Hi,
I have complex master data management requirement that is as follows;
Requirements
Requirement 1 - End user ability to create new pseudo master data members in BPC Excel, without admin involvement
Requirement 2 - Validation of property values input by users
Requirement 3 - End user ability to modify pseudo master data, such as modifying property values, in BPC excel
The current BPC 7.5 solution uses Microsoft Visual Basic (VBA) input screen, exporting to flat file, then nightly import scheduled to add MD to the dimension.
Although this is still feisible, I am exploring the option of customising the 'Creation of master data' functionality built into BPC 10.
My questions;
Has anyone done customisation of this nature before in BPC?
How can the data manager package work with the BAdI to enable editing? My understanding is that it only "Creates" as standard, not Edits
Is there a way to force BPC Excel to refresh master data, or do they still have to log off and log back on?
Potential Solution;
Custom report listing master data in BPC Excel dimension
Data Manager Package takes inputs of; Dimension Member ID, Property to modify
BAdI calls ABAP which replaces the parameter(s) specified
Does this sound feisible? It would be a duplication and modification of the ABAP classes for Create MD on the fly.
Thanks for any input you can give,
Nick
