Question creating infoobject in infoprovider

[former_member254358]

Hi,

I have a generic datasource with the following fields:

Plant  (char 15)

Plant_name (char 40)

kunnr (type kunnr)

I would like to create a master data characteristic in the infoprovider with the Plant field, which had plant_name and kunnr as attributes.

The problem is that Plant is not unique key, really the unique key is the combination of Plant and kunnr.

How I have to create this characteristic and I have to load data in this characterisitic?

Can anybody help me?

Thanks in advance.

Regards.

just to specify Patel's answer: you should add plant as a compound attribute of kunnr.

both have to be added to the datatarget.

for the plant text, you can use the standard business content extractor.

Thanks for your reply.

I would like to change 0customer and add 0custerm as a compound attribute of plant.

But, how can I enable the compounding tab?

[former_member186445]

it makes no sense to put the customer as an compound attribute of the plant. and you better not change the standard infoobjects. create Z ones.

Ok, but in case I use 0customer as compound attribute, really I'm not changing 0customer, am I?

Thanks again

I strongly agree with M.

1) never change 0-objects

2) compounding plant to customer does mako no sense at all

3) what do you mean "how to enable compound tab"? It´s always there and when you go to change mode for the info object you can add compound chars (they are not called attributes, they are characteristics)

only in case of a referencing char you will not be able to change the compounding char.

if you can not change the 0-objects, then probably because of missing auth - which in your case I would recommend.

Accept with Patel suggestion.

For Plant info object you can load attributes and text(plant name/description) data as well.

Or You can add plant name as attribute to plant itself.

It's clear,

How can I see the compounding tab in plant infoobject?

[RamanKorrapati]

Hi

From Bw, RSA1, open 0PLANT info object in edit mode.

Go to compound tab and enter/add required info object.

save and activate it.

Later do proper mapings at transforamtions levels and do the rest of the actions.

Thanks

[former_member254358]

Sorry I hadn't seen the tab.

One question, is it possible to add 0customer as compound attribute in plant infoobject?

Thanks.

[RamanKorrapati]

Need to scroll(blue color area) tabs to extreme right.

Adding customer as compound is possible. But need to think about uniqueness combination of plant and customer.

[former_member186445]

DON'T CHANGE THE 0PLANT infoobject!!! this is a standard one. if you change this one, all objects in which it's used are becoming inactive!!!

Best is to create a Z infoobject for your customer and add the plant as a compounding attribute.

You can check 0MAT_PLANT, which is a compounding of material and plant.

Hello Roig,

Its clear from your requirement that you can add Plant name as text of the Plant Info object,

and for Plant and Kunnr uniqueness I would Suggest you to go with Compounding the object.

For more information please refer below link.

Thanks everybody,

the theory is clear, what I don't see is how to add the compounding tab?

And, is there any problem if I add kunnr as compound attribute of plant?

Regards.
