Master data tables with unwanted records from transaction data upload

Hi Friends,
I have a master data table for infoobject 'C' with compounding characteristics 'A' & 'B'. I upload this master data with values given below:
 A, B, C, Short text, Long text
 P, 10, BBB, Apple, Big Apples
 Q, 20 , XYZ , Tomatoes , Red Tomatoes
When I load data into ODS from a source system, I may not necessarily have data for all these 3 fields in these transaction record. Example:
 A, B, C, D, E
 P -1 FFF 20 30
 Q 10 GGG 10 40
 The problem is when I upload the above transaction data, it populates the master data table too with these two new records 1 -1 FFF and 2 10 GGG, which I would like to avoid.
 Is there any way?
 Will assign full points to anyone who helps me here.
 Thanks,
 JB

Hi JB,
If you want to load transactional data and still want to prevent the population of the master data table, I don't think it is possible, as it is goes aginst the data consistency in the warehouse.
However, if you can afford not to load transactional data for such cases, you can activate referential integrity check for the infoobject C. Then neither transactional data nor masterdata enter the datawarehouse until you maintain masterdata yourself for the infoobject C.
hope this helps.

Select max date from a table with multiple records

I need help writing an SQL to select max date from a table with multiple records.
Here's the scenario. There are multiple SA_IDs repeated with various EFFDT (dates). I want to retrieve the most recent effective date so that the SA_ID is unique. Looks simple, but I can't figure this out. Please help.
SA_ID CHAR_TYPE_CD EFFDT CHAR_VAL
0000651005 BASE 15-AUG-07 YES
0000651005 BASE 13-NOV-09 NO
0010973671 BASE 20-MAR-08 YES
0010973671 BASE 18-JUN-10 NO

Hi,
Welcome to the forum!
Whenever you have a question, post a little sample data in a form that people can use to re-create the problem and test their ideas.
For example:
CREATE TABLE     table_x
(     sa_id          NUMBER (10)
,     char_type     VARCHAR2 (10)
,     effdt          DATE
,     char_val     VARCHAR2 (10)
INSERT INTO table_x (sa_id, char_type, effdt,                          char_val)
     VALUES     (0000651005, 'BASE',    TO_DATE ('15-AUG-2007', 'DD-MON-YYYY'), 'YES');
INSERT INTO table_x (sa_id, char_type, effdt,                          char_val)
     VALUES     (0000651005, 'BASE',    TO_DATE ('13-NOV-2009', 'DD-MON-YYYY'), 'NO');
INSERT INTO table_x (sa_id, char_type, effdt,                          char_val)
     VALUES     (0010973671, 'BASE',    TO_DATE ('20-MAR-2008', 'DD-MON-YYYY'), 'YES');
INSERT INTO table_x (sa_id, char_type, effdt,                          char_val)
     VALUES     (0010973671, 'BASE',    TO_DATE ('18-JUN-2010', 'DD-MON-YYYY'), 'NO');
COMMIT;Also, post the results that you want from that data. I'm not certain, but I think you want these results:
`    SA_ID LAST_EFFD
    651005 13-NOV-09
10973671 18-JUN-10That is, the latest effdt for each distinct sa_id.
Here's how to get those results:
SELECT    sa_id
,         MAX (effdt)    AS last_effdt
FROM      table_x
GROUP BY sa_id
;

How to spool in excel sheet of table with 1561828 records

Raman wrote:

A name is just a name. There are industry standards on certain names indicating certain file formats, but the name doesn't make it that format.

FI Master data upload sequence

Experts,
Please excuse me if my post sounds vague. I am a Technical Consultant working off-site independently. I couldn't think of a better forum to get functional advice.
Please look at the below list of FI Master data upload objects, and suggest:
a. the recommended sequence in which the objects are to be uploaded
b. points to consider/tips for uploading/recommendations (LSMW/BUS*/BAPIs, etc)
FI Objects:
1. Cost Centers
2. Profit Centers
3. GL Accounts- COA,CC
4. Fixed Assets
5. Bank Data
6. Cost Elements
7. Activity Groups
8. Activity Types
9. Activity Prices
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
we have to upload first the Master such as G/l Accounts , Primary Cost Elements & Secondary cost elements.then upload the open items , then p/l balances, then B/S balances , finally asset master with balances
Pre-Check LSMW: To-Do-List Before Using the Tool
The LSM Workbench is a tool that supports the transfer of data from non-SAP systems to R/3. Basic functionality of the LSM Workbench:
1. Import old data from spreadsheet tables or sequential files.
2. Convert the data from source format into target format.
3. Import the data into R/3.
Before using the LSM Workbench, you need a concept for data migration. In particular, note the following items:
· Make sure that R/3 customizing is complete.
· Analyze the data existing in the legacy system to determine which data will be needed in the future (also from a business-operational point of view).
· Consider whether usage of the tool makes sense with regard to the data volumes to be transferred. In case of very small data quantities, it may be easier to carry out the transfer manually. With very large data volumes, however, batch input technology may lead to excessively long runtimes. Rough estimate for the required time: 10000 records per hour; this value, however, may vary strongly depending on the hardware.
· Identify the transaction(s) in R/3 you want to use for bringing the data into the SAP System. Here, it may also be relevant whether the data is required for statistical (evaluation) purposes or for further processing in the system.
· Test the relevant transaction in R/3 manually with test data from the old system and make sure that all required fields are filled. There may be required fields that do not correspond to any data window in the legacy system. In such a case, assigning a fixed value or defining the field as optional for data transfer may be appropriate.
· Check the interfaces provided by the application. Is there a batch input program and an IDoc (for example)? Which method should be used in your project?
· Develop a mapping plan in written form: Assign the legacy system fields to the R/3 fields.
· Determine the form (e.g. via u201EMOVEu201C or assigned according to a rule) in which the legacy system data shall be transferred to the SAP System.
· If applicable, define the allocation rules (LSM-internal name: u201Etranslation rulesu201C).
· Define the way for extracting the data from the legacy system. (Note: LSMW does not extract data.)
· Describe the form in which the old data are available: Will the host or the spreadsheet interface of the LSMW have to be used?
· If only a part of your legacy system will be replaced by R/3, define the functionalities to be provided by the SAP System and those to be provided by the legacy system. If required, create a concept of the data flows and interface architecture.
These questions can only be answered individually for every customer; as a matter of course, this should be done before the tool is used!

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,
Reward points if helpful,

Master data Uploading using QTP

Can any one explain detail about QTP master data uploading.If possible send me the materials abt QTP uploding.

Hi
You won't get ready made template.
You have to prepare the layout according to your requirements.
First check it with the business requirements, and make note of the details and find the relevant fields in the relevant tables of the master data.
Prepare the layout as below:
Say your doing for the Chart of accounts load - Table is SKA1 - take the important fields technical name, character type and length of the field. Enter the data and save it in the desired format.

Can you please let me know if LSMW is used only for master data upload or we can also use it for transaction data ?

Hi Christino.
I have come across a standard SDN thread which deals with the uploading master data, refer it:
[SDN Reference for uploading master data using LSMW|how can we upload master data by using LSMW;
[SDN reference for which uploading is preferred (Master data or Transaction data)|Which one is better for uploading data LSMW or ECATT ?;

Master data uploading

Hi friends,
1.Please send me the prerequisites for HR Master Data Uploading?
2.Also tell me is it mandatory to create the jobs and positions, on OM?, If no what is the option?
since we have to use the imp. Infotype Org Assignt 0001>position field. We have 133 positions and jobs. how to do it?
Please reply.
Thanks,
milinds

Hi Milind,
1.Please send me the prerequisites for HR Master Data Uploading?
>>You need to first understand what all data need to be uploaded i.e. which all infotype you will be maintaining for the master data.
Then the second step is to identifying the fields for different infotypes, so while doing this you can create the template for each infotype. Along with this you also need to understand the source data means will it get directly uploaded or do any translation logic is required.
After this you can create LSMW's or BDC program.
2.Also tell me is it mandatory to create the jobs and positions, on OM?, If no what is the option?
since we have to use the imp. Infotype Org Assignt 0001>position field. We have 133 positions and jobs. how to do it?
>>If you want authoraizations and workflows for approvals. also if FI is integrated then its always best to have positions, organizational units, cost centers in place and the rellevant relationships between the objects.
You can create BDC using TCODE PP02 for creating positions, Jobs and their relationships.

Function module Vs BDC for master data upload

Hi ,
Please advice we should use the following function modules for master data upload or we should go for BDC.
MP_RFC_SINGLE_CREATE
MP_RFC_INACT_CHANGE
MPLAN_CREATE
MPLAN_CHANGE
MPLAN_SET_DELETION_INDICATOR
ASSET_MASTERRECORD_MAINTENANCE
MPLAN_ITEM_CREATE
MPLAN_ITEM_CHANGE
GL_ACCT_MASTER_SAVE
GL_ACCT_MASTER_SAVE
GL_ACCT_MASTER_SAVE
Actually, we have already used these function modules in our upload program, but we are not sure if these function modules will create any data inconsistency.
Please let me know, if we should continue using the FMs, or there is any risk using the FMs and we should replace them by BDC.
Thanks in advance.

HI Vikram,
Better to serch for the BAPI for uploading the master data.Becuase we have problems with BDC and FM's.
If you use FM's it does n't contain all the fields which you want.IF you go for BDC this is not maintainable for future releaseas.IF you upgrade then screen may change.
IF don' have any BAPI then better go for BDC.
Thanks
