Checking and Changing Data 

Use

The PSA offers you the option of checking and changing data before you update it further from the PSA table in the communication structure and in the current data target.

You can check and change data records to

·        Remove update errors.

If lower case letters or characters that are not permitted have been used in fields, you can remove this error in the PSA.

·        Validate data.

For example, if, when matching data, it was discovered that a customer should have been given free delivery for particular products, but the delivery had in fact been billed, then you can change the data record accordingly in the PSA.

Prerequisites

You have determined the PSA transfer method in transfer rule maintenance for an InfoSource, and have loaded data into the PSA.

Procedure

You have two options for checking and changing the data:

...

       1.      You can edit the data directly.

...

                            a.      In the PSA tree in the Administrator Workbench, select the request for which you want to check the data and choose Context menu (secondary mouse button) → Edit Data.

You get to a dialog box where you can choose which data packet and which data records for this packet you want to edit.

                            b.      When you have made your selections choose Continue.

You get to the request data maintenance screen.

                            c.      Select the records you want to edit, select Change, and enter the correct data. Save the edited data records.

       2.      Since the data is stored in a transparent database table in the dictionary, you can change the data using ABAP programming with PSA-APIs. Use the programming for a PSA-API with complex data checks or changes to the data that occur regularly.

If you change the number of records for a request in the PSA, thereby adding or deleting records, a correct record count in the BI monitor is no longer guaranteed when posting or processing a request.

Therefore, we recommend not changing the number of records for a request in the PSA.

Result

The corrected data is now available for continued updates.
