Hi Sangeeta,
I would personally go for a BDC but LSMW should also be possible
If you don't know how to do a BDC just drop me a mail and I send you the details.
Hopefully this one is than solved by the EOD.

Default data for article master -Purchasing/Logistics view

Hello,
What is the difference between below configuration settings:
1. Logistics general --> Basic data retail --> General control, retail master data --> tab Control parameters for article master --> field 'vendor default data'
2. Logistics general --> Business Partner --> Vendor --> controls --> Define account groups --> go to details --> tab default values
Are these settings intended for same purpose ( e.g. copy default data from vendor master to article master) ?
Thanks,
Pat.

Found the answer
Copying of Data from the Vendor Master to Purchasing Data
All changes that you make to the reference data in the vendor master record are copied to the purchasing data in the article master record if the system is configured accordingly in Customizing for Business Partners in Define Account Groups and Field Selection for Vendors.
Copying of Data from the Vendor Master to Logistics Data
The changes are also copied to the site-specific logistics data if the vendor is either the sole vendor or the regular vendor and if the system is configured accordingly in Customizing for Logistics Basic Data: Retail in General Control, Retail Master Data. For more information, see Vendors: Copying Changes to Other Data Records.

Data migration for historical consumption

Hello,
I would like to get information about data migration for historical consumption.
To make forecast, we have to load historical consumptions for each materrial (data in forcasting view / Consumption vals).
Do you know if this is possible with a batch / direct input or we should develop a programm for that ?
Thanks,
PYR
Edited by: Pierre-Yves Ryckwaert on Jul 17, 2008 11:21 AM

I am certain that I can load historical consumption using IDOC menthod for message MATMAS03
However I have never uploaded historical consumption in an extra step after the material master migration, but I guess this should work as well with this IDOC. Just make sure that you do not overwrite other data in material master.

Extraction Object for Article Master

Hi,
Can anybody tell me if there are any standard Extraction Object name available for Article Master Data?
or Should I need to create it?
Pls provide the links related to this...
Cheers,
Yash K

Hi,
As per my understanding you need to use the same MDM_CLNT_EXTR because in this we have to pass the Extraction Object and there you can select the desired object to be extracted whether it is material, article etc.

Data Migration for Open Purchase Order

Hi, All,
Is there anyone know how to Count the volume for Open Purchase Order. What's the normal strategy for the Data Migration and Cut-over stage?
My client want to know how many Open Purchase Order in the legacy system and then determine manual or automatic data migration. If manual, how to do? If automatic, how to do? Because all materials and vendors, plants are different number. How to track? How to find out to match between new and old?
Thank you very much

JC,
Sounds a bit early to be making decisions about the realization phase. It doesn't sound like you have finished the Blueprinting phase yet, much less the testing phase.
Anyhow, in my experience I typically use LSMW (Legacy system migration workbench) to load MM master data (material masters), Inventory (WIP, RM, FG, etc) Purchasing Master data (Vendors, Purchase Info Records, Source Lists, Quota Arrangements), and Purchasing transactional documents (POs, PurReqs, Scheduling Agreements, etc). Depending on the complexity and volume of data, it may be necessary to write custom programs to load the data. You will find this out during your requirements gathering.
It is uncommon but possible to load all of these data manually. I have never run across a client that wants to pay a consultant's hourly rate to sit at a terminal to peck away loading master data, so if the client intends to have his own users enter the data manually, the project manager should make provision that there will be qualified TRAINED client employees available for this data entry. I did help with a portion of a conversion once manually; of Sales Credits, but there were only about 30 SD docs to load. I did this the evening before go-live day, while I was waiting for some of my LSMW projects to complete in the background.
A good opportunity to 'practice' your data loads is right after you have completed your development and customization, and you have gotten the approval from the client to proceed from the pilot build to the full test environment. Once you have moved your workbench and customization into the client's test environment, but before integration testing, you can mass load all, or a substantial portion of your conversion data into the qual system. You can treat it like a dry run for go-live, and fine tune your processes, as well as your LSMW projects.
Yes, it is good practice to generate comparisons between legacy and SAP even if the client doesn't ask for it. For Purchase orders on the SAP side, you could use any of the standard SAP Purchasing reports, such as ME2W, ME2M, ME2C, ME2L, ME2N. If these reports do not meet the requirements of the client, you could write a query to display the loaded data, or have an ABAPer write a custom report.
You didn't ask, but you should also do comparisons of ALL loaded data - including master data.
It sounds like you are implying that the client wants YOU to extract the legacy data. For an SAP consultant, this is not very realistic (unless the legacy system is another SAP system). Most of us do not understand the workings of the myriad legacy systems. The client is usually expected to produce one or more legacy system technical experts for you to liase with. You normally negotiate with the technical expert about every facet of of the data migration. In addition, you will liase with business users, who will help you and the implementation team to logically validate that the final solution (turnkey SAP production system, fully loaded with data) will meet the client's business needs.
Finally, you mentioned how do you track the mapping of master data between legacy and SAP. There are many ways to do this. I normally try to get the legacy person do the conversion on his end, eg, when he gives you the load file, you would like to have already translated the master data and inserted the SAP relevant values into the file. If this is not possible, I usually use MS Access databases to maintain a master map, and I perform the mapping on a PC. If your data package is small, you can probably get by using MS Excel or similar.
Good Luck,

Text Migration for Customer Master ?

Hi all,
I am involved in the migration of the customer master and so have to migrate text sitting on the customer master.
Can somebody please provide me some help on this?
As a start off point I have a SAP Sandbox system from where I can see what all text is being maintained at the customer master level which i should be bringing on to the Production system. What tables can I look into to see all the text maintained for the customer master.
Help will be really appreciated.
We intend to use the standad idoc for migration.
Thanks/Regards

Hi,
Jason is correct that you will need the READ_TEXT function if you want to either spot check some texts (use SE37 and READ_TEXT to view a sample of customers) or if you want to extract the data.
However, if for example during an extract or during an upload you merely wanted to check whether a customer had texts, you can check on table STXH. Each customer text (of one or multiple lines) will have one header record in table STXH. STXH does not allow you to see the data as Jason pointed out, but it does show whether it exists or not.
An easy way when dealing with long texts to fnd out the object, id and name of any text is to go into the text record intself in the display transaction (eg, XD03 for customer master) and in the menu path click Goto>Header. That will give you the header information for the text and allow you to see what you need to code into your ABAP program or LSMW.

RollOut: Data migration phase - material master

Dear all,
we are going to implement the SAP in one of our subsidiaries. The phase data migration of the material master is not that clear because I am not very experienced in such a project.
Can anybody consult me concerning my intentions?
I would like to subdivide the prozess data migration in the following separate steps:
1. Analysis of the structure and the material master fields of the legacy system
First I would require an example structure of the legacy system to get a first overview. This structure should be an excel sheet. Then I would discuss this structure with the staff of our subsidiary.
2. Structure of our SAP system
The structure of the SAP and all the necessary fields of the material master will be discussed with the staff of the subsidiary.
3. Comparing of both structures
Compare both structures and define which fields are missing and which fields have to be added
4. Preparation of the migration tool (LSMW)
I would be very grateful to get a reply or critic are recommendations.
Did I forget anything?
Thank you very much
Conan

I think you basically got what needs to be done.
I usually let the module teams deliver the SAP fields that are necessary for their process.
For the source data I contact the team that deals with the legacy system.
Then we map fields and find the source fields that have to target, as well as mandatory target fields that have no source data.
And I request this usually per material type, as each material type may have different requirements.
Start with the process as early as possible, best with project begin already.
I am currently doing a huge migration project (merging of several SAP systems) , started last December, and I still miss a lot of mappings.
I made the exerience that I get mapping for the well kown entries of a field, however, there are many records that have different values, maybe values that should not be used anymore in the legacy system, but old records never go adjusted, hence I have them as error when loading.

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.
Please check this for more details

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.
