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 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.

  • Turning off the text for a master data object

    What happens if we turn off the texts for a master data object?  (In RSA1, under info objects - double click on info object and go to Master data/texts tab and untick the 'with texts' box).  Are there any risks in doing this?  Has anyone performed this and run into any issues?  Thanks

    Hi,
    There are no issues in turning off the texts, but if its an object that requires description in the report, say material, plant etc, then you won't have that available as the texts are disabled and not loaded.
    Cheers,

  • Can we apply attribute change run for datatarget (Master data )

    hi,
    can we apply attribute change run for datatarget like masterdata where for example i am loading 0pm_order_attr to 0pm_order data target (master data). after successful loading of data, do i have to apply attribute change run for <i>info object</i> 0pm_order or apply attribute change run for 0pm_order in <i>info providers</i> because after successful loading of pm order data, i am trying to load transactional data and it is showing error "No SID value found for xxx record"
    pls advice how not to make the error repeat even after successful loading of master data.
    Thanks in advance, quick responce is greatly appreciated.

    Hi all,
    i am in production server and cannot activate the master data 0pm_order which is in info providers directly, is there any chance of activating it with any other option.
    coming to attribute change run, i understand that we can apply for master data objects which are there in info providers, am i correct?
    i ran attribute change run yesterday for the info object 0pm_order but even after doing that i tried to load transactional data but it was failure with the same error "No SID value found", why i am getting when i found master data loading successful and ran attribute change run for infoobject.

  • Are there any set guidelines for customer master data cleansing.

    1) I was wondering if there are any set guidelines for customer master data cleansing.
    2) Part of the cleansing effort involves consolidating number of divisions etc. Any pointers to this regard?
    3) Also how do we deal with open docs, billing plans etc?

    The data cleansing requirement will take place, while move the data from legacy system to new target ERP / system. I.e. need to cleanse, enrich, de-duplicate, & standardize.
    The existing data may not have consistent format since it is often being derived from various sources. It may contain duplicate information as well missing or incomplete information. Cleanse and normalize content to achieve accuracy, consistency and proper understanding of the data.
    Also it’s a process of organizing the data, which will ensure enrichment of your data which are up-to-date, accurate, and complete. These processes are manual / labor intensive and require a fair bit of specialization.
    If you need to have more details please feel free to interact with us as per below.

    Regards,

    Hi Chandra,
    I suggest you to enhance your datasource with text feild, by adding text feild to your datasource in ECC side and replicate it ti BI side.
    For this you have to write code at CMOD.

  • How to use LSMW on CRM for bulk master data creation?

    Hello Experts,
    I need your help to able to use LSMW on CRM for bulk master data creation. Below is described my detailed requirement; -
    We have CRM 2007 integrated with SAP ISU (ECC6.0). As per business process all Business Master Data (BP details, Business Agreement details etc) and Technical Master Data (Connection Object, PoD etc.) is created in CRM and then it is replicated in ISU. We are going to start Assembly Test soon. Now we need to have all master data in place. Tool we want to use is LSMW.
    Now can you help me right from scratch on how to use LSMW for bulk master data creation in CRM?
    Please give me documents / links etc that is relevant.
    Regards,
    Rohit

    Hi,
    I have looked into your query.
    These are some information which might be useful to you.
    What is LSMW?
    Legacy System Migration Workbench or LSMW is SAP standard program that can be used to easily load / change master data or transactions in SAP without any programming at all. It can be used to upload data at cutover, such as: open orders, contracts, materials, vendors, stock on hand. It can also be used in a production system to make changes to existing data. Very limited authorization checks are available on the transaction, so the use of it must be very well controlled.
    One input file can be used to create all the views of the material master. For all the material types. Even if different views and fields are used for the different materials.
    Steps to take
    1. Create text file with data to be loaded
    2. Set up and run LSMW
    The following link will provide good information on LSMW Idoc method:

  • How to change specified hierachy node to master data attribute automatic?

    Dear BW experts:
             How to change specified hierachy node to master data attribute automatically? I have a retail business: I have a fixed material group hierachy in R3 Retail ,Now I will extract the material group hierachy ,my goal is that the specified material group hierachy node as dimension in query ,not show hierachy level,So I need change specified material group hierachy node to material group's attribute.
    Anybody solve the requests?
            Thank you for your help in advance !

    If I understand your requirement correctly, you need to have a specific Material Group Hierarchy level (Say Level 2) to be an attribute of Material Group. Usually, this level represents a Brand or Segment, or something with specific meaning.
    If this is correct, here are the things you need to do:
    1) Create an InfoOnject for this specific attribute representing the specified hierarchy level
    2) Add this InfoObject to Material Group as an navigational attribute
    3) Select this navigational attribute in your InfoProvider
    4) Create a transformation routine for this navigational attribute in Material Group Transformation so that the specified hierarchy level for Material Group will be found and populated. The detail of this routine will depend on your specific requirement. Also, you have to make sure Material Group Hierarchy is updated before Material Group attributes are loaded. If you are not family with ABAP, please ask an ABAPer to help you for the Transformation Routine.
    5) Include this navigational attribute in your query along with other required InfoObjects.
    Hope this help and good luck!

  • How to upload PO text of material master ?

    dear gurus,
    how to upload PO text in material master in mass , can i use LSMW or BDC ? if yes then how?
    I have done the recording but LSMW is not working for PO text.
    Upesh khairnar.

    Hi!
    try using Purchasing Inforecord for this. in here you maintain master data linkage for Material Master and Vendor Master. You will just have to input the Material Number, the Vendor Account, and the Purchasing Org. In here you can maintain the PO text defaulted per Material Number. After the maintenance of Inforecord, the PO text will be reflected on the PO document.
    Here is the ff Transaction Code:
    - ME11 (Create Inforecord)
    - ME12 (Change Inforecord)
    - ME13 (Display Inforecord)
    Hope this helps, Thank you.

  • Creating Text for Customer Master

    There are custom Text id and description (eg.  ZAFF 'Affiliate Note') to be created for each type of customer(Sold-to, Ship-to,Bill-to,Payer).
    I am working on a inbound interface using custom function module, which is customized from IDOC_INPUT_DEBITOR. When the new customer will be created in SAP, how to create these text for each type of customer?
    Any suggession will be helpful.
    Revert back if you have any doubts.

    You can do this in the user exit for that customer based on the partner type by fetching the entry from Partner table like VBPA .
    check the entry from here for the customer and based on the partner condition like SH BP PY SO u can populate the text .
    you have to do this in teh user exit of that Inbound IDOC.

  • Hi..how we enter standard text for smartform using include text

    ..how we enter standard text for smartform using include text..
    i know only using so10 we write text..
    in smartform it asking text-object
                                     text-id,
    so what values we should give to get text

    Hi,
       Do u want to print Standard Text or the Texts that are maintained at the Transaction level.
    If it is standard text , then u use text id as ST or if it is Texts that are maintained at the Transaction level then u have to go to that specific transaction and check for that text , then go to text editor ,in the goto menu u have header data where u get the Text id , text name.... , use them in ur smartform in the INCLUDE text.
    Further u have the option of text modules in smartforms which act as standard texts, so if u r going for creation of standard texts then its better to use text modules.
