Material master - time period - urgent

Hi friends
I need one information,
One workflow is triggerred, how can i calculate the time period
of workflow from starting to end..
Before workflow complete how can i calculate..
Thanks in advance
Gowrishankar

Hi,
    Get all the workitems for a particular workflow from the table SWWWIHEAD using the field Workflow number : WFD_ID or the task id : WI_RH_TASK. Then calculate the time taken for all those using the field WI_CT which is the creation time.
Hope this will help.

  • Closing/Opening Material Master Posting Periods

    The instance is ECC 6.0
    Can we roll back the material master posting period. We had some issue that the material master was rolled over by 2-3 periods accidentally which is corrected now.
    OSS note 1082841 was applied so the periods can not be rolled over going forward. Now was going to some testing, but not sure if the problem is corrected or not and wanted to know what is the way to roll back the period if it is rolled over.

  • Create Material Master using workflow (urgent)

    Hello all,
    We have an urgent client requirement to create material master using workflow.
    Different views for the material master will be created by the relevant departments.
    ex: Accouting 1, 2 will go to accounts deptt.
    I have studied the workflow tutorial  (20 units) on <b>SAP help</b> for leave of absence and have some understanding of objects, methods, bindings etc
    I am however finding it very difficult to define the steps to create a workflow for material master. Are there any standard steps already defined that i can use.
    Any help/inputs will be greatly appreciated.
    Regards

    Hi,
    You need to speak to a workflow consultant.
    You can get workflow to do many things (including creating a material master) but it takes a lot of coding and design.
    For those of you who think that workflow is just used for the standard SAP workflow tasks, you have to realise that workflow is far more powerful and far more useful than many people think.
    It is always referred to as "Event triggered messaging" but it is more accurate to call it "Event triggered events".
    Within workflow you can chain together many different transactions and or ABAPS and so you can get it to do virtually anything you want (as long as you know how).
    In this case you need the workflow to trigger an ABAP or BTCI session etc. that works through the MM01 transaction. It is relatively easy to get it to do this, but I am not technical enough to be able to help with the steps involved (sorry)

  • Material Master - classification view - URGENT

    I am coding a proxy for Material master creation. I have done for all the views except for Classification view. Can any one tell me how to start coding for this view.
    Thanks,
    -Naveen.

    Try function module CLFM_OBJECT_CLASSIFICATION. You cannot do a BDC for it. You can also try standard programs  RCCLBI03, RCCLBI02 or RCCLBI03 but they may not be relevant in your case.

  • SLED period indicator in Material master

    Hi
    I have maintained material master with Period indicator for SLED field as 'D' in plant general data storgae data.
    I wanted to change this to W. I wanted to know is it possible to change this and if yes please provide T Code for this.
    SK

    Dear,
    Follow the Tcode O02k...Here select the first line for Int.Period ..Make it Active and select this line and click on left hand side (Text for period indicator).
    Here in front of your language EN:Enter W in Ext.Period I field.
    Save and come out.
    Now when ever you create Material master...By default it will pick "W".
    Now coming to your existing materials for which you have already maintained "D".
    What you have to do is go to Tcode MM02...Under Plant data storage 1 view change the indicator from D to W.
    If number of materials are large then do it by mass maintenance in tcode MM17 or create LSMW program for it.
    This will def solve your problem.

  • Current period in Accounting 1 view of Material Master

    Dear Experts,
    In Accounting 1 view of Material Master there is a current period, now it is 12 2009.
    Is it possible to make it 11 2009, if yes how to do it.
    Please help if you have solution. it is very crucial for me.
    Thank you for your support.
    Regards,
    Zusen

    Hi,
    Please read the Solution part of  note 487381. There is still a few things need to be carry out before you can proceed
    with the initialization :
    Bear in mind that the initialization of a posting period has the
    following effects concerning the period stocks:
        o  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.
        o  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.
        o  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.
    o  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.

  • In Material Master Screen,functionally what is BAckward Consumption period

    In Material Master Screen,functionally what is BAckward Consumption period & Forward Consumption period in the MRP Screen.Pls explain its functionality

    Hi,
    The safety time / actual range of coverage ensures that the planned warehouse stock covers the requirements of a defined number of days. It therefore serves as a time float and thus works alongside the safety stock, which acts as quantity float.
    The system simulates bringing the requirements forward by the specified number of days and the planning for the receipts, created for these requirements in the planning run, is also brought forward by this number of days.
    Prerequisites
    ·   You have set the Safety Time indicator in the material master record (MRP 2 View) to define whether the safety time is only to apply to independent requirements or to all requirements.
    ·    In the material master record (MRP 2 View), in the Safety Time/Actual Range of Coverage field, you have entered the number of workdays by which the requirements are to be brought forward.
    ·    If, in addition to this actual range of coverage, you also want to define a different number of workdays in certain periods or a safety time less than one day then, in Customizing for MRP in the activity Define Period Profile for Safety Time/Actual Range of Coverage you can define a period profile and assign it to the material in the material master record.

    Vijay

  • 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,

    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 .

  • Material Master Period closing:

    Hey Gurus,
    Currently we are running MMPV globally which causes few issues regularly.
    Hope running MMPV locally would fix these.
    Splitting the MMPV transaction event (by world time zones) would be a major piece of work to establish the impacts on other processess (such as billing, intercompany accounting, consolidation, standard costing runs and actual costing runs). Needless to say, such a change would need to involve multiple functions (Procurement, sales, finance).
    Immediate response in this regard in highly appreciable,
    Regards,
    KK

    You may refer to  note 520010 that has a FAQ on period closing, which recommends not to allow posting while period closing is being done.
    (My comments: You may trying closing the period following the Sun, However you may want to monitor the inter-company transaction closely to avoid any inconsistencies.)
    The note's content is reproduced below.
    "6. Question:
    After the period closing program runs, data inconsistencies occur in the previous period, although the data of the current period is consistent. What causes this?
    Answer:
    The following example describes a rare case that causes a large amount of data inconsistencies. During the period closing program run, the processing of a small MM document overtakes the processing a large MM document.
    Constellation:
    - In Customizing for materials management, "Late Lock" is activated.
    - In period closing for the material master (transaction MMPV), periods are closed during the interval between the last day of the old period and the first day of the new period.
    Example
    Date July 30, 2005, time 23:59
    - You begin processing MM document 1, an IDoc consisting of 1200 items.
    - Its posting date is July 30, 2005 and posting should occur in the current period.
    Date July 31,.2005, time 00:00 - 00:01
    - The period closing program runs a day before the current period 07 is finished and changes the current period from 07 to 08.
    - Therefore, all future goods movements and price changes with a posting date of July 31, 2005 are posted in the previous period.
    Date 31.07.2005, time 00:02 - 00:03
    - The system processes and updates the next MM document (2), an IDoc with 100 items.
    - MM document 2 contains goods movements that have combinations of material and plant that are the same as for MM document 1.
    - The posting date is to 31.07.2005, that is, MM document 2 is posted in the previous period 07.
    - The posting of MM document 2 causes the system to create history tables of the material masters that are to be posted for period 07.
    - During the posting of the previous period, the quantities and values are updated simultaneously in the history tables of period 07 and the tables of the current period 08.
    Date July 31,.2005, time 00:04
    - MM document 1 is posted and its processing is complete.
    - At the start of processing, the system determined that this document, with a posting date of July 30, 2005, is to be posted into the current period.
    - During the processing of this document the period is closed, but the posting program does not know this.
    - MM document 2 has updated the entries for the current period, however this is now 08.
    - The data in the history table of period 07 is now inconsistent as is the data for all the combinations of material and plant that are contained in MM documents 1 and 2.
    Conclusion
    <b>To avoid this constellation, do not allow any postings to occur whilst the period closing programs is running.</b>
    Before the period closing program runs, check in transaction SM13 whether outstanding update terminations of goods movements are still displayed. These must be cleared and closed before the period closing program runs.

  • Replicating of Material Master from ECC6.0 to SRM 5.0 in real-time

    Hi,
    I saw the URL on the steps to replicate Material Master from ECC to SRM:
    /people/marcin.gajewski/blog/2007/02/05/how-to-replicate-material-master-from-r3-to-srm
    It requires to run transaction r3as to load the material.
    Can I check do we have to do this step periodically to pull material master from ECC?
    Is there anyway to have a real-time RFC whenever the material is created or changed?
    Thanks!
    WEi

    Hi all,
    Thanks for the answers. Has anyone successfully sync the new material creation to SRM after initial load by configuring the delta?
    What is the exact function module / Bdoc / idoc that sync the material master to SRM?
    If we want to cusomize our own filter criteria like exlude certain material groups and include only material starting with certain numbers, how can we do that?
    Thanks!

  • Automatic creation of Material Master at the time raising the PO !!!

    Hello All,
    I am stuck in a scenario of our client which should be implemented (or mapped) in SAP.
    Scenario: At the time of creating the PO (in there legacy system -in house developed) they can choose the items from the existing master data or/and they can also add a new item (which is not present in the master data records at the time of creating the PO).
    Now as soon as the system realise that a new item is inserted into the PO, it will create that item record automatically in the backend (database) and the master data will be present from there on.
    The items they are dealing with are all fashion accessories and they generate order on the following basis:
    1. Demand of particular item in market.
    2. List of items provided by the vendor.
    3. Based on the requirement in there outlets.
    So for them its very difficult to fix there master data records, as it can be changed daily or monthly as per the market conditions. At the same time every time they order, its almost around 100 different items (some time 80 of them are new) in a single PO so they cannot create 80 records manually each time.
    These items are not consumable material so obviously they are maintaining the stock for them. They are also not going to use IS Retail.
    I am not at all sure how can we map this particular practice in SAP, it would be really appreciated if any one could help me on this problem.
    Please let me know if you need any other details from my side.

    Hi,
      As you have two different systems one in house developed and another SAP, and the PO creation part starts from Legasy system which creats the PO in SAP, you can do some development as per below
    1:  While Passing the details from legasy to SAP, use two columns in legasy one will contain the Material Code of ECC (for laready exist material ) and another for deescription of material.
    2: In case material is new for which there is no material master in ECC pass only description from legasy systems.
    3:While getting triggred from Legasy to ECC to create the PO, first check whehter all the material code exists or not in ECC.
    4:If some material are not created (only description present) for those material first create the Material Code using BAPI 'BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA'.
    5: Aftre creation of Material code create the PO using BAPI ' BAPI_PO_CREATE1'.
    6:For the new created material , trnasfre the master record from ECC to Legasy systemso that next time user can see that material in your legasy system.

    Hi,
    Check in T.code: MMRV and see which period is open for ur Co.Code and back posting is allowed or not. If you are sure to open new period now of  new posting to period 08, then
    use t.code: MMPV ,
    enter
    Company code C999
    Period to open 08
    Fiscal Year 2010
    Execute
    ( system will close the period last period 07 and automatically system open the new one 08)
    Now try ur transaction.
    if any problem, then check  in FI Side:
    Use t.code: OB52 and open the 08,2010 period in Account Types A, K, D,M, S and specially Account Type u201C+u201D which stands for valid for all accounts type and save. Better consult FICO consultant for OB52 step.
