CAR- POSDM General Settings:

In CAR , Master Data Filter is Blank as master data check in CAR-POSDM happens via HANA Active content,
not from BW infocubes/Tables where data has to be extracted from ECC to BW infocubes via specific
program/jobs.

By default, data included in POS transactions stored by SAP Customer Activity Repository is verified against
master data that is maintained in a source SAP ERP system. SAP ERP master data is accessed for checking
through activated SAP HANA views included in SAP HANA Live for SAP ERP and the SAP HANA Content for
SAP Customer Activity Repository.

Prerequisites-You have activated the SAP HANA views of the SAP HANA Live for SAP ERP and the SAP HANA
Content for SAP Customer Activity Repository as described in the SAP Customer Activity Repository Installation
Guide.

There are 2 options for Master Data Check –

1) Using Master Data Filter BADI (Generally used in BW-POSDM, not in CAR)
2) Using Check profiles ( recommended for CAR-POSDM)
To perform a classic master data check, you have entered the Master Data Filter value in the Define General
Settings Customizing activity and have ensured that the Checks Using Check Profile checkbox is not selected.
 If master data check using check profile is used, then master Data filter should be blank & check using check
profile should be checked ON . Then check profile (BADI’s) should be defined & assigned:

Master data check that uses check profiles (default and recommended)
Check profiles can be defined for:
o Inbound processing and to be used by the POS Workbench
o Data status determination
o Task processing

To perform checks using check profiles, ensure that:

o You have selected the Checks Using Check Profile checkbox in the Define General Settings
Customizing activity.
o For master data checking during the inbound processing and POS Workbench:
o You have specified a check profile in the Master Data Checks in Dialog
section of the Define Profiles Customizing activity. This check profile is used to verify the master data
included in transactions during the inbound processing.
o You have specified a check profile in the Master Data Check for Data
Status Determination section of the Define Profiles Customizing activity. This optional check profile is used
to verify the master data included in transactions for the purposes of Determining Transaction Data Status.
o For master data checking during the task processing:
o You have specified a check profile for individual tasks by settings the
check profile in either the Tasks One-Step Processing Define Tasks or in the Tasks Two-Step
Processing Defined Aggregation Task Customizing activity. You can specify a master data check profile for
the tasks that is different from the master data check profile used for the inbound processing or by the POS
Workbench.

Recommendation
Since SAP Customer Activity Repository uses the automatic checks to enhance the transaction data, SAP
recommends that you generally activate and process master data checks when you are processing standard
tasks for POS transactions.
