Question:
Hi All,
Is it possible to load Transactional data into Master Data infoobject? What are the consequences? Can any one tell me why we need to do this?
Thanks in advance,
Williams
Answer:
Oddly enough, I am working on a project right now where I need data loaded into an InfoObject from a Transactional DS as well.
I can't seem to find out how to map the InfoSource to the InfoObject.
Specifically, I have 0CO_PC_ACT_05 (Material Prices) which I have also enhanced. I would prefer to map it to an InfoObject and not an ODS. However, in trying to map my InfoObject to the InfoSource, I cannot pull it up as a DS option. How can I do this?
Williams - impact would be how the DS is defined. You can have time dependent InfoObjects, which are transactional in a sense. In the example of my DS it really wouldn't have an effect as it is a non-delta DS, just a full load each time on the defined key.
Thanks,
Stephen
Answer:
You cannot assign the same datasource to multiple infosources from the same source system.
I would suggest turning your infoobject into a data target ( provided you are on 3.0 ) and then using the same infosource to update yout ODS/Cube and also this master data datatarget via update rules .
I haven't done this myself but give it a shot .

Answer:
The other option would be to create a export datasource based on your cube / ODS and use it update the master data attributes you are looking for.

Not what I was trying to do - my message wasn't very clear upon re-reading it

Yeah, this is what I did. I don't know why it didn't occur to me right away. (I don't want the data in an ODS/Cube, just the in the InfoObject. I really do know better. Doh!
