Flexible Master Data Update vs. Direct

Hi, I had a data load that was initiall set up as a flexible update and the data load was taking 17 hours to load 600k records. The load type was changed to direct and it it went down to about 1 hour.
Can anyone explain this to me!???

It appears that this is not the issue. A follow up data load on the direct load was also taking way too much time. So far it seems like the intial load works fine and the follow up ones take too long.
I will have to perform more testing...
Thanks

Master data update bringing in multiple records for single entry

Hello,
I found that if I deleted and reloaded data in a master data object, it was showing me correct number of records. However, just a full update was not overwriting it with correct number of data records. there were always 1 or 2 extra blank records. I thought master data update should overwrite previous records and we need not delete and reload it.
Why would this happen?
Thanks!

Hi there,
Are you refering to time dependent master data? From to values are present?
If so, that's the correct situation, since BW (OLAP) instead of R/3 (OLTP) allows you to mantain historical data, i.e., a material can be valid from a specific time period with several attributes and other attributes can be valid for the same material in another time space.

HI
Check this document :
'How to... update Master Data during upload of transaction data', there is sample code
https://websmp202.sap-ag.de/~sapdownload/011000358700002766042003E/HowToUplMasterDataTransact.pdf

Customer master data updation from one system to another system

HI Experts,
I have an issue with customer master data updation from one system to another system. And here only one field is not updating properly from one system to another system. and we found this is through idoc , but we don't find field in any segment.
and the field is called ADDR1_DATA-HOME_CITY.
and this will displayed as different city in address column.
but as per the notes given in help , it is by program , form through only passing. but not able to trace and as per my analysis ADRC table , ADRNR had this field HOME CITY.
And this is for some customers updating wrong one from one system to another system , and for some customers field itself not updating in address column.
please can you suggest any one. here are screenshot for your reference.

that is not enough, it was enough in times before 40b release, but this was in the last century
Please read OSS note 384462 - Master data and addresses
it explains what you have to do for ALE

Master data update and navigational attrivute

Hi.
There is master data which is having some 10 attributes.All of them marked as a Navigational Attribute.But all the attributes are coming from R/3 and only last attribute(X) is not coming from R/3.This X is maintained in flat file.My questions are
1.After uploading all the remaing attributes from R/3 can we update the X through Flat file by creating sperate Infopackage and un mapping remaing objects.
2.Here there is no Hierachy.All the attributes are marked as a navigational attributes.So, Is there any question of drilling down on a particualar Attribute like organizational Unit,or Station or plant.
When we said all as navigational attributes we can make all the drill down and drill across operations on all of them corrrect??
It is very Urgent.

hi Vasu,
say you have master data infoobject ziobjmst, you can try
- make ziobjmst 'as infoprovider', rsa1->infoprovider->insert characteristic as infoprovider
- create infosource with flexible update, e.g zisX put infoobject ziobjmst and X in transfer structure, assign with flat file datasource.
- create update rules for ziobjmst from rsa1->infoprovider, assign with infosource zisX, assign ziobjmst with ziobjmst and X with X, let other infoobjects as 'no update'.
- create infopackage and upload data.
another way as mentioned by Vikash with look up from table A (e.g infoobject is A), you can create start routine in transfer rules and put code
data : it_A like /bic/pA occurs 0 with header line.
p is attribute table
select * from /bic/pA into table it_A.
then create routine for X in transfer rules, code
result = ''.
read table it_A with key /bic/A = tran_structure-/bic/A binary search.
if sy-subrc = 0.
result = it_A-/bic/X.
endif.
hope this helps.

Master data updation not reflected in Bex report

Hi,
There is a field "Approver" in a report. It will only show the name of the Approver. And recently the same approver name has been changed in MDM system and now the problem is newly changed name is not reflecting the reporting. It shows the only old name in reporting.
My doubt is, what about already loaded record in BW system. Whether changes will be made for the older data. I mean it is possible to overwrite the approver name stored earlier in BW.
D Raj

Hi
Yes, master is always overwritten.
load the new value to the approver Info object.
in RSA1 -> right click --> activate master data.
Initially when data loaded, records will be Modified version. when you perform activate master data then M versions records will turn to A version.
records with A version are only visible in Report.
If your report is on Aggregates, then you have to perform ACR (attribute change run) to update the same new value in aggregate.
you can use the program RSDDS_AGGREGATES_MAINTAIN.

Production orders: Master data updating

Hi everyone,
This is my scenario:
I had created hundreds of production orders with a previously defined BOM and routing. Now both the BOM and the Routing have been modified.
I was wondering if there's any way for updating the master data in all the former production orders without doing it explicitely accessing one by one.
Points will be rewarded.
Thanks and best regards.
Ben.

Dear ,
I hope you can do it by Mass processing of Production .
Logistics ---Production -- Production Control Control --- COHV Mass Processing to go to the Mass Processing Production Orders screen
Transaction Code :
COHVOMPP
Here u have to capacity and availability check for all the orders.Now u can include the function in the Mass processing tabe page in COHVOMPP ok and also set the error log.Once u have executed a list of PO will be displaed and u have select all of them and hit the mass procesing button.
2.In case your order beyond the shop fllor ,u can do it through Order Change Management
3.Or U can perform Read PP Master Data in the CO02 --Function tab which will ask u to include your BOM/Routing.
Hope it will help u to clear ur idea.
Reward point if useful

Master data updated or not

Hi.. If there are millions of records then how do we verify if master data is completel loaded or not ? Is there any mechanism to do so ?

Hi,
Corss checking number of records in R/3 and BW is one way to achieve .
There is a mechanism in the info package -> Update tab page -> Make sure that radio button always udpate transaction data even if no master data exists is checked. This will make sure that all data has been loaded correctly.
Hope that helps.

Master data update

Hi Experts,
we have a process chain in which there is an abap program which updates data to master data for that info object, to which also there is a compounding attribute, which also gets filled thru abap prog.
Data is coming to P table of the master data, but it is not shown in the Maintain master data
In the process chain we have used attribute change run after the master data load thru abap prog and ran but still it is the same
Please give your suggestion how to handle this.
Regards
Sudha

Hi,
you should consider using those FM/BAPI. This ensures correct handling of data. Try to make a trace while maintaining masterdata and you will see what tables will be updated.

Master Data Update to Infoobject

I have a master data 0RECONTRACT NOW if I can load this infoobject from master data source 0recontract_attr. but if i include this infoobject in the cube to be used in the report to restrict my report by contract type. What should i do in the transactional data that is coming from transactional datasource to cube. Please tell exact steps what to do in transformation or update rule when i see
this new added infoobject 0RECONTRACT . should i set that to "initial value" or what do i have select. since i can load this infoobject as master data and use that in report so i do not have to enhance to include this in transactional data.
please help
soniya

Hi Soniya,
It depends upon your requirememt.
Since you want to restrict the values of the cube which are going into the report then you should include this object into the cube.
In any case if you want to restrict the value of the transactional data in the cube with either the value of the objects ot the attributes of object you will have to add this object into the cube.
As you said you can load master data and use in report but how you are going to use it..............you will have to include it in the cube to use it.
Also you can check whether this object is attribute of some other object already in the cube in that case you can make it navigation attribute and then use it for the restrictions in the cube.
In this case only you do need to add it to the cube,But if it not an attribute of any object then you must add it to the cube.
Thanks

Master data update picks only new records

Hi Experts,
We are using 0CRM_OPPT_H to update 0CRM_OPGUID master data infoobjecct. The issue is it is not updating custom fileds if there is a change. But works only if there is a new Opportunity.
Does anyone know why it happens and how to fix it??
Thanks,
DV

Normally custom fields that you have added to SAP does not trigger a delta when they are changed. It is because they are not part of the comparison of before and after image that triggers the delta. Don´t know how you can correct this unless you make a generic extractor for this field and have a date/time field to mange the delta. Alternative is often full load,
Hope it helps
