Business Information Warehouse for SAP (Prima Techs SAP Book Series)
Enhancing master data is similar to enhancing transaction data. One simple way to extend master data content in the SAP R/3 OLTP side is to define a new view and assign that view to the InfoObject transfer structure using the following steps for SAP BW 1.2B:
-
Copy or change the master data extraction view using transaction SE11. For example, copy a customer view BIW_KNA1 to BIW_KNA5. Here you define additional fields in a new view.
-
Change the structure in table RODCHABAS using transaction SE16. Select a master data object, such as 0CUSTOMER, and change its default BIW_KNA1 view with BIW_KNA5.
-
Using transaction SE38, execute program RSAO003 to assign new fields to the InfoObject.
-
Add this new InfoObject in the InfoSource so the receiving SAP BW knows the new metadata.
-
Go back to SAP BW and upload new metadata, as shown in Figure 13-5.
