How are attribute and text master data tables linked in SAP R/3?

Hello,
how are attribute and text master data tables linked in SAP R/3?
Most tables with attribute master data like T001 for company codes,
have a text master data table T001T (add "T" to table name).
When looking at the content of table T001 via transaction se11,
the text are automatically joined.
But for some tables there is no "T"-table (e.g. table TVBUR for sales offices
has no text table TVBURT), but in se11 you get texts. There is an address
link in TVBUR, but the Name1, etc. are empty.
a) Where are the text stored?
b) How does the system know of the link?
Hope someone can help!
Best regards
Thomas

Hi Thomas
The master and text table are not linked by name, of course, if you see the text table, it has the same key fields of master table, only it has the field key spras and the field for description.
The link beetween the tables is done by foreign key: if you check the text table TVKBT u need to see how the foreign key for field VKBUR is done:
-> Foreing key with table TVBUR
-> Foreing key field type -> KEY FIELD FOR A TEXT TABLE
->Cardinality-> 1-:CN
It's very important the attribute sets for Foreing key field type, if it's KEY FIELD FOR A TEXT TABLE, it'll mean the table is a text table: i.e. that mean the master table is a check table for the text table, where the foreign key type is for text table.
U can find out the text table of master table by SE11: GoTo->Text Table
U can fined some information in table DD08L.

How are attributes and texts for a master data linked and targeted to ...?

Our previous consultants used to load data to master data 0MATL_GROUP.
1. RSA1 -> InfoProvider -> Select 0MATL_GROUP or 0MATL_GROUP___T
Check these above two and find the records loaded are both 1,216 for Language EN.
We check the data flow of this master data (0MATL_GROUP or 0MATL_GROUP___T) and find there are four branches which target 0MATL_GROUP:
branch 1: 0MATL_GROUP is itself an InfoSource and the datasource is 0PROD_CATEG_R3_MAP_ATTR. However under this datasource, there is no any InfoPackage, i.e., the system doesn't load data to 0MATL_GROUP through this branch.
branch 2: Through InfoSource 0MATERIAL_ATTR. However the InfoPackage under this InfoSource target data load to 0MATERIAL but not 0MATL_GROUP, i.e., the system doesn't load data to 0MATL_GROUP through this branch.
branch 3: Through InfoSource ZMATL_GROUP_ATTR and it's corresponding datasource Z_MAT_GROUP_ATTR. InfoPackage monitor shows the data load record for this datasource is 490 (Run RSA3 on R3 for this datasource also gives the same record count).
branch 4: Through InfoSource 0MATL_GROUP_TEXT and it's corresponding datasource has the same name. InfoPackage monitor shows the data load record for this datasource is 1190 for Language EN (RSA3 on R3 for this datasource gives the same count for language EN).
2. InfoObj. 0MATL_GROUP
1). Master data tab (/BI0/PMATL_GROUP): 526
2). Text table (/BI0/TMATL_GROUP):
1657 (includes both EN and other lan-guages), for EN: 1190.
3. Check R3 Table T023T (Material Group Descrip-tions) for EN: 1190.
Our questions are:
1. The InfoProvider 0MATL_GROUP and 0MATL_GROUP___T
both have counts of 1,216 for Language EN. And for the four branches in the data flow, only 3rd and 4th branches feed data to it. 3rd branch (datasource Z_MAT_GROUP_ATTR) feed count is 490 and 4th branch (datasource 0MATL_GROUP_TEXT) feed count is 1190 for Language EN. We wonder how attribute and text data are corelated to each other and with it's master data. Obviously 1,216 is not equal to the sum of 1190 and 490, the how 1190 (text) and 490 (attribute) constitute the master data count 1,216?
2. Do we have to use 1st and 2nd branches to feed data to 0MATL_GROUP?
3. How InfoObj. 0MATL_GROUP Master data tab (/BI0/PMATL_GROUP) shows the count is 526? it should be 490 from the custom datasource Z_MAT_GROUP_ATTR, right? But why the count is different?
We would be appreciated any expert input!

Kevin,
can you check the data in Material Group charecterstic againest R/3. One moe thing check how these 4 branches Mapped to material Group?
Take the for Attributes it should be 490. it is 525. try to analyse what are the extra records comparing with Source. take the you found so and so meterial group extra then analyze from where is it getting extracted to BW i mean which DS.. (either branch 1 or brach 2 or branch 3 or 4). then check in R/3 side DS for the 4 branches. then you will know what exactly happening.
Analyze the data from step by step from r/3 to BW for each level. You will get clue.

How can I upload text master data for attribute-only Charactertic?

I can't create infosource for attribute-only Charactertic via direct update from Infoobject, because attribute-only Charactertics you can't choose from available infoobject.

Hi,
I faced a similar situation,
I tried all the possible ways like activating InfoObject manually, Through an activation program of aggregates,
Also ran RSRV check which was showing no negative results.
I raised an OSS note for the same but after that when SAP returned back the process chian ran again as it is a daily load which activated the record in 'M'.
I ask you to wait till the next process chian run, and try all possible ways to activate.
If it is not corrected then raise an oss to SAP.

built-in type method means.,
there is no need to create data element and domain objects seperately for each and every field of the table which ever you are creating, system will implicitly fix the size based on the data type you selected....

/BIC/Q -- Master data Table, Time Dependent attributes
/BIC/X -- SID Table, Time Independent
/BIC/Y -- SID Tabel, Time Dependent
/BIC/T -- Text Table

Assuming the infoObject name is ZINFOOBJECT.
The tables are :-
/BIC/MZINFOOBJECT       View of Master Data Tables: Characteristic
/BIC/PZINFOOBJECT       Master Data (Time-Ind.): Characteristic
/BIC/RZINFOOBJECT        View SIDs and Char. Values: Characteristic
/BIC/SZINFOOBJECT       Master Data IDs: InfoObject
/BI0/HZINFOOBJECT                 Hierarchy: InfoObject
/BI0/IZINFOOBJECT                 SID Structure of Hierarchies: InfoObject
/BI0/KZINFOOBJECT        Conversion of Hierarchy Nodes - SID: InfoObject
/BI0/TZINFOOBJECT        Texts: Char.
/BI0/XZINFOOBJECT       Attribute SID Table: InfoObject
/BI0/ZZINFOOBJECT       View Hierarchy SIDs and Nodes: Char.

Mismatch between Master data table /BIC/P and SID table /BIC/S

Hello All,
in our master data table we have logsys in key
after a system copy we had a problem with logsys name, when we have copied our bw prod system in test system we find prod logsys like value, the BDLS doesn't change all values for all structures and some master data table still have prod logsys instead of test logsys but some records have test logsys values
for example:
our production logsys is: BIP300 and our test logsys is BIT300
in our master data test table we find had some records logsys value like BIP300 and others with BIT300
all our ODS and CUBE have the right logsys value in test "BIT300"
we have developed an ABAP report to execute on selected tables to change logsys from BIP300 to BIT300
we execute the report on only P master data table like /BIC/PZCOOR and it's work fine and has changed all the records values
from BIP300 to BIT300 and this program has eliminated all duplicate records
the problem is when on our master data try to view data we find that bw return data from SID table /BIC/SZCOOR
in fact if we go to control data on /BIC/SZCOOR table we find that there still are records with logsys BIP300 and BIT300
and the same if we execute our query on ZCOOR we have values with BIP300 and BIT300
how should we fix this problem?
if we execute our ABAP report on /BIC/SZCOOR to change logsysname we can fix that or we could have problem?
please can give me some useful help
thanks a lot

Hi ,
Follow the sequence of deletion .
1.Delete data from cube YMM_*
2.Delete data from 0pur_c*
3.Delete data from 0material .
4.Delete data from info_rec .
Best option would be do selective deletion for these four materials and run a repair request then after to update into data target.
Hope that helps.

M or P master data table to be used in routine read statement

Hi
I update of a DSO i had a requirment for a routine to get the Attribute of a Infoobject.
So which master data table M or P table i need to use in my read statement and why
Thanks

Use M table as it it the view on time dependent(P table) and time independent(Q table) tables.
M table is view on time dependent and time independent attributes, you can see characteristic values and all the attributes for the Characteristic.
The tables that go in the view are the Master Data Table and the Time-Dependent Master Data Table. If the characteristic only has time-dependent attributes, only the time-dependent master data table goes in. If the characteristic has only non-time-dependent attributes, only the master data table goes in.

Copying Master Data Tables

Hi
Currently we have 0COSTELMT which is compunded to 0C0_AREA.
Now I have to create ZCOSTELMT which is not compunded to 0CO_AREA.
Also I have to create a new Cost Element Master table which is a copy of the existing Master table, except that Controlling Area is not included. Duplicates in the source (two or more rows, from different Controlling Area, having the same Cost Element id) should result in one record. The Cost Accounting cubes will then drop the existing Cost Element Master and include instead this new Master. Any hierarchies built on Cost Element must also be attached to this new Cost Element Master.
How do I create new master data tables which are a copy of old ones with some changes.
Also how do I attach the hierarchies.

How do I delete this attachment of datasources to 0COSTELMNT.
Do I need to create new infopackages using the same datasources or should I create all three datasources too from scratch.
I dont want 0CO_AREA in the new master data.
Voodi,
Can you elaborate " transformations between original DS and new IO"
Thanks

Master data loads for Attributes and texts failing

Hello
Master data loads for Attributs and texts are failing. The error is
1. Lock Not set for Loading master data attributes
2.Table /BI0/YAccount does not exists (this error is for 0Account master data - attribute load)
3.Error 1 in the update.
We had faced this error few days ago and rebooting the server resolved the error but it has recurred after 4 days.
RS12 and SM12 do not show any locks. Activating the info object has also not resolved the error.
Any insight is appreciated.
Thanks
