Using/Populating Consolidated InfoObjects w/o MDM Determination of Matches

Hello,
We have two separate R/3 systems with overlapping Materials and Material Groups, and would like to reclassify the Material Groups (but not Materials) into "global" numbers/IDs using the consolidated InfoObject 0GN_CAT_PUR.
My question is about how/where to load the mapping information. I'm thinking that all of the match criteria would be loaded into the attribute table for 0GN_CAT_PUR (Back-End Object Type, SSID of a Category, Material Group). Then, for each line of Transaction Data, the determination of global Material Group (e.g. "Purchase Category") would occur via lookup in the Update Rules where the code references the ATTR table information.
Can anyone confirm (or deny) this - that the match/lookup is made off of the ATTR (P) table for Consolidated InfoObjects, and that the only data which must be loaded for this lookup to work is in the ATTR table of the consolidated InfoObject?
Thanks in Advance,
E P

Have confirmed the above. The "match" information for Consolidated InfoObjects is contained within the ATTR fields. We have added an additional ATTR to store the new Global Material Group, and made that attribute navigational in the InfoCube. This solves the reporting/reassignment issues. The "master" list of local material groups is stored in the core 0GN_CAT_PUR values (e.g. the Key Field is a concatenation of SSID, Object Type, and local Material Group), and the re-classification is stored in our custom attribute. This custom attribute is then used in the reports to show and classify the data according to the Global Material Group.

When do we use legal consolidation?

Hello Experts,
Can you explain what is meant by legal consolidation & when do we use legal consolidation?

Hi,
legal Consolidation is financial process for public companies are required under law to consolidate their accounts of their entire operations across globe to present a single view of their business.
In simple terms, legal consol is a process where all the operations are consolidated under the parent entity by looking at its economic interest in its daughter companies. The parent company has an ecomonic interest in the profits of its subsidiary companies as a result of its investment in them. so you consolidate against pre-determined rules.

Compounding vs. Consolidated Infoobjects.

Hi Experts,
Basically I need to pull information for spent analysis reporting. Ive come to a stage where I need to pull information from multiple source systems (8 R/3 systems and 4 Non-SAP systems). In order to do this I need to pull master data such as plant, company code, purchase org etc.. into BI from the different systems. My problem is that each system can use the same code for different objects. Such as,
Plant Example:
            Plant 1000/R/3-1            -           Plant A
            Plant 1000/R/3-2            -           Plant B
Therefore to do this and to ensure all plants are available I need to use one of the following options.
1.       Compound source system to plant.
Problem with this is all objects using plant will also have to be compounded to system id.
2.       Add source system code to plant id.
Plant is only a 4 character field. There will not be enough space to add system id unless I change the length.
3.       Use consolidated info-objects
I was planning on using standard cube 0PUR_C01 for reporting. Will have to replace all infoproviders using this with the consolidated infoobject.
4.       Maintain a table with predefined plants and write a routine for plant/system id and populate.
This might not work well for RRI. Also will have to maintain the table when new objects are added/changed.
So a bit confused as which technique to use. Would really appreciate youre input.
Thanks and regards,
Dilanke

For characteristics, it really doesnt matter if they are either a BW or APO infoobject, however for a KEY FIGURE it does matter.
Reason is if you are intending to LOCK/FIX the key figure in yourplanning books, based on say a CONSENSUS FORECASTING workflow then theKEY FIGURE must be created as a APO key figure. Also enclosed the screenshots to show you the difference.
This is the simple rule to remember:
Always create APO keyfigures (because they have more functionality) and we will have Acutual Key Figures and Planned Key Figures...
Always create BW InfoCubes (APO InfoCubes are only used internally)
You can refer Chapter 3 : Demand Planner of APO for learning more about the diff between the Administrative Work Benches and Infocubes...

Using a standard infoobject as a reference infoobject ???very urgent!!

hi guys,
i have to develop a report. so now here my requirement is that i have to display the fields in the report from an ods. Here there is one standard infoobject extracted from r/3 and is been used as a reference object for one zfield. Now the requirement is in such a way that i have to use the same infoobject's medium txt to display the details in another zfield. so the usage of the infoobject comes twice here. Now can anyone explain me how to solve the problem.
(same standard infoobject is used to refer two different zfields to display the data in the reporting in two different fields.
thanks
rani

Dear Rani,
Reference field means, reference objects wont contain any master data. Same master data available for all reference objects.
Ex: Standarad object : std_1 and based on this 2 reference objects(Ref_1 & Ref_2) created. Same master data(Data of main object: std_1) will be used for all three objects.
So you can use ony of the objects based on your requirement. you will get same text for same key.

What is the use of various text objects in text determination

Dear All,
What is the use of various text objects in text determination.e.g the sale document header object(In this what we define and where that text is copied further) and
other text objects i.e customer/accounting,billing header etc.
Regards,
Ashima

Hi,
To exchange information between the User and the System as well as between the objects (Ex: Customer to Sales document, Sales document to Delivery Document) SAP uses Text Determination to determine or to propose Text. Text can be determined for objects like customer master, all documents, condition records, customer material info records, etc...
hope it helps..

Is use of flat file in SRM-MDM catalog search UI possible ?

Hello,
When user looks for materials inside SRM-MDM catalog (using search user interface), search is done manually with free form or drill down search.
Then, among the search result, user has to select items he wants to add to his shopping cart and finally transfer those items from his shopping cart overview inside SRM.
Is it possible to automate this user selection using for exemple a flat file uploading (or any other way you could know) ?
This flat file will have material number (or service), supplier code and quantity (no more information).
The aim of the request is to help requester to not have to select each item one by one (in the search result) knowing that :
- SC will have more than a hundred items,
- delivery time and price (for example) must be checked in MDM, being the master data reference
- materials (or service) to order are received by requester via a flat file without any information about prices, so i cannot upload my flat file directly into SRM because file missing data must come from MDM.
With this process, user should have only to transfer items automatically selected.
Could you please share your advises ?
We use SAP MDM 5.5.
Regards.
Laurent.

Hello Masa,
Masayuki Sekihara wrote:
A vendor look at buyer stock information like VMI and fill stock weekly base. So the vendor sends material number and quantity information as flat file to buyer. Buyer should create SC from flat file and price information should fetch from catalog.
Yes, your are correct: example you gave corresponds to process for my SC uploading.

Can I use the Profile Manager as an MDM while distributing app through app store?

Is it possible to use the Profile Manager within the OSX Server to provision profiles through apps purchased in the app store?
Ex: userX buys app in the app store, in downloading the app they get enrolled in the MDM / OSX Server I control. They select profile settings within my app and submit to OSX Server (Profile Manager) at which point I send back OTA the provisioned profile for them to upload.
Ex: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/parentkit/id600618138?mt=8
Thanks for the feedback!

Use of Number range in Free goods determination Procedure

Hi,
Can any body tell me that why we use number range in free goods determination procedure & where it was assigned.
Thanks & Ragds......
rashmi

Hi,
This facility is provided just to differenciate your free issues documents from normal sales documents and nothing much. This means if you want to make a report depending upon free issues number range then you can get the results as per the free issues number range. For example if you customer has been doing business in various countries and each county wants specific number range for their documents then you'll use an exit which will assign the required number range specific to the country.

Using conditions on CSV files in Receiver Determination

Hi,
We're reading EDI files from a directory and turning them into IDocs. We've got an ABAP class that converts the EDI to XML for us, we're calling that as the first step in the Operation Mapping.
However, several different EDI files are dropped in the same directory, regardless the type and version. Luckily this can be found in the UNB segment in the EDI message. Now we want to make the split in the Interface Determination, but to do he'll need to read the EDI file's first line, determine what exactly it is, and then send it to the correct operation mapping.
Is there a way to read a non-XML file using XPath in the Condition part of the Interface Determination?
What I basically want to do is something like this:
File content :
UNB+93A:ORDERS:etc.
UNH+347843243:etc.
What I want to have my condition on is on the 93a and on ORDERS. So I'll need a double condition with AND (I know how to do that part) but on substrings of the data, which I don't know what to do. I only know that the UNB line will always be the first line.
So IF pos 5-7 EQ '93a' AND pos 9-14 EQ 'ORDERS' THEN Operation Mapping, etc.
Any ideas if this is possible, and how?
Kind regards,
Frederik-Jan.

hi,
>>>Is there a way to read a non-XML file using XPath in the Condition part of the Interface Determination?
yes this is possible
but it would be much easier if you'd just create an adapter module (especially if you have more complex conditions)
that would check the content of the file (parsing it in java) and fill out any of the adapter specific attributes
on the basis of which you could easily do the receiver determination
I used this approach for VDA (also non XML files) and it worked very nicely

Different tables used in Consolidation Business Rules

I was going through the documentation of different tables that needs to be maintained for consolidation business rules. I am a little confused and need some clarifications.
These are different tables that needs to be maintained for consolidation -
clcELIM - This table will tell what each source account needs to be divided into what 4 destination accounts.
clcRULES - The RULES will tell how this source account needs to be divided (percentage wise as stored in the OWNERSHIP application) into these 4 destination accounts.
clcMETHOD - This table lists down the different methods (along with their types and description) and its used in the clcRULES table
clcELIMH_- What does this table do and where does it come into picture?
*clcELIM_ - Is this same as clcELIM table mentioned above?
clcRULESH - What does this table do and where does it come into picture?
Also, what am I looking at is what is the sequence in which these tables needs to be defined.
For example -
1. clcELIM has a field called RULE whose details are mentioned in clcRULES.
2. clcRULES has a field called METHOD and I_METHOD whose detailes are mentioend in clcMETHOD.
3. .... I am not sure what other tables do? Please fill in the gaps.
Thanks everyone for their help so far.

Great explanation Alwin!
Since I am new to SAP BPC world and to tell the truth, consolidation world as well (I am a planning & forecasting guy), my follow up questions are -
(Sorry if the questions are naive).
So according to what you have explained, clcELIM and clcELIMH work together along with clcMETHOD to define the elimination rules for entities.
What do clcRULES and clcRULESH do?
Also you said that these are the SQL tables (clcELIM, clcRULES, clcELIMH etc.) and its advisable not to configure them directly. So what business rules from the administration side update these tables. I am sure the METHOD administration will update clcMETHOD while RULES administration will update clcRULES and clcRULESH, is that right? what about ELIM and ELIMH.
I am asking these questions since I dont have the system to work on yet but will be getting it on Monday next week. Right now I am trying to grasp as much as I can. So if you can send me some snapshots to amey420 at gmail dot com, that will be really appreciated.
Also you can send me the other documents you were talking about. I will shoot you an email as well.
Thanks a lot for your help.

Use material groups in FI invoices to determine the GL account

All,
For our incoming non purchase order invoices we use Vendor invoice in financial accounting in ECC 6.0
My customer wants to start using material groups in their financial incoming invoices to determine the GL Account. ? It sounds not logical me but is that possible ?
Thanks!
AS

Hello AS,
Standard SAP never determine GL accounts with respect to any groups / valuation area ,if you want to post direct FI invoice. You can derive GL accounts with respect to material groups ,if FI invoice is PO based.
It may possible through user exit's but it shouldn't be logical in my point of view.
