Help with Broadcasting - Bursting

[sap_cohort]

Hi,

     I have reviewed the documents, blogs and documentation about bursting and I can't seem to grasp the full concept of bursting with Master Data.  I'm thinking that the functionality is very limited as there doesn't seem to be any clear examples out there.  Can someone asnwer a couple of questions that might add some clarity?  Thanks for any help with this! 

1. Can I create my own master data or dso and store the values and emails?

2. Can or does the email address have to be added to an existing master data object?

3. Can anyone let me know if bursting is possible in my situation? (and how would I configure using these 2 characteristics)

I have a report I want broadcast to a lot of email addresses(100+):  The report is basically by Sales Org and Partner. 

The email addresses I have are all assigned a Sales Org and a Partner.  All are same Sales Org in my case.  Some email address will have the same Sales Org and Partner as another and some email address will be assigned a partner range.  The red EMAILS are managers who would receive their report for the single partner and the selection of partners they are responsible for.

	Email	Sales Org	Partner	Partner
Group 1	EMAIL1	1500	1111	1111,2222,3333
	EMAIL2	1500	2222
	EMAIL3	1500	3333
Group 2	EMAIL4	1500	1111	1111,4444,5555,3333
	EMAIL5	1500	4444
	EMAIL6	1500	5555
	EMAIL7	1500	3333

Hi,

1. Can I create my own master data or dso and store the values and emails?

Yes. It is possible.

2. Can or does the email address have to be added to an existing master data object?

Yes. You have to create a new infoobject for storing Email Addresses via flat file. Finally add this infoobject as an attribute to your main master data infoobject.

3. Can anyone let me know if bursting is possible in my situation? (and how would I configure using these 2 characteristics)

It is possible. Please proceed as per above suggestions.

Have you seen "Email Bursting via Broadcasting" doc?

Thanks for the help.  I did see this document and it seems to simplistic to be of any help. 

So in my case where would I start?

Would I create a Master Object Say Sales Org Compounded by Partner and have email as an attribute?  Then take this new object and add to where? 

I'm a little confused on this still..   Thanks for any help, anyone!

You should add this Email addresses infoobject as an attribute to your master data infoobject.

What is your master data object? Is it Partner or Sales org? Whatever it is. You must add this new infoobject(which is loaded by flatfile) as an attribute.

That document is the perfect match for your requirement. Just follow it. You will be succeeded.
