Vinoth

Hi,
Please refer sample template to get an idea for mandatory field.
C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP\Data Transfer Workbench\Templates\Samples\1. Add New Data\Inventory\Item Master Data
For item master data, only item code is mandatory when you are adding new item.

Item Master Data Update Error

Recently we updated the properties of several items using the DTW, but eight failed with the following message:
Field cannot be updated (ODBC -1029) [Message 131-183]
We have also tried numerous times to uncheck the desired properties box manually with the same result.

You should be able to change Properties at anytime. The error you are getting is really strange.
I am thinking that the 8 items you are referring is having some data corruption issue.
Are you sure you are only updating the properties?
Please post a Support message to SAP with the error details.

Translation of UoM in Item Master Data

Hi all,
Problem:
Our customer uses multi-language support. In the item master data they use the purchasing and sales UoM which is printed on the marketing documents. For example "ST" in German corresponds to "pc" in French (piece). They need to go into each item one by one and enter the translation even if the UoM is always the same.
Possible solution:
A table behind the UoM field so that you can select from a drop down list. You would then need to translate each entry in the table just once.
Best regards,
Gunther

Using DTW to update the Item Master Data attachment tab

Hi Experts,
Has anyone tried using DTW to update the Attachments Tab on the Item Master Data please? I tried a few things (similar to importing an attachment to an activity) and couldn't get it to work.
I couldn't see that anything to do with the Attachments Tab was exposed in DTW when looking at the mapping fields and also when looking through the options available in the Items Object under Customize Templates - but then I might not be seeing it correctly!
Any ideas or solutions would be great.
Many thanks,
Caroline

Hi Caroline,
AtcEntry is correct for the document, this relates to the AbsEntry in OATC, which then in turn links to AbsEntry in ATC1.
There are a few fields that need to be populated in ATC1:
AbsEntry
Line - To be used if more than 1 Attachment
SrcPath - for the file path
Filename - for the file name
FileExt - for file type - i.e. .pdf
You may be able to configure DTW to import these as a manually created DTW but I suspect that OATC and ATC1 are not open to the Di which will stop it. Coincidently I have been looking at Task Centre to update these but have encountered the same problem

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"

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......

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

Unable to update item master data after upgrade

Greetings,
I have just upgraded from 2005A SP01 PL22 to 8.81 PL05.
After the upgrade, I am unable to update any field in the item master data.
Error message:
In "Warehouses - Setup" window, on "Accounting" tab, choose sales-type revenue account , '_SYS00000001165' [Message 131-52]
I have checked all the warehouses accounting tab and all the revenue account is a sales type account. I have also checked the GL for _SYS00000001165 and it is a COGS GL. After I change its type to "Sales", I am able to update. This shouldn't be the case.
I have also tested creating and update new item master and I have no problem. However, I will have the same problem if i add a new item via duplicating from an old item.
Any advice?
Thank you.

Hi,
Can you also check whether the Item which you are trying to update has Manage G\L Account by as Item, Item group or Warehouse?
If you have checked for the Warehouses, check for the Item Group and at the G\L Determination > Inventory tab as well.
Kind Regards,

Updating Standard Cost for an Item in Item Master Data

How do you change the Item Cost field under the Inventory Data tab in Item Master Data if Standard Cost is selected as Valuation Method. This field is greyed out.

Hi ,
If you have an inventory in the warehouse , you cannot change the item price of the standard cost .
So it is greyed out .Once you donot have inventory ,this field becomes active and you can enter the price .
Second option is from Item Revaluation .
Please test it in test environment
Thank you

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,
Make a FMS whenever user select item(On every transaction Docuement) then warehouse field become blank and blank warehouse we cant add the document so here user select warehouse which he want.
Thanks

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...

Zal

Linking UDO to Item Master Data

Hello Everyone
I just created a User Define Object to store alternative codes for items. In the master data i put all the itemcodes and a description. In the Master Data rows I store all the alternative codes and the supplier that item can have. Sometimes they are few alternativa codes, sometimes a lot
Now I want for the these UDO be related to the Item Master Data so it can me update in the same place. Any ideas?

Ok. These how the UDO works now:
In the master data level, i use the itemcode. When i double click the line, it takes me to another table with the alternative codes for that specific itemcode only
I added a UDF to the item master date and linked to the table (i tried linking them to the udo but could not find how) so it shows all the rows in the table, not just the ones matching that item. I tried with 2 UDF but still could not relate the two. Any ideas how???
Can it be done with the Screen Painter?? Where can i fin documentation about the Screen Painter usage?? I only found documentation on installation

Order multiple quantity in item master data

Hello experts,
I cannot import from Excel file new values for order multiple quantity in item master data (in section planning data). After importing I see that records were imported successfully, but all data which we put in past have been changed to zero and planning method is changed from MRP at None. We have 8.81 PL10 (updating at the end of January).
Do you have any similar experience?
Thank you,
jonmar7

Dear JonMar7,
I have done this in SAP 8.8.1 PL08 using the Import/Export under utilities and seems to be normal. I have only chosen Item and Order Multiple for my template.

Remove Item Master Data

I want to delete bulk of unused item master data from SBO.Please suggest the method as its become very hectic to delete item one by one from Item master data form.

First Download the B1TCH application. After unzipping. Run B1TCH.exe, enter the Server name, userid and password and Refresh Icon next to company dropdown list.
On the page link I send you can see the following tips. You could build a query which picks all Items in the OITM table which do not exist in any of these OINM, OPOR and ORDR tables.
You can save this list as a txt or dynamically pass the query. Rest is explained below.
Deleting stuff
The following examples focus on deleting items from the database. This is something you cannot do with the DTW.
To delete a single item with ItemCode 'DEMOITEM1' from the database, just type:
remove(ITEM,'DEMOITEM1')
...you may also build the list of items by defining a list such as this:for itemcode in['A123','B124','C125']: remove(ITEM,itemcode)
The above samples are nice for testing, but in a real world scenario you might perhaps want to read the itemcodes from a textfile with one itemcode per line:
for itemcode in open("c:
itemstodelete.txt"): remove(ITEM, itemcode)
...OR you might wish to use a resultset from a query as a source for the item codes:
rs=query("select itemcode from oitm where qrygroup64='Y'")for itemcode in browse(rs): remove(ITEM, itemcode)
Function calls can be nested for a more compact expression:
for itemcode in browse(query("select itemcode from oitm where qrygroup64='Y'")): remove(ITEM, itemcode)
