BPC 7.5 NW: Master Data with leading zeros

In BPC 7.5 NW, is it still an issue to have Master data with leading zeros?
In other words, is it still not advisable to have leading zeros in the Master data.
Let me know your views.
Thanks.

I was also having the same issue almost in the same version.
Other than what you mentioned, the master data was also jumbling up like 0120, 0130, 0145, were set up as 120, 145, 130....
The workaround that we took was to put a leading alphabet, when the data comes into BPC.
Try doing that, it will surely help.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

Create Master Data with leading zero

Dear Expert,
Our customer request to create Customer Master/Vendor Master/Material Master with leading zero. For example: they want to create Customer 0234578.
I can do that for material, would you please advise how to do the same for customer/vendor?
Thanks you,

Dear Mr.
Our customer number is in numeric, then this error happen. If customer number constants 1 char, then system will keep zero leading (ex: 012A4) But if customer number constants only numeric, even i type zero, system will remove leading zero.(01234 ==> 1234)
Please help.

Padding a julian date with leading zeros ?

Hi,
I have gernerated a julian date, which I am appending to another two digit number to create a five digit serial number.
Is there a simple way to pad the first 99 days with leading zeros ( i.e. 001, 002....025...099) so that I maintain a five digit serial number ?
I am using Get Date In Time/Seconds > Number To Decimal String > Unbundle >Number to Decimal String.
Thank you in advance for any advice,
Alan

Here's the simplest way to do it (with he 2 digit number), I believe:

Export to Excel - data with leading zeros

Does anyone have any tips or tricks for running a query then exporting to Excel without dropping leading zeros from the data?
Examples: numeric Item codes with leading zeros, telephone numbers that have been entered with no spaces.

I liked the challenge and therefore.......I got this for you
</Font>
SELECT CHAR(28) + T0.CardCode [BP Code\] FROM [dbo\].[OCRD\] T0
SELECT CHAR(29) + T0.CardCode [BP Code\] FROM [dbo\].[OCRD\] T0
SELECT CHAR(30) + T0.CardCode [BP Code\] FROM [dbo\].[OCRD\] T0
SELECT CHAR(31) + T0.CardCode [BP Code\] FROM [dbo\].[OCRD\] T0
Any of the above 4 should work. T0.CardCode is the database field I tested, you can substitute this with any database field and it should work.

BPC Error while loading master data from SAP BW

Hello Guru,
I have NW BPC 7.5 installed on BW server. Currently i have started to work on one application where i have to load master data first. I am loading master data for cost center.
I looked into the process chain "BPC: Import BW InfoObject master data" and i found that few processes are in GREEN color and few are in RED color (Display). is that correct or not ? then as per some of the thread i went to "BPC: Convert BW infoObject master data" --> SOURCE_TYPE = IP and added one parameter "FORMULA_FILE_NO". Then i saved this process chain and activated it.
I created transformation file in BPC and it got created successfully but while i try to load packages it throws me error.
Q. Do i need to have entire process chain with all processes in GREEN to have the master data in BPC ?
Q. Do i need to activate any BADI's for this or not ?
I appreciate your help in advance. I trie

Hello Guru,
Currently i am getting below error while loading costcenter master data from BW to BPC.

Deletion of master data with / without SID

Hi Experts,
Client have requested for master data clean up.
Requirement:
"Several masterdata tables in Production system contain wrong entries. These entries should be cleaned up. The attached Excel contains the keys of the entries to be deleted"
Steps to be taken:
1. emptied/deleted content of all the cube.
2. delete data from master data
Help required:
What will be impact of deleting master data with SID when DSO data is not deleted.
What if i choose without SID option for deletiing master data
Regards
Suresh Kumar

Hi Suresh,
Deleting master data is one critical job and ned to be very care ful.
First try to find out the where used list of that particular IO. delete data from all the CUBEs and DSOs. i don't think without deleting the transaction data from all the objects that you see from where used list, you will be able to delete the maste data.
System doesn't allow you, it will say "Not all selected data is deleted" Some message of this sort when you try deleting the master data.
If you are deleting the TD and master data, why do you need the SID to be spared, delete them too. next time you load the correct master data. the SIDs are again generated.
Go thru the below thread, this gives you lot if info on MD deletion.

Use of "with master data & with out master data" at DTP update level

Hello experts,
In DTP, I check "with out master data". When I try to send corresponding transactional data, It is showing SID related error. Can anybody suggest what is the use of "with master data & with out master data" at DTP level.
Thanks in advance,
Zakir.

HI
HI in DTP level If you set this indicator, the system terminates the update of the request if no values are available for a data record.
Load the relevant master data before you load the transaction data.
If you set this indicator, the system terminates activation if master data is missing and produces an error message.
If you do not set this indicator, the system generates any missing SID values during activation.
In DataStore maintenance, if you do not set the SIDs Generation upon Activation indicator, the No Update without Master Data indicator in the DTP has no effect.

Error handling for master data with direct update

Hi guys,
For master data with flexible update, error handling can be defined in InfoPackege, and if the load is performed via PSA there are several options - clear so far. But what about direct update...
But my specific question is: If an erroneous record (e.g invalid characters) occur in a master data load using direct update, this will set the request to red. But what does this mean in terms of what happens to the other records of the request (which are correct) are they written to the master data tables, so that they can be present once the masterdata is activated, or are nothing written to masterdata tables if a single record is erroneous???
Many thanks,
/ Christian

Hi Christian -
Difference between flexible upload & Direct upload is that direct upload does not have Update Rules, direct upload will have PSA as usual & you can do testing in PSA.
second part when you load master data - if error occurs all the records for that request no will be status error so activation will not have any impact on it i.e. no new records from failed load will be available.
hope it helps
regards
Vikash

Is it possible to make a delta load for a Master data with Standard DS

I have a full load bringing huge data for master data with standard datasource.
I want to run a delta due to huge no. of records but when I create a new Infopackage it dont give a option for delta update.
Are delta loads specific to only standard or customized DS's or any other reason behind that ?

I kind of understand what you are asking about, but I am unclear as to how it pertains to our BO SDK.
You are wanting to find the differences between a large dataset and another large dataset.
I am not sure what an Infopackage is.
Are you using the BO Enterprise SDK or some other product?

Bank detials Maintained in Vendor master data with out Sort code / Bank Key

Hi
We have a Requirement of creating Japanese bank details in Vendor Master Record. But No Bank key / sort code is available.
Even for Russian Bank accounts we donu2019t have any bank key / sort code available from client.
System does not allow to create vendor bank details with out providing Sort code/ Bank key details.
Is there is any way of creating bank details in Vendor master data with out giving Bank key details.
Regards,
Karunakar.

Hi,
I assume you fill in Sort Code in bank number field.
In my company, our bank number is set not to duplicate bank key.
So bank key is simply a reference. And our bank number field is not mandatory.
If you follow these settings, you can create an abitrary bank key for your vendor bank account.

Download records to EXCEL file with Leading Zero's for numbers

Hi All,
I am able to download the data to EXCEL file on the presentation server.
There are few fields (Plant,SalesOrder Number ..with Leading Zero's) in the record.
These values are downloaded with out Leading Zero's to excel( EX: 0000004122 as 4122).
Please help me to download the data to EXCEL file with leading zero's.
Thanks and Regards,

HI KC,
then no need to download the zeros,
after uploading, loop at that uploaded internal table and use CONVERSION_EXIT_APLHA_INPUT and pass the vbeln(without zeros) to this FM, it will return the value with added zeros.
hope this solves your query
a small example
Loop at itab into is.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'
EXPORTING
INPUT = is-vbeln "( this is without zeros)
IMPORTING
OUTPUT = is-vbeln. "( this is with leading zeros)
modify itab from is.
endloop.

** Please help urgently ** Budget upload field with leading zeros

We need to load a characteristic that has leading zeros. For example 0000350. When saving down to CSV, we lose the leading zeros (0000) so that only 350 is loaded into BW. Saving the codes as 'text' in excel does not seem to help.
We cannot therefore see the name for any of these codes when refreshing the workbook in BW.
Could some please urgently tell us the correct method to save the file for loading into the BW infopackage, with all zeros intact ?
Regards, Frederick

Hi Frederick,
Just some additional thoughts,
assuming field A1 in Ecel contains 350 and you want to create a string with 8 digits, you could use formula '=text(A1;"00000000")' in an empty column and copy it back to column A. Then 00000350 should be provided in A1. This can be saved in a normal .csv file and be opened with a text editor (e.g. notepad) in order to check content.
If you don't want to manipulate Excel data, transformation to a field with leading zeros can be easily be processed with a routine in transfer rules.

IMO it makes more sense to use a native number data type as that is what a sequence generator outputs - and then render that as a text string with leading zero as "+how it looks like+" is a presentation layer issue.
I would not use a numeric sequence generator to generate unique strings as surrogate key values. There are inherent problems with mixing data types like that.
