Acquiring sales data from SAP ERP

(While evaluating Lumira, after watching promoclips, reading papers and working with the free trial some questions are still unanswered. I kindly ask you for help… Supporting a clear structure, I decided to open a separate thread for each question.)
How’s about connecting Lumira to a SQL-based SAP Instance to analyze sales data? Does SAP provide a “Business Content” similar to SAP-BW or do I have to join all the affected tables manually?
How would the scenario above be if I connect Lumira to a HANA-bases SAP Instance?
Any help would be appreciated, thank you in advance!

Hi,
there are a couple of similar threads already, which might give you suggestions:
Retrieve Data from ERP Infosets
SAP Lumira: Getting Familiar Freehand SQL Against SAP ERP - then to iPad
both those links discuss using 'freehand sql' drivers in Lumira to connect to ERP Infosets . (a kind of ECC query)
a similar approach, going via Business Objects BI 4, would be to have a Universe ontop of Infoset, and Lumira connects to BI4 to consume the Infoset Universe.
In both cases, the prerequisite is the definition of said 'infoset' - the creation of which would be handled by content creators within ECC environment, not likely the Lumira user.

Extracting Data from SAP ERP using BODI/Data Services 4.0

HI,
I am trying to extract data from SAP ERP via SAP extractors using BODI/Data Services 4.0.
I do not have my own ERP system so I am renting remote access from one of the many available on the internet.
I am able to connect BODI to the ERP system and import the extractors metadata.
The problem I am experiencing is that when I run job to extract the data I get the following error:
Vendor-supplied function module <Z_AW_RFC_READ_EXTRACTOR> not found. Ensure that you can execute the function module in SAP via transaction /nSE37.
How do I create the function? Or is the function a SAP standard function?
SAP ERP system being used is: ECC6 EHP4
User has SAP FULL and DEVELOPER authorizations.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Erasing Sales data from SAP

Hello everyone,
We are going to give the SAP server to another company from inside our organization and we are 'cleaning' up the data they won't need.
For instance, we will use transaction code OBR1 to clean up some credit movements, etc..
I know that there are some transactions/programs to clean up the masterdata, but, is there any program I could exclude the following data from SAP:
- Sales Orders
- Deliveries
- Invoices
- VK12 registry as well
Thanks for the help!

Hi,
Did you give a thought about Archiving of data? I guess by Archiving you can Archive all old data and keep in your record and can free SAP database.
Thanks,

Loadind data from SAP ECC 6.0 system

Hi!
I am about to implement SAP Best Practices scenario "B34: Accounts Receivable Analysis".
Therefore I load the data from SAP ERP IDES system into SAP NetWeaver 2004s system.
My problems are:
when I try to load the transaction data for Infosources 0FI_AR_4 and 0FI_AR_6 from SAP ERP system the following happens:
the status is getting u201Cyellowu201D (194 from 0 records)
at the next day the status is getting u201Credu201D and I received the following error:
Errors while sending packages from OLTP to BI
Diagnosis
No IDocs could be sent to BI using RFC.
System Response
There are IDocs in the source system ALE outbox that did not arrive in the ALE inbox of BI.
Further analysis:
Check the TRFC log.
You can access this log using the wizard or the menu path "Environment -> Transact. RFC -> In source system".
Error handling:
If the TRFC is incorrect, check whether the source system is fully connected to BI. In particular, check the authorizations of the background user in the source system.
Comment:
I did not find any entries on "Environment -> Transact. RFC -> In source system"
The Source system connection EC6CLNT100 is OK
Can some one help me to solve this problem?
Thank you very much!
regards

Jgen,
check the t-code BD87 in BW and see if there is any IDOC pending...try to manually execute them.
Its a connection issues as the IDOC's are not getting exchanged between the system.
may be you are running out of processes and your job is just waiting.
check the partner files as well in WE20 and see if everything is OK.
take the help of your SAP basis team as well.
Also check whether user ALEREMOTE exists in the source system in R/3 and give him all the authorization.
check if the authorization objects like S_RFC and B_ALE_REC are assigned to its role.
Also check if the authorization profile is S_BI-WX_RFC.
check this thread and check the ALEREMOTE part.

Gettin data from SAP R/3 4.7 unicode sys to SAP ERP non-unicode sys via RFC

We are trying to get data from SAP R/3 4.7 unicode sys to SAP ERP non-unicode sys via RFC. We are reading field from the database via FM and this field got converted by SAP standard Method (CL_ABAP_CONTAINER_UTILITIES=>fill_CONTAINER_C) from structure. When reading this field from ERP sys and converted back to structure using SAP standard Method the value is un-accurate, and different(blank) giving values.
How, if the data originally was a char or numeric it works fine, but not for decimal.
best regards,
Abu-Qaht

I have a range fields with different type of ranges, am saving these to the database by converting them to a string via the same method. I got the same problem so I tried to convert the string to xstring using function SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING, before send it to the other system, but the function raised an exception: CX_SY_CONVERSION_CODEPAGE

UPLOAD MASTER DATA FROM SAP GL TO ACCOUNT DIMENSION

hi
how can i upload master data (chart of account) from BW 0GL account info object to BPC Account Dimension ?
how can i upload the hierarchy, there is no hierarchy in ECC for the chart of account

SAP offers free content + documentation in the form of rapid-deployment solutions (RDS).
In the Extended Financial Planning Rapid-deployment solution, there is a module called G/L Financial Planning which includes the full load of SAP-based account dimension from SAP ERP to BPC via BW. This content introduces BPC-based Package Links as a best practice way to load master data (including the account hierarchy and transaction data). You can download the content and documentation from the highlighted page above or HERE.
SAP also offers free training on the EPM rapid-deployment solutions in the EPM RDS Academy 2015 on SAP JAM. If the link to the Academy does not work, please register HERE and SAP will invite you.

How to extract data from SAP in FDM 11121

I came across some documents from version 11113, says there is a SAP adapter, however ,when I check 11121 there's no such adapter, does anyone know how to extract data from SAP in FDM 11121?

I download a package from Bristlecone, but I dont see any xml files in it, just a bunch of dll and I didn't find any instructions on how to set up/configure in FDM, it just explained how to register in SAP app server and client.
Hyperion 11113 has readme on sap adapter(Hyperion Readme Template), but I cannot find the same readme file in 11121, all I can find is ERP Integration Adapter document. any idears where I can find at least a readme document?

Transfer Of Data from Sap to Oracle with the help of Enterprise Services.

Hello,
We want to transfer data from Sap to Oracle using standard Enterprise Services.Some fields were not available in the existing standard Enterprise Services,so we have enhanced the existing Services by writing code inside BADI available with Enterprise Services.Rest of the fields we have mapped with the existing fields available in standard Enterprise Services.But,the Oracle people want to fetch all data from Sap without entering any input as a mandatory field in the Enterprise Services.The existing standard Enterprise Services require to enter any field as mandatory and are not accepting the range in input for multiple records.e.g.All enterprise Services related to Sales Orders are displaying only one sales Order.We have searched all Enterprise Services for Sales Order(related to reading of data),but not able to find service which would display mutiple records without entering any input.ECC_SALESORDER009QR is the only service which is displaying multiple records without entering any input,but the required fields are not available in this service.So,kindly suggest what we need to do further.
1.Should we go for customization of services completely,so that it would fulfil our requirement.
2.Are there standard Enterprise Services exists which would we give us data in range(all records).
If they exists,please specify the names of Services for reading Purchase Order,Production Order,BOM etc.
Thanks & Regards,
Divya.

Hi Vaibhav,
Let me tell you the objective in detail.
Objective.
To develop a package solution which will work as a bridge between Oracle APS and SAP system so that customers using SAP will be able to use advantages of Oracle APS for their planning needs.
This will consist of following major components:
OA Templates is an Oracle utility to load data from any legacy system to Oracle APS using standard flat files.
Oracle has developed an Application Integration Architecture which is a standard architecture used for integration of Oracle products with other systems.
Enterprise services is an SAP utility to communicate with SAP.
AIA canonicals are standard canonicals developed by Oracle where we have to map data fields from destination system (Oracle APS) and source system (SAP)
Fusion middleware is being used to develop application interfaces following AIA standards.
Tasks at stake:
Mapping of Oracle APS fields and SAP Enterprise Service fields to AIA canonicals
Technical work of developing middleware using Oracle Fusion
From Sap side,we have to map fields which we have received from Oracle with the help of Enterprise Services,rest consumption of these services is done by Oracle guys.So,suggest is there enterprise services available which would give us multiple records .
Thanks & Regards,
Divya.

Data from SAP BW

Hi All.
If the data is coming from SAP BW to SAP APO for DP then where the data will go ?
Can the data from SAP BW come directly to Planning Area. If so then how to see the data in Planning Area.
Thanks a lot in advance for your help,
Prabhat Sahay

Hi Kumar
Just to answer your question, in most cases, the data is pulled from BW cube to APO cube and from APO cube into the planning area if you have a separate standalone BW system other than APO BW. As Senthil as stated, BW first pulls the data from the datasource (ERP, legacy systems, flat files, etc), massages it and the converted/transformed data is sent to APO cubes. From APO cubes, the data can be sent to DP/SNP planning areas.
If you dont have a separate standlaone BW system, the data can be fetched into APO BW and then directly sent to Planning areas from APO cubes.
I hope this gives some clarity to your query. Let me know if you need further details.
Rgds, Sandeep

Issue when uploading Sales data from DSO to Cube.

Dear All,
I have an issue when I am uploading Sales data from DSO to Cube. I am using BI 7.0 and I have uploaded all sales document level data to my DSO. Then I use a transformation rule to calculate the Sales Value when I am doing DTP to cube. Cube has customer wise aggregation data.
In DSO I have NetPrice(KF) and Delivered_QTY(KF). I do a simple multiplication routine in the transformation from DSO to Cube.
RESULT = SOURCE_FIELDS-NET_PRICE * SOURCE_FIELDS-DLV_QTY .
At the moment I use Active Table(With out Archive) on the DSO to get the data since this is my first load.
Issue is that the figure (Sales Value) in the cube is incorrect. I am getting a very large values which is impossible.
Can someone please help me.
Shanka

Hi,
are you sure that cube has customer wise aggregated data..since it will always aggregate the values of the key figures for the same set of characters...
did you checked the values for the key figures as well and if even they are inflated or is the problem with this key figure only.
During the data load the records may aggregates first for the same values of characters and then multiplication will be happening....if that is the case then you may have to multiply the values before storing it in the data package and then let it aggregate....can be achived through start routine...
but first verify if other key figures are also having the same issue.
Thanks

Upload data from SAP R/3 to BPC

Hi Expert
We need to upload data from SAP R/3 Payroll to BPC into to use in a butget process. We actived 0HR_PY_1 extractor and we have data at PCA area. My question is how i can to load this data into a appset in BCP.
Please give any idea to do that.
Thanks

Hi,
There are multiple ways of extracting data from ECC to BPC.
If you have SAP BW implemented for your HR area then you can load data from SAP BW info provider to SAP BPC.
check out the following thread.... all these things are already widely discussed in the forum.... all thats required is to search.....
you have got to use Transformation and conversion files.....
[How to load Transaction Data from BW to BPC]
If SAP BW is not implemented then the other way is to extract the payroll data into Flat files and use the data manager package to upload the data.... you got to prepare transformation and conversion files for this as well.
Directly from ECC is not possible as of now.....
