Error while creatting the Material Master IDOC in ERP 2005

Hello All,
I am trying to create scenario from RFID-Enabled Outbound Processing - Conf Guide (SAP AII 4.0).
I am using Auto ID 4.0 on a NW04s system. The backend is a ERP2005 system.
The scenario requires that I need to create a material in the backend and send it to the NW04s system using IDOCs.
After completing the configuration on the backend, I tried sending the Material Master IDOC to Auto ID from the transaction AIDMM. I get a message that IDOC is just being created. But I could not find it in the transaction WE02.
On debugging I found that the function MARD_GENERIC_READ_MATNR_PLANT resulted in error.
Thanks for any kind of input.
Regards,
Rahul

Dear,
Check ABAPer for file settings.
- CANNOT_SKIP_ATTRIBUTE_RECORD : The attributes could not be read in the EPS parcel. The file cannot be opened for reading, because it may have been deleted in the meantime.
- CANNOT_DETERMINE_EPS_PARCEL : The EPS parcel is not in the EPS Inbox, because it may have been deleted. You must download the relevant patch again (for example, Hot Package).
- CANNOT_DETERMINE_DATA_FILES : The name of a data file could not be determined, because a profile parameter was not correctly configured. Check the settings using the report RSPARAM.
- CANNOT_DISASSEMBLE_R_DATA_FILE : An R3trans data file could not be unpacked. A possible error source is that the relevant EPS parcel was not found. The data file could not be opened for writing. An error occurred when transmitting a 20K block from the EPS Inbox to the directory /usr/sap/trans/data (UNIX).
- CANNOT_DISASSEMBLE_D_DATA_FILE : An ADO data file could not be unpacked. The reasons are the same as with the message CANNOT_DISASSEMBLE_R_DATA_FILE .
- CANNOT_CREATE_COFILE : The cofile could not be created from the relevant data file. One possible error source is that <sys>adm does not have write authorization for the directory /usr/sap/trans/cofiles (UNIX).
Check Note: 70752.

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.

Ignificance of the Industry Sector selection in the Material Master

hi all,
We need information on the significance of the Industry Sector selection in the Material Master field. I understand that it can influence field selection and the screen sequence of the material master record. We are particularly interested to know the influence of the industry sector u201CPharmaceutical Industryu201D .
Any inputs would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
Please check follwoing links
[MM01- Industry Sector;
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/ff/515b3149d811d182b80000e829fbfe/content.htm]
1. Define Industry Sectors and Industry-Sector-Specific Field Selection (transaction OMS3) -> assign a field reference to field selection
2. Maintain Field Selection for Data Screens (transaction OMS9) -> define a specific field selection for a field selection group (for example, depending on industry sector (the field reference appears on the lower table control).
Like the material type, the industry sector also has a control function. When you create a material master record, the industry sector determines:
Which screens appear and in which order
Which industry-specific fields appear on each screen
The industry sector you assign to a material cannot subsequently be changed. In Customizing, you can define new industry sectors and maintain the field reference for field selection control according to your enterprise-specific requirements.
Most data in the material master record can be maintained directly by the user. But some information is automatically updated by the system. When you enter goods movements, for example, the system updates the stock and consumption data. Statistical information, such as the date of original creation and that of the last change, can be invoked with , with the quick-info text Information on material.
Some data in the material master is used for information purposes only, for example, description, size, and dimensions. Other material data has a controlling function in an application. For example, the MRP type controls the MRP procedure and the price control indicator determines which material valuation procedure is used

Update of cost in the material master

Hi all,
From the purchasing point of view,In the normal process Cost in the Material master gets updated from purchasing documnents automatically.In this case,manually if the cost is changed in the purchase order affects the cost in the material master.My requirement is this should be done automatically after receiving the vendors confirmation of list of material costs.There may be chance of change in the cost of the materials.so the costs of the materials which were changed should get updated in the material master automatically(VPRS).
Ie changing of the costs of the materials in the purchase order should be reduced .How this will done??
If we have more than 2000 line items in the purchase order,it will be quite little bit difficult to update each material cost in the purchase order .
Thanks in advance..
Regards...VM

Hi,
Normally material will be valuated with two types of price controls S -standard price and V-moving avaerage price.
A std price as its name indicated it is std and will not chnage.
A moving average price will chnage accordingly with the change in the material price.
Normally it will be better create a info record for the material and vendor combination for the plant or purchase organisation with a info update indicator in the purchase order will serve your pupose .
With the proper settings at SPRO system creates info record during creation of PO if it does not exist or updates the existing record if it has one with the latest price details in the form of last purchasing document so that these details get defaulted during creation of PO.
However you can create a outline aggrement so that a PO can be created with reference to that.
Or you can create a condition record for the price for your combination so that it can get defaulted.
The price which is there in PO will not be defaulted to material master.
Or time to time you can review the prices and maintain via MR21.

Material value is been updated incorrectly in the material master

Hi,
In the material master for a material it has negative stock but the value displayed is in positive. I have activated negative stock for this material. This issue is occuring only for one plant and for rest of the plants it works fine as the value for the negative stock is displayed in negative for that material master.
Please suggest.

This indicator points to the customizing of picking strategies. This way SAP knows which picking strategy to take for a particular material, as the picking strategy may differ from material to material

GTIN & UPC Stored on the Material Master Configuration

Experts,
I am looking for a way to store the UPC code and the GTIN number on the material master in ECC. Like the EAN/UPC field I am looking to know if there is a way to have both the GTIN and the UPC field stored in the same field with SAP calulating the check digit and prefix. If not is there another field on the material master that I can store the value for the GTIN and have a way of storing the additional units of measure GTINs also. Any documentation around the storing of the GTIN / UPC would be appreciative.
Thanks!

Hi
GTIN has existed for several years to allow packages of retail items to be identified without going to the detail
of EAN-128. GTIN is essentially prefix indicating package type and then EAN-13 or zero plus UCC-12 (with check digit recalculated)
See http://www.ean-int.org/products.html for more details
SAP does not seem to have defined a GTIN outside of MDM and CRM
We haven't implemented GTIN but do use EAN-13 and other EAN codes. For GTIN I would create a new EAN category as a copy of HE (EAN-13) and create a new EAN number range as 1001000000000 to 9999999999999 and assign the range to
the new EAN code. All this assumes you will assign your GTIN externally. The range copes with GTIN based on both EAN-13 and UCC-12 (=UPC). You see more EAN/UPC fields in material master additional data.

SAP EH&S :- Dangerous goods indicator profile in material master

Helo All.
Can anyone explain the sequence of customisation for dangerous goods checks carried out during sales?
The DG indicator profile is assigned to material master and is configured in IMG.
What is the sequence of customisation ?
To where this indicator profile is assigned? How further checks are carried out?
Points are assured !!!!

Hi Anay,
Dangerous goods checks must be carried out and shipping documents must be completed with dangerous goods data for sales and transportation.In case of hazardous substances, an advance copy of MSDS of the products shall be sent to the customers.
Material based dangerous goods master u2013 dangerous goods checks and the automated creation of dangerous goods document from sales and distribution process are covered therein. The material master may trigger report shipping when a material is assigned to a substance. The MSDS output is then selected according to a condition scheme.
Access the activity using one of the following navigation options:
Environment, Health & Safety - Dangerous Goods Management - Dangerous Goods Checks and Dangerous Goods Documents/EDI - Dangerous Goods Checks - Assign Dangerous Goods Check Schemas - Assign DG Check Schemas for Sales Documents
Or transaction code: SPRO
On the change view u2013 assign DG checks schemas for sales document and save. Return and follow same step - Assign DG Check Schemas for Shipping Documents.
Step:3
TC: VV21
Choose output type u2013 LD00 and choose return
Enter data for sales organization and customer C-1002 and save.
Hope the info above will be useful.

New Text in the Sales Text View in the Material Master

Hi All,
I want to create new text ID in the material master sales text tab
Can you please help me in how to create the new text for material master sales text tab view.
Regards
Rajesh

Well it may not be possible by standard SAP to create in Material.
AN alternative might be to use a standard text type and then call it in your Text Determination Procedure.
T-code "SO10" --> Give "Text Name & Text ID & Language --> Click at "Create" --> On next screen --> Go to (Menu) --> change editor --> Write the text which you want
Go to VOTXN , and maintain the required confirguation to get this standard Text copied to the material during order processing.

Open field for cost center on the material master

We have a unique requirement in a facility we intend to implement plant maintenance in to track a cost center to a material by including the cost center on the material master somewhere. Cost center is not a field on any of the material tabs we use for maintenance materials, but the requirement is just that it is tracked in a field, even if it's just an open field like a "user defined field" or another field not used often. We realize there are disadvantages such as the field not being checked against active cost centers, but we are looking at options short of adding cost center as a field manually to a tab (which I believe would require ABAP assistance). I don't think there are any other fields/tabs we are currently not utilizing but I could be wrong... The best option we can think of is adding it in a material characteristic so it shows on the classifications tab, but I thought I would see if anyone has any other ideas.
Thanks

Not sure what is the need of cost center on material master when you want to implement Plant maintenance module. Do you have any specific requirement for this?
Ideally cost center will be derived from either functional location/ equipment (equivalent of material master) on to PM work order or notification.
Can you elaborate the requirement?
After all if you wish to go with cost center, then I suggest it should be at plant level as PM requires plant level distribution. You can add up a custom field and give the reference of cost center data element with help of developer.

Plant specific fields in the material master for product move

Hi, SAP gurus,
My scenario is we are moving a existing product in US plant to Brazil plant. What are the fields in the material master that are specific to a plant that will change. For ex MRP controller will change from plant to plant. Like that can anybody please provide me a list of fields that i need to be looking at?
Thank you
Anusha

Hi Anusha,
First of all, list down all your materials those you want to extend to new plant.
a) Secondly, pay attention to those fields you will find "filled" in those materials at plant level.
b) MARC comes handy for you to analyse which fields are at plant level.
Intersection of fields with values between a and b are the ones you need to work out.
Good luck,
Regards

Authorisation object for "PO text in the material master"

Hi,
My requirement is as below:
"All users can see the Purchase Order Text as usual, but only a few users should be allowed to create / change the PO Long Text.

Please let me know, How to map this.
As per my knowledge thsi is possible only thru authorisation. But I want to know what is the authorisation object for "PO text in the material master" (Pl note that only for PO text in the material master field). we want control on "PO text of material master"
Regards.
Chinna

Hi,
The authorisation object is "M_MATE_MAT", pl check
