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.

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......

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"

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

Item Master Data - Min Inventory

In Item Master Data, the inventory tab, is it possible to change (Through DTW) the Min.Inventory field? If so which DTW template do I use?

Hi......
Yes it is possible.....
For this you have to use WarehouseInfo template with which you have to run WarehouseInfo_OITW and Item Master data template both simultaneously.......
The template is there in the same folder of Item Master Data......

Unit Price in Item Master Data

Step no.1) At time of Defining Item Master Data we are Defining Unit Price say<b> 2,000</b> <b>INR.</b> Data Saved in Price List 01.
Now with this information I am Preparing Purchase Order.After Selecting Specific Item unit price is reflecting in P.O by default, Then I modified Unit price from 2000 INR to 2500 INR in P.O.
Step no 2) I received material by Goods Receipt PO
Step no 3) When I am posting A/P Invoice based on GoodsReceipt PO in invoice the original Master Data Unit price is Reflecting.
Now vice versa I made another Transaction also in Another System.
In Step no 3 it is reflecting the Unit Price of Purchase Order.
Can I know why it gives different Information for same type of Transaction. Does I followed wrong System.
Regards
Narender

Please confirm the following.
Once you select a Price in PO it should carry all the way through at the AP Invoice and should not change unless changed manually.
Are you copying the PO > Goods Receipt PO > AP Invoice
And when copying to Goods Receipt PO or Invoice you are not changing the price or Pricelist
Pls let me know

Pre-Check LSMW: To-Do-List Before Using the Tool
The LSM Workbench is a tool that supports the transfer of data from non-SAP systems to R/3. Basic functionality of the LSM Workbench:
1. Import old data from spreadsheet tables or sequential files.
2. Convert the data from source format into target format.
3. Import the data into R/3.
Before using the LSM Workbench, you need a concept for data migration. In particular, note the following items:
· Make sure that R/3 customizing is complete.
· Analyze the data existing in the legacy system to determine which data will be needed in the future (also from a business-operational point of view).
· Consider whether usage of the tool makes sense with regard to the data volumes to be transferred. In case of very small data quantities, it may be easier to carry out the transfer manually. With very large data volumes, however, batch input technology may lead to excessively long runtimes. Rough estimate for the required time: 10000 records per hour; this value, however, may vary strongly depending on the hardware.
· Identify the transaction(s) in R/3 you want to use for bringing the data into the SAP System. Here, it may also be relevant whether the data is required for statistical (evaluation) purposes or for further processing in the system.
· Test the relevant transaction in R/3 manually with test data from the old system and make sure that all required fields are filled. There may be required fields that do not correspond to any data window in the legacy system. In such a case, assigning a fixed value or defining the field as optional for data transfer may be appropriate.
· Check the interfaces provided by the application. Is there a batch input program and an IDoc (for example)? Which method should be used in your project?
· Develop a mapping plan in written form: Assign the legacy system fields to the R/3 fields.
· Determine the form (e.g. via u201EMOVEu201C or assigned according to a rule) in which the legacy system data shall be transferred to the SAP System.
· If applicable, define the allocation rules (LSM-internal name: u201Etranslation rulesu201C).
· Define the way for extracting the data from the legacy system. (Note: LSMW does not extract data.)
· Describe the form in which the old data are available: Will the host or the spreadsheet interface of the LSMW have to be used?
· If only a part of your legacy system will be replaced by R/3, define the functionalities to be provided by the SAP System and those to be provided by the legacy system. If required, create a concept of the data flows and interface architecture.
These questions can only be answered individually for every customer; as a matter of course, this should be done before the tool is used!

Picture on Item master Data

Dear all expert,
I want to put picture on item master data. I'm already set up picture folder on General Setting in C:/SAP Images.
If I'm uploading the picture on C:/SAP Images in my computer, another user can't see the picture.
I'm trying to upload in the server (C:/SAP Images) but the problem still happen. Only SAP on server that can see the picture.
So where do I have to put the picture ?
Thanks

Hi!
The Client should Connect to the Server automaticaly rather giving User Name and Password.
In User Machine > Go to RUN >
Server name
1. it should connect without asking password, to attain this each client should be register in SEVER Machin. (Take a help of IT ADMIN)
2. That Picture folder should be shared and tht folder should have full access to the user.
3. Define Picture Folder Path in SAP as
Server Name\Path...

Hi!
You need add one tabPage in Item Form rigth?
You can used the function:
public void AddTab(string formID, string tabName, string tabNum, string tabCaption)
            try
                Form oForm = oApp.Forms.GetForm(formID, 0);
                    Item oItPosition = oForm.Items.Item(tabNum);
                    Item oItTbTest = oForm.Items.Add(tabName, BoFormItemTypes.it_FOLDER);
                    oItTbTest.Top = oItPosition.Top;
                    oItTbTest.Height = oItPosition.Height;
                    oItTbTest.Width = oItPosition.Width;
                    oItTbTest.Left = (oItPosition.Left + oItPosition.Width) + 20;
                    oItTbTest.AffectsFormMode = true;
                    Folder oTbTest = (Folder)oItTbTest.Specific;
                    oTbTest.Caption = tabCaption;
                    oTbTest.ValOff = "0";
                    oTbTest.ValOn = "1";
                    oTbTest.GroupWith(tabNum);
            catch (Exception e)
                oApp.StatusBar.SetText(e.Message, BoMessageTime.bmt_Medium, BoStatusBarMessageType.smt_Error);
