Time-Dependent Data in InfoPackage

Hi, Experts,
I tried to load CO Master Data from R/3, I got some issues as follow:
1. In the InfoPackage creating, what is the meaning of Time-Dependent Data, How can I know what are the properly value range I should entry.
2. After I excuted the Infopackage, I got red color in Monitor, I checked the PSA, some of the data's status were green, some were red which the system said that the records time overlapped, but I couldn't verify this is true anymore. Could you please give me some idea?
By the way , does any body have the documents associated with BW-SD including extraction, Business Content and query design. Thanks a lot

Hi Ryan,
Time-dependent data means data varies from time to time. For example one employee may work in US from Aug - Feb and in Canada from Mar - Jul. Then to maintain such data you have to declare them as time-dependent.
Time-dependent data has date-from and date-to fields. In your case the date-from and date-to have multiple entries thats the reason for the error.
Bye

Infopackage time dependant data fixed time interval

Hi,
I have issue with infopackage. When I tried to load the master data attribute itu2019s not loading the changed data.When I checked the infopackage it has update tab and in this time dependant data section,it was marked as fixed time interval.The changed data in R/3 actually falls under the interval what was entered in the fixed time interval period.But it was not extracted.
I found that if we enter the exact specific dates interval in the fixed time interval,it fetches data.But we canu2019t enter each dates interval for all changed data in R/3. It needs to fetch all the data.When I try to remove the fixed time interval,it is not allowing as it is mandatory field.
Please suggest me how to fetch all the records for time dependant data.I tried other options like routine and variables.But it doesnu2019t work and it is fetching data only if we enter the exact dates interval.

Ramana

There is nothing to do with PL/SQL.

Time dependent data load to BW using Fixed Time Interval selection

Hi,
I'm facing a problem in extracting time-dependent master data to BW. I would really appreciate if anyone can help in this regard.
We have a table in R/3 which has time-dependent data. For example, for a single OBJID we could have multiple records with different BEGDA/ENDDA and different attributes. When we try to load this data into BW InfoObject, we see a time-dependent data selection in update tab of infopackage. We need to select BEGDA/ENDDA in datasource since otherwise during loads we would get a "DUPLICATE RECORDS" load error in BW.
The problem is when we enter a Fixed-time interval Start Data and End Date in the InfoPackage, only the records with that StartDate and EndDate are loaded. Ideally I would want to see all the records whose BEGDA/ENDDA falls in the range of StartDate and EndDate.
I tried modifying the ROOSFIELD table for the data source. I made the BEGDA SELOPTS as GE(16) and ENNDA SELOPTS as LE(64). But still it doesn't seem to work. I checked if the change to ROOSFIELD has any affect in RSA3. Unless we give a range for BEGDA it doesn't seem to behave as expected. Could someone let me know how I can load all records to BW whose BEGDA/ENDDA fall in the range of StarteDate and EndDate.
Thanks,
Anil.

Anil,
If you are using a custom dataSource, make sure the dataSource fields for begda and ennda are labeled "datefrom" and "dateto".

Restriction of Time-dependent data (Cost Center) according to a specific role

Dear experts,
Has some one of you implemented a functionality to restrict Time-dependent data (for example, Cost Center) edition, according to a specific role assigned to an End user?
I imagine it is possible, but we should develop an User-exit in order to get this goal.
Let your comments here if possible, so that I can argue with my End user. I will try to give you points if you help me with this query.
Thanks & Kind Regards,
Daniel.

Hello All!
We have talked to Authorizations specialist and he indicated a customizing transaction in FI-AA module called ANSICHT (IMG -> Financial Accounting -> Asset Accounting -> Preparing for Production Startup -> Authorization Management -> Process Asset Views). In this customizing, it is possible to edit an existing asset view and turn on/off fields according to the company needs.
Afterwards, you should request some adjustment in the roles that contain the A_A_VIEW authorization object.
I am considering this question as "assumed answered'.

Daniel

Time Dependent InfoObject and InfoPackages

Hi There,
I did create a time-dependent infoobject ( bI7 object) however the timeframe in the infopackage does not show-up meaning I can not restrict the load _ unless I define the dateto and datefrom as selection when I create the datasource in R/3 ... Any explanation ? is it a BI7 feature ?
Cheers,
Erik.

With Time-dependent InfoOject, it is usually possible to restrict in the tab "Upadate" the FROM and TO date from the extraction. Usually the default value when you create the infopackage is TODAY for FROM and 31.12.9999 for TO.
In my case, when I create the infopackage these options do NOT appear in the screen. ....
What is the reason for that ? Is there a reason for that ?
Cheers,
Erik

Change to cost center in time dependent data. Can I rerun depreciation YTD?

I need to change the cost center in October (Period 10) Period 9 and prior are already closed. I thought that since I put the Interval for the new cost center as 1/1/11 that it might do and adjustment in October reversing the depreciation posted for the old cost center and put the YTD depreciation in the new cost center, but it did not. it only posted the current month depreciation to the new cost center. Is there any way to do this? Thank you very much.

Hi. Thanks for your reply. I went into the ABAA screen, but I am afraid to process this transaction because I do not understand what is going to happen. I cannot find any documentation that explains this. I have already changed the cost center on the asset and run depreciation. It posted the current month depreciation to the new cost center, but it did not make a correction to the prior periods. I am not creating a new asset, i just want to reclass the prior months depreciation (in the current year) to the new cost center. In case it will help I provide some details:
Asset acquired 5/1/11 Depreciation posted to Cost Center A From May - Sept $1,796.06 per month x 5 = $8,980.30
Before posting Oct depreciation, I went to Master Data - Time Dependent - and changed the cost center as of 1/1/11. So I now have two intervals: From 1/1/1900-Cost Center A, and From 1/1/11 - Cost Center B. I then ran the regular depreciation for Oct. It posted Oct Depreciation of $1,796.06 to the new Cost Center-Cost Center B. My total YTD depreciation is now $10,776.36, but it is split between two cost centers. I need to move the depreciation from Cost Center A to Cost Center B for the prior months. If it was a Journal Entry, I would do it as follows in the month of October, so my YTD numbers would be correct.
Debit Depreciation Cost Center B $8,980.30
Credit Depreciation Cost Center A $8,980.30
Then when I run my October numbers it would show zero depreciation in Cost Center A Year To Date (and negative 8,980.30 in month of October)
If i follow the steps you propose, what would be the result? Thanks so much!

Need to understand HR Time-dependent data

Hi All,
I am trying to understand how time-dependent master data works with fact table/infocubes.
Suppose I have a simple cube with infoObject: 0EMPLOYEE, 0HRPOSITION. And the data are as follows:
0EMPLOYEE..............0HRPOSITION
300............................101
Futhermore, my 0HRPOSITION master data is time dependent with an attribute of 0FUND and the master data are as follows:
START-DATE....END-DATE.....HRPOSITION...FUND
01/01/2006........05/15/2006....101..................A
05/16/2006........12/31/9999....101..................B
And if I were write a query against the cube to show the Employee #, the Position #, and the Fund, I would expect the query result as follows:
300.....101....A
300.....101....B
However, my actual query result is only one row. Why?
Please any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
BQ

BQ,
Since it is timedependent master data, it will show only one record that active record.( because current system date will align with only one entry in 0HRPOSITION )

Master data records for time dependant data

Hi
In R/3. say master data has 1500 records. In BW, while loading this, i get the same number of records in monitor.
But when i check the maintain master data for this info object, I find each row being duplicated. The difference being the valid to and valid from date. The info object is time dependant.
So my question is: this adjustment done...is it ok continuing forward or do we change something now so that i dont see duplicate rows?
Thanks in advance
AR

hi,
everything is ok here (I assume you have timeframes for e.g.: 01.01.1000 - 27.12.2005 and 28.12.2005 - 31.12.9999).
If you are working on developement system now - change something time-dependent in your master data tommorow (in your source system) and extract delta. Two new periods will be created and you will have 3 records, e.g.: 01.01.1000 - 27.12.2005 , 28.12.2005 - 28.12.2005 and 29.12.2005 - 31.12.9999.

Getting latest record from time dependent data in DSO

Hi folks,
I have a standard DSO that is built on top off a time-dependent object. Users don't need the daily history and the last entry of the month will suffice so we are only going to have 1 record per month at the most for the object. The standard dso object key thus contains the infoobject key and Calendar month which is derived from the 'From Date' of the infoobject.
The users will running queries on this dso based on the Calendar month. So for the months, where record is available - it is a simple query. But get te data for the month where data is not available.
Example:
Key           Month
123           Jan 2014
123           Jun 2014
So when the user runs the report for either of Feb/Mar/Apr/May 2014, the Jan 2014 record should show up.
For anything June 2014 onwards, the Jun 2014 record should show up.
Thanks for your suggestions!

To month should be a part of data fields lets understand the behavior roughly with the above quoted example.
Initial load to dso :
123           Jan 2014        Dec 9999
now change happens in master data new data record created with the to date fixed to 31.12.9999 and old record to date less than the from value of new record.Correct!
Next load from master data to DSO.
123           Jan 2014        May 2014
123           Jun 2014        Dec 9999
So what happened in this case that based on the employee and To month as key first record will get overwritten and new record will be appended as well.
And rest you can handle at BEx level.
Hope this works.
Regards,
AL

Moving time-dependant data from one table to another (archiving)

Hello all
I would like to know if there's an easier solution or a "best practice" to move data from one table to another. The context of this issue can be found within "archiving".
More concretely: we have an application that uses several tables to log information to.
These tables are growing like crazy, and we would like to keep only "relevant" data in those tables, so I was thinking about moving data from these tables that have been in there for, say 2 months, to "archiving" tables.
I figured there must be some kind of "best practice" to get this done.
I have already written a procedure that loops the table that has the time indicator and inserts the records from the normal tables into the archive tables (and afterwards delete this data), but it seems to be taking ages to get it done.
Thanks in advance!

Change of time dependent data

Hi Experts,
I have a cocode,for which BA financial statements are activated and also cross co code cost accounting is activated.
we are using dep area 31 .
for this company code time independent organisational units is activated.
the issue:
When i change the Cost center in the master data,a new doc is created.but when i see in asset explorer and click on a transaction to see the doc i found LC2 currency(2nd local currency) is not updating.
other info:
the two cost centers(old and new) were assigned the same co code.cost center currency is sa me as co code currency.
exchange rates were maintained.when i see in the header data of teh doc i can see teh translation rate also.
what could be the reasons for not updating the LC2 column.

Hi,
Is area 31 set up for the 2nd local currency? We need to have a depreciation area set up for 2nd local currency.
Thanks

Constructing a View into time dependant data

1. I have a table with data like this:
PersonID
DateTime
Temperature
Pressure
2. I want to build a view into this table so that it shows up as follows:

Upload time-dependent master data

Hi Experts,
I want to upload on a monthly base time dependet master data.
a) What it is the correct way to do so? I use a infopackage with full upload from source system and a data-tranfer-process with delta modus from PSA to info-object.
b) In case I need to repeat an upload for a preavious month due to changed data base. What is the process to do so?
Best Regards and Greeting from Germany,
Thorsten

Hi,
the flow is same as it is with time independent infoobjects.
In case of time dependent data the most important thing is the data which is coming from the data source since the key fields of the infoobject always contain "valid to" infoobject.
So when ever u try to load the data just make sure that you are not loading records with overlapping validity that is valid to and valid from range should not overlap or it will fail.
Also as you have asked it works normally in case of delta if the source is generating it properly.
Also if you want to repeat the load from previous month for the changes then u just need to schedule the delta.Just make sure that your data source is delta enabled and it bringing only changed data from source.
Thanks
Ajeet

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

01.07.2013
