Assingment in Tuple

[rajesh_chavan]

Hi,

Here is my scenario,

Refer Material Data model, Location data tuple. I would like to default 3 PLant Values (rows) whenever new Material records is created in Data Manager. the Plant values are fixed like 1, 2 and 3. Other values like Plant related alues will be maintained by respective Users.

HOw can we achieve this? Will assingment help?

Cheers,

RC

Hi Rajesh ji,

To confirm my understanding: You want 3 entries in the location data tuple by default for each new material being created,right?

Tuple does not support assignments,as discussed in the above post one way can be to create a mechanism to send the data for these 3 plants using PI.Since it is the same file we are sending again and again for different materials,we can omit changing data model.Just do one time syndication or prepare a source xml which can be put in the ready folder of a TUPLE_DEFAULT_VALUE port by PI as it puts a xml in READY folder for creation of material(You can syncronize it accordingly).

So as Material gets created this default data gets imported in to MDM.

NOTE :SET TUPLE Update option should be based accordingly based on Plant,Flag for deletion at various level etc

Other method could be using Java APIs,not a big effort required here too.

Hope that helps.

Thanks,

Hello,

Assignment on Tuple is currently not supported, some have claimed that in SP08 assignment on tuple is there but SAP has not verified the same.

IF you have a PI/XI system in your landscape, you can create custom lookup fields in main table, and have assignment on these as per requirement.

Then syndicate this so that PI/XI picks ups this xml file and places this xml back in the import port.

The map for this import port, will have a mapping which is the custom lookup to the Tuple field.

This is a workaround for tuple assignment.

One other option is to custom Java Web Dynpro Solution if you have EP(Enterprise Portal).
