XSAN and OD Master

Hello,
I just have 2 questions
1. Can I have the OD master on leopard and leave the xsan which are on other xserves running tiger?
2. If I have to rebuild the OD master because of issues I'm having (I posted on the OD forum), does that have any affect on the xSan. of course I would shut the xSan down while I do this.
Thanks.

To reiterate Frank's point - if your OD is an XSAN CLIENT - then yes, you have a big problem if it is running 10.5 but your MDCs are running 10.4. Otherwise, no problem.
Also, when you say "rebuild," it depends on what exactly you mean by "rebuild." If you plan on recreating users from scratch, then you will have permission problems on XSAN unless you are careful to make sure you reassign UIDs exactly the same. If you plan on restoring your entire LDAP, or even just exporting users and groups from your current build, then importing them on your new build - you should be OK.

Xsan and Qmaster - How?

After reading the thread Qmaster killed my Xsan, I got a little worried about trying Qmaster with Xsan.
At work, we have an Xsan setup with 12 clients, all recently upgraded to Final Cut Studio 2.
I have read through what the Distributed Processing Setup manual says about Xsan, but that was not much.
Can somebody please give some advice on how to set it up properly?
This is what I have done so far.
1. One client is set up as "Services and controller"
2. All the other clients are set up as "Services only"
3. All clients are set up with the Compressor service as shared and managed
(I have not yet made the cluster with Qadministrator)
What should I set the cluster storage to, in System Preferences -> Apple Qmaster? Do I need to set the cluster storage for every client, or only the controller?
What should I set the network interface to, inside System Preferences -> Apple Qmaster?
I would really appreciate some advice from somebody who has got Qmaster working well with Xsan, or knows very well how to set it up.
(I posted this in the Xsan forum, as I figured it would be more likely to find people with experience using Qmaster with Xsan here.)

Thomas,
First of all, this thread is almost two years old. Much has changed since then.
Specifically, FCS 2 has come out with many updates for Compressor 3 and Q master.
I can tell you that we have Q master running on our X-SAN and so far (knock on wood) it has NOT killed it! In fact, we're harnessing 30+ G-5's for rendering to DVD Studio Pro and it's screaming fast.
As far as specific advice, we had no special help other than reading the manual. It's a bit tricky setting things up, as there's a difference between "managed" and "quick cluster". I would suggest starting small with just a couple of systems and establish the connectivity and settings. Once you get it working on at least two systems, the rest is just adding more CPU's to the cluster. Good luck.

Program for customer and vendor master

Hi All,
I am working with ale-idocs. could you plese tell me the program name for transferring the customer and vendor master data.
thanks in adavance,
Sugeet.

Hi Sugeet,
You can transfer the Customer/Vendor master data by activating change pointers or by using RBDSEDEB/RBDSECRE programs manually by giving the customer or vendor number. But for both the methods you need to configure the partner profile settings.

Replication of Customer and Material master from R/3 to CRM

Hi
Recently in our quality server basis administrator has made a client copy from production server after that customer master and material master are not flowing from R/3 to CRM, even sales orders were not getting copied from CRM to R/3 , i went through C71 BB config document and fixed the sales orders updation from CRM to R/3 but not able to resolve the problem of customer master and material master from ECC to CRM.
I went to B09 BB document and all settings are fine.
Using R3AS I have loaded following objects DNL_CUST_PROD0, PROD1, PROD3, SPROD , DNL_PLANT. and Material.
I went to R3AM1 and checked the status as running or wait for each object.
There are no filters in R3AC1 .
Queue name withR3AD_MATERIA0000000001 has status SYSFAIL in SMQ2 .
What can i do to resolve this problem.
Please advice.
Thanks,
Vaishnavi

Hello Vaishnavi,
After the client copy , have you run txn:BDLS in order to change the LOGSYS in all relevant tables?
You can run this txn in test mode as well to see the affected tables.
Are you getting any dump on these load ?Check it in txn:ST22.
Hope this helps!

How to create automatic creation of BP from customer and vendor master data

Hi gurus,
can any one tell how to create automatic creation of BP from customer and vendor master data.
Please give me the steps.
Thanks
Sasikanth.

HI,
Goto SPRO\ Cross application components \ Master data synchronization \ Synchronization control.
Assign account groups of customer and vendors to respective BP grouping. This setting is enough to create BP in background while creating customer / vendor. But the fields groups are very much important, ensure mandatory fields should be sync.

Impacts in COPA of changing material and customer master data

Dear experts,
In my company we are considering following scenario:
Currently mySAPerp 6.0 is implemented for all modules for the mother company.
We have developed a new global template where there are significant changes versus the existing system, especially in the SD processes. Material and customer master also change significantly in terms of content in the tables/fields and/or values in the fields.
The idea was to build the template from scratch in a new machine and roll-out all group affiliates, but now we are considering the possibility of making an evolutionary of the current system and try to stretch it to the processes defined in the global template.
The scenario we want to analyze is: Keeping same organizational structure in terms of Company code, CO area and Operating Concern in existing SAP client and make an evolutionary of the existing settings to the global template processes.
The doubts we are having are the following:
Changing material & customer master data: Impact in COPA
Option 1: Material master data and customer master data codes are maintained but content in the tables/fields is changed substantially, both in terms of logical content of specific fields and/or the values in the specific fields. We have following examples of changes.
Case 1: source field in material master changes logical content. E.g. Material master field MVGR1 is currently used for product series (design line) and the content changes to be the Market Segment. The product series will be moved to a classification field. At least 5 other fields are affected by this. How can data in terms of COPA line items be converted so that they are aligned at time of reporting?
Case 2: the source field is not changed so that the logical content of the field remains but the values change, i.e. for the same concept there will be different codifications. How can data in terms of COPA line items be converted so that they are aligned at time of reporting?
Case 3: Characteristics where currently the source material master field is a Z field and the derivation is via table look up and where the Z field changes to a classification field. How can you convert the existing COPA line items to ensure that attributes are aligned? Should new characteristics be created or just change the derivation logic of the characteristic?
Option 2: Material master data and customer data codes are re-created (codification of records is changed), meaning that new material and customer codes will exist and content in tables/fields is changed (as in option 1)
Case: material and customer codes are changed. How can data in terms of COPA line items be converted so that they are aligned at time of reporting?
Iu2019ve never phased a similar scenario and I fear that maintaining operating concern while changing source master data and also SD flows (we have new billing types, item categories, sales doc. Types, order reasons) may lead to inconsistencies and problems in COPA.
I would like to ask you experts if you have come across a similar scenario and if from your experience, it is something feasible to do or there are many risks involved. What can be the impact of this scenario in existing Operating Concern for both option 1 and 2 and what would be the key activities to perform to adapt the existing operating concern. What will be the impact of the needed conversions on P&L reporting?
Sorry for the long story. I hope you can help me out.
Thanks and Regards,
Eric

Hi,
First i think you will need to test if it works for new COPA documents created via billing.
If it works fine then the issue is if you wish to apply these changes to the historical data already posted.
Normally there are transactions like KE4S where you can repost the billing document to COPA
However this may not be viable for bulk postings
You can perform realignment (KEND) but this only works at the PA segment level (table CE4XXXX)

Bapi For creation and change for Vendor Master and Customer Master

I am looking for BAPI to create and change Vendor Master and Customer Master which will not take me to standard SAP transaction but will work in the background
Explanation: BAPI to delete material (BAPI_MATERIAL_DELETE) take you to standard SAP screen of T-Code MM06 but BAPI to create material (BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA) creates material in the background i.e. does not take you to standard SAP screen of T-Code MM01
So in my case (i.e. to create and change Vendor Master and Customer Master ) I want BAPI which would work like BAPI to create material (BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA)

For general information,to find BAPIs associated with any business object :
Transaction : BAPI - choose alphabetical tab - Find customer - (right side choose - tools - create bapi list and search ) , you will get all the BAPIs associated with this particular business object

How are attribute and text master data tables linked in SAP R/3?

Hello,
how are attribute and text master data tables linked in SAP R/3?
Most tables with attribute master data like T001 for company codes,
have a text master data table T001T (add "T" to table name).
When looking at the content of table T001 via transaction se11,
the text are automatically joined.
But for some tables there is no "T"-table (e.g. table TVBUR for sales offices
has no text table TVBURT), but in se11 you get texts. There is an address
link in TVBUR, but the Name1, etc. are empty.
a) Where are the text stored?
b) How does the system know of the link?
Hope someone can help!
Best regards
Thomas

Hi Thomas
The master and text table are not linked by name, of course, if you see the text table, it has the same key fields of master table, only it has the field key spras and the field for description.
The link beetween the tables is done by foreign key: if you check the text table TVKBT u need to see how the foreign key for field VKBUR is done:
-> Foreing key with table TVBUR
-> Foreing key field type -> KEY FIELD FOR A TEXT TABLE
->Cardinality-> 1-:CN
It's very important the attribute sets for Foreing key field type, if it's KEY FIELD FOR A TEXT TABLE, it'll mean the table is a text table: i.e. that mean the master table is a check table for the text table, where the foreign key type is for text table.
U can find out the text table of master table by SE11: GoTo->Text Table
U can fined some information in table DD08L.

I have a client requirement where user wants to view material master and vendor master in a single report. Is there any standard data source which extracts both the data together..
Thanks!
Arvind

Hi,
Two are different master info objects and can't get them from one data source.
think about multi provider or info set on two master data objects to club them.
Info object - 0MATERIAL and data source - 0MATERIAL_ATTR
Info object - 0VEDNOR and data source - 0VENDOR_ATTR

Vendor Master and Customer Master for FI AP/AR

hi FICO Gurus,
I am Sapna here and I have questions regarding the Mandatory fields for Vendor Master and Customer Master which would be mandatory for Running FI AP and AR. I am basically a MM Consultant but I have been asked to perform this role of Master Data at my current client.
I am quite familiar with the fact that these feilds are based on the needs of the bussiness and can be configured in IMG as required/optional or suppressed or diaplsy only.
What I am looking is
1. Are there any fileds list which is <b>Mandatory</b> for running FI AP/AR in global financial implemntation.
2. Also from FI Perspective what is <b>Good to have/Recommended fields</b> in Vendor Master and Cusotmer Master for Global Finacial implemtation.
Your help is greatly appreciated. Please point me in right direction...

OK all implementations are different so the client should have some imput here.
However you need to make sure certain address details are mandatory such as name, post code street and city.
You may always want an e mail address or phone number.
All AR & AP customer/ Vendors will need a recon account, so it is important there is one set up, but you also need to make sure in change mode this cannot be changed.
For Vendors you will require some kind of bank details and payment method.
For Customers if Dunning is being used you may need the Dunning Procedure and Accounting Clerk.
Also for a Customer there is the Sales Org view, and it is best to contact the SD consultant to see which fields are required here. The tax code, payment terms are normally mandatory.
For the Purchasing Org, I guess you would know about this...
Hope this helps.

Vendor and customer master creation

Hello, for my client most of the time the same customer works as a vendor too. so they want to automate the creation of customer and vendor master records simultaneously. Basically the requirement is to enter the data for vendor master and use the same data to create customer master with out using 2 tcodes XD01, XK01 and enter the data in 2 places.
Any suggestions are appriciated.
Venu.

Hi,
If this is a manual entry, it is not possible with in SAP, they would have to use trwo different transactions.. Moreover the data cannot be same as they are opposites.
You can add teh vendor # in the customer master and Customer # in the vendor master.. that's be all that you can do.
even if you were to use LSMW or a Winshuttle to upload data, tehformat would still be different. so this is not possibel as far as I know

Sort Key in G/L Acounts and Customer MAster Records.

Dear SAP Guru's,
What is the specific use of the Sort Key?How will this effect the Line item entry in FBL5N?
In our Company The G/L Accounts the sort key is maintained As 000 Allocation Number.
_Also In Customer Master-->Company Code Data
The Feild sort key : It is maintained "000" Allocation Number _
If I change the sort key Now after 1 year of several records updated Will the System sort according to the changed sort key?
I want the sort key to be document Number Now after a year will the previous records be shown with the immediate effect.
I have gone through this link.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/forums.
regards,
Amlan Sarkar

Sort key field is also known as Allocation field.
The u201Callocation fieldu201D is populated automatically onto line items, during document entry, based on the default sort indicator set in the master record.
When you display or change line items, they are displayed in a standard sort sequence as per sort key defined in master records.
Sort key is defined in G/L master, Vendor master and Customer master. The key defined here is taken as the default key by the system when you want to display the line items pertaining to that account.
The sort key determines what is populated in the allocation field upon posting.
Changing the sort key will only change future postings not already existing line items.
