What is the use of ingnore duplicate records ?

Hi guru's
what is the use of ingnore duplicate records ? it will not allow duplicate records when u r loading masterdata ?
actually md will not duplicate records , why we use this option? with out select the check box in duplicate records, what will happen?
its supports only for flat file or r/3 sys, if supports flat file tell me both procedure
Thanks
Reddy

Hi,
If u checks Ignore Duplicate records means, system will allow duplicate records.
Actually Master data will not have duplicate records. This option is rarely useful in certain scenarios.

What is the use of additon in up to 1 rows in SELECT statement

Hi All,
         What is the use of up to 1 rows in select statement.
for example
SELECT kostl
      FROM pa0001
      INTO y_lv_kostl UP TO 1 ROWS
      WHERE pernr EQ pernr
      AND endda GE sy-datum.
    ENDSELECT.
I'm unable to get in wat situations we hav to add up to 1 rows
please help me out...
Thanks,
santosh.

Hi,
Use "select up to 1 rows" only if you are sure that all the records returned will have the same value for the field(s) you are interested in. If not, you will be reading only the first record which matches the criteria, but may be the second or the third record has the value you are looking for.
The System test result showed that the variant Single * takes less time than Up to 1 rows as there is an additional level for COUNT STOP KEY for SELECT ENDSELECT UP TO 1 ROWS.
The 'SELECT .... UP TO 1 ROWS' statement is subtly different. The database selects all of the relevant records that are defined by the WHERE clause, applies any aggregate, ordering or grouping functions to them and then returns the first record of the result set.

What is the use of Withholding tax identification number field?

Hello SAP Experts,
I posted this question earlier but had to close because of no replies from anybody. Posting it again to see if I am lucky to get some answer this time.
Can someone tell what is the use of field Withholding Tax Identification Number? Does it help with the reporting? Where does it get populated on the report if given at vendor or master record or within the withholding tax customization for company code? What is the difference between creating it in the customization for withholding tax information for company code and vendor/customer master record?
As per SAP: Withholding tax identification number
This is a number issued by the tax authorities per withholding tax type.
This number must be specified in Customizing either:
(a) As part of the withholding tax information defined for the company code, or
(b) As part of the withholding tax information defined in the customer or vendor master record.

Hi Pete,
The only thing that I could check is the content used in US:
See content of this field for US:
LFA1-STCD1 Social security number
LFA1-STCD2 Employer identification number
LFBW-WT_WTSTCD Withholding tax identification number for WT Type
In order to populate it, please kindly check the following:
The reason why you cannot fill in the field WT_WTSTCD in transaction
Fk02 however you can do it in XK02 (Change vendor centrally) can be due
to wrong customizing of the field status group.
Kindly check the following:
SPRO->
Finantial accounting -> Accounts receivable and accounts payable ->
Define screen layout per activity (vendors) -> Change Vendor(Accounting)
Company code data -> W/holding tax data, w/h tax 2 ->
FIELD Withholding tax code,w/h tax 2 will be probably just available to
display. Please, change it to optional entry.
I hope I could be of assistance.

What is the use of end routine in bi 7.0

hi friends,
what is the use of end routine in bi 7.0. what scenerio we use end routine.
Thanking u
suneel.

hi Suneel,
check
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/e3/732c42be6fde2ce10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
End Routine
An end routine is a routine with a table in the target structure format as input and output parameters. You can use an end routine to postprocess data after transformation on a package-by-package basis. For example, you can delete records that are not to be updated, or perform data checks.
If the target of the transformation is a DataStore object, key figures are updated by default with the aggregation behavior Overwrite (MOVE). You have to use a dummy rule to override this.
hope this helps.

Why do we create indexes for DSOs and Cubes.What is the use of it?

Hi All,
Can you please tell me why are indexes created for DSOs and Cubes.
What is the use with the creation of indexes.
Thanks,
Sravani

HI ,
An index is a copy of a database table that is reduced to certain fields. This copy is always in sorted form. Sorting provides faster access to the data records of the table, for example, when using a binary search. A table has a primary index and a secondary index. The primary index consists of the key fields of the table and is automatically created in the database along with the table. You can also create further indexes on a table in the Java Dictionary. These are called secondary indexes. This is necessary if the table is frequently accessed in a way that does not take advantage of the primary index. Different indexes for the same table are distinguished from one another by a separate index name. The index name must be unique. Whether or not an index is used to access a particular table, is decided by the database system optimizer. This means that an index might improve performance only with certain database systems. You specify if the index should be used on certain database systems in the index definition. Indexes for a table are created when the table is created (provided that the table is not excluded for the database system in the index definition). If the index fields represent the primary keys of the table, that is, if they already uniquely identify each record of the table, the index is referred to as an unique index.
they are created on DSO and cube for the performance purpose ..and reports created on them wil be also more efficent ..

What is the use of t-code MD74 - Reorganising independant requirements

what is the use of t-code MD74 - Reorganising independant requirements

basically it to delete the unwanted PIR for the last period.
Let us say you planned PIR for 100.
At the end of Period the total salae order were 90, PIR shows 10 excess, this has to be deleted. We can do it manually, but this can be done collectively
pl go through the link below
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/cb/7f9b7043b711d189410000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
With the reorganization function, you can delete planned independent requirements for which there are no sales orders in the database. You can delete the planned independent requirements history.
A key date is required to carry out reorganization which is calculated as follows: the system checks whether a reorganizing interval is maintained in Customizing for the plant that you want to reorganize. If an interval is maintained for this plant, the system uses this information to calculate the key date. If no interval is maintained for this plant, the system checks whether intervals are maintained for any other plants, and selects the largest interval to calculate the key date. You can change the key date proposed in the initial screen for reorganization.
You can change the proposed key date when deleting the history. You can set a shorter interval for deleting histories than for deleting the requirements records.

Hi Gurus,
I would like to know what is the use of return table in bw.. can any one give me the perfect answer....
Ramesh

Hii
Imagine a situation where 1 record coming into a cube needs to be split into multiple records. Lets say you get values total values for sector in the PSA. Now you may want to partition that value based on the various sectors existing. In that case you can use a return table and split a single record into multiple records.
return table option is available in update rules

What is the use of CTU_PRAMS in bdc programming?

what is the use of CTU_PRAMS in bdc programming?
can any explain wit a sample code.

Hi,
Hi,
If u write table control bdc program in 14'' monitor screen, then if the same program u run at different monitor size, then the screen resolution problem comes in to the picture,
like, u get 5 records in table control in one screen, and some other records in other screen, to avoid this screen resolution problem we use CTU-PARAMS Structure.
In ur program u have to set
defsize type ctu_params-defsize value 'X',
Then u will be free of screen resolution problem.
Fill the str CTU_PARAMS-defsize = 'X' and pass in CTU stmnt as
call transaction 'XXX' options using t_bdcdata ctu_params.
Analysing :
1. If nothing works, then we have to
some ifs & buts.
2. There shall be normally
2-4 different kinds of resolution
on various users comptuers.
3. Based on this,
we have to know beforehand,
what will be the number of rows
in the table control.
4. The user can be given
a selection/paraemter
for resolution
eg. 800x600
1024x100
axb
etc.
5. Based on this, we will hardcode
in the program (based upon our knowledge/recording
which we have seen and done)
we will hardcode
the number of lines
in the VARIBLE.
6. Then we can simply use this variable
for our LOOP and logic purpose.
7. It will be the responsibiltiy of the
use to CHOOSE THE CORRECT resolution,
on the selection-screen.
For screen resolution use ctu_params, with default size
Data : f_option type ctu_params,
f_option-updmode = 'S'.
f_option-defsize = 'X'.
f_option-dismode = 'N'.
call transaction 'VA01' using bdcdata options from f_option messages into bdcerror.
CALL TRANSACTION tcode... OPTIONS FROM opt
... OPTIONS FROM opt
Effect
Allows you to control processing using the values of the componetns of the structure opt, which must have the ABAP Dictionary type CTU_PARAMS. The components have the following meanings:
DISMODE
Display mode (like the MODE addition)
UPDMODE
Update mode (like the UPDATE addition)
CATTMODE
CATT mode (controls a CATT)
CATT mode can have the following values:
' ' No CATT active
'N' CATT without single-screen control
'A' CATT with single-screen control
DEFSIZE
Use default window size
RACOMMIT
Do not end transaction at COMMIT WORK
NOBINPT
No batch input mode (that is, SY-BINPT = SPACE)
NOBIEND
No batch input mode after the end of BDC data.
The components DEFSIZE , RACOMMIT, NOBINPT, and NOBIEND always take the following values:
'X' Yes
' ' No
If you do not use the OPTIONS FROM addition, the following control parameter settings apply:
DISMODE
From addition MODE
UPDMODE
From addition UPDATE
CATTMODE
No CATT active
DEFSIZE
Do not use default window size
RACOMMIT
Successful end on COMMIT WORK
NOBINPT
Batch input mode active ( SY-BINPT = X
NOBIEND
Batch input mode remains active after the BDC data

What is the use of ABC indicator in functional location segment.

Regards,
Ram Rathode

Hi,
As per Application help, ABC indicator signifies:
An indicator that is assigned by the procedure of ABC analysis.
The following ABC indicators are possible:
A - Important
B - Less important
C - Relatively unimportant
According to these criteria, "A" materials are those materials that are of greatest importance for the production operations of a company.
Examples of use for ABC indicators are vendor master records, material master records, and master records of technical objects.
You can customize the values in ABC indicator as per your requirement

What is the use of inverted date format

In table TCURR - Exchange rates, the field GDATU - Date As of Which the Exchange Rate Is Effective is stored as an inverted date. So 01/01/2008 is actually stored as 79919898.
What is the use of inverted dates. Why does SAP use them. Why not just use normal date format? If I want the latest record from the table, instead of sorting by descending, I actually have to sort by ascending because the date is stored in inverted format.

Hi,
Inverted date is a old concept which helps in soring the dates sometimes. but now ASCENDING and DESCENDING sorting is more easy and quick. Check this application help. maybe useful for you
1. CONVERT DATE f1 INTO INVERTED-DATE f2.
2. CONVERT INVERTED-DATE f1 INTO DATE f2.
Effect
Calculates the nine's complement of the internal date format (YYYYMMDD - for more information about internal display, meaning and initial values of types, see TYPES) and places it in the field f2. For example, 19950511 becomes 80049488 and 80049488 becomes 19950511.
In the inverse date format, the most recent date has the numerically smallest value. You can make use of this effect when sorting dates.
Note
The technique of manipulating the sort sequence of dates by inverting the internal date format is now rarely used. You can sort internal tables in order of ascending or descending date values much more efficiently using the ... ASCENDING or ... DESCENDING additions to the SORT statement.
Example
DATA DATE_INV LIKE SY-DATUM.
CONVERT DATE SY-DATUM INTO INVERTED-DATE DATE_INV.
Suppose, for example, SY-DATUM contains the date 11.05.1995 in its internal format 19950511. After execution of the CONVERT statement, DATE_INV would contain the internal format 80049488.

What is the use of change pointer concept in ale?

what is the use of change pointer concept in ale?
Edited by: Alvaro Tejada Galindo on Feb 6, 2008 5:10 PM

ALE Architecture:
It consists of an Outbound process, an Inbound process, and an Exception Handling process.
Outbound Process:
ALE Outbound Process in SAP sends data to one or more SAP Systems. It involves four steps.
1. Identify the need of IDoc: This step starts upon creating a application document, can relate to a change to a master data object.
2. Generate the Master IDoc: The document or master data to be sent is read from the database and formatted into an IDoc format. This IDoc is called as a Master IDoc.
3. Generate the Communication IDoc: The ALE Service layer generates a separate IDoc from the Master IDoc for each recipient who is interested in the data. Separate IDocs are generated because each recipient might demand a different version or a subset of the Master IDoc. These recipient-specific IDocs are called Communication IDocs and are stored in the database.
4. Deliver the Communication IDoc: The IDoc is delivered to the recipients using an asynchronous communication method. This allows the sending system to continue its processing without having to wait for the destination system to receiver or process the IDoc.
Inbound Process:
The inbound process receives an IDoc and creates a document in the system.
1. Store the IDoc in the database: The IDoc is received from the sending system and stored in the database. Then the IDoc goes through a basic integrity check and syntax check.
2. Invoke the Posting Module: The control information in the IDoc and configuration tables are read to determine the posting program. The IDoc is then transferred to its posting program.
3. Create the Document: The posting program reads the IDoc data and then creates a document in the system. The results are logged in the IDoc.
Over view of IDocs:
IDoc is a container that is used to exchange data between any two processes. The document represented in an IDoc is independent of the complex structure SAP uses to store application data. This type of flexibility enables SAP to rearrange its internal structure without affecting the existing interface.
IDoc interface represents an IDoc Type or IDoc data. IDoc Type represents IDocs definition and IDoc Data is an instance of the IDoc Type.
IDoc Types:
IDoc type structure can consist of several segments, and each segment can consist of several data fields. The IDoc structure defines the syntax of the data by specifying a list of permitted segments and arrangement of the segments. Segments define a set of fields and their format.
An IDoc is an instance of an IDoc Type and consists of three types of records.
i. One Control record: each IDoc has only one control record. The control record contains all the control information about an IDoc, including the IDoc number, the sender and recipient information, and information such as the message type it represents and IDoc type. The control record structure is same for all IDocs.
ii. One or Many Data records: An IDoc can have multiple data records, as defined by the IDoc structure. Segments translate into data records, which store application data, such as purchase order header information and purchase order detail lines.
iii. One or Many Status records: An IDoc can have multiple status records. Status record helps to determine whether an IDoc has any error.
Message in IDoc Type:
A Message represents a specific type of document transmitted between two partners.
Outbound Process in IDocs:
Outbound process used the following components to generate an IDoc. A customer model, and IDoc structure, selection programs, filter objects, conversion rules, a port definition, an RFC destination, a partner profile, service programs, and configuration tables.
The Customer Model:
A customer model is used to model a distribution scenario. In a customer model, you identify the systems involved in a distribution scenario and the message exchanged between the systems.
Message control:
Message control is a cross application technology used in pricing, account determination, material determination, and output determination. The output determination technique of Message control triggers the ALE for a business document. Message control separates the logic of generating IDocs from the application logic.
Change Pointers:
The change pointers technique is based on the change document technique, which tracks changes made to key documents in SAP, such as the material master, customer master and sales order.
Changes made to a document are recorded in the change document header table CDHDR, and additional change pointers are written in the BDCP table for the changes relevant to ALE.
IDoc Structure:
A message is defined for data that is exchanged between two systems. The message type is based on one or more IDoc structures.
Selection Program:
Is typically implemented as function modules, are designed to extract application data and create a master IDoc. A selection program exists for each message type. A selection programs design depends on the triggering mechanism used in the process.
Filter Objects;
Filter Objects remove unwanted data for each recipient of the data basing on the recipients requirement.
Port Definition:
A port is used in an outbound process to define the medium in which documents are transferred to the destination system. ALE used a Transactional RFC port, which transfers data in memory buffers.
RFC Destination:
The RFC destination is a logical name used to define the characteristics of a communication link to a remote system on which a function needs to be executed.
Partner Profile:
A partner profile specifies the components used in an outbound process(logical name of the remote SAP system, IDoc Type, message type, TRFC port), an IDocs packet size, the mode in which the process sends an IDoc (batch versus immediate), and the person to be notified in case of error.
Service Programs and Configuration Tables:
The outbound process, being asynchronous, is essentially a sequence of several processes that work together. SAP provides service programs and configuration tables to link these programs and provide customizing options for an outbound process.
Creation of IDoc:
Basic Type:
Basic IDoc type defines the structure and format of the business document that is to be exchanged between two systems.
Segments:
Segments form the basic building blocks of an IDoc type and are used to store the actual datta. A segment type is the name of a segment and is independent of the SAP elease. A segment definition is the release-specific name of a segment.
Steps in creating Segments:
T.Code WE31
Enter the name for your segment type and click on the create icon.
Type the Short text.
Enter the variable names and data elements.
Save and Go back.
Go to Edit -> Set Release.
Repeat the steps to create more segments.
IDOC TYPE:
Business data is exchanged with an external system using the IDoc Interface.
IDoc types (Special Structures) An IDoc type is defined through its permitted segments. Segments can be dependent on each other (parent and child segments). The IDoc interface can check for each IDoc whether thhe segments contained are compatible with thhe definitiion of its type. This systax check is activated or deactivated in the Partner Profiles.
Steps in creating IDoc Type:
T.Code WE30 to create IDoc Type.
Enter the Object Name, Select Basic Type and click Create Icon
Select the create new option and enter a description for your basic IDOC type and press enter
Select the IDoc name and click Create icon
The system prompts us to enter a segment type and its attributes
Choose the appropriate values and press enter
The system transfers the name of the segment type to the IDoc editor.
Follow these steps to add more number of segments to Parent or as Parent-child relation.
Save it and go back.
Go to Edit -> Set Release.
Message Type:
Steps in Creating Message Type:
T.Code WE81.
change the details from Display mode to Change mode
After selection, the system will give this message "The table is cross client (See help for further info)". Press enter.
Click New Entries to create new Message Type.
Fill details
Save it and go back.
Assign Message Type to IDoc Type:
T.Code WE82
Change the details from Display mode to change mode.
After selection, the system will give this message "The table is cross client (See help for further info)". Press enter.
Click New Entries to create new Message Type.
Fill details
Save it and go back.

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..

What is the use of for all entries in select statement

what is the use of for all entries in select statement

hi,
FOR ALL ENTRIES is an effective way of doing away with using JOIN on two tables.
You can check the below code -
SELECT BUKRS BELNR GJAHR AUGDT
FROM BSEG
INTO TABLE I_BSEG
WHERE BUKRS = ....
SELECT BUKRS BELNR BLART BLDAT
FROM BKPF
INTO TABLE I_BKPF
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN I_BSEG
WHERE BUKRS = I_BSEG-BUKRS
AND BELNR = I_BSEG-BELNR
AND BLDAT IN SO_BLDAT.
*******************************8
look another example
what is the use of FOR ALL ENTRIES
1. INNER JOIN
DBTAB1 <----
> DBTAB2
It is used to JOIN two DATABASE tables
having some COMMON fields.
2. Whereas
For All Entries,
DBTAB1 <----
> ITAB1
is not at all related to two DATABASE tables.
It is related to INTERNAL table.
3. If we want to fetch data
from some DBTABLE1
but we want to fetch
for only some records
which are contained in some internal table,
then we use for alll entries.
1. simple example of for all entries.
2. NOTE THAT
In for all entries,
it is NOT necessary to use TWO DBTABLES.
(as against JOIN)
3. use this program (just copy paste)
it will fetch data
from T001
FOR ONLY TWO COMPANIES (as mentioned in itab)
4
REPORT abc.
DATA : BEGIN OF itab OCCURS 0,
bukrs LIKE t001-bukrs,
END OF itab.
DATA : t001 LIKE TABLE OF t001 WITH HEADER LINE.
itab-bukrs = '1000'.
APPEND itab.
itab-bukrs = '1100'.
APPEND itab.
SELECT * FROM t001
INTO TABLE t001
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN itab
WHERE bukrs = itab-bukrs.
LOOP AT t001.
WRITE :/ t001-bukrs.
ENDLOOP.
Hope this helps!
