Updating Master data attributes through BPS

Hi All,
Can we modify master data attributes via BPS? Like we have some Attribute characteristics for 'vendor' say 'class(good/bad/ok)' and we want that to be updated via BPS (not from R/3) then how it can be achived?
Please help by explaining this.

Hi,
Create two variables one for vendor and other for status (variable of type attribute), give both the variables in the folder. User will select the vendor and the attribute status value in selections. Create an exit planning function to update the attribute.
Import parameters
i_area type upc_y_area
i_variable type upc_y_variable
i_chanm type upc_y_chanm
Export parameters
eto_charsel type upc_yto_charsel
tables
i_t_attributes structure rsd_s_iobjnm optional
i_t_data structure rsndi_s_chavl optional
In the code, Read the above two variable values selected by user. Then delete the existing entry of MD by calling the function RSNDI_MD_DELETE.
Now update the master data with the new attribute value selected by the user in the variable by calling the function
RSNDI_MD_ATTRIBUTES_UPDATE. After this activate the master data by calling RSDMD_MD_ACTIVATE.
Hope this solves the issue.

Update Master Data Attributes yellow in DTP

Hi All,
After loading the master data DTP, the request becomes greeen but the "Update Master Data Attributes" step is still yellow. Let me know how to overocome this error
Thanks,
Sathya

Hi,
This is a master data full load and it updates more than 1 lakh records. Technically the Overall and technical status of my DTP request becomes Green but when i go to the details tab and drill down the data package the "Update Master Data Attributes" still remains yellow so i dont think my load will update the attributes for my info object successfully.
Is there a solution to overcome or did anyone face this similar issue?
Thanks

Is it possible to update master data attributes from an ODS?

HELLO ALL,
we have records coming into our ods like the following:
costcenter1, subcostcentera, subcostcenterb, manager responsible, costs (kf).
This is a custom flat file load from a legacy system.
We would like to just create an update rule from the ODS to the cost center mater data characteristic attributes.
Is this possible?
thank you

Yes its possible to update the master data attributes from an ODS.
Define your master data characteristics as a infoprovider.
Create a update rule on Characteristic with ODS as a source and do general mapping.
For step by step, pls refer..

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?
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?
yes
>Is this how it is expected to behave?
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

Force read/refresh of master data attributes on query

Hi there,
We're having troubles with one input ready query that changes and attribute value (KYF) of one characteristic. That works fines and whe can save changed data on the infoprovider via DTP. Problem is when data is saved we need to refresh query as whe have both values on screen (original value as char attribute on rows) new value as input ready KYF, so after save we would like to see that both values are the same.
Is there any way of force query no to read from caché as whe are changing master data attributes. I read something about IF_RSMD_RS_ACCESS class that can be implemented on Master Data access and force it there but sounds really hard so if this is the way can some of you guys give us some help.
I hope I make myself clear on the explanation...
Thanks in advance,
Regards
Carlos

Dear All,
The recent days that I tried working on changing master data attributes through BPS didn't work out.The Primary reasons was that some of the attributes that I needed to change were not present in the transaction or planning cubes and the characteristics that are not part of your cube on which the planning area is based then you can not do changes on them.
This is my undestanding .Please correct me if I am wrong.
Besides , I was also thinking if we can do the same through portal.i.e retriving the master data infoobject ( based on the value seleceted for that infoobject by the user ) and its attributes in the portal , edit them and save them back so that the updated values goes back to BW master data infoobject data base tables and updates the value.
Eg . I have Natural Account master data infoobject in the BW with attributes fucntional area and expense center.Based on the user selection of any values for the Natural account lets say 01110 , then for 01110 natural account the portal should display the correspoding attributes values of fucntional area and expense center.Lets take this values as 10 , 20 respectively for fucntional area and expense center . What I want to do now is to change these attrbute values to 30 and 40 and I would like to save it back as the changed attribute values for that natural account for 01110 with new attribute values 30 & 40 respectively for fucntional area and expense center .
Is this possible through portal and BW?
Any idea on this would be appriciated.
Regards,
Ankit

I have 2 InfoObjects ZPSCHRCHY and 0PROFIT_CTR from InfoCube WBS cost and allocations I want both the InfoObjects to be mapped to 0PROFIT_CTR attribute of 0WBS_ELEMT master data object, I have tried the Master Data Attribute but only 0PROFIT_CTR is an attribute of the Master Data.how can I mapped ZPSCHRCHY and 0PROFIT_CTR to 0PROFIT_CTR?, Is creating a start routine for it must be used?

Can routine replace "master data attribute of" update rule for performance?

Hi all,
We are working on CRM-BW data modeling, We have to look up agent master data for agent level and position for each transaction data. So now we are using "Master data attribute of" update rule. Can we use routine instead of "Master data Attribute of" ? Will it improve the loading performance? Since we have to load 1 lack transaction records , where as we have 20,000 agent details in agent master data.My understanding is, for each record in data package the system has to go to master data table and bring the agent details & store in cubes. Say one agent created 10 transactions, then this option "master data attribute of" will read the agent master data 10 times even though we are going to pull same details for all 10 transactions from master data. if we use routine, we can pull the agent details& storing in internal table removing all duplicates and in update routine we can read the internal table.
Will this way improve performance?
let me know if you need further info?
Thanks in advance.
Arun Thangaraj

Hi,
your thinking is absolutely right!
I don't recommend to use the standard attribute derivation since it will perform a SELECT to the database for EACH record.
Better implement a sorted table in your start routine; fill it with SELECT <fields> FROM <master_data_table> FOR ALL ENTRIES OF datapak WHERE OBJVERS = 'A' etc...
In your routine perform a READ itab ... BINARY SEARCH.... I believe that you won't be able to go faster...
hope this helps...

How to use Master Data Attribute of in Update Rule's Formula

Hi experts.
In update rule, there is an option to use Master Data Attribute of. However, due to user requirement, I need to use that in Formula instead.
Field to update:
Profit Center
Logic:
If Cost Center is empty
Then Profit Center
Else
Master Data Attribute of Cost Center
I use the following formula at the moment but it is not 100% correct.
IF( Cost Center = '', Profit Center, Cost Center )
Appreciate if anyone could help me out.
Thanks!

Hi,
The easier thing to do will be to use a Update Routine.
Logic will be as follows :-
If Cost center iss initial.
Result = Profit Center
else.
result = Cost center.
endif.

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.
regards,
Wesley Koo

Re: Error while running InfoPackage

Extraction through master data attribute not working

Hi All,
In my ODS, i have a field Sales Document Item, with attributes ship-to-party, sold-to-party, etc.
Now, ship-to-party and sold-to-party are extracted using the update method master data attribute of Sales Document Item.
For some of the Items, the ship-to-party and sold-to-party are getting extracted properly, but for others, they are returned as blank; even though these records are present in the master data for Sales Document Item.
Kindly provide your inputs for this issue...

Hi Apeksha,
Check your transformations.for those "ship-to-party and sold-to-party "
Thanks,

Using "Master Data Attribute of" in the Update Rule

Hi,
In my update rule of, i want to replace the master data attribute of my characteristic instead of using its source characteristic. For example. InfoObject ZSTORECODE has an attribute ZSTORENAME. My objective is to use the Store Name instead of a Store Code.
I initially thought of using "Master Data Attribute of" in the update rules. However, I always end of with having an error of "No Values."

Hope you guys can help me with this!
Thanks,

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.
