Use

Master data maintenance allows you to change or regenerate master data attributes or texts manually in BW. Data is always maintained per characteristic.

There are two different master data maintenance sessions:

·        Creating or Changing Master Data

·        Deleting Master Data at Single Record Level

Integration

You cannot run the two sessions at the same time. This means that

·        if you choose the Change function in the master data maintenance screen, the deletion function is deactivated, and is only reactivated once you have saved your changes.

·        if you select a master data record in the master data maintenance screen and choose the Delete function, the create and change functions are deactivated, and are only reactivated once you have finished deleting the record and clicked Save.

Functions

Creating or Changing Master Data:

You can add new master data records to a characteristic, change individual master data records, or select several master data records and assign global changes to them.

Deleting Master Data at Single Record Level:

You can delete individual records or select and delete several records.

Note

You can only delete master data records if no transaction data exists for the master data that you want to delete, the master data is not used as attributes for an InfoObject, and there are no hierarchies for this master data.
