SRM-ECC PO Business Content

We are implementing SRM -EXtended Classic Scenario.
The PO is created in SRM and a copy is sent back to ECC. Therefore PO is avialable in both the SRM & ECC systems to be pulled into BI. In BI we have serperate content available for Procurement Analysis in ECC(based on LO cockpit) and SRM area. (under 0SRM & 0SCM). The contents /data model look very different.
Any benefits/pitfalls in using either of the business content for SRM procurement reporting?
Any ideas anyone

Holger,
Can't you have the iView open up another browser, and within the new page/on lauched brower have the SRM iviews based on user role?

  • Business content - Customer, Business Partner or both

    Hi
    We have a task where we need to decide which business content to choose: Customer or Business Partner. Our current requirements points out that we can fulfill 90% of the requirement by utilizing the Customer information modell in SAP ECC.
    Our MDM scenario (decentralized MDM strategy) looks like this:
    Customer created in SAP ECC and then sent via SAP PI to SAP MDM. From SAP MDM the customer data is then distributed to SAP CRM and other non-SAP systems.
    Should we utilize both the business content (Customer, Business Partner) in SAP MDM as templates since the business content for Customer is based on ECC and business content for Business Partner is based on SAP CRM. If so I assume that we need to create a syndication to the Business Partner repository for each customer created in the Customer repository. Then we need to initiate a syndication to SAP CRM from the Business Partner repository. Is it better in this scenario to have Customer- and Business Partner in the same repository?
    So two questions based on the above input:
    Which Business content to use Business Partner, Customer or both?
    Should they be in separate repositories or in the same? (I understand that by keeping them in the same we create a more tight connection so that if you want to make changes in the Customer repository we need to unload the repository and thereby also influencing the Business Parter related harmonization processes).

    Hello Göran,
    Customer created in SAP ECC and then sent via SAP PI to SAP MDM.
    From SAP MDM the customer data is then distributed to SAP CRM and other non-SAP systems.
    I would suggest to consider Centralized MDM strategy (Still like to know the thought behind Decentralized MDM Strategy).
    Customer should be created first in SAP MDM and then it should be syndicated to other systems.
    Benefits of having Centralized MDM strategy are...
    1. You can differentiate between potential Customers and Actual Customer by implementing Approval process.
    2. You can use MDM key strength, that is Match & Merge feature which help avoiding duplicates.
    3. You cat get most out of SAP MDM using Centralized MDM strategy.
    Which Business content to use Business Partner, Customer or both?
    Depends on your business need.
    Should they be in separate repositories or in the same?
    Having them in two independent repositories will be beneficial, because...
    1. For avoiding tight connection (as you stated)
    2. You can use SAP Business Content very well.
    3. Repositories created based on SAP Business Content will be flexible from long term perspective (Upgrade, Maintenance etc).

  • SRM Business Content

    Hi All,
    I would like to know the infosource of 0SR_C01 procurement overview(aggregated) cube. while on help.sap it shows 0SR_MC01 as a multiprovider for 0SR_C01. But could not find the infosource for the same.
    I would also like to know if anyone has the list of content infocubes and their infosources for SRM. Please share it with me.

    DataSources
    New DataSources have been created for NW 2004s BI Content Add-On 2 and SRM 5.0. These are described here, along with their extraction logic.
    The following graphic shows the data flow from the DataSources to the DataStore objects
    Structure
    Each DataSource has an extraction structure and a data extractor. Generally, this is an RFC-capable function module.
    There are two types of extraction: Specific extraction and generic extraction:
    Specific extraction is strongly oriented towards the data model of the BI System and the necessary extract structure. It executes DataSource-specific processing steps.
    The logic contained within the generic extraction is implemented centrally and can therefore be reused by the specific extraction modules. The generic extraction deals with access to the SRM database and is similar for each DataSource.
    Generic and specific extraction
    Extraction logic in detail
    Data extraction involves the following six function modules:
    InitLoad
    InitLoad is called as soon as an initial upload is started in the BI System. In other words, it is executed when data is loaded into the BI System for the first time. The module can restrict the data extraction according to filter criteria that were defined in BI during extraction (for example, extract the data for a particular timeframe). InitLoad packages the data before it is transferred to the BI System.
    DeltaLoad
    DeltaLoad is called when a document is modified in the SRM System. The module writes data that has accumulated since the initial loading to a delta queue.
    Data Collector
    The Collector reads the required data from the database in the source system. For performance reasons, the data is then buffered in system-internal tables. The tables have the same structure as in the database. This saves time and effort, because data conversion is kept to a minimum.
    Data Consolidator
    The Consolidator groups data that belongs together from a business point of view. The consolidated data is stored in internal tables and is prepared for further processing.
    Data Normalizer
    The Denormalizer prepares the source data for the BI System. It calculates key figures that are required for the report but are not contained on the database and converts data types in the source system to data types of the BI System. Depending on the BI data model, the system now decides how each row is filled with data.
    Data Mapper
    During mapping of the data, the system defines which fields of the denormalized data structure are assigned to the fields of the extract structure. In this way, flat and one-dimensional lines are generated from the data.
    The following table shows the technical names of the function modules of the individual DataSources:
    Description
    0SRM_TD_PO
    0SRM_TD_CF
    0SRM_TD_IV
    0SRM_TD_PO_ACC
    InitLoad
    BBP_BI_PO_EXTRACT

  • Business Content for SRM 5.0 in SP9

    Hi All,
    We have BI_CONT release 702 with Level 0005. But when I try to install the transformations or any new objects like DTP, I'm not able to find many of those in Business Contents. Are these objects not yet delivered with the standard content? Do anyone have any official information on this or any OSS Note? Any planned release dates?
    Also any information on existing contnts for SRM 5.0
    Thanks in advance
    Amit

    Hi,
    But i know from the documentation of SRM 5.0 --> master Guide --->   It has been mentioned as follows
    1) THE SRM 5.0 CONFIGURATION DOCUMENTATION IS DELIVERED WITH THE  ST-ICO  150 CONTENT SHIPMENT FOR SOLUTION MANAGER
    2) SOLUTION MANAGER CONTENT REPLACES THE BUSINESS SCENARIO CONFIGURATION GUIDES , WHICH WERE DELIVERED WITH EARLIER SRM SHIPMENTS
    3) THE USE OF SOLUTION MANAGER IS MANDATORY FOR MYSAP SRM 5.0
    4) if you have a look at the Master guide for SRM 5.0 ---> there is one seperate section  available --->
    1.2 Solution Manager ---> which gives more details of the solution manager and its content.

  • Installing Business content in SRM

    Hi,
    I am trying to bring data from SRM to BW basically for contract management and vendor evaluation.Someone has already done Transfer Component Hierarchy.But this is all under <b>nodesnotconnected</b>.And most of them dont have text.What can I do to get back the text and datasources are under proper nodes instead of <b>nodesnotconnected</b>.
    2.I have datasources under these nodes TCT-MON-IO,TCT-MON and TCT.All these relate to metadata. Do I have to transfer all these datasources to BW or how should I go about it.
    Thanks,
    Kal

    Kal
    First you have to install application components and Infoareas and then activate all business content by selecting before and then after. It should take care of your issue.

  • Business Content for Bill Up transaction in CRM system

    To all Experts,
    I'm currently working on a project that requires Bill Up transactional data ( Source Table: CMSD_BU ) to flow from CRM to BW system. I'm looking for Business Content that can fulfill this requirement. However, till to date, I couldn't find any information of such Business Content. I'm not sure if such BC exist. Can anyone help if you have experience implement this data flow?
    When searching for the DataSource / Extractor, I found BW Extract Structure CMST_BU_BW and CMST_BU_BW_C in the CRM system. But couldn't find any DataSource for both extract structure. Not sure if we need to install any support pack in order make the BC available in the system. Please help if you have any idea. 
    Thanks in advance.

    In Business content tab , I have set Grouping Option as Only necessary Objects , and Collection Mode as automatically and selected the Cube : 0SD_C03 through Object Type in Business Content tab. Clicked on INSTALL option . I am getting many errors like :
    Activation of Objects with Type InfoObject
        Checking InfoObject 0MATERIAL
           Attribute 0RT_SEAROLL from characteristic 0MATERIAL not (actively) available
           Hierarchy characteristic 0CM_CDT1 of characteristic 0MATERIAL is not active
    Like this I am getting 0VENDOR,0PLANT , 0CM_CTAR, 0CM_CDT1...infoobjects not actively available. I have tried Installing individual Infoject , still it is failing with same Issues.

  • SEM business content

    Can anyone give some advice on the following: SEM 4.0 has been installed on our ECC 5.0 system. In client 000 many planning areas exists, however in the working client 020 none.
    How do I activate the business content in the working client?
    Kind regards,
    John.

    Hi Sat,
    The link you provided deals with activating Business Content in BW, but I have checked that and all cubes and queries have been activated successfully.
    But I didn't mean the business content in BW, but in ECC (more specific: the planning areas in BPS).
    Any ideas?

    Why I am getting this error message
    Thanks

    Roshan, Try the following steps again
    1) Activate the Datasource in LBWE on ECC.
    2) Replicate the Datasources.
    3) Find the datasource and try to edit it. If the infosource is not installed it will try to install again.

  • Identifying business content based on requirements from Functional Doc

    Hi everyone,
    I have a requirement to create technical documents from functional documents that I have received. The funct. docs describe the report to be created however, the fields that the user is looking for are basically in plain English (or atleast what the user sees in Peoplesoft). We are implementing SAP and everything is to be converted from Peoplesoft. The fields are as follows:
    Year, YTD, Month, Company Code, Cost Center, GL Account #, GL Account name, Report Date, Actual Amount, Budget Amount, Variance Amount.
    The functional doc I feel is incomplete since we dont have the source system table and field names in ECC that correspond to the users fields. Anyway, I think the idea at the moment is to create a first draft TD using Business Content. Can someone please tell me what area they think these fields are from? It looks like FI. Does anyone know of any Business Content objects that may contain the some of the users fields (chances of finding all in say one cube may not be high, am I right?). I am new to BI, so please spell everything out in simple terms and a step-by-step manner. I really appreciate the input of all the experts on this forum.
    Thanks. <removed by moderator>.

    yes MD you are on the right track
    But I would advise you to use the ASAP methodology and run blueprint workshops first before even approaching technical specs
    If you dont know how the R3 system is structured how can you build a tech spec?
    In the workshop there will be functional R3 guys as well as BW consultants and the clients
    The clients bring their high level requirements to the table and everybody dicusses it
    What you dont want to do is assume that std R3 objects are going to be in place
    With the exampel you have given - this may be the only place where budgets have been discussed - the FI guys havent catered for it - so how are you goign to deliver it
    I have given you the content areas in my last post I would expect the data to be in - I would suggest you go to the BI content area of help.sap.com and look for each of the areas I have given
    Unfortunately there is not enough space here and I dont have enough time to step you through it step by step - thats what Principal BW consultants and architects on your projects are for - talk to them.
    If you haven't got any - I suggest your project manager better go out quickly and hire some.
    I would strongly advise you to gointo solution manager or sdn and grab hold of the latest ASAP accelerators and ppts - they will help guide you through functional requirements gathering - btu to be quite honest you shoudln't be doing this yourself if you are new to BW
    (oh and every wondered why clients pay top dollar for good BW consultants - this is the reason why)

  • Treasury Business content

    Hi SDN,
    I have to create BI reports based on Treasury module - Cash management, Liquidity planning
    I have installed business content DS, Infocubes and loaded data from R/3. But I am not seeing any relevant data required for reporting. And also I don't see data coming into Liquidity planning cube at all.
    Do we have to create generic DS to get required results? If that is the case, why do we have these Business content anyway?
    Did anyone work on Treasury module; can someone please guide me on this?
    Thanks,
    Dev

    Hi Kumar,
    when you say, "I am not seeing any relevant data required for reporting" do you mean no data is loading to cube or you are not seeing data in reports?
    If there is records loaded to cube, please check the data in Listcube transaction and run the reports for the time period or any other filters you may have on the report, matching the data in Listcube.
    For Liquidity planning data, please check the RSA3 transaction in ECC to make sure you have data in ECC.
    Good luck,
    vijay

  • Changes In Business Content and Extractors after r/3 upgrade

    Hi All,
    We are in the process of upgrading from R/3 4.0b to ECC 6.0.
    with the BW system bein upgraded to BI 7.0
    Question.
    What changes would occur for the business content and extractors after the R/3 upgrade.
    Thanks in advace.
    Regards,
    Nikhil.S

    Hi Nikhil
    The datasources remain same, U can migrate them in BI side from 3.5 to 7.0 using RSDS -tcode.
    All extractors remains same, Well it again depends on the service packs u r using.
    Now the latest for BI is service pack 17 and for Business content patch is Patch 10.
    U can find new datasources like 0FI_GL_14 and 0FI_GL_40 and many other queries.
    In BI side
    1.If you have update rules you will have to create transformations and there is no shortcut here ..if there are routines you will have to write them as well and change the syntax as some of the old syntax of 3.x is no more valid in BI 7.
    2.Data loading concept changes as you can bypass the Infosource(but in few places you will need it actually like when you are directly loading from datasource to target and you want to read master data).
    3.DTPs will be required..changes in the Process chains for the same.
    4.Datasources need migration(first emulate them and test whether the Bi 7 loaidng is working or not otherwise if you migrate you will loose your transfer rule.
    Reward if helped
    thanks

    Hi,
    Check the relevant Datasource for your Infocube in help.sap.com. Install from RSA5 and RSA6 in ECC side.

  • Active transactional datasources not listed in business content collection

    Dear experts,
    for SRM bidding engine i have activated the extractors in SRM through transaction RSA5 and put them on a transport. Replicated them in BW and their they are appearing correctly, activated them and provided infopackages.
    Now when i want to activate Business Content SRM role SAP_BW_SRM_ACT_BE and after grouping look for the transactional datasources, they are not listed in the list of objects (grouped 'before and after', collection 'automatic').
    1.Is this normal and do i need to make the links between datasources and infosouces myself after activating the role?
    2.or does it normally installs the entire flow correctly?
    Also weird - my datasources are BI7.0 and some of my BW SRM content is from older 3.x version, containng infosources and communications structures. Can this be the reason why Business Content grouping does not find the datasources?
    Regards,
    Steven

    Hi,
    looked at the note but did not provide more info as i already applied what is written in the note.
    This role for bidding engine after I have put it into the collective window, among the other objects it will activate it does not list the datasources of the transactional data, nor the links to the infosources.
    Installing it like this will require me to connect the datasources manually to the dataflow, which i want to avoid.
    Is there a way to make BW connect the transactional datasources of SRM Bidding Engine connect automatically with the business content BW flow of Bidding Engine? this i though would be done by collecting it (before and after), grouping (automatically).
    Regards,
    steven
