Infoobject Characterisitc created with the option of BW Application

[Former Member]

Hello,

We have created Characteristics with the option of SAP BW as the application [and not as SAP APO].

We have used some of the characteristics as navigational attributes. subsequently, we have loaded and activated the master data for the main characteristics.

We have been able to successfully load the InfoCube [with the navigational attributes activated in the cube].

We have used the same characteristics in the MPOS and generated the CVCs from the InfoCube.

But when we try to load the data in the Planning area [linked to the above mentioned MPOS], we get an error message "Characteristics mapping: No data copied

Message no. /SAPAPO/MSDP_REL120"

Could you please let us know what possibly the reason could be for this?

We suspect the reason to be the way the Characteristics have been defined.

Regards,

I have seen this problem if you have 0CALDAYS defined in your time buckets profile, there is a program correction see SAP Note 774555 for the correction instructions:

Symptom

You are using transaction /SAPAPO/TSCUBE to load data from an InfoCube to a planning area. If the planning data is located in the InfoCube for exact days (InfoObject 0CALDAY exists in the InfoCube), no planning data is transferred.

In the log, the warning "Characteristic assignment: No data was copied."

Other terms

/SAPAPO/TSCUBE /SAPAPO/MSDP_REL120

Reason and Prerequisites

This is caused by a program error.

Solution

SCM Release 4.1: The source code corrections can be implemented automatically using SNOTE before Support Package 4 is implemented.

This is applicable for SCM4.1

Hope this helps

Regards
