Update SEM/BPS buffer   --- update Master data

Hi all,
in a planning layout I had the need to modify the master data (attributes of a IO). Therefore I use a planning function type exit and call sm30 to modify the p and x table.
After returning to the planning layout still the old attributes of the InfoObjekt are shown.
Is there a function to modify the data in the buffer or to force the BPS to reload the data from BW?
If you are in a Layout and change/load the master data in BW you have the same problem. You have to exit the transaction (upspm) before the changes of the Master data take effect in BPS.
Thanks for your help!

Hello Pierre,
If you are using the web the you could call the function module API_SEMBPS_REFRESH to refresh the buffer. Before that I would save the data (using API_SEMBPS_POST) to make sure the data is not lost.
You cannot use this refresh when in the GUI as the refresh destroys the BPS buffer etc on the server and the GUI does not automatically restart the necessary buffer instance etc.

  • Dunning could not update dunning level in customer master data!

    Dear experts,
    I have an issue-that after I ran F150, it did not update dunning level in customer master data. The customer have an overdue invoice and the number of days reached the one of the dunning level. And I did not set the ammount limitation.
    Could anyone tell me the reason?
    Thank you in advance~

    Hi Linda,
    You can block the items of a customer without blocking his account completely by allowing his account for dunning program.
    1. Allow the customer account for dunning
    2.Edit the dunning proposal and block the items individually to the customer and save.
    3.Now you can see the dunning notices for only unblocked items of the customer.
    Thank you,

    Hi Amit,
    Do you have any customisations in your Transaction Notification proc on the company database? You'll get this error if you have an old version of this procedure and you are doing any validation with the object_type parameter (which used to be data type int but is now nvarchar).
    See SAP Note 1298609

  • How to only update existing records when loading master data ?

    Hello experts, I need your lights one more time.
    Here is my need :
    I have created an infoobject (IO) which is a very simple version of 0material, let's call it Znewmat --> Znewmat has material type and trademark as attributes, those two fields are available in 2 different datasources :
    - 0MATERIAL_ATTR for material type (field MTART)
    - 0MAT_SALES_ATTR for trademark (field MVGR2)
    When loading my new IO from 0MATERIAL_ATTR I use a filter (at DTP level) to get only a few material types (I get something like 1000 records),
    here is my issue : when I load from 0MAT_SALES_ATTR the field "material type" is not available to keep the same filter as for 0MATERIAL_ATTR and existing records are updated with the trademark, but I also get 5000 records I don't need, and my master data is "polluated" with useless lines.
    *and my question : is there a way while performing the second loading to ONLY UPDATE EXISTING RECORDS AND NOT ADD ANY
    NEW RECORDS ? (i didn't find anything in main options of my DTP)*
    (I'd like to avoid the solution to update the 0MAT_SALES_ATTR datasource to add the missing field)
    Thanks in advance for any help, points will be distributed.
    Guillaume P.
    Still no idea ?

    in the start routine of transformation from 0MAT_SALES_ATTR to znewmat do the following:
    select materials from /BIC/PZNEWMAT into i_mat
    for all entries in source_package where material eq source_package-material.
    loop at source_package.
    p_ind = sy-tabix.
    read table i_mat with key material = source_package-material.
    if sy-subrc ne 0.
    delete i_mat index p_ind.
    endif.
    this way you'll only update records that have previously been loaded by 0MATERIAL_ATTR DS
    loading sequence:
    first load ZNEWMAT from 0MATERIAL_ATTR. then activate ZNEWMAT. then load 0MAT_SALES_ATTR to ZNEWMAT.

  • Purpose of Update/Overwrite Hierarchy in Import master data package

    Hi All,
    Please let me know what is the difference in update and overwrite option in import master data package. Here when i tried running the package, both the option are altering the hierarchy of existing member.
    My requirement is just to add a new member ID, if it already exist it should not affect those records and only update the new master data records.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Ramanathan

    Hi Ramanathan,
    You can run Import Master Data DM package in BPC to perform delta master data load. While you run DM package you get option to load Master Data from BW/BI where you can select:
    1. MERGE: this will keep old data intact and also load new master data, and
    2. COPY and REPLACE: This will copy new data and delete old master data.
    As per your requirement, you need to select the First option. If you select Update option then it will not delete old master data, instead update the members and hierarchy according to the parent-children design which you would have given in the dimension membersheet.
    Hope this corresponds to your requirement.

  • Program to update info record with material master data

    I am trying to determine if there is a standard SAP program that can be run as a batch file  to update the fields in the info record with the same fields that are in the material master?  ie:  Planned delivery time, Tolerance, purchasing group etc.

    Hi,
    There is no standard report or transaction that can do this.
    The data from these fields in the material master is brought in as a default to the info record when it is created. beyond this point the Info record is treated as being the correct data regardless of what happens to the material master data and so no updates occur in the standard system.
    It would not be difficult to build an LSMW job to copy the data from the material master to the info records and this would be the recommendation if you want to do this.

  • How to update entries of already uploaded master data?

    Hi Experts,
    Master data for one of the infoprovider 0PROMOTION has uploaded with blank value for one of it's attribute zcatgrp and zcatgrp master data is being maintained in BI. Recently one more Zcatgrp has been uploaded but business wants existing records with this new catgrp .
    Please suggest how to update the existing master data entries?
    Regards,
    BW USER

    RELOAD the masterdata with zcatgrp for the promotions.
    when you reload the masterdata with the zcatgrp associated to the promotion (key), the existing records(with blank values) would be overwritten with new records with the associated zcatgrp value.

    Thank you for your answer, but the source system doesn't contain the value '0004'.
    Can'I add this value while loading ZPLANT master data from source system?
    If yes, How can'I do it, and How can I maitain (automatiquely not manually) the text of '0004' key value?
    PS:
    The text of '0004' key value is the same as the text of '0005' key value'.

  • BPS Web New master data (info object value) added to planning area

    Dear all,
    I am working with BPS in Web.
    Here you can add lines.
    Request:
    The user wants to add a new value of the lead column, ´
    which is not yet active in the master data of the info object envolved here.
    He simply wants to enter the new value in the opened new line and the
    system should store(add) that value to the master table,
    so that he could directly plan KF values to that new line.
    I know that we can use FM 'RSDMD_WRITE_ATTRIBUTES_TEXTS'
    to post directly new values to the bespoken info object.
    Where and how could I add this function to the process.
    Note:
    It seems that the BSP dispatcher doesn't pass that line
    because the "invalid" line is rejected  in a step before ??
    Many thanks for your help in advance !

    Vlad,
    Transaction RSD1 gets you into infoobject maintenance and it more or less equivalent to RSA1 and infoobject althought they have some better listing facilities for infobject in infocubes than RSA1.
    Paul,
    Are you really sure you want to give your users the ability to create new master data without any validation and potentially compromising your data quality and data integrity? 
    Sometimes in BPS you have to ask whether or not you should even though you could...

  • Error while updating AFS weights & measures material master data using BAPI

  • Update marketing attribute and customer master data via Survey Response

    Hi,
    I am creating a marketing survey. I have come to a point where I am able to get the reponses posted by the business partners.

  • SEM-BPS Distribution with Reference Data

    All,
    Our planning design is such that our plan values are in one cube and our actuals are in another.  We use a mult-planning area to tie the two together.
    One of our requirements is distribute planning values from one cost center to other cost centers, but to use the actual data on the receiving cost centers as the base.  I have been able to accomplish this with the allocation function, but we need to retain the sender values.  I have been trying to use the Distribute by Reference Data from Sender to Recipient planning function, but it's not reading the reference data correctly.
    Does anybody have some insight into this function?
    Thanks
    Kory

    Hi Mary,
    Thanks for the reply.  I had ran it in trace mode and the message was that there was not any reference data; and maybe this is where I'm misunderstanding this planning function.
    Here's the scenario:  I have a cost center and a cost element and want to allocate it to another cost center.  The reference characteristic from the actuals cube that I'm using is cost element.  For example, cost center 4720001 and cost element 990039 have $100 in the planning cube.  I want to distribute this amount to cost centers 4720002 and 4720003, but using cost element 990014 as the reference data from the actuals cube.  Cost centers 4720002 and 4720003 have $200 and $500 posted to cost element 990014, respectively.  So I'm expecting 4720002 to receive $28.57 and 4720003 to receive $71.43.  When I run the function, I get a message for the receiving records stating that no reference data exists.  I have created this using the allocation planning function with success, but we also need to retain the sender values and the allocation function does not do this.
    Any further insight you have is much apreciated.
    Thanks
    Kory

  • Update Master Data from OSD

    Hi experts,
    I have a problem.
    I have a master data (infoobject as cube) with FIELD1 FIELD2 as KEY and some attributes (no text).
    I want to update one attribute of this master data from a characteristic of OSD (same key).
    The problem is that when I execute the DTP in the transformation RULES, an error appears because the register already exist and it doesnt modify the attribut.
    What can i do?

  • Master Data Save Through BPS - BI and BPS Related

    Hi,
    I have 2 questions regarding BI and BPS working together.
    1.Does all infoobject used in BPS layout have to be master data enabled to avoid BPS created master data? By this I mean, if an infoobject doesn't have 'with master data' check box enabled, and has only'with text' enabled, the new masters created in BPS gets saved to the infoobject? Is this how it is expected to behave?Is there a work around to avoid creating master data from BPS?
    2.We have a multiprovider for actuals and budget. Budget comes from BPS which has only cal quarter. But the budget and actuals cube have year and quarter. In the actuals we are deriving quarter and year from trnasaction date in update rule. But for budget, we have only quarter being entered by user. Is there a way to derive the year and store in budget infocube so that reports derived out of the multiprovider can show year correctly for both budget and actuals?
    Thanks
    Suja

    >1. BPS cannot create master data at all and that setting is irrelevant fo bps. Users can only forecast on existing master data.
    This is wrong. If your infoobject doesnt have master data, then values inputted in layouts will be written into the infoobject.
    >1.Does all infoobject used in BPS layout have to be master data enabled to avoid BPS created master data?

    yes

    I think, yes
    >Is there a work around to avoid creating master data from BPS?
    The only way, i suppose, to create infoobject with master data

  • Master data extraction from R/3 to BW

    Hi all,
    I have to extract master data for characteristic 0CUSTOMER from R/3 system. I have two options for doing that namely 'direct update' and 'flexible update'. Can anyone suggest which method is used in which scenario? I need the data in 0SOLD_TO for some reports on Offers/Orders (0SD_C05) cube in SD. Can I extract data for only this particular attribute? Whats the difference between direct and flexible updates of master data? Please Guide.
    Thanks
    Sumit

    hi sumit,
    Direct update is generally used for Master data infoobject & here no update rules are used, that means data from source system passes though transfer structure, rules, & communication structure directly to Data target i.e. InfoObject.
    Flexible Update - generally used for transaction data ( nowadays can be used for few master data as well) has another set of rule after communication structure i.e. update rule before moving data to data target.
