Master data problem

36 Views

I have the following problem - for a PM report in BW there are some equipment types not showing for a number of equipments. Looking at 0Equipment master data (by clicking on Maintain master data) I see there are 5 entries. The first and last entries are empty with just 'Valid From' and 'Valid To' values and the rest of the entries are fine.

Looking at the same equipment in R3 I see that the u2018Valid Fromu2019 is 1 day before the date in the BW master data.

It would appear that because of this I end up with empty equipment types for some of the equipments. The records for which I do have values in equipment type does have a value in the last entry in the 0Equipment master data. Also, the equipment types showing correctly on the report has the u2018Valid Fromu2019 in sync between BW and R3.

Looking at the PSA I can confirm that the 'Valid From' date is exactly the same as in R3 - also no funny business in the transformations. It appears as if the 'Valid From' date in the BW master data is taken from the last modified date and that somehow a new entry is created in the BW master data with this last modified date as the new value for 'Valid From'. 'Valid To' is still 9999.12.31 but all the other fields are empty.

Any idea where this extra entry in the BW master data comes from?

Thanks
