Time dependent HR master data question

Hello,
I want to compare the two records ( Current record with the most recent delimited record) for pay rate for an employee. 0EMPLOYEE does not have DATETO or DATEFROM in its attribute list. Furthermore, I can not add DATETO as an attribute since the system does not allow it. How can I evaluate these two records to see the percentage increase.
Your thoughts are much appreciated.
Thank you.

Hello Siggi,
Thanks for your respond.
I am using BW3.5 and for 0materia there are lots of attributes and for every attributes there is a "time dependent" click. Do I have to click all of them? Can you explain the theory behind that?
Mater data will be maintained respectively if I can change it to time- dependent.
Thank you very much,
Adeel

What is time dependent / independent master data ? what impact it has

Hi All,
Please let me know what is time dependent / independent master data ? what impact it has on the data.
Kindly suggest .
Regards,
Sushmita

Hi Sushmita,
I will expain to you by taking an example.
Suppose you have customer and that customer have location as attribute.
So this customer may change from one location to another location from time to time so here you have to maintain time dependent master data for this customer.
You have to maintain below like this
Customer   from_data   to_date    location.
c100          01/9/2008     12/12/2008   bang
c100          13/12/2008    22/1/2009    Hyd
Hope it helps.

Time-dependency in master-data

Good mornging BW-community
I still have a problem during my query. I have time-dependent master-data (an item infoObject with it's corresponding price as an attribute) and want to show the item prices depending on the date of sale on my bill. I can put a "key-date" in my query-properties, but that delivers only the price to that date. I would like to have the price determined by the date of sale saved in 0CALDAY in my cube. What do I have to enter in the query-properties?

Hello Jochen Schmitz ,
You can write routine in update rule which fetches values from master data info object and collect it into ODS as per bill date.
The code in update rule should like this ..
select price into lv_price from /bic/table "table containting time dependent master data
 where material = /bic-material
 and billdate >= datefrom
 and billdate<= dateto.
Hope that helps.

Time dependent employee master data reading !in sap-bw

Hi,

Hi,
Why do you want to delete ?
No need to delete any Master Data
If you want to really delete ,you can do one thing
Right click on Master data Info Object 0EMPLOYEE
select Delete master data
And reload Master data for employee with full load

Time-dependent Vendor Master & Handling Special Characters

Hi,
I need to extract time-dependent Vendor Master.
1. The data source for 0VENDOR does not have fields to hold the valid date range.
2. Does the Master data in R/3 for Vendors will hold the valid date range?
3. The text for 0VENDOR provides time-dependent, but how to map the valid from and valid to fields?
Handling Special Characters:
We are trying to extract data from Legacy system via DB Connect. The item text field consists of special characters. Of course in BW customization we can specify all the special characters to consider. But the special character we observed is 'square' symbol i.e. 'new line character' in Oracle. We are updating this to an ODS object. When looked at error log, observed that green light for the number of records transferred and updated, but finally when it load into ODS object and activates popping up the error message saying 'could not recognize special character'.
Please help me getting the 2 issues resolved.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sudhakar.

Hi Everyone,
Thanks for inputs on Special characters issue...
Finally resolved with below piece of code in the start routine:
DATA: FLAG,
 OFF TYPE I,
 LEN TYPE I VALUE 1,
 ALLOWED_CHAR(95) VALUE
'0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ`~!@#$%^&*()-_=+ ' &
'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz:;<>,.?/|\{}[]"'''.
CONSTANTS: C_CHAR VALUE '-'.
LOOP AT DATA_PACKAGE WHERE NOT /BIC/ZI_DESC IS INITIAL .
 DO.
 IF DATA_PACKAGE-/BIC/ZI_DESC CN ALLOWED_CHAR.
 REPLACE SECTION OFFSET SY-FDPOS LENGTH LEN OF
 DATA_PACKAGE-/BIC/ZI_DESC WITH C_CHAR.
 FLAG = SPACE.
 ELSE.
 FLAG = 'X'.
 ENDIF.
 IF FLAG = 'X'.
 EXIT.
 ENDIF.
 ENDDO.
 MODIFY DATA_PACKAGE.
ENDLOOP.
if abort is not equal zero, the update process will be canceled
ABORT = 0.
I have seen the link sent by 'Eugene Khusainov' today. Thought putting my piece of code that may help others...

Attributes of Time Dep. Master data getting overwritten

Hi,
I've one Time dependent master data 0PERSON, which gets data from Flat file and R3.
We first load from flat file and then from R3.
Now consider this:
Say for Person ID '123', flat file has "address" attribute as ABC. I load it and it gets loaded successfully.
But after R3 load for same Person ID i.e. '123', "address" attribute gets overwritten with R3 values e.g XYZ. Even though the time fields are non-overlapping.
I.e. I've now two records in 0PERSON for different time periods (as expected), but with same "address" values. I could not understand why R3 data is overwriting flat file data?
Could anyone help me in this.
Regards,
Vikrant.

Hi Eugene, Dinesh,
I think we missed one point here, attributes themselves can be time-dependent or time-independent.. even though the master data characteristic itself can be time-dependent.
What this means, is that for same Person ID.. time-dependent attributes will have different values (i.e. in our case by Flat file or R3).. but time-independent attributes will get overwritten by the last load.. whether R3 or Flat file.
And this is what happening in my case.. my last load is from R3, which is overwriting Flat file data.. and too only for time-independent attributes !!
Correct me if my analysis is wrong.
Thanks for spending time on this,.
Regards,
Vikrant.

Master Data question - Resource Master

Hi,
Got some master data related questions on Resource master. I am kind of relatively new to APO and trying to understand master data fields and functionalities. Can someone please explain me in layman terms with a small easily understandable example,
1)     What is the difference between time continous capacity and bucket capacity?
2)     What and where do we use u201Cexternal capcityu201D? I read somewhere that if we check box the external capacity, then APO uses capapity from R/3. What difference does it make if capacity used from R/3 or bring it over to APO and use it from APO? When u check box the u201Cexternal capcityu201D you are already bringing the resource to APO. So what is the use of using the capacity from r/3?
3)     A Multi activity resource has a capacity of 8 hrs per day. For example a resource has 5 lathes and u can carry 5 different activities/operations at the same time on this resource. So every lathe has 8 hrs of capacity, that means the overall capcity is 5*8 = 40 hrs???? and where are we specifiying number of lathes u201C5u201D in the resource master?
4)     What is the advantage of deriving bucket capacity from time continous, than directly defining bucket capacity?
Thanks
Appreciate your help..

SCM,
I will today work on your question 1. As time permits, if Sri Mathur cannot respond, I will then attack the another question later.
1) what I am trying to understand here is..bucket capacity is 1 day minimum. that means 24 hours of capacity????? if yes, then time continuous capacity can be equal to bucket capacity if no breaks. if breaks are there then it is less than bucket capacity?
If one operation takes 2 hrs then that means, 1 SNP bucket capacity can hold 12 such operations??? Really confused.
Buckets can have any amount of capacity. For instance, if you define a capacity as a Daily bucket, you can further define it to have less than 24 hours of capacity. The difference is that the system manages this capacity as a single chunk.
Lets say I have a time-continuous capacity, which starts at 8:00 and ends at 16:00. It has 8 hours of capacity available. If I am consuming capacity with, say, a planned order operation, the system will check whether the capacity is available, and when it is available. So, the first planned order op that begins capacity consumption at 8:00 AM and consumes one hour of capacity will normally use the 8:00A-9:00A block of capacity. If I am capacity leveling and dispatching, then no other order will be allowed to consume capacity during this time period (8A-9A).
Now let us consider the same resource, but configured as a single day bucket. I still have 8 hours of capacity. However, when I create a planned order to consume capacity, it only checks whether I have enough available left in the entire bucket. The same first planned op order mentioned above, could be scheduled for 8A-9A, and would also consume 1 hour of capacity. This cap consumption is not 'from 8A to 9A', but is '1 hour out of the bucket of 8 available'. The next production order could also be scheduled for 8A-9A, and pass a capacity availability check, because there are 7 hours still available in the bucket. 8 1-hour planned order ops could be scheduled from 8A-9A, and still pass the cap check.
Time continuous cap consumption becomes very important if you are doing detailed sequencing of your orders, as is normally done in PP/DS. SNP, which is usually less detailed, is more likely to use bucketed caps (with many exceptions!!).

Time Stamp against Master Data

Hi,
Is there any BADI to identify when (date & time) the master data field updated individually.
Example: "ABC" company is having 2 user interfaces to update the Master Data a) CRM Call Centre and b) Disconnected Mobile Client (Mobile Client will down load the full customer master data from CRM, before Sales Professional goes to market). In Mobile Client disconnected mode Sales Professional can update customer master record, updated full customer master record will be loaded back to CRM in every 3 days. Example - for customer "X" Sales Professional changed contact number (eg: old contact number = 1234 and changed to = 2345) on 2009/09/17 at 10:00 am, which will be uploaded back to CRM on 2009/09/20 at 10:00 am. Customer "X" called ABC's Call Centre on 2009/09/18 at 14:00 and requested to update his new contact number (old contact number = 1234 to new contact number = ABCD, which could be different from the one he requested with Sales Professional). Problem is when the data uploaded from disconnected mobile client - will over ride the contact number from ABCD to 2345, even if I upload full record or only changed field. How can I set the system to check the each field updated date and time to compare with the date and time of each field uploaded from disconnected mobile client??? and keep or update the customer master record with latest field value(s)....
Your kind assistance will be highly appreciated....
Cheers,
Peter J.

Hi Gurus,

For this long running data load we didnt find any short dumps and no locks available on SM12 also.
Please help on this.
Thanks,
Sankar.

Can we know what kind of data source is this. attribute or text data source.
what is data volume? its less or more?
Actually we load direct access data thru dtp(No psa) into info objects for text data sources where have less data only.
While running your dtp is any attribute change run for the same info object ot any transactional loads are happening?
Is this happens on particular day or weekend or anydays?
Thanks

Report on Real Time Cube and Master data

Dear Experts,
I am new to BI. I have created real time cube using some characteristics and top of that I built 3 reports with referring to Master data.
And in the 3 reports, I have used different characteristics for all the report expect one ( common in all the reports).
Now I have to create consolidated report using all the characteristics. I have build some sample reports but getting not assigned where there is no data.
How can I achieve this?
Thanks in advance,

Flat file: loading Master data questions

Hi Experts,
1
If I have a flat file with columns, Columns1, Columns2, Columns3, and we load this manually to an ODS monthly.
a.
Where in BW can I see the exact match to the columns, Columns1, Columns2, Columns3?
b.
What will be the effect of receiving the flat file from the user this month if the columns are not in the usual order e.g. Columns3, Columns2, Columns1?
2..
I have an Info Object CustCode_10, check with Text (Medium description) and it also has an attribute CustDispl_11.
a.
What should be the format of the flat file in order to get in the Master data?
b.
After loading a flat file, I can go to the infoobject CustCode_10, right click and select Maintain Master to see the master data. How do I see the data in the Attribute.?
Thanks

Hi,
for 1 a) you can see the exact order in the maintain Transfer rules section, where in you can check in the transfer structure.
b) if you give it in the wrong order, wrong data will be loaded if all the 3 colums has same data type and length. or else you will get an error while updating.
2) a) The flat file should contain like Key, Language and description.

Pricing config/master data question

In pricing master data how do we control which fields show at the header & which show in the grid below?
So, for example, the access sequence contains Sales Organization/Distribution Channel/Division/Sold-to party. How do we get the Division & Sold-to party to display in the grid in VK11 instead of at the header?
thanks for the assistance!

goto t.code V/05 and select the table that are used in the access sequence.Then click on the technical view button on the top.In the next screen you can find details on which filed needs to appear in Key and which in footer. Make the division and sold-to party in the footer field and save.
Regards,

Master data question

Hello
Is there a standard field to store the vendor assigned customer number (to our company) in the master data? If so, what is the name of the field?
Thanks

Dear,
There is no field provided by SAP specifically, but you can use the field Prev.acct. no. under the reference data in the Accounting Information section....
Table is - LFB1
Field is - ALTKN
so screen field name is LFB1-ALTKN
