Hi,
Is there any way by which we can refer Master Data within IBP?
Usecase:
Master Data flow loads following data @ Product Location Level:
P1 L1
P1 L2
P2 L1
P2 L2
In Transaction Dataflow for particular KF, we want to refer already available Master Data in IBP,
I have 2 options which I thought could help in this scenario.
1) Create DF which exports current MD of IBP to FF.
Create DF which needs to get KF value from APO / ECC and before doing target mapping, use lookup logic with FF and get the desired output and map to target.
Issue:
--> MD created by user is also exported.
--> From Source system we may get large set of data (may create performance issue) - Assuming DF developed for getting required set of Prod Loc combination is complex and we may not want to keep a copy available.
2) Get all the combination of Prod Location from source along with KF. Map to target for particular KF. When DF is triggered it will only load values for which MD is available in Target and discard rest.
Issue:
--> We are extracting huge set of data from source. Customer needs to be educated that there will always be some records which will fail to load.
Benefit:
--> No complexity and easy to maintain
Thanks,
Purav
