DATA UPLOAD PROCESS IN MDG FROM ERP

Data upload is one of the critical activity in any MDG project. Before Go-Live o
ne has to upload entire master data from ERP system to MDG hub.
This process has many steps and outlining the steps below for Financial master d
ata upload for following objects

Upload all the Group accounts and then upload all GL at company code level
1.
Create a Change request type in MDG for data upload. Do not select singl
e object or collective processing option.
2.
In MDG using Distribution monitor
File upload method create the structur
e for Account
3.
Create a layout for Account object and save the variant
4.
Take the SKA1 dump in your ECC system and create a layout similar to you
r MDG layout
5.
Take the data from ECC in excel
6.
Save the excel file in tab delimitated Txt format. Make sure to use Unic
ode if you have different language data
7.
Go back to MDG and create a change request for Account data upload so th
at we can start loading the data
8.
In 1 CR, we can accommodate maximum 5000 records. We can write a Z progr
am to approve the CR from backend.
9.
Now execute the USMD_DATA_TRANSFER_BACKEND program
10.
Give the required details and the entity type to upload the data
11.
We can run this program in background or in foreground. For background p
rocessing we have to create a logical path, upload the file on AL11 and update t
he path name in variant created in NWBC
12.
If the file is in proper format and with proper records, data will get u
ploaded in the CR
13.
Approve the CR through NWBC
14.
Account data is loaded in MDG tables Table name - /1MD/MD______001 and /
1MD/MD______009

Data upload process for loading Profit / Cost center master data

Before we load the hierarchy structure for CC and PC, we have to load all the PC
and CC from ECC to MDG. The process is
1.
Create the file structure in MDG NWBC for CC and PC
2.
Create a layout and save it as variant in NWBC which will be used in the
upload program
3.
Take the table dump from ECC for PC the table is CEPC and Cost center it
s CSKS
4.
Create similar variant in ECC (same as your NWBC variant as we may not h
ave all the fields in MDG) and take the dump in excel
5.
Save the file in text format
6.
Create a CR for data upload
7.
Now use the data upload program - USMD_DATA_TRANSFER_BACKEND to upload C
C and PC master data
8.
Choose the proper entity type. For e.g for CC
its CCTR and for PC its PC
TR.
9.
Execute the program either in foreground or background depending upon no
of records. At a time only 1 person can execute this program as it locks the en
tity type and we can load the data in 1 CR only. We can t run this program in batc
h
10.
Once data upload finishes, approve the CR and data is in MDG tables
Data upload process for loading Hierarchy

CC and PC

The CC and PC hierarchy data is stored in Sets and Set class. SAP has provided a
program to download entire hierarchy data in text file from ECC system and load
these files in MDG.
1.
Execute the KBAS_MDGF_SET_DOWNLOAD program
2.
For Profit center Group Set class is 0106 / For Cost center group
0101
3.
Give all the required parameters like controlling area and the other val
ues
4.
Execute the program
5.
The program generates 3 files
Hierarchy name / Groups / Assignment of gr
oups under each groups and assignment of PC or CC under the respective groups
6.
Once these files are created, go to NWBC and create a structure for PC /
CC hierarchy / PC and CC Group and assignment separately
7.
Create a Change request to load the PC / CC group / hierarchy. The CR sh
ould have all the entity types like Hierarchy
group and PC or CC in it and don t t
ick single processing or object required
8.
Create a CR in NWBC
9.
Make sure that all the profit center data is loaded before we start hier
archy load and make it available in table in MDG
10.
Create proper layout for each file in NWBC and save it as variant
11.
Load the hierarchy name file first using USMD_DATA_TRANSFER_BACKEND
12.
Load the group file after hierarchy
using USMD_DATA_TRANSFER_BACKEND
13.
Load the assignment file at last using USMD_DATA_TRANSFER_BACKEND
14.
Once done, we can check the entire hierarchy with all the assignment thr
ough Collective processing

Data upload process for loading Hierarchy

Cost Element

For Cost element data upload the process is exactly same as Cost center and Prof
it center but we have to make sure on few points
1.
2.

Make sure that all the General ledger accounts are in system
Cost element table CSKU and CSKB

3.
Load the cost element group using the same program in ECC
F_SET_DOWNLOAD program Set 0102 and 0109 for account group
4.
Follow the steps as mention for CC and PC above

using KBAS_MDG

Data upload process for Financial Statement version

Data upload process for FSV is slightly different then CC / PC and CE. First we
have to load the data from ECC for all Financial statement versions. Upload them
in MDG through the upload program. Listing down all the steps here
1.
Execute program - FBS_MDGF_FRS_DOWNLOAD in ECC
2.
Fill up all the required fields and save the files on presentation serve
r
3.
In MDG, create a CR to load the FSV.
4.
Make sure that the CR is in process
Changes to be executed status
5.
In MDG, create a variant through NWBC Distribution monitor Data upload
6.
Save the layout for Financial statement Version and Financial statement
Item
7.
Then execute program - USMD_DATA_TRANSFER_BACKEND in MDG
8.
Give the variant name saved through NWBC and fill up all the required fi
elds.
9.
Execute the program. If data is fine and everything is in place, data wi
ll be uploaded in the Change request assigned to you
10.
Approve the CR and the data is in MDG tables
11.
You can view the FSV using collective processing.
