Initial Transfer of Material Master to GTS

Currently we are looking to transfer material master records(Initial) specific to only few plants as the GTS implementation is with respective to only a specific country. We have about 250,000 material master records from this plant but the MARA table in the feeder which stretches across multiple countries has a count of 4 Million.
We intend to develop an enhancement around the user exit SAPLSLL_LEG_PRR3_002 to support this requirement.
Is there a way to transfer this data without an enhancement only restricting to specific plants? My understanding is this would be an issue which is common to implementation teamsas usually only one or few countries go live on GTS per release.

Hi,
You will have to code this filtering logic in the user exit that you had mentioned. There is no standard delivered solution for this.
Btw, when you say you are going to use initial transfer option any other specific reason for looking into filter logic?
Selection screen of initial transfer has material number as input. Why not download ur 250000 product and transfer those in chunks. Just a QN.
But filtering material transfer is possible with enhancement.

Delta CIF of Material Master

Hi Experts,
We done some enhancment to have the material division to be CIF to APO through extra tab. The enhancment is added in CIFMAT001 user exit. We dont have issue during initial CIF of material master but during delta CIF the changes is not reflect or carried out to APO. It seems that the user-exit is not called during delta transfer. Is there anyway to have the changes move to APO with delta transfer for material amster?
Thanks
Regards,
Lhon
Edited by: lhon26 on Feb 14, 2012 9:17 AM

Hi Lhon,
Usage of the exit is a little bit different in initial and delta transfer, I also faced some issue once.
But the changes needed in the code are quite technical, I am not sure what the ABAP person did in our case so that the enhancement became active for both the scenario of Initial transfer and delta change.
If you talk with some good ABAPer who has worked on APO related enhancements, he should be able to help.
Thanks - Pawan

Material define for shipping in material master.

Hello,
My client is used the trading goods process,they have to imports the goods.They want to define the material shipping as initial phase in material master,it has to come by sea or air,requirement is that they define the material in purchasing in material master so that it come in po that will change if material is come instead of sea or vice versa. Is there any possibility to define shipping in material master and this tab come in PO to change it.
Please provide the solution how to solve this requirement.
Regards
Rahul

Hi Rahul
Material master is does not control route of the material where as vendor location does... explore the option of Purchasing info records ... I think Inco-Terms most frequently used to identify that material coming by Sea, rail or road etc
I would not recommend to meet this requirement using material master.
Thanks,
Jagdeep

SAP SCM Upgrade to 5.0, Material Master Initial Transfer Issue

Dear Folks,
We are doing an upgrade to SCM 5.0 for a client and are facing the issue of material master initial transfer. The changes to exising material like Proc type etc. travel seamlessly but while we try to create a new material in R/3 and transfer it to APO or if we delete an existing product in APO and re-transfer the material from R/3, it simply doesn't happen. We donot get any kind of errors also. We have tried various suggestions and solutions but all have failed. To summarize the activites that we have done to check the issue, please see the track below.
Action                                                              Observation
1. Observed queue blocks on R/3 and APO sides:            No blocks.
2. Important logs on R/3 as well as APO side:                No error logs on CIF observed.
3. Check material master data fields in R/3 relevant and necessary for APO: Done
4. Check the APOKZ flag in MARC Table:                        Done
5. Check OSS relevant notes for the issue:                      Done
6. Check CIFMAT and MATLOC tables in APO:                Done
7. Check the TRFCQIN and TRFCQOUT tables in APO     Done; nothing relevant to CIF observed.
8. Debug CIF and find the issue                                       No breakthrough.
9. Check location and location pre-requisites for CIF         Done
Now we have raised OSS notes to SAP and are awaiting a solution.
I request all Gurus to pitch-in and suggest possible issue here and perhaps a solution too. I am very hopeful that some one might have faced similar issue and have found a solution to the same.
Warm Regards,
Chandra

This required packaging materials to be CIFed first before transferring the other materials. Issue resolved, SAP issues a note on this.

In SOP- transfer forecasted values from material master to info structure?

Hi All,
I wanted to test out a few scenarios. Do you know the answers / can you help simulate and check the below?
1.     If I run the forecast using different models for different materials using the total forecast run (MP38), the forecast values will get updated in the material master. Can I get these values transferred directly into the SOP (standard or flexible), without re-running the forecast in SOP? What I am looking at is a possible scenario where individual materials have different forecast model, so do not want to run forecast from SOP using one model for all.
2.       Can you have the capability of selecting diff model (say based on material master data) in SOP for diff materials? When I ran SOP, the model I specify there for forecasting is applied for all materials
3.       If I upload historical values/forecasted values in the material master, can I directly transfer them to SOP without any change to the value?
Appreaciate your inputs.

Non-SAP to SAP Material Master Data Transfer

Hi Experts,
Please indicate any standard tools in SAP and how to use it wherein we can migrate non-SAP material master data to SAP.
Points will be awarded.
Regards,
LM

Hello Leo,
There are a number of options to do this. You can use the standard SAP tool named LSMW - Legacy System Migration Workbench (transaction LSMW) as a starting point.
Also please read this [Documentation|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/0d/414538bc0fe927e10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm] before undertaking the data migration activity via LSMW.
Additionally, there is also a Direct Input program available named RMDATIND - please go through the program documentation before you use it. You can use this program to transfer material master data to SAP but
make sure you assign this program through LSMW for mapping structures etc. The internet link above will give
more details and step-by-step instructions to follow.
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Sougata.

Not able to transfer changes in material master (periodic)

Hi Friends,
Got an issue here. I am not able to transfer the changes I made in material master. I want this as periodic, Made the specific setting in CFC9. And for your information 'Activate ALE Change Pointers Generally' and for massege type are activated.
But when I execute CFP1 I got massege: 'No appropriate master data changes: Transfer has not happen'.
I made changes in material master (global level),..like gross weight changed. Material is in active IM, no duplication.
Any help Please? We are on SCM 7.0.
Thanks,
Satyajit
Edited by: Satyajit Patra on Mar 20, 2010 9:12 PM
OK, Guys I think I need to raise an OOS... It was for SCM 7.0, but was basic config....thts why I edited the thread so many times expecting some responce.
Edited by: Satyajit Patra on Mar 22, 2010 7:41 AM

Hi Satyajit,
Please look at OSS Note 1069560 - Data inconsistencies: Activating integration. models in parallel, if this helps you.
Since Gross data of material is in the basic view, it is common across plants , whereas, IMs are normally designed to have material masters at plant level.
We may have same material in different IMs with different plants. Therefore changes of the basic view fields are then contained in multiple IMs. SAP advises to have a larger IM or sequential activation of IMs.
I hope this will help you .

Change of material master during transfer between SRM and R/3

Hi,
I have a question for modifying material master data between R/3 and SRM.
I would like to know if it is possible to change the material number during the transfer. The reason is:
I have 2 R/3 backends and 1 SRM system. The material codes in the 2 R/3 systems are different but some materials having different numbers in R/3 are referring to the same material. I want to see such materials with the same material number. Is it possible to do this with Middleware plus some interruption in between? The "translation" should be bi-directional.
Thanks

Hi,
No probs if the field is not replicated.No idea how to bring that through replication though.
Coming to the Product Search...Although the number of such materials is less...You will have to modify the Product search which will take care of the display of other products as well.
The Std product search(<b>bbph_product</b>) uses the the search help exit "<b>BBP_F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_PRODUCT_GEN</b>".So you need to replace this one with your custom FM.
In your custom FM,you will have to check for the HARMINIZED code field for all such materials and accordingly while selecting the Material select the HARMONIZED code as the Material number and in the Product search display that HARMONIZED code as the "PRODUCT ID". Also,you will have to develop RFC enabled FM which will actually fetch all the Materials from the BAckend at runtime. Also are you displaying the Product List Plantwise?
Pls give me ur mail ID where i can mail you the sample code.
BR,
Disha.
Pls reward points for helpful answers.

How to transfer Material Master data information from ECC to CRM

Hi ,
Changes to the Classification data of Material master for the class type-001 and Custom
ZFIELDS on mara will trigger the Interface functionality. Any changes to the
custom zfields and classes or characteristic values on Material Master must transfer the information from ECC to CRM. By using RFC .

Hi,
You need to use change pointer to do this. Go to transaction SALE,
expand MODELLING AND IMPLEMENTING...
expand MASTER DATA DIST...
expand REPLICATION OF MODIFIED DATA
You may need to maintain distribution model in SALE.

Transfer Material Master (MATMAS) Idoc into Retail Article Master (ARTMAS)

I need to transfer data from an SAP 4.7 ERP system that is set up for material masters to a different SAP 6.0 system that is set up as Retail.
The question is which system should be doing the conversion to the ARTMAS
Option 1: The outbound IDOC would be a MATMAS05 and it would be recieved and converted on the Retail side to an ARTMAS doc to create the articles.
If this is the case do you know how this needs to be set up on the retail side, for this conversion to occur.
Option 2: Translate the material master and send out an ARTMAS IDOC from the ERP system In this case I think that we will need a lot of custom code, and the SAP sending box will need to perform conversions that are known only on the retail side.
I am not really asking for the exact configuration set up
What I am looking for is how if other companies are doing this which option is considered the standard/best practice

Question was never answered we will need to determine how best to do this.

Material Master data transfer to external system

Dear All,
We are creating the Interface between SAP and MES system for transfering the material master. The plan is to use the standard Idoc type/message type i.e is MATMAS05.
I have done basic settings like defining parnters, port, partner profile etcc. and trying to trigger the IDoc using transaction code POIM. I am getting a message called " "0 Idocs were generated (According to the selection and filter)". I could not findout why system is throwing this message.
Please help in this issue.
Regards,
Senthilraja

Thanks Uwe,
I tried to create IDoc with BD10 for material master and I am getting two error msg as below.
Msg one
1 master IDocs set up for message type MATMAS
then Msg two
0 communication IDoc(s) generated for message type MATMAS
Is it able to get why this msg is comng and no IDoc's were generated..

Material Master data transfer using IDOC

Hi,
I am working on integration scenario with SAp ECC. we are using SAp PI wherein SAP PI is posting data In SAP ECC using standard IDOC for Material master i.e MATMAS05
You might be aware that while material master creation if we pass Plant value then we can activate all Plant related views i.e. Purchasing, sales plant general, MRP views and Accounting etc...
I have a scenario where I want to activate only Sales plant general view...donot want MRP and purchasing views to get activated
I tried passing only Plant and profit center value which required for sales plant general data view and keeping all other fields blank but it doesnot work.
can you suggest a way.
Cheers
Rc
P.s - I am using xml file which will be converted into IDOC by PI.

you must not create all segments in the IDOC if you dont want the views.
e.g. E1MBEWM is used for the accounting data. without this you wont get that view.
