Relation between entities

What is best practice to make relations between different entities in the RMS.
e.g.
A PhoneNumber belongs to a Group and a PhoneNumber is of a specific Type. In a RDBMS I would create 3 tables to accomplish this.

Lots of options:
1. use "fields" within a record, one of the fields can be a unique ID for the record. Use this as a foreign key.
2. download pointbase database and use SQL
3. keep the recordID of the parent record somewhere in the child record.
If you are going beyond simply storing well defined data in an RMS, consider creating or using a database, such as pointbase.

Data Modeling for a Small Database Tutorial - understanding "Creating Relations Between Entities" part

I am trying to understand and make use of Tutorial: Data Modeling for a Small Database
During this tutorial I'm supposed to make Transactions Entity containing two attributes that will refer to Patrons (patron_id) and Books Entities (book_id) (2.1.4)
Later, I'm adding two one-to-many relations that duplicate mentioned attributes in Transactions Entity (patron_id1 and book_id1). (2.1.5)
So here comes my questions: what's the purpose of creating those attributes in point 2.1.4 if they're then duplicated in paragraph 2.1.5?
If it might be crucial, i'm using Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler Version 4.0.0.825 Build 825 on jdk1.7.0_25.
Bonus question: How to turn on attributes types on Logical Diagram? I can't find corresponding option anywhere...
I would be really grateful for every answer and for every trick!

You are looking at release 2 documentation. I checked 3.3 and 4.0 EA3 and the tutorial has been corrected You may want to download the latest version and use that documentation.

Forte Express - Assocaion Between Entities of different Models

Hi Everyone
To my knowledge Forte Express doesn't have straightforward approach to establish relation between entities of various business models. Customization must be in-order to achieve the same.
It is possible to establish relations between sub-models of a business model
I have lack of knowledge about the latest versions of the Forte Express. I want to know if the latest version of the Forte Express provides any of the following:
1. Customize the source code generation to seperate a single business model to multiple projects. Each Sub-model of the Business model corresponds to a new project. If my Business Model has 3 Sub-models, I want 3 projects.
2. Allow establishing relations between entities of different Business Models while modelling itself.
Thanking you in advance

Creating a master-detail relation between a view and a table

Hi all,
I have a problem with creating a master-detail relation between a database-view with lots of customer data and a small table with per customer a list of entities of our companies who may work for that customer.
Somehow I seem to be unable to create a relation between these two. I can't find where I can make a foreign key using Toplink to implement the relationship. And neither can I get a Viewlink object doing the job using ADF Business Components.
Somebody any suggestions on this problems?
Regards,
Birgit

There is a key relationship between two fields which form the primary key in the main table of the view and two fields in the second table.
I created a viewlink manually, but I still couldn't get the data correct i.e. a form with one record of a customer from the main view and a small table with all entities of our company who can make performances for that customer.
I tried to find a manual or a how-to on this topic but I didn't find anything helpfull yet.
Regards,
Birgit
After a couple more tries, I got the master-detail working. With all the fiddling I am not sure what caused the problem but I think the finally action was checking which fields of the view were marked as primary keys.
Now everthing is up and running.

Is there any relation between feilds " reason, code, code group , sub pro

is there any relation between " reason , code , code group , subject profile'
Actually i have make "reason" feild has default value ..
i have to do by RFC .
Cany any body plz reply from where i have to pick this reason feild and set reason feild has default value has " not started "
thanks,
aravind.

Hi,
Subject profiles are used in different areas like
Service
Complaint
Activity reason(Used in all documents like sales,service order)
There is a relationship between Codes, Code groups, code group profiles, Catologs, Subject profiles.
Do not confuse 'Reason' with 'Code' or 'Subject'(Not subject profile), all are same. In different contexts you call them with different names.
1. In IMG while creating codes you use the name "Code".
2. While entering details about activity in any business transaction you call it as a "Reason"
3. While entering the defect of the problem in Service or complaint doc. you use the name "Subject"
In all above cases it is equivalent to name "CODE' which you define in IMG.
Now coming to relationship of above mentioned entities, in any business transaction type customization you can select "business activity" as additional business transaction category. At the customizing header level of this bus. tran. category you are allowed to enter a "Subject profile" which controls your "Reason" field in the business transaction.
In a similar way for service or complaint order you are allowed to enter a "Subject profile" for entering "Subject" in respective transactions.
Each subject profile is assigned to Subject profile category like Service, Complaint, Activity reason etc.,
1. First define catalogs
2. For each catalog define code groups and codes( Code, subject, reason mentioned earler)
3. Create 'Code group profile' for each catalog and assign assign 'code groups' that are relevant for coreesponding catalog to 'code group profile'
4. Now finally create a "Subject profile" which is the combination of "Catalog and code group profile"
I think this would clarify your doubt.
Coming to default value in this reason field, the standard system will not support this. You sholud use some Badi to get this.
Reward points if it helps.

What is the relation between delivery num , sales order num and invoice

what is the relation between delivery num , sales order num and invoice

Look at VBFA Table
goto VBFA table ,enter order number number vbelv ,vbtyp_n is C,then VBELN is the delivery
if you enter delivery number in vbelv ,vbtyp_n is J,then vbeln is Invoice.
here VBTYP_N is the import.
VBFA is the sales document flow table,and very important table

DBAdapter Creating Relations between tables not having PF-FK relationship

I am writing a process which has to pull data from three tables.
SELLER_HEADER (inv_Num is Primary Key)
SELLER_LINE_ITEMS ( no PK but has inv_num and line_number which together are unique)
BUYER_LINE_ITEMS (no PK but has cust_num, cust_PO_num and line_num that are unique)
I want to create a DB Adapter which would take in an invoice number, customerNumber and customerPONumber
and fetch me data whose XSD is roughly in this structure
One Node of Type Header
---- Column 1 of the Header Table
---- Column 2 of the Header Table
---- Column 3 of the Header Table
... and so on
Multiple Nodes of
---- Column 1 of the Seller Table
---- Column 2 of the Seller Table
---- Column 3 of the Seller Table
and
---- Column 1 of the Buyer Table
---- Column 2 of the Buyer Table
---- Column 3 of the Buyer Table
I tried some combinations and found that if you have a 1:M mapping for Header - Seller Line Item
and a 1:1 mapping between Seller Line Item and Buyer Line Item then i get the desired XSD
So, I created a 1:M relation between header and Seller lineItems. However i cannot create a one to one mapping between Seller Line Items and Buyer line items. Nor can i create a 1 :M mapping between Seller Header and Buyer Line Items. That is why the generated XSD shows
<SomeCollectionName>
<SellerHeader>
<BuyerLineItems>
<SellerLineItems>
</SomeCollectionName>
Any pointers for this? How do i make a relation based on the input values to the DBAdapter

Does the CORE_BUSINESS schema have REFERENCES and SELECT privileges on the table you are trying to reference with the foreign key constraint?

Database table/FM to find relation between plant and company code in SRM

Hi,
I have a requirement where I need to determine the relation between the plant and company code in SRM.
The plant and company code both belong to R/3. We are replicating the plant by using the report BBP_LOCATIONS_GET_ALL.
This plant is now available as a BP in SRM. But from which SRM table or using which SRM FM can I get the relation between this and the company code?
Thanks,
Srivatsan

Hi
Check table BBP_LOCMAP. (Plants) - Manage Table Business Partner > System > Location
BBP_COMPCODE_FAV User-Specific Favorites for Permitted Company code.
Hope this will help.

Relation between GL Account and Invoice?

Hi Experts,
I am working with the FI reports for the first time and I do not have any idea on FI functional flow. I have some basic questions like
What is the Relation between GL Account and Invoice?
When will an Invoice be posted into BKPF, BSEG, BSAD, BSID, BSAK and BSIK? Is there any field in these tables which gives the Invoice number against which a GL Account is created?
For example if I want to calculate " no of vendor invoices without PO how can I do that"? How can I know what are vendor invoices created against a PO or without PO?
Thanks for any help in advance and I am bound to reward points.

What is the Relation between GL Account and Invoice?
SAP's Glossary for GL Account is
"A structure that records value movements in a company code and represents the G/L account items in a chart of accounts.
A G/L account has transaction figures that record changes to the account during a posting period. These figures are totals that are used for G/L reporting."
In accountancy, an account is a label used for recording and reporting a quantity of almost anything. For example when a company pays salary to its staff, They debit Salary account. This is to identify what is the nature of an expense.
An invoice is a message to the buyer of goods or services that contains, among other things, Name of the goods or services, Quantity sent, & Remuneration due.
Invoice is also a SD document used to charge a customer for a delivery of goods or for services rendered.
When will an Invoice be posted into BKPF, BSEG, BSAD, BSID, BSAK and BSIK? Is there any field in these tables which gives the Invoice number against which a GL Account is created?
If it were a vendor invoice. (i.e you purchase items or service and recieve invoice)
Invoice get posted to the tables once someone makes a Logistics Invoice verification through t-code MIRO etc. The teble RBKP gets the first posting.
If it were your own invoice to your customers, then VBAK and VBAP get the posting. The connectivity of tables are available in http://www.erpgenie.com/abap/tables.htm As far as SAP is concerned an invoice is a document, so you can only trace invoice as a document number, field name is usually BELNR. Even if a vendor invoice arrive, an internal invoice number is generated where the vendor invoice is entered only as a reference field. This is because, each vendor can have inovices of different size and pattern.
How can I know what are vendor invoices created against a PO or without PO?
For a purchase order you can find in table EKBE for BEWTP = Q any invoice document.

Relation between sales order and purchase requisition in MTO senario

Hi:
guru,In MTO sinarnio,for example strategy group is 20 or 50,how to get the raw material requisition according to every sales order item,semi-finished production orders should be exploded to raw material purchase requisition.In other words, how to beulid the relation between them and which tables data can be retrieved?your advice will be appreciated.

Hi Wang,
To view Sales Order Itemwise status, use MD4C.
Keep patience becuase in first go through it may look bit confusing.
Secondly, to generate Component requirements there are two ways.
1) Use MD41 - Run it on FERT code. It will generate requirements upto last level of BOM
or
2) Use MD02
2nd option would not work if MRP type 'M0' or equivalent is used in FERT Material master. In that case only 1st option would work.
Hope your question is answered.
