Updating Master Data 

The master data table of info object 0Orgunit (with its attributes Cost center and Location) is used to read the assigned location or organizational unit during the update of data from various applications.  This is achieved by using update routines.

For the individual applications, this means:

·        Logistics

For the characteristic Location, reading of the location is not necessary as it has already been provided at location level from the related InfoSources if R/3 is implemented across-the-board.

However, because the organizational unit is updated in the InfoCubes as well as the location, the assigned organizational unit must be read.

·        FI/CO

During updating, the assigned location must be read, as the InfoSource generally provides information about the cost center.

During updating, the system selects the above-mentioned master data table and reads the relevant location for the cost center that was determined. The information is then updated in the Cube for the location that was found.

·        HR

During updating, the assigned location must be read, as the InfoSources provide information on either the master cost centers or the organizational units. Here, too, the assigned location must be read so that the information can be updated in the InfoCube for the stores in question.

Master data is read as follows:

...

       1.      Each time an update is performed, the system reads the time-dependent master data from table 0Orgunit to an internal table.

       2.      For each key figure, the system then determines the assigned location or organizational unit.
