Master data reporting in SAP BW

Hi everybody,
we are using BW for reporting on master data. The concerned objects are all customer developments. We are experiencing problems concerning design questions and the print layout of the queries:
Our consultant advised us to use info objects for the implementation of master data in BW and to build the info objects just as the datasources in the source system, meaning: 1 table in the source system = 1 info object in BW. What are your experiences on that?
Second issue is, we have several long text informations. With the limitation of infoobjects to max. 60 digits, we are forced to split the contents into several infoobjects.
How do you handle long text informations in BW? (We need a printable report.)
Thank you for your suggestions, kind regards, Kathrin!

Hi Kathrin,
It's OK to build one datasource on one table in the source system and load it into one infoobject. The main thing here that if you need to link these IOs that you load appropriate attributes into IOs to be linked.
Not knowing details it's hard to tell if this approach is the best.
About 60 symbols limitations you can see these refs:

  • Material Master Data Reporting with SAP BW?

    Hello,
    I have a question regarding the use of a SAP BW System. Do you guys think SAP BW is a appropriate System for modelling and analysing Queries for the Material master data of the R/3 System.
    Focus:          
    Material master data
    Bill of Material
    Material Classification System
    Iu2019m not sure if Infocubes are the right way to report such kind of requirement. I mean Infocubes always requires key figures and dates but the material master data are mainly characteristics. Can someone give me some advice?
    Thanks & Greetings

    Hi,
    I'd say yes. You can aalo use InfoObejct and DSO (like Tables) as well as InfoSets (Join ability).
    Masteer Data and BoM shouldn't be a problem.
    Material Classification System is always a bit tricky. Standard Class extractors are not able to extract multiple classifcations. There will be need of some Programming due to the poor standard solution.
    I suppose some 10 - 15 days till it's finished an productive.

  • Withholding tax master data report changes in SAP FI

    Hi All,
    In our client according to new audit requirements improvements have to be done for the withholding tax report. According to the the requirements changes only functionality has to be added to the main selection screen of the withholding tax master data report.
    Changes only functionality has to be added to the selection screen of the report, the report has to display changes made to the tax master data with in a range of period, this was achieved easily by making program changes. Only issue now is when we do it in development client its showing us properly but when we do it in production it is not working because when ever we do any configuration changes we do it in the development client and transport it to production client so the changes done to any configuration with respect to WHT are not recorded in the production environment as they are transported from development client.
    So, we are unable to achieve this in production client, please help me out with this issue.
    Tthanks in advance

  • Best Practice for Master Data Reporting

    Dear SAP-Experts,
    We face a challenge at the moment and we are still trying to find the right approach to it:
    Business requirement is to analyze SAP Material-related Master Data with the BEx Analyzer (Master Data Reporting)
    Questions they want to answer here are for example:
    - How many active Materials/SKUs do we have?
    - Which country/Sales Org has adopted certain Materials?
    - How many Series do we have?
    - How many SKUs below to a specific season
    - How many SKUs are in a certain product lifecycle
    - etc.
    The challenge is, that the Master Data is stored in tables with different keys in the R/3.
    The keys in these tables are on various levels (a selection below):
    - Material
    - Material / Sales Org / Distribution Channel
    - Material / Grid Value
    - Material / Grid Value / Sales Org / Distribution Channel
    - Material / Grid Value / Sales Org / Distribution Channel / Season
    - Material / Plant
    - Material / Plant / Category
    - Material / Sales Org / Category
    etc.
    So even though the information is available on different detail  levels, the business requirement is to have one query/report that combines all the information. We are currently struggeling a bit on deciding, what would be the best approach for this requirement. Did anyone face such a requirement before - and what would be the best practice. We already tried to find any information online, but it seems Master data reporting is not very well documented. Thanks a lot for your valuable contribution to this discussion.
    Best regards

    Pass a reference to the parent into the modal popup. Then you
    can reference anything in the parent scope.
    I haven't done this i 2.0 yet so I can't give you code. I'll
    post if I do.
    Oh, also, you can reference the parent using parentDocument.
    So in the popup you could do:
    parentDocument.myPublicVariable = "whatever";

    Hello Michelle,
    First of all, MDM Admin UI and SRM-MDM Search UI both are in same sca file (SRMMDMCAT20SP03P05.sca) and there is another sca file with API and MDM Connector (MDMJAVAAPI06_2.sca).
    Remember that files name might be change as per the business content version.
    So there are two file which you need to deploy. You can deploy these two file on any Web Application Server (WAS 7.0 and Above) using Software Deployment Manager (SDM) of SAP NW AS J2EE installation.
    For further information about these files, you can refer the SAP Note- 1057316 -- SRM-MDM Catalog 2.0 - Installation & Configuration.
    For checking the successful deployment of these SCA files, you can check with the mentioned below URL:
    http://ServerName:PortNo/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/tcmdmsrmcat~uisearch/MDM_SRM_UI_App
    go to the above link, try to connect with the MDM Server which you have installed. After connecting the MDM Server, Choose your SRM-MDM Catalog repository and try to connect with the user as "Master" with blank pwd. If you are able to login in the repository, it means you have successfully deployed the correct sca files.
    For further details regarding this scenario, you can refer my answer in below thread:

    When I run the info package, the info package remains in yellow state until it times out. Please let me know in case i am missing anything, Please let me know if there is any other process for master data extraction similar to transaction data extraction.

    Hi All,
    i did the below and afte clicking execute in the Simple job, it takes me back to the Monitor Infopackage screen.

  • Master Data Reporting........data flow model

    I will be working on Master Data reporting. I heard that this can be done by loading data from a Datasource into an InfoObject. I would like to see a data model for this scenario. Can anyone help me on this?

    Hi:
    If you want to be more specific.
    Open the InfoObject in change mode.
    Go to Tab - Master Data/Texts
    Here, if you go down, you will see a box for "InfoArea". Open this box and pick an InfoArea.
    THis will do2 things.
    1) It will allow you to create reports in the InfoObject.
    2) It will allow you to Update the Master Data using any InfoSOurce.

  • Basic question on Master data reporting on ODS

    Hello All,
    Recently I had a requirement, where they need to see the master data report ( with its attributes and attributes of attributes (transitive attribute)). Hence I loaded the master data on a ODS, to turn on the Navigational attributes.........
    For e.g.:  Requirement:
    Master data :                       0EQUIPMENT
    ATTRIBUTE:                        0SHIP_TO
    ATTRIBUTE of ATTRIBUTE:  0SHIP_TO_REGION
    Question: The report is working fine...... but I have a doubt whether the report (built on the ODS with no Key figures) will populate the master data for which there is no Key figures are maintained in ECC???
    Please let me know your ideas and views.......

    Hi........
    I think it will be better if u use Infoobject to store master data......here also u can turn attributes to Navigational attribute....u can activate that  infoobject as dataprovider and do the Reporting as you do it now for the ods object. .........The master data approach will additionally give you the possibility to add navigational attributes to fulfil more reporting requirements..........In RSA1.............Infoprovider >> Right click >> Insert that Infoobject as Infoprovider............

  • Master data upload into SAP system

    Hello,
    I want to know if there is any standard method to upload material master, customer master, vendor master and finance master data into SAP system.
    I am not referring to LSMW's, BDC's and using BAPI's. I am aware of standard programs like RMDATIND for material master upload, RFBIDE00 for customer master upload and RFBIKR00 for vendor master upload. But these are using direct input method and SAP recommends this only for testing purpose. I am not sure if this could be really used in actual live scenarios.
    From some other posts in the forum, I came to know about some transactions like BDLR, SXDB and BMVO. Can some one tell me how to use these T.Codes?
    If some one has any detailed documentation on these T.codes or in general standard master data upload techniques please send it to [email protected]
    Thanks in advance,
    CMV

    Hi,
    Define the following attributes, using the F4 input help and F1 field help:
    Report
    Name of a registered program for this program type
    Variant
    You can only specify a variant with programs that are started directly.
    With direct input, data from the data transfer file undergoes the same checks as with the online transaction and is then transferred directly into the SAP System. The database is updated directly with the transferred data.
    For the documentation of other transactions please refer the correponding program documentation..which is more helpful,

    Hi Dmitriy,
    1.
    These tables are maintained by the report AI_SC_GET_SAP_CUSTOMER_NUMBERS.
    Also, the report uses the S user is stored in the RFC SAP-OSS to determine all the SAP customer numbers that you support.
    So, an S user from the Service Provider, with a password that has authorization to
    display all customer information for the VAR customer numbers, must be available in the
    RFC SAP-OSS.
    For further information you can check note 1151450.
    2.
    To run the report AI_SC_REFRESH_READ_ONLY_DATA, you should be able to perform the above activitie first and flag customer numbers or installations for generating the data.

  • Master Data transfer from SAP R/3 to SAP GTS

    HI,
    Master data like customer master  is transferred  fro R/3 to GTS.  Any customer master in R/3 has many fields like company code, sales area, shipping conditions etc.
    Shipping conditions and other fields are not defined in GTS. So how come  when the customer master which is copied into SAP GTS is not  giving any error since certain fields like shipping conditions are not there in GTS. I mean there are certain validation in R/3 for a customer . So how come these validations are being done in SAP GTS ??
    regards

    Customer/vendor the fields which is passed to GTS from ECC can be found in - (/SAPSLL/MENU_LEGAL - SAP Compliance Management (SPL Screening) - Logistics (Simulation of SPL - Check general address). Here you can see all the details captured for Business Partner in GTS. You can also see the entire field range at (/nbp)
    When you transfer a Customer master record to GTS, in GTS an internal BP number is created to map the stated fields based on number range logic etc as per requirement. The BP's are created in GTS as per the partner role in GTS and also can be retrived using partner role. At document level the validations happen w.r.t to partner functions mapped and created as per the feeder system.

  • Master data report on 0MATERIAL

    Hi Guys,
    I am trying to create a report which is purely based on material master data IO ( 0MATERIAL).
    There are several navigation attributes for 0MATERIAL. In Report i am using the following.
    'Material Category'
    'Assortment Grade'
    'Active Flag'
    Material Category will be in 'Rows' section of the Query Designer.
    'Assortment Grade' and 'Active Flag' will be in 'Columns' section of the Query Designer.
    There are only 4 types of assortment grades in BI. Eg: 1 ,2 ,3 ,4
    There are only 2 values for Active Flag  IO ,  like 'Active' (A) or 'Inactive' (I). For ever Assortment Grade there will be either active material or inactive material status maintained in Active Flag.
    So Report output should look like
    ++++++++++++Assort. Grade |--1|2|3|4--|
    +++++++++++++Active Flag | Active | Inactive|| Active | Inactive|| Active | Inactive|| Active | Inactive|
    CATEGORY1 +++++++++++++  2        |   1 
    CATEGORY2  ++++++++++++   3       |    2
    Active or Inactive columns should show the count of the materials which falls in to those categories. 
    could any one please tell me how can i achive this.
    Please note that i 've already marked this IO as info provider.
    any ideas are welcomed here.
    Thanks in advance,
    POPS

    Hi POPS,
    Create a structure in the column.
    Create a new selection in your column structure, In the new selection insert characteric Assortment grade.
    In properties (calculate tab),calculate single value as 'COUNTER for all detailed values'.
    Insert a new slection and in the selection choose characteristic Active flag and in calvulate tab , for field calculate single values as choose 'COUNTER for all detailed values '.
    Now run the report and check.

    Sunmit.
