Importing without unique field

Hi All,
We are into a project which deals with Harmonization of data from various systems.We extract the data from all ECC system and load them into MDM,do the matching merging and assign a unique number.
Now our problem is while loading there is no unique field value given in the source file .So what we planned is to use the combination of all fields to act as unique and load the data.The source file does not contain and mandatory and unique value fields.
After we do match merge in data manager we assign the unique number.So i wanted to know is this the correct way to use all the fields in MDM to import the data.Or is there any other solution for the same.I know that MDM performance will go down if combination of all fields is taken to import the records
Thanks and Regards

Hi All,
Thanks for the reply.
Here is the scenarion below
Client wants to combine all commercial operations worldwide and move to an integrated commercial team based on country, regional territories and global crops. Clients As-Is organization has independent operating divisions within each country or region. Each division have their own SAP ERP systems and hence this does not provide an integrated view of its customer data.
As a first step, it wants to enable existing reporting system to do reporting on integrated customer view by harmonizing customer records across multiple SAP platforms
So the cleansed data is not sent to any ERP system but instead it is sent to BW for reporting.So IDOC type wont be a factor here.Please correct me if I am wrong here.
There is a main table and a tuple.Main table contains address data and Tuple contains only the customer number and source system( like form which system it is ).So no question of key field inaddress table as none of the field has mandated value.
Secondly at first instance we load around 650000 records of cleansed records.We wont perform any matching merging on this.
Here the importing is not a problem because unique number will be provided.
Then when the delta records of around 5000 to 6000 records comes which does not have unique value field we load this using the combination of all 30 fields.
Here was the question like first we have aroung 650000 records in data manger and when we try to load the delta records with with combination of 30 fields still the performance will be stable and good or will it affect?
Now we cannot have any keyfields defined in respective ERP systems.
Please provide the guidance am i going in correct direction or do we have any other solution
Thanks and Regards
Nitin

Sharing common unique field personnel number(PERNR) between two WDAs

Dear All,
I am new to webdynpro for ABAP.I have developed two individual webdynpro applications by hard coding unique field personnel Id in the select queries.
What I mean is I am getting all the fields from the select query and I am able to display the values on screen, I am writing query like
"select required-fields from table1 into table2 where pernr = '000000'".
I need to import common personnel Id(pernr) from one application to another.This can be achieved in portal integration or It can achieved
during individual web dynpro applications development?.Please suggest.
Thanks,
Reddy

Hi Reddy,
You should do this at the application development level. As these two applications are dependent so you can transfer the PERNR field as a context attribute in the Component Interface Controller. This way you can transfer the value.
There is very good blog that you can refer to work with component interface. See this [blog|http://www.riyaz.net/blog/getting-started-with-web-dynpro-for-abap-part-iii/technology/sap/523/]

SAP MDM DISPLAY FIELD AND UNIQUE FIELD DIFFERENCE

Hi All
I am new in MDM, can any body please help me understand...
What is the difference between display field and unique field?
Besides to consider one field to be a key in a lookup table, how should we declare that field in the table, as a display field or as an unique field?
It would be helpful if someone kindly explain this to me.
Thanks in advance.
Santanu Ghosh

Hi Santanu,
To explain you the difference in Display field and Unique filed as in MDM in a prescise manner:
Display field:
Every field you create under your main table ie Product atbel will be a displayed field in MDM data manger irrespective of you making it as display or not in Console.
It means two things
1) That this field will be visible in MDM data manger.
2) This field will be visible in Import Manager for Mapping.
But in case of lookup field you need to make the fields as dispaly or not,if you wish to see them in import manger.
If you do not make the fields in a lookup table as dsipaly then even though you can see them in MDM data manger you will not be able to see them in Import amnger as a result not be able to map them.
Unique Field:
When you make any field as unique it maens taht MDM will not allow you to add two values under this field with the same value.
Eg:You acnnot add two materials with material no 100.
Hope it helped
Kindly reward points if found useful
Thanks

DI: Stock Transfer error (Unique field value does not match the system ...)

Hi
I made an add-on that makes stock transfers via DI API. The add-on has been running for two months with more than 10,000 stock transfers with almost no problems.
The company that is using the add-on have all their products managed by serial/batch numbers.
But just with one transfer Im getting the error in the stock transfer Add() method:
"Unique field value does not match the system serial number [(----)29-52]"
And I tried to debug it without success, I checked that the system serial numbers exists in the origin warehouse and are available. And I really can't find where is the problem.
If somebody knows what this error means, please let me know.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Allan

Hi János, thanks for your answer.
I found what was the problem, it was not exactly what you told me, but you gave me some insights to found the problem.
The thing is that Im using UDT's to store the information of stock transfers (before creating a real SAP stock transfer), because of the funcionality of the add-on. After some user have done some steps or validations, the add-on actually does the real SAP stock transfer.
The problem here was that my tables had some InternalSerial for some Item, for example the serial A-234, and before the real SAP stock transfer was made, they changed the serial from A-234 to A234 (in the serial number management). So the add-on was trying to create the transfer with the serial A-234, but the serial A-234 no longer exists.
I have to create a validation that if they change the serial number for an item, I have to change it in my UDT's.
On the other hand, Im not sure, but I think that I read before that you made a Warehouse Management add-on. This add-on that Im working now is a kind of warehouse management.
Im having a lot of headaches because the poor accessibility to the user fields in the OSRI and OIBT tables. Im sure that you have faced problems with this. If you have any tips or advices about this it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again,
Regards
Allan

Importance of the fields in Material Master

Dear Friends,
I would like to know the following fields and the importance in IS-OIL specific view.
Density / Gravity and Conv.coeff -- The F1 help says if the Conversion Group used as chemical, this field is mandatory. I would like to where this field will be reflecting in further transactions.
Transfer sign --    The F1 Help says You can activate a material for two-step plant-to-plant transfer tracking with the transfer sign. The following settings are possible:
' ' - no tracking available    1   - only statistical tracking   2   - tracking with gain/loss postings, but without mentioning this also we can track through MB51.
I would appreciate if any one would give me the usage of above fields.
Thanks,

Hi Prakash,
Here is the explanation for transfer sign
(which is found in oil specific data):
The system performs gain and loss postings automatically at goods issues and receipts that belong to a single tracking number.
The gain or loss is defined as follows:
Stock increase/stock loss = goods issue quantity - goods receipt quantity of all goods receipts
If the result is negative, meaning that the goods issue quantity is smaller than the goods receipt quantity for all goods receipts, the system creates a gain posting.
If the result is positive, meaning that the goods issue quantity is larger than the goods receipt quantity for all goods receipts, the system creates a loss posting.
As soon as a gain or loss occurs, the system updates the valuation record for the material to reflect the increase in quantity or the loss in quantity at the receiving plant.
Basic Settings:
You define the basis for calculation for the gain and loss determination in Customizing. The following options exist as a basis for calculation for the gains and losses:
●      The material price at the receiving plant
●      The material price at the issuing plant at the time at which the gain or loss occurs
●      The material price at the issuing plant at the time of the goods issue
●      The condition record for the material

What are the important views or field in vendors master record

All,
We are converting two different companies into our SAP. We are at blue printing stage. I was assigned to gather vendor master data requirements in SAP. I sent them all the fields that we are currently using in SAP. I sent them a template of General, Company code data and purchasing views. The legacy team is coming to meet with our it team one to one to discuss the importance of the fields. Now my team manager asked us to submit a presentation about all the questions we should be asking the legacy team as well as the important information we should be discussing from SAP point of view. Can someone guide me here please. It's important.
Thanks,

Hi The task is pretty simple. You would need to create a mapping from the legacy data to SAP data. You would go through every field of the legacy data and identify which field it will map to. there is nothing like important field. Ideally you would get all the fields. Identify the recon account that the vendors should go to.
Hope this helps
Points will be appreciated.

To retain your playlists, artwork, play counts, etc, you need to move the entire iTunes folder, not just the music files..
Correct.
After that just select the new folder location in iTunes> Advanced settings.
Incorrect.
Hold Option and launch iTunes.
Select Choose library and select the iTunes folder.
This will read the iTunes library.itl file in this folder and the library as it was previously will be opened.

File Content conversion at the sender adapter without Key field

Hi All,
I have a requirement ....We are using Message Transform Bean at the sender adapter (we are not going for FCC as we are tranforming a decryption) ..its is a flat file...
we dnot have a key field for one of the node .....we have total 5 nodes under parent node and one of the node does not have key field ....
NOTE: I guess we have to do either Java mapping or XSLT ..but not getting proper weblogs with program...
and not well versed with coding...i got few codes which were either not fulfilling requiremment or they use stream tranformation where it is decaprecated in NWDS and does not allow to compile it properly .
Can somebody get me a code for Java which uses Abstract tranformation ...which can full fill below requirement
parent node
              Node1
                   node 1a
                   node 1b
              Node 2
              Node 3
Input Flat file is in below format
example:
Employee Headre Flat files
Employee Detail Flat Files(this repeates numerous times as much as number of employees)
Employee Trailer Flat Files
Loan Headre Flat files
Load Detaisl Flat Files (this repeates numerous times as much as number of employees)
Loan Trailer Flat files
Assitance much appreciated thanks .

Hi Stefan,
I will rephrase the question i guess its communication gap...
1) we have an existing interface in 3.0..we are not copying the same interface to 7.1 as it was not according to standards and they are phasing out that system.
2) In 3.0 they are reading the Flat files under one record .. the structure is as follows:
Parent Node
           Node
               Row
They are reading all the flat files row by row.
and even in receiver they are reading in the similar fashion
3) In the current structure according to the FS we have to create a structure defined by them which is as below
      Employee
          Header
          Details   node 1
             Details node 1a
              Details node 1b
          Trailer
          Loan Header
          Loan Detail
          Loan Trailer
Receiver structure is
Employee
      Node (this will have the receiver fields which is about 30 fields)
4) We have pulled a sample file from 3.0 for the existing interface as we din get the sample file for existing one in FS and Iam not sure whn are they gonna send it.
5) In the existing interface payload we have everything matching even the field lengths and postions and even key fields and key fields we got from the FS
6) problem is we donot have key fields for the Details node 1a and 1b even in FS or the existing payload and we got an update from the FS consultant that we will be receiving these fields but without keyfields...
see i donot have any problem taking out the details 1a and 1b out of the details header and create the structure ,,,,but the main issue is without key field we will not be able to generate the 1a and 1b nodes or read it in the FCC or MTB (i have to use MTB as we are decryting the file from the sender).
Or is there any other method apart from java mapping or module development to handle these files

How to set item values without using fields in branch's ACTION block?

Okay, I will try to say this in a easy way so it is not weird.
I have created a button, SAVE, that has a Branch of branch type: Branch To Function Returning A Page. This is my code for the branch:
if :P2008_NAP_SUPPORTING_MATERIALS = 'Yes' then
return '2092';
else
return '2040';
end if;
The code for this type of branch is stored in the ACTION block of the Branch page. The ACTION block for a Branch of branch type: Branch To Function Returning A Page is different than the ACTION block for a Branch of branch type: Branch To Page Or URL.
I need to set some item values with some specific values, which I can do with a branch type: Branch To Page Or URL. This is not possible with the branch type: Branch To Function Returning A Page. The ACTION block is totally different.
How can I set some values on say Page 2040 from Page 2008 without using fields in the branch's ACTION block?
Thank you in advance,
Maggie

Andy and Scott,
I love seeing different perspectives in solving problems, it opens my eyes to new ways of looking at/using the tools (reserved words and 'Function returning a Page', etc.).
One of my pet peeves has been that on branches I was limited to only 10 variables to be passed (I know, who would want more - but there was an instance where I had to pass more), and an even more frustrating time when using report Column Linking, which limits me to 3 variables.
At least with the Branch linking I can use your suggestion Andy and add the variable setting statements into the function. I am assuming of course (and I should be able to) that I will be able to set more that 10 variables in a IF condition prior to the RETURN statement. This method will be much more understandable, for me, when looking through the branch at a later time to see what is happening, than an URL link where all the variable are strung out 'in a line' so to speak.
I will still need to use URL Target branching on Links contained within a Column Attribute when I need to pass more than 3 variables, of which I have several places where I do this.

Is there anyway to mark a photo in the camera roll as imported without importing

Is there anyway to mark a photo as imported without actuall importing the photo? Some of the wallpaper apps on the iPad copy the image to the camera roll so you can make the image your background. I don't want to delete the image as I may use it later. Everytime I connect my iPad to my mac it launches iPhoto and wants to import the camera roll.
Another option would be to move items to another photo album and delete them from the camera roll bit I haven't figured out how to do that either.
Any suggestions would be great.

No - to have it imported you have to import it
why not import it and then delete it in iPhoto or ignore it

Opportunity import without other admin tools

Is there a way for me to enable the opportunity import in addition to the typical Marketing Import without the full
admin privilege? When I enable the 'Admin Import' privilege even Oracle Migration Tool On Demand and Oracle Dataloader On Demand
are enabled, which I don't want.

Not at this time. I would recommend that you submit an enhancement request to CRM On Demand customer care.
