Master Data Conversion (Vendor, Employee...)

Is there anyone who know better way to convert following master data to Oracle Apps?
- Vendor
- Employee
- Distribution set
- Bank
null

I've got two approaches for your question:
1. Use a third party tool to "paste" the data into the Oracle form. I import the data into Excel and organize it to work with Microsoft's Scriptit! Utility but there are others. I see this as a safe approach because the application will validate the data on input and populate all the tables with the correct data.
2. I've also used the suggestion of the previous response to go directly to the base table(s) but I'm not much of a fan of SQL*Loader. Using Excel, you can insert, query and/or update an Oracle database. You should exercise the same level of care here to hit all the relavant tables and use the correct sequences.

MASTER DATA ISSUE , VENDOR MASTER

Hi,
I have a problem in vendor master. first i will explain the scenario.
we have two company codes one is in America, and the other is Europe.we have two purchase organisations called X (meant for america)& Y( meant for Europe) . X and Y has two plants called AMO1 (meant for america), US33. ( meant for Europe). purchase org X is assigned to plant america (us33),purchase org Y is assigned to Europe(am01).we are using centralized POrg. so we asshined to POrg to Plant.
Now when i am creating vendor master data. system is accepting for compay code Europe for Purchase org X( america). How it will happen?. It should propose X only.but i created vendor master record for cross combination of different assignment.Folks can you please suggest solution. SAP SHOULD THROW ERROR MESSAGE IF I CREATE THIS TYPE OF COMBINATION.But that doesn't happen.waiting for reply

Hi Vamsi,
Normarmally we can map the procurement structure by three ways.
1. Corporate Specific Enterprise Structure : where CC will assigned to Plant and Plant is assigned to POrg., In this case CC & POrg. assignment dont happen i.e.
a. POrg. can procure the material for any CC.
b. Vendor master can be created with any combination like CC ( USA) & POrg. (Europe) or CC ( Europe) & POrg. (USA), here system will not throw any warning/Error message.
and I am sure Vamsi your client is using Corporate Specific Enterprise Structure mapping.
2. Company Specific Enterprise Structure : Here CC will assigned to Plant and Plant is assigned to POrg., In this case CC & POrg. assignment does happen i.e.
a. POrg. can procure the material for only specific CC assigned with specific POrg..
b. Vendor master cannt be created with any combination like CC ( USA) & POrg. (Europe) or CC ( Europe) & POrg. (USA), if you will try then system will throw any warning/Error message.
i.e. .vendor Master can be created only CC ( USA) & POrg. (USA) or CC ( Europe) & POrg. (Europe) combination.
3. Plant Specific Enterprise Structure : Here assignment will be same as Company Specific Enterprise Structure.
POrg. can procure the material for only specific plant ssigned with specific POrg..
Hope this piece of information will help you to resolve your issue.please let me know if you want any more clarification.

HR Master Data conversion

Hi all,
Did anyone tried the program RPUSTD00 to upload HR master data into SAP HR?
Are all the fields present in the HRDATASET mandatory to create the action ?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
you have to make sure that the action used by the report is correct customized in your System.
Also you have to make sure that the data in in the file is coresponding to your customizing for the infotyps for example the title in IT0002 or Pay Scale Group in IT0008.

How to master data conversion in ABAP/4 programming

I only know there is no special syntax to data conversion and put an "=" between destination data object and source object.
But I don't know whether the conversion is legal or not.
Who can help me?

For conversions between structured fields or a structured field and a singlefield , flat structures were previously treated like C fileds, With the implementation of Unicode this approach has become too error prone, since it is not clear if programs can be executed with platform-independent semantics.

Authorization for Master Data (Customer / Vendor)

Dear All,
I've requirement in Master Data Transaction display (XD03 / XK03), to control the dispaly of data for certain fields based on Authorization. As an example like below...
User X1 to see F1 & F2 data in above master transaction display data
User X2 to see F1 field, but F2 field not authorized...should be displayed as XXX (u2018XXXu2019 u2013 means data exists in database); if data doesn't exits for field F2...then I would like to display as YYY)
Can you please share your thoughts / ideas to implement the above requirement.
Regds,
Ramki.

SAP standard does not provice such function in XD03/XK03.
Yes, you can achieve this function using custom ABAP code but implementing in sap-standard transaction would be challanging because of the restriction on modifying sap-standard code and not having exits at right place where you would need to implement this.

Pawan.

Change master data setting - Vendor reconciliation account

Is it possible to change the configuration of a G/L account currently setup as a vendor reconciliation account (that has a balance) to a regular a balance sheet sheet account?
If yes, what actions do I need to do?
Are there any risks in doing this?
Can I perform a similiar change for a G/L account currently setup as a regular balance sheet account that I instead want to use as a vendor reconciliation account?
Thank you in advance!
Best regards Susan

Hello,
Answers to your questions:
Question:
It is possible to change a reconciliation account into a balance sheet account but the current items in the reconciliation account should be manually moved to another account
Answer:
If there is a single line item posted(whether the balance is zero or not), it WILL NOT allow you change the reconciliation account in the GL master record.
Question:
-New postings will however be posted to the new reconciliation account set up in the vendor master
Answer:
If you want to update a new reconciliation in vendor master, then create a fresh GL Account as reconciliation type for Vendor and update the vendor master with new GL Reconciliation Account. When you have done the new postings, new entries will flow to new Reconciliation Account, but the old entries will remain be there in the old reconciliation GL Account. To move the old reconciliation entries to new reconciliation entries executed F.5D (Balance Sheet Adjustment). Please read the documentation available on transaction code F.5D
Question:
-What inconsistency in data are you referring to below? - No Inconsistency
-What reports would these differences appear in? - No differences
-Is there any risk of making a balance sheet account into a vendor reconciliation account (when baalnces exist)? - Vendor Reconciliation Account is a Balance Sheet Account only. This is a liability account in your Trail Balance.
Hope this clarifies your doubts.
Regards,
Ravi

Master Data (customer, vendor & material) extraction from ECC6 to BI

I am looking to extract data from the R/3 KNMT table (VD53 txn u2013 Customer-Material Info Record) for BW reporting. Does anyone know if Standard Business Content exists to do so, and where I can find it?
Thanks!
Mark

There is no standard content DataSource for the KNMT (Customer-Material Info Record Data Table) table. You will have to create a generic DataSource for this table. You can create a generic delta, based on KNMT-ERDAT, for this generic DataSource.

MDM-XI-ECC for Master data like Vendor and customer

If there are some changes like addition or deletion of some fields in customer or vendor, then it is not possible to use the standard pre-delivered content which SAP has provided.
So in that case, how can we handle that in XI?
For example DEBMDM or CREMDM?
The predefined content splits this into two idocs CREMAS & ADRMAS and serialises and then sends to ECC.
So when there is customization of Idocs, how can we handle it?
Any clues please?
Thanks
Kiran

For various reasons I would recommend not using the predefined content. Mainly for the exact scenario in which you describe. If you have to add custom fields, then you can't use the predelivered content, however you can copy the predelivered content and modify it. The MDM content for XI uses XSLT mappings, so if you are familiar with XLST then you can work with those, however I prefer to generate a graphical mapping, because it only takes a few seconds anyway. You simply have your source message be the CREMDM (or DEBMDM) format, and the target is CREMAS and ADRMAS. You simply select the top node of CREMDM and do a 1:1 mapping to CREMAS, then map the ADRC segment of CREMDM to the ADRMAS IDoc. If you use the graphical tool then you can modify your map easier if you need to add or remove fields. For example, if you want to do a IDoc reduction, then you can perform the IDoc reduction in ECC, and then swap that message type out with the one in your graphical map. Or if you want to add fields you can perform an IDoc extension in ECC, and then swap that message type out in XI. It's much easier to make these changes when you've built a graphical map.
