Time dependency Reading Master Data

[Former Member]

Hi experts

We are reading time dependent master data (0COSTCENTER) into the data flow of transactional data.

Currently it is set to "current date".

If you create now a new costcenter starting from 01.01.2014, valid up to 31.12.9999, and load planning data also valid for the next year, then master data of the current date is loaded.

To prevent this and get the most recent master data you would have to flag the "End" button. Am I right?

Thanks

Hi Thomas

You can specify Start date and End date by clicking on Start and then select from and then click End and select from.

Try and confirm..:)

I cannot click on Start or on End, but I am not able to select a date.

As all master data has an end date of 31.12.9999 you can also set a constant on 31.12.9999.

Do you agree?

Lets try with choosing Constant date 31.12.9999 and load master data . Better you will come to conclusion after validating data randomly.

Hi Thomas,

Can you check if your datasource has any date field for start date and end date, for time dependent master data we can have a start and end date values.

If not then you can put as 31.12.9999 and once you get new record with some start date it will divide this record and create new one.

Dear Thomas,

To which info object you are trying to read 0COSTCENTER as master data.

Let’s say if it is profit center, if you find multiple cost centers for one profit center - then you need to worry about time dependent objects.

Generally there will be 1 : 1 relationship between most of the entities. If not, to get latest record make End date at Read master data option to capture latest record.

Best Wishes,

Vijay
