Issue in transporting changed material type using ALE-IDOC

Hi All,
I am sending the material master data from one system to another using ALE-IDOC.The issue is that teh material type is not getting sent from one system to another after changing the material type.I mean the changes in material type are not getting updated.I will be indeed thankful if anyone can guide me resolve this issue.
Thanks.

Hi,
Not all the fields that are changed in material master are sent in the Idoc. Material type is one such field.
Create change pointer on some other field ex. net value or material desc. and transfer the material type changes under it.

  • Passing Changed  extended fields using ALE-IDOC to receiving system

    Hi all,
    Please tell me how passing changed  extended fields using ALE-IDOC to receiving system can be achieved. Is it possible by Chnage pointer concept.Do i need to do some coading after data enters into receiving system as it is required while creating the entries in database table.
    For ex. in matmas05 extended for classification and inspection view and then created using 'CREATION'
    related bapi.Do i also need to incorporate the changes by change related bapi or ir can be handled by change pointer concept.
    Thanks.

    Hi Sanu
    1) Please tell me how passing changed extended fields using ALE-IDOC to receiving system can be achieved. Is it possible by Chnage pointer concept.
    => Looks like you have extended standard IDOC here. so you need to find User Exit or BADI for the Push program to populate the additional fields. Yes, it is possible thru change pointers as well.
    1) Do i need to do some coading after data enters into receiving system as it is required while creating the entries in database table.
    => Yes, as suggested in 1 try finding User Exits/BADIs.

  • Changing Material Type using BAPI

    Hi All,
    I am trying to change a material. I able to change many fields of the material  except 'Material Type' using BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA. 
    Did any one used BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA or any other BAPIs to change the material type of a material? I do not want to develop BDC for the same as of now.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,

    Did you use BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT after BAPI_PO_CHANGE.
    Look also at this <a href="http://www.sap-img.com/abap/sample-abap-code-on-bapi-po-change.htm">Sample Abap code on BAPI_PO_CHANGE</a>

  • Change material Type - 'MMA'

    I am trying to Change Material Type using T-code - 'MMAM'.But Message is coming PO already exist.
    Problem is tat we have already created GIN for the PO & Reversed the GIN also,but still PO is not getting release to Change any data.It is giving error,that GIN already exist.
    I want to Change the MAterial Type.How can i do that.??
    Viru.

    Please note that both the new material type and the old material type must have the      
    same characteristics eg. quantity based material management is one of   
    the characteristic. The R/3 Online Help provides a very good explanation 
    on all the pre-requisites before you can change a material type.        
    (Logistics Gen>Logistics Basic Data > LO Managing Material Master Data >
    Material Master Record > Material Type > Change Material Type)          
    Please check if you have set the deletion flag for any PO's as              
    these need to be physically deleted for MMAM to work. You will also         
    need to check if there are ANY open items for this order. The purchase      
    orders need to be ARCHIVED. You should complete the invoice receipt for     
    this position BEFORE you set the deletion flag in the purchase order.       
    Also, if the material is already in stock, or if reservations or           
    purchasing documents exist for it, the following conditions must also be   
    met:                                                                       
    >The stock values of the material of the new material type must be         
    updated in the same G/L account as the stock values of the material of    
    the old material type.                                                                               
    >Quantities and values of the material of the new material type must be    
    updated in exactly the same way in all plants as quantities and values    
    of the material of the old material type.                                                                               
    >If there is a transfer requirement for the material and if quantities     
    of the material exist, the new material type must also allow the          
    material data to be maintained from the Warehouse Management view.

    the Distribution Model:
    Model View
    SEEBEYONG
    PRODUCTION
    GoodsMovement.CreateFromData
    Reciever determination: no filter
    Now my client's request is:
    When the Movement Type is 551 in the IDOC Segment "E1BP2017_GM_ITEM_CREATE", This IDOC will be ignore and not trigger the BAPI to post goods issue.
    i try to add the destination filter in the Distribution Model. but when i add the filter group, there are only two filter parameter ("Plant" and "Storage Location") and don't allow to add others.
    i have no idea now. can anyone give me a favor. thank you very much in advance.

  • How to change material type and industrial sector of the exsisting material

    Hi,
    There is an issue where user wants to change material type and industrial sector of the exsisting material .Is  it posible to do so??
    IF not ,how can we delete that material from material master so that another material with same number and required material type and industrial sector  can be created.
    Points will be definitely rewarded.
    Thanks
    Rohit

    Hi Rohit,
    You can change the material type in MMAM trxn code if the material dosenot conatain any open purchase requisitions, open reservations & open purchase orders. Also material stock should be zero.
    Remember the new material type should have same attributes same as old material type.
    OLD Material New Material
    1) Standard Price 1) Standard Price
    2) Manufacture part 2) Manufacture part
    profile actvated profile actvated
    3) Quantity & Value 3) Quantity & Value
    Updation in all areas Updation in all areas
    4) should have same GL 4) Should have same GL acs
    acs
    It is not possible to change Industry sector once created.
    If you want to delete the Material, you can flag it in MM06 trxn code.

  • Change material type - any warnings?

    A material with very little history exists in the system as a semi-finished item with 1220 valuation class.  One purchase order exists that is due in, in two days.  No inventory exists.  The problem is that the system is not configured to post goods against 1220 valuation class items.  So it needs converted to a finished good since the plan is to sell it after it is received from a vendor.
    No open orders or other movements exist in the system.  Just one new open po that was created today, and could easily be deleted. 
    So, delete the po then change the material type using MMAM. 
    Are there any recommendations/warnings someone can offer before this is done?

    Hi,
    Pre requisites for changing a material types:
    1. If you use a material ledger the material ledger must be settled in it.
    2.If the old material type did not require you to specify a price control for the material the new material type must not be configured such that it allows only
    standard price as price control.
    3.If the material is already in stock or reservations exists or purchase orders exists the following conditions must exist.
          1. The stock values of the new material types must be updated in the same
              G/L Account as the stock values of the old material types
         2.  Quantities and values of the new material types must be updated exactly as were by the old material types.

    When i am changing the material type i am getting this msg. In Po items were deleted.
    Change Material Type
    The material type cannot be changed.
    The reasons for this are:

    However, account determination for the two material types differs.
    (different account category reference or no valuation data defined)
        Valuation area
        1030
    No open purchase order are there.

  • I want to change Material Type for mass upload.(MMAM)

    Suggestion pls? or Any BAPI is availablre?

    Edited by: Thomas Zloch on Jan 6, 2011 11:27 AM

    This may be little tough for 10000 sales orders.
    1. You have to remove the output record for the irrelevant output record using tcode VV12 for the relevant document type. So now for the document type, the old output wont be triggered.
    2. Now, create output records for hte correct output type in VV11 tcode(for the output type BA03) for the document type. Now this output will be triggered for all the document types you are creating from now onwards.
    3. To trigger the output type BA03, in all the old orders, you just have to open these sales orders in change mode (VA02), and just save it. When u open it the output type BA03 will be automatically triggered as the master data is maintained in VV11. But because just opening all the 10000 sales orders in VA02 one by one be a mechanical task, you have to think of some tool for this.
    May be a CATT procedure can do the trick. Else, you can just create a small program, where you can upload these sales orders and the program will just open these orders in change mode and just saves it (without making any changes). Then the output will be retriggered.
    Here again, if you are printing the output directly, it is advisable to trigger the output in batch mode(Date/Time field is 1 in VV11), and then you can again trigger the printing again using the program RSNAST00 after office hours for these 10k orders.
    I hope I answered ur query.
    Pls lemme know if you need some more info. (You can reward me too...)

  • How to avoid changing material type in MIGO & J1IEX ?

    Dear all,
    How to avoid changing material type in MIGO & J1IEX ?

    hii
    i think u asking about the , if the material is excisable , then it will ask for material type , not all material type , onle like asset , raw material, consumable, non cenvatable , finished oods and tools.
    There i hope its standard SAP system setting , because some time the if do consumable procurement with excisable material .
    While doing Gr or J1IEX system will consider that material is capital item, that we cancahge to raw material and we can utilize the cenvate credit in the same year .
    so it cannot be hide or making gray mode is difficult in practical.
    So revert any clarification
    Thanks

    my client want to change material type and valuation class in their production system. but the material no. and some transaction had done by this material. anything i need to concern? especially, in FI part. thank

    The basic requiremnt will be that client want to change the G/L code attached to the valuation class.
    If you have already done some transaction it is not fininacialy right to move valuation classes.
    Tell in detail what is the requiremnt.

  • How to change Material Type

    Hi All,
    I have created new material type as ZINS ( Insurance spares ).
    Now,I have to change ZSPR ( Spares) material to ZINS material type.
    In system there are no liabilities for this material.But ,I am getting following error while executing T-code :-MMAM.
    Error :- " Change Material Type
    The material type cannot be changed.
    The reasons for this are:
    QM inspection data exists for the material. In this inspection data,
    it is defined that a plan is required for the inspection. However,
    inspection plans are not allowed for the new material type.
        Plant
        1100
        6001
    Task lists already exist for specific TL types for the material
    The new material type does not allow assignment of task lists for these TL types "
    I want to know is there any settings required while creating new material type in quality module,as this error seems to be related to Quality module.
    Please help,as this is very much urgent.
    Thanks.
    With Best Regards,

  • Changing Material Types

    Gurus,
    I have a situation. We have multiple Plants under different CC with common materials being traded between different Plants. A raw matl for one could be the FG for another and such similar cases. Now when I am trying to onboard a new Plant in my landscape, I notice that certain materials are FERT for me, but they have already been defined as ROH in the system.
    We have agreed to change the Matl types to a new common one. Please tell me the steps and precautions to be taken while doing this activity.
    Regards
    Keshav

    Use t.code: MMAM - for changing the material type but you change the material type in MMAM transaction automatically also the valuation class will be changed in material master. The system will take the changed material type valuation class which was created for that material type.
    If valuation class changed, U have to take care of..
    1) Valuated stocks in the current period or in the previous period.
    2) Open purchase orders may be there.
    3) Production orders which a goods movement has already taken place.
    For this first you have to do the following:
    If valuated stocks already exist, you can change the valuation class only:
    1) Post the stocks of the material to an interim account.
    2) Change the valuation class in the material master record.
    3) Post the stocks of the material back to their original account.
    If open purchase orders already exist, you can only change the valuation class if you first flag the corresponding purchase order items for deletion.
    If production orders exist for which a goods movement has already taken place, you can only change the valuation class if you first set the status of the production orders to deleted
