Changes to SAP BI master data reflecting in Crystal Filters

Hello All
We are looking at a scenario where Crystal Reports is used to report off SAP BI. One of the characteristics in BI is used as a filter in Crystal. If new master data value is added to this characteristic in BI, is it automatically reflected in the list of values for the filter in Crystal?
We are facing some issues with this feature even when we use dynamic filters in Crystal, please advise.
Thanks
Thankam

Hi,
when you create a report on top of the BW query the CR Designer is reading the list of values from the system and the point of creating the report. There is also a registry setting which you can use to limit the number of values being considered.
branch :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 12.0\SAP\BWQueryReportWrapper
key : PickListSizeUnlimited and MaxPickListSize
When the report is published to the BusinessObjects server and viewed online with the SAP Authentication the list of values is dynamic read from the SAP backend.

  • Export and import change document for user master data

    Dear Gurus,
    I have two queries on change document for user master data:
    1. Are there any approaches to export and import change document for user master data?
    We often do system copy from PRD to QAS for UAT and troubleshooting. Before system copy we export the user master data from QAS and then import after the copy process. We would like to keep the change document for user master data on QAS from being refreshed from PRD for security reason.
    2. Change document for Role change in QAS
    When the role is created or modified in DEV and then transported to QAS, the role change document doen't include this change log. The role change document in QAS only records those role changes directly made in QAS.
    Could you advise this is by SAP design or are there any approaches to record this transported role change  in the role change document in QAS?
    Thanks
    YBY

    1. Perhaps you want to consider a system copy to a "virtual system" for UAT?
    2. Changes in QAS (as with PROD as well) will give you the delta. They should ideally be clean... You need to check the source system.
    Another option is to generate the profiles in the target system. But for that your config has to be sqeaky clean and in sync, including very well maintained and sync'ed Su24 data.

  • Change pointers for HR master data

    Hi I am trying to setup change pointers for HR Master data , in relation to HRMD_A06 idoc , I did all the steps for setting up change pointers.
    Transaction bd52 for my reduced IDOC shows 0 entries, When i did the same for customer master data , BD52 had some entries by itself .
    I can't produce any HRMD_A06 Idocs , What am i doing wrong? Should the entries in BD52 be added manually for all the fields i need?
    Any help is much appriciated.
    Sudheer

    Hi,
    guess it's not necessary to see some entries in bd52 (it's enough to activate in bd53).
    Do you have configured RBDMIDOC (otherwise no IDocs will get generated).
    Or you run t-code bd21 for testing. Standard way is to run the report RBDMIDOC in a periodic background job.
    A good description could be found here (p. 12):

  • Best practise in SAP BW master data management and transport

    Hi sap bw gurus,
    I like to know what is the best practise in sap bw master data transport. For example, if I updated my attributes in development, what are the 'required only' bw objects should I transport?
    Appreciate advice.
    Thank you,

    Hi Vishnu,
    Thanks for the reply but that answer may be suitable if I'm implementing a new BW system. What I'm looking for is more on daily operational maintenance and transport (a BW systems that has gone live awhile).

  • 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 .

    Can you help me, please?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Non-SAP to SAP Material Master Data Transfer

    Hi Experts,
    Please indicate any standard tools in SAP and how to use it wherein we can migrate non-SAP material master data to SAP.
    Points will be awarded.
    Regards,
    LM

    Hello Leo,
    There are a number of options to do this. You can use the standard SAP tool named LSMW - Legacy System Migration Workbench (transaction LSMW) as a starting point.
    Also please read this [Documentation|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/0d/414538bc0fe927e10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm] before undertaking the data migration activity via LSMW.
    Additionally, there is also a Direct Input program available named RMDATIND - please go through the program documentation before you use it. You can use this program to transfer material master data to SAP but
    make sure you assign this program through LSMW for mapping structures etc. The internet link above will give
    more details and step-by-step instructions to follow.
    Hope this helps,
    Cheers,
    Sougata.
    p.s. It is sad to see useful answers remain unrewarded such as this one!

  • Employee Expense Management Cycle without SAP HR Master data

    Hi SAPients,
    How do we can implement Employee Expense Management cycle in SAP without implementing SAP HR Master data for the employees (employee master data is flowing form Legacy system)
    I need your perspectives on this topic.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Sudheer kumar P.

    Hi Naren,
    Thanks for our prompt reply.
    My scenario is, I have employee master data, in a legacy system, i have to manage employee expense managent cycle i.e for all the expenses incurred by the employees, have to be reimbursed in the SAP FI by treating all employees as vendors. So, I need employee master data to flow from the legacy to FI.
    Also, approvers of the expenses are also the employees, and their data is also is in legacy and we need workflows for such approvals, here also, we need OM data so as to assign agents in the workflows. this OM data is also is in Legacy.
    Now, The question is the client wants to kill HR Legacy system and do not want SAP HR to be implemented just for the sake of Expense management. So, are there any alternatives to SAP HR-PA, OM in SAP?
    Could you pls clarify me what is HR mini master in SAP? I m in a perception that it may be the alternative to SAP HR-PA, OM. Pls correct me if  i m wrong.
    Thanks,
    Sudheer

  • Is SAP MDM master data search possible through Enterprise Search?

    Hi Everyone
    I was looking at finding if the SAP MDM master data search is possible through Enterprise Search?
    Is so, Please provide a bit of technical guide on the same.
    Regards
    Navneet

    Hi Navneet,
    first releases of SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Search featured a preliminary connector to federate SAP MDM's search functionality. However, as no object level access authorization control could be implemented on the current MDM APIs, we have discontinued to deliver that prototype connector. We will be back with access-authorization-controlled connectivity in one of the future releases.

  • 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

  • Impacts in COPA of changing material and customer master data

    Dear experts,
    In my company we are considering following scenario:
    Currently mySAPerp 6.0 is implemented for all modules for the mother company.
    We have developed a new global template where there are significant changes versus the existing system, especially in the SD processes. Material and customer master also change significantly in terms of content in the tables/fields and/or values in the fields.
    The idea was to build the template from scratch in a new machine and roll-out all group affiliates, but now we are considering the possibility of making an evolutionary of the current system and try to stretch it to the processes defined in the global template.
    The scenario we want to analyze is: Keeping same organizational structure in terms of Company code, CO area and Operating Concern in existing SAP client and make an evolutionary of the existing settings to the global template processes.
    The doubts we are having are the following:
    Changing material & customer master data: Impact in COPA
    Option 1: Material master data and customer master data codes are maintained but content in the tables/fields is changed substantially, both in terms of logical content of specific fields and/or the values in the specific fields. We have following examples of changes.
    Case 1: source field in material master changes logical content. E.g. Material master field MVGR1 is currently used for product series (design line) and the content changes to be the Market Segment. The product series will be moved to a classification field. At least 5 other fields are affected by this. How can data in terms of COPA line items be converted so that they are aligned at time of reporting?
    Case 2: the source field is not changed so that the logical content of the field remains but the values change, i.e. for the same concept there will be different codifications. How can data in terms of COPA line items be converted so that they are aligned at time of reporting?
    Case 3: Characteristics where currently the source material master field is a Z field and the derivation is via table look up and where the Z field changes to a classification field. How can you convert the existing COPA line items to ensure that attributes are aligned? Should new characteristics be created or just change the derivation logic of the characteristic?
    Option 2: Material master data and customer data codes are re-created (codification of records is changed), meaning that new material and customer codes will exist and content in tables/fields is changed (as in option 1)
    Case: material and customer codes are changed. How can data in terms of COPA line items be converted so that they are aligned at time of reporting?
    Iu2019ve never phased a similar scenario and I fear that maintaining operating concern while changing source master data and also SD flows (we have new billing types, item categories, sales doc. Types, order reasons) may lead to inconsistencies and problems in COPA.
    I would like to ask you experts if you have come across a similar scenario and if from your experience, it is something feasible to do or there are many risks involved. What can be the impact of this scenario in existing Operating Concern for both option 1 and 2 and what would be the key activities to perform to adapt the existing operating concern. What will be the impact of the needed conversions on P&L reporting?
    Sorry for the long story. I hope you can help me out.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Eric

    Hi,
       First i think you will need to test if it works for new COPA documents created via billing.
      If it works fine then the issue is if you wish to apply these changes to the historical data already posted.
      Normally there are transactions like KE4S where you can repost the billing document to COPA
      However this may not be viable for bulk postings
      You can perform realignment (KEND) but this only works at the PA segment level (table CE4XXXX)

  • How to avoid changes in Inactive pernr master data

    can be do it level wise or Period wise?
    Thanks,

    Dear Sandeep,
    Your suggestion will work if Payroll is in process, in my case one of my client subsidiary having no payroll process in the system.
    Client having PA,OM,Training & Event Mgmt. PMS, Time Mgmt. Process  in SAP but not Payroll.
    Payroll locking is not working as control record not maintained due to No payroll process in System.
    there are huge data based of employee master with inactive status & requirement  is to restrict the changes in inactive employees data.
    can we do it ?

  • SEM-BCS on SAP-BW master data alignment

    We are implementing SEM-BCS rel 3.2 on SAP-BW 3.2
    In the SEM infoproviders some standard BW info-objects are used such as 0CO_AREA, 0COMPANY etc.
    These info objects are also used in BW infoproviders.
    In SEM-BCS the masterdata that is already available in these infoobjects is not visible. The documentation describes that the SEM system is leading concerning the master data.
    When we create masterdata in SEM for these infoobjects, with te same key as used in BW (the same company number), it creates new records in the BW masterdata table and so deleting the attribute values in the BW tables.
    Note 689229 describes some synchronization programs that can be used to synchronize master data from SEM into BW. It is also possible to use these programs to initially synchronize the BW masterdata to SEM so you don't have to create the master data in SEM but only have to enhance it.
    Has anyone have experience with this issue and can you provide me with information what to do and what not to do.
    Thanks, Wil Heijmans
    Trespa International

    Hi Wil,
    it's right you'll have to synchronize the master data. When we implemented SEM-BCS 3.1 we had some problems with the reports so we used the following routine.
    1. Upload attributes into SEM-BCS.
    2. Put them into the hierarchies if needed.
    3. Synchronize attributes to BW.
    4. Do attribute change run in BW.
    Synchronizing hierarchies was a bit painful so we decided to use different hierarchies (it helped at some other points too because we needed additional features in BW hierarchies like other InfoObjects).
    Synchronizing BW attributes into SEM-BCS attributes was even worse because the standard BCS attributes could not be filled this way.
    We worked on early SEM 3.1 as one of the ramp-up customers. The programs may have changed in the meantime but the one above has worked for us.
    Best regards
       Dirk

  • 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.

  • Can I use export my SAP created master data in a non-SAP system?

    Hello,
    I am about to start a large integration solution with my SAP customer and they are concerned about licensing. What they want to do is export their GL, cost centre and WBS master data to an external system via integration (probably custom ABAP, or home built BAPI/RFC).  The external system then uses the accounting data to determine where to post FI or MM documents back into SAP via custom ABAP, BAPI or maybe IDOC).
    Is this OK?  Are there any licensing issues with master data used externally and posted back in via custom ABAP or standard BAPIs/IDOCs?
    Thank you in advance,
    Geoff

    Hello Geoff,
    Yes, even indirect access to SAP transactions or data needs to be licensed properly with SAP. Your customer should contact their SAP account rep to discuss the exact use case. Indirect access via certain types of certified integrations may qualify for Platform User License pricing, but there is no generic answer, and it is best for the customer to discuss their specific case directly.
