Maintain SAP ECC (R/3) Master Data with backend validation

Hi,
I would like to maintain SAP ECC (R/3) Master Data via the Visual Composer. As far as I understand the functionality, it should be possible, if the ECC provides a BAPI to do that.
The BAPI must be able to do the same validation that we have, using the backend itself.
Now the question is whether it is possible, that the BAPI returns the result of the validation back to Visual Composer, because of course the user wants to know whether his action was successfull or not (because of invalid values for example).
Does anybody has expierences with such a requirement? Can a BAPI return something to the Visual Composer and how can I integrate such a return result in VC?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Johannes

It is possible to captured BAPI's return parameters in VC.
Steps:
1.Add a Form and BAPI to the story board.
2.Now connect the OUT port of a BAPI to the IN port of FORM , this you can do by
just drag(BAPI Out port) and drop( FORM in port).
3.Add a Expression Box in FORM.
4.Display the values returned by BAPI in the expression box(Use formula)

Bank detials Maintained in Vendor master data with out Sort code / Bank Key

Hi
We have a Requirement of creating Japanese bank details in Vendor Master Record. But No Bank key / sort code is available.
Even for Russian Bank accounts we donu2019t have any bank key / sort code available from client.
System does not allow to create vendor bank details with out providing Sort code/ Bank key details.
Is there is any way of creating bank details in Vendor master data with out giving Bank key details.
Regards,
Karunakar.

Hi,
I assume you fill in Sort Code in bank number field.
In my company, our bank number is set not to duplicate bank key.
So bank key is simply a reference. And our bank number field is not mandatory.
If you follow these settings, you can create an abitrary bank key for your vendor bank account.

SAP PP (Production Planning) Master Data Definitions

SAP PP (Production Planning) Master Data Definitions and Transaction codes.

SAP PP (Production Planning) Master Data Definitions
• Factory Calendar
• Material Master
• Resource • Bills of Material (BOM)
• Production versions
• Master recipe
Factory Calendar: The factory calendar is defined on the basis of a public holiday calendar. The public holiday and factory calendar is a central module in the SAP System. It is assigned to a specific plant during the initial system setup and therefore used in many areas (e.g. in Logistics and in Human Resources) in the system.
Material Master: Material master comprises if all the basic data of the material for each department. The data covers all the relevant information required for the transactional flow e.g. sales, Planning, Production, Quality, Purchasing, Costing etc. Material master covers all the descriptive and control data and the flow of information depends on fields maintained within it. The integration of all material data in a single database object eliminates redundant data storage. Material Masters are created once and can be changed or extended whenever required
Bill of Materials: Bill of Materials or commonly called BOM is a formally structured list of components that make up a product or assembly. The list contains the material number of the component together with the quantity and unit of measure. BOMs are used in their different forms in various situations where a finished product is assembled from several component parts or materials. Resources: Resources are production facilities and persons involved in a production process that have capacities. They are subdivided into categories to specify their suitability for certain purposes or their use in certain processes
Product Versions: A production version determines which alternative BOM is used together with which task list/master recipe to produce a material or create a master production schedule. For one material, we can have several production versions for various validity periods and lot-size ranges. The production version determines the following:
• The BOM alternative for a BOM explosion.
• The task list (master recipe) and any alternate, as needed.
• Lot-size restrictions and validity parameters.
Master Recipes: A master recipe defines the following data that is required for the production of materials without relating to a particular order: processing steps, resources, material components, and control information for the process control level. Master Recipe enables to plan the production of materials (products). Therefore, Master Recipe is used as a template for process orders and run schedules as well as a basis for product costing. In a Recipe
• The Phases (work steps) to be carried out during production.
• The activities to be performed in the operations as a basis for determining dates, capacity requirements and costs.
• The use of materials during production.
• The use of resource.

Maintain number range interval for master data upload for existing employee

Hi Experts,
1)I have the scenario to upload additional data for existing employees in PA. Employees are already existed in SAP HR , But additional Infotypes are required to maintain for those emploees
2) I have the senario where i have to upload master data for new employees.
Pls give the detailed description of how to maintain number range interval i.e. External or Internal for upload in both the above scenario. Do we have to maintain number range manually in master data record & then upload it Through BDC or LSMW?

Yes Mr. Patil...
For existing employees
you need to execute HIRING ACTION Through BDC with External number range. While recording you have to use atleast three infotype i.e. IT0000,IT0001,IT0002. In addition you can upload other infotype through PA30.
For new employees
While configuration you can create another number range as internal for new hiring. and use NUMKR feature as well.
Here I don't understand that why r u looking for upload process for new hiring, if it is not mass hiring. It should be day to day activities which would be done by user through PA40.

Maintain output device in user master data

when we try to print the Purchase order smartform we are getting the
following update terminated error message.
" Please maintain output device in user master data".
1. If we maintain output device in my user profile as any printer name
then we are not getting the update terminated error message.
2. when we select the network printer it is always printing
using the output device maintained in the user profile (example
LOCL). it is not printing using network printer.
when we select the network printer it should overwrite the user profile
output device.
Can we have the network printer selected irrespective of the printer
maintained in the user profile?
Please provide the solution
Title was edited by:
Alvaro Tejada Galindo

Hi
If you mention printer as LOCL the system will use network printer and the printer will be controled by Windows.
If you specify printer name the printer will be controled by SAP.
I hope now you can re-analyze your issue.

Deletion of master data with / without SID

Hi Experts,
Client have requested for master data clean up.
Requirement:
"Several masterdata tables in Production system contain wrong entries. These entries should be cleaned up. The attached Excel contains the keys of the entries to be deleted"
Steps to be taken:
1. emptied/deleted content of all the cube.
2. delete data from master data
Help required:
What will be impact of deleting master data with SID when DSO data is not deleted.
What if i choose without SID option for deletiing master data
Regards
Suresh Kumar

Hi Suresh,
Deleting master data is one critical job and ned to be very care ful.
First try to find out the where used list of that particular IO. delete data from all the CUBEs and DSOs. i don't think without deleting the transaction data from all the objects that you see from where used list, you will be able to delete the maste data.
System doesn't allow you, it will say "Not all selected data is deleted" Some message of this sort when you try deleting the master data.
If you are deleting the TD and master data, why do you need the SID to be spared, delete them too. next time you load the correct master data. the SIDs are again generated.
Go thru the below thread, this gives you lot if info on MD deletion.

Use of "with master data & with out master data" at DTP update level

Hello experts,
In DTP, I check "with out master data". When I try to send corresponding transactional data, It is showing SID related error. Can anybody suggest what is the use of "with master data & with out master data" at DTP level.
Thanks in advance,
Zakir.

HI
HI in DTP level If you set this indicator, the system terminates the update of the request if no values are available for a data record.
Load the relevant master data before you load the transaction data.
If you set this indicator, the system terminates activation if master data is missing and produces an error message.
If you do not set this indicator, the system generates any missing SID values during activation.
In DataStore maintenance, if you do not set the SIDs Generation upon Activation indicator, the No Update without Master Data indicator in the DTP has no effect.
thx

Error handling for master data with direct update

Hi guys,
For master data with flexible update, error handling can be defined in InfoPackege, and if the load is performed via PSA there are several options - clear so far. But what about direct update...
But my specific question is: If an erroneous record (e.g invalid characters) occur in a master data load using direct update, this will set the request to red. But what does this mean in terms of what happens to the other records of the request (which are correct) are they written to the master data tables, so that they can be present once the masterdata is activated, or are nothing written to masterdata tables if a single record is erroneous???
Many thanks,
/ Christian

Hi Christian -
Difference between flexible upload & Direct upload is that direct upload does not have Update Rules, direct upload will have PSA as usual & you can do testing in PSA.
second part when you load master data - if error occurs all the records for that request no will be status error so activation will not have any impact on it i.e. no new records from failed load will be available.
hope it helps
regards
Vikash

SAP ECC 6.0 EHP4 Compatible with MDSD 3.0?

Hi Folks,
Is SAP ECC 6.0 EHP4 compatible with MDSD 3.0? I have read the documentation but its not clear for me if this would be possible.
It says that MDSD 3.0 is compatible with SAP ECC 6.0 EHP3, but i would like to know if compatible with EHP4.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Gilberto,
yes, this should work fine. We just have one client who did the upgrade and he has not experienced issues up to now - even he is still in testing phase.

BPC 7.5 NW: Master Data with leading zeros

In BPC 7.5 NW, is it still an issue to have Master data with leading zeros?
In other words, is it still not advisable to have leading zeros in the Master data.
Let me know your views.
Thanks.

I was also having the same issue almost in the same version.
Other than what you mentioned, the master data was also jumbling up like 0120, 0130, 0145, were set up as 120, 145, 130....
The workaround that we took was to put a leading alphabet, when the data comes into BPC.
Try doing that, it will surely help.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

Is it possible to make a delta load for a Master data with Standard DS

I have a full load bringing huge data for master data with standard datasource.
I want to run a delta due to huge no. of records but when I create a new Infopackage it dont give a option for delta update.
Are delta loads specific to only standard or customized DS's or any other reason behind that ?

I kind of understand what you are asking about, but I am unclear as to how it pertains to our BO SDK.
You are wanting to find the differences between a large dataset and another large dataset.
I am not sure what an Infopackage is.
Are you using the BO Enterprise SDK or some other product?

Sap bw 7.3 master data load error

sap bw 7.3 master data load error
erroe: Exception in Substep Rules

Hi Jayram,
I am assuming that you are getting this error when you are loading data from PSA to IO. If so, the error might be because of
1. Duplicate records
PSA might have duplicate records. But you will be able to load only one record to Master data IO. In DTP Update tab, there is an option for "Handle Duplicate Record Keys" . Just enable this & try to load again.
2. Erroneous records.
Some special reocrds are allowed in PSA where as thye might not be allowed in Master Data/Data Targets like Lower case letters/ some speacial characters etc. If error is because of this, then you might need to correct the data at PSA level & reload the data to Master data. Else get it corrected in source system itself & fetch the data to BW. Or write some code to take care of these special characters.
Hope it helps!

Pavan

How to maintain master data with 3 different IS components

Dear Gurus
We have got 5 companies and we are implementing SAP with 3 IS components.
1) We are implementing IS-EC&O (DIMP).
2) Implementing IS-DBM (Dealership Business Management system)
3) We have IS-Real Estate.
The companies will have shared services such as HR, group Procurement and Finance, This functionality will reside on a main ECC 6.0 system.
Can someone explain:
1- How and where would master records reside?
2- How are the various databases will communicate?
3- Can all the 4 above systems share a single database?
Thanks in advance

1- How and where would master records reside?
On the master ERP 6.0? on an MDM server? there are various possibilities.
2- How are the various databases will communicate?
The databases won´t communicated but the systems on top.
3- Can all the 4 above systems share a single database?
They can share the same database software using MCOD (http://service.sap.com/mcod) - with all pros and cons but you will need to have the same master data in all instances though.

2 system PLM setup question - Connecting to another ECC system for master data

I have been tasked with setting up the latest version of PLM in our environment. We have a free standing PLM Server (ECC 6.0 EHP7, SP2 with PLMWUI 747, SP3) that we would like to connect to another ECC system (ECC 6.0 EHP5, SP4 with PLMWUI 701, SP4) for its master data. In trolling around google and the marketplace, there isn't any setup guide or anything that really explains what the options are. Does anyone know what the possible setup options are or even better provide links to documents that show how to set this up? Can PLM be setup in the way that we want it to be?
Thanks in advance.

Hello Steve,
Unfortunately there isn't a lot of PLM documentation available.
I'm not sure I really understand what you need, but in essence, the PLM framework was developed using the SPI technology. That is, the Service Provider Infrastructure, which is a technology to split the UI from the business logic behind it. The idea is, in the end, you can have one single DB, connected to multiple systems and different types of UIs. (you can find some more details here: http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/SPI/Home)
As far as I know, you have to do some customization in SPRO and maintain views /PLMB/V_RFC_DEST and /PLMB/V_RFC_LSYS. Everything else is done by the PLM framework via RFC connections.
Hope this helps you...

Create Material Master Data with BAPI

Hi,
I don't know using of BAPI. I want using BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA bapi for creating material master data for Basic Data1, Basic Data2, Purchasing and MRP views. Does anybody can help me ?
Thank you
Good night

Hi,
Please refer to the documentation below:
BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA
Short Text
Create and Change Article Master Data
Functionality
You use this method to create new material master data or to change existing material master data. The data on a material can be transferred for each call.
When creating material master data, you must transfer the material number, the material type, and the industry sector to the method. You must also enter a material description and its language.
When changing material master data, you need enter only the material number.
In the header data, you must select at least one view for which data is to be created. Depending on the view selected, you must maintain other required parameters. If you do not enter values for all of the required parameters, the method is ended with an error message.
The corresponding fields in the tables (such as CLIENTDATA) must first be supplied with data by the calling program. An indicator must also be set for each of these fields so that the data is written to the database by the method. This requires the calling program to supply the corresponding field with the indicator in a checkbox table (for example, CLIENTDATAX). Checkbox tables exist for tables that do not contain any language-dependent texts (MAKT, MLTX), International Article Numbers (MEAN), or tax classifications (MLAN). Several data records for a material can be created in these tables.
If a structure contains fields for units of measurement (such as structure CLIENTDATA, field BASE_UOM), language indicators (such as structure MATERIALDESCRIPTION, field LANGU), or country indicators (such as structure TAXCLASSIFICATIONS, field DEPCOUNTRY), there is always a field of the same name with the ending _ISO. This makes it possible to transfer either the internally used SAP code or a standardized ISO code for the units of measurement, language indicators, or country indicators. ISO codes are converted to an SAP code internally for further processing. The ISO code is used only if the SAP code is not transferred. If you use ISO codes, there must be a unique assignment of the ISO code to the SAP code in the following activities in Customizing for Global Parameters:
Check Units of Measurement
Define Countries
If you want to maintain long texts (basic data texts, internal comments, purchase order texts, material memos, or sales texts) or customer-defined fields for a material, some special conditions have to be observed. They are described in the documentation for parameters MATERIALLONGTEXT and EXTENSIONIN.
