Header data/Master Data

Guys
I need clarification with Master data and Header data. Is that Master Data is header data or is it different. Or its considered part of transaction data.
And if i should be using header data info-source and when . Since i almost see the same feilds in header infosoruce as line-item source.
Thanks

Master data is not header data.
1) Master data is something which does not frequently.
2) Transaction data can be divided into Header data and Line item data.
Ex: 2lis_11_vahdr = header data
2lis_11_vaitm = item level data
Header data mainly contain the details at header level, like order numer, created by, created date, reference and so on.
Item data maily above fields and other fields at item level, like lines itmes used, division, Dist channel, prices, qty, amount, units used. currency type and so on.

Data (Master Data Changes and Transaction Data) from SAP BW to SAP BPC 5.1

Hi guys
I have seen posts on this forum describing data transfers from SAP R/3 to SAP BPC. I assume the procedure for data transfers from SAP BW to SAP BPC 5.1 should be the same i.e. using SSIS packages.
However I have some unique requirements -
1. DATA AT DIFFERENT AGGREGATED LEVELS - I need data from SAP BW at different levels - Some data comes at Product level while other at Customer level and some at Project Level. The current procedure takes BW queries output in excel sheets (6 files) and then use the data manager package to load the data in SAP BPC 5.1 using appropriate transformation and conversion files. This procedure is highly manual and I am looking at using SSIS package to do this. However, because of having data at different levels, it becomes a little tricky. How can we achieve this using SSIS?
2. UPDATING MASTER DATA - I need to update the master data (dimension members) in SAP BPC 5.1 at the start of every month. The current procedure compares (in MS ACCESS) the data from the queries mentioned in 1 to the dimension members in SAP BPC 5.1 and spits a file with the new entries which needs to be manually updated in the appropriate dimensions using Admin Console. I am looking at automating this task. I cannot just replace all the contents of a dimension with the members coming from SAP BW since the dimension members contains some dummy members which are used for planning.
3. HIERARCHY CHANGES - What is the best way to capture the hierarchy changes in SAP BW into SAP BPC 5.1?
Please advise.
Thanks,
Ameya Kulkarni

Hi Ameya,
how did you solve the described problems? Can you give some hints about uploading master data and updating the hierarchy?

Client copy customizing data + master data

while i am performing client copy using SAP_UCUS,SAP_UCSV i used these two profiles but i am not getting master data .Please help me out in this friends.

Hi Sridhar,
SAP_UCUS is the profile which comes with client specific
customizing including auth.profile,the application data is
deleted and user data is retained.
SAP_CUSV is SAP_CUST with variants.
Go through the forum posts you may get more information....Also check the
existence of user master data in your client.Go through the [post|Client Copy for only SAP_CUST erasing master data of target client; .It might help you.

APEX4.0.2 - Interactive Report : Setting headers like master data on downlo

Hi,
I'm using Apex 4.0.2 and have an Interactive report. When the user selects Action->Download option, I want to set header data (master data) above the rows.
Imagine it to be like a bank statement, where the name and account number come on the top of the page and the rows of transactions below.
I'm not sure how I can do this, please help me out with pointers
Thanks for the help.
-Hozy

Hi,
I can only assume you are talking about freezing the header rows, so that when you scroll down the header remains in the same place? I am pretty certain this is not possible with the download option on interactive reports.
You may like to look into this plugin that anton made : http://apex-plugin.com/oracle-apex-plugins/process-type-plugin/ir-report-to-excel-xlsx_74.html
There is one downside - if you filter down the results in the IR, and click download - it still returns all records and not the filtered records. At least that was the case last time I tried it out.
But anyway, its easy enough to freeze the header pane yourself after the report has downloaded - maybe that's an option i.e. train users how to do that.

Hi User,
Yes, You can do that with the help of Compounding.
> Double click on InfoObject/Attr > Compounding Tab
> Check the check box of MASTER DATA LOCALLY FOR SOURCE SYSTEM
With this option you can deal with Master Data which is coming from different Source systems for a Similar object.
Give the InfoObject name/Attr name under the Superior InfoObject column.
This much only I know.

Master data load prob from flat file

hi to all .........
here i have some q which are very basic.
1) i have defined a char "purchase order date" and i have defined the data type as "DATS " . now i am trying to load master data to this. so i went to the infoprovider's infoarea and right clicked and choose "Insert characteristics as infoprovider" it says " it is not base char so it cant b a data target. then h to load data master data to this.
2) while define the DSO where should i place the characteristic in key fields or in the data fileds , where should i put the key figures, since its dso i should include record mode na , where should i insert it.
thank u in advance

HI,
1) i have defined a char "purchase order date" and i have defined the data type as "DATS " . now i am trying to load master data to this. so i went to the infoprovider's infoarea and right clicked and choose "Insert characteristics as infoprovider" it says " it is not base char so it cant b a data target. then h to load data master data to this.
Character stics we can convert as infoprovider which are independent, Date field is time characterstic it is not independent it is depnds on some charasterstic(like based on customer, material,plant these type of objects u can conevert as info provider)
in your case u want to load data to DSO
2) while define the DSO where should i place the characteristic in key fields or in the data fileds , where should i put the key figures, since its dso i should include record mode na , where should i insert it.
Never keep the keyfigurs in key fields column.
remaining characterstics (all even date characterstics aslo) u can keep in keyfields
in keeping key fileds u should analuse on which basis combination the records should be over written based on that u can decide
eg: matreial no , customer number is unique then u can keep those in key fields
even date also unique (means on same date same material , same customer not there) then u can keep date also in Key fields,

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
Hari

How to extract master data attribute from r/3 to bw give steps details

how to extract master data attribute from r/3 to bw give steps details screenshots

Hi
Go through the below process to extract Master Data Attribute from R/3
Hi,
Maintaining Generic DataSources
Use
Regardless of the application, you can create and maintain generic DataSources for transaction data, master data attributes or texts from any transparent table, database view or SAP Query InfoSet, or using a function module. This allows you to extract data generically.
Procedure
Creating Generic DataSources
1. Select the DataSource type and specify a technical name.
2. Choose Create.
The screen for creating a generic DataSource appears.
3. Choose the application component to which you want to assign the DataSource.
4. Enter the descriptive texts. You can choose any text.
5. Select the datasets from which you want to fill the generic DataSource.
a. Choose Extraction from View if you want to extract data from a transparent table or a database view. Enter the name of the table or the database view.
After you generate the DataSource, you have a DataSource with an extraction structure that corresponds to the database view or transparent table.
For more information about creating and maintaining database views and tables, see the ABAP Dictionary Documentation.
b. Choose Extraction from Query if you want to use a SAP Query InfoSet as the data source. Select the required InfoSet from the InfoSet catalog.
Notes on Extraction Using SAP Query
After you generate the DataSource, you have a DataSource with an extraction structure that corresponds to the InfoSet.
For more information about maintaining the InfoSet, see the System Administration documentation.
c. Choose Extraction Using FM if you want to extract data using a function module. Enter the function module and extraction structure.
The data must be transferred by the function module in an interface table E_T_DATA.
Interface Description and Extraction Process
For information about the function library, see the ABAP Workbench: Tools documentation.
d. With texts you also have the option of extracting from fixed values for domains.
6. Maintain the settings for delta transfer, as required.
7. Choose Save.
When performing extraction, note SAP Query: Assigning to a User Group.
Note when extracting from a transparent table or view:
If the extraction structure contains a key figure field that references a unit of measure or a currency unit field, this unit field has to be included in the same extraction structure as the key figure field.
A screen appears on which you can edit the fields of the extraction structure.
8. Edit the DataSource:
○ Selection
When you schedule a data request in the BI scheduler, you can enter the selection criteria for the data transfer. For example, you can determine that data requests are only to apply to data from the previous month.
If you set the Selection indicator for a field within the extraction structure, the data for this field is transferred in correspondence with the selection criteria in the scheduler.
○ Hide field
You set this indicator to exclude an extraction structure field from the data transfer. The field is no longer available in BI when you set the transfer rules or generate the transfer structure.
○ Inversion
Reverse postings are possible for customer-defined key figures. Therefore inversion is only active for certain transaction data DataSources. These include DataSources that have a field that is marked as an inversion field, for example, the update mode field in DataSource 0FI_AP_3. If this field has a value, the data records are interpreted as reverse records in BI.
If you want to carry out a reverse posting for a customer-defined field (key figure), set the Inversion indicator. The value of the key figure is transferred to BI in inverted form (multiplied by 1).
○ Field only known in exit
You can enhance data by extending the extraction structure for a DataSource by adding fields in append structures.
The Field Only Known in Exit indicator is set for the fields of an append structure; by default these fields are not passed to the extractor from the field list and selection table.
Deselect the Field Only Known in Exit indicator to enable the Service API to pass on the append structure field to the extractor together with the fields of the delivered extract structures in the field list and in the selection table.
9. Choose DataSource ® Generate.
The DataSource is saved in the source system.
Maintaining Generic DataSources
● Change DataSource
To change a generic DataSource, in the initial screen of DataSource maintenance, enter the name of the DataSource and choose Change.
You can change the assignment of a DataSource to an application component or change the texts of a DataSource. Double-click on the name of the table, view, InfoSet or extraction structure to get to the appropriate maintenance screen. Here you make the changes to add new fields. You can also completely swap transparent tables and database views, though this is not possible with InfoSets. Return to DataSource maintenance and choose Create. The screen for editing a DataSource appears. To save the DataSource in the SAP source system, choose DataSource ® Generate.
If you want to test extraction in the source system independently of a BI system, choose DataSource ® Test Extraction.
● Delta DataSource
On the Change Generic DataSource screen, you can delete any DataSources that are no longer relevant. If you are extracting data from an InfoSet, delete the corresponding query. If you want to delete a DataSource, make sure it is not connected to a BI system.

Change comapny code for master data directly.

As per the requirement i need to change the company code for some records for company consolidation.
I need to convert three company codes with one comapny code.
Is it possible or there is any work arround. answers will be rewarded.

Probably not the answer you are looking for but SAP has [SLO|http://www.sap.com/services/bysubject/consulting/brochures/index.epx?PageSize=10&ActualPage=4] (System Landscape Optimization) consulting services. This service is used by SAP customers when they need to change data (master data/transactional data) during say a company consolidation.
Changing data in SAP tables directly is obviously highly discouraged, especially in a productive system.

Reg: No enries in SID table of attribute of a Master data info object

Hello SAP Gurus!!!
I Hope everyone is doing good.
I found some issues , when i loaded master data into master data info object in sap bi.
I have an object which is holding master data (master data info object)---ZEMPID(employee id)
I have attributes for this object are : Emp name , Emp Phone number
I loaded master data attributes into ZEMPID. I could see some entries in SID table of ZEMPID char info object .
But i am unable to see the entries in SID table of Emp name , which is a attribute of master data info object.
According to my knowledge whenver we load data into sap bi , automatically sid values will get generated for that characterstic info object.
so here in this case Emp name is also a char info object , so whenever we load the data into master data info object , we have to see the entries in SID table of Emp name also .But i am unable to see the entries in the SID table of Emp name. .
So what might be the problem ?
Awaiting for your valuable answers!!!
Cheers!!

Hi Rajavamshi,
You are right whenever we load data in BI, it will create SIDs for info objects.
But it will create SID in 'S Table' not in X/Y - Table.
If master data is enabled for Emp name then it will create SID in X/Y table. I think the master data is not enabled for attribute(Emp Name).
Please check in S Table, the SIDs will be there.
If it is not the case, activate the attributes info objects and EMPID info object and load the master data and run ACR for EMP ID.
If it is not working still, then do master data check in RSRV.

Vignesh.B

Transaction data tobe separated from master data&customising in client copy

HI Guys,
In my present server i have Transaction data, Master data & Customizing data. Through client copy only Master data & Customizing should be copied in new client. Transaction Data should not be copied to new client. This is not possible through any of the given profiles for copy.

Diffreence Between Master Data and Transcation Data

Hello Friends,
What is the Difference Between Master Data and Transcation Data.
i know only one differnece,,ie,,
Transcation data modified frequently and Master data are not modified frequently..
can any one tell the other difference..

hi check this..
MASTER DATA=>
Master data are distributed throughout the company, they are often not standardised and often redundant. As a result it is very costly to offer efficient customer service, keep track of supply chains and make strategic decisions. With SAP Master Data Management (SAP MDM) these important business data from across the company can be brought together, harmonised and made accessible to all staff and business partners. As a key component of SAP NetWeaver, SAP MDM ensures data integrity via all IT systems.
Regardless of the industry, companies often work with different ERP and Legacy systems. The result: the business processes are based on information about customers, partners and products which is displayed in different ways in the systems. If the data are recorded manually, there are more inconsistencies: some data sets are entered several times, others cannot be retrieved by all divisions of the company.
As corporate applications are becoming increasingly complex and produce ever greater amounts of data, the problem is intensified further. Nevertheless, your employees must work with the inconsistent data and make decisions on this basis. The lack of standardised master data easily leads to wrong decisions, which restrict efficiency and threaten customer satisfaction and profitability.
In a word: in order to save costs and ensure your companys success it is necessary to consolidate master data about customers, partners and products, make them available to all employees beyond system boundaries and use attributes valid company-wide for the purpose of description.
