Master Data and Attribute

Hi All,
I would like to get a basic question clarified.
Can there exists a one to many relationship between the master data and the attributes ??
eg : lets say
Organization is a Master data and i am trying to fill in data from flat file .
it has a attribute like Area
org    Area
1       A1
1       A2
2       A1
2       A3
just want to know if this will work or will it be against the uniqueness of the master data load ???
Thanks a lot,
GG

Hi GG,
You can not maintain duplicate master data.
If you want to maintain data like:
org Area
1 A1
1 A2
2 A1
2 A3
You have to compound Area with Org. Than you can maintain.
If Area is compound, then Key will be concatenation of Org and Area(Ex(1A1, 1A2....)
Hope it Helps

Difference between Activating Master Data and Attribute Change Run

Hi
Is there any difference between Atribute change run and Activating Master data functionaaly???
if wha it is???
can any one explain clearly?
Thanks
Chinna

When u load master data and its attribute to ur data target and if u change any data or attributes of ur master data,in order to update new data to ur data target attribute change run is performed.
When u create a characteristic and if u keep it as master data and activated..it is master data activation
Activating Master Data
When you update master data from an SAP system the master data is imported in an inactive state. You must activate the new master data so that it can be accessed and used for reporting purposes.
For more information, see Versioning Master Data.
Choose the path InfoObject Tree Context Menu of Corresponding Characteristic Activate Master Data.
Upon Activation there are two scenarios to choose from:
The Corresponding Master Data Is Already Being Used in Aggregates in the InfoCube:
If you are already using the available master data in aggregates in InfoCubes, you cannot activate the master data individually. In this case, proceed as follows:
1. In the main menu, choose the path Tools Hierarchy/Attribute Change.
2. Proceed as described in System Response upon Changes to Data: Aggregate.
The system now automatically restructures and activates the master data and its aggregates.
Please note that this process can take several hours if the volume of data is relatively high. Therefore, you should simultaneously activate all of the characteristics that are affected by changes to their master data, at regular intervals.
The Corresponding Master Data Is Not Used in Aggregates:
Choose the path InfoObject Tree ® Context Menu of Corresponding Characteristic Activate.
The system now automatically activates the master data so that it can be used directly in reporting.
If there is any change r newly added records in master data..then that particular data will not b avialable for the reporting unless u do activate master data...
if u r using aggregates and then there is any change in master data ...then that particular master data change wil not b available for the reporting unless u do arrtibute change run for that info object.(T-code RSATTR)
Master data attributes and hierachies are used in cube aggregates also. So to do update the latest master data attributes values in the aggregtes attribute change run need to be performed.So Attribute change run also updates the master data attributes in aggregates which is not apart of master data activation.
Text loads do not need attribute change run. Attributes, hierarchies and aggregates need attribute/hierarchy change runs. If you do not have aggregates, just activating the master data is same as attribute change run.

Master data and attributes?

Expert's,
Please go through this scenerio and answer the questions?
I have master data ZSTAT for this we have mainitaned the attribute called ZATT.
The data for these is not coming from source.So there is routine in UR which manipulates and updates the ZSTAT as I,N and T based on the conditions given in the UR.But Now If I look at the attribute ZATT I could see only I and N data.How this has maintained.This had done by our onsite folks.My doubt is How did we get only two values for attibute when we are having 3 values for Master data?
Points will be definitely assigned for the right answers?
Thanks in Advance.
Vasu.

Hi
Pls clarify
For the cube, the data for I , N and T are available
For attribute, for T not availabe..is it so?
Have you checked in the master data table ....every master data table have values of attribute stored in the next column
Go to the master data infoobject of the attribute and see whether all I, N and T are there

Diff B/W master data and transaction data

Hi all,
What is the main Diff B/W master data and transaction data. give me some example ?
Thanks in Advance
Krish...

hi krish,
MASTER Data is the data that exists in the organization like employee details, material master, customer master, vendor master etc. These are generally created once.
Master data are distributed throughout the company, they are often not standardised and often redundant. As a result it is very costly to offer efficient customer service, keep track of supply chains and make strategic decisions. With SAP Master Data Management (SAP MDM) these important business data from across the company can be brought together, harmonised and made accessible to all staff and business partners. As a key component of SAP NetWeaver, SAP MDM ensures data integrity via all IT systems.
Regardless of the industry, companies often work with different ERP and Legacy systems. The result: the business processes are based on information about customers, partners and products which is displayed in different ways in the systems. If the data are recorded manually, there are more inconsistencies: some data sets are entered several times, others cannot be retrieved by all divisions of the company.
As corporate applications are becoming increasingly complex and produce ever greater amounts of data, the problem is intensified further. Nevertheless, your employees must work with the inconsistent data and make decisions on this basis. The lack of standardised master data easily leads to wrong decisions, which restrict efficiency and threaten customer satisfaction and profitability.
In a word: in order to save costs and ensure your companys success it is necessary to consolidate master data about customers, partners and products, make them available to all employees beyond system boundaries and use attributes valid company-wide for the purpose of description.
TRASNACTION Data - These are the business documents that you create using the master data - Purchase orders, sales orders etc

BPC 7.5 NW: Import master data and Hierarchy from BI

There is a HTG about Import master data and Hierarchy from SAP NT BW, the BPC cost center master data's property have corresponding attribute InfoObject 0COSTCENTER of BW.
what about for those properties which do not have corresponding attribute in BW? I would asume that START_ROUTINE and END_ROUTINE will do this in BPC side, can we also do this on BW side instead of BPC side?

Hi,
You can check this in start routine which can be called from Transformation file using BADI.

Flexible Upload of master data including attributes - error at new attrib.

Dear all,
trying to use the flexible upload for loading master data with attributes the system aborts if there new values have to be created for attributes, e.g. New Business Unit has region FR, Region FR actually does not exist as key. Therefore at first the value for Region has to be created within BCS and after that the load of the new Business Unit will be successful.
Does anybody know if it possible or which seeting within the upload customizing must be chosen that the new attribut value automatically could be created during upload of the main characteristic?
Kind regards
Dieter

Hello Dieter,
your first way was the right way - befor you can upload Business Units with attribut FR you have to create the attribute in BCS.
It is not possible to create master data for two different characteristics in one flexible upload method.
In the definition of the upload method you have to choose which characteristic you try to upload...
best regards

Upload Master data and hierarchy from BW to BPC : Account Hierarchy

Hello,
I know that you all are aware the property "ACCTYPE" is not available in BW for Account master data.
The requirement here is to load master data and hierarchy for Account dimension from BW to BPC. Can anyone suggest the best approach to populate the priperty "ACCTYPE" in the account dimension member sheet in BPC during this automated load process?
Thanks and regards,
RJ

Sure,
For exemple:
Assume that your infoprovider is 0COSTELMNT and you'll fill the ACCTYPE with the attribute 0CSTELMNTYP. (It's just a exemple).
In the transformation file, in the mapping field you just map the attribute to the property.
*OPTIONS
*MAPPING
ID=ID
ACCTYPE=0CSTELMNTYP
SCALING=*str(Y)
RATETYPE=*str(AVG)
IS_INPUT=*str(Y)
*CONVERSION
You can also, define a hardcode for any property.
F.E: ACCTYPE=*str(EXP)
I hope this can help you.

What is master data and bussiness data

Dear all
I am new guy of crm.
I have some question.
What is master data and transaction data.
What is sold to party,ship to party.
What is heirar key.
What is header data and item data.
Regards
Amit sahay

Hi,
Master Data
Purpose
Data about basic objects used in business transactions and stored in the system on a long-term basis.
This area enables you to store, augment, and consolidate master data, while ensuring consistent distribution to all applications and systems within your IT landscape. By ensuring cross-system data consistency, master data management reduces data maintenance costs, accelerates your business processes, and greatly improves your decision-making processes.
Business Transaction
Definition
Business object in SAP CRM that offers the following possibilities:
        Business interaction with a business partner at a given point in time
        The result of an interaction (for example, a contract)
        The initiation of or request for an interaction (for example, an opportunity)
        The preparation (that is, the collection or supplementation of information) for a possible business interaction (for example, an activity)
        The product or object or a (potential) interaction (for example, a sales transaction or service process)
The same interface and processing concept is used for all business transactions. The various components of business transactions are reusable.
Use
The business transaction provides business structures and functions that can be used in various processes of a company, for example, in sales, marketing, or service.
In CRM, business transactions are used in the following areas:
        Sales:
¡        Sales transactions (sales orders, inquiries and quotations)
¡        Opportunities
¡        Contracts
        Marketing:
¡        Lead Management
        Service
¡        Service Process
¡        Complaints
¡        Service Confirmation
         Activity Management
¡        Interactions
¡        Task Lists
Business transactions can be created, displayed, and processed in various channels.
A sales order can be created in Internet Sales, post processed in CRM Enterprise and then transferred to SAP ECC.
Structure
Business transactions are structured as follows:
The structure of a business activity is based on the answers to three questions:
Who?
The participating business partners can be entered at transaction level.
What?
The products and services to which the business transaction refers can be entered at item level.
When / How Much?
The quantity and the times to be considered can be scheduled at schedule line level.
This is a basic structure, and can differ for certain business transaction categories. Activities, for example, do not contain items or schedule lines. Sales transactions contain all three levels.
Similarly to the business transaction, the item category defines the characteristics and attributes of a transaction item, and controls the processing of an item.
Integration
Various basic functions are linked with the business transactions and can be triggered from the interface for the business transaction if the relevant Customizing settings have been made. These include, for example, the availability check, pricing and partner determination. You can find more information in the SAP Library under mySAP CRM.
See also:
You can find more information on the business transaction in the Implementation Guide (IMG) under Customer Relationship Management ® Transactions ® Basic Settings ® Define Transaction Types and Define Item Categories.
Sold to party:'A' sells product to 'B'.Then "B' is the sold to party for 'A'
Ship To party:A ships(send to ) 'B'.Then 'B' is the ship to party to 'A'(In some scenarious the product can be deliverd eg:'C' then the the ship to party varies

Difference between master data and transactional data

Hi experts i have just started learning BW can u plz let me know the difference between Master data and Transactional data in bw ? and why is master data is first loaded before the transactional data ? thanks .....

Hi
Transaction data represents any transaction occured between two parties like Customer and Vendor.
We maintain id's to maintain the Customer and Vendor.
When we look at the id we don't have a clue like who is the customer, where does he live,,....
So all this info is maintained in Master data in three categories:
1. Attributes
2. Text
3. Hierarchies.
Collection of Attribute, Texts and Hierarchies is called master Data in BI/BW.
Eg: 0MATERIAL, 0CUSTOMER,,,,,
Master data: is data that remains unchanged over a long period of time. Master data contains information that is always needed in the same way. Characteristics can bear master data in BW. With master data you are dealing with attributes, texts or hierarchies.
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_03/helpdata/EN/58/a4513ce4af0a40e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
Master Data is one form of the historical data. There is no frequent changes in the data.Every application has it's own Master Data.
In BI the master Data has been divided into
Characterstics
Texts
Hierarchies
We can load Master Data through different ways.
Pls. find the below link

SAP BPC 7.5: Master Data and Hierachiy Load from InfoObject

Hallo Forum Participants,
I am going to load Master Data from a "Clarity" Reporting Tool in BW to SAP BPC 7.5 via Process Chains (/CPMB/IMPORT_IOBJ_MASTER, /CPMB/IMPORT_IOBJ_HIER) delivered from SAP.
These Process Chains load the Master Data and Hierarchies from an InfoObject. To find out more about Ticking of BPC I have performed a following test. So, on BPC Admin Interface I have duplicated the Dimension u201CAu201D and called it as Dimension u201CBu201D (in BW site InfoObject u201CAu201D and u201CBu201D). In the Member Sheet of Dimension u201CBu201D I have implemented the several changes und tried to load Master Data from BW namely from infoObject u201CBu201D into BPC Dimension u201CAu201D. Therefor I created a transformation file and mapped one for one IDu2019s. The data Manager started these chains, but resulted nothing (Status: red X).
What are the features of BPC InfoObjects in Comparision with regular InfoObject?
How can I load Hierarchies into InfoObject?
What else I must take into account?
Why does not work this simple test?
Regards.
Alisher
Edited by: Alisher Babaev on Jan 6, 2012 1:59 PM

Hallo pkrishna,
so it is successed with master data load, but without hierachiies.
My Master Data Properties on Dimension Sheet are:
-ID
-EVDESCRIPTION
-PARENTH1
-CURRENCY
I have mapped as below:
ID=ID
CURRENCY=/CPMB/CURR
/CPMB/CURR- my technical id in BW.
In the Note you advised transformation file has been mapped like below:
-NODENAME=NODENAME
-HIER_NAME=HIER_NAME
-PARENT=PARENT
-ORDER=ORDER
After executing of package i get whether rejected list or log file. No data can be retirieved from InfoObject.
Have you any Idea?
regards
