Identifying Obsolete SNP master data

Hi All,
How can we identify the Obsolete master data in SNP & get rid of that.
How does the generation of Item-Customer combination happens.
We have a requirement to put some kind of filters to identify the Item-Customer combos with no new demand so that they are not generated while master data generation happens for SNP. In our case they are being generated even if demand does not come.
Thanks in advance,
Rahul

Hi,
Do you mean that Product + Customer location in SNP = the Item-Customer combos?
The Products at customer location (Product master in APO) will not be generated automatically thru' CIF, we nedd to maintain those manually in APO.
Please check the procedure "how you are creating the Products in APO at customer location"?
Thanks
Siva

Upload SNP master data for future Materials

Hello Everybody,
I am working on SCM 2007 and due to client's business requirements, I need to load the SNP master data of the new materials which presently do not exist in my R/3 system and will be produced/introduced after six months.
Client wants to do the forecasting for such materials from now onwards. Since, these materials do not exist in R/3, I cannot CIF and bring the master data in my APO system. Please suggest, how can I load SNP master data for such materials. Is there any standard tool available for the same?
Kind Regards,
Rahul

Hi,
If you require product locations only for forecasting I guess you will require only products and locations to be define in APO. I would suggest that you can create a seperate Model for this product locations which is not their in ECC and do the forecasting if it satisfies your business requirement, the reason being once you create master data directly in APO it will not be possible to CIF the master data fom ECC which will create inconsistency.
You can use LSMW also to upload product and location if you are not defining comples parameters like Time phase cost in Product location & their are not many validation which I assume will be the case.
Thanks,
Sanjog

How to configure CVC automation process using SNP master data and BI customer master data

Hi Gurus,
How to configure CVC automation in MPOS structure technically, using SNP master data in CVC creation such as Product and location details
and in parallel extract date from ECC to BI customer master data in DP. Where-in a APO BI cube should have only new combinations which are to be validated with ECC and existing combinations in the MPOS structure before creation of CVC in different regions of MPOS.
Second the automation should also check certain validations of product, location and are part of SNP-ECC master data and are these new combinations.
Could someone guide us in this process.
Thanks
Kumar

Praveen,
The short answer is to move the data into infoproviders or flat files for all of the 'characteristic-type' source data; and then copy CVCs from the infoproviders into the Planning area, probably using one or more Process Chains (program /SAPAPO/TS_PLOB_MAINTAIN).
The long answer is that this is not a trivial undertaking; this could end up being a pretty involved solution. If you do not have enough BW/DP expertise available locally to create this solution for you, then I recommend you consider engaging external resources to assist you. I personally wouldn't even consider starting to work on such a solution without first knowing a lot more about the detailed business requirements, and about any existing solutions that may already in place. An SCN forum is not really suitable for such an answer. In my opinion, the BBP doc alone would be 20+ pages, assuming no enhancements..

Need to identify Datasource for master data 0CRMVERSION

Dear Experts,
I required to load master data for 0CRMVERSION (CRM Plan Version). However could you please help to get suitable datasource for this object.
Thanks in advance!
Best Regards,
Khader

Hi,
Any master data source will exist with its name(i.e with name _ attr/text).
So you can search at your source side at RSA5 and look for data source 0CRMVERSION_ATTR or TEXT.
As my guess there won't be data source. because 0crmversion is plan indicator,
If exist data source then you will find at source side RSA5 other wise you may need to go with custom data source. About source table of 0CRMVERISON you can check with CRM team.
Thanks

Loading master data through process chain

Hi Gurus
I am designing the process chain , I know that I have to start by loading master data first for that I am planning to load attribute first and then to load text and then Hierarchy. Is that the right sequence?
Also how can I make sure that once the master data is loaded , the transaction data loading start automatically?
I am planning to put attribute chage run as last process in every master data loading . Is that correct?
Also i would appreciate if you can tell me the very first step I should follow to start my design, I have already identified the master data and transaction data and their respective dependancies.what would be my next step?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Kris

Hi Kris,
Make two seperate Process Chains for Master Data and Transaction Data
For Master Data:
Your sequence is absolutly correct, Identify what all Master Data Objects and make a list of InfoPackages and Start creating Process Chain as
Start --> Attribute --> Text --> Hier --> Attr Change Run
For Transactional Data:
Identify the Data Targets and the Sequence of loading, then create the Process Chain
NOTE: Always Master Data should be loaded before Transaction Data
After Creating different Chains for Master Data and Transaction Data, Make a one Super Chain called Meta Chain where you can put all these process chains,
Meta Chain --> Process Chain 1( Master Data Chain) --> Process Chain 2( Transaction Data)
also check these threads for process chain creation
Re: Process Chain : Master Data
Re: process chains ?
Hope this helps,

Master data for APO

Dear Experts
I want to learn apo,could you please guide me,how to start with APO,Ahich master i ahve to maintain Material Master Machine master etc...
Regards
Raj

Hi Mr Jindal.
There are many module in APO. DP,SNP,GATP,PPDS
For DP(Demand planning) following link would be of you help
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm40/helpdata/en/8f/9d6937089c2556e10000009b38f889/frameset.htm
Regarding Master data in DP,there is only one master data that is CVC. (charateristic combination Values)
For SNP.
In case of SNP Master data
We cif the data (means transfer the data from ECC R/3 System using Core interface)
First we CIF Plant,then Work Centre,then Material,BOM and Routing.
There after we maintain transportion lane and assign this all to version and models
Link for the study material is

How to identify Master data chars in a cube?

How to identify Master data chars in a cube? Is there any function module with teh help of which we can identify the master data objects in a cube. (I need to avoid manual checking as the no. of objects is more).
Regards,
R.Ravi

right click on cube..click on 'display data model'..
there expand the tree for each dimension..
under it..u will see list of char in that dimension..
for some characteristics u will see an arrow beside it..expand it..u will see further list of char..(with yellow icons)..
these are the list of attributes for that particular characteristic..
for char that have no attr..there will be no arrow beside it..
by this..u can know which char in ur cube hold master data..

Master Data Creation/Maintenance Automation for ECC to SNP

We are starting an SNP project using SCM 7 and ECC 6. We use PP/DS and G-ATP but have maintained our PPM's in APO only all these years. This will be our first time to leverage ECC data for an APO use in either PPM or PDS functionality.
We have targeted our Material/BoM/Routings to be CIF'ed over to SNP to create SNP PDS's. To do this we are going to need to create several hundred new BOM's and several thousand Production versions in ECC. We know which materials and usages we need to do this for and would like to find a way of creating these in ECC using some automated process. Could you please provide any information on options that are available to either automate this data creation or a way to upload this information via a spreadsheet to ECC.
I would also be interested in any information on how to streamline and automate the COST data maintenance. We are planning on utilizing the optimizer and will have bunches of cost data to maintain. Is there a way to load the PDS Single Variant Costs that are maintained via PDS_MAINT and CURTO_CREATE over to SNP. Also if there are any automated ways of loading all the other cost data that is maintained only in SNP that would be great.
The main question ultimatly is... How do you create and maintain the SNP data in an automated way to minimize the amount of master data the SNP users need to touch.
Thansk for any information on this!

Hi Tim
I will suggest to user LSMW program for creating BOMs and other material master elements in R/3 system.
This is simple and easy way for mass upload of material master.
For APO Side, you can also LSMW program or MASSD (T-code) for updating the data in Mass
Thanks

Identifying master data datasource for standerd DSO

Hello Experts,
I am in a process to upload a transaction data into a standerd DSO named "Shopping Cart" from SRM source system.Please let me know how I can identify what is the master data required to be uploaded before uploading transaction data.
Also let me know general process for identifying master data for any standerd infoprovider.
Regards,
Mandar.

Hi,
You might need some of these listed below. I have worked with Bidding Engine part and we needed the Purch org, Purch group, Status texts MD datasources. Check in the Shopping cart flow (rules) if there are any lookups on MD objects. In such case you would need to maintain MD for those.

Master Data Setup Steps & Execution for SNP Aggregated Planning

Hi,
I need some URGENT Help on the Master Data Steps and Execution of SNP Aggregated Planning. I've read the SCM 5.0 help with quite confusing understanding from it as regards to Master Data setup.
I want to run SNP for a Group of Products at a Group of Locations (say Customer Group or Group of Distribution Centers) at an Aggregate Level & then later Disaggregate the Generated Supplies from the Aggregate Level to the detailed Product-Locations level.
I have setup a Location Hierarchy with the Group of Distribution Centers and Product Hierarchy with a Group of Products & since SNP_LOCPROD aggregation is assigned to the 9ASNP02 Planning area ... I created a LOCPROD Hierarchy which use the Location & Product Hierarchy.
The Main intention is to Improve Performance of Planning Runs at a Rough Cut / Aggregate Level by doing a Rough Cut Capacity Check & Split Distribution Center requirements to Multiple Plants producing the same product. This would also help increase the Optimizer Performance.
I am finding there is no place to run SNP Heuristic by Specifiying a Hierarchy in the Selection screen of /sapapo/snp01. So how is Aggregated Planning even run ?
(I know there are Aggregation & Disaggregation Functions available in SNP Interactive Planning ... but what do I put in the Selection as 'Hierarchies' are not available in the Selections in the 9ASNPAGGR Aggregation Planning Book).
Can someone also Provide me Detailed Steps and point me to a Detailed Training document on this ? I could not find anything on the SDN Form as well as BPX Forum as well as on Wiki site from within SDN.
Please if anybody can Guide me Urgently ? I am needing to test this quickly to Demo to someone to demonstrate the APO Capabilities (else the Customer may lose interest in APO as he is comparing functionality with another tool). I don't want this to happen.

Ambrish Mathur

Harish,
Read your Blog with great interest. I think you have very nicely captured the Features over there. It was very helpfull.
I still have some very very basic questions (sorry if I was not clear earlier) and I will try state with an Example.
Are you saying ...
1. If I have 2 Products FG1 & FG2 .. then I need to FIRST
     create another Product Master called FG1_2_GP (say)
     via Trnx. /sapapo/mat1 ?
2. Similarly for the 5 DCs say DC1, DC2 .... DC5 ... I need
    to First Create a Location of type 1002 DC1_5_GP (say)
    via Trnx. /sapapo/loc3 first ?
I think I have not done these at all.
3. Finally are you saying that I need to now Create the
     Hierarchies ... ZCPGPROD (using FG1 & FG2)
     and ZCPGLOC (using DC1, DC2 ... DC5) and
     then create a generated Hierarchy ZCPGLOCPROD
     with Structure SNP_LOCPROD and using the ZCPGPROD
     and ZCPGLOD as Component Hierarchies ?
4. I am still not clear how would you Link Product Group
FG1_2_GP with ZCPGPROD ?? Where do we setup that FG1_2_GP is a Header of FG1 & FG2 ?
5. Similarly where do you Link Location Group DC1_5_GP with the Location Hierarchy ZCPGLOC ?
6. Finally in SNP Interactive Planning with Planning Book 9ASNPAGGR using the Location-Product (Header) as Selection what will I enter in this field ?
I read your Blog. More details on the Example would help ... I saw in your Blog the PH_POWDER product Group (containing PH_FG1,2,3 Products) example which I was not clear whether it was a New Product you created via /sapapo/mat1 or a New Hierarchy Code created via /sapapo/relhshow. Similarly you did create Location Groups PH_DC_AGG but do not seem to have used it. I think you have assigned PH_POWDER group and assigned to Locations 3000, 3100 & 3400 individually via /sapapo/mat1 ... but was not clear on how you linked it to the Location Product Hierarchies. You have also not created a Location Produc Hierarchy at all using PH_POWDER and PH_DC_AGG at all ... or have you ?
7. Is the Untold Trick that the Product Hierarchy Name and the Product Group created in Trnx. MAT1 must be same and the Location Hierarchy Name and the Location Group code created in LOC3 Trnx. should be same ?
8. I had created a Generated Hierarchy at ZCPGLOCPROD ... is this what I enter in 9ASNPAGGR as Selection of Location-Product (Header) ?
9. I want to first understand Standard SNP before I go into the diretion of creating my own Planning areas and Planning Books. Is this really needed for me to Plan 2 Products in these 5 DCs at an Aggregate level. I will be doing Aggregation of all kinds of Demand (STOs, POs, Forecast, SalesOrders, TLB Order Demand) and want the Supply generated at Aggregated Level to Disaggregate to the 2 FGs at the 5 DC Locations based on Proportion of Demand.
I think my question is far more basic wrt the Master Data Setup ... would help if you can clarify each of my questions separately in your reply. The Confusion is due to lack of clarity on the Master Data Setup in linking the Product Group PRODUCT Code & Location Group LOC Code to the respective Hierarchies and also SNP Interactive Planning not having a Place to enter these created Hierarchies.
I do want to praise and appreciate your contribution to the Blog ,,, well done. Full 10 Points Guaranteed on reply to above questions.
Regards,
Ambrish

How should we identify Master Data for a particualr module.

HI SDN,
In an implementation scenario, suppose I am doing 1 standard cube. How do I identfy, the necessary Master data required for this cube.
Is there any specific stategy on which I can safely assume that I have identified and loaded the required master data for the particular infocube.
Regards,
Nitin

Hi Niteen,
While designing your infocube you will have a set of characterstics and key figures.
For characteristics you need to check if they are being used in other infocubes as well, or you nered text for them or not.
Judging on these parameters you can select which all characteristics in your cube need master data.
Regards.

Knowing DataSource, Cube, Query, how to identify Master Data datasource?

Hi,
based on a research on FI-FM at http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/71/d3143cb1b8be00e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
I saw the flow as: first Query(based on cube 0FIFM_C01), the cube which gets data from 2 datasources (0FI_FM_1 & FI_FM_2) through 2 infosources: 0FI_FM_1 and FI_FM_2.
1. What do I need to install on BI to get this going and in which order?
2. In particular, knowing DataSource, Cube, Query do I figure out the Master Data data I need to get this query functional?
Once you know of the specific master data datasources what do I need to do to get this query functional?
Thanks

Dear Amanda,
Let's clarify your questions.
1.Install the cube and related stuff.
RSA1 -> Business content -> Choose " in data flow before" -> install the Cube
2. For the master data and related hierarchy.
RSA1 -> Find the InfoCube -> Right click, find a option such as "display data model". I am not sure about the exactly description because i am not in front of the SAP system.
you can find all the related InfoObject in the right panel.
It is good if you check all of those master data and load them daily. But it is a big job and sometimes it is not necessary. You can:
1) Clarify the business need. to konw which kinds of fields are "Must" for the end user anlaysis and make a list of that.
2) check the list and most of the master data will load by other moduels. for example, cost center, material, customer ... they are too common that you can expect they are in some process chain and loaded daily basis already.
3) load the master data in your list and no one load it before, or discuss with the ownder of process chain, if you need change the load frequency such as from weekly to daily.

Master data in R/3

Hai,
Could somebody tell me how we decide where Master data comes from in R/3? I have 0Mtaerial, 0Plant, 0Object etc... I think the data comes from a central location in R/3...if I'm not wrong. How do i know which tables they come from? ALso there are some more Master data object identified. How do I identify where they come from in R/3?
Thank you.

hi,
yes 0material, 0plant come from r/3, under application component lo-io (rsa5) or you can check with cursor position on root node and do search. most of business content master data come from r/3 (the other from crm, srm, etc). to identify which tables, there's Roberto's
excellent weblog, take a look

Import fixed asset master data

When I try to import fixed asset master data from an excel file to the Sap Business, a problem that I cannot identify occurs, and as a result, data is not imported. The process runs normally, data is processed but at the end an informational message says that zero data was imported. I would like to have help on this to solve this issue.

Demo - Extraction of Customer Master Data from SAP R/3 ECC6 to MDM5.5

Hello,
I am new to MDM . Would appreciate if someone can give a solution to the below request.
We are doing a demo project in our Company to extract all the master data related to SALES cycle. We are doing an extraction of Customer Master Data. Currently we have the unlicensed version of MDM and very soon we will get the licensed version.
We have the Customer Master Repository created in MDM Console. The IDOC type we are using is DEBMDM05.
Is there a easy way to map the fields of IDOC to the MDM Repository. Right now we are doing a manual process of comparing the IDOC fields and MDM Repo in an excel but this is tedious and time consuming.
Can anyone suggest an easier way to identify so that we know which fields match correctly.
Thanks
Leena

Hi Leena,
First of all you have 2 options to generate IDOCs from SAP R/3 system
1.mdmgx>one IDoc per record
2.mdm_clnt_extr>for generating single IDoc having entire set of records.
Secondly,if you want to get the data mapped automatically,you should use standard maps provided by SAP(Business Content).
If at all you have created new fields then you should manually map those fields.
If any other queries pl ask
