Deletion of master data with / without SID

Hi Experts,
Client have requested for master data clean up.
Requirement:
"Several masterdata tables in Production system contain wrong entries. These entries should be cleaned up. The attached Excel contains the keys of the entries to be deleted"
Steps to be taken:
1. emptied/deleted content of all the cube.
2. delete data from master data
Help required:
What will be impact of deleting master data with SID when DSO data is not deleted.
What if i choose without SID option for deletiing master data
Regards
Suresh Kumar

Hi Suresh,
Deleting master data is one critical job and ned to be very care ful.
First try to find out the where used list of that particular IO. delete data from all the CUBEs and DSOs. i don't think without deleting the transaction data from all the objects that you see from where used list, you will be able to delete the maste data.
System doesn't allow you, it will say "Not all selected data is deleted" Some message of this sort when you try deleting the master data.
If you are deleting the TD and master data, why do you need the SID to be spared, delete them too. next time you load the correct master data. the SIDs are again generated.
Go thru the below thread, this gives you lot if info on MD deletion.

Deleted User Master Data with SQL Server Management Studio

Hi All
I've, recently restored an ECC 6.0 backup onto a test system. In an attempt to quickly delete most of the User Master Data from the source system, I deleted the User ID's from the USR02 table using SQL Management Studio.
But within Transaction su01, the User ID's that were deleted that way, still show up in the "F4" search. I can select one of those deleted ID's, but get an informational pop up stating that the user does not exist, if I go to display.
Does anyone know of a quick way to delete these User ID's from the "F4" search pop up?
The only way I've found so far is to select the User ID, recreate it and then delete it from the su01 transaction. This is going to take me hours.
Tried to save time, but caused more of a head ache.
Ken

Thanks Brian
Yes, I have done this in the past as well. Although for this instance, I needed to keep about 20 of the 100 + User ID's that were in the system, and was hoping for an easy way to do it.
In Table USR02, it was easy to pick all, but the 20 and delete. (Sometimes we think we're smarter than we really are I've since spoken to a Security team member and found out about there's a way to do "Mass" changes in transaction su01.
tcode us01 -> Environment -> Mass changes.

Problem with deleting old master Data from 0Material

Hello, we try to delete the master data from 0Material.
But we get the message that some data are used and can not be deleted.
We can see the error message in slg1:
"Master data 000000000100000007 (SID 7) is used in /BI0/HMATERIAL; is not deleted"
"Master data R23188 (SID 5316) is used in /BI0/D0RT_C071; is not deleted"
Can we just clear these tables? Is it enough for resolving the problem?
Thank You.

Hi,
no you just can't "clear" these table unless you want to screw your datawarehouse....
the first message means that the material with SID 7 is used in a hierachy of 0MATERIAL ==> adjust the hierarchy first.
the second message indicates that the material with SID 5316 is used in the ICube 0RT_C07 and you CANNOT delete master data if it is used in other objects.
First run RSRV for this dimension in order to see if the DIMID is really used by the fact table. Perform the following test "Entries Not Used in the Dimension of an InfoCube " with your cube and dim.
if the DIMID is not used then "correct" the error; you'll then be able to delete your SID.
If the DIMID is used then you'll have to delete your cube data if you really want to delete this material; otherwise you'll have to keep it.
Finally rerun you master data deletion.
hope this helps...
Olivier.

How to delete a master record with transaction data?

Hi,
Iam able to delete master record(GL/Vendor/Customer)through OBR2 when there is no transaction data in those respective master records. Despite of clearing all open items in a particular vendor Account, Iam unable to delete that master record. Please suggest me how we can delete vendor master data having transactional data.
Thanks in Advance
Regards,
Satish

Hi...
Not sure whether this helps....you can mark the vendorrecord for deletion and later try to delete it.
Logistics >> Materials management >> Purchasing >>
(new menu) Master data >> Vendor >> Central >> Flag for deletion
try using XK06/FK06
Assign points if useful

Deletion of master data for 0CS_ORDER

Hello Friends,
I have a requirement to enhance an IOBJ 0CS_ORDER with Order status values(2 new statues are added). I have done the enhancement part to the extractor in the source system side. Now after replication in BW, to add 2 new IOBJs in CS_ORDER, I need to delete the master data.
When I try to do this, I get the msg that some master data could not be deleted.
This is fine as we have transaction data loaded for large no. of objects which has 0CS_ORDER.
In dev, I have deleted the master data using SE14 for tables P, S , X, T.
My concern is in Production, I have huge volume of transaction data. To transport the changes, I need to delete master data. But this would require deletion of Transaction data from all IP where CS_ORDER is used.
If I do so using SE14, and tranport the changes and later load MD to CS_ORDER. Will this cause INCONSISTENCIES?
What can be other possible ways??
Please share your opinions.
Many Thanks,
VA
Edited by: Vishwa Anand on Sep 2, 2010 5:36 PM

Definitely Yes.
It will damage all the SID connections earlier which this master data had with the other objects likes transactiona objects (ODS, CUBES etc). Even You can not access the data from the cube or ODS where the navigational attributes are flagged for reading.
So do not use SE14 for deletion of MD. This is very specific to use.
You can delete the Master data as long as its not been used in other targets so that you can refill it easily and also there wont be any inconsistencies..
Hope this is clear for you..

Use of "with master data & with out master data" at DTP update level

Hello experts,
In DTP, I check "with out master data". When I try to send corresponding transactional data, It is showing SID related error. Can anybody suggest what is the use of "with master data & with out master data" at DTP level.
Thanks in advance,
Zakir.

HI
HI in DTP level If you set this indicator, the system terminates the update of the request if no values are available for a data record.
Load the relevant master data before you load the transaction data.
If you set this indicator, the system terminates activation if master data is missing and produces an error message.
If you do not set this indicator, the system generates any missing SID values during activation.
In DataStore maintenance, if you do not set the SIDs Generation upon Activation indicator, the No Update without Master Data indicator in the DTP has no effect.
thx

Delete Customer Master Data OBR2

Hi
I'm using LSMW to import data. I would like to delete it afterwards. Transaction OBR2 which is in spro Financial Accounting (New) -> Accounts Receivable And Payable -> Customer Accounts -> Master Data -> Delete Customer master data.
But it does not delete the sales are segment, it also does not allow me to delete general data if sales segment exists.
Can anyone please let me know if there is another way around this? Any other way to delete this test data???
Thanks in advance

Hi
Please go through the SAP documentation on how to perform deletion of customer master data.
This may help you in executing the function correctly.
<b>Delete Customer Master Data</b>
In this activity, you delete the master records for customers by using a program. Only use this program in the test phase.
Note
The company code for which master records are to be deleted, may not yet be flagged as productive.
Only master records for accounts which do not have any transaction data may be deleted.
Requirements
The general customer master data is only deleted for customers who are not also created as customers in Sales and Distribution.
Activities
Delete the master records for the required company codes.
Additional information
Refer to the SAPF019 program documentation for further information on the program.
Deleting Master Data
Description
This program deletes master data in Financial Accounting and is designed for preparing the system for productive startup. It deletes:
     Customer master data
     Vendor master data
     G/L account master data
You can run this program in three different ways:
1. Deleting general master data (in G/L accounts in one chart of accounts)
2. Deleting master data dependent on company code
3. Deleting general master data and master data dependent on company code
For each deletion run, you can specify whether or not the system should take into account the deletion flag in master records ("Delete per deletion flag only"). If it takes into account deletion flags, it uses the following standard logic:
Option 1: The "All areas" deletion flag must be set.
Option 2: The "Specified co. code" deletion flag must be set.
Option 3: It is sufficient to have the "All areas" deletion flag set.
Note: Deletion blocks are always checked at general data and company code-dependent data level. If there is a block at company code-dependent data level, then the general data is not deleted either. The deletion block takes precedence over the deletion flag.
General master data in Financial Accounting can also be used in other SAP applications:
     Customer master data in Sales and Distribution
     Vendor master data in Purchasing
     G/L accounts as primary cost elements in Cost Accounting
The program deletes the following:
     Change documents for master data
     SAPscript text files
     The following data is deleted for customers:
o     General master data
o     Bank details
o     VAT registration numbers
o     Addresses
o     Classifications
o     Credit management: across control areas
o     Credit management: centrally
o     Unloading points
o     Tax indicators
o     Contact persons
o     Licenses
o     Partner function limit
o     Shipping data
o     Master data in the company code
o     Dunning data
o     Linked data
     The following data is deleted for vendors:
o     General master data
o     Bank details
o     Contact persons
o     VAT registration numbers
o     Addresses
o     Classifications
o     Master data in the company code
o     Dunning data
o     Linked data
     The following data is deleted for G/L accounts:
o     General master data in the chart of accounts
o     Names in the chart of accounts
o     Key word list in the chart of accounts
o     Master data in the company code
o     Sample accounts, if selected
For customer and vendor contact persons, the addresses are not determined from central address management until the actual runtime. Therefore differences can arise as to the number of addresses in the detail log between the test run and the update run.
Automatic worklists for customers and vendors are also deleted with the general master data. Matchcodes are always deleted.
You may have to fix the number ranges after the program run.
The system makes changes to the database in the update run only. It will then also write a system log entry for documentation.
Requirements
General master data can only be deleted if no other application makes reference to the account. Use the resetting programs from
     Sales and Distribution (customer master data)
     Purchasing (vendor master data)
     Cost Accounting (G/L account master data)
If you want to delete only general master data, master data dependent on company code cannot have been created in Financial Accounting.
If you want to delete master data in a test company code, master data dependent on company code cannot have been created in any other company code except the test company code. The productive indicator cannot be set for the company code.
If a customer or vendor is referenced by another customer or vendor (for example, via fiscal address or alternative payee), you can only delete the referenced master record by deleting the referencing master record at the same time.
Furthermore, you can only delete master data in Financial Accounting if no transactions have been posted to the corresponding accounts. If there are transaction figures in one of the selected accounts, you have to manually access and run program SAPF020 (reset transaction data from a company code) before you can delete that account.
Output
The log lists every table which is processed in the program selection.
You can also create a detail log for each account type to find out why certain data cannot be deleted. The detail logs show you what other company codes and applications use the data and how customers and vendors are linked to one another.
Note
Since deleting or displaying even smaller volumes of data can result in runtime problems, you should run this program as a background job. Currently, the program individually deletes matchcodes for each master record in the database. Several match code IDs refer to each matchcode. This can place a considerable load on the database.
You cannot delete transaction data in individual accounts.
Important: The archiving programs in Financial Accounting are designed for the productive system.
If you are running this deletion program for the first time, then you must start program SAPF047 before deletion in order to generate link information.
I hope this may be of help to you
Good Luck

Delete unused master data of a characteristic in BW7.30

Hi
I try to delete some master data entries in a characteristic.
Unfortunately I got an error message:
Lock of master data attributes deletion is set.
Then BW 7.30 set an entry for the characteristic in the table RSMASD (Lock Table for Master Data Deletion) and I canu2019t delete the master data.
I try to delete the master data via a job (maintain master data) and manually (select the wrong master data in the table -> delete and save the table), but I get the same error message above.
I also delete all open lock entries in SM12 and try again, but wonu2019t solve the issue.
Can someone explain me why BW 7.30 set the master data lock and how I can delete the unused master date of this characteristic?
Best regards
Tobias

Anyone with a solution for this? We have the exact same problem.
Can the record in RSMASD be deleted?
I created a new InfoObject and inserted a new masterdata text record. Then I tried to delete it immediatly, and i got the same error. If the object is in RSMASD, it gives a shortdump in ST22. If there's no record in RSMASD, then it gives a error (Lock not set...)

     Error in the ABAP Application Program
     The current ABAP program "CL_RSDMDD_DELETE==============CP" had to be
      terminated because it has
     come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
Error analysis
    In the Open SQL work area operation used, the work area in the key part
    must be convertible to a database table.
    For Unicode semantics this means the Unicode fragment views must
    correspond in length to the databse key.
    In non-Unicode systems, both structures must be flat for the length of
    the database key, with the exception of string components. This means
    that the key parts may not contain either references or internal tables.
    In this case the key of the database table has a width of 14 bytes.
Thanks.

Needs to delete one Master Data from main process chain in development syst

Hi All,
Can any one pls suggest how we can delete the master data load from main process chain in development system.
In the main process chain nearly i am having 52 master data loads in that i required to delete one master data.
Thnanks in Advance.
karuna.

Hi...
1) go to RSPC1
2) Give the technical name of the process chain
3) in the top where we write tcode....there write COPY..and press enter...
4) then remove the start process and the desired master data loads..
5) create a new start process with a new variant..if you want to put ant condition you can put it there...
6) then link the start process with the first process..
7) activate your process chain...and schedule it as per your require...you can make it immediate run or can scedule it for a particular time...
Or if you don't want to create anew process chain...then go to the design view of the PC and remove the desired load and again activate it...
Hope this helps you...

Debjani...

How to delete the master data of a Customer created in a SALES AREA?

Hi All,
I've deleted a Customer (master data) by t.code OBR2. But it exists again in its SALES AREA.
Could anyone tell me how to delete it in the sales area too?
Thanks

Hi,
I dont think you can delete a customer. you can market it for deletion in XD06.
for deleting customer master data you have to setup an archiving project.
Also check the similar thread

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
regards
Vikash

BPC 7.5 NW: Master Data with leading zeros

In BPC 7.5 NW, is it still an issue to have Master data with leading zeros?
In other words, is it still not advisable to have leading zeros in the Master data.
Let me know your views.
Thanks.

I was also having the same issue almost in the same version.
Other than what you mentioned, the master data was also jumbling up like 0120, 0130, 0145, were set up as 120, 145, 130....
The workaround that we took was to put a leading alphabet, when the data comes into BPC.
Try doing that, it will surely help.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

Is it possible to make a delta load for a Master data with Standard DS

I have a full load bringing huge data for master data with standard datasource.
I want to run a delta due to huge no. of records but when I create a new Infopackage it dont give a option for delta update.
Are delta loads specific to only standard or customized DS's or any other reason behind that ?

I kind of understand what you are asking about, but I am unclear as to how it pertains to our BO SDK.
You are wanting to find the differences between a large dataset and another large dataset.
I am not sure what an Infopackage is.
Are you using the BO Enterprise SDK or some other product?
