Export article master data to DTW standard

Hello,
I want to export my article master data (and other documents) and import it via the DTW into a new database (maybe i want to adjust something in excel). So I need a query that exports the data to DTW standards. For example: Some fields need to be filled in like: tNO / tYES instead off simple YES / NO.
My question now is:
Are there any sql query's that transform the fields in DTW standard, or knows anyone some kind of workaround?
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Jerrel Brouwer

Write your query so that your column name matches what the DTW needs. As you say, sometimes you need to change the data, so use CASE.
Example:
SELECT
Field_1 AS 'CardCode',
CASE WHEN Field_2 = 'Y' THEN 'tYES' ELSE 'tNO' END AS 'YesNoField'
FROM...

Need to export customer master data in a batch input file

Hello all,
I'm searching for a solution to export customer master data out of a R/3 system (Release 470).
The challenge is that the file must have the same structure like the file for batch input of customer master data (import file of the program RFBIDE00).
So, has anybody an idea, if there is a standard tool to get such a file? Or has anybody developed a report creating this structure by his own?
Thanks for your help,
kind regards,
Dietmar

Hi,
I have also come across the same problem as above. There is a standard program RFBIDET0 which has to be customized to get the file which can be uploaded to RFBIDE00. Do anybody come across this kind of problem before and have a program already. It will be of great help, if you can forward the program or guide.

LSMW change article master data

Dear All,
As I am new in Retail, i need to know detail steps how to perform LSWM (IDOC method) to change material master (MM42)
providing that needed fields are article code - vendor - purchase organization .. and the field to be changed is tax code located in purchasing view.
Or there is another method to mass change for these materials.
Appreciating your quick response,
Thanks..

You have multiple options of how to create an LSMW project to maintain Article Master data within SAP.
You can use the IDOC method using message type ARTMAS Basic Type ARTMAS05, you can use standard input or direct input with object 020 Article Master Method 0000 - program RMDATIND and even BAPI with BUS1001001 Retail article
What you will need to do is work through each of the process steps within after defining the object attributes which include defining the source structure and fields (i.e. you flag file structure) and mapping the source structure fields to the target structure (I.E. IDoc fields) and then specifying the location of the flat file.
If you need more specific details you might want to check out SAP - Press.com website and search for the book Migrating Your SAP Data.
http://www.sap-press.com/products/Migrating-Your-SAP-Data-%282nd-Edition%29.html
there are websites that have some high level details but each project is unique you might not be able to get the exact layout of what you need but they can provide you with some starting places.

Insert article picture in article master data

Hi,
I need to insert article picture in article master data, can anybody suggest me how can i do that. In article master data Basic data tab page i am unable to see the screen data view. Is there any possible way to view the article picture by placing the cursor in the article number.
Thank you
Kumar

no no thats not true.
But at the moment the screens sequence fashion assigned to article type FASH has this subscreen activated.
For standard Retail users with screen sequence 23, the admin or consultant has to put the new screen on the basic data view.
The logic works for retail only, but if you follow the instruction for customer own subscreen (see note) you can copy the retail screen, adjust some standard PBO PAI modules and ready to go.
But remark, you will loos support if you use Retail functionality in MM systems.

It's not possible upgrade master data via DTW in SBO 2007.

Hi to everybody,
I was trying to upgrade de BP master data via DTW, but its not possible. I cheched the chechbox "Update" but I got an error saying "This entry already exists in the following tables (ODBC - 2035)".
The change I try to do is in the address contact.
Thanks.
Daniel
Edited by: Philip Eller on Jun 20, 2008 10:32 AM

Hi Daniel Rivas,
Regarding this issue, please kindly check the following
-> Whether there are duplicated records in the import file. If there are two rows for the same name, please remove one of them and this file can then be imported successfully.
-> LineNum should be filled correctly. It should be sequential number which begins from the quantity of existing contact persons. For example if there are 10 contact persons for a specific BP, and you want to add another 10 new contact persons, the LineNumber should start from 10 to 19.
-> In DTW Wizard step 3, select the checkbox 'Add all Items into Schema if can't find corresponding item when updating' under Target Data tab. You can refer to Note 789315 for information on the functionality of this checkbox.
Hope this helps.

Article Master Data Extraction from IS-Retail System

Hi,
I have one IS-Retail System with me. I want to extract Article Master data from IS-Retail System.
Is there any specific procedure to do this? If yes, can anybody tell me the procedure?
Waiting for your response...
Cheers,
Yash K

Hi Yash,
you can use transaction BD10 to extract articles. Note that you should change to message type "ARTMAS" instead of "MATMAS".

Export materials master data using LSMW?

Hello gurus,
is it possible to export material master data using LSMW? Or are there other ways to do this (apart from manually selecting the desired data from the DB tables?)
It would be great if anyone could point me to some documentation on this.
We would like to export the master data from one SAP system and import it in another one.
Thanks in advance
Alicia

What I usually do is transferring the data via ALE (BD10) as IDOC to a file (instead of a different system). This file can even be located in an shared folder that can be accessed from both SAP systems
Then I use LSMW in target system, map IDOC to IDOC (almost done automatically) and import the data from this file, and beeing able to exchange field values if necessary.

Asking for help about modification to article master data of retail system

Deal All,
Is there any one can tell me how to modify the article master data in retail system ?
I have tried to deal with the requirement by BDC and calling the function BAPI_MATERIAL_MAINTAINDATA_RT,
but both of the two approaches can not update the customized fields in the table MAW1.
For BDC, the changed data can only be update in debug mode.
For the function, no customized fields of table MAW1 are taken into account as to its parameters.
Can anyone tell how I should do ?
Thanks in advance,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
Try FM: MATERIAL_UPDATE_ALL_RETAIL
Thanks,

I'm trying to update groups in properties, related to BP's in BP Master Data.
I'm using the template oBusinessPartners/BusinessPartners.txt with fields:
RecordKey, CardCode, Property8 (that is the one I want to update).
I populated Property8 with Y but DTW gives me back following error:

Is it a type of field problem?

To update a property via DTW the value you need to enter in the spreadsheet is tYES or tNO.

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.

Björn
