Mass update of huge list of Material master records

Hi dudes,
I want to update 1 field for the huge list of material master record, i.e., statistics field in sales org 2 tab.
please help
regards,
madhav

SAP has designed its system to use the standard transaction way to update any fields, no direct table update should be made.
I have seen so many direct table updates in my career, and what do you think why I have get knowledge about that?
Because it was done incorrectly.
There are that many dependcies in SAP, you never really know them all.
People changed (or deleted entries) in one table, but forgot the update in a second dependend table.
You should be a very experience consultant before you may consider direct table updates, and when you became an experience consultant, then you know that you will not do that.

Mass update of email in the vendor master record

Hello to you all,
Does anyone know how can I run mass update of email in the vendor master record for a big No. of entities?
XK99 won't help since you can't find the email,
Batch input recording won't help as well since the email can't be found.
I will appreciate your help,
Amir

Hello Amir,
You can use LSMW for update operation. You should create a batch input recording for transaction FK02. But you must tick "Use central address management" checkbox on FK02 screen while recording batch input. After that you will see E-mail field on screen.

Report For list of material Master with PO text

Hi all,
I need a report whether it is available in Standard SAP or a customized, for List of Material Master with their PO text.
If any one can help, please reply to this theard.
Regards,
Kapil Kulkarni

To get the material number combined with the PO text you will need the help of an ABAP programmer. The programmer can create a report for you using the function module READ_TEXT in the function group STXD. The tables to use are:
STXH - STXD SAPscript text file header
STXL - STXD SAPscript text file lines
The selection screen should have at least the following:
OBJECT - STXH-TDOBJECT
NAME - STXH-TDNAME
LANGUAGE - STXH-TDSPRAS
TEXTID - STXH-TDID
You find the information for these fields by going to the PO text entry screen and displaying the header information under Goto -> Header. For materials, the object is MATERIAL, the name is "material number", the language is "EN", and the text ID is BEST. You can use this program to get long text in lots of places like information records, purchase order texts, etc.
Hope this helps.

Updation of Consumption values in material master

Dear Experts,
For a FERT ,
When I use strategy 40 , Consumption values ( PGI - Deliveries )are getting updated in MM02 in Forecast view.
whereas,
When I use strategy 50 , Consumption values are not getting updated in MM02 in Forecast view.
Is there any setting to control this updation of Consumption values in Material Master ?
Regards,
Sheik

Hi,
Update of consumption is based on movement type, and you can decide which movement types should have or have not consumption updating.
Check in transaction OMJJ if the movement types in question have indicator "Consumption posting" (field V_156_VC-KZVBU) as marked.
If it is the case, consumption is updated, opposite for un-ticked.
Hope that helps.
Thanks.

List of material master

Dear experts,
We had a query sorting the list of material master, based on the "old material number" (MARA-BISMT ) and "material number" (MARA-MATNR.) It was running in BI.
Then our user added the requirement to be able to select by "sales org"(TVKO-VKORG ), "disctribution channel" (TVKOV-VTWEG ) and "division" (TVTA-SPART.)
And our BI developper said it was impossible to achieve this. So we had an ABAPper take over and develop it.
But I wonder why this is not possible and I thought I'd ask the community about this.
Is this because we are using master data data source?
I'm really looking forward to reading you.

Re: Populating Additional data in Material master record

Hi,
I am creating material master record using BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVE_DATA. I am using the below function modules to populate date in Additional Data Tab. I am getting the existing material details from BAPI_MATERIAL_GET_ALL and passing it to
BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVE_DATA variables. I can create material successfully, but "PROPORTION/PRODUCT UNIT"   TAB in Additional Data Tab is not populating.
Program populates this data for some materials and for some materials not. For example, when I try to create a new material by copying existing details from 1234 , New material will be created   with 12345(say), but "PROPORTION/PRODUCT UNIT"   TAB in Additional Data Tab is not populating.
Now If I put a break point, to find out what could be the issue , and then press f6 , and re-execute program for the same material 1234, then my custom program can populates data. I know its sound wiered, but I am not able to solve the issue.

Any suggestions ...

Hi Karthik,
Thanks for your reply. It worked. But now I am facing strange issue. As you see my code above, i am using VBWS_UOM_MAINTAIN_DARK to update Addition data tab. however, the values of internaltable gt_meinh_ws_upd was not updated correctly inside the material master.
For example, I am filling gt_meinh_ws_upd table with the below values
gt_meinh_ws_upd-wsm = 'OZT'
gt_meinh_ws_upd-atnam ' ZABCDE'
gt_meinh_ws_upd-atwrt = 0.0023
append gt_meinh_ws_upd.
but when i see in material master,   gt_meinh_ws_upd-atwrt = 0.0023 is updated with 23, instead of 0.023. I debugged th func. module many times, I didnot come acroos the code what making it to 23.
Any Idea karthik...
Thanks in Advance

In my case, the GR checkbox in the PO was automatically ticked.
Can anyone help on this please.

Customizing Error Message in ME23N
When displaying of modifying Purchase Orders with a document type of Framework Order, a user selects the LIMITS tab, they get the error message Customizing incorrectly maintained, message number SE729.
The problem is caused by version upgrades of the SAP software.
Number of entries in table T162V is different to the number of columns in table control for screen SAPLMLSP (400). You can use screen painter SE51 to display the screen. View the Element list for TC_VIEW.
The list of fields can also be viewed within the program. Transaction code ML81N (service entry sheet), program SAPLMLSR. Click on the Configuration button (top right hand corner) select Administrator. This shows the number of fields as 67.
Using SE16N to view table T162V shows 69 fields. This table contains six layouts (variants), they must all be the same. Before the change the total count was 414 (69 x 6).
The ME23N transaction only checks that the number of entries is correct. You will notice that the fields are not in the same sequence, but that should not matter if you donot use the service transaction ML81N and it is not a selectable tab on ME23N.
Transaction SM31 was used to delete the extra fields. As this is a SAP table, you may need extra authorisations to make the change.
Note: the number of fields shown above will be different in each site. This is because of different SAP versions and in what software is loaded.

Classification Data Creation for Material Master Record

Hi all.
I've a batch that update material master record with a Bapi "Bapi_material_savedata". After Material creation or changing we also need to insert or to change a classification data in the classification view of the material master record.
Is there a function module that could be useful to update the classification data of a material?
Thanks
Carlo

Hi Ravikumar,
I tried to use the function module, but it doesn't works well, is it necessary thet material must have the Calssification view already set on?
Thanks

Material master record: Brands

Hi
There is a field in the material master record where we can fill it with the brand of the material?
There is a field specifically for this information? Maybe we can use Prod./insp.memo in basica data2 view.
Thanks for the help
Regards
Enzo

Thanks for your answer. We are already using Ext. Material Group. The idea is use a field that is only informative and will not have impact in the future operations. Maybe using a field with configuration values brings problems in the future.
What are the information fields are used in this cases?
Define a new Characteristic and Class and assign the class under classification view is another alternative and very prolix but we have to update 50.000 materiales and we dont have the tool to do this activity.
Thanks again.

Material master records

Hi,
   i tried to initialize period for material master record and i am getting error * follow the instruction in note 487381 before initialization* .any suggestion would be appriciated thanks
cheers
jothi

Hi
FYI--from sap note
the initialization of a posting period has the following effects concerning the period stocks:
The initialization of the posting period to a previous or to any posting period may lead to the loss of the information of the inventory balances of the previous periods.The book value of the current posting period is taken as the basis also for values of the previous period in this case.
           If you want to continue working with this new posting period, in addition you should execute report Z_DEL_HIST_ENTRIES attached so that history entries greater or equal to the new posting period will be deleted.
If you have to briefly reset the posting period by one period (for example, postings must still be posted in a certain period) just to make a correction (and for a small number of postings), you should initialize the posting period back again to the old value so that the values of the previous period will not be lost (you should forbid postings when carrying out corrections).
           However, afterwards the values of the previous period or the history records (as of Release 4.5) of the materials posted in this case are inaccurate.
           You should NOT execute report Z_DEL_HIST_ENTRIES in this case.
However, if the posting period is generally reset again to a previous posting period and if postings were made during this time, all information on the inventory balance of the previous periods is lost.
           As of Release 4.5a, you should use the cited correction report Z_DEL_HIST_ENTRIES in order to delete history records that are more current than the current posting period.Otherwise, it can result in deviations (inconsistencies) for the update of the history records.
Important! If there are open physical inventory documents that have status 'counted' or for which indicator 'Freeze inventory balance' has been set, you should reject these if they refer to a previous period or have been created in the former previous period.The inventory difference to be posted can be determined from the current book value of the previous period and the book quantity frozen in the physical inventory document (ISEG-BUCHM) and does not match the inventory balance of the previous period that is currently valid.

How to enter a material on SO without a Material Master Record?

Hi guys,
Pls help me 2 flowing problem:
1. How to enter a material on SO without a Material Master Record? And all case need to enter a material on SO without a Material Master Record.
2. How to use customer material number if there isn't Master Data
Thanks

Hi Friend,
I dont think we can go with a sales order with a material without material master record.
But there are some cases where in we can create a sales order by entering a material which does not have a material master.
1. Through material determination
You can create a material determination for a material (1234) which exists in sap by a material(XYZ) which does not; For example in VB11 you can create a material determination for a material 1234 ( exists in sap) through a material XYZ which does not exists in sap.
While creating the sales order when you enter the material XYZ is not give any error and automatically determine the material 1234 which exists.
2. Text material
We can create a order/quote by directly entering a text in the material description and without entering the material. This the case for text material wherein text item category will be determined.
Please let me know if this help you. Else kindly elaborate the scenario.
