Article creation thorugh MM41
H i,
i am creating the article master data but not able to see the code for article type but only description in dropdown list. Can anybody tell me how can i see the article type code with the description in the dropdown list?
Thanks in advance!

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
Rgds,
Aram.

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. -
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.

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,

Adding custom fields in article master transaction - MM41.
Hi ,
Please find my requirement below.
Create a new custom field in the MM41->Logistic Distribution View->Other Logistic data.
The new field would be Shelf life which would be added in MARC table MARC-ZIPRKZ.
Now I would like to know how to bring this enhanced field MARC-ZIPRKZ into the Other Logistic data screen of MM41.
Have seen lot of discussion in the community. But a clear step by step procedural advice and guidance is highly appreciated.
Regards
SivaHi Siva:
Modification free enhancement of the article master is common. Part of this implementation is technical and part of this is functional configuration.
From a functional perspective, you'll want to consider far more than what you have indicated. For example:
MM41/42/43 Screen Sequence
Reference Handling – Field Selection Groups
Data Retention Levels / Copy Rules (e.g. when appending MARC)
Change Pointers
Conversion / Data Loading / ALE ARTMAS Inbound
ALE ARTMAS Outbound
MM46 Article Mass Update
WRFMASSMAT Integrated Mass Change
F4 Help / Check Tables
Text Tables / Translation
As far as data retention levels for extended fields, you can distribute customer-defined fields for MARC and other tables without including new segments in the IDoc.
Please consider:
Create Programs for Customized Subscreens
Menu Path: SPRO > Logistics - General > Material Master > Configuring the Material Master > Create Program for Customized Subscreen
Read the IMG documentation here!
Screen SequenceMenu Path: SPRO > Logistics - General > Material Master > Configuring the Material Master > Define Structure of Data Screens for Each Screen Sequence
Assign Screen Sequence to Article TypesMenu Path: SPRO > Logistics - General > Material Master > Configuring the Material Master > Maintain Order of Main and Additional Screen

Article creation through BAPI_MATERIAL_MAINTAINDATA_RT
Hi,
How can I create article throug bapi BAPI_MATERIAL_MAINTAINDATA_RT.
What all inputs are required?
Is it neccesarry to give material number, can't it generate automatically?
Reagrds,
DivyaHi Divya,
In BAPI BAPI_MATERIAL_MAINTAINDATA_RT does not contain any field to select purchasing view.
For purchasin view:
After material creation you have to write BDC
or you have to use any FM or you can use IDOC INFREC to create purchase info record for that material
I used INFREC IDOC to create purchse view.

I am getting the error: "144 the field MARC-DISMM is defined as a required field; it doesnot contain an entry."
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. -
Article Creation Using workflow
Hi Experts,
i am new to workflow.
i have a requirement to Create a Article using workflow. i am using BO BUS1001006. and my requirement is to fill the data in mm01 with different agents.
Now my main problem is now how can we give a user only BASIC DATA screen of MM01 and 2nd user only MRP data screen and 3rd so on.... i.e BASIC DATA input guy should not have access to MRP and vice versa..hope u understood.
How to Achieve this requirement. can you please explain.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.

Adobe Content Viewer + Article creation
Hello,
I've created a folio in Indesign CS5.5 but I can't create an article when I click the "New" button. The following error message displays "An error has occurred while updating article layouts. The InDesign file for the layout cannot be found. Please relink the article to desired source files".
All I've created so far is a scrolling text box which I can't preview because the Adobe Content Viewer fails to launch (dual orientation document).
I've done a clean install of Indesign CS5.5 and installed the latest Folio Producer and Builder Tools (CS5.5) posted on the Adobe DPS website.
Has anyone come across this problem recently and if so what was your solution.
Thank you.
RichardTo negilaxman,
This message has occurred for myself and asks to relink the source files, this worked before a new update of folio tools V 8.0.8.22 (CS6).
1. How can you relink these files when the server cannot find the folio on you local drive but it's available in the cloud.
2. Also Is there a easier way to duplicate all folio content ie :
All Vertically only
All Horizontal only
Also horizontal and vertical documents in the cloud need a way to re-link back towards the local drive or a cloud folio duplicate without any need to re-upload all your previous content.
Any users having the same problems with small or larger folios after this new update.
Regards

SVU123dear SVU,
First you need to do listing of the article for the site
or check whether Assotrment is maintained or not else use WSOA2 to check assortment
you not only need to maintain assorment n listing also CHECK PROFIT CENTER for site
to attach profit center
go to MM42
give article no, site and select site / plant view
there you can maintain profit center
