Comparison terms for SPL Master Data

Dear All,
Can anyone please explain what is the significance of Comparison terms and how they are useful in SPL screening? and why do we generate comparison index
I have gone through the help.sap documentation, but did not understand clearly. Any help is appreciated
Thanking in anticipation.
Regards,
PATHIK

To enable SPL screening,you need to configure the control settings for comparison terms. This setting enables the SPL data as well as Business Partner (Customer, Vendor, Employee..) data to convert in to a comparison index of the search term. For SPL check, the system uses the comparison check of the search term generated to display the results.

Evaluate Comparison Terms for SPL

Hi,
Can anyone explain me how the Evaluate Comparison Terms in SPL work and what it is supposed to do? I've read all there is about it on the internet but nothing helped.
What I do not understand is what the meaning of the fields
Address Component
Name Component
and Origin Search terms.
Can anyone make an example?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Marc

Hi Marc,
Yes I agree the help info is not very helpful, I think the fields are suppose to work as follows:
Number of remaining search terms:
The minimum number of entries. i,e the mimimum number of times a term has appeared in the index generated for the general address area or general name area.
Origin of search times:
The % frequency of the term per specific address component
Example:
Legal regulation SPLUS
List type DPLEU
Address component - 20
Name - 10
Name 5 %
Street 5%
So on executiion of program the system will analyse all the indexes already generated for SPLUS, list type DPLEU and display the name elements that have been generated atleast 10 times and represent 5% of "name" terms, as well as "street" terms that have atleast 20 terms generated and represent 5% of the "street" terms.
Hopefully this helps?

GTS SPL Master Data Refresh

Hi all,
We are planning to refresh SPL Master Data in GTS System, We have excessive record in GTS System.
SPL records in production system is not in sync with records we are getting from 3rd party.In production system we have more than 190K records whereas actual entries should be 55K according to 3rd party system.So first Question is how to find out excessive record?
Second How to Archive those records in GTS System.?
Can anybody please help me on above issue & also best approach to refresh?
Thanks
Rajrishi Gupta

Hi Rajrishi,
You can archive the SPL master data. That shouldn't be a problem. But I was trying to understand how there were extra entries created. Did you get chance to check with your provider, if there were 190K entries provided by them in the past and now they have reduced it to 55K?
For archiving SPL master go to GTS Area menu-> System Administration->Archiving->(SPL section) Archive Master Data. Archiving Object will be SPL_MD. This will let you delete the existing SPL data.
Once done, you can upload the latest XML file. After uploading you will have to rescreen all your partners which might take some time and there might be some blocks. Please try this in your sandbox and check the results before proceeding ahead.
Audit trails stores data of your Document,BP SPL screening,blocking, releasing reason etc. For an example, say you had a document blocked with one of your old SPL master and the same was saved in Audit trails. Now if you delete the actual SPL master, I doubt if Audit trail will give you the exact result.

Delta for cubes & master data

Bonjour,
I am a bit confused about some concepts of BW. Hope to get clarified here in good ole SDN.
1. Infocube is said to be ADD only. Yet, its data deletable eg. by request. How do I interpret this? Is it deletable only by requests? How about selectively as detail as single records? How about field level deletion (instead of a whole record)?
2. Is a 'new' image (rec mode "N") = 'after' image (rec mode " ")?
3. How is Repair Request compared to Pseudo Delta? Are they both only and must selectively delete by month / time char only? Can either be deleted by single records?
4. Master data is said to be usually overwritten. How is it so? What Delta type(s) are we talking about by this? How is Master data aggregated? Can it be? What does serialization and duplicate master data processing mean? How can master data prevent duplicates?
What's the usual and possible practices to manage delta for Master data attr,txt,hier?
Awaiting your reply.
best regards,
Pascal Gabin

1. Infocube is said to be add only because it is different from ODS or master data where you can 'merge or overwrite' data. When 2 records are loaded into an Infocube, if they are different in any one field, they will be stored as 2 seperate records (in the fact table of the cube). Whereas if 2 records are loaded into an ODS, and the records are similar in terms of the key of the ODS, only 1 record will be created in the ODS with the second records details overwriting the first if there is a clash.
From a cube you can delete data either selectively by specifying ranges or delete an entire request. You cannot do field level deletions.
2. No they are different. Let us say there is a record with 2 fields Customer and Amount being loaded into an ODS. First record loaded is (Pascal, 10.00). Then there will be a New-image record (Pascal, 10.00,N). After this a second record (Pascal, 15.00) is loaded. After this there will be 3 records.
Pascal, 10.00, New Image
Pascal, -10.00, Before Image
Pascal, 15.00, After Image.
All 3 add to 15.00.
3. Not able to understand your question. Deletion of all requests are I think the same. Selective deletion can be done only for a Infocube not for an ODS. See answer 1.
4. Master data usually changes very little. For eg, a customer 100013 is always 100013. Once in a while his phone number might change. When it does, it is picked up by the delta and the existing record in BW is overwritten. There is only one type of delta for master data. Not sure of what is the exact name. Master data is aggregated by specifying the key to the master data table.
The best practice is to maintain delta only for large master data objects (Customers, Materials etc). For all of these SAP has provided delta-enabled datasources which can be used. For the rest, full-uploads suffice.

How to use LSMW on CRM for bulk master data creation?

Hello Experts,
I need your help to able to use LSMW on CRM for bulk master data creation. Below is described my detailed requirement; -
We have CRM 2007 integrated with SAP ISU (ECC6.0). As per business process all Business Master Data (BP details, Business Agreement details etc) and Technical Master Data (Connection Object, PoD etc.) is created in CRM and then it is replicated in ISU. We are going to start Assembly Test soon. Now we need to have all master data in place. Tool we want to use is LSMW.
Now can you help me right from scratch on how to use LSMW for bulk master data creation in CRM?
Please give me documents / links etc that is relevant.
Regards,
Rohit

Hi,
I have looked into your query.
These are some information which might be useful to you.
What is LSMW?
Legacy System Migration Workbench or LSMW is SAP standard program that can be used to easily load / change master data or transactions in SAP without any programming at all. It can be used to upload data at cutover, such as: open orders, contracts, materials, vendors, stock on hand. It can also be used in a production system to make changes to existing data. Very limited authorization checks are available on the transaction, so the use of it must be very well controlled.
One input file can be used to create all the views of the material master. For all the material types. Even if different views and fields are used for the different materials.
Steps to take
1. Create text file with data to be loaded
2. Set up and run LSMW
The following link will provide good information on LSMW Idoc method:

Match code for Vendor Master Data on PAN

Hi
Vendor match code will work only if the name are identical. But for the same vendor, user create multiple vendors.
For Ex: If the vendor name is ABC Private Limited, User puts different names like ABC Pvt Ltd, ABC P Ltd, etc.
Hence the match code check is over ridden.
For that reason, i want check on the basis of PAN number.
There is no field for PAN number in match codes field.
Please suggest how it can be maintained

Hi ,
Use the exit SAPMF02K , which is specially ment for vendor master data .
Cheers ,

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.
Cheers,
Julius

BR
Chris.

Hi,
you can add new tab on the screen and provide your custom field on that tab. You have to add a new tab for any Technical Object by doing some configuration changes in SPRO. first go to SPRO and in screen sequences add a new tab sequence against the profile. Now in the function group SAPLXTOB you can see this new tab screen. Do your requirements on this screen.
Reward if useful and get back to me if you need any help.
Thanks,
