Change UoM in Master Data

Dear All,
I am going to change UoM in material master data but the system prompts an error "Independent requirements are already assigned to the Material". However, I already deleted the independent requirements and still the system does not allow. There are no existing PO or stocks for the material.
Where else should i look into to resolve my error?
Thanks and regards
Ching

Hello Ching,
If it is the base unit of measure that you want to chnage and you have made some use of the material already then the way you will change the base unit of measure is to create a new material copying the existing one but changing the base unit of measure of course before saving and deleting the existing material afterwards.

Hi,
All the details mentioned seems to be correct.
just change one "automotive" material and check change documents are getting generated.
i hope partner profiles are already in place.
once change docuements are inpalce check RBDMIDOC program is scheduled in back ground or you can manually execute the program for testing.
and check the IDoc generated.
do you want supress some segements?
di your NOn-sap ssytem can accept Idoc?

To track changes to the master data

Is there a report or program to run to see, who made changes to the master data, deleted a record or so?
Please help.

Hi ,
Use the report RPUAUD00(Logged changes in infotype data). This report is to display all documents that were created with the creation of infotype log (short: Change documents). any changes, creation/deletion.
to ensure that changes to infotype fields are entered (changes, creations, deletions), these fields must be maintained in the following views: HR Documents: Infotypes with Documents (V_T585A), HR Documents: Field Group Definition (V_T585B), and HR Documents: Field Group Characteristics (V_T585C).
Hope this hellp you.

Mass change of Asset Master data

Hi!
Is there any transaction code for mass change of asset master data. I need to change Depreciaiton start date for all assets?
regs,
Ramesh

Use OA02 - Mass change, create a substitution. Add in all prerequisites and save it.
Go to AR01, execute it for the list of assets to be changed and create a worklist for the same.
Execute the worklist in AR31 and refresh it till all changes are completed.

Mass change of customer master data

Hi,
I would like to do a mass change of customer master data.
I need to remove the international VAT register number for local Polish customers, as we will use the local NIP number for these customers.
Which transaction code do I need to use?
Are there any things I should keep in mind?
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Linda

Hi,
You haev a Transaction called MASS. Please check whether you have the authorization for the same. If you have then it is very much easy for you to maintain the same. If you dont have the MASS authorization then you have to create a LSMW and then make the change.
Steps:
1. Enter MASS
2. Object type - Select KNA1 (avaialble in the drop down) and execute
3. You should have an option "Customer master (VAT registration numbers general section) " with table KNAS. Execute
You will be able to choose those customers whom you want and make the changes.
Hope this should help you.

Online Change Transfer for Master Data

HI,
whats transaction for Online Change Transfer for Master Data, and how to use it.
regards
manish

Hi Manish ,
You make the settings for change transfers in transaction *CFC9 (Change Transfer
for Master Data setting)*
For material masters, customers and vendors, the change transfer can occur
periodically or can be executed online immediately. You also have the option of
deactivating the change transfer.
You can also configure an immediate change transfer for work centers and
resources. In this case, the change transfer only concerns the header data of the
individual work center capacities.
Hope it will help you.

Attribute Change Run VS Master data activation

hello guys
I just want to know whats the difference between 'Attribute Change Run' and Master data Activation...For me,both seem to serve same purpose.......in which scenarios do we use them?
Thanks and Regards
S

Hi S,
Although they seem to be the same there are differences.
Master Data activation.: When you load master data, they are loaded as D or M versions. Check the table as /BI0/P<infoobject tech name> , you will see different versions, if you have not activated your master data yet.
Note : If you are checking for SAP standard objects, drop the 0 eg table for 0MATERIAL would be /BI0/PMATERIAL.
When you activate master data, all D and M versions of records get transferred into A or active versions. So after activation, you should not find anything other than A versions.
ACR: The use of an ACR is two fold. 1st use is that it performs the same action as a master data activation automatically.
The 2nd function, is that it realligns the aggregates for the changed attributes
let me give you an example.
You have an aggregate based on material group which is an aggregate of material.
Consider that you have a material X which initial belonged to group A.
The aggregate would look like this
Material Material Group Keyfigure
X A 100
Now you change the material group of the same material as B
The aggregate would not change automatically....ie it would still be X A 100
To realign the aggregate,you use an ACR. After running an ACR, the aggregate would look like
X B 100
Hope this helps.
Regards.

Changes in the master data of assets

Hello Guys,
Is there some transaction or table in the assets accounting, where are recorded the historical changes in the master data?
Thanks a lot.
Best regards,
Rodrigo Soares

Hi Rodrigo,
To add on Bernard's post, after selecting the asset using tcode AS03 and choose Environment tabe in the top of the SAP screen - you will have two options to choose
a) on asset
b) on field
The first option will entire list of changes happened on the assets and in the second option you can get the list of changes for any particular field in the asset master data.
Best Regards

Activate Change Document - Product Master Data

Hi Experts,
I am looking for comments on the following things. I hope the experts could share experience related to real time projects that you have worked / are working.
I am considering the option to activate Change Documents for Product Master data, Product Location Master data and Transportation Lanes.
Question I have (Please answer on any or all of the questions, if you can):
1. Have you activated change documents on Product Master data? If so, how many products you have in total (number of entries in /SAPAPO/MATKEY)?
Have you turned it off later due to performance reasons? Or Storage/hardware constraints?
2. Do you have the change documents active on Location product master data? How many location products do you have in total (no. of entries in /SAPAPO/MATLOC)?
3. Transportation lanes - Change documents activated? Does it also say if the external procurement relationship is activated or deactivated and the user who did this and date? How many transportation lanes do you have in total? Is there a possibility to activate the change documents on transportation lanes only for those which are procured from external vendors (not for Stock transfers... only for those arrives in from Suppliers)?
Thanks,
Suresh

Hi Satish,
Thanks for your reply
2 more question:
1. Are you logging the changes to all fields of product/product-location master data? Or you are logging only some of the data like: Product UoM changes / Product Header / etc?
2. Also, regarding transportation lanes, does it also say who activated or deactivated the external procurement relationship and when?
Thanks,
Suresh

While loading master data (customer,material and order number) all delta,we faced the error "ALE change pointers are not set correctly".
In the discussions posted earlier,it was said that the change pointer in BD61 activation would solve the issue.
If i do that now,whether my other delta loads will be affected or it doesnt have any relation to my other transactional deltas.Pls clarify me.
Also explain me the reason fot this error.
Thanks & Regards

Example of Change Tracking in Master Data Services

Ive read through, and performed the steps in this article by microsoft on change Tracking in MDS using business rules.
MDS Change Tracking
The problem is that its not really tracking anything. The most i can do here is place a value in a column when some value in that row has changed. Its super limited and adds very little value:
-I cant make this value a date,
-I cant create a new row and set a field in the original row to "expired".
Basically I cant see how the product can do anything that one would actually need change tracking for.
Ive searched but found no demos on how this is actually used.
Is there a demo out there, perhaps by microsoft that shows the extent to which Change Tracking in MDS can be used ?

The feature allows you to run a business rule whenever a change is made to a tracked entity member attribute. Business rules are the main extensibility mechanism in MDS, and can do way more than just setting a member attribute. For instance you
can send email, kick of a workflow or run custom code through the misleadingly-named "External Workflow" functionality.
If you just need to enable downstream systems to extract master data that has changed recently, then you can simply filter using the LastChgDateTime column in the subscription views.
