Master data maintanance in ECC6.0

Hi,

Yugandhar

Hi Yugandhar,
Looking at the importance of the master data, SAP MDM is specially introduced by SAP for managing the Master Data extensively. It focusses of various issues related with master data such as Duplication, Incorrect data, Missing data, No standard of Data, No Governance with a single tool - SAP-MDM.
This tool focusses not on transactions but on complete aspects so as to how to keep the master data in an organization clean. It provides a solution to all the listed issues above and many more. We might have a complex landscape where in many SAP-non SAP systems might be integrated and might be following their own standards, etc. Hence, this tool will act as a central hub of master data and provide a single version of truth to all the systems so that we have clean, complete and only 1 version of data.
SAP ECC also can maintain the Master data but it might not be able to handle various issues related to master data efficiently. SAP-MDM has an in-built Matching capability which helps up identify the duplicates. Also there is an easy provision of MDM workflows, which helps in maintaining proper authorizations and helps in Governance.
I would advice you to go through these links to know the features and use of SAP-MDM in a better way.

SIgnificance of Bank Number(BNKLZ) field in Master data

Hi,
I am working on Bank Master data setup in ECC6 and have a question regarding the significance of Bank Number(BNKLZ) field.
In IMG settings -> General Settings->Set Countries->Set country specific checks, if Bank Key = 1 i,e Bank Number then in T-code FI01 for Bank Master, the Bank Number field is display only and is automatically copied from Bank Key value.
However if Bank Key = 4 in config, the Bank Number field becomes open for input in FI01.
My question is, what is the significance of Bank Number visa viz Bank Key, in Master data - Bank, Vendor (payment transactions) and Customer etc.
If in the second option ie, Bank Key = 4, I leave the Bank Number blank while creating Bank Master data, will it affect any other processes related to Payment Process etc?
SAP allows me to leave all of the control data Blank while creating the Bank Key. Will this not create problems for Vendor or Customer Payment processing etc?
What is the significance of the Control Data section on FI01 while creating a Bank Key?

Hi,
bank key (BANKL) is an identification of the bank defined by the user, bank number (BNKLZ) is used to dientify the bank in payment order file, so this should be oficial code of the bank.
Example: Each bank in Germany is identified by BLZ - that's the bank number. Deutsche Bank in Berlin has BLZ 10070000.
So, I can use key 1 in country specific checks customizing and have bank key same as bank number, i.e. 10070000. This helps me to enter bank data into master records, because BLZ is always stated next to bank account number on the invoice.
Or I can use key 4, create the bank with bank key DEUT_BERLIN and enter bank number 10070000. My payment order will be correct, but in vendor master date in the bank key column will be DEUT_BERLIN.
My recommendation is to use key 1 and keep bank key same as bank number.

Master data in ECC6 IDES system

hi
i am planning to perform a POC with mdm 5.5 by accessing the data available in ECC6 IDES . here my doubt is , does (ECC) IDES contains any such huge master data with which we can feel like cleaning real master data of any organisation
thanks in advance
akhil

Hi Akhil,
does (ECC) IDES contains any such huge master data with which we can feel like cleaning real master data of any organisation ?
This is not possible. Because here in this case, you are using only one system. So there is no need for cleansing.
Cleansing will come into picture when you are using more than one system.
eg: SAP and Non SAP System integration with MDM
or Two different SAP Systems integration with MDM.
I think for your case , you can use one more system apart from your ECC6.( Say you can use ECC5 system also)
Then try same master data from diff systems into MDM and consolidate.

Nikhil

Demo - Extraction of Customer Master Data from SAP R/3 ECC6 to MDM5.5

Hello,
I am new to MDM . Would appreciate if someone can give a solution to the below request.
We are doing a demo project in our Company to extract all the master data related to SALES cycle. We are doing an extraction of Customer Master Data. Currently we have the unlicensed version of MDM and very soon we will get the licensed version.
We have the Customer Master Repository created in MDM Console. The IDOC type we are using is DEBMDM05.
Is there a easy way to map the fields of IDOC to the MDM Repository. Right now we are doing a manual process of comparing the IDOC fields and MDM Repo in an excel but this is tedious and time consuming.
Can anyone suggest an easier way to identify so that we know which fields match correctly.
Thanks
Leena

Hi Leena,
First of all you have 2 options to generate IDOCs from SAP R/3 system
1.mdmgx>one IDoc per record
2.mdm_clnt_extr>for generating single IDoc having entire set of records.
Secondly,if you want to get the data mapped automatically,you should use standard maps provided by SAP(Business Content).
If at all you have created new fields then you should manually map those fields.
If any other queries pl ask
Reward points if found useful

Adding new attribute to Master data - Not present in ECC

Hi,
We want to add a new field in the master data object 0plant. the new field is not present in the R/3 side. So we are planning to maintain it manually.
Is it feasible? Can someone explain how to approach the situation?
Since it is not going to come in Process chain or any of the mappings below InfoObject will the process chains work properly?
Regards

Hi
if you cant impliment any logic you cam maintani it mannually.
First add attribute to master data object and activate.
Do master data load if required.
Then right click on materdata addtribute and manage -> content tab -> Content
display complete data and you can maintain attribute values individually for all ercords one by one (will be pain even for 100 records).
another alternative is of doing file upload for this attribute.

How to use LSMW on CRM for bulk master data creation?

Hello Experts,
I need your help to able to use LSMW on CRM for bulk master data creation. Below is described my detailed requirement; -
We have CRM 2007 integrated with SAP ISU (ECC6.0). As per business process all Business Master Data (BP details, Business Agreement details etc) and Technical Master Data (Connection Object, PoD etc.) is created in CRM and then it is replicated in ISU. We are going to start Assembly Test soon. Now we need to have all master data in place. Tool we want to use is LSMW.
Now can you help me right from scratch on how to use LSMW for bulk master data creation in CRM?
Please give me documents / links etc that is relevant.
Regards,
Rohit

Hi,
I have looked into your query.
These are some information which might be useful to you.
What is LSMW?
Legacy System Migration Workbench or LSMW is SAP standard program that can be used to easily load / change master data or transactions in SAP without any programming at all. It can be used to upload data at cutover, such as: open orders, contracts, materials, vendors, stock on hand. It can also be used in a production system to make changes to existing data. Very limited authorization checks are available on the transaction, so the use of it must be very well controlled.
One input file can be used to create all the views of the material master. For all the material types. Even if different views and fields are used for the different materials.
Steps to take
1. Create text file with data to be loaded
2. Set up and run LSMW
The following link will provide good information on LSMW Idoc method:

Creation of Tech Master data with CRM IC Web Client

Hi Experts,
I have a query regarding creation of Technical master data via CRM IC Web client ( CRM7.0 & ECC6 for ISU)
1) If we are using CRM IC web Client then , how the creation of Technical Master Data is triggered from web client ?
2) Where the technical master data created first ISU or CRM ?
If anyone has the info on this please let me know.
regards,
Sagar

Hi Sagar Arvind Phirke,
1) You need to configure CRM Middleware to exchange data between CRM and IS-U;
2) Data is created first in CRM, then it's replicated to IS-U.
Check this helpful documentation: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm70/helpdata/en/46/66235fc77c453a8696f76c66e8014c/frameset.htm

Synchonize cusotmer master data from SAP R/3 to CRM

Dear Sir,
My SAP R/3 is ECC6 , but my crm is CRM5.0
I have the question that I would like to synchonizat data ( field in Sales Area data : Sales district, Sales Office , Sales group, customer group ) in R/3 and link to CRM ?
Where can i find these fields in CRM?? and where can I find the mark for delete for customer master data field in CRm Please kindly advise
THank you and best regards,
Vimol

Hi Vimol.
If the CRM and ECC are all connected (like RFC's/logical systems/...) for synchronizing the data you need to do the initial loads. SAP has different objects for different data loads. Please follow B09_BB_ConfigGuide_EN_US(CRM Replication) for the same.
Hope this helps,

Cannot Enter more than 1000 partners in Customer master data(Partner Funct)

Dear Friends,
In Customer Master Data -> Sales Area Data -> Partner Functions-> I can able to enter 1000 partners.
Now When I am trying to enter more than 1000 partners, system is not allowing me(no lines are available to enter partner)
According to my requirement I have to enter another 500 partners(business requirement)
Please suggest me how can I able to enter more than 1000 partner in customer master.
Quick reply will be appreciated and rewarded.
Thank you

Hello,
It is very clear that, unless you change the Data element for KNVP-PARZA, the system will not allow you to maintain morethan 999 partner functions for a cusotmer master.
This is very exceptional case and I handled the situation in my project with the Duplication of customer master data for Sold to party and maintained the remaining partner functions over there.
Please check with your Business/ Architect team whether they allow this. As an alternative, they have to go with duplication of sold to party for the maintanance of additional ship to parties.
OR
Should go for char length changes for data element KNVP-PARZA (NOT RECOMENDED).
Hope it helps. Let me know if not.
Thanks,
Ram.

PA30, attaching documents through the employee personal master dat

Dear freinds,
We are attaching documents through the employee personal master data
PA30, Our client wants to know where exactly these attachments are
getting saved; Our SAP environment is ECC6.0 on AIX 5.3. so i exactly would like to know what is the exact path where these documents are getting saved on AIX machine.
I would appreciate if you can tell us where exactly these documents are
getting saved at OS level, any particular file system you think,
because I probed in but couldnu2019t find where exactly there are on the
OS..
Regards
ayush

hello,
SAP generally recommends that you store employee documents with a bar code. You can find the documentation to 'Storage Within Personnel Administration' using the following path:
=> Help => SAP Library => Human Resources => Personnel Management (PA)=> Personnel Administration (PA-PA) => Storage Within Personnel Administration (PA-PA)
In the SAP Standard it is not possible to tie original documents to specific personnel numbers in the PA30 transaction. The only exceptions are two specific scenarios where you can tie original documents in the PA30 transaction:
1. late storing with bar code
2. late storing without bar code
During both scenarios you start out in the Trx PA30. If the bar code entry is deactivated the actual key data will have to be transferred to the document in any case, otherwise you will be asked to enter a barcode again. Therefore the document would be transferred to the scanning location and then assigned to a specific business object.
Unfortunately it is NOT possible to upload a document directly into archive in the PA30 any other way.
Let me emphasize once more that PA30 can not be used for storing infotype specific documents. Via the special scenarios mentioned already by my colleague you are able to assign documents to the specific infotypes but the storing has to be completed outside of PA30.
Using the option Extras -> Assign facsimile in PA30 will be interpreted by the system as start for late scanning with barcode thus the error message.
Hope this help

Using a BPF to Maintain Master Data - BPC 10

Hi all,
I have a business requirement for Master Data to be added very quickly. An example would be a new 'Project' to be added as master data in to the Project dimension, so that a resource (employee) can be book time against it.
We have thought of two options;
1. Create dummy projects and use the BPC Comments functionality to note the project details. This will be quick but quite dirty. There will be no link to a customer which could mess up reporting.
2. Allow users (there are few, and they are Expert) to maintan the Master Data themselves via the BPC 10.0 Admin console or excel client if possible(?) One way that has been suggested is using a Business Process Flow (BPF), that will be left incomplete.
Does anyone have any experience in doing this? Or advice they could share?
Project data is scheduled to be upladed from SAP ECC in to BW, then BW in to BPC nightly. We have a requirement to plan at shorter notice than this and as such this won't work.
Thanks in advance for anyone that can help!
