Central Master Data using Guided Procedures

Hello Experts,
I am working on a scenario where we have to create master data centrally using Guided Procedures. I don't have any idea about GP. We have to implement an approval mechanism using GP for our custom repository.
I have read the PDF document available on sdn regarding this. But its for MDM5.5 SP04 and the files are also not available for download.
We are currently working on MDM5.5 SP06 Patch2.
Is anybody working on the same scenario?? Any help regarding this, as to how to implement this scenario will be really appreciated.
Thanks in Advance,
Becky.

Hi Markus,
Thanks for your response, but unfortunately i have already referred to that link.
I am actually having problem in locating (or creating new ones), those 2 files which are deployed through SDM in the scenario given.
Can anybody help me with this part?? I am working on MDM5.5 SP06 Patch 2.
Regards,
Becky.

Creation of Vendor in MDM using Guided Procedure ...SDA not found

Hi All,
We are trying to create Master data Using Guided Procedure.
After deploying MDM components on Portal we are able to see the standard iViews provided by SAP on Portal.
We are using the following PDF to create the scenario.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/763845b3-0b01-0010-a1a6-c1763df8f049
According the PDF we have to deploy following two sda on the portal server to see the GP callable Object.
H2G_GuidedProcedures.sda
H2G_SourceCode.zip
But we are not able to find Follwoing sda on even Service Market Place.
If anyone knows from wher to download these two SDA, Let us also Know.
Thanks in Advance for Help.

Shruti.

Shruti,
While clicking on link that is given in PDF for these files its saying:
Error - download expired
Sorry, the file you want to download, is already deleted or the id is incorrect.
Perhaps we require a special ID of basis guys because it might be possible we dont have access to these files.
Just check with your ITICS team.

Creating Master Data Centrally Using Guided Procedures

Is it possible to create master data centrally using GP say for example creating Material master data without using MDM? Is there a stand out of box delivered scenario exist without MDM. I did see the article Create Master Data Centrally Using Guided Procedures but it uses MDM.
Any help appreciated.

Central Master Data Management

Hi All,
Can anyone tell me about central master data management ?
In what way it is difference from consolidation and harmonization?
I have gone through several documents but i did n't get any idea on that topic.
If anyone have knowledge on CMDM, Please explain in their own words.
Thanks
Narendra

Consolidation and Harmonization procedures are very different from CMDM (central master data management), however often times CMDM is not very useful without considering the other two as well.
Consolidation essentially means creating identity around your master data across your landscape. More specifically you want to identify duplicate records and merge them into one record. Harmonization is the process of pushing the new cleansed data back out to your partner systems.
Central master data management is the process of creating and managing enterprise level attributes in one place. One common mistake that people make is that central master data management means having one place to create your records and containing ALL data. This is not correct, MDM focuses on enterprise level attributes. In other words, which attributes are KPI's, shared across multiple processes in scope, shared across multiple systems, important for reporting, need ultimate quality, etc. Once you have determined your data model then you begin developing the workflow (if needed) around the creation of master data. This way you can easily keep your data clean and free of duplicates moving forward following a consolidation and harmonization process.

I am unable to upload the customer master data using BAPI.?

Hi Guru's,
i am unable to upload the customer master data using BAPI.(BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATEFROMDATA1)
Please guide me how upload the data...
Thanks in iadvance
Srinivas...

Hello Srinivas
This BAPI does not allow to create a new customer from scratch but only to copy an existing customer to a new one and change its address data.
The reference customer has to be provided using IMPORTING parameter PI_COPYREFERENCE. See also the BAPI documentation for more details.
The BAPI does the same like transaction XD01 with Reference.

Difference between Consolidation, Harmonization and Central master data man

Hi ..Expertise
Consolidation is use to identify duplicate records and merge them into one record.
Harmonization is the process of pushing the new cleansed data back out to your partner systems.
Central master data management means you create records within MDM and then you distribute (Syndicate) this centrally created data to your Remote Systems.
My Question is her after Consolidation both Harmonization and Central master data management is doing the same thing i.e. sending the clean data to the other system. What is the difference between these two? Please explain me with an example or scenario..

Hi Yugandhar,
There are three basic scenarios that we follow in MDM:
Data Consolidation
Data Harmonization
Central Master Data Management
Consolidation :
Conolidation (matching , normalization, cleansing) and storage of master data imported from client system. Entails capabilities to identify identical and similar objects spread across the local systems , build consolidated master data.
Key Capabilities:
1. Cleansing and de-duplication
2. Data normalization including categorization and taxonomy management
3. New interactive consolidation capabilities
Data Harmonization :
In case of Harmonization we generally aim at reaching high quality master data within heterogeneous system landscapes. Here the main focus is on ensuring high quality of master data within the connected systems and then distributing the Master data
Key Capabilities:
1. Automated synchronization of globally relevant master data information
2. New Interactive distribution capabilities
Central Master Data Management :
In case of CMDM, it is not always the scenario that the Client wants to go for the above two scenario`s, but CMDM is always required as it helps us to maintain the Business data effectively and efficiently.
After MDM is put into the business scenario all the operations related to the Master records are done in MDM only. For Eg: Creating a record, Deleting a record, Distributing a record etc.
Now it is the work of CMDM to centrally maintain the data and check that no duplicate enteries can be created.
And all the various systems that are attached to MDM gets the updates from CMDM with the help of Syndication Process or Distribution Process.
Key Capabilities:
1. Central creation and maintenance of data
2. Ongoing master data quality
Hope this would be helpful !!!!!!!!!

Error while importing Item MAster Data using DTW

Hi,
when we are importing item master data using items template
it is giving error.
Error:":connected value 1 was not found "
can any one send the oitems template that is working fine wthout any error.
Thanks,
Neetu

You cannot import data prepration templates>>Testcase1_Test Data for Import function>Oitems directly.
You will have to do certain prerequisites like setting CommissionGroup, CommissionPercent, CommissionSum,CustomsGroupCode etc., in SAP before importing Items.
So I would like you to try out with minimum fields in the template and import. After understanding, you can import the required fields.
I suggest you to use the template from "C:\Program Files\SAP\Data Transfer Workbench\Templates\Templates\oItems"

SAP fixed asset add-on. Not able to import master data using upload pgm.

Hi all,
I am trying to import fixed asset master data using an excel file into sap B1 2007a patch level 42. I am able to run the import transaction. It tries to process and then giving me a message ' Import end: Number of successfully imported assets: 0. Number of processed assets:2. We have looked at the event log file and couldn't find anything related to the upload. I have gone through other posts and didn't face this issue. Any hellp is apreciated.
Path which I am using to upload the fixed asset master master data: Administration --> Setup --> fixed asset --> import fixed asset master data.
Following points (see below) also taken into account while creating the master data sheet.
also replaced the ',' in the csv file to ';' before uploading and changed the fixed asset mode to 'transfer' in the administration --> system initialization > company detaills> basis initialization.
Thanks
Johnson zavier
Mandatory:     Item Code = Asset Class; this Asset Class must be previous defined in the Asset Settings (don't change/delete anything in the item-master data - there are the Asset Classes Z-00u2026. Are stored
     Description = Description of this Asset
     Capitalization Date = do it like this (YYYY-MM-DD). This columne must be a text format
     APC = Aquisition/Procuction Cost; when you have digits after coma please use dot for separation - don't use thousand separators; Example 23444.45
     Quantity = only mandatory, when you use the same assets stored under one asset number. Example you have ten equal chairs, so you can handle this with one asset number and quantity ten
     Dep01 = Depreciation area; this entry must be previous defined in the Asset Settings
     Depr Start date 01 = do it like this (YYYY-MM-DD). This columne must be a text format. The beginning must be the first of the month. Please compare it in this case with the capitalization date
     Useful Life 01 = calculated in months (not years)
     Remaining Life 01 = calculated in months (not years)
     Depr Type 01 = Depreciation Type must be previous defined in the Asset settings
     Ordinary Depr 01 = ordinary depreciation; this is the comulated value you can see in the asset history sheet from the old asset solution. When you have digits after coma please use dot for separation - don't use thousand separators; Example 23444.45
     Unplanned Depr 01 = unplanned/extraordinary depreciation; this is the comulated value you can see in the asset history sheet from the old asset solution. When you have digits after coma please use dot for separation - don't use thousand separators; Example 23444.45
     SpDpAcc1 01 = Special depreciation account; when you use special depreciations and you have it to balance on special accounts fill in this account. This is an exeption - in normal projects not needed
     SpDpKey2 01 = Special depreciation; when you use special depreciation you have to enter this cumulative value in this field. This is an exeption in normal projects not needed
     SpDpAccu2026 = for further special depreciation accounts; This is an exeption
     SpDpKey.. = for furhter special depreciation values; This is an exeption
Optional:     Vendor Code = when using this please be aware that the vendor code is previous defined in the system
     all others = you can use if you want. The only limitation is the type/length of these fields
     When you are ready with your entries mark from the first free row on for instance the next 20 rows than right mouse key - delete rows. This is necessary to prevent that in the background are invisible signs
     After entering in this default excel all your assets, please save it as .csv file. (the grey message - relation to information of csv - please say yes; when you close than excel a furhter message - would you save.. - please say no now
     After entering all data please save it as .CSV file. First grey window (format information) please choose 'yes'. Second window (when you close this file) please choose 'no'.
     You have now a .csv file in hands right now for uploading into the fixed assets.
     This example you can use for a test-import based on the year 2004

The issue was because of the conflict of Depr. Start Date, Use Life and Remaining Life. After I corrected the data, it worked just fine. The note 876670 helped me to resolve this issue. Thanks to Adam at Toronto SAP Business one support for his expert analysis and suggestions.
thanks

How to upload different views of customer master data using LSMW-IDOC

I need to upload customer master data using LSMW Idoc method for my client. Now customer will have different views like main view, Sales data, Company code data, Partner function data etc. And except main data all other data can be multiple for each customer. We are going to upload data from tab delimited .TXT file. Should I propose different LSMW for upload different views for the customer from different .TXT files? or we can upload all the customer related data (like main view data and partner function data )from a single .TXT file. Kindly suggest which one in convenient and how we can prepare the data file in both cases.

convinient is the method that you can handle.
but as the guy who loads the data you have to load the data like they are available, like it is convinient for others to prepare the data.
In general there is no problem to use an IDOC method to load a customer master with multiple comany codes and several sales orgs in one shot.
the data can be in one source file, but need then to be maintained in a certain way
Example1: all data in 1 structure
GD1 - CC1 - SO1
GD1 - CC2 - SO2
GD1 - CC2 - SO3
in this case the GD (general data) is redundand in each line which has different Company code data or different Sales Org data
Example2: all data in 3 sturcures but one file
GD1
.CC1
.CC2
..SO1
..SO2
..SO3
Example3: data delivered in 3 files - you join the files in LSMW, they must have a common identifier like the old customer number in the beginning of each file
FILE General data:
GD1
GD2
GD3
file Compamy code data:
CC1
CC2
CC3
file Sales org data:
SO1
SO2
SO3
LSMW is flexible and can handle each of this scenarios, are you flexible too?

Updating Q and P table of master data using ABAP program

Hi All
I have a requirement to update Q and P table(non key and non date fields) of master data using an ABAP program.
Is this something recommended?
Will there be any issues if I do that?
Thanks
Deepak

Thanks Vikram. Ok. My look up is on some other master data Q table and that is the reason why I asked about ABAP custom program.
Look like I will have to do the following approach.
Load the required supporting master data to BW.
Execute Attribute change run process for those master data objects.
Load the actual master data and look up on supporting master data.
Execute attribute change run process.
This process takes me long time and I am trying to reduce the overall execution time. let me know if you have some good suggestions.
Thanks
Deepak

Export materials master data using LSMW?

Hello gurus,
is it possible to export material master data using LSMW? Or are there other ways to do this (apart from manually selecting the desired data from the DB tables?)
It would be great if anyone could point me to some documentation on this.
We would like to export the master data from one SAP system and import it in another one.
Thanks in advance
Alicia

What I usually do is transferring the data via ALE (BD10) as IDOC to a file (instead of a different system). This file can even be located in an shared folder that can be accessed from both SAP systems
Then I use LSMW in target system, map IDOC to IDOC (almost done automatically) and import the data from this file, and beeing able to exchange field values if necessary.
