Kindly suggest .
Regards,
Sushmita

Hi Sushmita,
I will expain to you by taking an example.
Suppose you have customer and that customer have location as attribute.
So this customer may change from one location to another location from time to time so here you have to maintain time dependent master data for this customer.
You have to maintain below like this
Customer   from_data   to_date    location.
c100          01/9/2008     12/12/2008   bang
c100          13/12/2008    22/1/2009    Hyd
Hope it helps.
Thanks & Regards,
Ramnaresh .P.

Time-dependency in master-data

Good mornging BW-community
I still have a problem during my query. I have time-dependent master-data (an item infoObject with it's corresponding price as an attribute) and want to show the item prices depending on the date of sale on my bill. I can put a "key-date" in my query-properties, but that delivers only the price to that date. I would like to have the price determined by the date of sale saved in 0CALDAY in my cube. What do I have to enter in the query-properties?

Hello Jochen Schmitz ,
You can write routine in update rule which fetches values from master data info object and collect it into ODS as per bill date.
The code in update rule should like this ..
select price into lv_price from /bic/table "table containting time dependent master data
 where material = /bic-material
 and billdate >= datefrom
 and billdate<= dateto.
Hope that helps.

Hello Siggi,
Thanks for your respond.
I am using BW3.5 and for 0materia there are lots of attributes and for every attributes there is a "time dependent" click. Do I have to click all of them? Can you explain the theory behind that?
Mater data will be maintained respectively if I can change it to time- dependent.
Thank you very much,

Time dependent HR master data question

Hello,
I want to compare the two records ( Current record with the most recent delimited record) for pay rate for an employee. 0EMPLOYEE does not have DATETO or DATEFROM in its attribute list. Furthermore, I can not add DATETO as an attribute since the system does not allow it. How can I evaluate these two records to see the percentage increase.
Your thoughts are much appreciated.
Thank you.

Can i upload first Transaction data rather than master data what will hap

hai,
can i upload first Transaction data rather than master data what happends going in bw regarding performance issues like indexes
let me know
regards,
murali

Hi Murali,
you can load the transaction data before master data. The main impact will be, that the system has to generate sid's and has to populate the sid-table of the master data objects while loading the data to a data target (cube or ods that is activated for bex reporting). This basically means that your data loads will take some more time. Additionally, if you need the master data attributes somewhere in your update or transfer rules, you will not get the correct information.
So basically it is always a good approach to load and activate the master data before loading the transactional data. But anyway, specially in the development environment I usually don't load all the necessary master data.
regards
Siggi
PS: navigational attributes of the data targets will not be available until you loaded the master data and scheduled the attribute and hierarchy change run.

What is the Sequence of Master data and Transaction data R/3 to APO

Hi guys,
What is the Sequence of Master data and Transaction data R/3 to APO through CIF?

Hi,
Master data,
Material Indipendent data can be sent without any dependency.
Material Dependent data sequence is as follow.
Plant,
MRP areas,
Supply area,
Material,
MRP area material,
planning material,
ATP check,
Purchase info recards,
schedule agg,
PPM or PDS (But before PPM or PDS work center should send to apo) If PDS is sending then BOM should send before PDS.
Transaction data.
As per the business requirement what is planning in apo.

Time-dependent Vendor Master & Handling Special Characters

Hi,
I need to extract time-dependent Vendor Master.
1. The data source for 0VENDOR does not have fields to hold the valid date range.
2. Does the Master data in R/3 for Vendors will hold the valid date range?
3. The text for 0VENDOR provides time-dependent, but how to map the valid from and valid to fields?
Handling Special Characters:
We are trying to extract data from Legacy system via DB Connect. The item text field consists of special characters. Of course in BW customization we can specify all the special characters to consider. But the special character we observed is 'square' symbol i.e. 'new line character' in Oracle. We are updating this to an ODS object. When looked at error log, observed that green light for the number of records transferred and updated, but finally when it load into ODS object and activates popping up the error message saying 'could not recognize special character'.
Please help me getting the 2 issues resolved.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sudhakar.

Hi Everyone,
Thanks for inputs on Special characters issue...
Finally resolved with below piece of code in the start routine:
DATA: FLAG,
 OFF TYPE I,
 LEN TYPE I VALUE 1,
 ALLOWED_CHAR(95) VALUE
'0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ`~!@#$%^&*()-_=+ ' &
'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz:;<>,.?/|\{}[]"'''.
CONSTANTS: C_CHAR VALUE '-'.
LOOP AT DATA_PACKAGE WHERE NOT /BIC/ZI_DESC IS INITIAL .
 DO.
 IF DATA_PACKAGE-/BIC/ZI_DESC CN ALLOWED_CHAR.
 REPLACE SECTION OFFSET SY-FDPOS LENGTH LEN OF
 DATA_PACKAGE-/BIC/ZI_DESC WITH C_CHAR.
 FLAG = SPACE.
 ELSE.
 FLAG = 'X'.
 ENDIF.
 IF FLAG = 'X'.
 EXIT.
 ENDIF.
 ENDDO.
 MODIFY DATA_PACKAGE.
ENDLOOP.
if abort is not equal zero, the update process will be canceled
ABORT = 0.
I have seen the link sent by 'Eugene Khusainov' today. Thought putting my piece of code that may help others...

What exactly is Update method Master data attrib with a Time dependency ?

Hi Experts,
I have a Update rule in which i have an Update Method "Master Data Attrib of " with Time dependency
basically we are loading (update rule of )   0PAYROLL AREA ,
              at Master data attribute of we have 0EMPLOYEE
              at Time Dependency When reading Master Data END radio button is checked
              frm it is mention as 0CALDAY.
please explain what is function of 0calday here?
I understand that 0PAYROLL AREA is a attribute of 0Employee and since from R/3 we are getting only 0EMPLOYEE so we are filling it from 0employee but what is the significance of 0CALDAY here?
Regards,
RG

Hi RG,
It fills the valid value of 0PAYROLL for a particular 0EMPLOYEE in a particular time frame.
Elaboration.
Say Employee          Payroll                  Valid from          Valid to
        RG                    1000000                 01.01.2007        31.12.2007
        RG                    2000000                 01.01.2008        31.12.2008
        RG                    3000000                 01.01.2009        31.12.2009
The if your transaction data has RG employee in it with a transaction on 0CALDAY = 12.05.2007 then the valid payroll at that time would be 100000.
On Calday 05.05.2009 your payroll would be 300000.........
So for different days different payroll values would be valid.
You require calday to find out which payroll value is valid in the timeframe of a transaction.
In your update rule it is bringin the value of valid attribute value for the time of the transaction.
Hope it helps,
Regards,
Sunmit.

What is time dependent master data?

Can anybody explain me in detail with an example for time dependent master data?
Thanks in advance.
Sharat.

hi,
the master data value changes with respect to some time characteristics.
say- Salesregion is a char that have sales rep as master data(attribute)
saleregion date from date to              sales rep
sr001        20/10/2007 20/12/2007          Ram
sr002        21/12/2007 12/05/2008          Ram
in the above example Ram is in two sales region in different dates.
these type of attributes were time dependent.
usually time period will be defined in the data range of 01/01/1000 to 31/12/9999.

Master Data - What is it?

This is a very odd but basic question - What is master data in HCM? I need to be able to identify master data (not config data and not transactional data I think) to create data designs of standard SAP data (designs that govern the purpose and use of the data, who's responsible, etc).
The definition I'm given for master data is:
Master data is the fundamental business data in an enterprise and defines the business objects and classifications that describe overall business information. It is generally unchanging, although major additions / changes may occur when new company are added, and are used across multiple applications.
To me - master data is contained on the infotypes. Is there a good way to find this using the data modeler in SAP - tcode: SD11? I was given a list by somone who used SD11 - but it isn't necessarily accurate because it includes many items/entities that are not on the info type screens, nor can I necessarily find them in config - so I'm not sure what they are other than 'attributes' to the higher object.
Thanks for any input you can give me.

For this you need to know the activities done in HCM.
For eg, if you take SD(Sales and Distribution), the activities involved are generating sales orders, deliveries invoice etc. Now lets take Sales Order:
Sales Order tells about a transaction(a business deal) happend between two parties. Let say, Party A sold a material M (arount 10 units) to Party B.
Now, the same sales order, in order to generate, I need information about the parties and material. Only then, i can generate the sales order.
So here Material and Parties are the master data and business deal happend using these master datas are called transaction data.
Hope this helps..
Thanks

What is difference between tha master data and tranction data

Hi, Gurus
this is sudhakar
i want to no what is the difference between the transaction data and master data give with examples .
Thanks
sudhakar

Hi,
The most important data classes are master data, transaction data, organizational data and system
data.
Master data is data that is rarely modified. An example of master data is the data of an address file, for
example the name, address and telephone number.
Transaction data is data that is frequently modified. An example is the material stock of a warehouse,
which can change after each purchase order.
Organizational data is data that is defined during customizing when the system is installed and that is
rarely modified thereafter. The country keys are an example.
System data is data that the R/3 System itself needs. The program sources are an example
for more info go through..

sorry to post this question but I don't find the response in this forum.
Thanks in advance for you help.

Hi Santo,
Welcome to the SAP world.
Take your thread data/question data of SDN for example
Master dara here is: User ID ( your user id ) Name, Country etc which can not be changed
Transaction data here is: Number of Views on this thread by other users ( daily increases)
Points given by you etc.
With the help of master data we can easily find out who is this user of this question and his contact details etc.
Post as many threads as you can your master details will not be changed in the SAP SDN.
Thanks,
Ram.
