APO BW master data vs shipment history

[Former Member]

hello all,

i would like to clarify, we are creating a prototype in DP and trying lo bring master data and shipment history, does the flat file has masterdata and shipment hisotry in one file or does it have to have diffrent files for each master data and shpment history, cause i was told that masterdata and shipment history should have 2 diffrent cubes for each.

Ganeshbhai,

Master dtaa does not reside in cun=bes but ik the individual infoobjects. You have to load the master data for Infoobjects separately, either from a file or from the source system. If you are loading from a file you might need as many files as there are characteristics. Master data load will probably have descriptions for materials, locations, custimers, territories etc.

Shipment history gets loaded from a flat file.

Please work with your BI team and they should be able to help you out.
