Change comapny code for master data directly.

As per the requirement i need to change the company code for some records for company consolidation.
I need to convert three company codes with one comapny code.
Is it possible or there is any work arround. answers will be rewarded.

Probably not the answer you are looking for but SAP has [SLO|http://www.sap.com/services/bysubject/consulting/brochures/index.epx?PageSize=10&ActualPage=4] (System Landscape Optimization) consulting services. This service is used by SAP customers when they need to change data (master data/transactional data) during say a company consolidation.
Changing data in SAP tables directly is obviously highly discouraged, especially in a productive system.

Change communication structure for master data with direct update

Hi All,
I am having a problem with a change I want to make to some master data. I have added the attribute to the characteristic, but when I have gone to change the communication structure, its not possible (the add line button is greyed out)
I can see the new infoobject in the datasource/trans structure, but not in the comms structure (And yes it is in change mode ).
The master data uses direct update, and I have read that this causes some hassles in changing the comms str.
Can someone please give me some steps in doing this??
Thanks
Ryan

Hi Ryan,
Why u have nothing to map is ?
U r datasource trasfer structure from the source ssytem has nothing new ..
1)TO ur Info object u can only write the routing or give any formula or anythign like the trasfer rules oftions that have when u click on the IO icon..
2) Enhave the structure of the datasoruce that is getting from the R3 source system...
3) Replicate it ..
Then only u will be able to find the extra field at the Trasfer structure... to map to the IO which have been added..
hope it helps

Open Transactions in ECC for Master Data changes in MDM

Hi All,
I have a basic Design question on how to handle the impact of Data changes in MDM for any open transactions with that Master object. For eg if we have a Material set up in MDM and in ECC and there are open Purchase Orders for that Material, now if the Base Unit of Measure is changed in MDM and gets harmonized to ECC(After Workflow approval of the Change) how will it impact the PO attached to the material . Can we do any configuration in ECC that will restrict any Open PO s not to take the new changed value and any new POs taking up the new Base Unit of Measure , or can we set up an alert/notification that will trigger for a PO whenever any Master Data is changed and the PO takes the new changed value on the fly . What will be the best approach from a solution point of view .
Thanks ,
Prabuddha

Hi Prabuddha,
In ECC if a change happens to a master data not all the changes are reflected automatically in the open documents like open PO or open Sales order. Some fields values have to be redetermined for eg: "pricing procedure", some of them needs to be changed manually for eg: "Description". Moreover specific to your eg of Base unit of measure, this is a sensitive field and has lot of impact on the process so there for changing such fields it is necessary to close all the open documents against the Master data record in consideration. This fact is regardless whether the change happens through an IDoc or directly by MM02/XK02/XD02
Prabudha, Please revert if you have further questions.
Best Regards

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...

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

Why to use chnage pointers for master data idoc why not the change idoc

Hi Gurus,
I have one doubt about Idoc.
When changes to master data has to be sent Change pointers are configured and used. (CDPOS & CDHDR). In case of the transaction data change change idoc is used as is the case with orders (we use ORDCHG for ORDERS message type to send the chnage details to a order which was already sent to other system.
Why we can't use change idoc or message type whatever, instead of Chnage pointers in case of master data or vice versa in case of transaction data.
Your valuable input will be rewarded with suitable points!!
-B S B.

Hi,
It was a good question ... SAP seems never designed the change pointer to handle transactional data IDocs. Only for master data IDocs distribution purposes.
It may due to volume data ... the transactional data can change many times within a day compare with master data which hardly change or once a while.

Online Change Transfer for Master Data

HI,
whats transaction for Online Change Transfer for Master Data, and how to use it.
regards
manish

Hi Manish ,
You make the settings for change transfers in transaction *CFC9 (Change Transfer
for Master Data setting)*
For material masters, customers and vendors, the change transfer can occur
periodically or can be executed online immediately. You also have the option of
deactivating the change transfer.
You can also configure an immediate change transfer for work centers and
resources. In this case, the change transfer only concerns the header data of the
individual work center capacities.
Hope it will help you.

Function modules for Master Data

Does anyone know of any function modules that can be used to
update master data, i.e. change attribute values.
Obviously it can be done without going through a MD load, because you can manually edit master data directly in BW, but I was wondering if anyone knows of any function modules available to do this ...
Thanks for you help.

hi Mark,
take a look how to doc 'How to... update Master Data during upload of transaction data', there is sample code
https://websmp202.sap-ag.de/~sapdownload/011000358700002766042003E/HowToUplMasterDataTransact.pdf
you may need RSDDS_ATTRIBUTES_ACTIVATE to activate data.

LSMW for master data

Is LSMW used mainly for master data transfer? if yes, what can b the reason for this?
About BDC, is it used both for master data, transaction data,right?

Hi,
The LSM Workbench is an R/3-based tool that supports You when transferring data from non-SAP
systems ("Legacy Systems") to R/3 once or periodically.
The tool supports conversion of data of the legacy system in a convenient way. The data can then be
imported into the R/3 system via batch input, direct input, BAPIs or IDocs.
Furthermore, the LSM Workbench provides a recording function that allows to generate a "data
migration object" in an entry or change transaction.
In LSMW have source and target field mapping. so that data should not be lost.

How to change commodity Code for material grp in certain plant

Hi,
I would like to change commodity code for some material group under certain plant
May I know how to do this.
I went to the following SPRO path, however, the table does not mention the plant and the material group for me to change.
SD>Foreign Trade/Customs>Basic Data For Foreign Trade>Define Commodity Code/Import Code Numbres by Country.
Please let me know.
Thank.
Tuff

Hi,
Commodity codes are define at country code level not on basis of plant or material group
Weather it is one plant or many plants belongs from one company or different companies the commodity code is unique and it define by country legal authorities which are responsible for foreign trade.
You can add commodity code for country and then you individually or by mass change you can change in material master.

Unable to generate "Export data source" for Master data infoobject

Hi Gurus,
I'm in BW 3.5
I need to generate "Export data source" for a master data info object.
I followed below steps:
I ticked the checkbox "Characterist. is export data source" in the master data Info object maintenance screen.
In the Infosource area, for the desired Infoobject --> Right click --> Generate export datasource --> a dialog box displays saying "The generation of DataSource was successful"
Problem:
Even after refreshing, etc.. I couldn't find the generated datasource 8**** for the above master data. I also tried to replicate the datasource from the myself source system, but couldn't find it even there. I don't know where the generated export data source is hiding ???
Could anyone please help ????
Thanks,
Venkat

Hi Venkat,
I guess that after creating an export datasource for infoobject this DS should appear in the RSA1-Source systems - MYSELF - datasource overview (with name starting with 8). Since it's a datamart, it should appear also as system generated infosource. And in this case you would be able to assign in URs of data target the appropriate infosource (make sure that in Infoproviders tab of RSA1 you have inserted your infoobject as a data target).
However, there are some bugs related to export data source. CHeck if you see you export data source in RSA6.
If you don't see it - consider applying OSS Note #816892 - "30BSP26: Export DS for master data is not generated".
Note #876845 - "30BSP29: InfoObject change: Export DataSource not adjusted" is also may be useful.

No view of the changes of Customer /Vendor master data

Hi Experts,
I have a problem, when I run the standard report to view the changes of customer/vendor master data, I don't find the change relative to a bank account .
I found in the report the technical field that the user has changed, but I haven't found the text of the data in the tab "bank account".
Can you help me, please?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards
Giampaolo

Dear Ram,
thank you for your answer , but my problem is still present. If I want to see the modify of the Customer/Vendor Master Data for the Payment transaction Data details, I don't try this information in the TCODE FD04.
Do you know a different report or TCODE that I can use?
Thank you in advance.

Effect of 'No update' for master data texts

Hello all,
I am using flexible update - update rules - for master data text. I want to confirm effect of 'No update' in following scenario
In the fisrt set of update rules -from first source system -I have mapped both short text and long text
Key | short text| long text
......| overwrite| overwrite
K1 | some SHTX| some LGTX
In the second set of update rules, I have selected 'No update' for Long text
Key | short text | long text
......|overwrite| NO UPDATE
K1 | some SHTX |
My loading sequence is first source system followed by second source system
what should be my ultimate long text and why?
Many thanks in advance!
Regards
Sanjyot

Hi surekha,
your long text will not get changed.
Take the example you mentioned
Key | short text.....| long text
........| overwrite......| overwrite
K1 | some SHTX.. | some LGTX
In the second set of update rules, I have selected 'No update' for Long text
Key | short text... | long text
........|overwrite......| NO UPDATE
K1 | some SHTX. |
In the second set of update rules, you mentioned "No UPdate", So, when a record with the same key is found n Masterdata, it is not going to make any changes to the field Long text.
Where as short text will get overwritten.
Take some data for ex with the above mentioned type
data from source 1 : 2000 Maggi Noodles
data from source 2 : 2000 Feasters
when the data from first source system arrives, data will be 2000 maggi noodles
when the data from second source suystem arrives, as there exist this records with same key(2000), it checks for the other fiels
short text will be over written with the value in second system (according to rules its in overwrite mode)
Long text will not be updated as the rule says no update.
hope this helps,
Cheers,
Srinath.

Why we are not using "Message Control" for Master data ?

Hi friends,
We are using Message control as output determination for Transactional data, what is the main reason for not using the msg control for Master data.Please explain with details...
I am very thankful to them...
Thanks and Regards.
Naveen Kumar. Chamala

Hi Naveen,
 Listing down those I know -
 1. Master data is expected to be changed/created less frequestly.
 2. Transactional data is expected to be chnaged/created more frequestly.
 3. Transactions to create/change/display master data do no have message control integration, since you are not supposed to print/fax/mail master data to your partners.
 4. Distribution of master data in generally supposed to happen within Enterprise boundry and typically you will have one central server maintaining master data which will be distributed to multiple downstream operation system (Some thing where MDM fits). So ideally when distributing master data using ALE you will be sending it to multiple systems.
 5. Distributing transactional data PO/SO etc is same as sending fax/print which fits with the requirement of message control.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Sanjeev
