Conversion routine PROJ in case master data doesn't exist

Hi gurus!
I have a problem with info-object 0PROJECT. It has a conversion routine PROJ, which converts the values nicely from external format to internal only if the master data for such project exists. If I use a interval variable in bex query the query user needs to give the upper value in internal value (for example Y3000 instead of Y-3000) in case he or she doesn't know if the value exists in database or not. That is understandable because of the logic of conversion routine PROJ (uses attribute project_ex).
But what explains the fact that query variable input value Y3000 doesn't give data of Y-3000, but only one smaller (Y-2999). To get data of project Y-3000 one has to give upper variable value Y3001.
Has anyone better understanding of this query/conversion behaviour?

In master data updates, you can either load time-dependent and time-constant data individually, or together.

What is conversion routine which is found in data element

Hi all,
I was just trying to creating a data element assigned to a particular domain in se11. While i am creating i can see a conversion routine
Can anyone tell me what is the use of that conversion routine with an example.
thanxs in advance
hari

Hi,
Depending on the data type of the field, there is a conversion when the contents of a screen field are converted from display format to SAP-internal format and vice versa. If this standard conversion is not suitable, it can be overridden by defining a conversion routine in the underlying domain.
Conversion routines are identified by a five-place name and are stored as a group of two function modules. The function modules have a fixed naming convention. The following function modules are assigned to conversion routine xxxxx:
CONVERSION_EXIT_xxxxx_INPUT
CONVERSION_EXIT_xxxxx_OUTPUT
The INPUT module converts from display format to internal format, and the OUTPUT module converts from internal format to display format.
When is a Conversion Routine Executed?
If a screen field refers to a domain with a conversion routine, this conversion routine is executed automatically when entries are saved in this screen field or when values are displayed in this screen field. The conversion routine of the domain is also triggered when the field contents are output with the WRITE statement.
Table SPFLI in the flight model contains information about the flights offered by the carriers. The time for each flight is recorded in field FLTIME. Enter and display the time of the flight in input templates in the form HHH:MM (hours:minutes). Store the flight time entered in the database as an integer number (number of minutes of the flight). An entry 3:27 is therefore stored in the database as 207 (3 hours, 27 minutes = 207 minutes).
Field FLTIME refers to domain S_DURA, to which conversion routine SDURA is assigned. The value is thus converted by the two function modules CONVERSION_EXIT_SDURA_INPUT and CONVERSION_EXIT_SDURA_OUTPUT.
A conversion routine can also be triggered by specifying its five-place name in the attributes of a field in the Screen Painter or with the addition USING EDIT MASK <Name of conversion routine> in the WRITE command in the program. With the USING NO EDIT MASK addition in the WRITE statement, you can skip a conversion routine defined for a domain when outputting.
Parameters
The two function modules of a conversion routine must have precisely two parameters with the names INPUT and OUTPUT for the value to be converted and the converted value.
The INPUT parameter in the INPUT conversion and the OUTPUT parameter in the OUTPUT conversion should not have any reference fields because the value passed in the call could have a different length than that expected.
Programming Conversion Routines
ABAP statements that result in an interruption of processing (such as CALL SCREEN, CALL DIALOG, CALL TRANSACTION, SUBMIT, COMMIT WORK, ROLLBACK WORK, MESSAGE I, MESSAGE W) are not allowed in conversion routines.
Only A messages are meaningful in output conversion, but A, E and S messages can be triggered in input conversion (although S messages are not very meaningful here). E messages result in an error dialog. Exceptions are not intercepted in the call.
The output conversion is also triggered with WRITE and WRITE TO. The conversion routine may therefore occur very frequently with lists. The output conversion should therefore be programmed as efficiently as possible.
No external performs should be used in conversion routines. Programs that are called externally use the table work areas of the first calling main program. In conversion routines this can result in errors that cannot be easily analyzed since they are sometimes called at unpredictable times in the program flow.
Pls refer link which contains code as an example to conversion routine used in abap.

Read Master Data doesn't work

hi guys
i tryied in everyway to use read master data in a transformation in BI 7.0
but ii always retrieve errors
"No InfoObject available for reading of master data".
source SODS with
infoobject A Master data ( Attribute Ab)
target TODS with
infoobject Ab
infoobject A Master data
i want to write in the target ODS not only the master data A but also his attribute Ab
when I go into the Transformation Rule for Ab, I choose the Rule Type "Master Data Read" and I should be able to select the A infoObject in the Source InfoObject list,
and Ab in IOassignmnt but when I try, I only get an error message saying "No InfoObject available for reading of master data".
i searched into the forum and there are other cases like this not answered
thanks

I just resolved this problem on my computer running Windows 7 64 bit. \
Try the following:
Open Adobe Reader XI
Choose Edit > Preferences
A dialogue box will open with a "Categories" Column on the Left, and another broader section on the right with items to check
FROM THE LEFT COLUMN choose "Security (Enhanced)"
Now look to the right of the categories column; you will see a check box with "Enable Protected Mode at Startup" checked
Uncheck that box.
When Adobe asks you if you're sure, choose "yes"
Close Adobe and then restart the program.
Open a pdf document THAT IS NOT A SCANNED DOCUMENT
Choose View > Read Out Loud > Activate Read Outloud
Then click on a section of the doucment you want read. It will be bounded by a box and start reading.
You may also choose to read the entire document or a single page.
Hope this helps.

Maintain number range interval for master data upload for existing employee

Hi Experts,
1)I have the scenario to upload additional data for existing employees in PA. Employees are already existed in SAP HR , But additional Infotypes are required to maintain for those emploees
2) I have the senario where i have to upload master data for new employees.
Pls give the detailed description of how to maintain number range interval i.e. External or Internal for upload in both the above scenario. Do we have to maintain number range manually in master data record & then upload it Through BDC or LSMW?

> Pls reply ASAP
Yes Mr. Patil...
For existing employees
you need to execute HIRING ACTION Through BDC with External number range. While recording you have to use atleast three infotype i.e. IT0000,IT0001,IT0002. In addition you can upload other infotype through PA30.
For new employees
While configuration you can create another number range as internal for new hiring. and use NUMKR feature as well.
Here I don't understand that why r u looking for upload process for new hiring, if it is not mass hiring. It should be day to day activities which would be done by user through PA40.

Export the master data from the existing B1 DB and importing to a new B1 DB

Hi
Is there any way to export the master data like item, GL, Business partners from the existing B1 database to a newly created DB. (export from the exissitng DB to a new DB as such) so that all the data will be available in the new DB without transactions
Thanks in advance

Dear Sanath
You may use CopyExpress Add on to do the same . Here you can copy masters from one Database to another with out transactions . This process is very easy also. Some of the customizations also u can do the same way.
Thanks and Regards

How to remove conversion routine "ABPSN"

Dear gurus,
In my transfer rules, under the tab "DataSource/Trans. Structure", I have a field PSPID whose "Conversion Routine" has the value "ABPSN". This conversion routine converts the external format to the SAP format which, however, is not what I want. I want to remain the original format so I need to remove this "ABPSN" conversion routine. When I double clicked it, it linked to the InfoObject 0PROJECT maintanace screen. On that screen, I removed the conversion routine "PROJ" for 0PROJECT, but still ABPSN remains and the data loaded into the InfoCube have been converted.
So how can I remove this ABPSN convertion routine?
Thanks in advance.
Jin Ming

Hi Jin Ming,
Conversion Exit ABSPN is related to WBS element and not project at R/3 side.
But at BW side this routine internally calls Project routine .
The Process is,
1. Delete all transactional data , from related ODS & Cube wherever 0PRoject is used .
2. Delete master data from 0Project.
3. Change object 0Project remove the conversion using Tcode RSD1.
4. Load master data for 0Project.
5. Load transaction data.
Hope that helps.

Transactional Data Load without Respective Master Data in Place

Hi Folks,
Could anyone let me know if i could load transactional data without loading the respective master data. If yes, well could you give me a scenario when you do it. Also could you let me know the option of how to load transactional data without master data in place.
Best Regards,
Prithvi

Hi,
You can load transaction data without loading master data.
You have the option in the info package to load data even if no master data exists..
You may use it in cases where your transfer rules/update rules or routines donot refer to master data tables to populate transaction data..

Use Conversion Routine in Infopackage

Hello friends,
I would like to know whats the purpose and function of 'Use Conversion Routine' in the Infopackage under 'Data Selection' tab. I wasnt able to get any data as long as that box was checked.As soon as I unchecked the box, i was able to get data.Please explain in detail.
Points will be assigned.
Thanks.

Hi,
The function of "Use Conversion Routine" is to convert the data that user enter in the field (is called external format) into internal format (database format).
example Alpha Conversion (general used): in the field ABC (assume this char is 8 characters long) you enter value '1234' and you check that box, this will look up into your data source with value ABC = '00001234' and match then data will be extracted, but if in your data source the value of field ABC is '1234' the data won't be extracted.
in your case, please check in your data source at field you selected whether the data format match or not with value that you have entered(with condition checked or unchecked).
I hope it helps
Cheers

Attr Change Run Master Data Infoobject PChain

In the master data process chain process type Attribute Change Run which is usually at the end of the chain updates the changes in the master data infoobjects.
The Chain is usually designed with full infopacks and say if it is scheduled every night , isn't it loading the master data again ( duplicating ) and again even though considering the process type Attribute Change Run at the end.
Is it like just the attribute change run is executed for updates ?If thats the case why do we need a process chain for Masterdata...if its only one time full ..that can be done manually right?
Am I missing something here ...?

If you look at the detail in the Monitor for a Master Data load, it will tell you how many recordssent from R/3 and how many records were updated and inserted.
As far as static master data that deos not regularly have new records or changes - you're right you don't need to load those objects daily, they could be loaded perhaps monthly.
You might consider balancing how fancy you try to get with breaking up master data into different groups, loading some daily, and other sweekly, others monthly, etc. In our case we use to have a fairly elaborate master data load schedule, loading someobjects 1st Tuesday of the month, others 2nd, Tues, others 3rd etc, and then we had weekly loads and dailys. When I began to review the run times involved, it was apparent that the various monthly loads, in total, ran less than 10 minutes, so I just consolidated the 4 differently monthly maser data loads and the weekly loads all into a single process chain. While much of the this master data doesn't change much, it was much easier to just schdule mastr data either daily or weekly, rather than getting too elaborate.
Now if run time of master data loads or change runs sarts to become an issue, then you might have to adopt a more elaborate schedule. It really depends on your environment.

Can we use idoc technique to change or delete the vendor master data?

Hi,gurus,
Can we use idoc technique to change or delete the vendor master data?You know we can create vendor data using idoc CREMAS03 as the receiver adapter,but when change or delete the specified vendor data,must we use RFC adapter technique?
Another question:I found the bapi which creates a vendor master data doesn't have the parameter account group,then we turned to idoc technique.But which adapter should I use when change or delete the vendor data?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
>>>I found the field of the segment of deletion flag at different level,and very appreaciate your help.
yes - LOEVM - but remember this will not delete the record but only mark it for deletion
>>>It's a long time to wait for your new blog,what new and interesting things do you find?
at least 4 new in my head - 2 simple but important and 2 new + I'd also like to write something for XI guys about

Hierarchy for Master Data Load from BW

Hi All
I'm loading Master data from BW infoobject 0Customer. There is no Hierarchy maintained for it in BW.
Rather than creating hierarchy manually in BPC, I want to include mapping in transformation/conversion file which should roll master data records coming from BW to ALL_CUSTOMERS (member manually maintained in BPC). ALL_CUSTOMERS will be parent node for the hierarchy in BPC. No other levels of hierarchy is required. All the data should have one parent.
Something like PARENT=*STR(ALL_CUSTOMERS)
Please share your ideas? Help is very much appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Asif
If you are laoding master data from BW infoobject, you will not be able to load /specify any value for ParentH1/hierarchy node as BW /BPC does not allow that.
An option would be to
1) load hierarchy from a flat file or
2) to maintain hierarchy in BW amd load into BPC the normal way

Master data data sources

Hai,
experts,
i have an doubt ,for master data v have any special cockpit is there as LO,
if som of the master data supporting delta means,
how the delata mechanism work for that data souces?
how the master data arrives from table to PSA?
take for example how the master data comes from 0mat_attr data souces to PSA?
and y v required the LSMW for import the master data to table?
plz explain am struggliing in this

Hi Natarajan,
The ans to ur questions are below.
We do not have special cockpit for master data load such as LO Cockpit. We do not have the delta management concept, as in the case of LO extractors. In most cases, master data load is always taken as FULL Load.
However, we can go for a pseudo delta in many cases when the vol becomes huge.(Intervals can be used for an year in such cases) For e.g. master data load for Notification, Sales Order etc. For IOBJ 0MATERIAL as well, we use a FULL load.
LSMW is for migration of master data from legacy systems. If the source is R/3 only, then u will nt use LSMW. It may be required, if you need to get some historical data from a legacy system to BW and need to store in the same IOBJ.
Hpe this helps,

SID table in the general tab and master data/text tab

Hello Bi Experts,
For example 0material Info-object:
There is a SID table in the general tab i.e /BI0/SCOMP_CODE
There is another SID table Attribute in the master data/text tab i.e /BI0/XCOMP_CODE,here there are Nav attributes with name S__0COMPANY.
When i got 0company info-object it got its own SID table i.e /BI0/SCOMPANY
Can some body explain me what is significance of SID table Attribute in the master data/text tab and what is difference with SID Table of attribute?
Cheers,
Stalin

Hi,
SID is surrogate ID generated by the system. The SID tables are created when we create a master data IO. In SAP BW star schema, the distinction is made between two self contained areas: Infocube & master data tables/SID tables.
The master data doesn't reside in the satr schema but resides in separate tables which are shared across all the star schemas in SAP BW. A numer ID is generated which connects the dimension tables of the infocube to that of the master data tables.
The dimension tables contain the dim ID and SID of a particular IO. Using this SID the attributes and texts of an master data Io is accessed.
The SID table is connected to the associated master data tables via teh char key
Sid Tables are like pointers in C
Tables Starting with Description:
M - View of master data table
Q - Time Dependent master data table
H - Hierarchy table
K - Hierarchy SID table
I - SID Hierarchy structure
J - Hierarchy interval table
S - SID table
Y - Time Dependent SID table
T - Text Table
F - Fact Table - Direct data for cube ( B-Tree Index )
E - Fact Table - Compress cube ( Bitmap Index )

Loadin Master data Attribute from ODS

Hi experts,
I have a Master data as Infoprovider:
CASE with attributes at1 and at2.
I loading master data.
Another infoArea, I have and ODS ( case, field1, field2) that is loading with DELTA.
After loading the delta, I want to update the AT2 from CASE master data.
Which is the best option to loading an attribute from ODS? FULL? DELTA? What happend if the duplicate key error appears??
I believe that with a DELTA Update from ODS to CASE will not be an error.
thanks a lot!

Hi,
I dont think so there sould be problem in further update from ODS to Attribute.
It would be better to keep the Delta in Further update.

Sharayu
