Using a BPF to Maintain Master Data - BPC 10

Hi all,
I have a business requirement for Master Data to be added very quickly. An example would be a new 'Project' to be added as master data in to the Project dimension, so that a resource (employee) can be book time against it.
We have thought of two options;
1. Create dummy projects and use the BPC Comments functionality to note the project details. This will be quick but quite dirty. There will be no link to a customer which could mess up reporting.
2. Allow users (there are few, and they are Expert) to maintan the Master Data themselves via the BPC 10.0 Admin console or excel client if possible(?) One way that has been suggested is using a Business Process Flow (BPF), that will be left incomplete.
Does anyone have any experience in doing this? Or advice they could share?
Project data is scheduled to be upladed from SAP ECC in to BW, then BW in to BPC nightly. We have a requirement to plan at shorter notice than this and as such this won't work.
Thanks in advance for anyone that can help!

Dumps when trying to Maintain master data

Hi All,
When we are trying to Maintain master data for a master data object 0WBS_ELEMT, we are getting a short dump "CALL_FUNCTION_NOT_FOUND" in our BI 7.0 system.
What we are doing is Right click on 0WBS_ELEMT info object and Maintain master data, then we get the above dump. Saw in one of the forums that by making the info object in active and activating it again it will solve the issue but even after doing this the issue still persists, we still get the dump. Would need help from all of you.
regards,
Suman Pitta

Hi Suman,
The dump is due to the fact that 0WBS_ELEMT has an attribute which still
uses the POSID conversion exit. Attribute 0PROG_POS should use
conversion exit POSBW. And in fact, in RSD1 of this infoobject, POSID is
Still maintained. However, if you go to the DDIC object in SE11
(SE11 -> choose "Domain" -> /BI0/OPROG_POS -> Display), you will
see that the conversion routine POSID still appears. This is the reason
you get the dump.
In order to resolve this issue, go to RSD1 -> enter infoobject
'0PROG_POS' -> choose maintain -> Set object status to inactive and
reactivate the InfoObject. The reactivation should regenerate the DDIC
objects (you can check this in SE11 again).
Alternatively change to the version from content which utilises POSBW
already.

Colin

0vendor is not displaying name attribute when I maintained master data.

0vendor is not displaying name attribute when I maintained master data.
Details: I have four records in the 0vendor infoobject (sand box). I have to show these four records to the client. As i have free hands I maintained master data in the name field and finally activated master data. But when I add the name attribute to the vendor charecteristic in the query designer; it is displaying name attribute as # . Any idea how to display the names of the four vendors in the zquery.
Also do you know the transaction to copy standard query to Zquery?
Thanks in advance.

Dear Les
For 0VENDOR, Set Property as Key & Text, try once again.
Yes, you can copy the standard query very well.
Open the Standard query & using SAVE AS, you can copy to "Z" queries.
Hope, now you will get some idea

Why cant I see an attribute when I "maintain master data"

Gurus -
Here is an easy question for you.
I added a new navigational attribute to an InfoOject. After I have loaded the data and activated it, I can't see the navigational attribute/values when I do a "maintain master data" when I display it via InfoObject. But, I can see the navigational attribute/values when I do a "maintain master data" when I display it via InfoSource. What do I have to do to see it when maintaining master data via the InfoObject option?
Thanks!

usually in maintain master data - it might be that the number of fields are too large and you are not able to see your field.... what you can do is to select a particular row with data and double click on it to see the data or go to options and user parameters and choose ALV grid display and it usually displays all the fields unless you are using a custom layout which does not have this characteristic included.
The easiest way to check out if the characteristic is available is to use the P table in SE16 and view the contents - this too if you do not have custom layout defined at the ALV grid level...

How to change funcionality "Maintain Master Data" to RSA1 instead WebDympro (BW 7.4)

Hello Gurus,
Someone could help me?
In SAP BW 7.4 (Support Package 7) the BW master data maintain function moved from SAP GUI into web dynpro screen.
Can we use it (maintain master data) in SAP GUI RSA1 like SAP BW 7.3?
Is it a configuration in SPRO?
Thank you guys.
PS: It is my first project with SAP BW 7.4

Hi Gareth,
I have made the code changes as suggested by you but there is some kind of inconsistency.
After maintaining master data ,If I go back one step it works fine
But if I type /nRSA1 or any other tcode on the same screen,it gives a dump.
Below is the dump.
Short Text
    The current application has triggered a termination with a short dump.
What happened?
    The current application program has detected a situation that should
    not occur. A termination with short dump has therefore been triggered
    by the key word MESSAGE (type X).
What can you do?
    Note down which actions and inputs caused the error.
    To process the problem further, contact you SAP system
    administrator.
    Using Transaction ST22 for ABAP Dump Analysis, you can look
    at and manage termination messages, and you can also
    keep them for a long time.
Error analysis
    Short text of the error message:

How to correct the error
    Probably the only way to eliminate the error is to correct the program.
    If the error occurs in a non-modfied SAP program, you might be able to
    find a solution in the SAP Notes system. If you have access to the SAP
Notes system, check there first using the following keywords:
"MESSAGE_TYPE_X"
"SAPLOLEA" bzw. LOLEAU02
"AC_SYSTEM_FLUSH"
If you cannot solve the problem yourself, please send the following
information to SAP:
1. This description of the problem (short dump)
To do this, choose System -> List -> Save -> Local File (unconverted)
on the screen you are in now.
2. A suitable system log
To do this, call the system log in transaction SM21. Restrict the time
interval to ten minutes before the short dump and five minutes after
it. In the display, choose System -> List -> Save -> Local File
(unconverted).
3. If these are programs of your own, or modified SAP programs: Source
code of these programs
To do this, choose More Utilities -> Upload/Download -> Download in
the Editor.
4. Details regarding the conditions under which the error occurred or
which actions and input caused the error.

Incorrect result between maintain master data and bex query, how can i fix?

Hi ALL,
i get some messages from the users there is incorrect result between SAP R/3 and Report on BW. i controlled the monitor and i saw there was a job for 0CUSTOMER_ATTRIBUTE that it finish correctly but the processing it was only in PSA, i started the full update immediately from PSA into Data Targets and is finished correctly. after when i control the content of the 0CUSTOMER (right click maintain master data) i get the correct attribute result that match the data in SAP R/3, but the problem is when i execute a query Bex on this master data it will not return the same attributes data.
Can SomeBody Help please
Bilal

hi,
For any master data attributes loaded you will have to run "Attributes Change Run" for that.Execute for Master data 0CUSTOMER.
The same is avilable in rsa1->Tools(top menu)->apply hierarchy/attribute run.
hope it helps,

Issue when maintain master data in BW 740

Hi guy ,
When I want to maintain master data by right clicking info object in DEV system, It pop an IE application ,

It want me to login QAS system.I check my host configuration parameters ,i think it's no problem.

Hi
Please check this
From BW 7.40 SP5 Master data maintenance is moved from SAP GUI to WEBDynpro application. When I was trying to do the same it gives below error. I think It requires some settings to configure web services in BD7. Please check and activate the same. Please find the relevant links and SAP Notes which might help you.

Manually maintain master data: check referential integrity?

Dear Experts,
we want to maintain master data via transaction RSA1 oder RSDMD.
Is it possible to enforce referential integrity?
Example:
Infoobject A has attribute Infoobject B
Infoobject B has master data keys
101
103
When maintaining attributes in Infoobject A (with transaction RSDMD) only allow to maintain Infoobject B 101 or 103 but not 102.
Best regards
Gregor

Hi Gregor,
That is because I think you have sected check inegrity box for any particular Object then.....the values which are coming are checked with masterdata table.......if the value are not existing in the masterdata then those records are not updated to the target..............
In your case 102 is not present in A
If still you want to laod then there is one setting
You have activated error handling in the BW scheduler (Tab page Update)
On the Update tab page in the BW scheduler, you have selected the option Always update data, even when no master data exists for the data.
hope it will help.

Error while loading Master Data - BPC 10.0 NW

Hello gurus,
I am trying to load master data from a BW InfoObject to a dimension in BPC, but am getting the error as shown below:
The transformation and conversion files are configured as shown below:
I would greatly appreciate if you can help me troubleshoot the issue with the java script command. Thanks in advance for your help.
Best regards,
Vijay

Hello Vijay,
Which Patch are you using for EPM add in.
It seems that js:%external%.replace("#","_") does not work with some patches
so in that case you have to use js:%external%.toString().replace("#","_") in your conversion file.

Vendor payments using bank info from HR master data

Dear experts,
We have setup all employees as vendors in FI to make reimbursements.
Can we use the banking information in HR master data (IT0009) and make the vendor payments in FI. We don't want to maintain bank information in vendor master.
So, by entering the personnel number of the EE in the vendor master, can SAP integrate and read the banking information from the HR master data?
Please let me know if this is possible and how.
regards,
vishal.

You have to maintain bank data for vendors and employees separately. Vendor master cannot access bank data in payroll module. Use LSMW to populate bank data in XD02 and establish a process to update bank information whenever there are changes in payroll side.

How to maintain master data attribute of 0WS_QUEST & 0WS_QSTNNR SRM Web Sur

Hello All,
We are implementing BI reporting based on SRM Adhoc analysis.
Info-object 0WS_QUEST & 0WS_QSTNNR has both Master data & Text.
I could only find the Text data source in system for 0WS_QUEST (0WS_QUEST_TEXT) & for 0WS_QSTNNR (0WS_QSTNNR_TEXT).
Is the Master data for 0WS_QUEST & 0WS_QSTNNR is maintained via ETL ? If so, what data source need to be used ?
Or Master data for 0WS_QUEST & 0WS_QSTNNR is maintained with in BW via some special transaction ? If so, what is the T Code to be used ?
For Example - Like for 0SR_VE_GID1 - Master data maintenace via T Code - SRM_VE_GROUPING & Text via ETL (Data source 0SRM_VEGRID_TEXT)
Appretiate your input.
Thank you very much in advance.
Regards,
Viresh

Dear All,
The text flow for 0WS_QUEST & 0WS_QSTNNR is sufficient to make available Criteria from source system questionnaire in BW.
After the text load (even it does not generate SID) we can already use Tcode SRM_VE_GROUPING & SRM_VE_WEIGHTING for customization of groupping and weighting in BW.

Can I use export my SAP created master data in a non-SAP system?

Hello,
I am about to start a large integration solution with my SAP customer and they are concerned about licensing. What they want to do is export their GL, cost centre and WBS master data to an external system via integration (probably custom ABAP, or home built BAPI/RFC). The external system then uses the accounting data to determine where to post FI or MM documents back into SAP via custom ABAP, BAPI or maybe IDOC).
Is this OK? Are there any licensing issues with master data used externally and posted back in via custom ABAP or standard BAPIs/IDOCs?
Thank you in advance,
Geoff

Hello Geoff,
Yes, even indirect access to SAP transactions or data needs to be licensed properly with SAP. Your customer should contact their SAP account rep to discuss the exact use case. Indirect access via certain types of certified integrations may qualify for Platform User License pricing, but there is no generic answer, and it is best for the customer to discuss their specific case directly.

DM Package Abort while loading master data - BPC 10 NW

Hello gurus,
I am trying to load master data from BW InfoObject to BPC. The package is running successfully if I just load the master data (without selecting the hierarchy node). However, when I select the hierarchy node, the package aborts without giving any details in the package log.
Please note that the hierarchy for the BW InfoObject is time-dependent.
Therefore, I was wondering if there are other requirements that should be in place (such as new SAP notes, etc.) or any other procedures that should be followed while loading the time-dependent master data from BW to BPC.
Thanks in advance for all your valuable guidance.
Best regards,
Vijay

Hi Vijay,
Please have a look at your ST22 t-code if it gives this error:"exception 'CX_SY_RANGE_OUTOF_BOUNDS' " apply the following note:
1957783 - An exception 'CX_SY_RANGE_OUT_OF_BOUNDS' occurs while
loading infoObject hierarchy on BW 740
