Loading Master Data ( Characteristic ) using function module

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

Is it possible to load the Characteristic's master data using Input field in WAD in BW ?

I am thinking of building a Planning Function in IP to pick the value from the Input Field or Variable and create or insert the value to the master data ( characteristic ) ?

Planning Function would be of type exit and would call a Function module etc.

Am sure if thats feasible or not..??

Hi Bindu.

With these PF´s that you posted, can I change the attributes too?

Im my case, the infoobject has 9 attributes and all of them must be update. Therefore, these PF´s must to create a new line in the table of Master Data updating all the attributes too in some cases and must just update a line that even exists with yours attributes.

With regards.

Yes, it is possible to update the master data with its attributes using the function module RSNDI_MD_ATTRIBUTES_UPDATE. By filling the table i_t_data properly for each object in the master data, you can achieve this.

Hi Maci ,,

I think it's possible ..

You use exit function ,, but you use for init function one..

This is my suggestion:

1. You create in code init function:

a. to upload data from .csv.

b Then the data from .csv file, you create .csv file in the SAP Server.

2. Then you create info-package that upload data from file.

3. You create in code init function: You trigger the corresponding info-package.

Hopefully it can help you a lot.

Regards,

Niel.

This is possible using exit planning function in which read the input value entered by user and update the master data by calling the FM 'RSNDI_MD_ATTRIBUTES_UPDATE' and activate the master data by calling FM 'RSDMD_MD_ACTIVATE'.

I don't think updating masterdata in this way is best practice.

You can set-up a process from user to send the required values to BW admin / developer, he will update the master data filed on period basis.
