Report For list of material Master with PO text

Hi all,
I need a report whether it is available in Standard SAP or a customized, for List of Material Master with their PO text.
If any one can help, please reply to this theard.
Regards,
Kapil Kulkarni

To get the material number combined with the PO text you will need the help of an ABAP programmer. The programmer can create a report for you using the function module READ_TEXT in the function group STXD. The tables to use are:
STXH - STXD SAPscript text file header
STXL - STXD SAPscript text file lines
The selection screen should have at least the following:
OBJECT - STXH-TDOBJECT
NAME - STXH-TDNAME
LANGUAGE - STXH-TDSPRAS
TEXTID - STXH-TDID
You find the information for these fields by going to the PO text entry screen and displaying the header information under Goto -> Header. For materials, the object is MATERIAL, the name is "material number", the language is "EN", and the text ID is BEST. You can use this program to get long text in lots of places like information records, purchase order texts, etc.
Hope this helps.

How to upload Methods long text using LSMW

Hi,
I am using LSMW - direct input program (Object 0001 Method - 0001) to upload methods long text.
I have two files with header and item as below
Header file:
Object : QPMETHODE
ID : QMTT
Item_id : link between header and item (method number)
NAME: Passing concatenated value of "sy-mandt, company code, Method number, 6 char space for version and language"
Language : E or S.
Item file:
Item_id : link between header and item (Method number)
Text Format : blank
Text line : long text
Here the problem is, after converting the data i have run the direct input program to upload the long text, but it is not updated in the transaction QS34.
Could any one help in this?
Thanks & Regards,
Suresh.

Hello,
The field QMTT-LTEXTKZ is a flag which says whether Inspection method has a long text associated with it at transaction level. You are not able to see the Long text in the transaction though you have loaded & able to see the long text by FM READ_TEXT because in your case the field QMTT-LTEXTKZ = ' '. so I suggest you to load the long text in following way.
Step 1: make a small recording to Tx: QS33 - push the long text button to get the long text editor. in this editor, on second line of the tag, put a * and save the transaction. By this way you put a X in field QMTT-LTEXTKZ & hence register a longtext for Inspection Method.
Step 2: proceed with the loading the Long text with object 0001as you mentioned.
Now you will be able to see the LT on the transaction level.
Hope this helps.

Material BOMs with document items using RCSBI010

Has anyone uploaded material BOMs with document items using RCSBI010? I set the item category to D, but receive an error in LSMW when I attempt to convert the data. The error specifies that the document items are not valid material numbers. They are not material numbers. They are document info records.

Found the problem. The document number was being mapped to BOM Component IDNRK instead of document number DOKNR.

LSMW - RMDATIND Upload material master

Hi All,
I'm using LSMW direct input method (RMDATIND) to upload material master. However, I'm having issues on uploading material prices (eg: moving average price) where the format uploaded was incorrect.
LSWM Data Source I've declared for VERPR (Moving Average Price) is character with 14 Length size. Values populated in upload file is eg: 132.93.
The value been created in material master is-> 13 293,00.
Can anyone advise on this issues? Is there any wrong to input value or data source declaration? Thanks.

Hi Blue Sky,
execute the whole process of LSMW in direct input and go to SM35 to check and process the session manually,,
-Regards
Sid

Unable to use SCAT to upload material master in ECC 6

HI
I am unable to use SCAT to upload material master in ECC 6,
an error is triggering
"Releases higher than 6.40 are not permitted
Message no. TT005
Diagnosis
With Web Application Server Release 6.40, you cannot create new automated CATT test cases. However, you can create manual CATT test cases"
canany body please help me to use SCAT
Sreeram

you have to read yourself:
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/1b/e81c3b84e65e7be10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
I certainly do not use SCAT or SECATT to load master data, especially not material master.
A material master has dynamic screens, based on the material type the view selection will be different, based on entries made in MRP view fields become hidden or mandatory. Such things canot be done with a static recording.
SAP provides batch input programs and BAPIs for material master load and additonally loading per IDOC in LSMW (which offers as well batch input and Bapi methods)

I have uploaded Material Master thr LSMW but Materials are not saved.

Hi
i have uploaded Material Master through LSMW but unfortunetly Matreials are not saved in system.

Hi
Check first with one record you are able to create the material Manually by using tcode MM01.
Or Rerun the batch Input in Foreground mode so that you can see the error or whether Materila no is created
I do not think so any test mode in Batch Input session.
Check the Log in SM35 for your session if you have any error messages.
Hope it helps

Issue with Capturing Long text using CALL METHOD EDITOR- GET_TEXT_AS_STREAM

HI Experts,
Standard Long text is capturing using CALL METHOD EDITOR->GET_TEXT_AS_STREAM

2)      Entered few lines in custom Long text --> Good
         Click on Standard Tab , Leaving Custom tab and Custom Long text-->Good
4)      In PAI of Custom Tab – Changes captured using CALL METHOD 1 ( See below Code 1)--> Good
5)      Entered few lines in Standard Long text in Standard Tab -->Good
6)      Click another Standard Tab
7)      In PAI of Standard Tab – Changes captured using CALL MEHTOD 2 ( See Below Code 2)-->Good
8)      Come back to Standard Tab / Standard Long Text , Enter few more lines.
9)      Change the Tab , IN PAI of Standard Tab/Standard Text , Changes Captured using CALL METHOD2 ( See Below CODE 3) --> Good
10)   Go to Custom Tab , Custom Long text , Entered few more lines--> Good
11)   Click on any other tab, Triggered again PAI of Custom tab / Custom Long text using Call Method1 ( See Below Code 4) -->Good triggered PAI same CALL METHOD TEXT_EDITOR1->GET_TEXT_AS_STREAM.
12)   But additional lines are not captured , saying ZERO LINES in Internal Table and IF_MODIFIED = NO -->Issues lies here.
CODE1 ( Custom Long text entry capturing – First Few Lines )

Can anyone help me out of this.

Excellent Eitan,
Here is what I am trying to Achieve.
In Create Notification IW21 , They need 5 Long Text in Custom Tab ( Say Tab Name is MBR ).
TAB1 NOTIFICATION Standard Information , TAB2 REFERENCE OBJ , TAB 3 MalFunction , Breakdown Standard one...... TAB 7 ( Custom Tab ).
In Custom Tab , I added 5 LONG TEXT ( its 5 WHY Concept ).
When the User enters data in 5 Long text , it should store long text along with Notification number when save.
But Notification number will be generated @ the time of SAVE , but before that its just shows as
%0000000001 ( and Number will be generated 1000065479) at Save.
How to achive this .
I did this:
Added 5 Custom Container. and In PBO / PAI
PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT.
MODULE STATUS_0100.
PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
MODULE USER_COMMAND_0100.
IN PBO
   CREATE OBJECT TEXT_EDITOR1 ,    CREATE OBJECT TEXT_EDITOR2,    CREATE OBJECT TEXT_EDITOR3 like wise 5
   CALL METHOD TEXT_EDITOR1->SET_TEXT_AS_R3TABLE ,    CALL METHOD TEXT_EDITOR2->SET_TEXT_AS_R3TABLE .. Like wise 5 , So when the user Click on Custom Tab ( MBR ).
It give 5 Long text.
When he click tab1 or tab2 or tab3 .. and again tab MBR , still data is available.
How to store this data for future retrival ( IW22 or IW23 ) ?
Its working fine when I enter first time and goes here and there and finall save .
IN SAVE BADI , I imported the Long text and created Standard Text SO10 with Notification Number with LONG1 , LONG2 .. means 1000065479LONG1 as standard text.
But not working when I entered first time and go to tab1 and tab2 and then to MBR tab and added few more lines , its not exporting full lines and in IMPORT ( SAVE BADI ) giving ZERO Lines.
Please help and thanks for your quick response.

Dear Zafar,
I found a similar problem while uploading Porduction order long text. May be this information is useful for you.
The common task of changing the long text of a production orderu2019s operation can bring some surprises.
The first problem that is usually encountered is that after updating the long text with the function SAVE_TEXT, the new text is not visible in standard SAP transactions like CO03. The new text can be read with the function READ_TEXT though. The trick is that SAP uses the u201Clong text existsu201D indicator, the field TXTSP in the table AFVC. To make the text u201Cvisibleu201D to standard transactions, we have to set the TXTSP value to the current language (or the textu2019s language). Unfortunately, this has to be done with the direct UPDATE on the AFVC u2013 there are no known workarounds.
Another problem can be seen when the same order is processed by users that use different languages. While SAP allows to store the long text for the same operation in several languages, actually, only one text object will be active at the same time in regard to standard transactions u2013 the object in the last saved language. That means, when SAP writes the text back, the TXTSP will be overwritten with the current language (say, language A). If the next user is working in another language (language B), SAP will present the text in the u201Cfirstu201D language (A) in the CO03 (even if the text in language B exists!). But after saving, the text will be written in the new language and TXTSP will be set accordingly.
So, when working with long texts directly, you have to read with READ_TEXT using the language stored in TXTSP, NOT with the current language. When saving, you save in the current language and set the TXTSP to the current language. This way you are consistent with what SAP does and this will prevent you from surprises in a multilingual environment.

Kamal
