EWM CIF Integration Model master data transfer Issue

Hi Gurus,
I am not able to transfer the master data from ERP to EWM.
When I excecute the transaction CFM1 and CFM2 integration model ,the material is not getting transferred.
I am getting the below mentioned Error message.
"Location does not exist for external location 9997, type 1040, and BSG CSSCMDEV"
Please help me in resolving this issue.
Regards
Govind

Hi,
Thanks for the reply
I had created the location 9997 for the location type 1001earlier.
When I tried to delete the location and create new Location for Location type 1040.System is not allowing me to delete.Please let me know how to delete the existing Location.

CIF - Master Data Transfer from ERP to SCM(SNC)

Hi,
I am very new to SAP SCM.
Can anyone please provide me documentation links , helpful material for the CIF customization in SNC for Master Data Transfer.
e.g If I need to send a predefined value for Business Logical System from ERP to SAP SNC
i.e from ERP 1 to SNC ( Business Logical System ends with suffix 00 )
and from ERP 2 to SNC ( Business Logical System ends with suffix 01 )
Where and how I can make these changes to reflect in my data sending.
How I can achieve this.
Please help.
Best Regards
Sid

Siddharth,
I assume when you say 'SNC' your are referring to Supply Network Collaboration. Here are some Best Practices Building blocks to get you started

CIF Integration Model Enhancement

Guys,
From ECC to APO, I want to send across all materials which are marked as Procurement Type "E" in the material master's MRP 2 view.
But standard CIF Integration model does not support to select materials with Procurement Type (in CFM1 Transaction there is no "Procurement Type" selection.)
Does anybody know how to create the field "Procurement Type" in the integration model, that means how to get an enhanced Integration Model which will contain customised fields.
Thanks
Kumar

It can be done- You can add a new selection option. However I would recommend not to disturb the Original CFM1 Screen.
Instead write a wrapper program which does the simple query and writes the values in the TVARVC Variables.
You can use the TVARVC variable in the CFM1 variant.
So Whenever you run the CFM1 in a batch job
You would have to run the WRAPPER PRogram as the first step and then the second step would be to run the CFM1.
Let me know If you need details of the wrapper program.

Kumar

Issue with CIF Integration model for Transaction data

Hi Gurus,
I have activated the Integration model for PO & PReqs by location wise and i assumed that transaction data is online and we need not to re activate for any new Product / location combination got created in system.
But the issue is that every time a new material got created, we need to deactivate and activate the integration model for Transaction data to get the transaction data into APO.
Is there any way to avoid the following exercise as it is taking very long time for activation.
Please guide me as it is very urgent.
Thanks for help in advance...
Thanks & Regards,
Jagadeesh

I assume 1,60,000 location products are spread around different locations.
Rather than one Integration Model it is better to have multiple Integration Models.
For example: one for each region like North America, one for Europe, one for Asia (assuming you have countries spread across the world). Or create Intgeration Model by Country.
This way you reduce the number of Products in an Integration Model.
It is very important to have manageable set of Integration Models. Let me give an example - you have some problem hence the single Material Master Integration Model is down (inactive). At that time any PP or PDS transfer will not have the Header or COmponent products transferred to APO (in effect PDS/PPM cannot be transferred). If you are creating or converting Planned Orders they will not transfer to R/3 (as Header product is not part of active intgeration model).
But if you have country spefic or region specific Integration Model - only that country is affected not all.
In fact you should have other integration model (like PDS/PPM, Procurement Relationships, Planned / Production Orders, Sales Orders, Stocks) in same manner i.e. either Country(s) specific or group of countries by region. The risk of models getting inactive or taking too much time to activate after regeneration easily outweighs management of more number of Integration Models (compared to one Global integration model per object).
Hope this gives you some direction.

Master data transfer using CIF

Hi all,
I am just clueless. I am trying to transfer master data from ERP to EWM but it ain't happening. It is throwing out this error. System: P6QCLNT800 User: RFC_USER_1 12/11/2010
Function/Q/SAPAPO/CIF_LOC_INBOUND
Text: Internal error in IGS2, US. RFC: Connection Error.
Here P6QCLNT800 is the target system and RFC destination and also the logical system for SCM EWM. User is the RFC user.
All my settings and configs are right atleast as per SAP documentation for integrating EWM as an add on. I tried after disabling geocoders for US using the GEOCODERS report. Still I am getting, I have checked my RFC destination and tested my connection it is working fine in SM59. What should I do to proceed further?
I posted this in SCM LE forum but I guess this post is more suitable here.

85,
This document tells me to create a RFC user with user type System. While I've created with the type communications.
This shouldn't make much difference. When I am debugging a new implementation I will make the USERID dialogue with SAP_ALL until all connectivity problems are resolved, then change the USERID to System (I have never used communications, although I do not doubt that it works) , and take away the excess authorization. From the sound of it, the type of USERID may not be your problem.
A common problem is the case sensitivity of passwords. You usually get some kind of logon error message, though (with standalone SCM anyway). When your userid is 'dialogue', and you execute SM59, and perform a remote logon, this will tell whether logon issues are still a problem. I always set my passwords in the destination to all uppercase, since the CIF seems to capitalize PWs before it sends them across.
does your document fit my case?
Not exactly. Unfortunately, I have never set up EWM as an addon, so I can't speak from experience. The instructions in your doc seem to mostly parallel the standard SCM connectivity docs though, so most of the steps are probably the same.

EWM-ECC CIF Integration model

Hello All,
I want to tansfer data for plant,shipping point,customer and vendor from ERP to EWM.For this I have created Integration model.When I am trying to activate this I could not as I am getting message like'Queue for current initial data transfer is deregistered-Tgt System: APOCLNT800-Deregistered Queue' and hence Inbound queue blocked.
What could be the reason for this message. How to unblock this Inbound queqe?
Thanks,
Shailesh

Hi James,
Thanks. But this error is due to queue 'CFLD* System is not activating integration model and showing error like this'Operation terminated due to error (queue CFLD*, target system APOCLNT800)'
In SMQR I could not find this queue to acivate ,I tried in SMQ1/SMQ2, but I could not find this queue.
Do I need to create this queue? I yes I am unkown T.code for this. Do you have any idea?
Thanks,
Shailesh

More than one CIF integration model possible for material?

Hi Gurus,
we want to have two different integration models (with non-overlapping selections) for materials to be able to have separate selections, but we cannot make it work.
When we create them the first time and then activate them, everything works fine: both models send their products to APO in the initial load. However, if there are changes in products in both models, when we generate and then activate one of the models, the changes in the other one are lost: the generation-activation of the second model does not send any product to APO even if there were any changes in the master data (and we see the ALE pointers as processed in the table)
Is there any workaround to solve this issue in a system without CIF pointers in BDCP2?? The ECC system is below the relevant releases and will not be upgraded in the near future.
We could not find any mention to an existing limitation on the number of models being one neither in OSS notes nor the help pages.
thanks a lot,
Pablo

Pablo,
It is common to have multiple Integration Models for Materials.
I have never heard of transaction BDCP2. I also have never seen the problem you describe.
I usually prefer not to use change pointers at all for Master data, such as Materials. You can alter this behavior in CFC9, and instead use Business Transfer Events. This means that all fields that are relevant for 'change transfer' to SCM will move across almost immediately after saving the changed material master.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm70/helpdata/EN/c8/cece3be9cd4432e10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
Also read the links contained in this page.
If you wish to actually perform a new 'initial load', then run the Integration model through program RIMODINI. It may be a lengthy run.
As always, check first in your Qual system before committing to production.

Error while performing Master Data transfer from SAPR/3- ECC5.0 to SCM4.1

Hi all,
Am getting an error while transfering Master data from SAP R/3 system ECC5.0 to SCM4.1 through Core Interface (CIF).
After creating an Integration model and while activating the same am getting the following error,
" System: SCMCLNT800 User: SMART03 06/17/2006 13:32:14
Function: /SAPAPO/CIF_LOC_INBOUND

SAP SCM Upgrade to 5.0, Material Master Initial Transfer Issue

Dear Folks,
We are doing an upgrade to SCM 5.0 for a client and are facing the issue of material master initial transfer. The changes to exising material like Proc type etc. travel seamlessly but while we try to create a new material in R/3 and transfer it to APO or if we delete an existing product in APO and re-transfer the material from R/3, it simply doesn't happen. We donot get any kind of errors also. We have tried various suggestions and solutions but all have failed. To summarize the activites that we have done to check the issue, please see the track below.
Action                                                              Observation
1. Observed queue blocks on R/3 and APO sides:            No blocks.
2. Important logs on R/3 as well as APO side:                No error logs on CIF observed.
3. Check material master data fields in R/3 relevant and necessary for APO: Done
4. Check the APOKZ flag in MARC Table:                        Done
5. Check OSS relevant notes for the issue:                      Done
6. Check CIFMAT and MATLOC tables in APO:                Done
7. Check the TRFCQIN and TRFCQOUT tables in APO     Done; nothing relevant to CIF observed.
8. Debug CIF and find the issue                                       No breakthrough.
9. Check location and location pre-requisites for CIF         Done
Now we have raised OSS notes to SAP and are awaiting a solution.
I request all Gurus to pitch-in and suggest possible issue here and perhaps a solution too. I am very hopeful that some one might have faced similar issue and have found a solution to the same.
Warm Regards,
Chandra

This required packaging materials to be CIFed first before transferring the other materials. Issue resolved, SAP issues a note on this.

Master data automation issue

Hi ,
I have automated master data which pushes member data from BW infoobject to BPC member sheet. Now i have a requirement to add 300 rows which are constants or fixed members and the constant valuess are available only in first 3 columns ie
ID EVEDESCRIPTION PARENTH1
My issue here is , I have few transformations in transf file which adds a prefix to the company code say for ex :US01 to be added as G_US01 in member sheet. I have constant values at the end of other dimension members and the G_ is shown up in the respective company code column, I wanted to know if we can hardcode in transformation file so that i dont need to manually add these members to master data dimension manually.
I am using IMPORT_IOBJ_MASTER & HIER for loading master data and hierarchy data.
Awaiting your early response. thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sanjeev

Thanks for your response. I think my question confused you.
I did get the prefix members correctly, Apart from the BW info object data i do have few rows of constants which we used to manually add during the file prep process.
Now my question is i have to add few members say 200 rows for the first 3 columns ID , EVEDESCRIPTION and PARENTH1.
for these members i do not want the transformation to be applied. i have maintained these 200 rows in a table and i am calling using a select statement and inserting at the end of the member sheet(after the info object data).
In simple terms i have constants added in the BW info object .
Currently my company code is mentioned in transformation file as below and it works fine for all the members.
HIER_PARENT=*STR(G_)+0COMP_CODE
Fo the last 200 members in the member sheet i dont want to apply this transformation, i want the company code to be left as blank.Please let me know if it is possible.
Regards,
Sanjeev

HR Master Data Transfer to MRS

Hi Experts,
we have recently implemented MRS scheduling for PM orders and we ran three jobs to transfer work center data, capacities and personnel assignment from ECC6 HR (release 604/0020) into MRSS (release 700/0004) . The reports are /MRSS/SGE_PN_MNT , /MRSS/CAG_CG_PLANNING_NODE_MNT and /MRSS/HCM_RPTWFMIF. The data transfer took several days to run manually.
Now our customer wants to run nightly updates to MRS on any work centers/ Personnel records which have changed. Issues are:
u2022 /MRSS/CAG_CG_PLANNING_NODE_MNT short dumps if you execute in background
u2022 if PM users have work orders open when we execute the jobs, the useru2019s transaction can short dump (this can happen even if they are from a plant which is not related to the data being transferred)
How have other MRS users overcome these issues of regular HR master data updates?
Thanks in advance
Sarah

PFAL transaction is used when we want to transfer an object without a change pointer. For sending deltas you should be using RBDMIDOC (TRAN - BD21) and provide the message type . This program will send the delta.
But neither of the programs PFAL or BD21 will help in filtering the future dated record. This filtering should happen in an user exit for outbound IDoc. The user exit need to be coded to exclude a change pointer from processing if the key in CP contains a future dated record and that may get processed. This may get complex as you would like to send part of the changed record and not the other part of changed record. For example if you create a new IT0002 with future date, you would still want the current record which was delimited one day prior to future dated record.
It would be nice to have the target system handle this instead of handling it within SAP.

Master Data transfer from SAP R/3 to SAP GTS

HI,
Master data like customer master is transferred fro R/3 to GTS. Any customer master in R/3 has many fields like company code, sales area, shipping conditions etc.
Shipping conditions and other fields are not defined in GTS. So how come when the customer master which is copied into SAP GTS is not giving any error since certain fields like shipping conditions are not there in GTS. I mean there are certain validation in R/3 for a customer . So how come these validations are being done in SAP GTS ??
regards

Customer/vendor the fields which is passed to GTS from ECC can be found in - (/SAPSLL/MENU_LEGAL - SAP Compliance Management (SPL Screening) - Logistics (Simulation of SPL - Check general address). Here you can see all the details captured for Business Partner in GTS. You can also see the entire field range at (/nbp)
When you transfer a Customer master record to GTS, in GTS an internal BP number is created to map the stated fields based on number range logic etc as per requirement. The BP's are created in GTS as per the partner role in GTS and also can be retrived using partner role. At document level the validations happen w.r.t to partner functions mapped and created as per the feeder system.

Vendor Master Data Transfer Between the Clients

Hello Everyone,
I want to transfer Vendor master data between the clients, can any one help me in this Please?
I don't want to use LSMW, Is there any other method by which i can copy the vendor between the clients or i have to do it manually?
Please Help ASAP
Thanks
M

Hi,
You have to do necessary setting for ALE and IDOC will get generated and data will get transfer based on the Program Schedule in Bacground.
You can schedule program in bacground as per your requirement of IDOC transfer and data generation from One Client to other. [i.e. end of the day, Hourly, monthly etc.]

Non-SAP to SAP Material Master Data Transfer

Hi Experts,
Please indicate any standard tools in SAP and how to use it wherein we can migrate non-SAP material master data to SAP.
Points will be awarded.
Regards,
LM

Hello Leo,
There are a number of options to do this. You can use the standard SAP tool named LSMW - Legacy System Migration Workbench (transaction LSMW) as a starting point.
Also please read this [Documentation|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/0d/414538bc0fe927e10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm] before undertaking the data migration activity via LSMW.
Additionally, there is also a Direct Input program available named RMDATIND - please go through the program documentation before you use it. You can use this program to transfer material master data to SAP but
make sure you assign this program through LSMW for mapping structures etc. The internet link above will give
more details and step-by-step instructions to follow.
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Sougata.
p.s. It is sad to see useful answers remain unrewarded such as this one!

SAP Retail : Article Master Data Transfer using LSMW/ARTMAS05: EAN Error

Hi Bjorn Panter,
I want to thank you for providing very informative articles on the Master Data of ERP Retail.
We are currently loading articles to SAP from legacy and use your articles on ERP Retail as part of our knowledge warehouse.
We have encountered an error which has stumped our conversion.
We are getting an M3 535 error stating that "First specify the main EAN for the unit EA". We are using LSMW (IDOC Method, Basic Type ARTMAS05).
Our MARM segments have generic and variants. The UPC and UPC category (set to UC) are filled for the variants and blank in the segment containing the generic.
Our MEAN segments contain variants only with the UPC and UPC category (set to UC) filled.
Our UC EAN category is configured with a blank check digit algorithm and a number range of 12 digits. We are loading our variants with EANs that are 12 digits.
When debugged IDOC_INPUT_ARTMAS, I noticed that :
In routine MARM_UEBERGEBEN (in function module BAPI_MATERIAL_MAINTAINDATA_RT), this code clears our MARMX indicators :
   LOOP AT UNITSOFMEASURE.
    ART_DATA_EXISTS = 'X'.    "JH/05.01.00/4.6C Entkopplung der MALG
    IF UNITSOFMEASURE-FUNCTION NE C_MSGFN_D.   ->>>> this checks if our function code is 003 (which is a delete).
*     TMFIELDRES aufbauen
      CLEAR UNITSOFMEASUREX.                   ->>>> Since we are doing a create, it clears the indicators in unitsofmeasureX
To bypass this clear, I debugged the program and overlayed the indicators and marked UPC and UPC category as 'X'. This worked and we were able to post our IDOC successfully... THe UPCs showed in the MARM and MEAN tables.
However, knowing that there are a lot of Retail companies loading articles into their SAP system, it would seem odd that no one has reported this as a bug or no one has posted this issue in SDN. I could not find any OSS note related to this issue either.
Can you please help us figure out what is wrong ? Have you encountered this error in the past ? Is there something in config that we should check ? Should we look at fields in our segments ?
Any help from you would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sarah

Dear Sarah,
please open an OSS customer message.
Put in a valid IDOC ARTMAS number with this error and open your system.
I guess either it is a bug in IODC structure or you found a bug in software.
My colleages will take care.
Regards
Björn
