Merge Items in Syndicator

Hi All,
I have name ,category and country fields in the MDM repository and trying to merge city and location from external file as Name is matching field .But when i check in destination preview the 1st record from the file is merging and other records are not merging .
External File Format:
Name     Category     Country     City     location
p-1000     config     India     Jacksonville     Baymedows
t-1000     Halb     Germany     Chicag     Deerpark
h-1000     Halb     USA     Losangles     centuryCity
q-1000     Halb     usa     Houston     Wunderlich
Destination Preview
Name     Category     Country     City     Location
h-1000     Halb     china          -
?Not merged
p-1000     Config     india     Jacksonville     Baymedows
q-1000     Halb     india          -
?Not merged
t-1000     Halb     germany          -
?Not merged
What might be the problem?
Please let me know .

Hi Priya,
PLease check the foll options:
1. I hope the External source file is in the Tab Delimited Format as this one pre-requisite for using Merge ITems functionality of MDM.
2. The configs under the Merge Item Tab must be :
Name - Name of the Merge item
Table - Name of the Current table
Source File- As mentioned Before, Must be is a Tab-Delimited Text file Fomat.
Matching Field - In your Case, name
Source Fields to Merge- City ;Location
3. Try syndicating out the Records, it might be that be the records are not showing properly in the Destination preview.
4. Change the order of the records in the Source file and then upload it and then check whether still the earlier record is getting merged, or this time again only the First record is getting merged.
4. Also try to take simple data in the Name Field such as 1000, 1001 etc. or A, B, C. in other words try not to keep them as alpha numeric. And then try Merging
One of these might be the cause of error. Kindly check.
Hope it helps.
Thanks and regards

Custom Item in Syndicator: count of record exported

Hi all,
I'm new in MDM and I have many doubt.
One is about the possibility of add a custom item in syndicator contaning the number of the record exported.
It's possible?
Any suggestion?
thanks in advantage.
Enzo

Hi Enzo,
Custom Item in MDM Syndicator are used for the follwing reasons:
1.To include Source fields from the current table.
2. To include Source attributes from the connected repository.
3.To include Remote keys from the current table and its subtables.
4. To include Raw text entered directly into the custom item.
5.To include Repository name from which the syndicated data originated.
6.To include Date and time of the syndication.
For more information u can visit the link:
<b>http://help.sap.com/saphelp_mdm550/helpdata/en/ff/37e4c6857449388ddb6c77f160ac4f/frameset.htm</b>
What i understood from ur question is that u want to add a custom field containing the number of records to be syndicated?
U can control the number for record u want to syndicate by applying the appropriate search criteria.
If u have any more queries feel free to revert back.
Hope i've tried to answer ur question.

Seema Rane.

Merging item and condition records

Hi All,
I have a requirement to merge item and conditon data . I am using 2LIS_11_VAITM & 2LIS_11_VAKON .
The key for booking DSO are document number, item number AND calendar day. I am concerned that we cannot easily link up the records from one DSO to the other, since they are date and even activity dependent. For example, if more than one change is made to the value of the item in one day, then the condition values will also be different for each change.
Please suggest on how to go ahead .
Thanks

The best thing is to load these datasources to 2 DSOs and then to a Cube.
One option could be having a consolidation DSO on top of these two, having multiple rule groups to convert the data model from Account based to Key figure based for Conditions data. You will have multiple condition records for a Sales order item. Order, item & condition type should ideally be the key for the DSO). When loading Conditions to the Consolidation DSO (this would have Order, item as key) you would have multiple transformation rule groups so that key figure from each condition record is updated to one key figure in the DSO. There could be may condition records and there could be new additions in ECC, then you would have to change the objects again. This, I guess is not a good model.
Enhancing VAITM is not a good option as there would be many condition records for an order item.

BADI/user exit to merge items in PO

Hello,
does someone know a BADI or user exit where I can merge items in a purchase order when I create/change it. The intension is that the quantities of 2 items that have the same material are added into one item.
I tried BADI ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST, but it seems that non of the methods have all items available, I can only handle one item at the time.
kind regards,
Pieter

Isn't it enough to do it for one item at a time? Or do you plan to merge items on old POs ?
if you have a PO item of material A and you want add another item for material A, then it merges to the first item.
You can simulate it manually.
Create a PR with several items.
Then execute ME21N. open the document overview and find your requistion.
Drag and drop one requisition item into the shopping cart on top of ME21N.
then open the schedule tab in item detail of ME21N.
take next PR item and drop into the shopping cart below the schedule tab.
SAP will create a second schedule line (if delivery date is different) but add the quantity to the existing PO item.

Item Merging

Is there any functionality for merging two items if so then how it can be achieved.
I have seen Item Relationships but its not working?

Hi Moiz,
You can always define cross relationships between the items and thats the only way to merge items, there's no practical reason why we need to merge the items.
thanks

Different PO numbers on item level in 1 ORDRSP?

Hello all
Couldn't find some useful info to my question until now. So here we go:
We send POs (ORDERS05-IDocs) to one of our suppliers. The process at the suppliers side merges items from different of our POs into 1 sales order and then creates 1 order response containing items from different POs and sends it back to us as ORDRSP-IDoc.
Example:
PO number 123
item 10, article A, quantity 10
item 20, article B, quantity 5
item 30, article C, quantity 7
PO number 456
item 10, article X, quantity 3
item 20, article Y, quantity 1
item 30, article Z, quantity 15
The order response coming back from our supplier contains (example):
Order Response number 789
item 10, article A, quantity 10 (reference PO number = 123, item 10)
item 20, article B, quantity 5 (reference PO number = 123, item 20)
item 30, article X, quantity 3 (reference PO number = 456, item 10)
When processing the incoming ORDRSP-IDoc it fails because PO-number in item is not equal to PO number in header.
Is there any possibility to solve this? Our supplier can't change its process, so mergers of different PO items into 1 sales order will remain.
Thanks in advance
Renaud

Split Rule doesn't work for certain items

Hi experts,
In TPVS, I set up split rule with split qty 1 and no item split. The rest of setting is like default value. However, in VS01, some item qty is more than 1. I check the detail. There is exception, but don't know what it is. Is there any way to know the exception detail?
I know the freight unit can not be automatically executed when fixed line exists or the freight unit is created manually. I check the freight unit type (icon), it's @39@. It should not be manually created unit. There is way to figure out whether it's fixed line. Is there any one can give me some idea about that?
When we enter VS01, the system will build freight unit based on split rule. However, if we do not exit vs01 and re-run VSR optimization many times, the freight unit will be come bigger and bigger but still within vehicle capacity if we choose merge planned item option in split rule. The result might not be right. For example, system merge 2 items together for vehicle A and next item might merge these 2 items with another 1 item for vehicle B. If capacity of vehicle A is 2, system won't never choose vehicle A if the FU is 3 after the previous optimization run. Is that true? Does that mean we need to exit vs01 everytime for each optimization run?
Thanks for your advice,
Jessie.

HI Jessie,
Regarding the first issue, I hope you have properly maintained the unit of measure in splirt profile. I would recommend that you try performing manual split using the same split rule. This might tell you the exact reason.
I can not comment about 2nd issue.
Regarding the 3rd issue, the problem you say seems to be right. I have also experienced the same. My only query is that when you run the optimizer, the system will plan the shipments & will assign the freight units to the truck. Now if you have selected 'Fix Temporary Shipments' in optimizer profile, it will not modify the existing planned shipments in new optimizer run & hence will not merge new item with existing merged item.
I hope my understanding of the issues is correct. You can reply back in case you have more queries.
Thanks & Regards

Responsive mail merge

We have a spreadsheet from excel, and a document in indesign that is set up to use conditional text in a number of areas.
It's already set up for a mail merge, with name and address. However, there are place in the letter we would like conditional text to be dependent on the value of one of the data merge items.
So if the row for person 1 has the value of AAA in column D of the spreadsheet, and value CCC in column T, then paragraph AAA is put in one place of the letter, and paragraph CCC is put in another.
Is there a sample script for this posted that might get us started on the right path?

You read carefully chapter #11 in Pages User Guide.
In the English version it means pages 243…249 so I can't resume them here.
PS: it would be a good idea to update from 10.4.6 to 10.4.11

Data merge won't actually merge

I'm using InDesign to merge six badges to one page with information from a .txt file. I have my source file uploaded and my placeholders matched up and the whole badge grouped. When I preview the multiple record layout, everything is how I want it, but when I click OK I get a new document that looks like my original layout document. There is only one record on the page and it isn't populated except with my placeholders. Any suggestions?

Don't preview. It can corrupt a layout or simply not work with the actual merge. In case you cannot restart ID and successfully just trust the merge and do it, you may need to copy the current merge items into a new ID file--and don't preview.

Multilingual attribute syndication

Hi,
I have a requirement for attribute syndication in multiple languages. Say a material with Mat ID 1000 belonging to the UNSPSC code 12345678 has got an attribute called COLOR .The attribute COLOR has got value yellow(in English) and Umbrello( in Spanish) . Taxonmy table containing attributes ,attribute values in different languages are all ready imported. Main table import is also done .Now I need to syndicate the record with attribute values in different language at one shot. When I try to use the option "split multilingual field by value/language" it shows enabled only for Text type multilingual fields .I dont get the option for attributes in the syndicator mapping.
Can anyone suggest of any worksround how to build a map that will syndicate attributes values associated with a record in different language at one shot. I know if one logs in the syndicator in different languages he cann see the attribute values in that language . But that doesnt work here because the syndicator map will be used in the autosyndicate step in the workflow. So all the attribute values associated needs to be syndicated at one go.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Prabuddha

Hi,
I tried the same thing at my end, yes you are right that Attribute Text values is not getting split into multilingual languages. There is one workaround but it would be little bit labourious, you can syndicate atributes into respective languages using MDM syndicator or MDM Data Manager when you open this MDM Clients with Prooperty Language = German etc.
I take simple example suppose you have repository into 3 languages say Eng(US), Ger(DE) and FRA(FR). and say you have one unique (Key)field in Repository say ProductID usually Text type of Numeric and have attribute U_Color .You can get tab delimited text file for GER when open MDM Syndicator with Language = GERMAN(DE). At destination side you can create two fields say PRODUCTID and U_Color_DE. After mapping you have Attribute value into German. similarly when you open your MDM syndictor/Data Manager in French you have Attribute value in French.
Now finally open syndicator with language english and in source side you want three Attribute value split using U_Color which is not possible but have value in english only. for the remaining two values you can have, using Merge Items tab. where Matching Fields Property Source field ProductID = target field PRODUCTID and for source fields to Merge = U_Color_DE when you use prevously created file using Syndicator for Attribute value in German as said above. You will get this field into your item mapping and map this merge source field with target U_Color_DE, similarly you can do for French. Hope it helps....

How should I give itunes autonomy to my children now that they are in high school and have used my Mac and my itunes account to buy music for years, including all gift cards given to them. They now both have their own computers.

When my children were younger, and needed more help and oversight, I had them purchase songs with my permission, often with gift cards that they had been given on various occaisions. Now, however, they both have laptops, they would like to split out "their" music and books, sync their Itouches to their own system, and I would love to have 9000 less Taylor Swift songs stored on my hard drive. Also, it seems that I can't set up independent Itunes accounts for them without a credit card, however they both get gift cards several times a year. A suggestion for this? It must happen to a lot of families. Thanks.

Unfortunately you cannot split (nor merge) items purchased with an AppleID. I am not clear on what you will have to do to allow them continued access to their music on your account. Apple no longer has DRM protection in its music but then I also hear people have all kinds of authorization issues when trying to synch so it sounds like they still keep restrictions on what you can do with the music when trying to move it about. I'll let somebody more experienced with syncing answer this part. You may have to authorize their computers and devices to your AppleID to allow them all functionality with the music.
Ideally you would have set them up with their own AppleIDs years ago but...

Finding duplicate entries in address book

I am using Address Book 5.0.3, where I have been using LinkedIn's CardMunch to import contact details via my iPhone. However, I now end up with three distinct issues regarding duplicate entries:
1/ two people with the same name, e.g. John Smith, but I know they are two separate people and they work for different companies.
2/ After an import, I may have some duplicate entries, say Alan Walker, who has moved from company A to company B and I want to replace his old contact details with the new information.
3/ two duplicate entries the same name, say Brian Vickers, both of which refer to the same person who still works for the same company, but has new contact details or additional data, such as a mobile number that I did not have before.
4/ two duplicate entries that are identical. E.g. I imported the same card twice for some reason.
5/ multiple entries marked 'Cannot Read Name', where CardMunch had a problem, but I know they are different people and I have to edit these to manually enter the correct information.
Unfortunately the Address Book find duplicates function, whilst it works, does nothing useful. The only option I am presented with is 'Merge', which in all of the scenarios above apart from item 4 I do not want to do a merge function - I want to either 'Mark as NOT Duplicates' (item 1/), 'Replace Selected Fields' e.g. show me the two cards side by side and allow me to select which fields from which card are to be kept, replaced or removed and then implement the merge (item 2), "Add New Information' but allow me to select the label for that information before merging so that if someone has a new iPhone, but is still keeping their old mobile, I can select the field label correctly and then merge (item 3) or 'Edit Card' which allows me to open any identified duplicate and add in missing information that would mean that it is no longer a duplicate item.
Can anyone suggest a way of doing this, or can Apple's developers please add these features to the Address Book App as soon as possible?
Thanks, Russ Taylor

books06,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
It depends upon which version of Address Book you are using, and your definition of "view."
1. Address Book 3.1.1 Help
2. Address Book 4.0.3 Help: Combining duplicate cards and information
To find and merge duplicate cards:
1. Choose Card > "Look for Duplicate Entries."
2. Address Book tells you if it finds duplicate cards, cards containing duplicated information, or both.
3. Click Merge to merge duplicate cards and remove redundant information on cards.
When Address Book merges duplicate cards, it creates a single card for the contact containing all of the unique information from each merged card. Address Book uses the picture from the merged card appearing first in the list.
To merge selected cards only, Command-click to select the cards you want to combine and choose Card > Merge Selected Cards. Address Book creates a single card using the name and picture of the selected card appearing first in the list.;~)

AppleTV long delivery times.

Is anyone else who ordered the Apple TV on Sept 1st waiting for merge in transit shipping details to be updated? Currently I am being told that my expected delivery date for the Apple TV and iPod touch I ordered is 11th October.

Ordered mine on Sept 2 and still no joy. I don't mind waiting a few weeks but I think the lack of updates is shocking. I ordered the New ATV, Belkin HDMI cable, Magic Track Pad and Battery Charger - despite all items bar the ATV being available I'm still waiting to receive any of these items. About a week ago I had a change in my Shipment Status to say "In Transit to Customer - Shipment on Schedule" and then a date of 5th October. The information is so unclear, getting excited about it potential turning up yesterday (5th Oct) and then it not, I realized that the date has absolutely no meaning at all.
I can understand all of the issues involved from merging items to customs issues but the lack of real time tracking information is utterly rubbish. I reread my original order receipt and noticed this Shipment Tracking caveat "Once your order has merged, your Order Status will be updated with carrier details and tracking information. Please allow up to 5 business days for the online Order Status to be updated." - In what way is a five day delay in the order status update useful?
Anyhoo - I'm just hoping it won't be too much longer now.

Tricky Database Modelling Issue

My application needs to merge items of defferent types into items of one specific type.
For example, 2dz Heinecken, 3dz Grolsch and 1dz Stella should be turned into 6dz of Heinecken whereas 2dz Heinecken, 3dz Grolsch, 1dz Stella and 3dz Carlsberg should be turned into 9dz Grolsch.
There isn't really a pattern to it and the rules can change all the time. Therefore, the user should be able to maintain data in the database so that my application can be directed how things ought to be merged.
I have thought and thought and though how to model this but can't see anything simple. Has anybody here any suggestion?

I'm not sure what is unclear here Dave...
I stated what my app was supposed to do but let me try again. Let's assume I had a Beer Table. So I'd have records like:
Heinecken
Grolsch
Stella
Carlsberg
etc.
As mentioned, I need something that allows me to do a lookup based on multiple of these records. For example, I could use a bitmask as a key for my beer table:
Key Name
1 Heinecken
2 Grolsch
4 Stella
8 Carlsberg
16 Tuborg
32 Leffe
64 Urquell
etc.
I could then create another table that would use the bitmask as a key, so that an entry for say Heinecken/Stella/Leffe which would identify Stella as the default would look like so:
Key UseThis
37 4
While this approach would do the trick, there are many flaws. I was wondering if anyone here had come accross matrixes like that and found a way to implement these elegantly in a relational database?

ISync & Palm Treo failure

Hi folks,
Was a fairly happy user of iBook g4 OS 10.3.9 and Palm Treo 650 until sync'ing failed sometime last month. I had been using iSync to sync PDA contacts with Address Book, PDA calendar with iCal, and PDA Tasks with iCal as well (didn't realize that Memos sync with nothing, they are lost forever apparently). In late February I downloaded the Palm daylite savings time patch, seemingly successfully. Gotta wonder whether DST or the patch caused all this, huh? Anyway, I suffered a complete failure of my Palm Treo during a hotsync in March. It got stuck in a hotsync-reset loop. I had to do a hard reset. Of course, that wiped out everything on it. I tried to do a hotsync to reload everything, but hotsync process fails midway through. So I restored my Palm with BackupPro (I made backups way too infrequently, last one was months ago). Been reloading software (mostly medical stuff) ever since and slowly getting it to work.
BUT, it is still crashing during hotsync unless I deactivate the iSync conduit. Specifically, the iBook and Treo sync the install files successfully, then it starts iSync stuff, successfully sync's the AddressBook-Contacts, then tries to sync the calendar-iCal stuff. It tries, it tries, it waits, then the Treo resets itself while the iBook keeps trying to reset. When I finally cancel the failed hotsync, I get this error report in the hotsync log:

Can anyone suggest what is going wrong? I have some pretty important data trapped now in iCal calendar and To-Do list while my Treo's calendar and tasks remain empty. I am using OS 10.3.9, iSync 1.5, iSync Palm conduit package 1.2 (if I'm listing that last item correctly).

With regard to memos: when the iSync Palm Conduit is installed, the script deactivates the Memo Conduit and Memos Conduit. You can reactivate them by dragging them from the Disabled Conduits folder back into the active Conduits Folder. Both are found here:

The installation process does not delete them from the Palm Desktop. They remain there, but are not updated unless and until you reactivate the conduits.
With regard to the iSync error: Warning: couldn't get record 338 for database DatebookDB, skipping the rest of the database
That error indicates that the corrupted record resides on your Palm device, and not in iCal. To correct that problem, you should remove your device from iSync, add it back again using the Enable Palm OS Syncing… option and choose to Replace the records on your Palm device, rather than Merge items with them.
