Delete item master data

Hi all
I have a db with almost 1000 items master data with no movement. I want to remove them to import a new list of items master data, but it's very difficult to do it one by one.
How can I remove them all at once?
Thank you
Irina

actually there is no option in the application to do so.
there is one option i can think of and for this you will have to write a simple DI add-on that takes the item code from the list (assuming you have the list of items you want to remove, you can get it with a simple SQL query) and remove them in a loop
if you need the query to find the items with out transactions let me know
good luck

Item Master Data Best Practice

hello all
we are now using SBO for more than a year, and yet we still always add new items in our item master data. what is the best practice on maintaining the item master data. for you to understand this is the scenario. since in the Factory/Mill there are a lot of spare parts and equipments there, if some of this equipments is damage, we have to buy a new one, here the problem occur because if it only differ in Part Numbers we use another item code for it. with this practice, at later part we found out that we have more than 1 item code for only one item because of the naming convention. so we have to hold the other item code and use the other one coz we cant delete it anymore. sometimes 1 itemcode occurrs only once in the in the item history.
please suggest what is the best Practice on this matter.
1. Item Grouping
2. Naming Convention
etc..
NOTE:
our goal is minimize adding of items in item master data.

FIDEL,
From what I understand, you have to replace broken / damaged component of an item like Bulldozer, Payloader and mill turbines. This is the reason why you defined the parts as a new item.
From your Item code examples, I am not clear why you have 2 different names for the same item. and also what you mean by "this two item codes are actually the same,
If you are just buying parts to replace components and if you do not need to track them then I would suggest you create generic itemcodes in the Item master and simply change the description when you buy / sell them.
Example: Same Item different description.
REPL101 OIL FILTER
REPL101 FUEL FILTER
REPL101 xxxxx
This way you are not going to keep creating items in the database and also you can see the description and know what it was.
Simply change the ItemName in the marketing document and instead of pressing Tab to move to the next column Press CTRL+Tab so that SAP does not auto check then ewly typed name against the item master.
Let me know if your scnenario is otherwise

How to erase the definition of a standard warehouse within item master data

Dear Community,
I got a short question. We want to use the user definition in order to pick the right warehouse when we create a purchase or any other kind of document.
Right now the customer defined the standard warehouse within the item master data.
In order to use the definition stored within the user data it seems as if we have to delete the standard-entry within the item master data.
So far I could not find a possibility to erase that.
Can you help me with that problem??
Cheers, daniel

If you have nos of records.then make CSV file for DTW and update all item warehouse in item master.
if you get any issue form will help you .
i have done same many times .
manually:-
Add another warehouse in master make default it then delete it so you can remove default option in master.
Manually,
Make a FMS whenever user select item(On every transaction Docuement) then warehouse field become blank and blank warehouse we cant add the document so here user select warehouse which he want.
Thanks

Remove Item Master Data

I want to delete bulk of unused item master data from SBO.Please suggest the method as its become very hectic to delete item one by one from Item master data form.

First Download the B1TCH application. After unzipping. Run B1TCH.exe, enter the Server name, userid and password and Refresh Icon next to company dropdown list.
On the page link I send you can see the following tips. You could build a query which picks all Items in the OITM table which do not exist in any of these OINM, OPOR and ORDR tables.
You can save this list as a txt or dynamically pass the query. Rest is explained below.
Deleting stuff
The following examples focus on deleting items from the database. This is something you cannot do with the DTW.
To delete a single item with ItemCode 'DEMOITEM1' from the database, just type:
remove(ITEM,'DEMOITEM1')
...you may also build the list of items by defining a list such as this:for itemcode in['A123','B124','C125']: remove(ITEM,itemcode)
The above samples are nice for testing, but in a real world scenario you might perhaps want to read the itemcodes from a textfile with one itemcode per line:
for itemcode in open("c:
itemstodelete.txt"): remove(ITEM, itemcode)
...OR you might wish to use a resultset from a query as a source for the item codes:
rs=query("select itemcode from oitm where qrygroup64='Y'")for itemcode in browse(rs): remove(ITEM, itemcode)
Function calls can be nested for a more compact expression:
for itemcode in browse(query("select itemcode from oitm where qrygroup64='Y'")): remove(ITEM, itemcode)

Item master data table

Hi All ,
I have to update item code .so i want to know how can i update this . and i want to know if it is better to delete item data through SQL Back end .and what tables are linked to item master data table .
Thanks In advance
Areeba Ali

Hi,
you can delete the item code using SQL statement thorugh backend using this sql query e.g. item code is B747400:
delete from dbo.oitm where itemcode = 'B747400'
if you delete it, the db will not consistent and no more support from SAP AG except you create new db and taken the opbal for the db.
The warehouse journal, all created documents and history tables will not consistent anymore after the deletion.
to prove it, you may check using this code:
select itemcode,dscription from oinm where itemcode not in (select itemcode from oitm)
select itemcode from oitw where itemcode not in (select itemcode from oitm)
select itemcode from itm1 where itemcode not in (select itemcode from oitm)
select itemcode from itw1 where itemcode not in (select itemcode from oitm)
All of the tables involve in the above queries will be affected. If the item never have any transactions, you can delete it directly using this step:
1. search the item
2. if the item is available then right click --> select remove

Deletion of master data for 0CS_ORDER

Hello Friends,
I have a requirement to enhance an IOBJ 0CS_ORDER with Order status values(2 new statues are added). I have done the enhancement part to the extractor in the source system side. Now after replication in BW, to add 2 new IOBJs in CS_ORDER, I need to delete the master data.
When I try to do this, I get the msg that some master data could not be deleted.
This is fine as we have transaction data loaded for large no. of objects which has 0CS_ORDER.
In dev, I have deleted the master data using SE14 for tables P, S , X, T.
My concern is in Production, I have huge volume of transaction data. To transport the changes, I need to delete master data. But this would require deletion of Transaction data from all IP where CS_ORDER is used.
If I do so using SE14, and tranport the changes and later load MD to CS_ORDER. Will this cause INCONSISTENCIES?
What can be other possible ways??
Please share your opinions.
Many Thanks,
VA
Edited by: Vishwa Anand on Sep 2, 2010 5:36 PM

Definitely Yes.
It will damage all the SID connections earlier which this master data had with the other objects likes transactiona objects (ODS, CUBES etc). Even You can not access the data from the cube or ODS where the navigational attributes are flagged for reading.
So do not use SE14 for deletion of MD. This is very specific to use.
You can delete the Master data as long as its not been used in other targets so that you can refill it easily and also there wont be any inconsistencies..
Hope this is clear for you..

Deletion of master data with / without SID

Hi Experts,
Client have requested for master data clean up.
Requirement:
"Several masterdata tables in Production system contain wrong entries. These entries should be cleaned up. The attached Excel contains the keys of the entries to be deleted"
Steps to be taken:
1. emptied/deleted content of all the cube.
2. delete data from master data
Help required:
What will be impact of deleting master data with SID when DSO data is not deleted.
What if i choose without SID option for deletiing master data
Regards
Suresh Kumar

Hi Suresh,
Deleting master data is one critical job and ned to be very care ful.
First try to find out the where used list of that particular IO. delete data from all the CUBEs and DSOs. i don't think without deleting the transaction data from all the objects that you see from where used list, you will be able to delete the maste data.
System doesn't allow you, it will say "Not all selected data is deleted" Some message of this sort when you try deleting the master data.
If you are deleting the TD and master data, why do you need the SID to be spared, delete them too. next time you load the correct master data. the SIDs are again generated.
Go thru the below thread, this gives you lot if info on MD deletion.

END
end
-- Select the return values
select @error, @error_message
end

Hi Rathna,
Just put the SP like this, without the -- before the IF. A -- marks the line as a command therefore you need to uncomment and it will work.
IF @OBJECT_TYPE = '59' AND (@TRANSACTION_TYPE = 'A' or @TRANSACTION_TYPE = 'U')
BEGIN
   IF EXISTS(
    SELECT T0.Price FROM IGN1 T0
    where IsNull(T0.Price, '0') = '0' and T0.DocEntry = @list_of_cols_val_tab_del)
   BEGIN
    SELECT @ERROR=1,@ERROR_MESSAGE='Please insert the price !'
END
end
Hope it helps

Error while importing Item MAster Data using DTW

Hi,
when we are importing item master data using items template
it is giving error.
Error:":connected value 1 was not found "
can any one send the oitems template that is working fine wthout any error.
Thanks,
Neetu

You cannot import data prepration templates>>Testcase1_Test Data for Import function>Oitems directly.
You will have to do certain prerequisites like setting CommissionGroup, CommissionPercent, CommissionSum,CustomsGroupCode etc., in SAP before importing Items.
So I would like you to try out with minimum fields in the template and import. After understanding, you can import the required fields.
I suggest you to use the template from "C:\Program Files\SAP\Data Transfer Workbench\Templates\Templates\oItems"

Error while importing Item Master data through DTW

Hello Expert,
I trying to import item master data through DTW but it gives an error while importing as shown in attach file..
Please help me...
I am using SAP 9.0 Pl 6
Regards,
Sandy

Hi Sandy,
Kindly follow the check list
1. Right Click DTW and run it as Administrator.
2. Is your DTW version is same as SAP B1.
3. Uninstall and re-install DTW.
4. If you are using 64-bit DTW, try to use 32-bit one.
5. Check the Template, is it of the same DTW version.
6. Remove all the unnecessary columns.
7. Last try different Template extension.. (e.g: CSV (Comma delimited), or Text (Tab delimited))
Hope you find this helpful......

Unit Price in Item Master Data

Step no.1) At time of Defining Item Master Data we are Defining Unit Price say<b> 2,000</b> <b>INR.</b> Data Saved in Price List 01.
Now with this information I am Preparing Purchase Order.After Selecting Specific Item unit price is reflecting in P.O by default, Then I modified Unit price from 2000 INR to 2500 INR in P.O.
Step no 2) I received material by Goods Receipt PO
Step no 3) When I am posting A/P Invoice based on GoodsReceipt PO in invoice the original Master Data Unit price is Reflecting.
Now vice versa I made another Transaction also in Another System.
In Step no 3 it is reflecting the Unit Price of Purchase Order.
Can I know why it gives different Information for same type of Transaction. Does I followed wrong System.
Regards
Narender

Please confirm the following.
Once you select a Price in PO it should carry all the way through at the AP Invoice and should not change unless changed manually.
Are you copying the PO > Goods Receipt PO > AP Invoice
And when copying to Goods Receipt PO or Invoice you are not changing the price or Pricelist
Pls let me know

I checked the default layout and found out all the column source type is "free text" and the content is #Item, how do I know the value of the UDF?
Thanks

Hi,
Some of the standard reports are hardcoded in sap. Not possible to add UDF field in PLD.
