Program for Consistency Checks 

Use

Changes (including deletions and additions) of content, and particularly changes to the structures of selection tables, can render the relationships between the Customizing settings and the referencing master data invalid. Consequently a tool is required that detects such inconsistencies. You can use program CACS_PS_MDCU_CHECK to do this. This program carries out various consistency checks on selection criteria and distribution ratios.

Features

This program currently only checks the relationships between entries in the selection tables for the simple determination on the one hand and the distribution ratios of all the related partnerships on the other. The program checks whether all the required master data exists for each technically (effectively) valid characteristics combination in Customizing.

This program does not carry out any additional consistency checks, for instance with regard to separation rules or the relationships with indirect participants，or the contract type of the group contract.

You can restrict the partnerships to be checked by using the selection parameters.

Activities

...

       1.      Call the report by entering its transaction name CACS_PS_MDCU_CHECK.

       2.      Enter the commission application. This is a required entry.

       3.      Set the Terminate on Error indicator, if applicable.
If the Terminate on Error indicator is set, you can determine whether the consistency check terminates on the first error.

For more information on the use of this indicator, see the field help.

       4.      Enter either an interval of partnership types or an interval of selection tables.
You can restrict the hitlist, if required. The system searches for partnerships with a particular partnership type or partnerships that use the specified selection tables.

       5.      Enter the time you would like the program to run the check.
The technical access time stamp lets you specify the knowledge status you wish to check. The default setting is the current time for the test.

       6.      Also enter an interval of partnerships, if applicable.
To reduce the hitlist further, you can specify an interval of partnerships (contract bundle number) within which the hitlist should be located.

When you execute program CACS_PS_MDCU_CHECK, you receive a list of partnerships in which the system has detected inconsistencies between the master data and Customizing. The partnerships are listed in an ALV grid control with a short text. You can navigate to the contract bundle through the column that identifies the partnership.
