
Steps to take
1. Create text file with data to be loaded
2. Set up and run LSMW
The following link will provide good information on LSMW Idoc method:
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/ad/2d54a41d7011d2b42e006094b944c8/frameset.htm]

FK02 :: vendor master data change

FK02 :: vendor master data change
I want to change payment terms to a particular vendor but i am getting a error message
changes for vendor not yet confirmed.
I tried FK08 to confirm earlier changes but i could only confirm company code changes and
not the general data.
How do i confirm earlier changes and also assign new payment terms.
Help appreciated
Prashanth

Hi,
It is correct, user who made the changes to Vendor Master (sensitive fields) cannot confirm the changes. SAP Help states:
Only those accounts are displayed for which you have authorization to confirm changes. As a result of dual control, the system also checks whether you were involved in the sensitive changes.
You can ask any other User who has authorization to transaction code FD09 to confirm the changes. Logically, if the user who is making the changes also confirms the changes, it defeats the very purpose for which this process is defined. Hence, I think SAP would have put a validation to check the user who made the change and whether the same user is approving the changes.
Thanks
Murali.
