  • Function module for Article creation (transaction MM41)

    Hello,
    I have been trying to create an article which is normally done using transaction MM41.
    I am trying to use BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA to do this, but since article creation is different  from regular material creation, there are fields that are not available, for example article category (MARA-ATTYP).
    Another problem encountered with the BAPI is that the industry section is a required input.  For MM41 it is not a required field.
    Therefore, is there an available function module aside from the BAPI mentioned above that can perform article creation?
    If the BAPI above is sufficient, how can I properly populate the necessary fields?
    Additional information:  requirement is developed in 4.6c.
    provide the code I've been working on if asked.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello Harsh
    To extend the article to another distribution channel you need to populate the salesdata/salesdatax structures of the BAPI.  For example:
      CLEAR wa_salesdata.
      wa_salesdata-material            = material.
      wa_salesdata-sales_org           = salesorg.
      wa_salesdata-distr_chan          = dstchan.
      wa_salesdata-item_cat            = itemcat.
      wa_salesdata-matl_stats          = '1'.
      APPEND wa_salesdata TO i_salesdata.
      CLEAR wa_salesdatax.
      wa_salesdata-material            = material.
      wa_salesdata-sales_org           = salesorg.
      wa_salesdata-distr_chan          = dstchan.
      wa_salesdatax-item_cat            = 'X'.
      wa_salesdatax-matl_stats          = 'X'.
      APPEND wa_salesdatax TO i_salesdatax.
    I believe the important data you need to have are material, sales org, and distribution channel.
    Hope this helps.

  • Should we use MM01 or MM41 single articles

    Hello,
    I have the following dilemma. My client is a group of companies, some sell retail fashion products, others sell electronics products. For the latter or in general terms for all non-retail articles (e.g. services), should we use MM01 or should we use MM41 and ATTYP = '00' (i.e. single article materials)?
    We are on ECC 6.0 and it seems to me that we can use both (I think in older versions, transaction MM01 could not be used). I just want to know if one of those is recommended by SAP?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Sotiris Chantzis

    Hi Sotoris,
    please be aware that - as far as I know - materials created with MM01 cannot be processed with MM42/MM43 and cannot be used in special Retail-functionality such as allocation table. Therefore I would recommend MM41 to create single articles if you need Retail-functionality.
    I'm not sure if it would be a good idea to keep retail articles (maintained via MM41/42) AND materials (maintained via MM01/MM02).
    Regards

  • Convert Problems/Solutions into Knowledge Articles

    Hi Experts,
    I am wroking on SAP CRM 7.0 SP06 and now we are planning to implement Knowledge Article functionality.
    I have done the all configuration settings and multilevel categorization, every thing working fine. Now I want to convert problems/solutions which already created in CRM and stored in SDB into knowledge article.
    Any one please guide me how can I convert existing problems/solutions into knowledge articles. Is there any report for this?
    Thanking you in anticipation.
    Regards,
    Babu.

    Hi Kevin,
    Well, I'm new on this and have only worked on CRM 6 & 7. I'll give you my advice regarding these CRM versions. I don't know if it is supported on CRM 5.
    IMG:
    CRM >> Enterprise Intelligence >> SAF >> Name and Configure KB
    You create and define you DB as you want: ACME INC
    CRM >> Enterprise Intelligence >> SAF >> Business Add-Ins >> BAdI: Knowledge Base
    Each knowledge base should have its own Add-In implementation. So you have to implement an Add-In based on Add-In definition CRM_SAF_KB_*: CRM_SAF_KB_ACME. You can follow IMG documentation.
    In my case, the add-in already existed, since Knowledge Article functionality is standard in 7.0. KB didn't exist, I don't know why. I just created it with the name assigned on the BAdI, compiled, and everything works fine now.
    Hope it helps.
    Regards.

  • How to Debugg workflow for Article Creation using MM41 In IS Retails System

    Existing system they are using business BUS1001006,Event Created for triggering workflow when you create article using transaction code MM41.
    I could see one more business object named ZBUS100106 for triggering workflow when you Create an article.
    I just want to debugg the workflow to add some additional validations to trigger workflow when i can create article using transaction code MM41.
    Let me know how to debugg the workflow.
    Thanks in Advance.

    ZBUS100106 is nothing but Custom Business Object of BUS100106 creating by extending BUS100106.
    You can debug Business Object code thru putting breakpoint in Code and executing the Business Object thru SWO1.
    For your requirement you could possibly use SWB_COND Tcode so as to limit workflow lanches.
    Refer [this|http://mailman.mit.edu/pipermail/sap-wug/2003-November/011005.html].

  • Restrict User to fill mandatory Views in MM41 article creation

    Currently I am working on an object where I had to restrict the user for filling at least 4 views at the time of creation of an Article using MM41.
    Currently user can create an article by just filling the Basic Data (of Basic data tab) and save the article. Later on he adds the sales view, purchase view etc.
    My requirement is that at the time of saving the article , i need to check whether the recomended views are filled or not, if not filled I need to give a message to the user and restrict him from SAVING the article. when he completes the required views then only he can save the article.
    I had checked the transaction MM41 I found 2 exits viz.
    MGW00001 Material Master (Retail): Additional Data
    MGW00002 Material Master (Retail): Number Assignment
    but I dont think these are of any use to me ? (please confirm).
    Also i had found one BADI :- BADI_SCREEN_LOGIC_RT
    it has 3 methods : REDUCE_SCREEN_SELECTION,
                               CHANGE_SCREEN_SEQUENCE and
                               AREA_OF_VALIDITY_DIRECT.
    My query  : Is this the valid BADI which I acn use for my problem ?
                     If Yes  then which method should be used ?
    Also how can I get which all views are filled at the time of save , in order to check whether they are complete or not.

    You might want to talk to the MM and/or authorization guys - they should know this stuff. This is hardly a workflow issue (at least at this point). Do few searches here in SCN with key words "material master", "screen sequences", "authorization roles" or "restrict material master views" etc. and that should bring you to the right direction.
    Kind regards,

    with the above parameters, I am able to create an article using MM41.
    Is any addl. parameters needed?
    Please help me in this regard.
    Regards,
    Kiran.

    Hmm, difficult to check out.
    I guess the best thing is to open an customer message, open system and prepare a test example.
    With debugging it is a thing of 10 seconds.
    The message is more or less generic. It could be possible that the sales data will lead to a different reference handling. Mostly such errors are based on customizing and masterdata dependencies.
    Set a breakpoint in material_update_all_retail,
    at the end there will be a loop over the sites. Stop at every site and see when erro will appear. Then you will have the logic key in RMMG1 for the error.

    If you have created a reference Article and assinged this to your merchandise category you can set up the reference article with the Base Unit of Measure as EA and this will mean all articles will be created with that BUoM.

    H i,

    Thanks in advance!
    PRAFUL

    Hi Prafulla,
                   In SAP Easy Access Menu, in your System Tool Bar (on the right end of where you enter the Txn code), there will be a small colourful icon just next to "?" icon, this is called Customize Local Layout icon.
    Click on this icon
    Go to Options
    Go to Expert Tab
    Under Controls ->Check the "Show Keys in All Dropdown Lists"
    Then click "Apply" at the bottom.
    Once again enter MM41 and you can see this becomes effective.
    This should enable your article type code appear along with the description.
    Hope it helps

  • Problem in Extending the article to different sites using listing procedure

    Hi,
    I am Using IS retail for a book Industry. I have created one listing procedure and Assigned the lsiting procedure in General Assortment. Also I assigned the merchandising catagories and the assortment users(sites) to the assortment.
    But when I assign the above Listing procedure to the article, while creation, the article is not getting extended to the whatever sites I assinged to the assortment in the form Assortment user. The article is created for only that site for which i give at the T.code MM41.
    Can somebody Pls, guide me what is the setting i missed, so that article is not getting extended to diffrennt sites.
    Rgds,
    Raghavendra.

    Hi Raghu,
    Check first that  articles are getting listed and getting updated in the tables.
    u can use t.code WSLB to check assortment for the user .Copy the aasortments for the site and check in table WLK1 if article exists in the assortment.
    If everything is fine then check if any marc enteries are missing thru program RWDIFFERENCEMARCWLK1.
    i it is missing then u can maintain the views for the article in article master.
    note :
    Listing of article doesnt means that article is maintained for the site.
    First u have to maintain the article i.e maintain the vies in the article master and after thatlist the article.
