Make use of breakdown category as position attribute in BW (infoobject)

[Former Member]

Hello,

actually we want to use the attribute breakdown category (Unterkontierung) as an attribute for the position in BW.

The breakdown category is already an attribute of the position in sem-bcs. When I look into the corresponding SEM-BCS-position table I can see the row ITGRP.

I also created an InfoObject (ZITGRP) in BW which can be used as an attribute of the position.

However when I add the new Infoobject as attribute in the position infoobject 0cs_item, sem would create a second attribute for the breakdown category.

Is there any way to use the existing attribute instead?

Thank You!

One thing I forgot to mention:

Is it possible to assigning the Infoobject to an existing field using

transaction UC00 --> BW --> Mapping Info Object <-> Field Name

--> now I would like to assing the BW-infoobject zitgrp to the existing field itgrp in sem

Any idea if this would be the right solution?

Thank You!

Markus

I've heard that this kind of feature (manage the BDC upstream of BCS) is possible using the SAP Master Data Governance for Financial Data (MDGF) module

Not sure if MDGF can solve that problem.

I just want to use the existing position attribute from SEM-BCS in the position infoobject. But actually I do not not how to refer to that attribtue.

I would guess, that there is somehting like a table where I can map a sem attribute to a bw infoobject.

Hi Markus,

Please try using "customer defined attributes" - something like that, do not remember exactly by heart - in UCWB - it's a standard procedure to map BW infoobjects/attributes with those in SEM-BCS.

Hello Eugene,

thanks for your answer. For my understanding customer defined attribute would be the procedure the create a new attribute in BW and in SEM. Where can I map the existing SEM attribute?

I looked at ucwb --> master data --> customer defined attribtues

However SAP help says: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sem60ep1/helpdata/EN/b4/a87925b459f444adf60bb081c00a2c/frameset.htm
