ARTICLE MASTER UPLOAD

Hi guys,
I'm using LSMW & IDOC (ARTMAS) to upload article master. When I test the Idoc with WE19, it goes to an User_Exit that I've implemented. When I run it through the LSMW though it does not go there at all. Do you guys know the reason and what is the solution?
Actually, what I'm trying to do is do update a custom field in MARM table.
Thanks a lot.
Franck Lone

Hi James
You can use BAPI_MATERIAL_MAINTAINDATA_RT.

Article Master Uploading in IS- Retail system

Hi Experts,
Please tell me what are the steps in Uploading Article Master in IS Retail system during GO Live???
How to convert Articles in Legacy system to SAP system (Whether we need to change number range (Internal or External) of Article Type during Upload time???)
We need to extend each variant of generic article for purchasing, sales, logistics DC and Store View since each variant article is brought at different price in Different DCu2019s. (Once we create Generic article, then only we will come to know the variant codes u2013 How to handle this scenario during GO-Live)
Can any one tell me, how these activities are generally handled in IS-RETAIL Project???
Any Input is highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,

Uploading articles should be done in all cases always with IDOC type ARTMAS
Converting can be done with migration workbench LSMW
Number ranges can be internally or externaly. It doesnt matter in migration.
If you plan to use internal numbers for article numbers, then define a numberrange
set the counter higher than your current number of articles.
Migrate the articles in the created number gap range.
Please do not mix up master data and prices.
With ARTMAS you can migrate the views and pure master data. I recommend to use the WRKKEY fields at the end of the IDOC to speed up processing.
Always don't forget to define REFRENCE DC and REFERENCE STORE setting in customizing. Article master will work only if these settings are correct.
To simplify process, create manually some reference articles. That helps a lot.
For all other things or hints, we need more details.
It can be very easy up to very sophisticated. The artcicle master is a nice piece of software, very flexible, but also very bad, if you use it by a wrong way.....

IDOC PROCESS IN LSMW

IDOC type for Article Master : IS Retail

Hi all,
I am new to ALE/ IDOC and working in a scenario to create article master in SAP from third party application. The client is using IS Retail system with ECC 6.0. Can you please suggest what IDOC type to be used. The IDOC will be sent to SAP system from the third-party application. The IDOC can then be processed to create article master. Is ARTMAS the right message type for it? Somebody also suggested using message type WP_PLU. Can someone please let me know what is the difference between them?
Thanks,
Sonika

Hello Sonika,
WE_PLU is generally used along with the POS interface.

This is basically your call depending on what data the message type is intended to carry and the use. ARTMAS should be the choice in your case.

User exit; Article master SAP Retail for MVKE table?

Is there a user exit in SAP Retail for the MVKE table?
The articles is maintained in a third-party system and are transferred to SAP via Idoc. For sales sets, article category = 10, these requires a item category = ERLA in SAP (MVKE-MTPOS) so that the sales set "explodes" in the sales order.
The third-party system doesn't maintain sales org-spesific data for the articles, therefor we use one ref.article for all article groups. And because sales sets exits in many article groups, we found it difficult to have ref.articles for all of these article groups.
Also the article type is also "normal",so the only way to differentiate the sales sets, are via article category. But since SAP has no link between article category and item category in customizing (as far as I know), I wonder if there is a user-exit to set the item category based on the article category?

Transfer article master from SAP R/3 To External Systems(Futura) Using IDOC

Dear Experts
Please let me know how to Transfer article master from SAP R/3 To External Systems(Futura) or text file Using IDOCs.
thanks

Hello,
Since you want to transfer Article Master, it should be a Retail System. So you should use Message Type ARTMAS. For fullbuild, you can use transaction WDBM and for changes, you can use WDBU. For changes, you can enable change pointers for required fields using BD64.
Thanks,

How to setup the article master and link up with the image file of that art

I nteed help to setup the article master to display article image.
Can someone guide me with the details?
Thanks

Hi Colin,
In MM41/42/43 from the Main menu select System->Services for Object. Now select Create to Attach any file (the article Photo).
You can view the Photo by going to same transactions and select System->Services for Object. Now select Attachmetn List.
This is one of the method to attach document to an object in SAP.
Another standard way is to do it using DMS module. I have done it before but do not remember the exact process. Will let you know if and when I get details.

Asset Master Uploading from Legacy

Hi All SAP Gurus,
I am doing the Asset Master Uploading from the Legacy System. I am able to upload the data from transactions AS91, OASV. But I am facing a peculiar problem.
I want to uplad the balances in the middle of the year i.e. 1st Feb 09. My Fiscal year is from January to December. So whenever I am uploading the data & afterwards I am doing the Depreciation Run, the system is calculating the depreciation from January itself. I have maintained
The Date of the Legacy system transfer as 01.02.2009.
Last period of Posted Depreciation in Prv. System as 2009/01.
Can anyone tell me what is the problem? Whether this can be taken care by the shortened fiscal year?
Thanks in advance,

When you want that SAP calculates the depreciation for Januari the set-up is:
Take over date 31-12-2008 and last depreciation run old system per 12-2008
Whit this you have the option to run the depreciati for Januari or to do an uplanned depreciation that you post in Februari January and February
When not:
Take over date 31-01-2009 and last depreciation run old system per 01-2009 in that case you have to upload the depreciation from period 01 with AS91?
There are some other options to!

I have encountered a peculiar problem in MM01 material master upload.

I have encountered a peculiar problem in MM01 material master upload. The
BDC program uploads data using Session method. The problem is when i
process the session in foreground mode the data uploads successfully, but
when i process it in background mode it gives the following errors in the
log.
'Control Framework: Fatal error - GUI cannot be reached'.
'Runtime error RAISE_EXCEPTION has occurred'.
When i debugged the program i found that this error is encountered when
data is being input in 'Purchase Order text' editor of MM01 transaction.
There is no problem with the BDC recording or the program as i could see.
The only problem what i believe is the system is unable to call the text
editor for inputting purchase order text data in background mode.

Hi
Try uploading a BAPI it would be better

How is the forecast profile tied to the article master?

Hello-
I understand how to create a forecast profile, but I assume there is some way to assign that profile to articles or material groups, and I cannot figure that out. If it is assigned, it will show on the article master in the right field, but it cannot be changed or maintained in the article master directly. So, there must be another method to link/assign these outside of the article master.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks-
Brady

Hello-
Thank you for the answer, I found it - I have a Retail system, so it is structured a bit differently, but the tab is ultimately there.
Thanks again-
Brady

LSMW : Customer Master upload

hello,
i am uploading customer master data using the standard object : 0050 and program : RFBIDE00.
I am trying to upload data like Street2, street3 and street 4 which can be viewed in the street address drop down in transacction XD01/02. In my lsmw i am using the mapping for these fields in the structure BIADDR2 where the fields i mapped to are str_suppl1, str_suppl2, str_suppl3.
but when i try and upload data i do not get these fields updated even though i have given them in the upload file.
Please can anyone tell me the reason why it is doing so?
Thanks and Regards
Swanand

Hi Swanand,
We have done the customer master upload using LSMW but with the IDoc variant (message type DEBMAS). You can upload all data you need using this IDoc.
