Transactional Data vs. Master Data

I need to implement a BW but I have the following question;
Imagine I have Master Data like:
Material:
Materialname
Materialgroup
Time:
Month
Year
Costumer
Name
Town
Region
On the other hand I have transactional data:
Sales
Amount
I wonder how do I get td and md data connected? I guess I have my master data in characteristics and the transactional data in an dso.
But when combining them into an InfoCube how does the info cube get the information how sales is connected to material?
Or do I fill up my DSO with the Material number also?
I wonder how would the upload files look like for master data and then for transactional data? I don't have any example here..

when the master data has been delivered time dependend
I create an upload for master data und i deliver a time stamp from and to...
uploading transactional data i have to deliver also the time from and to in the upload file, right?
at least i have historical truth with my master date? i could load td data for a special time period and it is automatically correct for the master data for that time period? or is there somthing wrong in that concept?

Need more Info about "Load transactional data when master data not loaded"

Hi,
Can you please explain me this option in the infopackage " Load transactional data when master data is not loaded"....
Say i load a transactional data record which has a material no. AAAXX.
In the fact table, the material no. is replaced with the corresp. DIM ID.
Now, assume that there is no entry for this Material no.
AAAXX in the master data table...so no DIM ID for it..
How is it then stored in the fact table ?
Hope i have managed to explain the scenario..
Thanks in advance,
Punkuj

Hello Punkuj K,
How r u ?
No, if the entry for that Material Number "AAAXX" is not there in the Master Data then it will create a SIDs & DIMs ID for that & Transaction Data will be loaded.
Use
Choose this indicator if you want to always update the data, even if no master data for the navigation attributes of the loaded records exists. The master data is generated from the loaded transaction data. The system draws SIDs. You can subsequently load the master data.
Dependencies
The texts, attributes, and hierarchies are not recognized by the system. Load the texts / attributes / hierarchies for the corresponding InfoObjects separately.
This function corresponds to the update. Possible errors when reading the master data into the update rules are not associated with this indicator.
Recommendation
We recommended loading the master data into the productive systems in advance. Select this indicator especially in test systems.

Meta data,Transaction data and Master data

Hi all,
Could you plz make me clear exactly wht does Meta data,Transaction data and Master data mean and the differences

Hi Ganesh,
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

Is there any way we can set default value for a Date Attribute to current date in Master Data Services

Is there any way we can set default value for a Date Attribute to current date in Master Data Services.
I as well wants to know that is there any posibility to show Calendar control while input data into respective date attributes.
Thanks.

Hi Anagha,
So far i havent found any way to set todays date by default from MMI, but i guess this flow should work as workaroud
1. Add buisness rule which can set a default value when Date = NULL/Blank
2.get the entity table ,use -select EntityTable from mdm.tblEntity where Name = '<enter entity name>'
3.Go to that table and add a after update trigger like
if uda_<entityid>_<attributeid(Date attribute)> = default value
update uda_<entityid>_<attributeid(Date attribute)> =getdate() where id = <LastUpdatedRow>
I will check on this too from my side.
By the way AFAIK i dont think so calendar control integration is possible .

Cant fully load updated data to Master data attribute

Hi BW expert,
I meet an issue here, I am not able to load updated data to master data attribute. My loading selection is based on employee number range.
e.g employee number 00001 to 10000
However the data is successfully loaded to master data but lot of the attribute data are not updated. e.g 056, 057, 098, 0100.
I checked in PSA, there is no data updated for the attribute.
I checked in RSA3 in R/3, there are attribute data extracted.
Please advice, why attribute data is not updated when I load it in a range number. The attribute only work when I load one employee number.
Thanks.

Wesley Koo

Impact on transactional Loads if Master data is not loaded

Scenario for your reference:
The loads to ZPO_LINE from PC3 was failing for past 20 days from The fix was applied on April 21.
I need help to decide the effects of not loading ZPO_LINE for past 20 days. And create a detailed plan for data loads required.
If the master data is not loaded for 20 days will it affect the transaction loads happened during those days?
And how can i find out the impact and correct the transaction data if it does?
Can any 1 help me with this?

Hi,
If i understand your scenario, you have a scenario where the Master data load has not been updated for the last 20days but, the transaction data was loaded without any interruption.
In such a scenario, the Transactional loads will only be affected if there is some field which undergoes transformation after looking up on the master data.
So, first load the master data and run the attrib change run process.
After this, if the transaction data is in full update mode, then you dont need to do anything as data will be refreshed with correct values in the next load.
If delta loads are there, you might need to performa full repair.

Rahul

Transaction to activate master data

hi,
is there any direct transaction code, which can be used to activate master data?
like we can maintain master data using RSDMD, anything to activate the data?
going into RSA1 and finding for the infoobj and activating it is taking a lot of time
it is BW 3.5 that i am working on
Regards,
Pradhiba

hi..
You can activate them using an ABAP program. Create an ABAP program and use the funtion module RSDDS_AGGREGATES_MAINTAIN inside to activate the master data. You can create a job (in sm36) to run the program using the "after job" option. In the "after job" section give the job name existing in the Infopackage groups.
or else..
The attribute and hierarchy change run activates you master data and reflects changes to navigational attributes and/or hierarchies in the aggregates of the cubes!
hope this helps..

InfoObjects both appear in transaction data and master data

Hi,
If your transaction data has say infoObjects MMM, EEE, and TTT that you're loading daily or weekly, would you also enhance the infoObject MMM to have EEE and TTT as attributes. MMM has master data (attribuets and texts), and EEE and TTT are not key figures. If yes or no, what would be the reasoning for it?
Thanks,
Will

Hi:
Thanks for the clear explanation. I am working with the material 0MATERIAL. I am enhancing some other InfoObjects for 0MATERIAL_ATTR and 0MATERIAL and at the same time those InfoObjects are being loaded as transactional data too. I am wondering and perplexed about why the requirement would include a view of the data based on the transacitonal load date and the master data load date per your explanation link? Would it have to do something with historical tracking of data?
1) Since most of the time, we use Business Content, IF it comes with oading both Master Data & Transaction Data same time, we go with it becuase we don't want to unnecessarily change deliverd Content.
2) ANother good reason is Rememner, Master Data (e.g., for 0material) is not ONLY for the Cueb you are working on, BUT, its shared among other Cuebs in BW landscape. So, there si a agood chance that other Cube will use 0material, but doesnot have e.g., 0MATL_GROUP as transaction data. So, you should have Master Data that will be shared by all the Cubes/InfoProviders using it.
3) Next, if your Master Data changes (and your Master Data is not Time Dependent), then you can go to Cube and see what was the value on the day you laoded the Cube (I guess I already said this info in prevous post, just to repeat).
Have you come across or implemented this requirement and why would anyone want to implement this approach to see data from the transactional and master data point of view in terms of the load date?
Yes, I had come across many examples similar to the one that I just stated.

Overwrite data of master data infoobject

Hi all,
We have one master data infoobject ZASRYHMA. This infoobject does not have any attrbiutes but it has two compounding fields ZSITE and 0DISTR_CHAN.
Now customer has a requirement in which value of ZASRYHMA can change for a particular site and distribution channel. Generally if this value changes then system creates a new entry in tables /bic/pzasryhma and /bic/szasryhma.
What they want is to overwrite the existing entry.
Is it possible to achieve? It's a master data infoobject.
Please provide your kind help.
Regards,
Nilima Rodrigues

Hi,
You have three fields as key field in table as shown below along with values,
ZASRYHMA     ZSITE         0DISTR_CHAN
A-1                     B-1            C-1
A-2                     B-2            C-2
now if you want to change the value of say second row to
A-3                    B-2             C-2
right?
This is not possible just by overwritting in the info-object master data. Because these are key-fields system will treat A-3 as new value and create new entry, on top of this your A-2 master data values must have been used in transactional data.
Only way I can think of is to delete the transactional data where ever A-2 is used and then delete ZASRYHMA master data and then upload master data for ZASRYHMA with new values. And then transacional data.

Why do we call Master Data CRM master data

Hi
this is shankar
can you please clarify my doubts
1.why do we call master data as CRM Master Data
2. what is the difference between OPPORTUNITY AND OPPORTUNITY MANAGEMENT
3. what is the Relation between OPPORTUINITY AND SUBORDINATE OPPORTUNITY.
THANKDS IN ADVANCE
Regards
Shankar

Hi Shankar
1) We call it CRM master data, to differentiate between R/3 master data and CRM master data. This is very useful when discussing master data that is exchanged between the two systems.
2) Opportunity is a transaction type (sales document type) whereas Opportunity Managment refers to the general business process of working with opportunities (to optimise the effort performed by the sales and marketing people)
3) An opportunity can have more subordinate opportunities, while a subordinate can only have one "master" opportunity. The purpose of this could be: Your sales rep registers an opportunity "New IT systems". This opportunity could represent two subordinate opportunies, like "Hardware" and "Software", each representing a value.
This is uses to break up large opportunities in smaller instances. This could also be relevant if it is different sales people that are dealing with the customer for different products.
Hope this helps. Please reward points if useful.

Claus Møldrup

Historic and Current data for Master data bearing objects

Hi All,
We are trying to implement type 2 dimensions for all the master data bearing characteristics, where we require historic and current data available for reporting. the master data can have a number of attributes and all of them can be time dependent. We are not getting any 'datefrom' or 'dateto' from the source system.
For example:
For Example: The table below shows data entering BI at different dates.
Source Data day of entering BI
MasterID ATTR1 ATTR2
123506 Y REWAR day1
123506 N REWAR day4
123506 Y ADJUST day4
123506 N ADJUST dayn
The field 'day of entry into BI' is only for your understanding; we do not get any date fields from the source. SID is the field we are generating for uniqueness. It is a counter. EFF_DATE would be the current date for all the data. EXP_DATE would be 31.12.9999 until the attributes change. SID and MasterID together would be the key.
On day 1 the following data enters BI,
day 1
SID MasterID ATTR1 ATTR2 EFF_DATE EXP_DATE
1 123506 Y REWAR 2/10/2009 12/31/9999
On day 4, 2 data records enter with same PID,
SID MasterID ATTR1 ATTR2 EFF_DATE EXP_DATE
2 123506 N REWAR 2/13/2009 12/31/9999
3 123506 Y ADJUST 2/13/2009 12/31/9999
the EXP_DATE of the record of day 1 needs to be changed to current date.
Also there are two records entering, so latest record would have EXP_DATE as 31.12.9999. And the EXP_DATE of the first record on day 4 should change to the current date.
so the following changes should happen,
CHANGE
SID MasterIDATTR1 ATTR2 EFF_DATE EXP_DATE
1 123506 Y REWAR 2/10/2009 2/13/2009
CHANGE
SID MasterID ATTR1 ATTR2 EFF_DATE EXP_DATE
3 123506 Y ADJUST 2/13/2009 2/22/2009
On day n, one data record enters with same PID,
SID MasterID ATTR1 ATTR2 EFF_DATE EXP_DATE
4 123506 N ADJUST 2/22/2009 12/31/9999
The change is ,
CHANGE
SID MasterID ATTR1 ATTR2 EFF_DATE EXP_DATE
3 123506 Y ADJUST 2/13/2009 2/22/2009
The data expected in P-table is as below, on Day n or after Day n, untill any other record enters for this MasterID,
1 123506 Y REWAR 2/10/2009 2/13/2009
2 123506 N REWAR 2/13/2009 2/13/2009
3 123506 Y ADJUST 2/13/2009 2/22/2009
4 123506 N ADJUST 2/22/2009 12/31/9999
Has anyone worked on type 2 dimensions earlier? Or any ideas to implement this logic would be appreciated.
Regards,
Sudeepti

Compound the Master ID with eff date and other attribute as superior objects
so you will get P-table as
ATTR1 ATTR2 MAT ID
1 2/10/2009 2/13/2009 123506 Y REWAR
2 2/13/2009 2/13/2009 123506 N REWAR
3 2/13/2009 2/22/2009 123506 Y ADJUST
4 2/22/2009 12/31/9999 123506 N ADJUST

Updating data in Master data Attribute in BI 7.0

Hi All
I am using Bi 7.0. While doing data load for the attributes of an infoObject, my Monitor shows the correct information (i.e. 2 Records transferred and 1 record added, Which should ideally happen based on the conditions in the routines wherein we have used skip records). But while seeing the uploaded Master data, i can see both the records (i.e. the one that should be skipped is also visible)
Kindly help me so that i dont get the skipped record in my Master Data.

Hı,
I am having the same issue. Do you have any idea why it happens and how I could survive it.
Thx.

Master Data-Logic of dates in Master data

Dear Sapients,
In Master data what should be the Logic for BEGDA, for diff. Infotypes and the objects.
In my present project I have taken the earliest hiring date i.e, 01011985 as BEGDA. Is this logic is okie. Else what should be d logic for BEGDA-ENDDA.
In one of my master data position is assigned to cost centres, FI guy has maintained d BEGDA of cost centers from 01012007 but my position's BEGDA is 01011985, I believe it ll be a mismatch n throw error. What should be d solution for this?
Regards,
Kaushal

hai
the begda of the records always depends upon accepted date s per the requirement of the client
more precisely from which date u r going to maintain the data for the employee in sap system.
generally it is acccepted upon earlier by the client and you.
because it always difficult to maintain all the data of the employee since the icepton of the company.
so a cut off date has to be accepted upon and from that date the data will be maintained and the records will have that BEGDA

nalla
