FM to copy material master data

Hi there
I am looking for an FM where i can copy existing material master data to a new one. In my case the material is a material variant and therefore i also want to copy the characteritic values of this variant. While copying i want to change some of the characeristic values of my oroginal material master, so that the only difference to the new material variant are characteritic values. All other date (sales, plant and so on) can be the same
Regards
Markus

  • Copy Material Master data - cannot copy "Proportion/Prod.Unit" view

    Hello,
    When I try to create material master data using the "Copy from..." option, data from the "Proportion/Prod.Unit" view is not copied to the new material. We are using SAP for Mill products.
    Any clues?
    Regards,
    Joao

    Hello Joao,
    There are two things, which have to be done :
    The first thing of course is, that for the field MARA-KZWSM the field    
    "Propose Field Content from the Reference" must be set in transaction    
    OMSR.                                                                               
    The second is, that the user have to enter this screen, because if he    
    don't display this screen, then it is technically not possible to        
    copy the reference values.                                               
    (To copy this data from the reference material you have to go to the     
    subscreen SAPLMWSM 8030 and press enter).

  • Sales order does not extract plant information from material master data

    Hi experts,
    I have created a sales order. However, the plant in the shipping tab can only be manually entered.
    I have made the check:
    the customer material master data does not have the plant info.
    the customer master data does not have it either.
    It is defined in the material master data: sales:general/plant
    But the sales order did not extract this information. Why does this happen?
    Thank you in advance.
    Best regards,
    Fan

    Hello Friend,
    As right stated by you,
    The Plant will be copied from the master data to the sales order, if not it should be manually entered
    The Sequence System will search for the Plant is as follow..
    1. Customer material infor record, If it was not maintained then it will search in
    2. Customer master, if the entre was not maintained in the SHIPPING TAB
    3. Finally it will search in the Material master in the Sales organisation data 1 in the field DELVERING PLANT field.
    So please search whether the entry was maintained in that field at the sales:sales organisation data 1.
    This might be the issue.
    Please revert if you want further details

  • Program to update info record with material master data

    I am trying to determine if there is a standard SAP program that can be run as a batch file  to update the fields in the info record with the same fields that are in the material master?  ie:  Planned delivery time, Tolerance, purchasing group etc.

    Hi,
    There is no standard report or transaction that can do this.
    The data from these fields in the material master is brought in as a default to the info record when it is created. beyond this point the Info record is treated as being the correct data regardless of what happens to the material master data and so no updates occur in the standard system.
    It would not be difficult to build an LSMW job to copy the data from the material master to the info records and this would be the recommendation if you want to do this.

  • Material Master Data load failed

    Hi All,
    I am loading material master data. I have around 8055 records in R/3. The load has failed with an error "Non-updated Idocs found in Business Information Warehouse" and asking me to process the IDocs manually. I have checked in WE05 for the IDocs and found 3 Idocs with status 64(IDoc ready to be transferred to application).
    But when I checked in the manage screen of the 0MATERIAL I could find the Transfered and Updated records as 8055. I have even checked the data in 0MATERIAL and found that all the data(8055 records) has already been uploaded.
    Why is it still showing an error(load failed) even when all the data has been uploaded? What should I do now?
    Best Regards,
    Nene.

    hi Nene/Sankar,
    for material text no language please check Note 546346 - Material texts: no selection on languages
    and for why idocs problem, check e.g Note 561880 - Requests hang because IDocs are not processed, Note 555229 - IDocs hang in status 64 for tRFC with immediate processing.
    hope this helps.
    Note 546346 - Material texts: no selection on languages
    Summary
    Symptom
    When loading material texts from R/3 into the Business Information Warehouse, you cannot select languages.
    Other terms
    DataSource, 0MATERIAL_TEXT, InfoSource, InfoObject, 0MATERIAL, SPRAS, LANGU, 0LANGU, MAT_BW, extraction, selection field, delta extraction, ALE, delta, change pointer
    Reason and Prerequisites
    As of PI/PI-A 2001_2 Support Package 6, the selection option for the 'SPRAS' field in the OLTP system was undone in the 0MATERIAL_TEXT DataSource. (Refer here to note 505952).
    Solution
    As of PI/PI-A 2002_1 Support Package 4, the 'SPRAS' field is provided for selection again with the 0MATERIAL_TEXT DataSource in the OLTP system. When loading the material texts from BW, the language is still not provided for selection in the scheduler, instead all languages of the language vector in BW are implicitly requested from the source system. However, during the delta update in the source system, the change pointers for all languages in the source system are now set to processed, regardless of whether the language was requested by BW or not.
    Import
    Support Package 4 for PI/PI-A 2002_1_31I - PI/PI-A 2002_1_45B
    Support Package 4 for PI 2002_1_46B - PI 2002_1_46C
    Support Package 3 for PI 2002_1_470
    In transaction RSA5, copy the D version of the 0MATERIAL_TEXT DataSource to the A version.
    Then replicate the DataSources for 0MATERIAL in the BW system. The 'SPRAS' field is then flagged again as a selection field in the transfer structure of the 0MATERIAL InfoSource. The transfer rules remain unchanged. Activate the transfer rules and perform a delta initialization again.
    Note 561880 - Requests hang because IDocs are not processed
    Symptom
    Data extraction in a BW or SEM BW system from an external OLTP System (such as R/3) or an internal (via DataMart) OLTP System hangs with the 'Yellow' status in the load monitor.
    After a timeout, the request status finally switches to 'Red'.
    Information IDocs with the status '64' are displayed in the 'Detail' tab.
    Other terms
    IDoc, tRFC, ALE, status 64
    Reason and Prerequisites
    Status information on load requests is transferred in the form of IDocs.
    IDocs are processed in the BW ALE model using tRFC in online work processes (DIA).
    IDoc types for BW (RSINFO, RSRQST, RSSEND) are processed immediately.
    If no free online work process is available, the IDocs remain and must then be restarted to transfer the request information.With the conversion to asynchronous processing, it can often happen that no DIA is available for tRFC for a short period of time (see note 535172).
    The IDoc status 64 can be caused by other factors such as a rollback in the application updating the IDocs. See the relevant notes.
    Furthermore, you can also display these IDocs after the solution mentioned below, however, this is only intended as information.
    You must therefore analyze the status text.
    Solution
    We recommend asynchronous processing for Business Warehouse.
    To do this, you need the corrections from note 535172 as well as note 555229 or the relevant Support Packages.
    The "BATCHJOB" entry in the TEDEF table mentioned in note 555229 is generated automatically in the BW system when you import Support Package 08 for BW 3.0B (Support Package 2 for 3.1 Content).For other releases and Support Package levels, you must manually implement the entry via transaction SE16.
    Depending on the Basis Support Package imported, you may also have to implement the source code corrections from note 555229.
    The following basic recommendations apply in avoiding bottlenecks in the dialog processing and checking of IDocs for BW:
    1. Make sure there is always sufficient DIA, that is, at least 1 DIA more than all other work processes altogether, for example, 8 DIA for a total of 15 work processes (see also note 74141).
       TIP: 2 UPD process are sufficient in BW, BW does not need any UP2.
    2. Unprocessed Info IDocs should be processed manually within the request in BW;in the 'Detail' tab, you can start each IDoc again by selecting 'Update manually' (right mouse button).
    3. Use BD87 to check the system daily (or whenever a problem arises) for IDocs that have not yet been processed and reactivate if necessary.
    However, make sure beforehand that these IDocs can actually be assigned to the current status of requests.
       TIP: Also check transaction SM58 for problematic tRFC entries.
    IMPORTANT: Notes 535172, 555229 and the above recommendations are relevant (unless otherwise specified) both for BW and for SAP source systems.

  • Extend material master data from one plant to another plant

    hi,
    how can i extend material master data from one plant to another plant.
    is there any sap standard transaction for this ie. bdc/t-code.
    thanks in advance.......
    rahul

    Hi
    If you want to extend the material form one plant to another then below are the possible options.
    1) MM01 - Use the material in the reference and fill in copy from and to then press enter to complete the extention.This is recommended only if you want to extend very less records.
    2) Use LSMW and record MM01 thru BDC recording available in LSMW and make the template in excel and convert it to .txt tab delimited format to upload more records.LSMW is the perfect tool and is used extensively in all the projects.
    3) Get the help from ABAPer to create upload program and include the BDC recording.
    There is no standard T code available in SAP becoz data mainatenance in the material master will be based on the industry.
    Hope it will help.
    Thanks/Karthik

  • Material master data complete in bi - infoset or multiprovider

    Hi all.
    for one of the reporting requirement of my client i need to extract the complete material master data in BI - from MARA, MARC, MARD, MSTLB tabls.
    which i have done and stored in the infoobjects - 0MATERIAL, 0MAT_ST_LOC, 0MAT_PLANT, 0MAT_SALES.
    now user want to see all the information against each material in 1 single line the multiple lines will only come in when there is plant.
    which approach i shoul go for this scenario.
    infoset or multiprovider.
    i created infoset by using inner join but then i see only common materials, left outer join is giving me problems.like -
    Invalid or missing ON condition for left outer join (0MAT_PLANT)
    Invalid or missing ON condition for left outer join (0MAT_ST_LOC)
    Invalid ON condition for left outer join (0MATERIAL)
    kindly give your suggesstions on this.
    thanks
    dipika

    Hello,
    There are restrictions regarding left outer join in infoset:
    If a left outer join is used, the following restriction applies to the right table (right operand):
    ·        Only join conditions with exactly one other table can be defined and
    ·        This table in turn cannot be a right table (right operand) of a left outer join.                                       
    Tables connected with left outer joins always form the end of a chain of tables. In this way, as many tables as you want can be linked in an InfoSet with a left outer join to a core of tables that are connected using inner joins.                                                
    The restrictions on the definition of left outer joins are due to the technical limitations of databases. These restrictions do not apply to inner joins.

  • Can we recieve goods for purchase order with out material master data in PO

    I have service PR for doing the services. I will  give the material which is not accounted ( no material in the PO)and raise PO with reference to production order. but once the service is done,that product will become a  material ( master data available) I have to receive the  final product.Can we do the GR for this product. If so ,could you please explain the scenario

    Hi Sankarkumar
    When you are issuing the material for servicing your existing inventory for the material  will be affected how you are plannignto handle that? You are receiving a different material once the serviceing is done then again yoour inventory will be affected for the new material.  If you do not intend to issue material in SAP then why are you worried when you are bringing the new material into SAP after servicing is over?  It is a subcontract scenario in a normal situation. But since you do not want then you can do a Service PO from the reqn and later use receipt without PO for bringing material in. Just speak to your finance guys how to set right the debit/credit amount resulted due to this transaction.

  • ALE:Material Master Data Distribution

    Hi
    I am new to ALE Material Master Data Distribution and if the questions are incorrectly worded, please accept my apologies. It is due to lack of knowledge.
    I am doing Material Master Data distribution and I am using standard basic type MATMAS03. The standard TCode MM01, MM02 has SAP tables and 3 custom tables.
    I have turned the active on using BD61 and change pointers to message type.
    Q: Is the change pointer, applicable to entire material master? i.e. if I change a field in Z table or standard material tables, can an IDOC be created for the entire material record?
    Q: What is the function of BD52? Does this override the option Activate Change pointers for message type? Does it mean, if the changes are made to those fields in BD52 a change pointer is created?
    Q: If I change Z table only, will there be a change pointer created? If not, how could I accomplish this using BD52.
    Q When do we use the enhancement MGV00001?
    Also, If you could add anything in addition to above queries, it will be helpful to me and I appreciate it.
    With regards,
    William

    Thank you Sudhakar.
    Your tips are good, but, I was not able to get the problem resolved.
    Let me explain what I have done based on your tips.
    1.  MATMAS uses MATMAS03. The basic type has NOT been modified to have z fields yet.
    2.  Using BD52, i have created the following fields
         MATERIAL    ZEMM_MARA_TECH   IM_ADVISORY_CODE
         MATERIAL    ZEMM_MARA_TECH   KEY.
    3.  Modified the MMR for IM_ADVISORY_CODE.
    I did not see a change pointer for this change.
    Q:  When I created above entry using BD52, was asking the table name. The table name is stored in TCD0B. What TCode is available the entries in TCDOB. For the time being, i created using SQL.
    Q. Is there a follow up configuration required to capture the changes?
    I will award the points in a couple of days time, even if I do not get the solution, because you have spent your precious time for the community. I will wait for a couple of days for other suggestions and close the Problem.

  • MM - Material master data - move standard field to another view

    Hi everyone,
    ÉCC 6.0 - release 7.0.
    I've been adding many custom fields in Material master data MM01/02/03. Now I got a problem because we have to use a standard field in another view.
    The field MARA-HERKL is set up to 'SV'(attribute V_130F-PSTAT):
    Warehouse management = S
    Sales = V
    I want to add 'K - Basic data' in this field's attribute at OSMR Tcode , but this attribute is disactivated. I can not change this value.
    I've check this note 306966 that mention: You cannot create new entries and delete entries in client 000. This client contains only the entries delivered by SAP which are used for distinguishing customer-specific fields and SAP standard during the maintenance of the other clients.
    Is there any problem whether I delete this field and afterwards create it with the new values?
    I'm not in client 000. So, I want to just make sure I will do a legal change.
    thank you in advance,
    Alexandre

  • Material master data and Asset

    Hello Guys
    Considering the every material master data that I am buying will end up been an Asset in my company.
    I would like to know how can I alredy related the material master data that I am creating with a possible hierarchy to make it esier at the time of creating the asset?
    Some one could briefly explain to me how can I related the material master data and a creation of an asset in SAP?
    thanks

    Hi guys
    Jignesh Thakkar
    That was really good answer you gave it is according with the Help instruction that I read, but the main point for me is that I will not know the asset description or capitalized date or serial number,  location, etcu2026 until I goods receipt the individual material creating serial nods and the equipment master data.
    In this scenario from the equipment master data is there any way to create an Asset master data, create the asset master data with the information of the GR equipment master Data or populate the Asset AS01 with the equipment master data?
    Otherwise I will need manually create the Asset and manually synchronize the equipment with the asset?
    Thanks Guys it have been incredibly helpful this network I hope I can help some one in future as it have been helpful for me at the moment.
