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.....
Cheers

  • SAP MDG and article master in SAP IS-Retail

    We need a solution, where external vendors can contribute with article information, the master data persons can enrich the vendor information, and where the articles can be created appropriately afterwards in SAP ERP.
    SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) seems to be the right solution for standard SAP. And SAP MDG has also been described in enhancement packages for SAP Retail since at least ECC 6.05, Nevertless previous discussions such has MDG-Material and IS-Retail  indicate that SAP MDG is not appropriate for SAP Retail.
    Please contribute with your considerations and experiences: Is MDG appropriate for article master data maintenance in SAP Retail?

    Hi Sune
    The thread you are refering to is quite old, there is a solution available now for doing retail master data governance on SAP MDG. This is offered as a consulting solution now.
    The data model itself is modelled after the IS Retail data model for Article master and would leverage on the data governance capabilites offered by the MDG framework.
    It is not exactly a supplier portal for data exchange but there have been architecture discussions on using a 'lean' version of the data model as a vendor facing portal and seperating this from internal facing MDG for enriching the ERP specific parts of the article master data , before governing and commiting to the ERP system.
    If you are interested in talking more about it would be happy to do so.

  • 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.

    Hi James
    You can use BAPI_MATERIAL_MAINTAINDATA_RT.

  • Material master upload to new SAP system

    Hi,
    Please help me to decide the procedure on migrating material master from ECC 5.0 to ECC 6.0.
    One of my idea is to use LSMW and other is to use ALE.
    I am expecting many changes in the current material master, so using standard ALE BD10 is difficult. Example: ECC5.0 material type "ABC" would be "XYZ". (XYZ and ABC are of same material type, example: FERT). I choose to have different material number in new system. Like that there are few more changes.
    What are all the best methods to extract the data from ECC5.0? I was checking the program RMDATGEN to download the data, but it is not readable. I can prepare a file format and map the columns in ECC6.0 LSMW. Since both the systems are SAP, I am thinking why to prepare a seperate input file format? Again I need to download the data from ECC5.0 for that format. Is there a simple to download and upload the data? Please let me know.
    Thanks
    Nagarajan

    Here you define your Partner profile:
    IMG > Application Link Enabling (ALE) > Modelling and Implementing Business Processes > Partner Profiles and Time of Processing > Maintain Partner Profile Manually
    And in the details you define for yor message type MATMAS:
    Receiver port: X
    Output mode: Collect Idocs and Do not start subsystem
    This collection writes the idocs to a file.
    This file can then be found in SAP file system with transaction AL11.
    a clever basis guy can then move it from there to your network.

  • 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?

  • 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!

  • Rounding Profile Issue in Article Master - IS Retail System

    Hi,
    We have an Issue with the Rounding Profile in Article Master of IS Retail System.
    Rounding Profile (50) Maintained at Purchasing View of Article Master (MM41 & MM42) and the same is getting copied to Logistic DC View and Logistic Stores of Article Master
    Scenario: -
    DC Rounding Profile is being incorrectly applied to Store to Distibution Ceter STO
    Return STO between Stores (xx01 u2013 xx10) and Distribution Center (Site u2013 XXAA and XXBB)
    Store is returning the Stock to the Distribution Center. While creation of Return STO, System is taking the Rounding Profile QTY maintained at Purchasing View of Article Master Record.
    Configuration Done:
    The Rounding Profile Field hide at the Logistic: DC View and Logistic: Store View of Article Master (OMSR  MARC-RDPRF).Hence the Rounding Profile Field at Both Logicstics View got disappeared in Article Master Screens. But still the entries are visible at MARC Table.
    Issue:-
    The system is picking the Wrong Qty (50) instead of 1 Qty while creation of Return STO between Stores and Distribution Center.The System is prompting the Qty 50 (Which is maintained in Purchasing View of Article Master but No Rounding Profile is maintained at Logistic: DC View and Logistic: Stores View of the same Article).
    REQUIREMENT:
    While creation of Return STO between the Stores and Distribution Center the Rounding Profile should be inactive.
    The system should pick up the Right Qty entered instead of Rounding Profile Qty.
    Your valuable suggestions or advises are highly appreciated...

  • Asking for help about modification to article master data of retail system

    Deal All,
    Is there any one can tell me how to modify the article master data in retail system ?
    I have tried to deal with the requirement by BDC and calling the function BAPI_MATERIAL_MAINTAINDATA_RT,
    but both of the two approaches can not update the customized fields in the table MAW1.
    For BDC, the changed data can only be update in debug mode.
    For the function, no customized fields of table MAW1 are taken into account as to its parameters.
    Can anyone tell how I should do ?
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi Kevin,
    Try FM: MATERIAL_UPDATE_ALL_RETAIL

  • 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.

  • SAP Retail : Article Master Data Transfer using LSMW/ARTMAS05: EAN Error

    Hi Bjorn Panter,
    I want to thank you for providing very informative articles on the Master Data of ERP Retail.
    We are currently loading articles to SAP from legacy and use your articles on ERP Retail as part of our knowledge warehouse.
    We have encountered an error which has stumped our conversion.
    We are getting an M3 535 error stating that "First specify the main EAN for the unit EA".  We are using LSMW (IDOC Method, Basic Type ARTMAS05).
    Our MARM segments have generic and variants.  The UPC and UPC category (set to UC) are filled for the variants and blank in the segment containing the generic.
    Our MEAN segments contain variants only with the UPC and UPC category (set to UC) filled.
    Our UC EAN category is configured with a blank check digit algorithm and a number range of 12 digits.  We are loading our variants with EANs that are 12 digits.
    When debugged IDOC_INPUT_ARTMAS, I noticed that :
    In routine  MARM_UEBERGEBEN (in function module BAPI_MATERIAL_MAINTAINDATA_RT), this code clears our MARMX indicators :
       LOOP AT UNITSOFMEASURE.
        ART_DATA_EXISTS = 'X'.    "JH/05.01.00/4.6C Entkopplung der MALG
        IF UNITSOFMEASURE-FUNCTION NE C_MSGFN_D.   ->>>> this checks if our function code is 003 (which is a delete).
    *     TMFIELDRES aufbauen
          CLEAR UNITSOFMEASUREX.                   ->>>> Since we are doing a create, it clears the indicators in unitsofmeasureX
    To bypass this clear, I debugged the program and overlayed the indicators and marked UPC and UPC category as 'X'.  This worked and we were able to post our IDOC successfully... THe UPCs showed in the MARM and MEAN tables.
    However, knowing that there are a lot of Retail companies loading articles into their SAP system, it would seem odd that no one has reported this as a bug or no one has posted this issue in SDN.  I could not find any OSS note related to this issue either.
    Can you please help us figure out what is wrong ? Have you encountered this error in the past ?  Is there something in config that we should check ?  Should we look at fields in our segments ?
    Any help from you would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Sarah

    Dear Sarah,
    please open an OSS customer message.
    Put in a valid IDOC ARTMAS number with this error and open your system.
    I guess either it is a bug in IODC structure or you found a bug in software.
    My colleages will take care.
    Regards
    Björn
