Question:
All,
I have been under the assumption that for a particular infoobject (0MATERIAL), that both the text and attributes can be loaded in parallel. Since text and attributes load to two separate tables, I can't see why this would be an issue. However, there are other consultants who claim that attributes have to loaded before loading text.
We'd like to gauge outside opinions to help us decide which argument is valid. We'd appreciate any and all opinions you all may have on this.
Thanks,
Bruce
Answer:
Best way in such a case is to ask them WHY ?
If they can't explain, or if their explanation are so obscure that you don't understand, then you are probably right and they are wrong.
I personally believe you are right, while I may be wrong, as usual.
The problem is that we cannot give you any argument against them as you don't say why they told you you can't.
The only thing I can think of, is that if a text is loaded before the characteristic is created (so, we speak about the characteristic itself, even not about its attributes), they maybe think the link between both will not be made, which is wrong, thanks to the use of SID's.
[by the way, I hope Bruce is not your actual name, 'cause they are probably using this board as well ]

Answer:
No Problem - Load masterdata and text together ....
However SAP recomends that you load masterdata first ...
Why ??? they say better performance.
I have tried out the same (load masterdata and text together) and for 200,000 records the load took a minute longer.
