Transferring Master Data from the BANK Analyzer SDL to AFI and other layers

Transferring Master Data from the SDL    to Upper Ba Layers

It can be either schedule to transfer the master data within a flow definition in the Schedule Manager or can start the transaction manually. For more information, see  SAP help website - Financial Reporting Process and Schedule Manager.

choose between the read procedures Delta Query and Full Query for Key Date. The “Key Date” selection parameter is used in varying ways, depending on the read procedure selected:

●     In the full query, the key date is used to select the version to be read. If, however, a version is found, the SDL also delivers the business validity.

The accounting object is then created with this validity. For example, the master data is transferred with the key date 10.01.2014. A data record is found in the SDL that is valid as of 09.28.13. An accounting object (AO) is created and given the generation date 09.28.13.

●     In the delta query, the key date is required for more technical reasons. The delta query reads all new versions, regardless of their business validity period, even if this period lies in the past or in the future. However, a key date is required by the query to be used as a selection criterion for specific SDL primary object fields, for which versions are created in a third time dimension.

(See  Versioning Primary Objects). Because these particular fields do not represent master data (for example, credit lines or guarantors) they are not of interest to the balance master data transfer, and correspondingly, neither is the key date.

●     You can find examples to illustrate the difference between full query and delta query in the  key date query and delta query documentation.

Prerequisites

●     The prerequisites listed in Transfer of Master Data from the SDL apply.

●     You have created a financial reporting preprocess .

●     If you want to use a log variant, you must create it beforehand. In the IMG, choose Bank Analyzer ®Analytics ® Accounting: Merge Scenario ® Balance Analyzer ®After Generation ® Basic Settings ® Logs ® Edit Application Log ®

Define Application Log Variant.

Procedure

       1.      In the SAP Easy Access Menu, choose Bank Analyzer ® Analytics ® Accounting: Merge Scenario ® Balance Analyzer ®Automatic Processing ® Processing Independent of Period ® General Functions ® Transfer Data From the SDL

       2.      Enter the legal entity . 

       3.      Choose a key date.

       4.      Set the “read delta” indicator if only the primary objects that have changed since the last master data transfer are to be included.

       5.      If you do not want the system to use the parallel processing tool, set the Execute Program Sequentially indicator. We recommend you use make this setting when only a small number of objects is to be processed or if you want to debug.

       6.      Choose a log variant.

       7.      Choose Execute   (F8).
