Relation between master and transaction data

Hi experts,
I have a basic question how the relation between masterdata and transction data is maintained in R/3. As I know first we extract master data and later transaction data in a typical R/3 based scenario.
1.How does BW knows that , the transaction data are related masterdata in the same sense as in R/3 ?
I am involved in an enhancement of R/3 extractor. I need to derive 3 more fields and map it to info objects in BW. Cld any one explain me ( with an example plz) how these alignments to be made. How can I establish relation b/w derived fields and transaction data during extractions ?

Hi Dave.
Let's see if I can get all of your questions answered. First, when Transactional Data is loaded, BW checks to see if a SID exists for each characterisatic field & value in the load. If one doesn't, it either creates a SID (Surregate ID) in the master data tables (default action) or the load fails (if the enforece referential intgegrity flag is set). It's better to load master data first in either case as it will improve the performance of the transactional load.
In terms of R/3, the data has similar relationships as in BW. There are master data tables and transactional data tables. The difference is that while R/3 uses ~1 master data table per field, BW uses more. Same thing for transactional data.
As for your enhancement, if everything you need for the derivation of the extra field is in R/3, then you can enhance the extractor in RSA6 and do the mapping in R/3. Once you replicate the DataSource to BW and reconnect the transformation & update rules, the load should work. If you can give a bit more information on what sort of enhancement you are attempting, I can give a better example.
Cheers,
Adam

Difference between master and transaction data

whts the difference and relaionship between master data and transaction data?why do we need to upload or extract both type of data's?cant we have only transaction data?please clarify

Hi ,
Master Data :
The data which do not change frequently and that is needed generally for many reporting .
Eg : Customer Name , Customer Address Etcc..
Transaction Data :
This the data that is derived based on some master data
Eg : Creating a sales order for a Customer . So the transaction data will be
 Customer Number , Order Quantity .
Why we keep master data as seperate in BW ?
Because master data is general , So we have to use that master data in many cubes for reporting purpose . Because for any report on Customer we need to give cutomer name , So we keep that master data outside of cube so that any cubes that need to use customer master can take that , So we can concentrate on other dimensions for cube ,Other wise we need to include customer name in all cubes which is reppetitive .
So the best method is to ....
First Load master Data
Then load Transactio data .
In the Bex part we combine the master data with transaction data so that we get combined data .
Eg :
Master Data : Customer No , Cust Name , Cust Address
Tran Data : Customer No , SD No , Order Qty .
We first load the master data into master data tables /BI0/M*
Then we load tarnsaction data into Cubes .
Then in BEX Reporting we create query for Transaction Cube , But fetch some master data using Bex feature , So the report output will be
Cust No CustName CustomerAddress SD no Order Quantity
Hope this Solves your Problem

Please help me.I need Data to make a demo planning
thanks

Hi,
There is a set of objects in business content (check under SAP DEMO in business content). You can activate some or all of these demo objects (for example demo cubes).
There are programs which you can then execute to create the datafiles which can then be loaded to these demo cubes.
" Start report RSO_BC_FILES_IN_BDS (Transaction SE 38), specify the required (Demo) InfoObject/InfoCube and choose the "Start BDN" button. The system will display all (generally one) CSV files which were supplied with the InfoObject/InfoCube. You can either export this CSV file into a local directory or you can write it directly onto the application server. For loading, proceed as described under section 1. " --- from OSS note 370397

Transfering Master and Transaction data to active and non active versions

Hi Gurus,
I am planning to transfer ECC master and transaction data to APO active and simulation versions.My question is
1. Is it possible to release Master and transaction data to active and non active versions ?
2. How i need to config if i want to release Master and Transaction data in version 001?
Please let me know .
Thanks in Advance
Regards,
Raj

Hi Raj,
1) Once you create active integration models for master data and
transactional data, the data will get updated in active version 000
2) For creation of non active version use transaction
/SAPAPO/MVM
3) For copying of data from active to non active version, use
transaction /SAPAPO/VERCOP

What is master and transaction data

can any one explain me in detail about the Master data and Transaction data.

Transaction data is data related to a single business event such as a purchase requisition. For example, when you create a requisition, SAP creates an electronic document for that particular transaction. SAP gives the transaction a document number and adds the document to the transaction data that is already in the system.
Master data is a collection of information about a person or an object, e.g. vendor or G/L account. For example, a vendor master record contains not only general information but also purchase order related information. Master data can only be entered and changed by authorized users.

Delete ERMS master- and transaction data

Hi all,
I was wondering if it is possible and if so, how, to physically delete emails. So not only setting some sort of status, but actually delete the emails including the attachments etc. belonging to these emails. Is it possible via a (simple) transaction were one can do a search and delete, or via the WebClient itself, or....whatever.
We're about to quit using ERMS, and as a consequence, we would like to clean up everything related to ERMS like master data, transaction data and customizing.
Kind regards,
Micky.

Hello Micky,
Unfortunately there does not seem to be a good solution for archiving ERMS / Agent Inbox emails that come in via SAP Connect interface. As you probably know, once an email arrives via SAP Connect, the email is converted into an SAP workflow workitem. Once the email is processed from the IC Agent Inbox, the workflow item is completed and the email is converted into an SAP Office document. From what I have heard, there is a possibility to do a "reorganization" in SAP Office to get rid of the SAP Office documents. I have also heard that customers have had success archiving the completed SAP workflow workitems. In case you are interested I think the tables that are used for ERMS related SAP Office documents are SOFM, SOOD, SOC3, SOFFCONT1 (if it is binary data), SOOS, SOST, and SOES (send external).
The issue rather seems to be that there is no possibility to archive the attachments of the SAP Office documents! My recommendation is to store the attachments on an external content management server as described in SAP note 904711. I am aware of a few other obscure reports (e.g., report RSSOAPUT) that are supposed to archive certain types of attachments (i.e., RAW and SCR), but I haven't heard of any customers who have successfully used these programs so I don't recommend them.
Best regards,
John

What is master data and transactional data?

Hi abapers,
I want to know the difference between master and transactional data?. What is the significane of both master and transactional data. At what situation master data is used, and at what situation transactional is used?. Please give me example of tables using them.

Master Data:
Master data is data that remains unchanged over a period of time. It contains information that is always needed in the same way. For example, all personal attributes can be stored in various SAP standard infotypes as records with specific validity which are called Master data.
Master data are the critical nouns of a business and fall generally into four groupings: people, things, places, and concepts. Further categorizations within those groupings are called subject areas, domain areas, or entity types. For example, within people, there are customer, employee, and salesperson. Within things, there are product, part, store, and asset. Within concepts, there are things like contract, warrantee, and licenses. Finally, within places, there are office locations and geographic divisions. Some of these domain areas may be further divided. Customer may be further segmented, based on incentives and history. A company may have normal customers, as well as premiere and executive customers. Product may be further segmented by sector and industry.
Transaction data:
Data relating to the day-to-day transactions.
Reward if helpful.
Thanks.

Difference between master data and transactional data

Hi experts i have just started learning BW can u plz let me know the difference between Master data and Transactional data in bw ? and why is master data is first loaded before the transactional data ? thanks .....

Hi
Transaction data represents any transaction occured between two parties like Customer and Vendor.
We maintain id's to maintain the Customer and Vendor.
When we look at the id we don't have a clue like who is the customer, where does he live,,....
So all this info is maintained in Master data in three categories:
1. Attributes
2. Text
3. Hierarchies.
Collection of Attribute, Texts and Hierarchies is called master Data in BI/BW.
Eg: 0MATERIAL, 0CUSTOMER,,,,,
Master data: is data that remains unchanged over a long period of time. Master data contains information that is always needed in the same way. Characteristics can bear master data in BW. With master data you are dealing with attributes, texts or hierarchies.

Master Data is one form of the historical data. There is no frequent changes in the data.Every application has it's own Master Data.
In BI the master Data has been divided into
Characterstics
Texts
Hierarchies
We can load Master Data through different ways.

Diff B/W master data and transaction data

Hi all,
What is the main Diff B/W master data and transaction data. give me some example ?
Thanks in Advance
Krish...

hi krish,
MASTER Data is the data that exists in the organization like employee details, material master, customer master, vendor master etc. These are generally created once.
Master data are distributed throughout the company, they are often not standardised and often redundant. As a result it is very costly to offer efficient customer service, keep track of supply chains and make strategic decisions. With SAP Master Data Management (SAP MDM) these important business data from across the company can be brought together, harmonised and made accessible to all staff and business partners. As a key component of SAP NetWeaver, SAP MDM ensures data integrity via all IT systems.
Regardless of the industry, companies often work with different ERP and Legacy systems. The result: the business processes are based on information about customers, partners and products which is displayed in different ways in the systems. If the data are recorded manually, there are more inconsistencies: some data sets are entered several times, others cannot be retrieved by all divisions of the company.
As corporate applications are becoming increasingly complex and produce ever greater amounts of data, the problem is intensified further. Nevertheless, your employees must work with the inconsistent data and make decisions on this basis. The lack of standardised master data easily leads to wrong decisions, which restrict efficiency and threaten customer satisfaction and profitability.
In a word: in order to save costs and ensure your companys success it is necessary to consolidate master data about customers, partners and products, make them available to all employees beyond system boundaries and use attributes valid company-wide for the purpose of description.
TRASNACTION Data - These are the business documents that you create using the master data - Purchase orders, sales orders etc

Master Data and Transaction Data For DB Connect extracted Data...

Dear Experts,
I have been working on SAP NetWeaver BW 7.3 and for the first time I have extracted data from Oracle DBMS by using DB Connect. I have successfully extracted data of a View namely Sales_View into BW by creating a DataSource. This View has about 100 fields and I have been told that this view consists of Master Data and Transaction Data too. For my further reporting needs say building a Dashboard or InfoSpace I have to design a DSO and InfoCube for this DataSource. I'm bit confused about the Master Data and Transaction Data of this DataSource.
1. Should I create all custom InfoObject against all fields of DataSource for DSO and InfoCube design?
2. Do I need to create and load the Master Data for all InfoObjects or I need to create or load the Master Data for only those InfoOjects which will be
used for drill down or reporting in Dashboard or InfoSpace?
3. Do I need to load the Master Data manually by creating Flat Files and using these files for Master Data loading for required objects?
4. How should I approach the designing of DSO and InfoCube?
I will appreciate your inputs in this matter.
Many thanks!
Tariq Ashraf

Thanks!
