What is Master data reporting

Hi friends

Hi
How to report on Master data like for Material master, If i want to have report on Material and the price of that material,Cost of the material. What are the steps we have to follow to get report. Can we get report directly from master data objects or we have to send the data to data targets like Infocubes,DSO. If we have hierarchies in master data, what is the procedure.
Thanks&Regards

Best Practice for Master Data Reporting

Dear SAP-Experts,
We face a challenge at the moment and we are still trying to find the right approach to it:
Business requirement is to analyze SAP Material-related Master Data with the BEx Analyzer (Master Data Reporting)
Questions they want to answer here are for example:
- How many active Materials/SKUs do we have?
- Which country/Sales Org has adopted certain Materials?
- How many Series do we have?
- How many SKUs below to a specific season
- How many SKUs are in a certain product lifecycle
- etc.
The challenge is, that the Master Data is stored in tables with different keys in the R/3.
The keys in these tables are on various levels (a selection below):
- Material
- Material / Sales Org / Distribution Channel
- Material / Grid Value
- Material / Grid Value / Sales Org / Distribution Channel
- Material / Grid Value / Sales Org / Distribution Channel / Season
- Material / Plant
- Material / Plant / Category
- Material / Sales Org / Category
etc.
So even though the information is available on different detail levels, the business requirement is to have one query/report that combines all the information. We are currently struggeling a bit on deciding, what would be the best approach for this requirement. Did anyone face such a requirement before - and what would be the best practice. We already tried to find any information online, but it seems Master data reporting is not very well documented. Thanks a lot for your valuable contribution to this discussion.

Pass a reference to the parent into the modal popup. Then you
can reference anything in the parent scope.
I haven't done this i 2.0 yet so I can't give you code. I'll
post if I do.
Oh, also, you can reference the parent using parentDocument.
So in the popup you could do:
parentDocument.myPublicVariable = "whatever";

What is Master Data Hormonization?

Hi dear friends,
1) What is Master Data Harmonization?
2) please explain me with one good example? please...
3) What are the SAP NetWeaver MDM six core and business scenarios? Explain each with one example

Hi,
SAP provides six scenarios u2014 or approaches to working with SAP NetWeaver u2014 to help companies maintain their master data while at the same supporting a flexible, innovative IT environment. These are as follows:
1. Master Data Consolidation u2014
In this scenario, users use SAP NetWeaver MDM to collect master data from several systems at a central location, detect and clean up duplicate and identical objects, and manage the local object keys for cross-system communication. With this consolidated data, users can access the information they need to perform company-wide analyses and consolidated reporting.
2. Master Data Harmonization---
This scenario enhances the Master Data Consolidation scenario by forwarding the consolidated master data information to all connected, remote systems, thus depositing unified, high-quality data in heterogeneous system landscapes. With this scenario, you can synchronize central data contents u2014 that is, globally relevant data u2014 based on your results. For example, you can assign the same address to all occurrences of a particular customer.
3. Central Master Data Management---
Whereas the emphasis in the Master Data Harmonization scenario is on local data maintenance, the Central Master Data Management scenario focuses on cleansing data in the central data repository. It then distributes the cleansed data to the connected application systems.
4. Rich Product Content Management---
This scenario is intended for the product information management (PIM) market, as it offers many functions for managing product data and corresponding image files centrally via SAP NetWeaver MDM. It can also be used to prepare for publishing product catalogs, either in electronic Web format or in print.
5. Customer Data Integration---
The Customer Data Integration scenario lets you harmonize customer master data records across heterogeneous systems.
6. Global Data Synchronization---
Through Global Data Synchronization, unified object information is synchronized with data pools, such as UCCnet and Transora, in a standard industrial format, then provided
to trading partners.
Through these different ways of using the capabilities of SAP NetWeaver MDM, companies can structure a master data strategy around their data unification goals u2014 based on their unique business processes, organizational structure, or industry.

What is Master Data Consolidation?

Hi Friends,
what is Master Data Consolidation?
please explain this procedure with one good example?
please....

Hi,
Master Data Consolidation means:
1. Load master data from client systems
2. Identification and consolidation of similar or identical objects
3. Provision of key mapping for unified, company wide analytics and business operations.
4. It aggregate master data across SAP and non- SAP systems into a centralized master data repository. Once data is consolidated, you can search for data across linked systems, identify identical or similar objects across systems, and provide key mapping for reliable company wide analytics and reporting.
In this scenario, these are the following steps:
1. Users use SAP net weaver MDM to collect master data from several systems at a central location,
2. Detect and clean up duplicate and identical objects, and manage the local object keys for cross-system communication.
3.With this consolidated data, users can access the information they need to perform company-wide analysis and consolidated.
For example: Suppose Wipro have different branches like: Wipro Technologies, Wipro Limited, Wipro Infotech and each branch is doing business with the same customer. Each branch has its own name and is own id but overall it's a company called Wipro.
So, now if you see all these records are duplicate and hence give inconsistencies when this data is distributed in different departments of an organization. So we consolidate this data by sending it to MDM where all the information is consolidated, updated and managed properly.

Withholding tax master data report changes in SAP FI

Hi All,
In our client according to new audit requirements improvements have to be done for the withholding tax report. According to the the requirements changes only functionality has to be added to the main selection screen of the withholding tax master data report.
Changes only functionality has to be added to the selection screen of the report, the report has to display changes made to the tax master data with in a range of period, this was achieved easily by making program changes. Only issue now is when we do it in development client its showing us properly but when we do it in production it is not working because when ever we do any configuration changes we do it in the development client and transport it to production client so the changes done to any configuration with respect to WHT are not recorded in the production environment as they are transported from development client.
So, we are unable to achieve this in production client, please help me out with this issue.
Tthanks in advance

Master Data Reporting........data flow model

I will be working on Master Data reporting. I heard that this can be done by loading data from a Datasource into an InfoObject. I would like to see a data model for this scenario. Can anyone help me on this?

Hi:
If you want to be more specific.
Open the InfoObject in change mode.
Go to Tab - Master Data/Texts
Here, if you go down, you will see a box for "InfoArea". Open this box and pick an InfoArea.
THis will do2 things.
1) It will allow you to create reports in the InfoObject.
2) It will allow you to Update the Master Data using any InfoSOurce.

Basic question on Master data reporting on ODS

Hello All,
Recently I had a requirement, where they need to see the master data report ( with its attributes and attributes of attributes (transitive attribute)). Hence I loaded the master data on a ODS, to turn on the Navigational attributes.........
For e.g.: Requirement:
Master data : 0EQUIPMENT
ATTRIBUTE: 0SHIP_TO
ATTRIBUTE of ATTRIBUTE: 0SHIP_TO_REGION
Question: The report is working fine...... but I have a doubt whether the report (built on the ODS with no Key figures) will populate the master data for which there is no Key figures are maintained in ECC???
Please let me know your ideas and views.......

Hi........
I think it will be better if u use Infoobject to store master data......here also u can turn attributes to Navigational attribute....u can activate that infoobject as dataprovider and do the Reporting as you do it now for the ods object. .........The master data approach will additionally give you the possibility to add navigational attributes to fulfil more reporting requirements..........In RSA1.............Infoprovider >> Right click >> Insert that Infoobject as Infoprovider............

What is master data and bussiness data

Dear all
I am new guy of crm.
I have some question.
What is master data and transaction data.
What is sold to party,ship to party.
What is heirar key.
What is header data and item data.

Hi,
Master Data
Purpose
Data about basic objects used in business transactions and stored in the system on a long-term basis.
This area enables you to store, augment, and consolidate master data, while ensuring consistent distribution to all applications and systems within your IT landscape. By ensuring cross-system data consistency, master data management reduces data maintenance costs, accelerates your business processes, and greatly improves your decision-making processes.
Business Transaction
Definition
Business object in SAP CRM that offers the following possibilities:
        Business interaction with a business partner at a given point in time
        The result of an interaction (for example, a contract)
        The initiation of or request for an interaction (for example, an opportunity)
        The preparation (that is, the collection or supplementation of information) for a possible business interaction (for example, an activity)
        The product or object or a (potential) interaction (for example, a sales transaction or service process)
The same interface and processing concept is used for all business transactions. The various components of business transactions are reusable.
Use
The business transaction provides business structures and functions that can be used in various processes of a company, for example, in sales, marketing, or service.
In CRM, business transactions are used in the following areas:
        Sales:
¡        Sales transactions (sales orders, inquiries and quotations)
¡        Opportunities
¡        Contracts
        Marketing:
¡        Lead Management
        Service
¡        Service Process
¡        Complaints
¡        Service Confirmation
         Activity Management
¡        Interactions
¡        Task Lists
Business transactions can be created, displayed, and processed in various channels.
A sales order can be created in Internet Sales, post processed in CRM Enterprise and then transferred to SAP ECC.
Structure
Business transactions are structured as follows:
The structure of a business activity is based on the answers to three questions:
Who?
The participating business partners can be entered at transaction level.
What?
The products and services to which the business transaction refers can be entered at item level.
When / How Much?
The quantity and the times to be considered can be scheduled at schedule line level.
This is a basic structure, and can differ for certain business transaction categories. Activities, for example, do not contain items or schedule lines. Sales transactions contain all three levels.
Similarly to the business transaction, the item category defines the characteristics and attributes of a transaction item, and controls the processing of an item.
Integration
Various basic functions are linked with the business transactions and can be triggered from the interface for the business transaction if the relevant Customizing settings have been made. These include, for example, the availability check, pricing and partner determination. You can find more information in the SAP Library under mySAP CRM.
See also:
You can find more information on the business transaction in the Implementation Guide (IMG) under Customer Relationship Management ® Transactions ® Basic Settings ® Define Transaction Types and Define Item Categories.
Sold to party:'A' sells product to 'B'.Then "B' is the sold to party for 'A'
Ship To party:A ships(send to ) 'B'.Then 'B' is the ship to party to 'A'(In some scenarious the product can be deliverd eg:'C' then the the ship to party varies

Hi gurus what is master data & transaction data

hi gurus what is master data & transaction data

MASTER DATA
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.

What is master data and transactional data?

Hi abapers,
I want to know the difference between master and transactional data?. What is the significane of both master and transactional data. At what situation master data is used, and at what situation transactional is used?. Please give me example of tables using them.

Master Data:
Master data is data that remains unchanged over a period of time. It contains information that is always needed in the same way. For example, all personal attributes can be stored in various SAP standard infotypes as records with specific validity which are called Master data.
Master data are the critical nouns of a business and fall generally into four groupings: people, things, places, and concepts. Further categorizations within those groupings are called subject areas, domain areas, or entity types. For example, within people, there are customer, employee, and salesperson. Within things, there are product, part, store, and asset. Within concepts, there are things like contract, warrantee, and licenses. Finally, within places, there are office locations and geographic divisions. Some of these domain areas may be further divided. Customer may be further segmented, based on incentives and history. A company may have normal customers, as well as premiere and executive customers. Product may be further segmented by sector and industry.
Transaction data:
Data relating to the day-to-day transactions.
Reward if helpful.
Thanks.

Master data reporting in SAP BW

Hi everybody,
we are using BW for reporting on master data. The concerned objects are all customer developments. We are experiencing problems concerning design questions and the print layout of the queries:
Our consultant advised us to use info objects for the implementation of master data in BW and to build the info objects just as the datasources in the source system, meaning: 1 table in the source system = 1 info object in BW. What are your experiences on that?
Second issue is, we have several long text informations. With the limitation of infoobjects to max. 60 digits, we are forced to split the contents into several infoobjects.
How do you handle long text informations in BW? (We need a printable report.)
Thank you for your suggestions, kind regards, Kathrin!

Hi Kathrin,
It's OK to build one datasource on one table in the source system and load it into one infoobject. The main thing here that if you need to link these IOs that you load appropriate attributes into IOs to be linked.
Not knowing details it's hard to tell if this approach is the best.
About 60 symbols limitations you can see these refs:

Master Data Reporting (DATA MODEL)

Hi,
I need to bring 15 to 20 more attributes of 0material/0matplant infoobject from R/3 to BW through 0matplant_attr/0material_attr extractors. Right now this extractors is brings 20 feilds and i dont know still how many i have to bring. So i need to take a decision wheather to enhance those feilds to the master data extractor or create a view on those tables and then generic data source out of it and load it to the infoobject.
Now the issue comes here, i need to do a reporting of those newly added attributes. What should be the best design, wheather to do a reporting on the infoobject or create a ODS on top of infoobject to do report. Daily we are loading these inforobjects as a full load and its around 2 million records.
Please help me out, Your input will be highly appriciated.
Thanks,
Lasya.

hi,
1. creating a view and use it for creating the generic datasource and do the loads. y cant you go for delta instead of loading full loads daily?
2. make the material and matplant as infoproviders(insert char as data target) and report on them. this is because ods will have to do activation and reporting on ods is not advisable.
