Initial load of material classification

Hi,
We want to start using GTS to maintain tariff codes and to assign materials to tariff codes. We will start off with loading tariff codes in GTS from a dataprovider. However, we do not want to start from scratch with assigning materials to tariff codes. This information is already available in our SAP system. Does GTS provide a way to import the existing SAP material master data and load it into the material classification in GTS? If not, what is the best way to start this effort?
Regards,
Ed

Hi,
There is standard transaction where you can do mass classifications in GTS but i think there is a limitation to 3000 products at a time and in my view, it is not very effective if you have hundreds of codes to be assigned to products and it is very time consuming..
Alternatively, you will have to build a customised program and get all classifications saved in text file and load them up which is what i have done.
In my view, after implementation of GTS, tariff and commodity codes ( Include Classifications ) are supposed to be maintained in GTS by ITC and transferred over to Feeder system ( Commodity code is the only master data to be transferred over from GTS to Feeder and there is a standard transaction for doing initial transfer ).
Bad point about this standard is you will need to ask your Basis to activite the change log file in system to keep track when the commodity code is transferred.
Thereafter, you must have batch jobs running regularly at GTS and Feeder to do the transfer.
Im new in GTS so what i have said might not be entirely correct. Im still learning..
Thank you.

  • Perform rollback occurs during initial load of material

    Hi Gurus,
    When we try to do the initial load of materials, only some part of the materials are replicated to SRM. We have the R3AC1 filter of taking only the materials with Purchasing view. We have no other filter. Although there are 576 materials that match this filter, only 368 materials are replicated to SRM.
    One thing we have observed is that when we have a look at SM21 (System Log) we see "Perform rollback" actions. Below is the details of the log. Can anyone help on our issue?

  • What next...After Loading  'Material Classification' data in to BW from R/3

    Hi all,
        We want to load the 'Material Classification' data in to BW from R/3.
        0MATERIAL_ATTR and 0MAT_PLANT_ATTR are the Basis DataSources and the following DataSources are created with Tcode CTBW:
        1CL_OMAT001, 1CL_OMAT002  & 1CL_AMFG002 (for Texts).
        Suppose the DataSources are Replicated, the InfoPackages are executed. What is the next step, please? Do we have to create any InfoCube after that ?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    First you have to create info objects to load the data into.
    You then have to create infosource and assign the datasources to the infosources.
    Once you have finished your replicates and made sure that all rules (transfer and update) are active you execute the info packages and load the data to the info objects.
    After you finish with the data loading, you then run the attribute/hierarchy change run to activate the master data you loaded and then load your transaction data.
    Cheers,
    Kedar

  • Load 'Material Classification' data in to BW from R/3

    Hi all,
        We want to load the 'Material Classification' data in to BW from R/3. There is no 'Classification' tab with Tcode 'MM03' in R/3. We have very little MM functionality on R/3 with just MARA table. I have to start from the scratch on R/3 side. We don't have any MM Functional consultant.
      I read the 'Understand the R/3 Classification System and How to Extract Classification Data into BW'  document from BWExpertOnline. It will help on creating the DataSource. 
       How can I do the Material  Classification on R/3 side and what is the best way to proceed on it?
      If any one has worked on this type of request, could you please pass any document or share their knowledge, PLEASE ?
    Thanks.

    Do you know what classification data you want to define/add in the R/3 system? I think it is not a technical exercise, more of a functional work where you first have to determine your classification requirements and configure the system accordingly. Do you know what classification you want to use (any examples of how you want a particular material to be classified)? If not, this is not going to work without functional help.
    You can explore the config part in SPRO->Cross-application>Classification, and setup the data for classification from main R/3 menucross-application componentsclassification systemmaster data (characteristics, classes).

  • Error in Initial Load of Products from ECC to CRM

    Hi ,
        Im getting below errors In initial load of MATERIAL from ECC to CRM.
    <b>Data cannot be maintained for set type COMM_PR_MAT
    Data cannot be maintained for set type COMM_PR_UNIT
    Data cannot be maintained for set type COMM_PR_SHTEXT</b>
    <b>My Analysis is</b> 
      I found these set types are already assigned in other base category and around 100+ materials are created using this base category.
      After initial load of DNL_CUST_PROD1, i found these set types are not assigned to any of the categories of hierarchy R3PRODSTYP. Since R3PRODSTYP is not having above set types, my initial load is failing.
    <b>Required Solution</b>
      Is there any other way, I can download materials from ECC to CRM, with out deleting the existing materials and Z hierarchy created earlier from CRM.

    Hi there,
    Try to attach the Set Types:
    "COMM_PR_MAT", "COMM_PR_UNIT", "COMM_PR_SHTEXT", COMM_PR_BATCH, COMM_PR_LGTEXT, COMM_PR_LGTEXT1,COMM_PR_LGTEXT2,
    to the Category "MAT_" and then run the Initial load again.
    It should work now unless you have some other issues.

  • No initial load of Customers, Material and delta load of Sales Orders.

    Hi Experts,
    I am facing a very troublesome issue. I am not able to setup the Middleware portion for initial and delta loads. I read a lot of documents and corrected a lot of things. finally, the connectivity is done with R/3 and CRM. Initial load of all objects is successful (as per Best PRactices guide). Customizing load is successful.
    But after now I have these open issues for which I am unable to find any answers (am really exhausted!!):
    - Customer_main load, it was succesful, but no BP's of R/3 are available.
    - Material, it failed in SMW01, SMQ2, the errors are:
    Mat. for Initial Download: Function table not supported
    EAN xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx does not correspond to the GTIN format and cannot be transferred
    EAN yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy does not correspond to the GTIN format and cannot be transferred
    Plant xx is not assigned to a business partner
    - Sales order, it shows green bdoc, but error segments says "No upload to R/3" and the order does not flow to R/3.
    We had our system setup 3 years back for data transfer and Middleware. But few things changed and connectivity stopped. I did all that again now, but am not yet successful. Any inputs will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    -Pat

    Hi Ashvin,
    The error messages in SMW01 for MAterial initial load is :
         Mat. for Initial Download: Function table not supported
         EAN 123456789000562 does not correspond to the GTIN format and cannot be transferred
         EAN 900033056531434 does not correspond to the GTIN format and cannot be transferred
         Plant 21 is not assigned to a business partner
    I have done the DNL_PLANT load successfully. Why then the plant error?
    Some of the messages for BP:
    Messages for business partner 1331:
    No classification is assigned to business partner 1331
    For another,
         Partner 00001872(469206A60E5F61C6E10000009F70045E): the following errors occurred
         City Atlanta does not exist in country US

         You are not allowed to enter a tax jurisdiction code for country US
         Validation error occurred: Module CRM_BUPA_MAIN_VAL, BDoc type BUPA_MAIN.
    Now, the time zone EST is assigned by default in R/3. Where do I change that? I do not want to change time zones as this may have other impacts. Maybe CRM I cna change this, not for sure in R/3. City check has been deactivated in R/3 and CRM, still the error.
    Till these 2 are not solved, I cannot go into the Sales order loads.
    Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,

  • Delta loading of the material classification

    Hello,
    I use 1CL_OMAT001 datasource on order to extract the material classification from R/3 into BW.
    The load works in init/delta.
    If I change the characteristic value from its value A to ' ' (re-initialized) in R/3, the delta loading will not take into account the modification in BW and therefore, in BW I will always have the value firstly defined (A). But I would like to see ' ' for that characteristic.
    Fortunately, when I modify the characteristic value from A to B, the delta loading will take into account the modification and there will be "B" in BW.
    Did you notice the same problem ? What did you do then ?
    Anybody have a solution ?
    Thanks for your answers.
    Vanessa.

    Hi,
    we are using the same datasource and we planned to go for delta. but could not manage to do so. the data we are loading is in the range of approx 300000, so rather then going for delta we are doing full load daily with the deletion of previous request. when we think the data is getting huge we do a full load for a required period and the change the selection for the next.
    eg: in the infopackage selection for last year we had fiscal year period set to 001.2005 to 012.2005 then once the year is over we change the selection to 001.2006 to 012.2006 and through out the year we have a max of 1 mil records so works fine with us. check this with your requirement.

  • Loading material classification

    Hi,
    I am trying to load into BW data from Material Classification and cannot find a standar extractor.
    I need to load the class, characteristics and their values in relation with each material.
    I found out the 0CLASS_TYPE and 0CLASS_NUM but i cant get the transactional data for the values and link them with the material.
    Any help or documentation will be of help.
    Thanks a lot

    Hi everybody:
    I'm uploading too classification data. Could anyone send me this wonderful document to [email protected]
    I'm trying to upload classification data for class type 001 (material) and I reach it, but I have some problems with 023_batch. I've modified 0BATCH by permitting attributes (this attributes are R/3 characteristics). DataSource comes from MCHA table. Material is key field in this table, and when I upload batch master data, system says me that there are duplicated records. But really they are no duplicated.
    Well, is a little bit confusing, but if somebody knows the solution... please say me.
    Please, do not forget send me the document.
    Kind regards, and thanks in advance.

  • CIF of material classification data

    Dear Experts,
    Since a recent technical upgrade to our systems, I have seen a change in behavior of the integration of material classification data from ECC to SCM.  Before the upgrade, classification data transferred with the initial CIF of the material.   If material classification did not exist on the ECC material at the time the material was added to a new integration model and activated, we "missed the boat" so to speak.  Classification would not automatically transfer (CIF) to APO when if finally was loaded in ECC, even if the application area/integration models were correct.   As a work-around, we would be forced to generate and activate a material model that specifically excluded the material, then generate and activate another material integration model that included it again.  Then the classification would transfer.
    After the upgrade, the opposite condition is true, the "initial CIF" of the material will not transfer material classification data at all, it will only transfer if the classification data is added/changed after the material itself is transferred to APO.  As a work around for this, if the classification data is already (correctly) loaded in ECC at the time of the initial material CIF, we are changing the status of the material classification from 1 to 3 and back to 1, just to trigger a change, then the classification is transferred instantly to APO.
    Are there configuration settings that will allow material classification data to CIF in both cases: with the initial CIF of the material to SCM and also in the event of a change and/or addition of classification data in ECC?  Thanks for any advice you can provide.
    Best Regards,
    Jeremy

    Dear Matt,
    What you are looking for is achieved by downloading the customizing objects from R/3 to SRM.
    This is a must before you download materials/services from R/3 to SRM.
    Customizing objects are 4:
    DNL_CUST_BASIS3 - This takes care of Basis settings in SRM for downloading.
    DNL_CUST_PROD0 - This takes care of Material number conversions from R/3 to SRM.
    DNL_CUST_PROD1 - This CO actually brings matl groups from R/3 to SRM as product categories.
    The result you can see in trx COMM_HIERARCHY (not in COMMPR01 which is for materials/services.
    There in R3MATCLASS you can see replicated and locally crated prod categories
    and in R3PRODSTYPE you can see the material typs from R/3
    DNL_CUST_SRVMAS - This takes care of Customizing: Service Master
    The transaction for this is R3As in SRM
    and you can monitor the same through R3AM1.
    also you can check QRFC of R3 and SRM with SMQ1 and SMQ2.
    The next step after this is material/service downloading from R/3 which is done with the same trx R3AS but business objects
    Material and
    Service_master
    You can set fileter in trx R3AC1 for this.

  • Initial load of mview on a prebuilt table

    We are using 9i Advanced Replication, materialized views. The situation is, we have a number of tables utilizing FAST or FORCE on PREBUILT TABLE. The master site database is already loaded and the mview logs have been created.
    The initial creation of these materialized views does not result in the population of the prebuilt tables as expected. Only an update of the master site table will trigger a replication.
    Is there a way to trigger a replication event that would provide the initial load on a prebuilt table?

    You will need to set you mv refresh to COMPLETE, refresh your group then set them back to FAST.
    Depending on you data volumes, this might use a lot of rollback since the group is done in a single txn. Also make sure the refresh interval isn't so small that it tries another FULL refresh straight away - before you change them back to FAST.

  • Error in DNL_CUST_PROD1 Initial Load

    While attempting to carry out the initial load for object (DNL_CUST_PROD1) from R/3 to CRM an inbound queue is generated with status SYSFAIL containing the following error message:
    It is not posible to import material type to hierarchy ZBP_CRM_PT....
    (Message no. SR053)
    The Hierarchy mentioned in the message refers to one that was created manually in CRM before the initial load.
    It was under my understanding that the only hierarchy impacted by the initial load was the R3MATCLASS, then why is this error generated for another hierarchy that should not be involved?
    Regarding this issue I feel I have two options:
    1. Delete the hierarchy in CRM and restart the initial load. (The only problem here is that I have found it really dificult to carry out the deletion, because it means I have to delete products and IObjects created in CRM that are associated to this hierarchy)
    2. Try to find a way to prevent error to appear in the inbound queue. (for example in debugging try to bypass the logic that processes the manually created hierarchy)
    Please I would greatly appreciate to get an answer from anyone that has encounterd similar problems.
    Thanks in advance,
    Pedro

    Dear  Efrain Pacheco 
      Just have a look into the corresponding  entry  in ST22 .
      The problem persists due to the duplicate entries in the table T023 or .
      Delete them directly from the table using se16:
      Select the entries in the classic view (not ALV or grid view). activate the debugger.
      Press the view button. --> you'll enter in the debugger
      Press F7
      Locate the sy-ucomm variable & change it to "DELE".
      Press F8

  • Does re-running a MDM Initial Load restart from the first record?

    Is there a way to restart an Initial load?  I was running a new initial materials load in my ECC system for MDM (MDM_CLNT_EXTR) which was running a very long time (5 days).  The background job hit a bad piece of data and crashed.
    My question is: when I re-run my initial load job, will it start over from the first record, or will it pick up from the last material/IDOC and resume processing?  I would prefer not to re-process all 1.7M materials since the job was very near the end before it crashed.
    Thanks,
    Denis

    Hello,
    There are two modes which are available in Client Extractor, Initial and Delta.
    If you select Initial it will start from the first record, that you mention in the selection Criteria.
    In Delta mode, any new records created will be sent to MDM.
    For your issue, in the initial mode, select the Material Number from and to, which have not been updated in MDM.
    This is will ensure, that only the records that have not been sent.

  • Best Practice for Initial Load

    Hello,
    what is the best way of doing the initial load? is there a best practice somwhere that tells you what should be imported first?
    I want to understand the order ex,
    1. load Lookups,
    2. Hierarchies,
    3. taxonomy and attributes
    last the main table
    etc...
    I dont understand the logic.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Ario,
    If you follow any SAP Standard business content for MDM Repositories like e.g. Material.
    https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap/support/notes/1355137
    In the SAP Note attachments, you will get MDM71_Material_Content.pdf
    You will see Import of reference Data(look up table's data) 1st(step6) before import of Master data(step7).
    During Import of Reference Data(look up data), Please follow the Import Sequence by using Processing level 0,1,2 etc.
    Which take care of filling look up flat tables first then filling Hierarchies tables etc.
    After that if you are maintaining Taxonomy, You need to fill taxonomy table in Taxonomy mode of Data Manager, in the sequence (Categories, Attributes, Linkage between Attributes and Categories and lastly Attribute Values)
    After this I mean populating Reference data you need to populate Main table records along with tuples table data since now in MDM 7.1 Tuple has been replaced by Qualified table for most of the Master's but if you are still maintaining Qualified table you can import Mani table data along with Qualified table in a single step. Otherwise for Qualified table you can alos use this approach of populating Non-qualifeirs to Qualified table first before importing main table and then importing Main table data along with Qualifier's field of Qualified table.
    This above entire process for exporting data from SAP R/3 system to MDM. If you are importing data into MDM from legacy system (Non-Sap systems too), Approach should be remain same Populating Lookup tables data and lastly main table data.
    I dont understand the logic.
    The logic is simple in your main table you have fields which are look up to Reference tables( e.g. field in main table which are look up to Lookup flat tables like Countries, Currencies etc, field in main table which is lookup to Hierarchy/Taxonomy table etc). So, if these values are not populated firstly, so during your Main table import you will have incomplete data for all of these fields from main table which are look up to some other tables as values in your lookup table you haven't populated before Main table import.
    Kindly revert if you still have any doubts.
