Reporting of unused customer master data

Hy experts.
I have to fulfil one issue: There should be many unused/redundant customer master data on our system.
Do anyone knows an report, which shows all unused/unbooked customers?
I have tried RFDUML00 and set the flag "accounts w/o sales", this would work. But one big issue, it doesn't consider archived bookings.
Thanks a lot
best regards
Roland

Thanks for your answer, but there is still a question open...
We have 25000 customers with about 1.000.000 postings in BSID and BSAD. If I would run FBL5N I would get a very long list of all postings. Beside this, how can I match this list with the list of all customers?
The solution would be a generated list with one sum per customer. If I would have such a list, it won't be a problem to compare this with the list of all customers in Excel. But up to now, I do not find any list, which would offer this information for all years.

Customer master data updation from one system to another system

HI Experts,
I have an issue with customer master data updation from one system to another system. And here only one field is not updating properly from one system to another system. and we found this is through idoc , but we don't find field in any segment.
and the field is called ADDR1_DATA-HOME_CITY.
and this will displayed as different city in address column.
but as per the notes given in help , it is by program , form through only passing. but not able to trace and as per my analysis ADRC table , ADRNR had this field HOME CITY.
And this is for some customers updating wrong one from one system to another system , and for some customers field itself not updating in address column.
please can you suggest any one. here are screenshot for your reference.

that is not enough, it was enough in times before 40b release, but this was in the last century
Please read OSS note 384462 - Master data and addresses
it explains what you have to do for ALE

Are there any set guidelines for customer master data cleansing.

1) I was wondering if there are any set guidelines for customer master data cleansing.
2) Part of the cleansing effort involves consolidating number of divisions etc. Any pointers to this regard?
3) Also how do we deal with open docs, billing plans etc?

The data cleansing requirement will take place, while move the data from legacy system to new target ERP / system. I.e. need to cleanse, enrich, de-duplicate, & standardize.
The existing data may not have consistent format since it is often being derived from various sources. It may contain duplicate information as well missing or incomplete information. Cleanse and normalize content to achieve accuracy, consistency and proper understanding of the data.
Also its a process of organizing the data, which will ensure enrichment of your data which are up-to-date, accurate, and complete. These processes are manual / labor intensive and require a fair bit of specialization.
If you need to have more details please feel free to interact with us as per below.

Demo - Extraction of Customer Master Data from SAP R/3 ECC6 to MDM5.5

Hello,
I am new to MDM . Would appreciate if someone can give a solution to the below request.
We are doing a demo project in our Company to extract all the master data related to SALES cycle. We are doing an extraction of Customer Master Data. Currently we have the unlicensed version of MDM and very soon we will get the licensed version.
We have the Customer Master Repository created in MDM Console. The IDOC type we are using is DEBMDM05.
Is there a easy way to map the fields of IDOC to the MDM Repository. Right now we are doing a manual process of comparing the IDOC fields and MDM Repo in an excel but this is tedious and time consuming.
Can anyone suggest an easier way to identify so that we know which fields match correctly.
Thanks
Leena

Hi Leena,
First of all you have 2 options to generate IDOCs from SAP R/3 system
1.mdmgx>one IDoc per record
2.mdm_clnt_extr>for generating single IDoc having entire set of records.
Secondly,if you want to get the data mapped automatically,you should use standard maps provided by SAP(Business Content).
If at all you have created new fields then you should manually map those fields.
If any other queries pl ask

XD01 assertion failed error while updating customer master data

Hi Guys,
This is an error when I use transaction XD01 to create customers accounts, If you have any ideas do let me and we'll try it....
The error does not let an BDC or LSMW progress as well. There are also no recent sap notes on the same.
The error is as follow
ASSERTION_FAILED
Short text
The ASSERT condition was violated.
What happened?
In the running application program, the ASSERT statement recognized a
situation that should not have occurred.
The runtime error was triggered for one of these reasons:
- For the checkpoint group specified with the ASSERT statement, the
activation mode is set to "abort".
- Via a system variant, the activation mode is globally set to "abort"
for checkpoint groups in this system.
- The activation mode is set to "abort" on program level.
- The ASSERT statement is not assigned to any checkpoint group.
What can you do?
Note down which actions and inputs caused the error.
To process the problem further, contact you SAP system
administrator.
Using Transaction ST22 for ABAP Dump Analysis, you can look
at and manage termination messages, and you can also
keep them for a long time.
Error analysis
The following checkpoint group was used: "No checkpoint group specified"
If in the ASSERT statement the addition FIELDS was used, you can find
the content of the first 8 specified fields in the following overview:
" (not used) "
" (not used) "
" (not used) "
" (not used) "

I have a company code CG01 with sales organization CTS0 and I want to transfer or extend all the customer master data to another company code CG03 with the sales organization CTS0
The things that I have tried and not work
using xd01, fd15, fd16, fd01, does not wok and gives the error as above
The things that I have tried and it works
Change the sales organization from CTS0 to CTS1 I am able to post the customer master data, using any of the above tcodes and it does not give any error, however the client wants to sales organization to remain CTS0
So please give me any ideas as per your experience as this transfer of master data has to happen by Monday, else I'll be fried by my boss
My number is 9820029197
Will also keep you'll posted on any developments on this case,
Ronan Pinto

>
> Firstly I am from SAP FI, so totally new to SAP SD

Then you are best person to explain the reason on why the same sales organization, can't be assigned to different company codes. When a sales is done through one sales organization, then will the profit/loss be accounted in different company codes. Is it legally allowed in the country, where your customer is doing business? How you are going to develop the balance sheet? Again being the FI person, you are best judge to provide the details to your customer and not a SD guy.
>
> 1) How did the system not give an error while putting the data inside CG02 with sales organisaton same as CST0 same as in company code CG01.

I dont see any other method than removing the assignments in the backend and uploading the data. You can consult a Basis person to find the change logs for the assignment table. In my opinion, removing the sales organization from a company code assignment just for loading a customer master data and then reassigning to original sales org is a crooked method and/or not a professional method.
>
> 2) Since I have limited experience of SD, If I have to convince my client about the use of CTS1 sales organisation or a unique sales organisation against his argument that it worked for company code CG02, how should I do it.......
>
As explained above, how the sales will be accounted in different company codes (even if the system allows to assign the same sales org to different company codes)?
I would recommend you to post this question in FI forum (after closing here) to check what are the legal implications for this scenario.

Impacts in COPA of changing material and customer master data

Dear experts,
In my company we are considering following scenario:
Currently mySAPerp 6.0 is implemented for all modules for the mother company.
We have developed a new global template where there are significant changes versus the existing system, especially in the SD processes. Material and customer master also change significantly in terms of content in the tables/fields and/or values in the fields.
The idea was to build the template from scratch in a new machine and roll-out all group affiliates, but now we are considering the possibility of making an evolutionary of the current system and try to stretch it to the processes defined in the global template.
The scenario we want to analyze is: Keeping same organizational structure in terms of Company code, CO area and Operating Concern in existing SAP client and make an evolutionary of the existing settings to the global template processes.
The doubts we are having are the following:
Changing material & customer master data: Impact in COPA
Option 1: Material master data and customer master data codes are maintained but content in the tables/fields is changed substantially, both in terms of logical content of specific fields and/or the values in the specific fields. We have following examples of changes.
Case 1: source field in material master changes logical content. E.g. Material master field MVGR1 is currently used for product series (design line) and the content changes to be the Market Segment. The product series will be moved to a classification field. At least 5 other fields are affected by this. How can data in terms of COPA line items be converted so that they are aligned at time of reporting?
Case 2: the source field is not changed so that the logical content of the field remains but the values change, i.e. for the same concept there will be different codifications. How can data in terms of COPA line items be converted so that they are aligned at time of reporting?
Case 3: Characteristics where currently the source material master field is a Z field and the derivation is via table look up and where the Z field changes to a classification field. How can you convert the existing COPA line items to ensure that attributes are aligned? Should new characteristics be created or just change the derivation logic of the characteristic?
Option 2: Material master data and customer data codes are re-created (codification of records is changed), meaning that new material and customer codes will exist and content in tables/fields is changed (as in option 1)
Case: material and customer codes are changed. How can data in terms of COPA line items be converted so that they are aligned at time of reporting?
Iu2019ve never phased a similar scenario and I fear that maintaining operating concern while changing source master data and also SD flows (we have new billing types, item categories, sales doc. Types, order reasons) may lead to inconsistencies and problems in COPA.
I would like to ask you experts if you have come across a similar scenario and if from your experience, it is something feasible to do or there are many risks involved. What can be the impact of this scenario in existing Operating Concern for both option 1 and 2 and what would be the key activities to perform to adapt the existing operating concern. What will be the impact of the needed conversions on P&L reporting?
Sorry for the long story. I hope you can help me out.
Thanks and Regards,
Eric

Hi,
First i think you will need to test if it works for new COPA documents created via billing.
If it works fine then the issue is if you wish to apply these changes to the historical data already posted.
Normally there are transactions like KE4S where you can repost the billing document to COPA
However this may not be viable for bulk postings
You can perform realignment (KEND) but this only works at the PA segment level (table CE4XXXX)

What is the difference of customer master data between CRM and ECC

Dear all,
We are helping customer to evaluate using CRM or ECC to manage there customer master data, focusing on the benefit of using CRM system.
Can any one help to compare the difference between these two system?
some tips in my mind are:
1. CRM has a friendly user interface for user to adjust the layout, hide/display favourite information according to actuall req.
2. In CRM, user can change the field/assignment block description easilly
3. in CRM7.0, user can add new customzing field easilly via AET
4. CRM has a good any analysis platform to provide pie chart analytic
5. CRM store more customer infor. than ECC, such as Marketing attribute, account classfication...anything else?
any other benefit to use CRM for customer master data? Pls help!!!
Thanks very much!!
BR,
Hedy

I would agree with most of the topics you mentioned. Just one remark to topic number 5. Business partner doesn't have more data than erp. It has some more marketing oriented data, but on other hand doesn't have all finincial and credit data that are relevant for erp financial transactions.
In our company we have the following scenario: all business partners are created in crm (because there the sales activities are started and because we don' clasify at the begining all partners as customers but as prospects. and of course it has nicer user interface). but when we are closing the deals (ordreds are transfered to erp), we fill some additional (financial) data of that partner on erp side and clasify partners as customers.

Customer master data creation

Hello Folks,
I need some confirmations please :
1 . customer master data (cmd) is created at account group and company code level.
So, if a customer is a customer of 3 company codes of a company , 3 customer master records needs to be created where the number range of the customer code being the same and the company code is different and the account group remains the same?
2. A customer can buy from any sales area combination in company code, but only 1 customer master record is created ? If so, 1 customer code is for any Sales areas for a customer?
So, Sales area is data fields in a customer master record and only account group and company code and the customer code are key fields in the definition of customer master record?
Please confirm for me. Thanks.
regards
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
_Extension of the CMR_
a.     If the Customer is buying from under 1 Company Code and multiple Sales Areas then you need to extend the CMR for all sales area.
b.     However when the sales areas change the Customer No., General data and the Company code data does not change
While Extending the CMR by changing the Sales Area:
a.     In XD01 or VD01 enter the Account Group of the customer which is to be extended
b.     Enter the customer no.
c.     Enter the New sales area
d.     The system will take you directly to the sales area data
e.     The Company Code data and the General data cannot be chosen.
While extending the CMR for different company codes:
a. In XD01 or VD01 enter the Account Group of the customer, which is to be extended
b. Enter the customer no.
c.     Enter the New Company code
d.     The system will take you directly to the Company Code Data
e.     The Sales Area Data and the General data cannot be chosen.
While extending the CMR for different company codes and sales Areas:
a. In XD01 or VD01 enter the Account Group of the customer, which is to be extended
b. Enter the customer no.
d.     Enter the New Company code
e.     Enter the New Sales Area
f.     The system will take you to the Company Code Data
g.     Then you can go to the Sales area data.
h.     The General data cannot be chosen.
Tables Used for CMR:
Table Name     Used For
KNA1         General Data
KNVV         Sales Area Data
KNB1         Company Code Data
Q. Why are there 3 Data Groups or 3 different Tables for one customer?
Ans. Since the Customer is expected to buy in more than one sales area and also in some cases in more than one Company code different data sets need to be maintained but however some data remain same, so to avoid data redundancy you maintain 3 different tables.
Hope this helps,

Steps to create customized Master data infoobjects in BI 7

Hi all,
Can anyone please send the detailed steps to create customized master data infoobject in BI7,and also the data is to be extracted from two different datasources from two different source systems.
Regards,
G.Monica Roja Flora.

Some data modelling tips while creating master data infoobject and extracting data from different source systems -
If there are identical characteristic values describing different objects for the same characteristic in various source systems, you have to convert the values in such a way in SAP BW so as to make them unique.
For example, the same customer number may describe different customers in different source systems.
You can carry out conversion in the transfer rules for this source system or in the transfer routine for the characteristic.
If work involved in conversion is too great, you can compound the characteristic to the InfoObject Source System ID (0SOURSYSTEM). This means it is automatically filled with master data. The Source System ID is a 2-character identifier for a source system or a group of source systems in BW. The source system ID is updated with the ID of the source systems that provides the data. Assigning the same ID to more than one source system creates a group of source systems. The master data is unique within each group of source systems.

Need to export customer master data in a batch input file

Hello all,
I'm searching for a solution to export customer master data out of a R/3 system (Release 470).
The challenge is that the file must have the same structure like the file for batch input of customer master data (import file of the program RFBIDE00).
So, has anybody an idea, if there is a standard tool to get such a file? Or has anybody developed a report creating this structure by his own?
Thanks for your help,
kind regards,
Dietmar

Hi,
I have also come across the same problem as above. There is a standard program RFBIDET0 which has to be customized to get the file which can be uploaded to RFBIDE00. Do anybody come across this kind of problem before and have a program already. It will be of great help, if you can forward the program or guide.

BP not updating in Customer Master data KNA1

Guys,
I am creating a BP in CRM 7.0. Once the BP is saved & created successfully entry is present in all CRM tables as well as in the ECC side.
But for few cases the Customer Master data Table KNA1, KNVV is not getting updated, i.e no value for the BP in KUNNR.
Any idea as to what should I be checking to resolve this ? Plesae share the config details.
Also do you know how the Customer Master data gets updated ? Is it from the BAdI's or the GenIL class for CL_CRM_BUIL for componenet BP ?
I checked the methods of this dedicated GenIL class in hope to find an RFC for updating KNA1 but not successful. Is the RFC call made in BAdI ?
Tough to replicate the scenario as wheneevr I do BP gets updated in SD. But sometimes in PROD it does not happen so.
Plesae share some light.

Hi Rohit,
Put a breakpoint in FM COM_BUPA_MAIN_INBOUND_ISU in ECC system. Inside this FM it first create customer using FM PI_BP_PROXY_BAPI_CUSTOMER at line 187.
IS_CUSTOMER flag you can find in b-doc structure LS_BP_EXTERN-CRM_DATA-SALESCLASS-DATA-IS_CUSTOME.
Before calling FM PI_BP_PROXY_BAPI_CUSTOMER system perfroms multiple checks if they all went succesfull then you have to debug inside FM PI_BP_PROXY_BAPI_CUSTOMER for finding out the root cause.
Thanks,
Ashish

Unable to extract Customer Master data from MDC

Hello,
We creating an MDM-XI-ERP2005 Customer scenario. We want to work with all bussiness scenarios (not customizing scenario).
First I'm trying to extract Customer Master Data from EP 2005 using MDM_CLNT_EXTR.
I have created a New Variant which properties are:
Variant: CUSTOMER_TOTAL
Description: Send all customer data to MDM
Extraction Object: CUSTOMER_EXTRACT.
Target System: PI7.
But, the display jobs shows the following error: Could not determine recipients for message type MDMRECEIPT. Job cancelled after system exception.
We need to focus the problem. We have done the following ALE configuration.
SALE transaction:
In Basic Settings -> Logical Systems -> Define Logical System we have add the following logical systems:
              EUS100
              MDM: Master Data Management
              PI7: Process Integration 7.0
WE21:
Transactional RFC -> PI7, IDOC record types SAP Release 4.x
RFC destination: SAPSLDAPI
BD64
New Model -> PFMC
Add message type: Model iview: PFMC
                             Sender: EUS100
                              Receiver: PI7
                             Message Type: DEBMDM
WE20 transaction shows:
Partner profiles -> Partner Type LS (logical system)
                    PI7: Outbound parmtrs. DEBMDM, SYNCH.
Any idea will be very helpful,
Thanks in advance
Marta.
Edited by: Marta Sánchez on Jul 9, 2008 12:34 PM

Sorry because I made a mistake in my previous message. ALE seems to be correctly configured. I'll try to update correctly my current situation:
In WE02 I can see al IDOCs that I'm trying to send to XI. All them have the IDoc Status = 3 (Data Passed to Port OK) instead of 12 Status Dispatch OK :(. So, It seems an tRFC error.
SM58 shows me more trails: "Basic type 'DEBMDM06' is unknown"
before that I have done the following steps at SAP ERP:
    1. WE21: I have created a PI7 port with 700PI70CLNT RFC.
    2. SM59: I have checked successfully 700PI70CLNT RFC connection.
    3. WE20: I have created a PI7 Partner Type LS with the following inbound and outbound parameters: DEBMDM and MDMRECEIPT.
    4. BD64: I have created a Distribution Model with DEBMDM and MDMRECEIPT message types.
and at SAP PI:
     5.IDX: Port: SAPEUS. Client: 111. RFC Destination: PI7.
     6. technical and business system for sender SAP system(System Landscape Directory)...
- Maybe some of the previous steps is not correct....
- Is RFC Destination = PI7 is correct in step #5?
- Is also necessary to configure more steps in PI system like RFC destinations or Transactional port?
- I have read that is neccessary to check that the option "transfer idoc immediately" in we20. How?
Please any idea will be very helpful.......
Thank you!
Best regards,

Cannot Enter more than 1000 partners in Customer master data(Partner Funct)

Dear Friends,
In Customer Master Data -> Sales Area Data -> Partner Functions-> I can able to enter 1000 partners.
Now When I am trying to enter more than 1000 partners, system is not allowing me(no lines are available to enter partner)
According to my requirement I have to enter another 500 partners(business requirement)
Please suggest me how can I able to enter more than 1000 partner in customer master.
Quick reply will be appreciated and rewarded.
Thank you

Hello,
It is very clear that, unless you change the Data element for KNVP-PARZA, the system will not allow you to maintain morethan 999 partner functions for a cusotmer master.
This is very exceptional case and I handled the situation in my project with the Duplication of customer master data for Sold to party and maintained the remaining partner functions over there.
Please check with your Business/ Architect team whether they allow this. As an alternative, they have to go with duplication of sold to party for the maintanance of additional ship to parties.
OR
Should go for char length changes for data element KNVP-PARZA (NOT RECOMENDED).
Hope it helps. Let me know if not.
Thanks,
Ram.
