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.

What is the importance of the tabs like vendor and customer in t.code md04

Hi All,
what is the importance of the tabs like vendor and customer in t.code md04? Could you please explain me...
Thanks
Krish

Hi Krish,
In MD04,you see requirement of material.
Whenever there is Purchase order & Sales order created,you will find relevent Vendor & Customer name respectively when you go for Vendor & Customer tab. When you double click on Vendor It shows you details of Vendor.
Just try & Check it.
Hope this help you.

Open Transactions in ECC for Master Data changes in MDM

Hi All,
I have a basic Design question on how to handle the impact of Data changes in MDM for any open transactions with that Master object. For eg if we have a Material set up in MDM and in ECC and there are open Purchase Orders for that Material, now if the Base Unit of Measure is changed in MDM and gets harmonized to ECC(After Workflow approval of the Change) how will it impact the PO attached to the material . Can we do any configuration in ECC that will restrict any Open PO s not to take the new changed value and any new POs taking up the new Base Unit of Measure , or can we set up an alert/notification that will trigger for a PO whenever any Master Data is changed and the PO takes the new changed value on the fly . What will be the best approach from a solution point of view .
Thanks ,
Prabuddha

Hi Prabuddha,
In ECC if a change happens to a master data not all the changes are reflected automatically in the open documents like open PO or open Sales order. Some fields values have to be redetermined for eg: "pricing procedure", some of them needs to be changed manually for eg: "Description". Moreover specific to your eg of Base unit of measure, this is a sensitive field and has lot of impact on the process so there for changing such fields it is necessary to close all the open documents against the Master data record in consideration. This fact is regardless whether the change happens through an IDoc or directly by MM02/XK02/XD02
Prabudha, Please revert if you have further questions.
Best Regards

BW - Delta for Master data not loading

Hello All,
I am not able to load delta for master data of vendor and material.
The initial load works fine but when I load delta it gives an error
" The extraction program does not support object 0vendor"
" ALE change pointers are not set up correctly"
Do i need to activate the change pointer in BD61. I was not sure so checking up with all experts.
Regards
Vanya

Hi Ravi,
We faced the same problem as you for 0MATERIAL_ATTR and we solved it by the following steps,
1. Delete the previous Delta Init for the InfoObject
If you have access to R/3 Side you can follow the steps or you can follow the BW Steps
Goto RSA7 ->Select and Delete the Init for the InfoObject
From BW Side
InfoPackage-> Inti for Source System -> Select & Delete
2. Execute the Init InfoPackage for the InfoPackage again.
3. After successful completion, execute the delta InfoPackage.
We have have got resolved by doing these steps and it may help for your problem as well.

If you are purchasing as well as selling to the same party i.e. customer and vendor are same, you can do following.
1) Create Customer Master Data for the Party.
2) Create Vendor Master Data for the same Party.
3) Go to tranaction for Change Customer, go to Control Tab and specify the Vendor No in Vendor field.
4) Go to Payment Transactions tab, select the indicator "Clearing with Vendor".
5) Repeat steps 3 and 4 for Vendor Master data change as well. Specify Customer No in Customer field of Vendor Master and also select the indicatro "Clearing with Customer".

About delta loading for master data attribute

Hi all,
We have a master data attribute loading failed which is a delta loading. I have to fix this problem but I have two questions:
1. how can I find the those delta requests because I need to delete all these failed requests first, am I right ? Master data is not like cube or ods that we can find the requests in Manage, for master data how can we find them ?
2. Could you please let me know the detailed procedures to perform this delta loading again ?
Thanks a lot

Hi...
1. how can I find the those delta requests because I need to delete all these failed requests first, am I right ? Master data is not like cube or ods that we can find the requests in Manage, for master data how can we find them ?
Look.....for master data.....no need to delete request from the target..........just make the status red.......and repeat the load.....But problem is that master data sometimes does'nt support Repeat delta..........if u repeat......then load will again fail with Update mode R.........in that case u hav to do re-init.......
1) delete the init flag.......(In the IP scheduler >> in the top Scheduler tab >> Initialization option for source system)
2) Init with data transfer(if failed load picks some records)..........otherwise .....init without data transfer.....if the last delta failed picking 0 records.......
3) then Delta.......
2. Could you please let me know the detailed procedures to perform this delta loading again ?
1) Make the QM status red.........to set back the init pointer.......
2) Repeat the load.....
After that.........if again load failed with Update mode R.....
1) delete the init flag.......
2) Init with data transfer(if failed load picks some records)..........otherwise init without data transfer.....
3) then Delta.......

SAP BW 3.5 APD for master data

Gurus,
We are having issues with SAP BW 3.5 APD transformation before full upload for Item master data. Due to the high volume encountering short dumps. We cannot extend memory space to fix this short dump. What we are trying to do is initilize the values before the full load to make consistent with SAP so that BW item cost values is in sync with SAP. There was no issue in development and only in test system.
So work was moved to test.
Is there any suggestion for this problem or alternative to something else? Please help.
Thanks,
Di

Hi Abhishek,
We need to correct values of custom cost related fields of master data in BW that pull data from SAP. If any Item with cost field in SAP is not maintained any longer, we found the solution to initilize every record with APD before doing full upload in BW to be in sync. Version is BW 3.5. We are facing performance issue. So tried different ways like delete all the records that is already zero before reading data from the internal table. We still get short dump when process chains runs with APD program. I am not sure how to pull data in smaller chunks with filters here. Any suggestions please? Design is master data, filter columns, routines and master data. Source and target are the same.
Thanks,
Di

Use of Vendor and Customer in 'Define Shipping Data for Storage Location"

Under the stock transfer order configuration, there is a IMG step "Define Shipping Data for Storage Location".
In this at storage location level, we can assign, sales org/distribution channel, division and VENDOR and CUSTOMER to storage location.
The customer number is used a sold-to-party in outbound deliveries.
But I am not able to figure out what's the use of VENDOR number we are specifying in this step.
If I am assiging the VENDOR Number here to every storage location, then when I am creating cross-company code Stock transport order, which vendor code I will select the one assigned to PLANT or one Assigned to Storage location.
Also I need to know what vendor account group I will use for creating this storage location vendor. I have more than one storage locations) under one plant. Soif I used account group as "0007" plant, SAP doesn't allow me to assigne one plant code to 2 vendors and in vendor master on 'additional purchasing data' screen I am not seeing storage location field, it has only 'PLANT' field.
So I need to know-
1. Which account group to use for creating storage location vendor
2. What's the ultimaye use of this vendor code
3. What vendor # I will use while creating cross-company PO (one for plant or one for storage location.
Thanks

Hi,
Define Shipping Data
Here in this step you maintain the customer number of the receiving plant. This customer number is used in SD shipping processing to identify the goods recipient (ship-to party) if stock transfer to be carried out with an SD delivery
A goods receipt can be planned in the receiving plant.
You can enter a vendor (transport vendor) in the stock transport order
In IMG step "Define Shipping Data for Storage Location".
You can assign sales org/distribution channel, division and VENDOR and CUSTOMER to storage location through Plant only.Means this Vendor is created for entering in the STO .This vendor is created for the the Plant (Supplying Plant)so as u can create STO.

Why we are not using "Message Control" for Master data ?

Hi friends,
We are using Message control as output determination for Transactional data, what is the main reason for not using the msg control for Master data.Please explain with details...
I am very thankful to them...
Thanks and Regards.
Naveen Kumar. Chamala

Hi Naveen,
 Listing down those I know -
 1. Master data is expected to be changed/created less frequestly.
 2. Transactional data is expected to be chnaged/created more frequestly.
 3. Transactions to create/change/display master data do no have message control integration, since you are not supposed to print/fax/mail master data to your partners.
 4. Distribution of master data in generally supposed to happen within Enterprise boundry and typically you will have one central server maintaining master data which will be distributed to multiple downstream operation system (Some thing where MDM fits). So ideally when distributing master data using ALE you will be sending it to multiple systems.
 5. Distributing transactional data PO/SO etc is same as sending fax/print which fits with the requirement of message control.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Sanjeev

How to find posted documents for Master Data in BW?

Hello,
We are planning to use Knowledge Warehouse to store some documents against some Master Data like 0PROJECT. The idea is to use those documents when reporting on real cost versus budget.
We created a custom interface that we use to create new master data in BW directly, and we have an input field which precises the name of the files to be loaded. That works fine.
However, we need now to include in that custom interface a table which will display the existing documents for the project currently displayed. We want to avoid to load a same document twice.
I do not succeed in linking the master data values and the documents. I found the table RSODPHIOMA. It contains the key of the documents that I look for. How can I make the link between that key and my master data values?
Regards
Laurent

Excel 2012 SP1 plagin for Master Data Services - Bugs ???

Excel 2012 SP1 plagin for Master Data Services 32bit or 64bit
1.
My entity A has 50,000 records.
Entity B has a domain attribute "City" from entity A.
I successfully add new records to the entity B, but after refresh I cannot see any data in the domain attribute "City" for new records (empty cels)!!! Although in the Web client (or through SSMS in table) I can see the data in "City"
attribute (e.g. code_095 {Moscow}).
If I reduce the number of records in the entity A to 20 000, then I see code_095 {Moscow} in Excel 2012 SP1 plagin for MDS.
Bug???

More details for master data

Hi friends,
I want to know more details about the master data, when there is one cube or dso, how can I find out that master data objects in that?
When right click on master data info object and display, there is tabs called u2018general, business explorer, master data/texts, hierarchy, attribute and compoundingu2019, want to know much details on each tab and option in that.
I know some thing about these options, but want to know all options. This is basic question, but wants to know detaily from experts. Please give more details on this. Thanks in advance.
Suji.

there are 6 tabs in master data datasource
1. general tab, 2. Business explorer 3. master data/text 4. Hirarchy 5. attribute 6. Compounding
General:
in this there are 4 options
1. dictionary : give data type of that object, give length of the object, convertion rotiune is alpha which makes
"ALPHA conversion", is a transaction (transaction code RSMDCNVEXIT) that checks the format of all values of characteristics that use one of the conversion routines ALPHA, GJAHR and NUMCV. If values are found that do not have the correct internal format it can replace them by correct value and update all dependant SAP NetWeaver BI objects (like InfoCubes, Hierarchies, master data of other characteristics...).
The most important conversion routine - due to its common use - is the ALPHA routine that converts purely numeric user input like '4711' into '004711' (assuming that the characteristic value is 6 characters long). If a value is not purely numeric like '4711A' it is left unchanged.
transfer routine : when u want to write the routine use the create buttom.
Business explorer:
use authorization relevant check box when you want the object as authorization and use in report based on user requirement.
Master data/text:
it shows the object has attr or text or both, you can find by identifing the check box
Hirarchy:
if the check box of with hierarchy is checked then it has hierarchy.
Attributes:
it shows the attributes of the attributes.
compounding:
In Compounding, A Field or another Object is attached to an Info Object. A Compounding Characteristic is when object's definition is incomplete without the definition of another Characteristic Info Object.
We can also determine whether we want to compound the characteristic to other InfoObjects. Sometimes we need to compound InfoObjects in order to map the data model. Some InfoObjects cannot be defined uniquely without compounding.
For Example the Info Object - Location (0PP_LOCAT) has to be assigned with a Compound Info Object - Plant (0PLANT).
By using compound InfoObjects, you can model the dependencies between InfoObjects. You can compound InfoObjects to map the data structure of a source system.

Requirements for master data template

HI,
Please let me know the basic requirements for master data template. What all the infotype to be involved in collecting master data template.
Thanks and regards,
Aylwin

Hi Alwyn,
If you dealing with india payroll definately Yes subject to you business process again.
Even though it is indian payroll some item may not applicable
For exmple other income resourece will be if you go to manufaturing industries you may face problem even though they got some they don't want reveal it to the employee.
in such that infotype is not required as per your business process.
Some states like UP there is no profession tax. Genrally we say profession tax need to be configure you need that master data.
If such case that might be wrong for that you need to give all the info
use PA30 t code go in side check what are the mandatory fields and take them as master data fields and put it in template.
If your client is able to give other field you can very well add them no harm in it.
But make sure you filled mandatory fields
That is the reason i was asking you to tell which coutry payroll you using
Best Regards
