Issue importing item master data. Help!

Hello All,
I;m fairly new to B1, looks like a great product.
Im having some issues importing master data using the data import tool under the administraion module.
I have a list of items, and it will only import the last row. The log error says " Character number is greater than allowed" on all other rows/items.
It's weird because all fields match perfectly, and if I put 1 row/item it uploads perfectly.  Only errorss when I have more than 1 row.
Any help would be wonderful!
Thanks,
-Jon

  • 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......

  • 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"

  • Item Master Data issue

    Hi Experts,
    How to set Manager Inventory by Warehouse status on whole Item Master Data at once?
    Regards,
    Ravi Jha
    Edited by: Ravi_Jha_SDN on Jul 22, 2010 8:52 AM

    Hello Ravi...
    I would strongly urge you to never update any SAP B1 table with the SQL.  For several reasons:
    1.  SAP B1 is a strongly integrated data structure and you might think you are updating the correct field and all will be fine, but there are so many foreign keys in SAP B1 it is unbelievable (you can see this in the bolded names in the Query Generator).  For folks having worked with SAP B1 for some time, they will tell you not all foreign keys are bolded and that can cause a bit of a problem.  If you update a field and it is used somewhere else, the results can be total havoc.
    2.  It is SAP policy (due to the above) that, if an SAP B1 table is updated via SQL, it is almost certain they will not help you in case you have a problem requiring a fix through SAP.  Even if you try to apply the fix yourself and it goes wrong, you will certainly be in dire straits.  Your only recourse is to go back to a previous backup or to do a complete reinstall (and the effort then becomes an enormous manual or Data Transfer Workbench - DTW - effort).
    3.  It is not hard for SAP to determine how you have updated your tables.  I once appeared in court as a forensic expert to settle a dispute between two parties on some changed information in invoicing.  I received some help from some SAP folks I know.  After sitting in the witness stand for 15 minutes and explaining in layman's terms what I was about to do, the defense called a recess and pleaded guilty to the charges.  If I can be that efffective in determining how something was changed, guess how quickly SAP can do it!
    4.  You will at some time come across the need to do a DTW in the normal buisness life of your system.  Learn DTW with small fixes like this "Manage Inventory by Warehouse" so you can get comfortable with it.  As Manish points out, folks here will help you.  I have seen folks being helped over and over again in this and other forums.  I know from personal experience DTW can be a bit difficult, but I am glad I took the time to learn.  Also, I have heard in Version 8.8 it is much better.
    5.  You might be under pressure to get that quick fix and/or update in, but in my experience, once you explain why it is taking a bit longer to the powers that be, the business folks will 99% of the time understand that the best course of action is to take some time and use the SAP DTW or Administration > Data Import/Export function to get fields updated.  (NOTE:  some companies advertise they have an add-on or tool that can update the fields within SAP policy, but be very careful with this and check their claim completely with partners and SAP - this claim is a lot of times not true).
    I do not want to rain on anyone's parade here - it is your choice.  And this is only my own personal opinion, but I just want to make sure you understand what the consequences might be pertaining to your decision.  That is my intention - nothing more and nothing less...

  • Importing pictures into the item master data

    Hello, everyone,
    I want to import pictures into the items master data - does anyone know which size the picture should have?
    The problem is - i just tested it with some pics of 640x480, but the placeholder in the item data must be smaller, so the picture is scaled down and as result of that it doesn't look good (the colors are falsified and there are also some artifacts). If I double-click the picture and it's opened in an own window in its original resolution - everything is fine..but i want a good quality of the picture in the item data already.
    So my first idea was to make pictures of the resolution of that placeholder in SBO, but i don't know how to get this. Any ideas?
    Best Regards,
    Leon Detzel

    Hi Ulrich
    The picture size does not matter, but rather a setting in Administration > System Initialization > General settings > Display TAB. On this tab you will find a setting with a drop down called "Ext. Image Processing". Set this to full and the full quality of any pictures will be used, but of course resized to fit the field. Bear in mind that images are not embedded in the tables but only the file name of the image is stored in the table.
    Kind regards

  • Unable to delete master data line items - Master data object CCHIUSRAM

    Hello
    We have an issue with the Master data Object CCHIUSRAM - CC Hier User Auth Maintenance. It has only master data and no texts no hierarchy. It is not time-dependent. It has /BIC/PCCHIUSRAM, /BIC/SCCHIUSRAM as database table only. This master data is not being used in any infoproviders.
    In development client we are able to delete the line items of the Master data along with entering line items. RSRV check gives green for all checks.
    In Test / Production client we are not able to delete the line items of the Master data. We are only able to enter master data lines and if we change any item then it creates another entry in the table.
    Tried SE14 & RSDMD_DEL_MASTER_DATA - both does not help.
    Did ST05 trace, could not find something concrete.
    If any one has faced such an issue with any master data item then a response is much appreciated. It has become a bottleneck for us.
    Many Thanks in advance
    Pradip Parmar

    Thanks for the response.
    I can do this in EBD, but it is working fine in EBD. I cannot do this activity in EBP / EBT as the systems are closed and I cannot activate directly in EBT / EBP.
    Besides, I have recently transported active versions of the object in EBT / EBP all again twice to see if it changes anything.
    My guess is that, there is something stupid may be I am missing somewhere.
    Any help is much appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Update of Intrastat details against Item Master Data

    Hi I'm looking to import Intrastat details against item master data.  I understnad from the portal that this needs to be imported to UDO but need some guidance in terms of template set up. 
    Grateful for any help
    Regards
    David

    Hi,
    If you have made already the transactions you cannot update the G/L method.
    Secondly if you have set G/L by Item level then you need to define the inventory accounts for all the items in your template then only you will be able to proceed further

  • 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,

  • Item Master Data transfer maunal to backflush

    Hi Experts,
    I am using SAP B1 8.8 PL 13.
    I want to transfer Item Master Data from Manual to Backflush method.
    I have done it before but this time i am bit confuse.
    Plz suggest which Templet to choose and edit and which fields to edit.
    I mean complete process of DTW to import data from .csv to SAP.
    Awaiting of helpful reply.
    Regards,
    Ravi

    I got Item List from SAP Item Master Data so Item Code is correct and exist in B1.
    Actually What happens when i fill Item No. (1122044360) in Templet and save it to close.
    When I open it again Item Code changes in to (1.12E+09) as Excel Sheet nature if character is bigger than cell then it turns into short size like I mentioned above.
    You can check it on your system.
    I think  this is the prb as system can't recognise the specific Code and returing error.
    If there any other reason then suggest what it is?
    Regards,
    Ravi

  • BoObjectType for Item Master Data

    Hi,
    Does anyone know the BoObjectType for the Item Master Data?
    For Sales Orders for example, it's "oOrders"
    but I can't find the BoObjectType for the Item Master Data to access its User Defined Fields.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I think it is oItems ...
