How to master data conversion in ABAP/4 programming

I only know there is no special syntax to data conversion and put an "=" between destination data object and source object.
But I don't know whether the conversion is legal or not.
Who can help me?

For conversions between structured fields or a structured field and a singlefield , flat structures were previously treated like C fileds, With the implementation of Unicode this approach has become too error prone, since it is not clear if programs can be executed with platform-independent semantics.

How the master data of multi language is shared in the info cubes

hi frindz,
how the master data of multi language is shared in the info cubes
bye bye
venkata ramana reddy.G

Hi Ventak,
In the infocube you have the key. Then you have a text master data table that has as key (for the table) the key of the value (the one in the cube) and the language, and the text in that language as another field (short, med, long).
Hope this helps.

Diego

How the master data delta works

hi, experts
i want to know how the master data delta (ale pointer) works? what the principle is? for example, the 0asset_attr datasource has 20 fields, any of the 20 fields changes can triger the delta? if i enhance 3 fields to the asset master data, does the 3 fields change can trigger delta?

Application Link Enabling (ALE) change pointers are configured and used to be able to trigger processing of an outbound process, such as data extraction, and determine only those Master Data records that have changed. This is all done without the need for a program being required to determine deltas.
SAP delivered program, RBDMIDOC runs periodically and deterlines if change pointers have been updated for specific message types. New or modified Master Data records are automatically initiated via ALE. RBDMIDOC references the correct IDoc program for any given type via TBDME (the TBDME table also cross-references message types with the ALE change pointer table) so that the data goes where it should and is processed accordingly. Tcode BD60 is the interface in SAP for maintaining the TBDME table.
When a change is made to the standard content Master Data record, the delta will be identified. Any columns that have been enhanced to the Master Data will not be identified as a delta because enhancements are a post-extraction process and only get updated after the standard content structure has been populated.

How purchasing master data setup impact CO costing run

Dear all,
Question 1:
Could somebody out there, if you have this area of integration knowledge with CO, tell me the detail process and logic of how, when a costing run is perform, the master data in the Material master fields of Procurement Type and Special Procurement Type; Purchasing Information Records; and Source List impact the successful of costing run?
Question 2:
CO guy complaints that there are missing PIR and source list for following type of material setup in material master:
A) procurement type - F, Special procurement - blank (i.e. third party)
B) procurement type - F, Special procurement - NON-blank (i.e. can be intercompany, subcontract, vendor consignment),
Hence Costing run unable to determine the price. Is it a valid complaints
Regards,
Daniel

Hi,
Though Costing is realted to the price control , cost lot size and valuation class in Material master.
It almost equvalent dependent on Special Procurement type also is costing view and MRP view.
Do refer the effect of special procurement type in costing in belowHelp Link

How to do Data Conversion SSAS ?

I have fact table and a dimension table where the fields which I want to connect are of different data types i.e integer and string, So I need a help on data conversion how it is done in ssas .

Hello,
In DSV you can change the linked table into a "named query" and then you can do the data type conversion there, like
SELECT CONVERT(varchar(20), MyIntColumn) AS MyCharColumn

How Consolidated Master Data Gets Linked to the Transactional Data?

Hi,
Suppose we have three legacy systems holding customer master data. We fetch the data from these three systems into MDM and consolidate the records. Let's say there were three customer master records:
CUST123, John James, 123 Elm Street
CT00123, James, John, 123 Elm St.
0000123, John James, 123 Elm Street.
We merge them in MDM and create one record
NEWCUST123, James, John, 123 Elm Street
Question is: How the transactional data from the three legacy system will be mapped to this new customer master record? How the purchase orders will know that CUST123 is now NEWCUST123 ? When this mapping happens in a project and who does that?
Regards,
-T
Edited by: mdm3north on Jul 21, 2011 2:30 AM

HI,
I agree with Anil on that,it is the same reason for which few projects have key mapping repository in place,which holds the key field mapping information telling them that this Customer number means this in the Legacy system.
Well manual intervention is required as PR/PO which is active should be closed before such an activity.
Thanks,
Ravi

How does Master Data delta works.

Can any body please explain me what is data flow in master data delta.Are the ale change pointers utilised , if yes how..And is delta queue used in master data delta.

Amit,
As you may be aware of this, ALE Change pointers are used to minimize the no of records to be sent to the extracting systemextractos. in other words the master data delta is been handled this way. It is better that you read the following that should be giving you some idea.

How many master data tables

Hi Friends,
When you activate master data in all kind of perspectives, then how tables we can get and what are those with naming conventions, i was told by somebody that we get 12 tables, is it right?
Regards,
Balaji K. Reddy

Hi Balaji,
It depends upon the settings you make when you create your info-object. If you check all the options then these tables would be created:
1. SID table - /BI0/SXXXX
2. View of master data table - /BI0/MXXX
3. Master data table (time-independent) - /BI0/PXXXX
4. SID table attributes - /BI0/XXXXXX
5. Text table - /BI0/TXXXX
6. Master data table (time-dependent) - /BI0/QXXXX
7. SID table attributes - /BI0/YXXXXX (time dependent attr)
8. Hierarchy table (of a characteristic) - BI0/HXXXX
9. SID table for hierarchies - BI0/KXXXX
10. SID Structure of the hierarchy - BI0/IXXXX
11. Hierarchy interval table (of a characteristic) - /BIC/JXXXX
where "XXXX" is a standard SAP info-object.
All these tables are generated by ths system and the data from these tables would be fetched depending upon the action executed in the query. In short, we need not bother about these tables and the system takes care of it.
Bye
Dinesh

Master Data Conversion (Vendor, Employee...)

Is there anyone who know better way to convert following master data to Oracle Apps?
- Vendor
- Employee
- Distribution set
- Bank
null

I've got two approaches for your question:
1. Use a third party tool to "paste" the data into the Oracle form. I import the data into Excel and organize it to work with Microsoft's Scriptit! Utility but there are others. I see this as a safe approach because the application will validate the data on input and populate all the tables with the correct data.
2. I've also used the suggestion of the previous response to go directly to the base table(s) but I'm not much of a fan of SQL*Loader. Using Excel, you can insert, query and/or update an Oracle database. You should exercise the same level of care here to hit all the relavant tables and use the correct sequences.

HR Master Data conversion

Hi all,
Did anyone tried the program RPUSTD00 to upload HR master data into SAP HR?
Are all the fields present in the HRDATASET mandatory to create the action ?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
you have to make sure that the action used by the report is correct customized in your System.
Also you have to make sure that the data in in the file is coresponding to your customizing for the infotyps for example the title in IT0002 or Pay Scale Group in IT0008.

Bernd
