Adding new attribute to Master data - Not present in ECC

Hi,
We want to add a new field in the master data object 0plant. the new field is not present in the R/3 side. So we are planning to maintain it manually.
Is it feasible? Can someone explain how to approach the situation?
Since it is not going to come in Process chain or any of the mappings below InfoObject will the process chains work properly?
Regards

Hi
if you cant impliment any logic you cam maintani it mannually.
First add attribute to master data object and activate.
Do master data load if required.
Then right click on materdata addtribute and manage -> content tab -> Content
display complete data and you can maintain attribute values individually for all ercords one by one (will be pain even for 100 records).
another alternative is of doing file upload for this attribute.

Master data not present in the reporting cube

Dear Experts,
There is a scenario in report design for me.
I have already created the Bex report and all the fields as mentioned are in the sales report.
Client now wants to include two more fields in the report.
One is the keyfig " Net value" which is present in the sales cube and i have already included in the report
and another field which is master data 0profit_center is not present in the cube.
Any ideas how can i include this 0profit center data so that i can display in the report?
As far as i understand, I need to include this master data in the sales Infocube which is being used for reporting.
But i am pondering upon the impact on the system because of this.
Now i have checked the BI system and the ECC table. In VBRP table of ECC, the profit center is present.
But when i see in BI the profit center is not being loaded from ECC but from flat file source system.
So i am confused how to go forward.
Can anyone suggest me what should be my approach?
Best Regards!!

You didn't understand what we suggested.
Rather than checking 0profit_ctr master data, you need to find the info objects(which are part of your cube) which have master data. in those 0profit_ctr can be a attribute. if yes then navigation settings will work.
if not then you can add 0profit_ctr to info cube and user master data look up thru routine or option read from master data(bw 7.3).
Other wise, directly add 0profit_ctr to your flat file data source(and cube) and maintain data thru flat file.
To look up your cube and 0pfirt_ctr need to have relations with another info objects other wise not possible.

Problem in adding new tabs in master data screens for RE-FX in ECC 6.0

Dear members,
I am working on RE-FX in ECC 6.0. I need some advice on the foll matter:
When displaying master data for Rental Object (Rental Space) (Tcode REBDRO) there are three tabs that are visible. They are General Data, Measurement and Area Shares. I would like the tab "Supplementary Texts" to also appear as the fourth tab. I have gone to the node Screen Sequence under the Dialog node under Usage View under Master Data in RE-FX.
I have added this screen to the sequence and have saved it successfully. Now when i am trying to display the rental space (RS) it is still not showing the tab that I just added. When I am trying to remove one of the existing tabs, by going into the same screen sequence I am successful in doing that. I am also able to add some of the other tabs. However every time I am trying to add the tab "Supplementary texts", I am failing to display it in the master data.
Request you to please help me as I am not an expert in RE-FX.

Hi Survaghya,
We are facing problem in adding tab to transaction RESCSU. We have followed all the steps mentioned by you , like
1. Go to transaction BUPT .
2. Select Application Object - transactuion BUS0.
3.Selected Application object as RESU.
4. And then went to all the following transactions.
    RESCSU0002     SU: Field Groups
    RESCSU0003     SU: Views
    RESCSU0004     SU: Sections
    RESCSU0005     SU: Screens
    RESCSU0006     SU: Screen Sequences.
5. Created one z function group , having 2 FM for PBO and PAI.
6. Also one subscreen having the field mapped to CI_INCLUDE - CI_VISCSU.
But still we are not able to see the tab on the settlemet screen.
We tried changing the screen sequence of existing tabs, we could change that, but after performing all the steps mentioned above we could not add new tab.
Please suggest where are we committing a mistake.
Thanks & Regards,
Deepti

Adding new field to Master Data

Hi All,
I have one master data which is business content.
i need to add one custom field in that with the status information of records. that new field will get data from R/3 status table via extractor from CMOD.
now this Master data is having delta.
my confusion is if i add new field in it how the delta will react ? coz there are different status - eg. when user create the status - it will be "created" that time delta will pick up that record coz it has been changed. Now if user changes status to "closed" or "in transit" how delta will react ?
i meant is it doable to do like that ? any guidance will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Smith,
Your master data extractor will continue to give your existing fields- as for delta - it depends on how the delta is managed - you would have to find that oiut - is it on timestamp / date et etc... ?
CMOD will change only the extract structure and whenever this datasource is called - CMOD fills in the additional field - nothin about delta / init here...

end

Hi Rathna,
Just put the SP like this, without the -- before the IF. A -- marks the line as a command therefore you need to uncomment and it will work.
IF @OBJECT_TYPE = '59' AND (@TRANSACTION_TYPE = 'A' or @TRANSACTION_TYPE = 'U')
BEGIN
   IF EXISTS(
    SELECT T0.Price FROM IGN1 T0
    where IsNull(T0.Price, '0') = '0' and T0.DocEntry = @list_of_cols_val_tab_del)
   BEGIN
    SELECT @ERROR=1,@ERROR_MESSAGE='Please insert the price !'
END
end
Hope it helps

Difference between text data and attributes in master data?

Hello,
a charcteristic in BW maintains texts, hierarchies and attributes.
What exactly is the difference between texts and attributes?
Attributes describe master data like a customer. The country where the customer resides, the industry etc. describe and classify the customer. Attributes are not just the structure/metadata of the characteristics. They are also the content. The following table should visualize what i mean:
customer-no. | name
112 | mcpherson inc.
113 | donalds inc.
Texts contain contain the description of a characteristic. Texts define a characteristic. An example is the customers name. It does not describe the customer but defines him/her.
Is my understanding about these two parts of master data right?
What else except the customer's name belongs to the texts?
If I set up a characteristic like the customer in SAP BW, do I have to create an attribute "name". The name belongs to texts, not to attributes?? If I upload master data then, how does it work?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
If your analysis includes country and region then country and region should be included in the Infocube.This is required because only if you include these characteristics then you can restrict your queries for country and region.You may need to select some particular countires/region and show the report.Then you have to restrict your queries to only those countries/region.This is possible only if you have these characteristic in your infocube.
I am just envisaging your model like this.
Characteristic in the Infocube
Customer
Country
Region
Customer Attributes
Customer Number (SID which is self generated)
Customer Address1,2 ,3
Registration No
Date of Registration
Deposit Amount
etc ...
Region Attributes
Region Number (SID)
Total Customers
Sale Office Address
Number of Sales Persons
Customer Attributes
Customer Number (SID)
Total Customers
Head Office Address
Number of Sales Persons
GDP
Total Population
So the conclusion is whichever entity you want to restrict or analyse should be a part of Infocube.It is very difficult to do analysis based on attributes as I mentioned in my earlier post that they are only "Display attributes" (u can just show that's it).
Yes!! there are methods available for analysis based on characteristics in attributes table and you have to do either with virtual characteristic or replacement path or with writing code in customer exits.But a good design and earlier study of all possible report combination and having a good design will avoid good amount of development time and changes.
I have suffered when I had only 0CALDAY in my cube and when I want to take a monthly analysis, I was unable to do it and then I have to redesign my whole cube.
Please anyone, correct me if I am wrong.

All Master data not displaying

Hi all;
I am tring to create Hierarchy for some values for one master data object.
Here is the issue:
If I go to the RSD1 > 0costcenter > maintain master data > If I execute with maxm hits I get let's say 200 records for that master data But If I enter some value which is there in the master data instead of the execution it's not displaying anything.
Same thing I am trying to create Hier for those cost centers but in the hier maintaince window when I enter that costcenter it does not display anything...and I check in Maintain Master data for 0costcenter those value are there when i execute all but don't see again if I give that particular value and execute.
Any reason...
Thanks.

Hi simon;
I checked that table and all the entries are version 'A' and I also saw there the ones that are not coming while creating hier are active as well. I also checked tcode RSATTR and there is nothing left for change run., this is production env,. and we do change run every night after the process chain.
Thank you for you reply do you think anything else because those some master data not populating...on selection?

You can determine how many decimal places the field has by default in the Business Explorer. This layout can be overwritten in queries.
Layout
This field describes with which scaling the field in the Business Explorer is displayed by default. This layout can be overwritten in queries.
For more information, see Hierarchy Intervals
Miscellaneous:
Key Figure with Maximum Accuracy
If you choose this indicator, then the OLAP processor calculates internally with packed numbers that have 31 decimal places. In doing so, a greater accuracy is attained, and the rounding differences are reduced. Normally, the OLAP processor calculates with floating point numbers.
Exclusive attributes:
If you choose exclusively attribute, then the created key figure can only be used as an attribute for another characteristic, but cannot be used as a dedicated key figure in the InfoCube.

Master data extraction from SAP ECC

Hi All,
I am a newbie here and teaching myself SAP BI. I have looked through the forums regarding master data extraction from SAP ECC in all forums but could not answers for my question. Please help me out.
I want to extract customer attributes from SAP ECC. i have identified the standard data source 0customer_attr and replicated in SAP BI. I have created infopackage for full update. I validated the extractor checker(RSA3) and found 2 records for 0customer_attr.
When I run the info package, the info package remains in yellow state until it times out. Please let me know in case i am missing anything, Please let me know if there is any other process for master data extraction similar to transaction data extraction.

Hi All,
i did the below and afte clicking execute in the Simple job, it takes me back to the Monitor Infopackage screen.
From your info pack monitor --> menu environment-->job overview--> job in the source system--> prompts for source system(ECC) user id and password, enter them, you will get your job at SM37(ECC), select job and click on log details icon. there you can see details about your error. please share that error screen shot.
Please find the screenshots.

Function Module to send Vendor Master Data from SRM to ECC

Hi Guys
I heard there is a function module in SRM which can send Vendor Master Data from SRM to ECC please confirm for me if there is such a function Module and what is it called. Thanks

Hi,
Vendor Master data is replicated to SRM from ECC. Standard Transactions (BBPGETVD,..) will be used to replicate the data from ECC.
Vendor Master will exists in ECC, so there is no point in sending the same back from SRM to ECC. If the requirement is the other way around, we can use the transaction BBPGETVD in SRM system.
Hope this helps.

Table /dvsrepro/sepdol not present in ECC 6.0

Hi,
We are planning an upgrade from 4.6C to ECC 6.0. However while doing a preliminary study of ECC 6.0, we find that table /dvsrepro/sepdol, which is present in 4.6C is not present in ECC 6.0. We are using this table to print the output of batch jobs.
Request inputs on which is the table in ECC 6.0 that has replaced the above mentioned table, which can be used similarly?
Thanks in advance.
Mick

Thanks Max for the prompt response.
Not sure that I have understood what you meant by checking its component? Do you mean that we should check whether it is part of SAP's Aerospace and Defense (A&D) solution? Also how can we check the tables component?

Adding New attributes to Business Partner Data

Hi Experts,
I am new to SAP CRM. The requirement with me is that i have to add two attributes 'County' and 'Demographics' (both Text Fields) to the Business Partener Master. Is there some way to achieve this by configuration like by set types etc. or will i have to use workbench to add these fields. Please Help?
Thanks.
Rahul

Hello Rahul,
I think the COUNTRY should already be present in the Business Partner master data. Please follow the steps below to find the BOL Structure of the BP Address data. In this structure all the address related data would be present. I hope the fields which you are looking should already be present in this structure.
1) Run the txn GENIL_MODEL_BROWSER
2) Give the component set as BP_APPL
3) "BuilHeader" is the root object. Navigate to the relation "BuilStandardAddressRel" under the root object.
4) The child object under this relation is "BuilStandardAddress". In the attribute structure, you will find the structure CRMST_ADDRESS_BUIL . This structure holds the data.
To check the values using this BOL model, follow the steps below
1) Run the txn GENIL_BOL_BROWSER
2) Give the component set at BP_APPL
3) Go to the search object "'BuilHeaderAdvancedSearch'". Give the advanced search criteria and search.
4) The result would be displayed and try navigating to the "BuilStandardAddress" child object as mentuioend in the steps above.
Hope this helps.

Vinay

Added new attribute to WBS

Here is my current issue.
I added a "deleted indicator" to the WBS_ELEMT_ATTR on r/3, then created a new infoobject in BW (did not flag it w/master data) and added this new infoobject as a navigational attribute to the WBS_ELEMT infoobject in BW.
Went to the infosource for WBS_ELEMT and added it to the transfer structure and the comm. structure. Activated it. Then reloaded the master data for WBS from r/3. Went to "Maintain Master Data" for WBS_ELEMT and I can see the new field is populated correctly in the new field I added to WBS_ELEMT.
Then I went to the cube 0PS_C04 and marked the new attribute I added to WBS_EMEMT as a navigation attribute and re-activated it and the update rules.
The problem is in the query and when viewing data with list cube or cube contents the field is blank. But its not blank with maintain master data for WBS_ELEMT.
Does anyone have any clues as to my mistake or what I need to do. I'm needing to restrict a query based on 0PS_C04 by this new attribute I added to WBS.
Will reward points as always.
Richard

Hey Richard,
WBS_ELEMT is a navigational attribute in 0PS_C04 and "deleted indicator" is a navigational attribute of WBS_ELEMT. So, "deleted indicator" is a second level navigation attribute for 0PS_C04. This will not show you any data in the query even if you can see the data for this field in WBS_ELEMENT. One more thing is that in the update rules for 0PS_C04, you have mapped only WBS_ELEMENT but not "deleted indicator". Hence, the data is not displayed in the report.
You can handle this in 2 different ways.
1. Add "deleted indicator" to the cube directly and map it all the way down to the data source.
2. Add the "deleted indicator" to the cube and in the update rules, map it as an attribute of WBS_ELEMENT.
Unless it is mapped to the cube from the comm structure in the update rules, you can not see the data in the report. Try one of these and let us know if it works.
Thanks and Regards

How to Create Approval for New Business Partner Master Data

Hello Experts,
Is it possible for creation of an approval query such that while creation of New Business Partner:
if
a user forgets to add data in a field say TIN No. which is present in Tax Information,
then
the Business Partner Creation is withheld and sent for approval .
Can someone please help me with creation of such an approval procedure ?
Thanks and Regards,
Manish Saluja

Hello Manish...
Sorry to say there is no way to create an approval template on master data (BP, item, etc). However, we once had a similar problem and used the Alert Management to catch critical information that was missing during the creation process. Everyone had to enter a credit limit with no exceptions. I do not have the exact SQL in front of me, but it went something like this...
Very simple...
SELECT
T0.CardCode,
T0.CardName,
T0.CreditLine
FROM OCRD T0
WHERE
T0.CreditLine IS NULL
Then we set an Alert Message to go off every minute and sent it to the Accounting Department. Although it did not STOP them from adding the Business Partner, it sure did give someone the heads up to call the person who created it after looking at the Change Log. Sort of a compromise...maybe that helps you???
Take care - Zal
