Uploading picture to the material master data

Hi friends,
I searched the forum about this subject, however there are mostly answers related to retail sector.
I'd like to learn if ECC 6.0 could only itself is able to this. I mean is ECC 6.0 enough to add pictures to material master data or is there any configuration or customization requirement for that?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Yusuf Gezer

yes, it is possible to store images to the materials. here you have at least 2 options, DMS and GOS.
DMS is document manament system, here it is even possible to classify the images for a better search. GOS is generic object services which is available in the maintenace transactions for material master and several other objects. Pretty easy to use, but....you cannot search for the images, you always have to go into the material and fom there you have to open the GOS to see whether an image exists or not.
further you should think about the place where you store these images and other attachments, I mean in SAP table system or in an optical disc system linked to SAP, which is much cheaper diskspace than the SAP tablespace.
A migration from DMS to DMS is relatively easy and can be accomplished with IDOCs via LSWM or ALE scenario.
Migration of GOS attachements is challenging. Nothing ready for use exists in SAP to do it.

Importing pictures into the item master data

Hello, everyone,
I want to import pictures into the items master data - does anyone know which size the picture should have?
The problem is - i just tested it with some pics of 640x480, but the placeholder in the item data must be smaller, so the picture is scaled down and as result of that it doesn't look good (the colors are falsified and there are also some artifacts). If I double-click the picture and it's opened in an own window in its original resolution - everything is fine..but i want a good quality of the picture in the item data already.
So my first idea was to make pictures of the resolution of that placeholder in SBO, but i don't know how to get this. Any ideas?
Best Regards,
Leon Detzel

Hi Ulrich
The picture size does not matter, but rather a setting in Administration > System Initialization > General settings > Display TAB. On this tab you will find a setting with a drop down called "Ext. Image Processing". Set this to full and the full quality of any pictures will be used, but of course resized to fit the field. Bear in mind that images are not embedded in the tables but only the file name of the image is stored in the table.
Kind regards

I have updated the product hierarchy field for the list of materials using BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA.

Function module to retrieve the material master data

Hi all,
creating material master dta i am using BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA .is there any f.m with same structures as BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA to retrieve the materi master data.

Hi,
Not sure if there is any function module to get material master data with the same structure..
But..
You can select the data from MARA, MARC, etc...and convert it to the BAPI structures using the following function modules..
CFX_MAP2E_MARA_TO_BAPI_MARA
CFX_MAP2E_MARC_TO_BAPI_MARC

Material master data upload in wms

Dear all ,
Kindly explain me how to upload the material master data in WMS.
Thanx in advance.
Regards,
velu

Hi Velu
You have to load this in a normal way you do it with LSMW.
Additionally you have to update the warehouse view fields too.
Select the batch input recording in LSMW and go to the MM01 transaction enter all the required fields including WM views.
If you handle material with fixed bin strategy & Replenishment scenario, you have to create a material by selecting the respective storage type in "selection view tab"

Legacy number in the material master

Dear SAP Guru,
Good day.
We are currently in production support today and we want to understand how a legacy number differs from a material number. As we can see in the material master (Classification View) there is an indicated legacy number there with a corresponding value. Could you further elaborate on how and what is the usage of a legacy number?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Kind regards,
JMT

Jasmin,
Basically some clients would be interested to track the SAP material number with referance to the Legacy material number, this data would be uploaded during the Cut-over and data conversion to SAP.
I would suggest you look at the Functional/Tehnical specification document for the conversion program which was used for uploading the material master data into SAP, that would give you the business reason and the field mapping details.

I would like to know how can I alredy related the material master data that I am creating with a possible hierarchy to make it esier at the time of creating the asset?
Some one could briefly explain to me how can I related the material master data and a creation of an asset in SAP?
thanks

Hi guys

That was really good answer you gave it is according with the Help instruction that I read, but the main point for me is that I will not know the asset description or capitalized date or serial number, location, etcu2026 until I goods receipt the individual material creating serial nods and the equipment master data.
In this scenario from the equipment master data is there any way to create an Asset master data, create the asset master data with the information of the GR equipment master Data or populate the Asset AS01 with the equipment master data?
Otherwise I will need manually create the Asset and manually synchronize the equipment with the asset?
Thanks Guys it have been incredibly helpful this network I hope I can help some one in future as it have been helpful for me at the moment.
