What is the advantage in Maintaing the master data if it can be directly ..

Hi,
When looking for possible values in an object, I see that it has 20 possible values that can be selected while in BEx. But when I go to the object itself under the InfoObject tree(in rsa1), with a hope to maintain master data, I do not find "Maintain Master" in the context menu of the object.
1. where could the possible values that I saw in the report be coming from?
2. I understand it is possible that the object was filled as data was being loaded in some data target and that may explain why no master data was being maintained but it had values.
If that is the case, then, what is the advantage in Maintaing the master data (i.e. directly maintaing the master if it can be directly maintain through loaded files)?
Thanks

Thanks,
On 1:
so you are saying that the SID table gets populated during the transactional data load.
In the change mode of the object, I see
SID Table    /BI0/<u><b>S</b></u>xxxxxxx.
a)
Is this what you were referring to as the <u><b>S</b></u> table? How do I see the values in this SID talbe.
and can it be modified?
b)
Also, how come that the other object without "Maintain Master data" in context menu and the one with this option both have the
SID Table    /BI0/S........
c)
Other than the difference I see in their context menu what should be the difference?
2.
You mentioned that the "System just creates a SID <u>for the incoming value</u>. "
a)
Where in the system do I see these system generated SIDs?
You noted that "But loading master data assures the masterdata <u>attributes</u> and <u>texts</u>, which are not generated while loading transactional data except for the SID"
b) If this is so important, is there a way to prevent data loads without master data
i.e. to force the maintenance of master data?
Also, isn't it possible to load the attributes of an infoobject while load data? You seem o be suggesting otherwise.
Thanks

  • No view of the changes of Customer /Vendor master data

    Hi Experts,
    I have a problem, when I run the standard report to view the changes of customer/vendor master data, I don't find the change relative to a bank account .

    Can you help me, please?
    Thanks in advance.

  • What tasks need to be done after master data is updated on R/3 side.

    Hi all,
    One of end user didn't enter the descriptions for few of the 0costcenters on the R/3 side. Now as he likes to see the descriptions , he's updating the information on R/3 side. What will be the tasks a bw backend person should perform in order to update the descriptions for costcenter.
    I think  they have to run the delta load for 0costcenter master data and do a ACR- Attribute change run.

    Hello
    If its just a descriptions. Then just full Text load for 0Cost_center should be good enough to show them in the BW Reports
    Thanks

  • What  are the advantages over sql in pl/sql...can you please answer this?

    Hi,
    what are the main differences between sql and pl/sql...why v are using pl/sql rather then sql...can you please answer this question?

    SQL is used to access the database. PL/SQL is a programming language where SQL is seamlessly integrated. In order to access the database in PL/SQL, you have to use SQL.
    Think of it as two pieces of software, two "engines". If you want to interact with the database, then performance wise it's best to use only one engine (SQL only), instead of two (PL/SQL and SQL). If a PL/SQL program executes a SQL statement, it does a "context switch", i.e. saving its state in PL/SQL before giving control to the SQL engine and vice versa. This is quite fast, but do a lot of them and it is slow, so beware of programming SQL statements inside loops.
    Another way to put it: SQL is a fourth generation language (4GL) where you tell what you want, not how. The software, the optimizer, will decide for you how to process the statement. PL/SQL is a third generation language (3GL), or at least the PL-part is, where you describe how things should be processed. Leading to more code and more control. With every Oracle release, SQL becomes more powerful and the optimizer gets better, so using SQL is increasingly important.
    For complex processing, using PL/SQL is still necessary. But use it with care.
    Hope this helps.

    Rob.

  • Redoing the Intial load of Material Master data

    Hi,
    The requirement is to flow the data between R3 and CRM.Business partners, Material and Sales documents.
    I have created Customer and Material in R3 and in CRM r3ac1 i set filter conditions for material and customer .
    Data successfully flowed from R3 to CRM this is confirmed in CRM (SMQ2) when i activated it showed a green light.
    I used tcode COMMPR01 in SD tab it is not showing particular sales org 5030.
    For BP it shows sysfail in SMQ2 when i tried to check it shows message BP number already exists.
               Iam doing the Intiaload of Material Master data second time .so what precautions i have to take before starting the Intial Load .
    Plz Clarify.
    Thanx's in Advance.
    Regards,
    Jack.

    HI Jack,
    Regarding the customers:
    You could be getting the message due to a variety of resons. Perhaps you are using overlapping BP number ranges in CRM and R/3?
    The other reason could be due to client copies in one or both systems thus leading to data flowing to the wrong clients.
    Regarding Materials:
    Make sure that that org mapping has been correctly  maintained in the CRM Org Model and that this org unit has not been filtered out in the fitler settings.
    If the mapping exists correctly, then you will see a BDOC with an error. You will also see the sent data in the BDOC.
    This is easy to check. Just change a Sales Area dependent attribute for a material in R/3 and see if the change is sent to CRM. If yes, then check the BDOC and the BDOC log. If the problem is in the org Mapping this will show up in the BDOC Log.
    Another thing you can check is the buffer. Perhaps the cache/buffer is not getting updated after the download.

  • How Bex flageffects internally effects the SID table entries for Master Dat

    Hi Every one,
    I do understand how the Bex flag setting works in relation to reporting like y we set the flag or y we dont set the flag when we do reporting or not on ODS.. <b>My question here is, i dont understand, how the SID tables or the master data tables or ODS tables get effected with this flag. Can some one explain me what kind of changes in the tables takes place with this flag setting and how it is used in the reporting..</b> How this thing is different with respect to Cube reporting process.. I do understand that ODS doesnt have Dimensions.. so i am just looking for conceptual clarification and not any forum links related to the Bex falg.. i have already gone through many links in the forum, but they didnt help me to clarify this process at table level which i am looking for... ANy help will be highly appreciated in SDN way..

    Thanks Durgesh but I have tried every master data test in RSRV.  I think because these document number characteristics don't have master data tables most of the tests return a message that the test does not apply to the characteristic.  These characteristics only have a sid table.

  • When create heirarchy, can not find the entry which is in master data

    Hi, SDNs
        When create a heirarchy for a char , click this char button to add a fields to a node, i can't search the value which is actually in the master data.
       Thansk for your time

    If you go to create hierararchy or change mode of hierarchy
    3 types of nodes you can create
    1)Text node
    2)Charecteristic node
    3)Infoobject values node
    text node - is simple any text node you can create
    infoobject values node - if the master data is loaded you can create it
    if master data is loaded make sure its activated and no master data is under "M" version.
    charecteristic node - only if particular infoobject node is included in the tab "external chars in hierarchies" in RSD1 of that particular infoobject
    Hope it Helps

  • Sync the FS Item (CX 13)  Master data in QA systems

    I have requirement like this, Synchronize all new FS Items (T-Code CX13) from production to the QA and Development environments, on average there are approximately 20 new FS Items set up in a month. ( this is the reson to do this: The weekly job to update the FI GL master data from production to Dev and QA environments, does not include the ECCS FS Item master data. This causes failed testing for projects, enhancements. At this time ASSAP team manually enters the FS Item in QA environments. This is very disruptive and time consuming and causes delays in testing. )
    Can you please suggest me the best way to do this.

    Hi,
    Any master data changes to a "non modifiable" client can be sent using one of the two options :
    1. Transport Request
    2. ALE (IDoc)
    Most probably the master data change he wants to transport requires an ALE setup between the two systems.
