Program to update info record with material master data

I am trying to determine if there is a standard SAP program that can be run as a batch file to update the fields in the info record with the same fields that are in the material master? ie: Planned delivery time, Tolerance, purchasing group etc.

Hi,
There is no standard report or transaction that can do this.
The data from these fields in the material master is brought in as a default to the info record when it is created. beyond this point the Info record is treated as being the correct data regardless of what happens to the material master data and so no updates occur in the standard system.
It would not be difficult to build an LSMW job to copy the data from the material master to the info records and this would be the recommendation if you want to do this.

Update Info record with PO data

Hi,
I have the material configured no purchase order unit of measure and Variable Purchase Order Unit Active with the value 1.
When I create the first PO a Info record is created and in the general data the purchase order unit is set with one used on that PO.
When I create a new PO the purchase order unit from the info record is copied to the PO. If I change that unit on the creation of the PO I would like to have it changed in the Info record but this is not the behavior. That field remains unchanged unless I change it manually in the Info record.
Is there any standard way to make it updated with the creation of PO's?
Thanks,
Nelson Ribeiro.

Hi,
You can find control of info-update indicator in following path, where it update automatically.You can set for own data by assigning EVO with 01{Goto from menu bar---system-> user profile-->own data>Goto parameters---> enter parameter id as EVO parameter value as 01}
SPRO> MM> Purchasing-> Environment -> Define default values for buyers-->Settings for Default Values
You can view Entries
01 Default values for group 1
02 Default values for group 2

How to only update existing records when loading master data ?

Hello experts, I need your lights one more time.
Here is my need :
I have created an infoobject (IO) which is a very simple version of 0material, let's call it Znewmat --> Znewmat has material type and trademark as attributes, those two fields are available in 2 different datasources :
- 0MATERIAL_ATTR for material type (field MTART)
- 0MAT_SALES_ATTR for trademark (field MVGR2)
When loading my new IO from 0MATERIAL_ATTR I use a filter (at DTP level) to get only a few material types (I get something like 1000 records),
here is my issue : when I load from 0MAT_SALES_ATTR the field "material type" is not available to keep the same filter as for 0MATERIAL_ATTR and existing records are updated with the trademark, but I also get 5000 records I don't need, and my master data is "polluated" with useless lines.
*and my question : is there a way while performing the second loading to ONLY UPDATE EXISTING RECORDS AND NOT ADD ANY
NEW RECORDS ? (i didn't find anything in main options of my DTP)*
(I'd like to avoid the solution to update the 0MAT_SALES_ATTR datasource to add the missing field)
Thanks in advance for any help, points will be distributed.
Guillaume P.
Still no idea ?

in the start routine of transformation from 0MAT_SALES_ATTR to znewmat do the following:
select materials from /BIC/PZNEWMAT into i_mat
for all entries in source_package where material eq source_package-material.
loop at source_package.
p_ind = sy-tabix.
read table i_mat with key material = source_package-material.
if sy-subrc ne 0.
delete i_mat index p_ind.
endif.
this way you'll only update records that have previously been loaded by 0MATERIAL_ATTR DS
loading sequence:
first load ZNEWMAT from 0MATERIAL_ATTR. then activate ZNEWMAT. then load 0MAT_SALES_ATTR to ZNEWMAT.

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.
Regards,
Kiran

Error while updating AFS weights & measures material master data using BAPI

Hello ABAP experts,
Please help me in finding the right way in updating AFS weights & measures data (/AFS/MARM) data using BAPI /AFS/BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVE_DATA.
I'm populating the following table parameters of the BAPI,
1. SKUUNITSOFMEASURE with /AFS/MARM records
s_bapi_marm-ALT_UNIT = 'EA'.
s_bapi_marm-ALT_UNIT_ISO = 'EA'.
s_bapi_marm-grid_value = 'XXXXS'.
*s_bapi_marm-STOCK_CATEGORY = '01000'.
s_bapi_marm-volume = '10'.
s_bapi_marm-GROSS_WT = '10'.
s_bapi_marm-NET_WEIGHT = '10'.
append s_bapi_marm to t_bapi_marm.
2. UNITSOFMEASURE with MARM records
s_bapi_uom-ALT_UNIT = 'EA'.
s_bapi_uom-ALT_UNIT_ISO = 'EA'.
s_bapi_uom-NUMERATOR = '1'.
s_bapi_uom-DENOMINATR = '1'.
s_bapi_uom-UNIT_OF_WT = 'KG'.
s_bapi_uom-VOLUMEUNIT = 'CCM'.
append s_bapi_uom to t_bapi_uom.
But the BAPI returns me an error "Stock Category & is not valid in Category structure &"
Let me know if you have any inputs on this one.
Thanks,
Partha.

Update info record when changing units of measure in material master

Hello,
is there any possibility for an automatic change of info record when changing conversion factors in the material master ?
We have 3 units of measure in our material master: the base unit and 2 alternative units. The first alternative unit is the order unit and the second alternative unit is the order price unit. So in our purchase info records we maintain an order unit, which differs from the base unit and we also maintain an order price unit, which differs from the base unit and the order unit.
If we now change the conversion factors between the units in the material master, we would like to get an automatic change of the converions in the info record (to order unit and order price unit), which have the same previous conversions.
For IS R it seems to be implemented (see OSS-Note 975954).
Is there any solution for a "normal" industry system ?
Thanks for answering
Edited by: Britta Heinsen on Jul 23, 2009 1:52 PM

I don't think such an auto update is available. Infact I came to know that such an update is available in IS-R after reading your query.
Obviously you an always create a workflow based enhancement that can synchronize the Info-records and material master changes or sort of enhancement which regularly reads the material master change history for such changes and trigger a synchronization by executing change Info-record automatically.

Info record without material (EINA-MATKL). Tax code

Good morning
We need to be able to automatically define in the Purchase Order the tax codes when we are purchasing a free text item (without material master record).
We are trying to do it by means of the info record for the vendor and material group, without the material. However the system is not able to determine this value.
Please if you can help us to determine how we can automatically determine this tax code in a purchase order based on the material group, we would appreciate it.
Thank you in advance and best regards,
Alejandra

Hi Steve
Have a query here regarding Info record without material number (using material group).
1) I understand we can create info record wihtout material number using material group . but doest it mean all the material comes under that material group and having same vendor will use single info record?
2) What is Purpose of Sort Key while creating such a info record.
3) As per my understanding for this type of info record system never update the price automatically using info record in fact for such PO we need to enter the info record number manually.? am i right? if yes then what is the purpose of creating a info record with material group if anyways we need to enter the info record manually.
4) i am creating a PO but even after entering the info record number (which i have created for the ,material group and vendor combination) system is asking me to enter the price against PB00.

Customer & Material Master data is not saved in SAP 4.7

Hi All,
We created a customer in T code XD01 and saved it. system threw a message that "customer 500001 has been saved" but when I tried to check the customer ID 500001 in XD02 and XD03, it says custoemr 500001 has not been created.
I have checked in table KNA1, KNB1 & KNVV. No data is available in these tables.
Same case with material master data even.
Can anyone please tell me what could be the reason for this problem & how to fix it.
Thanks in advance.
JM

Dear JM,
Goto SNRO- Enter the number range object & click on "Change " icon.
NR Object: DEBITOR
Check whether any value maintained in "No. of numbers in buffer", make it blank & re-create customer.
It may not be exact route cause of the problem, but could be the reason .
Test & update the forum.

4.Compare vendor master also.
5.Their are no contract /sch.agreement for vendors.
Our requirement is to have rate from info record in all the cases in work order.So have two options.
1.Archiving info record-But will need setting in SPRO and also need to create same record again with same combination.Also as their are recent purchase order against those info record not sure whether system will allow or not.Can you please tell what are prerequiste for archiving info record.

2.To remove only purchase order number updated in EINE table in those info record where this issue is occuring.We have checked in development system and after removing purchase order number in EINE table it picks up rate from info record.
So thought of checking before removing order ref.from EINE table.

Is it possible to create info record without material number

Hi all,
Is it possible to create infor record without material master and what is the importance of the field Info update in PO.
Thank you for the help.

Hi,
1.Yes you can create Info record without material no. but you have create it for material group.Go to ME11 and only enter vendor ,Purchasing organization , and Plant don't enter material no.. and again enter maitain material gruop and require data for Material group.
2.Info Update indicator -
Info record update
    Determines whether the prices and conditions of this purchase order ite
    are suggested in future PO items.
Use
    Selecting InfoUpdate causes one of the following situations to occur:
        -   If just one info record (with or without plant) exists, it is
            updated.
        -   If no info record exists and "plant condition requirement" was
            specified in Customizing, an info record with plant is created.
            Otherwise, an info record without plant is created.
        -   If two info records exist (that is, one info record with plant
            and one without plant) the info record with plant is updated.

Create Material Master Data with BAPI

Hi,
I don't know using of BAPI. I want using BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA bapi for creating material master data for Basic Data1, Basic Data2, Purchasing and MRP views. Does anybody can help me ?
Thank you
Good night

Hi,
Please refer to the documentation below:
BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA
Short Text
Create and Change Article Master Data
Functionality
You use this method to create new material master data or to change existing material master data. The data on a material can be transferred for each call.
When creating material master data, you must transfer the material number, the material type, and the industry sector to the method. You must also enter a material description and its language.
When changing material master data, you need enter only the material number.
In the header data, you must select at least one view for which data is to be created. Depending on the view selected, you must maintain other required parameters. If you do not enter values for all of the required parameters, the method is ended with an error message.
The corresponding fields in the tables (such as CLIENTDATA) must first be supplied with data by the calling program. An indicator must also be set for each of these fields so that the data is written to the database by the method. This requires the calling program to supply the corresponding field with the indicator in a checkbox table (for example, CLIENTDATAX). Checkbox tables exist for tables that do not contain any language-dependent texts (MAKT, MLTX), International Article Numbers (MEAN), or tax classifications (MLAN). Several data records for a material can be created in these tables.
If a structure contains fields for units of measurement (such as structure CLIENTDATA, field BASE_UOM), language indicators (such as structure MATERIALDESCRIPTION, field LANGU), or country indicators (such as structure TAXCLASSIFICATIONS, field DEPCOUNTRY), there is always a field of the same name with the ending _ISO. This makes it possible to transfer either the internally used SAP code or a standardized ISO code for the units of measurement, language indicators, or country indicators. ISO codes are converted to an SAP code internally for further processing. The ISO code is used only if the SAP code is not transferred. If you use ISO codes, there must be a unique assignment of the ISO code to the SAP code in the following activities in Customizing for Global Parameters:
Check Units of Measurement
Define Countries
If you want to maintain long texts (basic data texts, internal comments, purchase order texts, material memos, or sales texts) or customer-defined fields for a material, some special conditions have to be observed. They are described in the documentation for parameters MATERIALLONGTEXT and EXTENSIONIN.

Update material master data BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVE DATA

Hi All,
I am using BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVE DATA Fm to update the material master data .
I want to change material type vend (which already existed) to HIBE material type .
Even though Basic data view populated its not updating in Material master .
Which views do i need to populate to change material type one value to other value?

if you use FM - BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVE DATA ,you can not update material type , use bdc program to update material type ,
See the transaction : MMAM - No BAPI to update material type
you need to use BDC Program.

Use of "with master data & with out master data" at DTP update level

Hello experts,
In DTP, I check "with out master data". When I try to send corresponding transactional data, It is showing SID related error. Can anybody suggest what is the use of "with master data & with out master data" at DTP level.
Thanks in advance,
Zakir.

HI
HI in DTP level If you set this indicator, the system terminates the update of the request if no values are available for a data record.
Load the relevant master data before you load the transaction data.
If you set this indicator, the system terminates activation if master data is missing and produces an error message.
If you do not set this indicator, the system generates any missing SID values during activation.
In DataStore maintenance, if you do not set the SIDs Generation upon Activation indicator, the No Update without Master Data indicator in the DTP has no effect.
thx

SAP Business Connector with Java (material master data)

Hey,
I have a question about the SAP BC. What are the steps I have to do, to use the BC with a Java program?
My task is to create a program which downloads material master datas from SAP.
I just installed the BC, and hope, that I did it correctly
Many thanks in advance!!
Kind regards,
Alex

Hey,
wie ich oben schon geschrieben habe, habe ich ein paar Fragen zum SAP BC. Ich habe ein Hochschul-Projekt und muss hierfür Materialstammdaten aus SAP herunterladen und mit einem Java Programm ausgeben lassen.
Kann mir vielleicht jemand weiterhelfen, wie die Schritte hierfür aussehen?! Wie verbinde ich den BC mit meinem SAP System? und wie bekomme ich anschließen die Daten mit einem Java Programm ausgelesen?
Ich habe bereits den BC installiert und konnte mich meines Wissens auch richtig anmelden;-)
Ich hoffe, dass mir jemand weiterhelfen kann und bedanke mich schon im Voraus für eventuelle Antworten!!!
Viele Grüße

Hi,
I work with SAP BC some time ago... I remember that you configure the connection in SM59 / SICF and the server open a port to "listen" (connect external).
So, your external program can execute functions inside SAP and exchange data.
See some links:
