Creating a Master Data InfoObject: BI 7:

Good day again.
BI 7
On the Master data/Text tab when creating an InfoObject...
I have a question or 2:
(1) Should the tick for "InfoSource with Direct Update" be selected if I create the IO and using Transformations and DTP?
(2) If I only want to load MD to the InfoObject, should it be marked as "Character is InfoProvider"? I am asking this, becuase when I create the DTP, it requests that I select the InfoArea for the IO Infoprovider. Do you always have to load master data to and IO in BI7 to an InfoProvider as well?
Thanks in advance.

Hi.......
(1) Should the tick for "InfoSource with Direct Update" be selected if I create the IO and using Transformations and DTP?
Characteristic is an InfoSource with Direct Update": Means that the char itself will be the InfoSource. This is the case with majority BW InfoObjects and in this case you do not need update rules to load data to the InfoObject. Take a look on the InfoSource area of RSA1 and you will see many examples of such InfoObjects.Select this field and press F1............you will get the document........
(2) If I only want to load MD to the InfoObject, should it be marked as "Character is InfoProvider"? I am asking this, becuase when I create the DTP, it requests that I select the InfoArea for the IO Infoprovider. Do you always have to load master data to and IO in BI7 to an InfoProvider as well?
Yes.......This indicator shoul be set.....to use the characteristic as an infoprovider.........I mean creating transformation,DTP........But you cannot set this indicator directly..........But rather you can set it by entering infoarea into the respective field...................or after creating the infoobject go to infoprovider tab in the left........Choose the infoarea >> right click on it >> Insert characteristic as an infoprovider..........then this field will get ticked automatically and the infoarea also get automatically assigned.........
And only IO stores master data...............Infocube will never store master data.............DSO can sometimes store master data...........

Steps to create customized Master data infoobjects in BI 7

Hi all,
Can anyone please send the detailed steps to create customized master data infoobject in BI7,and also the data is to be extracted from two different datasources from two different source systems.
Regards,
G.Monica Roja Flora.

Some data modelling tips while creating master data infoobject and extracting data from different source systems -
If there are identical characteristic values describing different objects for the same characteristic in various source systems, you have to convert the values in such a way in SAP BW so as to make them unique.
For example, the same customer number may describe different customers in different source systems.
You can carry out conversion in the transfer rules for this source system or in the transfer routine for the characteristic.
If work involved in conversion is too great, you can compound the characteristic to the InfoObject Source System ID (0SOURSYSTEM). This means it is automatically filled with master data. The Source System ID is a 2-character identifier for a source system or a group of source systems in BW. The source system ID is updated with the ID of the source systems that provides the data. Assigning the same ID to more than one source system creates a group of source systems. The master data is unique within each group of source systems.

Overwrite data of master data infoobject

Hi all,
We have one master data infoobject ZASRYHMA. This infoobject does not have any attrbiutes but it has two compounding fields ZSITE and 0DISTR_CHAN.
Now customer has a requirement in which value of ZASRYHMA can change for a particular site and distribution channel. Generally if this value changes then system creates a new entry in tables /bic/pzasryhma and /bic/szasryhma.
What they want is to overwrite the existing entry.
Is it possible to achieve? It's a master data infoobject.
Please provide your kind help.
Regards,
Nilima Rodrigues

Hi,
You have three fields as key field in table as shown below along with values,
ZASRYHMA     ZSITE         0DISTR_CHAN
A-1                     B-1            C-1
A-2                     B-2            C-2
now if you want to change the value of say second row to
A-3                    B-2             C-2
right?
This is not possible just by overwritting in the info-object master data. Because these are key-fields system will treat A-3 as new value and create new entry, on top of this your A-2 master data values must have been used in transactional data.
Only way I can think of is to delete the transactional data where ever A-2 is used and then delete ZASRYHMA master data and then upload master data for ZASRYHMA with new values. And then transacional data.

Data not uploading in Time dependent Master data Infoobject

Hello All,
I have a master data infoobject for HR entity and have to load data from PSA to that info object.
The HR entity infoobject already have sone data like below:
HR Entity
Version
Date from
Date To
x
A
01.07.2013
31.12.9999
x
A
19.04.2013
30.06.2013
x
A
01.09.2012
18.04.2013
x
A
01.01.2012
31.08.2012
x
A
01.01.1000
31.12.2011
Now the data in PSA is as follows:
HR Entity
Start Date
End Date
X
01.01.2012
18.12.2013
Once I loaded this data to the infoobject, i can not see this value which is the latest value of this HR entity.
Can somebody please explain how the data gets loaded in the time dependent master data infoobject and why this entry is not getting loaded in the info object.
Regards
RK

Hi,
did you activate master data after your load?
You can check also version 'M' records and see if your record is there.
The load went green?
The problem is, that your entry overlaps all exisitng time intervals, which can't be deleted or merged as there may be dependent transactional data. You have first to delete the transactional data for this entity.
Then you can delete the time-dependent data and reoload it from your PSA.
BW will build then correct time intervals.
The easiest is to change the time interval in PSA, see example below:
At the moment the time interval is not accepted. But you can add time intervalls before 31.12.2011 and after 01.07.2013, Then system will create remaiing time intervals, e.g. your new record is:
HR Entity
Start Date
End Date
X
01.08.2013
18.12.2013
Result will be:
HR Entity
Version
Date from
Date To
x
A
19.12.2013
31.12.9999
x

01.08.2013

Creation of Master Data InfoObject

Hi All,
I need to modify 0COMP_CODE Master data Infoobject, with adding some fields as attributes.
I need to add few fields to 0COMP_ CODE, based on tables.
And 0COMP_CODE should pull data from source tables while used at reporting.
Can you please help me on this.

Hello Sri,
You can add the required inobjects in the Attribute tab of 0COMP_ CODE masterdata object.
Also mark them as Navigational if you want them to be used in reports for drill down, navigation etc.
Now either you can enhance the masteradata datacource for 0COMP_ CODE in source system or create your own custom datasource. If you are modifying the already existing DS them you would have to write ABAP code in CMOD for those fields you are adding to 0COMP_ CODE.
Replicate it to BW. Activate the datasource. Create transformations(modify transformation in case you haev modified the already existing DS) to update these new fields to 0COMP_ CODE masterdata attribute.
Now rest of the things are same, like create DTP or IPs etc.
Now as you would have marked these new objects as Navigational in 0COMP_ CODE masteradat attributes tab, you will be able to use them in query design.
Hope it helps...

Request deletion from Manage-Master data infoobjects

Hi All,
I have a master data infoobject, for which i have created a process chain for deleting the data. I am deleting the P and S table in a program.
When i run this chain data is getting deleted from the tables, but i see the request (green/red/yellow) in the manage section of the infoobject. I want to delete those entries as well from the manage section.
Any inputs ?
Regards,
Sandeep

Hi,
to delete those entries you will have to delete the entries from standard SAP tables...all the tables begining with RSREQ stores the information about the requests...but you may not have authorization for that...
did you tried RSDMD_DEL_BACKGROUND or RSDMD_DEL_MASTER_DATA_TEXTS function modules....you can use in the program and use at as a ABAP variant in the process chain.
Thanks

How many tables are created in Master data loading ( Including hierchy )

hi ,
Please anybody , can you tell us how many tables are created in Master data loading ( Including hierchy )
thanks
Phani

Hi PP,
Depending upon the definition of an infoobject, the tables are created when the objects are activated.
/BI<C OR DIGIT>/<TABLE CODE><INFOOBJECT>
<C or digit>: C = Customer-defined InfoObjects
digit = SAP-defined InfoObjects
<table code>: S = SID table
T = Text table
P = Time-independent master data attributes
Q = Time-dependent master data attributes
M = Union of time-dependent and time-independent master
data attributes
X = SID table for time-independent navigational attributes
Y = SID table for time-dependent navigational attributes
H = Hierarchy table
K = Hierarchy SID table
I = Hierarchy SID structure table
J = Hierarchy interval table

Simple basic question on attribute data load for Master Data InfoObject....

Hi
I am a bit confused & wanted to have some clarification on the following:
1) For loading Attributes data to Master Data InfoObject, we load it through Data Source of Type Master Data Attribute.
But what i did, i created Data Source of type Transaction data and using the same Excel file, i was able to create transformation with Matser data Attribute and was able to load the data.
This shows i can use Data source of type either master data attribute OR Transaction Data doen't matter while loading into master data attribute. IS THIS TRUE?
2) I have 2 master data infoobjects (Test1 & Test2). I made Test2 as an attribute in Test1.
My question is while loading Master data for Test1, will it also load the data into Test2 if it doen't find respective data in Test2?
(i did all the transformation as per need.)
Waiting for your reply....
Thanks...

HI Harpal,
1. Did you make a transformation between attribute data source from source system other than flat file and DSO?...
I think PC File is flexible in this aspect..
2.While loading Test1 the infoobject Test2 will get loaded only if it is a navigational ttribute..(You can see this by refering the SID Table)
Please also note that it does not load Test2 attributes.
regards,
Rakesh.

Load Master Data InfoObject using Query as Datasource

I there a way to use a BW Query as a Datasource to load a Master Data InfoObject. I have a query that calculates DSO for a customer and would like to update a custom DSO attribute in 0Customer

As Bhanu mentions, Analysis Process Designer would be an option. I did not use it before 3.5, but I know it did not have all the capabilities it has with 3.5.
I don't think there is any need for transactional ODSs in the process however. You can specify your query as the DataSource, specify any filtering / transformations needed, and then specify the InfoObject that is the data target. I haven't used a query to create Master Data with it but I do use it to take Master Data as input, manipulate it, and then update that Master Data.
The APD is covered in BW380 along with Data Mining - which is a good class if anyone is interested.
Is it easy enough for someone to pickup without training on it? I don't know - I think it would be for someone that has experience with the BW Admin Wkbench and has time to experiment. I think the related Data Mining features would require training.
APD has a lot of powerful capabilities that could be used to solve a variety of challenges not readily solved with the Admin Wkbench tools. I'm not sure why SAP hasn't done more to promote it.

Data load stuck from DSO to Master data Infoobject

Hello Experts,
We have this issue where data load is stuck between a DSO and master data infoobject
Data uploads from DSO( std) to master data infoobject.
This Infoobject has display and nav attributes in it which are mapped from DSO to Infoobject.
Now we have added a new infoobject as attribute to the master data infoobject and made it as NAV attri.
Now when we are doing full load via DTP the load is stuck and is not processing.
Earlier it took only 5 mns of time to complete the full load.
Please advise what could be the reason and cause behind this.
Regards,
santhosh.

Hello guys,
Thanks for the quick response.
But its nothing proceeding further.
The request is still running.
earlier this same data is loaded in 5 mns.
Please find the screen shot.
master data for the infoobjects are loaded as well.
I can see in SM50 the process at P table of the infoobject the process is.
Please advise.
Please find the detials

Master Data is in Revised Version while transporting a request to add an attribute in existing master data infoobject

Hi Experts,
I am facing short dump when trying to send a request to add an attribute in Master Data Infoobject from DEV to QA.
Although the attribute is getting added to main Master data Info object but main master Info object is in Revised Version.
I have been searching the solution in SCN from couple of days and tried every single solution but none of them works for us.

Hi Tom
Thanks for your reply.
I am not sure what do you mean by Manually activated in Dev or QA . If you mean Dev then i did and also maintain the infoobject related tables using transaction SE14 but still same error.
But if you mean in QA then QA is lock for manual activation but i tried though program RSDG_IOBJ_ACTIVATE but again failed. I also maintain the infoobject related tables using transaction SE14 but still same error.

Error while loading to master data infoobject hierarchy (0RPM_PORT_ITEM_HIERARCHY)

Hi All,
I have an issue while loading the data from psa to master data infoobject.
DTP Error:
When we had extracted the data from ECC to PSA, the values for field "IOBJNM" are not populated for 0RPM_PORT_ITEM_HIERARCHY
Thus it is throwing an error while populating this data to the target.
From where this field will fetch the values?
Why these values are not being populated from ECC?
Will there be any issue from BI side? can anyone help me on this.

Hi Raman,
yes I had extracted data in RSA3
There are no values for the field "object".
Do you have any idea why these values are missing?

Not able to create customer master data with country code US

Hey All,
I am not able to create customer master data in the Transaction Code XD01/FD01 with the country code as US.
The error message for the same is NO JURISDICTION CODE COULD BE DETERMINED. I have checked the tax code settings but could not locate the problem.
Request you to provide me with a solution.
Thanks & Regards
VK

Hey all,
I have checked the field in the account group(OBD2) but its in optional status
and also checked the country settings for US in the transaction code OY17 still the same error message, but when i tried checking the settings for a differnt company code's customer data base i can see that there is a number mentioned in the address tab under tax jurisdiction feild (beside time zone) which is not populating for this company code.
so, do anyone know where exaclty we mention this number so that it populates in that field of address.
hope am clear
hope to receive a solution
thanks & regards

What Function Module can be used to create vendor master data in SAP R/3?

Hello -
I've been trying to find a standard SAP delivered BAPI that can be used to create vendor master records in ECC 6.0. Up to this point I have not been able to do so. With SAP MDM solutions and SRM solutions it seems logical that SAP would deliver a standard BAPI that can be used to create vendor master records in the ERP/R3 environment (similar to the BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEREPLICA for creating material master data records).
I have been able to find BAPI_VENDOR_CREATE but this only calls the online transaction and does not offer much additional functionality beyond what transaction code XK02 already offers.
The next best alternative appears to be IDOC_INPUT_CREDITOR but our preference would be to not use IDOCs for the project we are working on.
Can anyone offer any insight or personal experience on how vendor master records have been successfully interfaced with SAP R/3? Did you have to use IDOCs or create a custom RFC call? Thanks for the help!

Quite a gap in the BAPI arsenal. I think the options are IDoc, which you don't want, good old program RFBIKR00 (requires flat file for input, can be used via LSMW) or DIY (very complex).
