SRM and MDM for material master in SRM contracts for multiple R/3
Dear all,
my question is:
We are implementing SRM 4.0 in classic scenario with multiple R/3 back-end and we want to set-up Global Outline Agreements in SRM in a multi-backend environment where the Material Master are not harmonized.
We heard that MDM and COntent Integraton can be a solution.
Then detailled question is:
Can we have 2 material numbers (e.g. ABC and XYZ) in 2 different R/3 systems refering the same product.
Have the mapping done in MDM (Content Integrator?) to a third material number:123
Replicating the material master 123 to SRM from MDM(?)
Create global Outline Agreements in SRM for Material Master 123.
Distribute the GOA as Outline Agreement to R/3 system 1 with the translation to ABC and to R/3 system 2 with the translation XYZ, all of that during the distribution step (or another).
Have the call-offs quantities correct on 123 in SRM and BW?
IF yes, how is it working, do you have some documentation discribing the scenario and the config steps to do?
Thanks in avance
Hello RD,
That's a good question.
You are on the right way. MDM is the tool for you.
But..
Content Integrator (CI) was first developped for Shell, to address the need of cross-referencing of material/supplier/category IDs, for:
- reporting purpose (actual Spend Analysis)
- mapping purpose (send of XML PO)
CI was later "fusionned" into the new MDM (1.0) solution.
So now, you can not order CI without MDM (even if some SRM slides still present CI).
But mapping API where developped for all inboud/outbound interfaces in SRM, for materials only (good luck for you).
You will find everywhere this piece of code:
Call ECI
CALL FUNCTION 'BBP_PRODUCT_MAP'
TABLES
it_input = lt_mapping_in
et_output = lt_mapping_out
EXCEPTIONS
logsys_not_found = 1
driver_not_found = 2
product_not_found = 3
internal_error = 4
OTHERS = 5.
So it is ok, you have the mapping call, but I don't know if all the rest of the process was really "finalized" (call of API mapping in CI, via XI). I personnaly never used it, but I assume it should work.
I my opinion your process is supported by SAP:
- Extract materials from both R/3 and consolidate them as a single product in MDM.
- Distribute this product into SRM.
- Maintain contracts on those products.
- Distribute them to R/3 (The ECI call is also used during contract distribution).
- Call offs corrects in SRM and BW
For MDM documentation, look at netweaver area of service.sap.com.
For MDM/SRM integration, look at SRM 4.0 spend analysis:
https://websmp206.sap-ag.de/~sapdownload/011000358700004424262004E/GlobalSpendOverview.ppt
For SRM contract distribution, call-offs, BW, look at SRM in details in service.sap.com/srm/SRM4.0:
https://websmp206.sap-ag.de/~sapdownload/011000358700001966382004E/contracten.ppt
For SRM5.0, see online help on help.sap.com.

Additional field for Material Master of SRM
Hi,
We want to add 3 <b>additional fields to the product master table</b> of SRM. We do not want to use these additional fields on any documents (neither SC nor PO nor contracts etc). We do not want to display these additional fields on Enterprise Buyer screens.
What we want is, after adding these fields to the products table <b>we want to edit the values on COMMPR01</b>. Is it possible to see and edit these additional fields with txn COMMPR01? If not how can we edit these fields?
Thanks
PS: the fields that we want add are: <b>New category name</b> (other than the EBP category), <b>New material code</b> (other than the regular material number), <b>Country Name</b> (we have 2 backend systems, we want to keep the name of the country of the backend).Hi,
How can I do that?
I have 2 fields to reply to COMMPR01:
MARA-ZZCOD_CORP (Customer Field)
MARC-EKGRP
Any ideia to reply this with standard process?
Thanks,

XI Integration scenario for material replication from SRM to SRM-MDM
Hi Guys,
We are working with the following landscape:
SRM Server 5.5
ECC 6.0
SRM-MDM 5.5 SP6
PI 2005_1_700 SP0006
I have a question for you about replication of the material master form SRM EBP to SRM-MDM.
In XI we are trying to configure this scenario. For this we have imported the following XI Content:
- SAP SRM Server 5.5
- SAP SRM-MDM 2.0
We have the following problem; that when tring to configure the this scenario we are getting GUID errors. Probable because some XI content is missing. In the SRM-MDM 2.0 XI content we also see that SRM 6.0 scenario's are avilable in the currenlty imported XI content, but when clicking on 'Edit action' in these scenario's we are getting the following error:
"Software component version with GUID XXXXXXXXXX... does not exists"
Can any one tell me why SRM 6.0 scenario's are availble in the XI content for SRM-MDM 2.0, and which additional XI content we need to import to get rid of these GUID error's?
Becasue of this the configuration in the Integration Directory fails.Transfering the integration scenario to the Integration directory gives a couple of errors: "Unable to load action. Check whether all necessary actions have been released in the integration repository".
Hopefully some of you know what to do, because I am currenlty stuck....... Do we need to import additional XI content, or maybe the Xi content for SRM 6.0. If so where can I get the XI content for SRM 6.0. It is not available on the SAP Support portal as a download.
Thx In advance.

Creating MDM repository for Material Master Data
Hello MDM Gurus,
I am new to SAP MDM. I want to create MDM repository for Material Master. What I unddertand is, I can create repository using Bussiness Content shiped with MDM software. I will copy *.a2a file to archive folder of MDM server and unarchive repository. I have following question for you.
1. HOw do I use export maps and import maps which I found in Busines contenst\Material folder?
2. How do I use MDM Lookup Tables which is xml document in Busines contenst\Material folder?
3. Why is the use of MDMGX_55520_Material.txt file which I found in Busines contenst\Material folder?
4. What is the use of *.xsd files and how can I use them?
Thanks,
BhupeshHi Bhupesh
1. HOw do I use export maps and import maps which I found in Busines contenst\Material folder?
save all the map files on your loacl machine. open import manager and select file-> Import, browse to the .map file and save the map with a meaningful name. now next time connect to the source file you want to import and OPEN the map saved.
2. How do I use MDM Lookup Tables which is xml document in Busines contenst\Material folder?
Businees content contains the standard ECC refernce tables like countries, regions etc which can be refreshed from ECC. for this you have to configure MDMGX, defining all the ports in MDM and in ECC the tables from which data has to be refreshed. refer to below threads for details.
Extract Data usnig MDMGX
How to Export Materials from ERP to MDM 7.1 via MDMGX?
3. Why is the use of MDMGX_55520_Material.txt file which I found in Busines contenst\Material folder?
This helps us in configuring the table extraction from ECC, refer to thread-> Extract Data usnig MDMGX
4. What is the use of *.xsd files and how can I use them?
Schema files are used for syndicating the records from MDM to source system. Say we want to syndicate material master from MDM to ECC and in ECC they will be posted via MATMAS05 IDoc. these schemas are the structure of IDoc which will contain the values which will be syndicated from MDM.
Let me know if you know some more details.

For case A, create insp plan with usage "1- production" If you have one IP with this usage for given material then system will assign Plan to lot automatically. In your case for second plan update usage as 1.
For case B, system should assign 1st plan make sure for both plan udage is correct. for 1st plan usage should be 5 while 2nd plan usage should be 1. Now if your 1st have status 4 and key date before lot date then system will assign plan auto.

SAP Catalogue and Content Management for SRM
Publish the materials (material masterdata) on intranet. So (internal) buy-ers (users) are able search in a catalogue for the materials they needed.
SAP recommends Bug's eye of Requisite.
SAP has launched its own Catalog and content management in SAP SRM ( Supplier Relationship Management).
If you require your Buyer can directly order the materials on internet you may use EBP module of SAP SRM.

Problem with mass IDoc for Material Master
Hi All,
Can anyone suggest a solution to work with mass IDocs for Material master?
We have DEBMDM and CREMDM as mass capable IDocs for Customer and Vendor. How do we get mass Material Master IDocs from R/3 in a single XML file?
Also the standard Material repository supplied with SAP MDM 5.5 SP3 doesn't have any XSD definition for MATMDM. Can anyone throw some light on this problem?
Regards
PoojaHello Pooja:
The standard way to do it is to generate a single file containing multiple idocs (And for the sake of performance, I suggest you stick to this technique).
In the case of material master, everything is straight forward. In the case of customer and vendor master, when data flows from R/3 to MDM no idoc conversion needs to be performed by XI.
However, for the case of customer and vendor master, when data flows from MDM to R/3, XI needs to separate the data in CREMDM to CREMAS and ADRMAS in order for R/3 to be able to process the idocs; as well as separate the data in DEBMDM to DEBMAS and ADRMAS.
The good thing is that you do not need to worry about all this mappings and conversions in XI. The only thing you need to do in XI is to import the standard business content for SAP MDM 5.5 into XI.
Hope this helps.

Jorge. -

BAPI for Material master update
Hello,
I need to upload and change data to the classification screen of Material master (MM01/02). I am thinking of using BAPI_CHARACT_CREATE and BAPI_CHARACT_CHANGE. Can we use BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA to upload and change characteristic data for material master(MM01/02)?
Can anybody provide me some sample code for mass upload and mass change of characteristic data to material master?
Thanks in advance
Rajesh.Hi Rajesh,
You can use standard SAP program <b>RCCLBI03</b> to do mass upload.
Please check the program documentation for more information.
Also you can take a look this BAPI/FM.
<b>BAPI_OBJCL_CREATE
BAPI_OBJCL_CHANGE

Most use ful t code for Material Master changing
Dear All,
Can any one give me most useful T-codes for create, change and display material master.
I have one T-code which is very useful for material master it is "MM50". With help of this tcode you can see material extend detail and also you can delete mass material with help of this tcode.
So please use it and also give me other this type of tcodes.
Regards,
Mahesh WaghHi,
MM17, LSMW, MM50 --- These are the 3 main transactions which is used frequently to Mass change the Material master.
There is one more option is there using BDC Upload.
Batch Data Communication or BDC is a batch interfacing technique that SAP developed. It is mainly used for uploading data into the SAP R/3 system. BDC works by simulating the user input from transactional screen via an ABAP program.
The data input data file will come in the form of a flat file which the user save as file type txt file or prn file from the Microsoft Excel program. An Abaper will create a program to read the text file and upload into the SAP system.
Transaction -- SHDB will be used to record the change material master. After, the simulation, the Abaper can generate a sample program and modify from there. It makes the programming easier and faster.
For a BDC upload you need to write a program which created BDC sessions.
hope you got it. Take a help of ABAPer for this BDC Upload.
