BW Extraction Error_Article Hierarchy

Hi SAP friends,
While performing the article hierarchy copy function activity, we got an error.
BW extraction: Incorrect update of node Y-XXXX
We used the tcode WMATGRP06N to perform the copy function activity.. This error is getting only for specific nodes.
Can any one help us in solving this issue.
Thanks
Kevin Easaw.

Hi Kevin,
Please refer the below notes for reference,

Hi Vikrant,
There are two ways of Uploading the mass files in a single way
First one: "Portal Drive" and another one is WebDev so you can follow both the process of uploading bunch number of files in portal content server.
WebDav process
Click on Repository ->details> Setting> Access Link-> Copy the WebDav path and paste it into address bar of the Explorer
Than click on Webdav and enter the username and password than you can easily entered the directory and paste the file easily.
Portal Drive
Mention the Exact path in the Server URl -> Go to Work Online--> than they require Username and password after that they
can directly enter into the server where you can store ur file.
This will helpful to you.Or If you need my help in portal drive so i can write the step by step.

Extract the hierarchy in Parent child format from HP

Hello,
I have a hierarchy within Accounts dimension which I need to move to the other application in the different environment. I donot want to move the whole dimension. I just need to move a hierarchy. Is there a way I can extract a hierarchy in Parent child format with properties and move the same in to the next one.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Cheers,

Hi,
Below code assumes that you have 2 alias tables and assymetric hierarchy (having 4 to 6 levels) in accounts and all level 0 accounts are 6 digits. If you wish to remove the second alias table from the code simply remove references to it (i.e. aliastbl_id=50030). You can customize the extract top level member by modifying this section: (select object_id from hsp_object where object_name='Total Expenditure')
This outputs the structure in a fixed columnar format having all levels in different columns.
Code:
select o1.object_name as LVL1, o1.object_name as LVL1_DESC_EN, al1.object_name as LVL1_DESC_AR,
o2.object_name as LVL2, o2.object_name as LVL2_DESC_EN, al2.object_name as LVL2_DESC_AR,
o3.object_name as LVL3, al3.object_name as LVL3_DESC_EN, alar3.object_name as LVL3_DESC_AR,
o4.object_name as LVL4, al4.object_name as LVL4_DESC_EN, alar4.object_name as LVL4_DESC_AR,

Article Hierarchy in IS retail

Hi,
I am inserting articles in the article hierarchy through a BAPI (BAPI_WRF_MATGRP_CHANGE) from an excel file which is assigning the articles correctly to the required node.
My problem is : I need to insert 2 nodes ( for MC and GBB) in this hierarchy. This data is also maintained in that excel.
Need help .
Thanks

BW Problem Extracting Custom Hierarchy

Hello Experts,
I have built a completely new hierarchy of new custom master data in R3. I then have used BW07 to create a datasource to extract the hierarchy data with no problems.
I have then created a new infoobject in BW and I have successfully loaded the master data. However when I assign the new Hierarchy datasource it shows the transfer structure with my infobject but with length 0 rather than the correct 8.
When I then perform a data load I get error the error "Syntax error in generated program, row 33". Looking at the code it has indeed got a data element defined with length 0.
What am I doing wrong? Everything seems to be generated, replicated and active. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I cant find anything similar on OSS and I would have thought this was basic functionality.

I have found the answer to this problem.
If the data element the hierarchy datasource is based on does not have a domain BW07 will not pick up the length of the field.
I here by award myself 2 Gold stars

I am creating Article Hierarchy B1, by using transation WMATGRP01 and entering in the screen of creation of Article Hierarchy and when i am giving to create a Hierarchy Node the system is automatically generating the Hierarchy Node number, which i want to enter manually as per client"s requirement. Please advice how to create the hierarchy node manually.

Hi Javeed,
It could be due to External Number Assignment not checked
Goto:
IMG>Logistics - General>Article Hierarchy-->Edit Hierarchy Levels
and check the external no. assignment.
See if the problem resolves.
Hope it helps.

Changing Activated Article Hierarchy Structure

Hi Experts,
Is it possible to change Activated Article Hierarchy in IS Retail ECC 6.0.
When i try to do in Tcode: WMATGRP02, system is throwing following Error Message.
"" Only limited changes are possible to active article hierarchies     Message no. RTCMMD058
Diagnosis
    Every change to an active material hierarchy has a direct impact on the
    applications that use the data of an active hierarchy (for example,
    merchandise planning, assortment planning, reporting, etc.)
    Only limited changes to active material hierarchies are possible.
    Changes are only allowed to the material assignment.
    Node assignments can be displayed. ""
Any Input is highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Selvakumar. M

hi Selva, I'm curious on how the above has been resolved. I'm new to Retail and would like to get your inputs on whether an active hierarchy can still be changed and if so, what are the steps (trying to add another level to an existing node, e.g. new sub-department under an existing department). Appreciate your inputs. Thanks!

Extracting Territory Hierarchy into BW

All - I am hoping someone may be able to help out with this issue.
Within the 0CRM_TR info object, the hierarchies are set up to be time-dependent. This means that they are valid for a specific time.
When we created our infopackage to load data, all hierarchies are set up to be valid for only 1 month.
First question:
1. Is there a way to load a hierarchy and have the validitiy period valid until 12/31/9999.
Also, I attempted to create a generic hierarchy that has validity dates from now until 12/31/9999, the only problem with that is that I cannot figure out how to load it. The hierarchy does not show up in the infopackage for 0CRM_TR.
Second Question:
2. If we cannot load into a hierarchy that has a valid to date of 12/31/9999, how can we get queries to identify which hierarchy is the valid one. Currently we created a restricted variable for Territory and its pointing to this month's valid hierarchy. We do not want to have to update queries on a monthly basis.
Any help would be appreciated.
Luis

Hello,
I know this is a very late reply, but here is the solution
a. Implement note 887201 on the CRM side. This would make the infopackage extract the hierarchy valid on a certain date ( infopack execution date) and set its validity to only one day.. Dont Panic!
b. Make the Hierachy structure in BW time-dependent.( currently the hierachy is time dependent)
This should solve your problem

Differences between Article Hierarchy and Merchandise Category

Hai Gurus,
Can somebody distinguish the differences between the Article Hierarchy and Merchandise Categotry? Which one is better to use? Both seems to have a similiar functionality but why SAP had proposed Article hierarchy and Merchandise category seperately?

Hi Voyeurhuman,
if you have not typed correctly, then you might be interested to know the difference between Articel hierarchy & Merchandise hierarchy.
pls go thru following:
Article Hierarchy
.grouping of articles with sales oriented approach
.customer oriented structure
.Consumer decision Tree
.maximum eight levels
.planning hierarchy used for sales plannng in MAP
.multiple no. of Article hierarchies at a time with schedule article hierarchy i.e. with time dependent functionality
.can be define for distrubution chain dependent
.can be transported to BI
.data can be imported as wellas exported using interfaces
.sub structure of one can be copied from one to another
.Major characteristics-->responsibility, reference assignment, price point group assignmnet, merchandise distributio(fashion/basic), role,strategy/
.multiple assignment of articles is not possible within same category
.it can be assigned to department store and shops with pre-requisite of multiple assignment checked
Merchandise Hierarchy
.its a purchase oriented approach
.it classify and structure all aspects of the merchandise
.purchaser decision tree
.An unlimited number of hierarchy levels is possible
.terms are used in merchandise category hierarchies
     -Merchandise category hierarchy levels
     -Merchandise category hierarchies
     -Characteristics profiles
.All the elements in the merchandise category hierarchy are defined as classes(class 026)
Both Article & Merchandise Hierarchies are very much different. Both are meant for differnt purposes.
thanks,
