Impact of changing/enhance an existing master data object

Hi Experts,
I have a new requirement to enhance 0comp_code in order to add 2 extra fields in the master data.
As 0comp_code is an infoobject used in lots of cubes, I would like to know which is the impact of changing it.
Which actions should I take into account before doing any changes.
Many thanks in advance!

Hi,
If you are adding any new fields to infoobject, you will not have any impact to existing info providers which uses that infoobject.
If the attr u add is a navigational attr and if you want ur info provider to have it, then you will have to enable it and activate the info provider and the update rule as well.
is your data source modified to bring in those new fields? or is it going to be manually maintained?
Regards,
Pradhiba

Master data object - Available for reporting related

Hi Colleagues,
I want to load some 'duplicates' to info Object X. Meaning I have all values same but differ in one attribute. (Key is same). I do not want to use compounding for few reasons. I have not explored on functinality masterdata for reporting (Flexible update, not sure i used correct word) Can you please extend help in understanding the following..
Questions 1:
I understand that I can make available for reporting the existing master data object.
2) Can I add some code to allow duplicates there?
3) Can still the infoobjet navigational attributes has the same functionality - meaning they can be reported from reports of this newly extended masterdata?
Thanks for your time.
Best Regards,
Hari

Hi Arun,
Thanks for your time..
Infoobject alread exists with out the attribute below at the monet. It is also available in the cubes for my reporting on cubes..I would like to add the following attribute for my phase 2 for my new reporting needs..
Data:
Infoobject - Attribute,
SKU1 - GRP1
SKU1 - GRP2
SKU2 - GRP2
The issue is with the 1st 2 records.. As I do not have the componding.. My Cube already have Infoobject with lots of data... I do not want to add attribute componding as it demands for the presence in the cubes also. So I have to double the current data base size.. Ahh I do not want this..
Coming to reporting on the cube
I would like to report on both the things.. Like..
Including attribute
SKU1 GRP1 abcd
SKU1 GRP2 abcd
SKU2 GRP3 xyz
excluding attribute
SKU1 abcd
SKU2 xyd
We do not have any keyfigures..none is related with time..
Hope I am clear..
Thanks for your time,

Impacts in COPA of changing material and customer master data

Dear experts,
In my company we are considering following scenario:
Currently mySAPerp 6.0 is implemented for all modules for the mother company.
We have developed a new global template where there are significant changes versus the existing system, especially in the SD processes. Material and customer master also change significantly in terms of content in the tables/fields and/or values in the fields.
The idea was to build the template from scratch in a new machine and roll-out all group affiliates, but now we are considering the possibility of making an evolutionary of the current system and try to stretch it to the processes defined in the global template.
The scenario we want to analyze is: Keeping same organizational structure in terms of Company code, CO area and Operating Concern in existing SAP client and make an evolutionary of the existing settings to the global template processes.
The doubts we are having are the following:
Changing material & customer master data: Impact in COPA
Option 1: Material master data and customer master data codes are maintained but content in the tables/fields is changed substantially, both in terms of logical content of specific fields and/or the values in the specific fields. We have following examples of changes.
Case 1: source field in material master changes logical content. E.g. Material master field MVGR1 is currently used for product series (design line) and the content changes to be the Market Segment. The product series will be moved to a classification field. At least 5 other fields are affected by this. How can data in terms of COPA line items be converted so that they are aligned at time of reporting?
Case 2: the source field is not changed so that the logical content of the field remains but the values change, i.e. for the same concept there will be different codifications. How can data in terms of COPA line items be converted so that they are aligned at time of reporting?
Case 3: Characteristics where currently the source material master field is a Z field and the derivation is via table look up and where the Z field changes to a classification field. How can you convert the existing COPA line items to ensure that attributes are aligned? Should new characteristics be created or just change the derivation logic of the characteristic?
Option 2: Material master data and customer data codes are re-created (codification of records is changed), meaning that new material and customer codes will exist and content in tables/fields is changed (as in option 1)
Case: material and customer codes are changed. How can data in terms of COPA line items be converted so that they are aligned at time of reporting?
Iu2019ve never phased a similar scenario and I fear that maintaining operating concern while changing source master data and also SD flows (we have new billing types, item categories, sales doc. Types, order reasons) may lead to inconsistencies and problems in COPA.
I would like to ask you experts if you have come across a similar scenario and if from your experience, it is something feasible to do or there are many risks involved. What can be the impact of this scenario in existing Operating Concern for both option 1 and 2 and what would be the key activities to perform to adapt the existing operating concern. What will be the impact of the needed conversions on P&L reporting?
Sorry for the long story. I hope you can help me out.
Thanks and Regards,
Eric

Hi,
First i think you will need to test if it works for new COPA documents created via billing.
If it works fine then the issue is if you wish to apply these changes to the historical data already posted.
Normally there are transactions like KE4S where you can repost the billing document to COPA
However this may not be viable for bulk postings
You can perform realignment (KEND) but this only works at the PA segment level (table CE4XXXX)

Can you help me, please?
Thanks in advance.

Dear Ram,
thank you for your answer , but my problem is still present. If I want to see the modify of the Customer/Vendor Master Data for the Payment transaction Data details, I don't try this information in the TCODE FD04.
Do you know a different report or TCODE that I can use?
Thank you in advance.

Export and import change document for user master data

Dear Gurus,
I have two queries on change document for user master data:
1. Are there any approaches to export and import change document for user master data?
We often do system copy from PRD to QAS for UAT and troubleshooting. Before system copy we export the user master data from QAS and then import after the copy process. We would like to keep the change document for user master data on QAS from being refreshed from PRD for security reason.
2. Change document for Role change in QAS
When the role is created or modified in DEV and then transported to QAS, the role change document doen't include this change log. The role change document in QAS only records those role changes directly made in QAS.
Could you advise this is by SAP design or are there any approaches to record this transported role change in the role change document in QAS?
Thanks
YBY

1. Perhaps you want to consider a system copy to a "virtual system" for UAT?
2. Changes in QAS (as with PROD as well) will give you the delta. They should ideally be clean... You need to check the source system.
Another option is to generate the profiles in the target system. But for that your config has to be sqeaky clean and in sync, including very well maintained and sync'ed Su24 data.
Cheers,
Julius

Change pointers for HR master data

Hi I am trying to setup change pointers for HR Master data , in relation to HRMD_A06 idoc , I did all the steps for setting up change pointers.
Transaction bd52 for my reduced IDOC shows 0 entries, When i did the same for customer master data , BD52 had some entries by itself .
I can't produce any HRMD_A06 Idocs , What am i doing wrong? Should the entries in BD52 be added manually for all the fields i need?
Any help is much appriciated.
Sudheer

Hi,
guess it's not necessary to see some entries in bd52 (it's enough to activate in bd53).
Do you have configured RBDMIDOC (otherwise no IDocs will get generated).
Or you run t-code bd21 for testing. Standard way is to run the report RBDMIDOC in a periodic background job.
A good description could be found here (p. 12):

Change communication structure for master data with direct update

Hi All,
I am having a problem with a change I want to make to some master data. I have added the attribute to the characteristic, but when I have gone to change the communication structure, its not possible (the add line button is greyed out)
I can see the new infoobject in the datasource/trans structure, but not in the comms structure (And yes it is in change mode ).
The master data uses direct update, and I have read that this causes some hassles in changing the comms str.
Can someone please give me some steps in doing this??
Thanks
Ryan

Hi Ryan,
Why u have nothing to map is ?
U r datasource trasfer structure from the source ssytem has nothing new ..
1)TO ur Info object u can only write the routing or give any formula or anythign like the trasfer rules oftions that have when u click on the IO icon..
2) Enhave the structure of the datasoruce that is getting from the R3 source system...
3) Replicate it ..
Then only u will be able to find the extra field at the Trasfer structure... to map to the IO which have been added..
hope it helps
regards

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 info object 0pm_order or apply attribute change run for 0pm_order in info providers 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.

Over write the existing master data with new master data.

hi friends,
we have 2 sources for master data text like source A and source B to load the master data text and as per requirement we have to stop load from source A. But if you check the master data target still the old records are existed (from Source A), if i try to delete those records as you know it is not allowing...and more over if we want to delet the mastr data we have delete the transaction data.
In Mycase i don't want to delet the Transaction data and i need to over write the existing master data i.e Request A with Rquest B.
Is there any solution for this issue.
Thanks in advance,
Sruthi.

For overwriting the text from source B you have to have transformations from source B to your text datasource of your characteristic. Then you map the text coming from source B to the text for the characteristic.
If it comes form source B the key for that characteristic with text, it will overwrite the text existed for that characteristic to the same key.
For example you have 0employee and have a text datasource in source A which has employee_id and employee_name. In the Bw you have mapped in your transfer rules the employee_id to the employee_id and the employee_name to the employee_name. So for example you have extracted from source A the record:
employee_id   employee_name
0001               xpto
If you have a same datasource of text coming from source B, if you do the same mapping in transfer rules in BW coming from source B, and you bring for example the record:
employee_id   employee_name
0001               zzzz
You'll overwrite the old value of xpto to the new value zzzz

Unable to delete master data line items - Master data object CCHIUSRAM

Hello
We have an issue with the Master data Object CCHIUSRAM - CC Hier User Auth Maintenance. It has only master data and no texts no hierarchy. It is not time-dependent. It has /BIC/PCCHIUSRAM, /BIC/SCCHIUSRAM as database table only. This master data is not being used in any infoproviders.
In development client we are able to delete the line items of the Master data along with entering line items. RSRV check gives green for all checks.
In Test / Production client we are not able to delete the line items of the Master data. We are only able to enter master data lines and if we change any item then it creates another entry in the table.
Tried SE14 & RSDMD_DEL_MASTER_DATA - both does not help.
Did ST05 trace, could not find something concrete.
If any one has faced such an issue with any master data item then a response is much appreciated. It has become a bottleneck for us.
Many Thanks in advance
Pradip Parmar

Thanks for the response.
I can do this in EBD, but it is working fine in EBD. I cannot do this activity in EBP / EBT as the systems are closed and I cannot activate directly in EBT / EBP.
Besides, I have recently transported active versions of the object in EBT / EBP all again twice to see if it changes anything.
My guess is that, there is something stupid may be I am missing somewhere.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
How to know which master data objects need to activated from delivery version to active version in R/3 for a particular standard cube like 0SD_C03.
I think, you are looking for master data sources(text,attributes,hier).Am i right?
If so, This cube has almost all SD master data characterstics. So you can activate all the all master data datasources of SD in r/3 (SD-IO).
Any way you requirement does not stop only by using this cube . You will activate all other cubes in SD also. So if you want to activate only needed master data datasources when you are activating a cube, the job becomes senseless. There is no problem(wrong) in activating all master data available under that application , even though you want to activate only one cube.
With rgds,

Loading to Master data object

A master data object is loaded on a daily basis from R3 (Full Load). In the past there have been loads to the same object via flat files.
A full load from R3 does not overwrite records which are not part of R3 but part of a flat file load, is that correct? Thanks

Just to add (even though it is answerd )
If you had the zero-fill property set in OMSL(?) for material no, these two would values have been treated as one (with zeroes filled on the left). Check table value for field TMCNV-FLAG0 (this should be set to 'X' to have the numeric values zero-filled automatically).
Caution : once this setting is done and materials loaded, it shall never be changed.

How to Display the ColumnName for the Text of any Master Data Object in BEx

Hi Experts,
In Bex Analyzer While Displaying the Key and text of any Master data object it shows column name for master data key but not for the text, here client requirement is he wants to see the Text column name as Description for any master data text.
say Customer Number is a master data object , while displaying key and text of CustomerNumber - column names should look like as below
CustomerNumber    Description
C11111                     Pepco
C11112                     Coke
but usually in Bex Analyzer it displys as following(Text without column Name)
CustomerNumber
C11111                     Pepco
C11112                     Coke
Please suggest how can we achive this requirement, thanks in advance.
Regards,
Chandra

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.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/302d4b15-5847-2a10-93bb-9c45d9f06b16?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true
