BCS - master data change in productive system?

Hi group,
We are about to go live with our BCS system, but of course someone got the great idea of changing the company code currency for one of the "non-SAP" companies in the group since the sytem was set up.
When I enter the consolidatin workbench in our production system, everything is considered customizing, so no changes are allowed - even to master data. I''ve searched the "Object changeability" settings of the BW system but couldn't find any settings regarding BCS. I also checked settings in se06 and found a namespace "/FINB/" which I suspect has something to do with BCS (currently set to "Not modifiable")?
What are the correct system settings for the BCS system to function correctly, and what is the normal procedure for maintaining master data in SEM-BCS? - by transport requests or by changing directly in the productive system?
Best regards
Thomas
P.S.: Are there any usefull resources for BCS on the Internet? The help in the system is very limited and I can't find anything on the SAP marketplace.

Hi Dan,
Example: you have a single selection containing a set (not range) of separate values. Then you decided to change the set (adding one more value, for example). Are you saying that this single selection change in DEV will be reflected automatically in PROD? 
From my experience I know that while using single selections, the system replaces it by the set/range/node. And when a single selection was changed, nothing yet happened with elimination settings using SS. You have to go into each part of the settings in the method and refresh the SS. You'll see that only after that the set of values was changed. It's obvious for me that if I don't do this refreshing in DEV and then import the request into PROD, I'll have the old, not modified, version of my settings.

  • Transferring Product Master Data Changes From APO to ECC/R/3

    Is it possible to transfer product master data changes in APO to ECC via the CIF?  If so, does it require custom coding?

    Hi James,
    In all the different clients where APO is being used with ECC systems. ECC system is always the main system (system of record) which contains all the master data and data present in ECC supposed to be the reference for APO system for planning purpose.
    Generally it is not recommended to transfer master data from APO to ECC but as mentioned earlier by some experts you may have ways to do that.
    I would be interested in the business scenario where one needs to transfer master data from APO to ECC.
    Thanks,

  • Does a Master Data Change Log or Report Exist?

    Does anyone know of a master data change log or report?
    Such a log or report would show all changes made to cons units, cons groups, and items; including additions, deletions and changes to a hierarchy.
    We hope to use this to synchronize cons group/unit and item hierarchies between BCS systems: Production and Development.
    For example, if a master data change was made in the Production system, we would like to log the change, and synch this change back to the Development system.
    Thanks for any insight.

    Thanks, TheScotsman, for really helpful information!
    Some detail of the findings for those who interested:
    There is a "How to... trace changes to master-data  and settings for SEM-BCS" which describes all nuances of tracking changes in MD.
    The HowTo mentions the reports RSVTPROT , UGMD_DB_LOG_DISPLAY, and a t-code SCU3 that may show the changes.
    Certainly the code of the reports might be taken as an example for writing your own code.
    Though, the reports and the SCU3 are useful when the logging of DB tables changes is activated.

  • 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

  • Long DDIC Activation for Master Data Change During Transport

    Good Morning Folks,
    During transport of a change to a custom master data object to production, the data dictionary activation is taking a very long time and using a very large amount of space. 
    The change to the master data object was adding three additional navigational attributes. This master data is not time-dependant.  The master data contains about 1.2 million records and has 49 active navigational attributes u2013 including the three new ones.  The Data Dictionary activation is executing report SAPLRSDU for more than 8 hours and is using upwards of 52GB of temp filespace (of 92GB allocated) during this time.  To the best of our knowledge, it looks as if it is trying to recreate or repopulate the /BIC/Pxxxx table of the master data.   It looks like it's reading billions of records (probably the same 1.2 m records over and over.)
    There are no errors in any logs that we can see. 
    Previous changes to this master data object have been successful, and reasonably fast.  And the transport of this change from Dev to our QA environment was very fast.
    We still need to get this change in, as well as additional changes that are dependant.  Why would this take so long, and is there anything we can do to get this to run faster?
    BTW:  We are on 3.5 (but looking forward to NW7.)
    Thanks, Brian

    Brian,
    Usually adding nav attributes would mean that the X and y tables get regenerated...
    Also do you notice reads only on the P-Table or other tables which have this object as well..?
    If it is only the P Table - try refreshing the stats for the same...

  • 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.

  • Issue with Master data change workflow in GRC PC 10.1

    Hi,
    I have configured the work flow for master data changes in GRC PC 10.1, however approver is not able to view the request in inbox where are the organization owner is able to see the review for change request in inbox.
    Please let me know if there is any config where we need to set the approvers for workflow, so that the system creates a request for approver.
    Regards,

    Dear Giridhar,
    Please, check the following configuration:
    1. Activate the workflow (Path: SPRO -> GRC -> Shared Master Data Settings -> Activate Master Data Changes)
    2. See whether Checkbox "Approval" is ticked for the selected entity
    3. If you activate master data changes, please check whether the correct roles are indicated in the Maintain Custom Agent Determination Rules in the Workflow settings.

  • 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
    <b>changes for vendor not yet confirmed.</b>
    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:
    <i>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.</i>
    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.

  • Loading master data in BI production

    Dear Experts,
    While loading master data in BI production we are facing error when updating IDOCS.
    __MONITOR ADMINISTRATOR WORKBENCH__
    STATUS:
    ERROR:Error when updating IDOCS in source system.
    DIAGNOSIS:Errors have been reported in source system during IDOCS Update
    SYSTEM RESPONSE:Some IDOCS have error status
    PROCEDURE:
    Check the IDOCS in source system.You do this using the extraction monitor.
    ERROR:How you ressolve the errors depends on the error message you get.
    SO can anyone tell why this type of errors occured? What will be the reason behind this?
    Thanks in advance.
    Warm Regards,
    Bunty.

    Hi Bunty,
    Your Idoc error is a general error, the first of all will be to know what is the concrete error with the Idoc, for this reason, please do the following checks and let us know the results:
    1.-) Execute the tx.code SM58. BD87 and WE05 and give us your feedback, tell us for each tx,.code if some errors are shown.
    2.-) Do you display some error if you go to tx.code SM59 - Select RFC Destination "Source system" -> Authorization test?
    3.-) Please ensure that your remote user has the correct authorization profiles in both BW and R/3. You need to set your     
         profiles for ALEREMOTE as such:
       1) in BW -> the remote user (usually 'ALEREMOTE') must have
           profile 'S_BI-WHM_RFC'
       2) in R/3 -> the remote user (usually 'ALEREMOTE') must have
           profile 'S_BI-WX_RFC'
    This is explained in more detail in note 150315.
    Also, you must ensure that you have sufficient DIA processes in both your BW and R/3 systems. DIA work processes are necessary for the processing of IDOC's. And if there are not sufficient DIA work processes, the load may hang in status 'yellow'. Note 561880 gives more information about this:
      1. Make sure there is always sufficient DIA, that is, at least 1 DIA more than all other work processes altogether, for
          example,  8 DIA for a total of 15 work processes (see also note 74141)."
    4.- ) Please identify if the Idocs get hanged in the the source system, and if these Idocs cannot be processed manually in        Tcode SM58 please implement the correction from note 1280898. // I hope it helps you. Best regards. Fran.

  • Looking for SAP solution to extract data from the production system

    Hello,
    we are looking for the SAP standard tool to extract data from the production system and copy it to the development system. It should be as functional as some kind of partial client copy. The data, which we need to replicate is master and transactional data from FI, CO, AA MM and nice to have FS-RI modules. There is a product offered by the IntelliCorp called "Data Management" but we would like to know if SAP offers its own product.

  • Master Data Changes-MAP

    Hi,
    After goods received into warehouse Moving Average Price gets change, this is good and Okay. But what ever the changes in Price is not capturing in master data changes.
    Can any one help me how to make enable those changes..like when ever Moving averange price changed that changes should be captured in Master data change log (MM04-Display changes).
    So kindly advice is there any configuration setting for that?

    Hi Saran Babu,
    The moing average price is determined in automatic by the system and this is not something that you can defined.

  • Master data synchronization between SAP systems

    Dear all,
    I have 2 SAP systems and I'm required to synchronize some kinds of HR master data between these 2 systems, how can i achieve that without any ABAP developments?
    Does anyone give me any suggestions or others?
    Best regards,
    Bean

    Hi Bean,
    You can achieve this using IDoc and PI using following scenario.
    1) Populate IDoc in 1st SAP system and pass it to the second system as direct IDoc to IDoc transfer.
    Ex: Basic Idoc Type: HRMD_A07
    2) If direct communication between two XI system is not allowed then you can use PI as middle ware to transfer data.
    But for IDoc you need to create partner profile and ports etc.
    Hi,
    Thanks so much for your kind help.
    How to make the transferring automatically whenever the specified kind of master data is changed.
    Best regards,

  • Equipment Master data changing automatically

    Dear All,
    this is weird but our SAP system is changing equipment's master data once it is created.
    we have blocked all the possible chances of using T code "IE02-EQUIPMENT MASTER DATA CHANGE" at user end.
    we are finding it very difficult to track because every time the equipment's action log displays new SAP ID's . we have checked with same ID but any where it is not possible for that user to have an authorization for IE02
    it mainly changes the master data such as description/Manufacturer/Model number etc into some weird information. and this is happening at any  time where in some cases it has been found that at 3:00 am or 4:00 am. we had also checked any background job is running  at same timing but we couldn't found out any such case and this is happening without any prior notice so it is difficult for us also to monitor the same
    if you have gone through same experience please share with us.
    thanks

    Kiran,
    I fee that you must investigate through table CDHDR. Run Tcode SE16 --> Give value CDHDR --> Enter.
    Here input values as under ( OBJECTCLAS, OBJECTID, USERNAME) and Execute.
    In the output, you observe the values of fields TCODE, UDATE. You will come to know whether these changes are happening through IE02 or some other Tcode.
    Also you should try without giving the USERNAME also. In this case you will get the lines of both normal changes and surprise change also in the output, where you are likely to find out what is happening.
    In a similar way, you can investigate through table CDPOS also.
