Flat file upload against Cost Center Hierarchy nodes

Hi,
we would like to upload flat files into BIIP which need to contain values for cost center hierarchy nodes.
Is there a way to add the cost center hierarchy node value into a flat file and upload it inot BIIP?
Thanks and regadrs,
Hans.

Hello Hans,
you can post the value agaist any node as long as it is a postable node (not a text node).

Time dependent cost center hierarchy

Does anyone know how to turn the R/3 standard cost center hierarchy into a time dependent hierarchy?
I can change the hierarchy of infoObject 0costcenter to be time dependent. The datasource 0COSTCENTER_0101_HIER does not fill the validfrom validto fields.
I would prefer not to have to load the hierarchy from a flat file.
Thanks,
John

Any changes to the R/3 standard hierarchy are stored in tables CDHDDR,CDPOS. This can be seen from tcode OKEON ==>selected cost center==>History==>Change Document==>Standard hierarchy Area. This screen shows the validity of a cost center as it pertains to a node.

Download for the cost center hierarchy

I would like to help me I need to do is download a program for the cost center hierarchy, but not if there is a function that you do this?

Go to transaction KSH3 (Cost Center Group) and enter your top node and press enter.
Place your cursor on the top node in the list and take the menu path:
Extras -> Export
Click on Presentation server, enter a file name and press the enter button.

Standard Cost Center Hierarchy View (OKEON) in MDG-F 7.0

Hi everyone,
ECC SAP features transaction OKEON to maintain a standard cost center
hierarchy. So we can have a full view of the hierarchy in terms of getting to
know that under what cost center group, a cost center is placed as the child
and parent relationship is told by using cost center hierarchy (cost center
group) in cost center master.
In my workshop, a standard cost center hierarchy was implemented 5 years
old. now we are implementing MDG-F 7.0. so we are trying to use the File Upload
to complete cost center, cost center group and cost center hierarchy loads. My question
is that when we are done, will a standard cost center hierarchy tree to be
presented or viewed in MDG-F 7.0? I wanted to see the relationship to be
reflected in MDG 7.0 other than seeing each of which as an individual list of
cost center, a list of cost center group? Where is the relationship presented
in MDG-F 7.0?
The same question apply to profit center hierarchy too?
Thanks,
LUO

FLAT FILE UPLOAD INTO BI

Hi,
What kind of questions are needed to be asked (from client) for requirements gathering for a flat file upload (from legacy system) to BI? Basically what are all the questions that i need to ask them to make sure I have all information for designing a flat file extractor?
Thanks

I would ask them what do they want to report on from the legacy system and is data already in R/3? I would also ask what kind of data is stored in the legacy system .... inventory, financial data, sales, etc ... Once I knew that, I would ask what do they want to report on .... stock quantities/costs, gl account data, revenue, deliveries, etc....
Then I would ask, do you want this to be seperated from the R/3 datastream? More than likely this will be yes, if not, fight to keep it seperated and possible in it's own cube/ODS and combine in a multiprovider (you need to use the same 0material, 0customer, 0vendor, 0gl_account info objects if you want to combine nicely on a multiprovider).
If the database the legacy system is on is either SQL Server or Informix or Oracle, you may want to consider DBConnect and connect directly to their tables.
In all cases, I try to avoid bringing everything in "just because we may need it". If the system is legacy and it's been a legacy for 2 years, see what people keep going back for and grab that data only. If someone claims to need data, but have not sought it out for 2 years, then the probably don't need it.
Also, check the granularity of the data. Do they need individual documents for legal reasons? Can you summarize the data? What are they going to use the data for?

Copy cost center hierarchy to profit center hierarchy: is this possible?

Hi,
I would like to know or I can copy my standard cost center hierarchy to my standard profit center hierarchy. If so, how to proceed?
Thank you in advance,
Eric van Zundert.
Ps. We do not have enterprise organisastional active.

Hi Eric,
No standard tool exists for this operation. However, if you really prefer to do it manually, you can pull a trick. You can export your cost centre hierarchy to TXT file, correct there certain parameters (change BCCSS to BGLPCT, etc.) and then import it as profit centre hierarchy.

BPC delta flat file upload possible?

Hi experts,
Ive been trying to find an answer of whether or not it is possible to retain member data on manual flat file upload into a dimension. We have created a dimension (employee) and have created some dummy nodes member data and would like to determine if it is possible to then keep this manual member data while manually loading further member data through flat file load. Is this sort of manual flatfile delta load possible? If so how? What is best practice here?
Also, is it possible to load data into a dimension using two methods IE manual upload file and then another form (IE BW load) without overwriting data? Im assuming this is where the merge data option comes in to play.
Any guidance would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Danielle

Hi Danielle,
While uploading data, if you have added dimension members manually, then, it never gets deleted untill and unless you specify for it.
In your scenario, you have created dummy members and want to upload data thru flat file. Then, the data will be uploaded only for those members for which you want to upload data, rest of the members will display the old data.
As you rightly said earlier, while running data manager package, you need to select MERGE option instead of REPLACE & CLEAR data values. This keeps the old data intact and adds the new ones as well.
Hope this clarifies further.

How to delete a cost center hierarchy

Hi all,
We are having a issue regarding the cost centers. The cost centers have been assigned wrong cost center numbers. Now the client wants a set of new cost center numbers to be used in the system. In order for that to be done I thought may be if I can change the cost center hierarchy that has been assigned to the controlling area in OKKP transaction we can assign new cost centers to the new hierarchy and solve the problem.
But the system does not allow us to assign a different cost center hierarchy from the already existing one when cost centers are assigned to it.
My issue is how to delete the cost center hierarchy.
If that is not possible how can we remove the cost centers assigned to the cost center hierarchy ( is this possible)
Last question can we delete the transaction data posted to cost centers.
Points will be assigned to all the replies.
Thanks,
Sarada

Hello Sarada,
If the requirement is to track new cost centers only going forward, then you may need to create new Cost Centers, block old cost centers. Create a new node in the hierarchy saying "Old-do not use".
If the requirement is to have the history transactions reflect the new cost centers as well, then you will need to undertake a project for SLO (System Landscape Optimization) which will replace this data at table level. This is a major project in itself and the programs are proprietary to SAP.
Hope this helps.

R/3 Cost center hierarchy not shown in BW

Hi,
we have an issue regarding the transfer of a certain cost center hierarchy into the standard info object 0COSTCENTER. We have several hierarchies in place in the R/3 system and we transfer each of them daily via info packages into BW. When you look into the info package you can press button "Hierarchies from OLTP" and afterwards you can choose via radio button the dedicated hierarchy to transfer for this specific IP. Since last night one of the hierarchies is "disappeared" it's not shown any longer in the list (and therefore the IP crashed) and pushing the refresh button doesn't help. I am very surprised as this is not a new hierarchy (I just know that it has been changed in R/3 yesterday). What I have seen so far is that there is another hierarchy with a different technical name but with the same description. I know this shouldn't be a problem... Anyway, any hint is appreciated.
Regards,
Oliver.

Update:
The issue has been resolved. I learned that only top nodes of cost center hierarchies can be selected on the BW side to be transferred (A top node is a group that is not present in any other group as a sub-group.). The hierarchy in scope of the transfer has been removed form any other hierarchy in R/3 and now it works.

Ambiguity problem in a cost center hierarchy

Hello,
I have a problem with duplicated values in a cost center hierarchy.
There is a cost center that appears in two different groups and I am not able to delete none of them
It appears an ambiguity problem because of this, how could I solve it?

Hi
In KSH2   select the   cost center and then click on   REMOVE. But this will not work for a std hierarchy as explained below.   SO   THE SOLUTION IS TO DELETE THE COST CENTER MASTER DATA AND THEN   RE ASSIGN IT IN ' KSH2'
1)   The REMOVE function contradicts the fact that each master data must
always be assigned to one node in the standard hierarchy.
2)   The DELETION of objects requires time-consuming checks of master data,
especially if entire subtrees are to be deleted. Therefore it is not
supported here.
If such a case arises you should delete the master data
using master data maintenance.
Thanks

Error in Cost Center Hierarchy

Dear all,
When I delete all cost center in standard hierarchy by tcode OKC4, some cost centers still appear in cost center hierarchy with activation status is "red". How to delete all cost center with "red" activation status in this case ?
When I check these cost centers by tcode KS02 or KS03, the system raises information "No data exist" but when I create cost center with the same code by tcode OKEON, the system raise error "Cost center already exist".
So how to solve the problem ? I want to clear all the cost center in standard hierarchy and create again in DEV (No transaction data existed).
Thank you very much,
Dat Lam

Hi,
Go to OKEON - Menu - Extras - Hierarchy-Master Data - Comparison and see what's the output. Genrally, you are not supposed to delete cost centres from the standard hierarchy.

Eli

Problem with Free of Charge Sale Returns against Cost Center

Dear All,
The problem is related to Free Sales which is as follows -
I have issued free of charge against Cost Center & now I want to know whether any process is there or configurations can be done to return the free of charge issued goods along with the cost center. As in the order in header level while doing return the cost center is not getting reflected.Again in the outbound delivery creation mode also at the item detail level under the "Financial Processing" tab the cost center field is present but it is greyed out/ inactive.
Please suggest what are the configurations needed to create returns of the Free Of Charge goods against Cost Center.
Looking forward to early replies.
Thanks & Regards
Priyanka Mitra

Hello Mr. Lakshmipathi,
First of all thanks for your help.As per your suggestion I have maintained the Cost Center against the Order Reason in OVF3 and it is getting reflected in the Sales Order but whenever I am keeping the field of Cost Center blank in OVF3 the "Cost Center " is remaining inactive & not even displayed in Sales Order.Instead the system is asking for WBS element.
Now I want to know is there any configuration possible so that the Cost Center field will be reflected in either Sales or Delivery Order as blank space & not greyed out which will be filled up manually.
Plesae suggest.
Thanks & Regards
Priyanka Mitra

PISKU is the field name.
The whole extraction is failing.
Kindly provide me some suggestions as soon as poosible!!
If possible mail me at
[email protected]

Gajendra Singh

Hi,
It seems there is a space in the value '1017023 '.You have to edit in PSA and then send it again else delete the request and change the flat file entry and reload the data.
Hope this helps
