Master Data not updating

[Former Member]

We have found that are master data text isn't updating in APO from BW. I can see that the data is in the APO PSA but doesn't reflect in the master data object. We tried deleting the master data but the application advises that you cannot delete master data that's being referenced.

Are these problems related?

Why will the master data descriptions not update?

Please suggest a solution.

I solved the issue. There was some logic in the start routine causing the issue.

We have are pulling the description text from BW into APO via a master text load. I am loading the data into the PSA and then into the maste data object. The PSA shows the correct description. When I view the master data, the description is empty. We are updating 0LANGU, QSMATNR, and 0TXTLG. When I look at the info object table /BIC/TQSMATNR, there are no table entries.

No they're not related, you can't delete master data for keys being used in existing Cubes/ODS.

I'd need a bit more details for the issue of texts not getting updated though...
