CREMDM or CREMAS ???

Hi,
We are on ECC 6.0,and MDM is 5.5 sp6.We have a custom repository for vendors which we need to send it across to ECC through PI.Could i know which IDOC type we need to use either CREMDM or CREMAS?.Or is there something like custom idoc which we need to use.?
Thanks
Aravind

Aravind,
This link could be useful even though it is speaking of DEBMDM...
/people/kiran.dasari/blog/2008/04/12/mdm-mass-data-integration-with-r3-made-easy
CREMDM is capable of containing multiple IDOC data records. CREMDM actually has 2 Idoc types within it, CREMAS and ADRMAS. At my customer we are using CREMDM going from MDM SP6 to ECC 6.0.
Please let me know if you have questions. Thank you.

IBAN missing in CREMDM & CREMAS

Hi,
I'm trying to send Vendor IBAN (International Bank Account Number) field to ECC V6 via XI using CREMDM IDOC structure but I noticed IBAN segment/field is missing in CREMDM and CREMAS idocs, even though I can enter vendor IBAN via vendor maintenance transaction XK01/XK02. Anyone know how I can add IBAN to the idocs w/ least amount of custom development?
Thanks,
Susan

Hello Susan,
please check the SAP help to IBAN:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/45/c28b18ccc247f3e10000000a114a6b/frameset.htm
I had the same problem in a Masterdata Project more than 2 years ago. I remember that we chose to leave the IBAN Code to be manually generated in each system.
As far as I can remember, the problem was not to extend the CREMAS structure and send the IBAN Code, but to override the system checks by the Idoc processing in the client systems.
The problem is not only of technical nature, I think you shoudn't override the system checks, out of good reasons (audit?). Of this I am not sure.
If you do choose to send IBAN data, please let me know how you did it.
Thanks!

Problem with mass IDoc for Material Master

Hi All,
Can anyone suggest a solution to work with mass IDocs for Material master?
We have DEBMDM and CREMDM as mass capable IDocs for Customer and Vendor. How do we get mass Material Master IDocs from R/3 in a single XML file?
Also the standard Material repository supplied with SAP MDM 5.5 SP3 doesn't have any XSD definition for MATMDM. Can anyone throw some light on this problem?
Regards
Pooja

Hello Pooja:
The standard way to do it is to generate a single file containing multiple idocs (And for the sake of performance, I suggest you stick to this technique).
In the case of material master, everything is straight forward. In the case of customer and vendor master, when data flows from R/3 to MDM no idoc conversion needs to be performed by XI.
However, for the case of customer and vendor master, when data flows from MDM to R/3, XI needs to separate the data in CREMDM to CREMAS and ADRMAS in order for R/3 to be able to process the idocs; as well as separate the data in DEBMDM to DEBMAS and ADRMAS.
The good thing is that you do not need to worry about all this mappings and conversions in XI. The only thing you need to do in XI is to import the standard business content for SAP MDM 5.5 into XI.
Hope this helps.

Jorge.

CREMDM splitted by PI, ADRMAS gets posted, CREMAS in inbound queue

Hi all,
I am on SAP MDM 7.1 SP03, SAP PI and SAP ECC6.
I have gone thorugh all the threads and Guides related to MDM but couldn't find a valid solution for my problem described below. However, I did find some tricks and tweaking which I dont want to use as they are not recommended by SAP.
We syndicated NEW Vendor records being created in MDM using CREMDM with standard Syndication Map. We have Vendors number generated in MDM and the number range being used exists in ECC and is marked as external. Moreover, the number range uses all of 10 digits, so there is no question of Conversion Routines with it. We deployed PI for splitting CREMDM to ADRMAS and CREMAS. We have serialized ADRMAS to go before CREMAS. We have assured that fields common between these two, have "no data" character i.e. "/" in CREMAS with correct data in ADRMAS. And ADDR_GROUP is mapped as "BP".
Now the problem is, ADRMAS gets posted but CREMAS remains in the inbound queue. The queue running but still CREMAS remains there with CODE as "75". This results in non-creation od Vendor master record as CREMAS is not posted.
Can anybody help with this. I really appreciate the support.

Hi R,
The ALE inbound function modules treat each IDoc segment as a current set of data. Missing fields (or fields that have no data) are interpreted as a value deletion. To keep the existing value for a single field, you have to add a no-data sign as field value for NAME_1. This no-data sign is a single slash (/).
Please execute the inbound function module manually in WE19 to test this. If an exception is seen at NAME_1 ,pass a value or '/' and check for successful posting of Idoc.
If this works, modify inputs to CREMAS accordingly.
In addition a good SAP Note 1052964 - MDM: Distribution of Business Partners, Customers, Vendors for your reference.

CREMAS / ADRMAS Outbound Idoc Example

Hi All,
I need to send Vendor Data to SAP PI (This will be a daily Job, not every time vendor's data is change so no change pointers involved). I created a program to select vendors based on some criteria and then called transaction BD14. Everything ok so far but the Analyst told me they want to use CREMDM instead of CREMAS because CREMDM contains address segment that might be a requirement in the future (this is understandable...).
I searched SDN and found out that BD14 does not support CREMDM. I also read that I can extend CREMAS with Address segment. Now I have a couple of questions:
- If I extend the IDOC, I won't be able to use BD14 anymore right? I mean, I'll need to complete the segments myself and then use MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE?
- I also read there are no BD* transactions for CREMDM but there is transaction MDMV. Can I use this transaction to select Logical System as I can do it in BD14?
- I also read about Idoc Serialization. I have Serialization Group (ADRMAS / CREMAS). Can I use it for my purposes?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Ernesto.

Hello,
I just created partner profile for dev. system clients. i.e., client 010 to 020 using BD64 for CREMDM message type.
When I run MDMV t-code it automatically picked up my receiver system at per distribution model setting.
You can also try submit report RMDMIDVE (t-code MDMV) through your custom report.

IDoc Inbound Processing for CREMDM & DEBMDM

Hi experts,
I'd like to gather some feedback from you regarding the topic ERP IDoc Inbound Processing for CREMDM & DEBMDM. As you all know, there's currently no option to directly process CREMDM/DEBMDM IDocs in ERP. Currently you have to use PI for splitting the CREMDM/DEBMDM message into its related ADRMAS and CREMAS/DEBMAS IDocs.
My areas of interest are:
1) How satisfied are you with the current situation? Does the split work? Are there issues or problems in the current message handling? What are the Pro's and Con's from your point of view?
2) What would be the requirements for a CREMDM/DEBMDM handler? What would you expect? Maybe you have implemented something similar on project basis and could post some feedback?
One painpoint I'd see with a CREMDM/DEBMDM inbound is that you'll lose the IDoc Monitoring capabilities. The message split allows a single record tracing in the IDoc Monitor (as there is a 1:1 relation between IDocs and records). This changes for the mass processing. The monitor would display only the status of the IDoc and you'd need some other monitoring capabilities to check the results on record level. What are your thoughts about that? Is the monitoring important? Would the application log be a feasible solution for that challenge?
Additional comments are welcome, of course.
Best regards
Michael
PS: @ Matt, please contact me by mail. thanks.

Hello ,
Here are some other pain areas regarding the message split :
1. Complicated monitoring proess & reprocessing error idocs : We have to monitor ADRMAS & CREMAS or ADRMAS & DEBMAS during inbound processing. Also we could not find any best practices to reprocess error idocs. E.g. If ADRMAS fails & CREMAS succeeds what is the impact . Also the impact if it is reveresed. We know for sure that if CREMAS fails , vendor will not be created / updated. But we could not find specific pointers for ADRMAS failures.
2. It is a tedious process to link CREMAS with corresponding ADRMAS idoc specially when SAP maintains internal number range for vendors.
3 . The process is complicated if you are managing customer or vendor contact information with contact address . We could succesfully implement the integration but it took us a while to reach end-point.
4. Splitting really does not seem to support if ERP maintains internal number range.
5. Another major issue we observed is , if ADRMAS is under process & corresponding DEBMAS or CREMAS is posted , it fails raising the message that Account is locked. Default serialization does work in ERP system . But overlap of few microseconds also cause this error.
Hope this helps !!
Please let me know if you need any other specific details since we have used MDM - ECC integration using PI to its maximum extent .

CREMDM Change pointer query

Hi Experts,
I need to send a idoc for message type CREMDM. My requirement is whenever a OA vendor is changed i need to find the main vendor and trigger the idoc for the main vendor. Whenever I make changes in the vendor they are getting stored in BDCP2 table with message type CREMAS. Since its getting stored with message type CREMAS the changes are not read for message type CREMDM.
Is there any different change pointer approach need to be carrried for this message type CREMDM.
Regards
Sridevi S

hi Sridevi,
Try to make all sort of changes to fields were u want change pointers.
Changes will be recorded in CDHDR from there u will get changes that u have made and also object Class
take that object class and look in tcode SCDO double click on text of respective object class u will get the names of table that will be effected by tahe object class .
If u find u r table there goto BD52 with that object class and make entry.
try it out..
revert for further queries..

Outbound CREMDM

Hi
I'm trying to send Vendor master using CREMDM but I dont know how to push data out of R3 system, it doesnt show up in bd14, there is only CREMAS but I wanna use CREMDM, any idea?
Thanks

Hi Hikmet
Use MDM_CLNT_EXTR.BD14 will give separate IDoc for different vendors and using this we get single IDOc for group of Vendors.
Also follow this link on how to use MDM_CLNT_EXTR.

LSMW: Process code for DEBMDM and CREMDM

Hi Can anyone tell me the process code for DEBMDM and CREMDM? I would like to use the IDOCs for uploading master data information.
If you do not know the function module can you tell me what function module each one calls?
Thanks,

How to pass smtp_addr(email field) to cremas idoc while creation of vendor?

Hi All,
i am creating the vendors by IDOC by using CREMAS basic type CREMAS05.
There is no email field in any of the idoc segments,as i need to pass the email address being mandatory,
i created the Z segment and added the email field into it and then created the z extension and added this zsegment into the extension.
Now how do i and where do i map this field so that email data is also passed while creating the vendor master.
i have debugged the cremas Function Module IDOC_INPUT_CREDITOR and the data is getting passed segment wise,and for customer segement i.e for the zsegment there is a enhancement section where i need to pass this field,but i do not know how do i map this field and with what structure.
Please let me know how do i handel this/or is there in other way to do it.
Thanks.
RJP.

Hi,
the email is part of the address data. It is therefore not belonging to the customer master data. So it is also not part of the DEBMAS idoctype.
To distribute via ALE accurate customer address data, you need to distribute ADRMAS, ADR2MAS, ADR3MAS idoctypes too.
See [note 384462|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/384462] and [note 306275|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/306275]

i am doing a file to idoc scenario in which i am giving the xml file from MDM ,consisting of Vendor Master data and posting the address and the general data into the ADRMAS and CREMAS idocs into the R/3 system.
The problem that i am facing is that the ARMAS is getting posted correctly but the CREMAS is getting posted with the red signal,status 51.It says "Not authorized to change the Vendor Centrally."
Can anyone please tell me what is the reason and the solution for this problem?
Is this a data error or XI error?
Thanks in advance,
Shweta.

Hi Shweta
Status 51, 52 means Posting error
Please check wheteher all the configuration has been done or not

Vendor Master record change using CREMAS & ADRMAS

Hi ,
I have one problem with CREMAS & ADRMAS idocs, i am using one custom program(it is using IDOC) to change/ create the vendor master record ,While i try to change some filed of one particular vendor using the idoc,it delete all other fileds related to the vendor like phone no, street mail id ..etc
Can any one help me to slove this problem.
Advance thanx .
With warm regards.
Elango..

Hi,
   When you are updating vendor information pass the
   existing information that is already present for
   vendorlike street from lFA1 table and fill other
   fields that need to be updated.
   IDOC may be replacing the existing fileds values
   will space as they are not populated in IDOC.

Vendor number for ADRMAS and CREMAS

Dear all
i am creating vendors in SAP using ADRMAS and CREMAS and sending both of them in a serialized manner. For ADRMAS to be linked with CREMAS, we need to provide same vendor number.
i can get the next vendor number using the BAPI_VENDOR_GETINTNUMBER.
I have different mappings for CREMAS and ADRMAS, so each time i get a different internal number for vendors. how do i link my idocs using the same vendor number?
Regards
Monika

Hi,
cremas and adrmas are coming form one source message right ?
a) yes - then you can put the one ID (any) into both and get the genarated number later on on the basis of this ID in the receiver system while posting the idoc
b) no - then they must have a different reference number inside already which you can post to SAP (in any special field - like search filed for example) - and get the correct number in the receiver system while posting idoc

Does Cremas Idoc supoprt Vendor Evaluation

Hello,
My requirement is such that, whenever a Vendor Evaluation i done,
The report ME6F, the same needs to be sent to a Non-SAP system through IDoc or Proxies.
We have PI as the middleware.
so is there any specfic Idoc for vendor Evaluation or does Cremas Idoc have provision for the same.
Or are there any BAPI available that can be used in ABAP Proxies.
Regards,
Abhishek

Hello,
My question is, as you mentioned that CREMAS support Vendor Evaluation.
I am asking which is the segment, which has the relevant fields or vendor evaluation.
