Hierarchies on master data

Hi BW Experts,
i have to create the hierarchies for master data for some info objects, are hierarchies done only on master data or any other and how to do it .pls guide me on this.
any one send the hierarchies and authorisations ,how they are done in reports .
send me some documents on it, (as i have never done authorisations) . i would be very thankful if you would send me any of the screen shots to [email protected]

How to handle/extract Hierarchies in master data from R3

Hi Experts!!!
Iu2019m currently working on HR Implementation project and this is my first project. Implementation is being done in BI 7.0 and ECC 6.0. I have some queries regarding the extraction of master data from R3 as furnished below.
1. By default all the datasources are in 3.x technology and Iu2019ve migrated all the datasources with export and successfully performed InfoPackages and DTPS into their respective InfoObjects/Data targets. But when it comes to the masterdata datasources with hierarchies, Iu2019m unable to migrate them as there is no MIGRATE option in the context menu. When I tried to create infopackage, it asked me to create Transfer rules first and perform InfoPackage. Is it mandatory to work in 3.x technology (Transfer rules/ Update rules) in case of master data hierarchies? In this case how to handle datasources with hierarchies?
2. Is it required to have any data staging component like DSO while extracting master data datasources from SAP R/3 to their respective InfoObjects (Data targets)?? Or can I directly schedule Infopackage and DTP directly into the InfoObject with out any DSOS in between for HR master data??
Good day!!!

hello,
1)
all DataSource that are created in BI 7.0 are new design, master data attribute, text and transaction DataSource can all be created in the new BI 7.0, but for hierarchy DataSource, it remains as 3.X, if you double click on the Hier DataSource, you will see the title "...Emulated 3.X ...", so the DataSource should be working perfectly fine except it is in "Modified" version, i believe it is just SAP has not or can't a way to upgrade hier DataSource.
Also,
RSDS doesnt support hierarchy datasources in BI 7.0. So we cannot use transformations and DTP with hierarchy. So it is very similar to the way we used to load it in 3.x.
Check below link for step by step procedure to load hierarchy using flat file:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/fa/e92637c2cbf357e10000009b38f936/content.htm
2)
i dont think you need a DSO in between for laoding master data from R/3 to BI IO.

What is Master data reporting

Hi friends
what is Master data reporting. can anyone please explain elobarately.

Hi
How to report on Master data like for Material master, If i want to have report on Material and the price of that material,Cost of the material. What are the steps we have to follow to get report. Can we get report directly from master data objects or we have to send the data to data targets like Infocubes,DSO. If we have hierarchies in master data, what is the procedure.
Thanks&Regards

HR master data Hierarchies

Hi Experts,
I am implementing HR(Personnal Administation & Organizational Management) first time. For any master data Is it require to maintaine Hierarchies for masterdata. If require can u please give me the list of those.
Regards,
Sridhar

Hi Sridhar.......
It is not mandatory to maintain Hierarchies for masterdata.............Look there are three types of Master data............attributes , text and hierarchy..........now it is not mandatory that always there will be hierarchy......Moreover.......BI 7.0 does'nt support Hierarchy datasource........u hav to use BW 3.X datasource.........and 3.X data flow............u cannot Migrate it...........u can't even use emulated hierarchy datasource in BI 7.0.........
There are seperate master data tables for hierarchy............/BIC/H -- Heirarchy Table and
/BIC/K -- Heirarchy SID Table.........
In our case...........for Master data Organizational Management....we hav use the datasource 0ORGUNIT_HR01_HIER...........

How to load master data and hierarchies from R/3 systems

HI all,
how to load master data and hierarchies from R/3 systems.
Please explain the steps.
Thanks,
cheta.

HI,
Its normally done following: Transferring the master datasources in RSA5 to RSA6 and then replicating the DS into BW and assignment of DS to Infosource and cretaion of Infopackage and load it into the master tables.
Generally, the control parameters for data transfer from a source system are maintained in extractor
customizing. In extractor customizing, you can access the corresponding source system in the source
system tree of the SAP BW Administrator Workbench by using the context menu.
To display or change the settings for data transfer at source system level, choose Business
Information Warehouse → General Settings → Maintaining Control Parameters for Data Transfer.
Note: The values for the data transfer are not hard limitations. It depends on the DataSource if these
limits can be followed.
In the SAP BW Scheduler, you can determine the control parameters for data transfer for individual
DataSources. You can determine the size of the data packet, the number of parallel processes for
data transfer and the frequency with which the status IDocs are sent, for every possible update
method for a DataSource.
To do so, choose Scheduler → DataSource → Default Settings for Data transfer.
In this way you can, for example, update transaction data in larger data packets in the PSA. If you
want to update master data in dialog mode, smaller packets ensure faster processing.
Hope this info helps.
Thanks,Ramoji.

How to extract Hierarchical Master data into flatfile

Hello Experts,
I have a requirement to extract Master data (Texts, Attr, Hierarchies) of all Info Objects pertaining to a given Infocube ( say BoxA)
I am aware that I can manually dump the data / use infospoke to get data into flatfile without hassle in case of texts/attributes.
(1)But I doubt it for hierchical data. In case of hierarchical data I have to create an ABAP code to extract master data.
Below is the link I got when I am searching SDN.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/0403a990-0201-0010-38b3-e1fc442848cb?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
But I didnt understand it the mechanism behind the extraction.
Can anyone please give me a detailed explanation on how to do it or some other reference documents.
Note: I am going to use that master data and import that again into different box ( say BoxB) and there is no connection between two systems (BoxA and BoxB).
Thanks.

Sales Hierarchies MASTER DATA

hI
Transaction VDH1N
I want a document showing me how to maintain Customer Hierarchies, and need to know all the transaction used to maintain the hierarchies?
is there step by step guide for me to use?
I am aware that there is 3 hierarchy type.

Hi Dear,
1) Define hierarchy type: just put and ID and a name to the new hierarchy.
2) Set partner determination: if you want to user the hierarchy in price determination, then, in the orders, at the header level, you have to have a Partner Procedure with a partner function for each level. In the partner procedure, in each partner function you must indicate the source partner function. With this informacition, in the order, you obtain the bussiness partner for each partner function.
3) Assign acount groups: you indicate which accounts groups are allowed for being part or your hierarchy.
4) Assign sales areas: symple you indicate wich sales areas are allowed in your hierarchy. (Here you can customize common sales areas, just for not having to build de hierarchy in all the different sales areas).
5) Assigning hierarchy type for pricing: you indicate which classes of documentos uses hierarchy in pricing determination.
It is possible to maintain so called customer hierarchies. This might be useful when for example you create a condition discount for a customer that is part of such a hierarchy structure. All subnodes in the hierarchy below that customer, will thus receive the same discount.
Customer hierarchy setup, firstly decide the hierarchy type to be used.
The standard is type A.
You can also assign a partner function to the customer so that the higher level customer in the hierarchy is copied into a sales order as a partner function - but you don't need that right?
Next assign your customer account group to the hierarchy type. And enter the combinations that will be allowed for creating the hierarchy.
You want to assign a ship-to to a payer. So enter the ship to account group and enter the payer account group as the higher level.
You must also make an entry for permitted sales area assignments. So if you want to a hierarchy for customers in the same sales area then enter the sales area and enter the same one as the higher level sales area.
All these settings can be found in the IMG. Under SD - master data - business partners - customers - customer hierarchy
You use for example customer hierarchy when you have an company like Unilever and you agree both on a discount. Unilever does have different locations / businesses and you have to maintain the discount for all customers. If you use a customer hierarchy you can maintain the discount for the partner in the top of the hierarchy and in this way it will be valid for all customers in the hierarchy.
Please go through this link it will help you about Customer Hierarchy configuration,

When create heirarchy, can not find the entry which is in master data

Hi, SDNs
When create a heirarchy for a char , click this char button to add a fields to a node, i can't search the value which is actually in the master data.
Thansk for your time

If you go to create hierararchy or change mode of hierarchy
3 types of nodes you can create
1)Text node
2)Charecteristic node
3)Infoobject values node
text node - is simple any text node you can create
infoobject values node - if the master data is loaded you can create it
if master data is loaded make sure its activated and no master data is under "M" version.
charecteristic node - only if particular infoobject node is included in the tab "external chars in hierarchies" in RSD1 of that particular infoobject
Hope it Helps

How to find the size of the master data objects in the BW system?

Hi,
We would like to understand the size of the master data tables overall for a specific source system (Logical name is Ex.ABCD, which supplies all master data to BW). Can you please advise the procedure to find out this?
Is there any table that will allows to see all the master data objects related to specific sources system so that we can find out that table size? Thanks.
For example, we have many Texts, Hier & Attributes.
0COUNTRY_TEXT
0REGION_TEXT
0PERSON_ATTR
0MATERIAL_LPRH_HIER
Advance Thanks.
Edited by: BW USA on Feb 2, 2010 10:52 AM

Hi,
You can find out all the master data tales used in the BW system by
Tcode : SE11
Enter as /BIC/P* for master data tables and press F4 which gives list of master data tables currently used in BW system.
Similarly for Texts /BIC/T* and press F4
Similarly for Hierarchies /BIC/H-* press F4
and can know the size of the all tables.

SAP BPC 7.5: Master Data and Hierachiy Load from InfoObject

Hallo Forum Participants,
I am going to load Master Data from a "Clarity" Reporting Tool in BW to SAP BPC 7.5 via Process Chains (/CPMB/IMPORT_IOBJ_MASTER, /CPMB/IMPORT_IOBJ_HIER) delivered from SAP.
These Process Chains load the Master Data and Hierarchies from an InfoObject. To find out more about Ticking of BPC I have performed a following test. So, on BPC Admin Interface I have duplicated the Dimension u201CAu201D and called it as Dimension u201CBu201D (in BW site InfoObject u201CAu201D and u201CBu201D). In the Member Sheet of Dimension u201CBu201D I have implemented the several changes und tried to load Master Data from BW namely from infoObject u201CBu201D into BPC Dimension u201CAu201D. Therefor I created a transformation file and mapped one for one IDu2019s. The data Manager started these chains, but resulted nothing (Status: red X).
What are the features of BPC InfoObjects in Comparision with regular InfoObject?
How can I load Hierarchies into InfoObject?
What else I must take into account?
Why does not work this simple test?
Regards.
Alisher
Edited by: Alisher Babaev on Jan 6, 2012 1:59 PM

Hallo pkrishna,
so it is successed with master data load, but without hierachiies.
My Master Data Properties on Dimension Sheet are:
-ID
-EVDESCRIPTION
-PARENTH1
-CURRENCY
I have mapped as below:
ID=ID
CURRENCY=/CPMB/CURR
/CPMB/CURR- my technical id in BW.
In the Note you advised transformation file has been mapped like below:
-NODENAME=NODENAME
-HIER_NAME=HIER_NAME
-PARENT=PARENT
-ORDER=ORDER
After executing of package i get whether rejected list or log file. No data can be retirieved from InfoObject.
Have you any Idea?
regards

Error while creating Data Source for master data attributes

Hi BI Experts,
Well its been some time for me that I have been part of Extraction in BI.I primarily handled reporting in my last assignments.
I was trying extraction with flat files in SAP BI 7(new to sap bi 7 but very much familiar with BW3.5) but failed in the activity during master data attributes and text upload in infoobject (say IOSP_Mat).
Here is the procedure that I did after creation of characteristic IOSP_Mat.I created a source system for flat file followed by data source for Master data attributes, i selected all the parameters correctly.i.e. csv file format, data seperator as ,
and other settings, now when i am trying to look at the proposed data in the next tab using Load example data.its not showing the desired result.The columns that I have maintained in Flat File is MAT_NUMBER and MAT_NAME (with say 100 data in the file)
same is the result when I am trying to load the text data too columns maintained are
(LANGUAGE MAT_NUMBER Short Description)(same 100 data).
now i used to rsa1old transaction to upload the file using 3.5 version.i created info source for master data/text/hierarchies for IOSP_Mat
now when trying to upload it using info package for master and text data,I observe its(the data) not maintained in the characteristic IOSP_Mat.
When I monitored ,I figured the data has not been even uploaded to the PSA level.
Can you BI experts tell me the answer for this.
Thanks,
Srijith

apologies to all of you for late response,
was busy with some other activities.
I don't remember the exact message,but I remember it was not loaded to even the PSA level.I will try it again and post the exact message.
Thanks again for your quick response.
Once again sorry to all of you for my late response
Thanks,

Loading Master Data with Flexible Update

Hi,
I have created an Infoobject - Business Partner (Master Data bearing characteristics). The attributes to this are Region, Sales Person, Industry code which are master bearing characteristic as well.
I need to load data to the business partner from a csv file.
The layout of the CSV file is -
BP number, BP text (long Text), Region Code, Region Desc (Med Text), Sales Person Code, Sales Person Desc (Med Text), Industry Code, Industry description (Med Text).
How do I define the infosource to load this data.
Appreciate any help with this.
Thank You,
Prashanth

Hi,
First of all, I need to note that there are two kind of Infosources: with direct and flexible update.
If you choose a direct IS, then in the creating of the IS you just enter the name of the infoobject where you are going to load data. The system will create a IS (comm. structure). Enter this IS for changing. The system will propose you the communication structure, click on a bottom icon Transfer structure/Transfer rules, choose as a Source system your flat file system. Agree with the system when it asks you to save assignments (up to 3 times). Activate TRs. Then click in the field for Datasource. You may see there another datasources (for texts, attributes and hierarchies). Choose one by one another datasources with their activation.
Now you can create an infopackage for a load you can choose what kind of package it is going to be for loading texts, attributes or hierarchies.
Note that in this case the structure of the flat file is proposed by the system and you need just prepare the flat file corresponding to the proposed structure (different for each of 3 possible datasources). Execute infopackage.
If you use a flexible IS, then you may insert into comm. structure the fields that you think you may need in the master data. Note that here you may have not only attributes but TEXTS also. Save a comm. structure. Assign a flat file source system and activate a TRs.
After that in RSA1-dataproviders tab right click insert IO as a data target choose your IO. Refresh the screen. Youll see up to three data targets. Create update rules for each of them. In URs map the fields in the IS with the fields in URs.
Best regards,
Eugene

While Loading Master data from BW Info Object

Hi,
What is the difference between the two options
"set filters by Attributes AND Hierarchies" and
"set filters by Attributes OR Hierarchies"
when we load master data attributes/texts from BW Info Object.
can someone please explain in detail with example.
Thanks,

Hi Rishi,
While looking at your question -

Difference between text data and attributes in master data?

Hello,
a charcteristic in BW maintains texts, hierarchies and attributes.
What exactly is the difference between texts and attributes?
Attributes describe master data like a customer. The country where the customer resides, the industry etc. describe and classify the customer. Attributes are not just the structure/metadata of the characteristics. They are also the content. The following table should visualize what i mean:
customer-no. | name
112 | mcpherson inc.
113 | donalds inc.
Texts contain contain the description of a characteristic. Texts define a characteristic. An example is the customers name. It does not describe the customer but defines him/her.
Is my understanding about these two parts of master data right?
What else except the customer's name belongs to the texts?
If I set up a characteristic like the customer in SAP BW, do I have to create an attribute "name". The name belongs to texts, not to attributes?? If I upload master data then, how does it work?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
If your analysis includes country and region then country and region should be included in the Infocube.This is required because only if you include these characteristics then you can restrict your queries for country and region.You may need to select some particular countires/region and show the report.Then you have to restrict your queries to only those countries/region.This is possible only if you have these characteristic in your infocube.
I am just envisaging your model like this.
Characteristic in the Infocube
Customer
Country
Region
Customer Attributes
Customer Number (SID which is self generated)
Customer Address1,2 ,3
Registration No
Date of Registration
Deposit Amount
etc ...
Region Attributes
Region Number (SID)
Total Customers
Sale Office Address
Number of Sales Persons
Customer Attributes
Customer Number (SID)
Total Customers
Head Office Address
Number of Sales Persons
GDP
Total Population
So the conclusion is whichever entity you want to restrict or analyse should be a part of Infocube.It is very difficult to do analysis based on attributes as I mentioned in my earlier post that they are only "Display attributes" (u can just show that's it).
Yes!! there are methods available for analysis based on characteristics in attributes table and you have to do either with virtual characteristic or replacement path or with writing code in customer exits.But a good design and earlier study of all possible report combination and having a good design will avoid good amount of development time and changes.
I have suffered when I had only 0CALDAY in my cube and when I want to take a monthly analysis, I was unable to do it and then I have to redesign my whole cube.
Please anyone, correct me if I am wrong.

Need more Info about "Load transactional data when master data not loaded"

Hi,
Can you please explain me this option in the infopackage " Load transactional data when master data is not loaded"....
Say i load a transactional data record which has a material no. AAAXX.
In the fact table, the material no. is replaced with the corresp. DIM ID.
Now, assume that there is no entry for this Material no.
AAAXX in the master data table...so no DIM ID for it..
How is it then stored in the fact table ?
Hope i have managed to explain the scenario..
Thanks in advance,
Punkuj

Hello Punkuj K,
How r u ?
No, if the entry for that Material Number "AAAXX" is not there in the Master Data then it will create a SIDs & DIMs ID for that & Transaction Data will be loaded.
Use
Choose this indicator if you want to always update the data, even if no master data for the navigation attributes of the loaded records exists. The master data is generated from the loaded transaction data. The system draws SIDs. You can subsequently load the master data.
Dependencies
The texts, attributes, and hierarchies are not recognized by the system. Load the texts / attributes / hierarchies for the corresponding InfoObjects separately.
This function corresponds to the update. Possible errors when reading the master data into the update rules are not associated with this indicator.
Recommendation
We recommended loading the master data into the productive systems in advance. Select this indicator especially in test systems.
Best Regards....
