MDM for Managing Master data for PP & QM Modules

We have studied the various offerings of SAP MDM for Materials, Suppliers, Financials
These are definitely areas where we would like to automate using MDM and thereby improve Quality, Turn around Time and eliminate errors, redundancy etc.
In these areas we have also succeeded to a some extent in controlling the maintenance process by way of centralizing and building checks and controls in the Configuration of different Modules.
The main pain areas in terms of Master data have been in PP and QM Modules
PP- Maintenance of BoM and Recipe - which is based on process package finalized by R&D Section.
R&D scientists are not so familiar with SAP and SAP Settings
Process Package is usually a simple document- defining specific quantities of the different components required to produce a Specific quantity of a Product and also descibles the procedure of the entire production process, but when it translates into a Recipe and Bom- different tables in SAP come into play.
Eventually the BoMs and Recipes are created by manual input of information from the R&D Process Package
Similarly the QM master data - Inspection Plan in SAP - is based on Specification finalized by the Quality wing of R&D
R&D scientists are not so familiar with SAP and SAP Settings
Specification is usually a simple document defining the different tests to be performed for inspecting a material and the expected range in which the results should fall in order for the material to be accepted- but when it translates into a Recipe and Bom- different tables in SAP come into play.
Eventually the Specifications are created by manual input of information from the R&D Process Package
There is no direct relation between the original R&D Document and the SAP Master data- Verification is a laborious manual process.
We are wondering whether SAP MDM would have the scope to cover these two areas

Hi Hari,
If I understand correctly,you are doing a feasibility study about and trying to find out if standard offering in SAP MDM supports your requirement of linking the master data and R&D documents.
If thats the case I guess you can design a solution based on your business requirement.For this you can either create a custom repository or extend the currently offered standard business content.You can link the documents to the master data,also store these as pdf/image/links etc.
Thanks,
Ravi

Message Type for Material Master Data Changes

Hi all
I'm managing Message Types for Material Master Data extraction from R\3 system to BW system, in order to load on BW only the changes done to some fields of MARA table that are delta relevant.
Now from R/3 BD50 Transaction I can see that there is a message type that refer to changes done on MARA fields: RS0044.
I would like to replace this message type with another one (RS0020) in order to align different systems.
Now changes to material master data in R/3 system are recorder with both message types but only those with RS0044 message type are processed and loaded into BW system.
So I would like to know:
1. How is the message type related to the DataSource 0material?
2. is it possible to replace a message type for BW?
3. if yes, how can I do it?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Oscar!
At the moment I'm using Delta queue of 0MATERIAL. I know that in the queue there are all the new and changed records.
But I would like to be able not to load all the changed records, but only those that refer to some fields of MARA table.
E.g. if the gross weight of a material is modified I don't want to load this change on BW with Delta loading .
I've seen that from R/3 Transaction BD52 you can set only delta relevant fields referred to a specific message type and to delete the other fields.
As I'm able to do this directly in the Development system and Test System, I haven't got the authorization of doing it in the Production system.
That's why I need to include this setting in a CR and then ask to transport it from Test to Production system.
But message types referred to MARA field changes are different between the two systems.
And it seems they are automatically created.
Is it true?
Thanks

Delta for cubes & master data

Bonjour,
I am a bit confused about some concepts of BW. Hope to get clarified here in good ole SDN.
1. Infocube is said to be ADD only. Yet, its data deletable eg. by request. How do I interpret this? Is it deletable only by requests? How about selectively as detail as single records? How about field level deletion (instead of a whole record)?
2. Is a 'new' image (rec mode "N") = 'after' image (rec mode " ")?
3. How is Repair Request compared to Pseudo Delta? Are they both only and must selectively delete by month / time char only? Can either be deleted by single records?
4. Master data is said to be usually overwritten. How is it so? What Delta type(s) are we talking about by this? How is Master data aggregated? Can it be? What does serialization and duplicate master data processing mean? How can master data prevent duplicates?
What's the usual and possible practices to manage delta for Master data attr,txt,hier?
Awaiting your reply.
best regards,
Pascal Gabin

1. Infocube is said to be add only because it is different from ODS or master data where you can 'merge or overwrite' data. When 2 records are loaded into an Infocube, if they are different in any one field, they will be stored as 2 seperate records (in the fact table of the cube). Whereas if 2 records are loaded into an ODS, and the records are similar in terms of the key of the ODS, only 1 record will be created in the ODS with the second records details overwriting the first if there is a clash.
From a cube you can delete data either selectively by specifying ranges or delete an entire request. You cannot do field level deletions.
2. No they are different. Let us say there is a record with 2 fields Customer and Amount being loaded into an ODS. First record loaded is (Pascal, 10.00). Then there will be a New-image record (Pascal, 10.00,N). After this a second record (Pascal, 15.00) is loaded. After this there will be 3 records.
Pascal, 10.00, New Image
Pascal, -10.00, Before Image
Pascal, 15.00, After Image.
All 3 add to 15.00.
3. Not able to understand your question. Deletion of all requests are I think the same. Selective deletion can be done only for a Infocube not for an ODS. See answer 1.
4. Master data usually changes very little. For eg, a customer 100013 is always 100013. Once in a while his phone number might change. When it does, it is picked up by the delta and the existing record in BW is overwritten. There is only one type of delta for master data. Not sure of what is the exact name. Master data is aggregated by specifying the key to the master data table.
The best practice is to maintain delta only for large master data objects (Customers, Materials etc). For all of these SAP has provided delta-enabled datasources which can be used. For the rest, full-uploads suffice.

Master Data for CRM Cubes

Dear Experts,
How to find the Master Data for the CRM Cubes for example I want to know the dependant master data for 0MKTG_C01 (CRM Lead Management) or 0CRM_C04 (Opportunities).
Pleae guide me.
Edited by: Sai Phani on May 3, 2011 10:16 AM

I don't know if this can be directly linked, but if you are interesetd for leads is used business object BUS2000108 and for opportunities 2000111. About basic tables it is easy. All objects use main table CRMD_ORDERADM_H and then there are specific tables for different objects, like for leads it is CRMD_LEAD_H and for opportunities is CRMD_OPPORT_H.

Master data for demand planning

hi guru's,
what is the master data for dp, from were we get & how BI is helpful in this.
BW integration to apo dp.pls help me out
with regards,
chinni

Hi Chinni,
Data from R/3 to BIW is transfered through LIS, LO-CockPit's Info Structures.
This is how the flow goes on....
The transactions that are executed in R/3 are stored in the background tables.
Data from these tables will be copied to the info Structures(LIS, Lo-**** Pits).
A data source is generated basing on the infostructure.
Data source is then replicated to BI, The Data from the data sources is then copied to Info Cube.
Once the data is there in your Infocube,
you create Characteristics value combinations and then transfer the data from the Info Cube into the Planning Area.
Once you are done with demand planning, you can either transfer the data to SNP or the demand management in R/3.
If you are not planning to use LIS Structures, then you can download the data from the R/3 Tables to an excel sheet and upload them into BI.
The transaction code for creation of LIS Structures is: MC21
If you have a seperate BI server(Apart from one in APO), it is best pratice to load data into the BI server and then transfer the data to APO BI.
Let me know if you have any more questions regarding this.

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:
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/ad/2d54a41d7011d2b42e006094b944c8/frameset.htm]

Match code for Vendor Master Data on PAN

Hi
Vendor match code will work only if the name are identical. But for the same vendor, user create multiple vendors.
For Ex: If the vendor name is ABC Private Limited, User puts different names like ABC Pvt Ltd, ABC P Ltd, etc.
Hence the match code check is over ridden.
For that reason, i want check on the basis of PAN number.
There is no field for PAN number in match codes field.
Please suggest how it can be maintained

Hi ,
Use the exit SAPMF02K , which is specially ment for vendor master data .
Cheers ,
