Material Master Data upload approach

Hi,
I have a requirement to upload material master data into D.B
1. Which is the best option to use - BDC/LSMW/BAPI(Program)/Direct upload program!
2. Based on Material types fields to be uploaded will change as per sample sheet,
Can we make use of single sheet With all fields in it(By removing common fields for all Mat.Types)!
Will BAPI - BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA useful for both MM01/MM02!
What is the better approach for the same!
Thanks,
Deep.

Hi,
I have 2 queations in addition to above.
1. If i write a program using above BAPI for material master data. Then will it be better approach than LSMW with BAPI?
In this case user will trigger Z tcode & he will select input file from desktop & execute & report log will be shown in the output with successful & unsuccessful materials.
2. I have to upload material master data. Now i have got sample files for Basic, Plant & Sales organization specific.
If i have single excel file (All fields in one single sheet/line) which covers all unique fields of material master related to diff Basic, Plant & Sales organization specific data & also for all diffrent material types will that be fine (or) it usually required seperate excel sheets for diffrent kinds of data!
Please clarify about above 2 issues!
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Deep.

Material master data upload in wms

Dear all ,
Kindly explain me how to upload the material master data in WMS.
Thanx in advance.
Regards,
velu

Hi Velu
You have to load this in a normal way you do it with LSMW.
Additionally you have to update the warehouse view fields too.
Select the batch input recording in LSMW and go to the MM01 transaction enter all the required fields including WM views.
If you handle material with fixed bin strategy & Replenishment scenario, you have to create a material by selecting the respective storage type in "selection view tab"

Problem with Material Master Data Upload using MM01?

Dear Abapers,
I done recording for uploading Material Master using MM01. I selected respective views at the time of recording. Then at the time of uploading it is not selecting the Quality view and Account1 view. Even I used 'P+' function code. it is working but not selecting the 2 views. Manually, if I select those 2 views uploading successfully.
Could you please let me clear on this issue?
Regards,
Sekhar

Hi Chandrasekar,
Scrolling in the view-selecting screen wont be recorded during SHBD ( Recording ).So you need to first select Basic data1 rather than Accounting 1 or Quality management.Once you are in the basic data screen, fill the required description( if its unavailable ) and then choose the accounting 1 or quality tab.Do a fresh recording with the above approach, your issue should be solved.

Kiran

Error in uploading the material master data

HI friends,
I have trasferred the material master data through idocs from one server to another server(with in SAP only).
Outbound side the status of idoc is 3 which is OK.But inbound side ,the status is 51 and the error is 'Function module not allowed IDOC_INPUT_MATMAS01'.I debugged the function module in which the control records , data records are getting transferred correctly and also the segments data is also fine.But , i am not able to rectify the error.
Can anybody give the solut

Hi mahesh,
check the proces code may be having the FM module 'IDOC_INPUT_MATMAS01'. change with some other FM for processing the IDOC. you need check with different ways what is the problem. better dont stick on one thought.

Uploading picture to the material master data

Hi friends,
I searched the forum about this subject, however there are mostly answers related to retail sector.
I'd like to learn if ECC 6.0 could only itself is able to this. I mean is ECC 6.0 enough to add pictures to material master data or is there any configuration or customization requirement for that?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Yusuf Gezer

yes, it is possible to store images to the materials. here you have at least 2 options, DMS and GOS.
DMS is document manament system, here it is even possible to classify the images for a better search. GOS is generic object services which is available in the maintenace transactions for material master and several other objects. Pretty easy to use, but....you cannot search for the images, you always have to go into the material and fom there you have to open the GOS to see whether an image exists or not.
further you should think about the place where you store these images and other attachments, I mean in SAP table system or in an optical disc system linked to SAP, which is much cheaper diskspace than the SAP tablespace.
A migration from DMS to DMS is relatively easy and can be accomplished with IDOCs via LSWM or ALE scenario.
Migration of GOS attachements is challenging. Nothing ready for use exists in SAP to do it.

Material master data complete in bi - infoset or multiprovider

Hi all.
for one of the reporting requirement of my client i need to extract the complete material master data in BI - from MARA, MARC, MARD, MSTLB tabls.
which i have done and stored in the infoobjects - 0MATERIAL, 0MAT_ST_LOC, 0MAT_PLANT, 0MAT_SALES.
now user want to see all the information against each material in 1 single line the multiple lines will only come in when there is plant.
which approach i shoul go for this scenario.
infoset or multiprovider.
i created infoset by using inner join but then i see only common materials, left outer join is giving me problems.like -
Invalid or missing ON condition for left outer join (0MAT_PLANT)
Invalid or missing ON condition for left outer join (0MAT_ST_LOC)
Invalid ON condition for left outer join (0MATERIAL)
kindly give your suggesstions on this.
thanks
dipika

Hello,
There are restrictions regarding left outer join in infoset:
If a left outer join is used, the following restriction applies to the right table (right operand):
·        Only join conditions with exactly one other table can be defined and
·        This table in turn cannot be a right table (right operand) of a left outer join.
Tables connected with left outer joins always form the end of a chain of tables. In this way, as many tables as you want can be linked in an InfoSet with a left outer join to a core of tables that are connected using inner joins.
The restrictions on the definition of left outer joins are due to the technical limitations of databases. These restrictions do not apply to inner joins.

Master data upload into SAP system

Hello,
I want to know if there is any standard method to upload material master, customer master, vendor master and finance master data into SAP system.
I am not referring to LSMW's, BDC's and using BAPI's. I am aware of standard programs like RMDATIND for material master upload, RFBIDE00 for customer master upload and RFBIKR00 for vendor master upload. But these are using direct input method and SAP recommends this only for testing purpose. I am not sure if this could be really used in actual live scenarios.
From some other posts in the forum, I came to know about some transactions like BDLR, SXDB and BMVO. Can some one tell me how to use these T.Codes?
If some one has any detailed documentation on these T.codes or in general standard master data upload techniques please send it to [email protected]
Thanks in advance,
CMV

Hi,
Define the following attributes, using the F4 input help and F1 field help:
Report
Name of a registered program for this program type
Variant
You can only specify a variant with programs that are started directly.
With direct input, data from the data transfer file undergoes the same checks as with the online transaction and is then transferred directly into the SAP System. The database is updated directly with the transferred data.
For the documentation of other transactions please refer the correponding program documentation..which is more helpful,

Material Master Photo Upload

Hi SAP Gurus:
Is there any way to upload JPEG picture in material master data. I know we can upload acad (autocad drawing ) in BAsic data 2 of MM master data.
With Regards,
Abhijit

Hi Abhijeet,
You can attach the Documents to Material Master Using Services for Object Option which is available in the Material master top left corner. Just Select and click on Create attachment button.
If you dont have Services for Object option in mm screen then go to Menu bar System and Select Services for Object and click on create attachment.

Requirement in conversion of material master data

i have a requirement in conversion of material master data, what do i need to do in this, do i need to use the LSMW or BDC for this scenario can any one help me in this issue.

Hi Rocky,
You can go for either of these two methods.Conversion in the sense you are going to create one upload program for MM01 and will upload the data using the program
But I suggest go for BDC.Because in LSMW you can not capture all the views for material master.
I am writing steps(BDC recording) for this.Just follow if helpful:
1.Go to SHDB t-code.
2.Press NEW RECORDING
3.enter recording name,Transaction code(MM01) and then press Start recording.
This will take you to the transaction MM01,please enter the test data given by your functional consultant.Also select the views that required by client.
4.After recording save it.
5.After saving press program button from the menu.
6.This will take you SE38 with the recording code.
7.Then you do as per normal BDC program,declare internal table and map with the uploaded fields.
Shout me for further clarification.
Reward if helpful.
Thank you.

Material Master Data load failed

Hi All,
I am loading material master data. I have around 8055 records in R/3. The load has failed with an error "Non-updated Idocs found in Business Information Warehouse" and asking me to process the IDocs manually. I have checked in WE05 for the IDocs and found 3 Idocs with status 64(IDoc ready to be transferred to application).
But when I checked in the manage screen of the 0MATERIAL I could find the Transfered and Updated records as 8055. I have even checked the data in 0MATERIAL and found that all the data(8055 records) has already been uploaded.
Why is it still showing an error(load failed) even when all the data has been uploaded? What should I do now?
Best Regards,
Nene.

hi Nene/Sankar,
for material text no language please check Note 546346 - Material texts: no selection on languages
and for why idocs problem, check e.g Note 561880 - Requests hang because IDocs are not processed, Note 555229 - IDocs hang in status 64 for tRFC with immediate processing.
hope this helps.
Note 546346 - Material texts: no selection on languages
Summary
Symptom
When loading material texts from R/3 into the Business Information Warehouse, you cannot select languages.
Other terms
DataSource, 0MATERIAL_TEXT, InfoSource, InfoObject, 0MATERIAL, SPRAS, LANGU, 0LANGU, MAT_BW, extraction, selection field, delta extraction, ALE, delta, change pointer
Reason and Prerequisites
As of PI/PI-A 2001_2 Support Package 6, the selection option for the 'SPRAS' field in the OLTP system was undone in the 0MATERIAL_TEXT DataSource. (Refer here to note 505952).
Solution
As of PI/PI-A 2002_1 Support Package 4, the 'SPRAS' field is provided for selection again with the 0MATERIAL_TEXT DataSource in the OLTP system. When loading the material texts from BW, the language is still not provided for selection in the scheduler, instead all languages of the language vector in BW are implicitly requested from the source system. However, during the delta update in the source system, the change pointers for all languages in the source system are now set to processed, regardless of whether the language was requested by BW or not.
Import
Support Package 4 for PI/PI-A 2002_1_31I - PI/PI-A 2002_1_45B
Support Package 4 for PI 2002_1_46B - PI 2002_1_46C
Support Package 3 for PI 2002_1_470
In transaction RSA5, copy the D version of the 0MATERIAL_TEXT DataSource to the A version.
Then replicate the DataSources for 0MATERIAL in the BW system. The 'SPRAS' field is then flagged again as a selection field in the transfer structure of the 0MATERIAL InfoSource. The transfer rules remain unchanged. Activate the transfer rules and perform a delta initialization again.
Note 561880 - Requests hang because IDocs are not processed
Symptom
Data extraction in a BW or SEM BW system from an external OLTP System (such as R/3) or an internal (via DataMart) OLTP System hangs with the 'Yellow' status in the load monitor.
After a timeout, the request status finally switches to 'Red'.
Information IDocs with the status '64' are displayed in the 'Detail' tab.
Other terms
IDoc, tRFC, ALE, status 64
Reason and Prerequisites
Status information on load requests is transferred in the form of IDocs.
IDocs are processed in the BW ALE model using tRFC in online work processes (DIA).
IDoc types for BW (RSINFO, RSRQST, RSSEND) are processed immediately.
If no free online work process is available, the IDocs remain and must then be restarted to transfer the request information.With the conversion to asynchronous processing, it can often happen that no DIA is available for tRFC for a short period of time (see note 535172).
The IDoc status 64 can be caused by other factors such as a rollback in the application updating the IDocs. See the relevant notes.
Furthermore, you can also display these IDocs after the solution mentioned below, however, this is only intended as information.
You must therefore analyze the status text.
Solution
We recommend asynchronous processing for Business Warehouse.
To do this, you need the corrections from note 535172 as well as note 555229 or the relevant Support Packages.
The "BATCHJOB" entry in the TEDEF table mentioned in note 555229 is generated automatically in the BW system when you import Support Package 08 for BW 3.0B (Support Package 2 for 3.1 Content).For other releases and Support Package levels, you must manually implement the entry via transaction SE16.
Depending on the Basis Support Package imported, you may also have to implement the source code corrections from note 555229.
The following basic recommendations apply in avoiding bottlenecks in the dialog processing and checking of IDocs for BW:
1. Make sure there is always sufficient DIA, that is, at least 1 DIA more than all other work processes altogether, for example, 8 DIA for a total of 15 work processes (see also note 74141).
TIP: 2 UPD process are sufficient in BW, BW does not need any UP2.
2. Unprocessed Info IDocs should be processed manually within the request in BW;in the 'Detail' tab, you can start each IDoc again by selecting 'Update manually' (right mouse button).
3. Use BD87 to check the system daily (or whenever a problem arises) for IDocs that have not yet been processed and reactivate if necessary.
However, make sure beforehand that these IDocs can actually be assigned to the current status of requests.
TIP: Also check transaction SM58 for problematic tRFC entries.
IMPORTANT: Notes 535172, 555229 and the above recommendations are relevant (unless otherwise specified) both for BW and for SAP source systems.
