SAP FC: time dipendent master data

Hi All,
I'm implementing the new SAP RDS for Solvency II on SAP FC.
I have a important question: Is it possible to have time dipendent master data?
For example
The period of the reporting ID is 06.2014
I upload a record with a fund with rating AAA (and period 06.2014)
I create another reporting ID with period 09.2014
I update the master data for the same fund that now have a new rating (BBB)
I upload a record for the period 07.2014 with the same fund
When I execute the report for the period 06.2014 I can't see the old rating (AAA) but only the last.
Is it possible to have the history of master data's changes?
Thank you in advance,
Matteo

Hi Matteo,
As response to your question about having the history of master data's changes, you can enable the
trace reports which help the user to track any object modifications that have occurred.
Trace reports list any time a tracked object is created, modified, or deleted, and mention who performed the action.
This option can be enabled in the Desktop General Options as follwo:
Select Tools > General Options.
Select the Trace Reports tab.
Activate Enable the trace report function.
Click Select views to select the views whose operations you want to log.
Deactivate the views whose operations you do not want to log.
Click OK.
Once this function is activated, all operations for the module objects you selected are logged in reports.
Hope thiw would be helpful.
Kindest regards,
Siwar

SAP - BI -Time dependent Master data texts

Hi expert,
We want to modify one of our master data text to time dependent. What will be the impact to the InfoProviders?
Thanks

The infoproviders won't be impacted. However, your queries and the infosource/datasource will be impacted.
You will need to add in the DATETO and DATEFROM values in your infosource and datasource to use the time dependency. When you run a query it will select only the text values where the key date falls between the DATETO and DATEFROM values.
The key date is normally the day you run the query on -- unless it is changed in the query properties.

Time dependant master data

Hello,
We have Cost Center as a time-dependant master data attribute of 0Employee and a cube with the day and hours for employees such as below.
Time Cube
Employee#   Work Date          Hours
1             1/5/2008   8
1                 2/8/2008    8
Master Data
Employee#   Begin Date End Date Cost Center
1                 1/5/2008     1/31/2008 1000
1                 2/8/2008     12/31/9999 1200
If we run a query based on the above with a "Key Date" of 2/15/2008 we'll get the below:
Employee#    Work Date         Hours   Cost Center
1                  1/5/2008   8         1200
1                  2/8/2008   8         1200
However what we're really looking for is a design so that when the query is run it will look at the Work Day and join with the master data for that date range and use the cost center for that day, such as below. Is this possible?
Employee#     Work Date         Hours   Cost Center
1                   1/5/2008   8           1000
1                   2/8/2008   8           1200
Thanks,
Ron

One way to do this dynamically with no restrictions is to use virtual characteristic.
There is a BW Expert article on this: u201CVirtual Characteristics and Key Figures Make Queries More Dynamicu201D, here is the [link|http://www.bwexpertonline.com/archive/Volume_02_(2004)/Issue_02_(February)/V2I2A1.cfm?session=].

0CALDAY for time dependent master data lookup unknown when migrated to 7.0

I am in the process of migrating a number of InfoProviders from the 3.x Business Content to the new methodology for BI 2004s.
When I try to create a transformation from the Update Rules for 0PA_C01, all of the rules that use a master data lookup into 0EMPLOYEE give me the error such as "Rule 41 (target field: 0PERSON group: Standard Group): Time char. 0CALDAY in rule unknown".
How do I fix the transformation rule that is generated from the update rule for these time-dependent master data attributes?

Hi Mark,
look at http://www.service.sap.com/. I guess you need to implement some corrections or newer supp-packages.
kind regards
Siggi

DSO as a time dependent Master Data infoprovider

Hi All
I am looking for a "How To" document on how to use a DSO as a time dependent MD provider.
I want to load a non time dependent Master Data from a non SAP source and update the DSO daily.
When ever an attribute is changing, I want to update the last status "To Date" from 31.12.9999 to today.
Hope I am clear on this one.
I don't want to use regular master data capabilities...
Thanks, Dror

Jurgen is right...
For an after image based extractor containing the latest view of the world - you basically can do this
DSO 1
Customer - Key
Sales Persion
Date to
Date From
last_date = 31.12.9999 (constant)
load date = sy-datum
First load:
customer A, Sales Person X, To Date = 31.12.9999 , from date = 12.03.2010
Second load a week later
customer A, Sales Person Y, To Date = 31.12.9999 , from date = 19.03.2010
Change log generated is
customer A, Sales Person X, To Date = 31.12.9999 , from date = 12.03.2010 record mode before image
customer A, Sales Person Y, To Date = 31.12.9999 , from date = 19.03.2010 record mode after image
What you can do now is feed master data timedependant object or another dso.
If it is another DSO then the structure is this
DSO 2
Customer - Key
Date from - Key
Sales Persion
Date to
You need the date_from as part of the key because you are going to use the overwrite facility to play with the data depending on the record mode of the changelog entries
but in the start routine make sure the semantic keys are correct so you get both images in the same packet
Then use field symbols to load the data package in to sort and then find the opposing after image and before image then
if record mode = before image
To date = from date from after image MIINUS 1 day
endif
Then the data going out of the start routine is this
customer A, Sales Person X, To Date = 18.03.2010 , from date = 12.03.2010 record mode before image
customer A, Sales Person Y, To Date = 31.12.9999 , from date = 19.03.2010 record mode after image
And the records stored will be this
After initial load
customer A, Sales Person X, To Date = 31.12.9999 , from date = 12.03.2010
After next weeks load
customer A, Sales Person X, To Date = 18.03.2010 , from date = 12.03.2010
customer A, Sales Person Y, To Date = 31.12.9999 , from date = 19.03.2010
Or something like that - but you get the idea.. and yes I have done it before

Reorganization of time dependent master data

I am using reorganization of time dependent master data and it does not merge overlapped period as suggested by SAP. Any suggestions please.

Hi,
you have used the processvariante "reorganization of time dependent master data" in a process chain and it doesn't work?
I don't think so.
1. it works perfekt. so, you can reduce the data in the master data table.
2. you don't have overlapping periods - you have one-after-another time intervals.
=> Please check the attributs again. I think there is a change in one attribut.

Time-dependent master data in the cube and query

Hello,
I have a time-dep. masterdata infoobject with two time-dep attributes (one of them is KF). If i add this infoobject into the cube, what time period SID will be considered during the load? I assume it only matters during load, if i add the KF to the query it gets its value based on the SID in the cube.. right?
Thanks,
vamsi.

If its Time Dependent Master Data object when you run your Master Data if that time any changes to the Master Data that value will be overwrite to the old value you will get the new value. When you run the Query execution the Infocube Master Data infoobject will having the SID that time it will to there it will be displayed at that moved what is the value you have in the Master Data table.
This is what my experience.
Thanks,

Data not uploading in Time dependent Master data Infoobject

Hello All,
I have a master data infoobject for HR entity and have to load data from PSA to that info object.
The HR entity infoobject already have sone data like below:
HR Entity
Version
Date from
Date To
x
A
01.07.2013
31.12.9999
x
A
19.04.2013
30.06.2013
x
A
01.09.2012
18.04.2013
x
A
01.01.2012
31.08.2012
x
A
01.01.1000
31.12.2011
Now the data in PSA is as follows:
HR Entity
Start Date
End Date
X
01.01.2012
18.12.2013
Once I loaded this data to the infoobject, i can not see this value which is the latest value of this HR entity.
Can somebody please explain how the data gets loaded in the time dependent master data infoobject and why this entry is not getting loaded in the info object.
Regards
RK

Hi,
did you activate master data after your load?
You can check also version 'M' records and see if your record is there.
The load went green?
The problem is, that your entry overlaps all exisitng time intervals, which can't be deleted or merged as there may be dependent transactional data. You have first to delete the transactional data for this entity.
Then you can delete the time-dependent data and reoload it from your PSA.
BW will build then correct time intervals.
The easiest is to change the time interval in PSA, see example below:
At the moment the time interval is not accepted. But you can add time intervalls before 31.12.2011 and after 01.07.2013, Then system will create remaiing time intervals, e.g. your new record is:
HR Entity
Start Date
End Date
X
01.08.2013
18.12.2013
Result will be:
HR Entity
Version
Date from
Date To
x
A
19.12.2013
31.12.9999
x
A
01.08.2013
18.12.2013
x
A
01.07.2013
31.07.2013

What is time dependent master data?

Can anybody explain me in detail with an example for time dependent master data?
Thanks in advance.
Sharat.

hi,
the master data value changes with respect to some time characteristics.
say- Salesregion is a char that have sales rep as master data(attribute)
saleregion date from date to              sales rep
sr001        20/10/2007 20/12/2007          Ram
sr002        21/12/2007 12/05/2008          Ram
in the above example Ram is in two sales region in different dates.
these type of attributes were time dependent.
usually time period will be defined in the data range of 01/01/1000 to 31/12/9999.

Modify code to pull the time dependent master data

I fully under stand the suggestion below for the requirement to add the time dependent attribute comp code
thanks fo rthe help but please tell me if there is a way i can modify the abap code and make the user enter the value for the date on which he want to pull th emaster data for company code or keydate to and from and pull the master data, so how will i proceede should i create the variable on 0doc_date and how to modify the code. please help . i have opened another question with same desc as above to assign points
thanks
soniya
The literal within <..> is supposed to be replaced by the actual field name (as I didn't know the fields). In this case, I am changing your code for costcenter/company-code.
data : wa like /bi0/qcostcenter.
select single * from /bi0/qcostcenter into wa
where costcenter = comm_structure-costcenter
and objvers = 'A'
and datefrom le comm_structure-<keydatefield>
and dateto ge comm_structure-<keydatefield>.
if sy-subrc = 0.
result = wa-comp_code.
endif.
abort = 0.
You can use this code for update rule of company_code. You have to replace '<keydatefield>' with a field name that contains the date on which the company is to be derived. If there is a date in your comm_structure (eg aedat) which you can use, you can specify that field in place of this literal (instead of comm_structure-<keydatefld> use comm_structure-aedat). If you have no such field, and you wish to use current date for getting the company code from time-dependent master data, you can use sy-datum (ie replace comm_strucutre-<keydatefld> with sy-datum).
And it should work.
The 'master data attribute' option is one of the options when you create update rule (one of the radio button options).

That the code is doing anyway.
If your txn data in the cube doesn't have a date, how does it know it is Feb data, or, it is March data?
If it has a date or month field, you should modify and use this code to update the company based on that date instead of system date.
Other than that minor variation, it is already doing what you look for.

SAP PP (Production Planning) Master Data Definitions

SAP PP (Production Planning) Master Data Definitions and Transaction codes.

SAP PP (Production Planning) Master Data Definitions
• Factory Calendar
• Material Master
• Resource • Bills of Material (BOM)
• Production versions
• Master recipe
Factory Calendar: The factory calendar is defined on the basis of a public holiday calendar. The public holiday and factory calendar is a central module in the SAP System. It is assigned to a specific plant during the initial system setup and therefore used in many areas (e.g. in Logistics and in Human Resources) in the system.
Material Master: Material master comprises if all the basic data of the material for each department. The data covers all the relevant information required for the transactional flow e.g. sales, Planning, Production, Quality, Purchasing, Costing etc. Material master covers all the descriptive and control data and the flow of information depends on fields maintained within it. The integration of all material data in a single database object eliminates redundant data storage. Material Masters are created once and can be changed or extended whenever required
Bill of Materials: Bill of Materials or commonly called BOM is a formally structured list of components that make up a product or assembly. The list contains the material number of the component together with the quantity and unit of measure. BOMs are used in their different forms in various situations where a finished product is assembled from several component parts or materials. Resources: Resources are production facilities and persons involved in a production process that have capacities. They are subdivided into categories to specify their suitability for certain purposes or their use in certain processes
Product Versions: A production version determines which alternative BOM is used together with which task list/master recipe to produce a material or create a master production schedule. For one material, we can have several production versions for various validity periods and lot-size ranges. The production version determines the following:
• The BOM alternative for a BOM explosion.
• The task list (master recipe) and any alternate, as needed.
• Lot-size restrictions and validity parameters.
Master Recipes: A master recipe defines the following data that is required for the production of materials without relating to a particular order: processing steps, resources, material components, and control information for the process control level. Master Recipe enables to plan the production of materials (products). Therefore, Master Recipe is used as a template for process orders and run schedules as well as a basis for product costing. In a Recipe
• The Phases (work steps) to be carried out during production.
• The activities to be performed in the operations as a basis for determining dates, capacity requirements and costs.
• The use of materials during production.
• The use of resource.

Time Dependency Master Data Load

Hi:
This is my first time to work on time dependency master data. I need help!
I first deleted master data and cleaned up the PSA for material sales.
Then I have turned on the feature of time dependent on the info object for material sales. Save it and activated the object.
Then i have problems by loading the master sales attribute data in PSA. The error is: on every record of material, it has "invalid 'to' date '00/00/0000'" and "invalid 'from' data '00/00/0000'".
Is every process i did wrong? What is the process to work on time dependent master data? and loading the data?
Thank you!!

Hi,
After turning on the time dependence...you get an extra field in the key of the master data table Q table date to and a new field date from as a new field.
These two fields needs to be mapped to date to and date from R/3 source as well.
If there is no source field for these two then you need to make sure to get the values for these fields.
Just check if you are getting any field like that from R/3...right now i think you have left the mappings for these fields as blank.
Thanks
Ajeet

Reporting on Time Dependent Master Date Info Provider

Dear All.
We have a info object Employee which is time dependent master data containing all the information with time dependency, when i create the query over this info object it give me the option to select the key date and it show the accurate information which is lying according to the key date.
my requirement is to show all the records in the report which are there in master data but i am not able to show more then one record cause of the key date, can you please let me know how can i show all the records for any given employee id in the query.

Hello Zeeshan,
By standard if you create query directly on time dependent info object, it would display the active records as of the report execution (if no key date has been provided). In any case you can only see one record per the info object key, not the history.
In order to fulfill this requirement, you may need to create infoset on this infoobject and select "date from" and "date to" as part of infoset fields.
Then create bex query on the infoset and drag the "date from" and "date to" also into "rows" section of the query (apart from infoobject key, time dependent attributes). This will let you see the history of changes to time-dependent attributes of the infoobject.
Cheers,
Vasu

Reporting Need on Time-Dependent Master Data

Hi Gurus, I have asked this question earlier as well but I did not got satisfactory answer so I thought I should open another thread.
I have this time-dependent Master data infoobject. I see that from the 2 extra fields are added DATETO and DATEFROM. I see in the transfer structure that theyare mapped to ENDDA and BEGDA from an R/3 table.
At the reporting level, the InfoProvider doesn't show these 2 fields. I wanted to see how I can make them show up in the InfoProvider so that I can create report using them. Please help me out on this one. Please let me know if I need to clarify this more.
Thnx.

Hi Bigtoja,
Immediately I can suggest 2 options ...
1. Have these two fields as attributes of the info object ... this will make them appear on the info provider.
2. Have an infoset built on it which will act as an info provider.
Adn as far as your question goes ... What I am trying to figure out is ... does making an info object as an info provider exposes only the P table ... since P table will not have Date To and Date From? I will have to research as well ...
Best regards,
Kazmi

Sap bw 7.3 master data load error

sap bw 7.3 master data load error
erroe: Exception in Substep Rules

Hi Jayram,
I am assuming that you are getting this error when you are loading data from PSA to IO. If so, the error might be because of
1. Duplicate records
PSA might have duplicate records. But you will be able to load only one record to Master data IO. In DTP Update tab, there is an option for "Handle Duplicate Record Keys" . Just enable this & try to load again.
2. Erroneous records.
Some special reocrds are allowed in PSA where as thye might not be allowed in Master Data/Data Targets like Lower case letters/ some speacial characters etc. If error is because of this, then you might need to correct the data at PSA level & reload the data to Master data. Else get it corrected in source system itself & fetch the data to BW. Or write some code to take care of these special characters.
Hope it helps!
Regards,
Pavan
