LSMW change article master data

Dear All,
As I am new in Retail, i need to know detail steps how to perform LSWM (IDOC method) to change material master (MM42)
providing that needed fields are article code - vendor - purchase organization .. and the field to be changed is tax code located in purchasing view.
Or there is another method to mass change for these materials.
Appreciating your quick response,
Thanks..

You have multiple options of how to create an LSMW project to maintain Article Master data within SAP.
You can use the IDOC method using message type ARTMAS Basic Type ARTMAS05, you can use standard input or direct input with object 020 Article Master Method 0000 - program RMDATIND and even BAPI with BUS1001001  Retail article
What you will need to do is work through each of the process steps within after defining the object attributes which include defining the source structure and fields (i.e. you flag file structure) and mapping the source structure fields to the target structure (I.E. IDoc fields) and then specifying the location of the flat file.
If you need more specific details you might want to check out SAP - Press.com website and search for the book Migrating Your SAP Data.
http://www.sap-press.com/products/Migrating-Your-SAP-Data-%282nd-Edition%29.html
there are websites that have some high level details but each project is unique you might not be able to get the exact layout of what you need but they can provide you with some starting places.

  • Article Master Data Extraction from IS-Retail System

    Hi,
    I have one IS-Retail System with me. I want to extract Article Master data from IS-Retail System.
    Is there any specific procedure to do this? If yes, can anybody tell me the procedure?
    Waiting for your response...

    Hi Yash,
    you can use transaction BD10 to extract articles. Note that you should change to message type "ARTMAS" instead of "MATMAS".

  • Export article master data to DTW standard

    Hello,
    I want to export my article master data (and other documents) and import it via the DTW into a new database (maybe i want to adjust something in excel). So I need a query that exports the data to DTW standards. For example: Some fields need to be filled in like: tNO / tYES instead off simple YES / NO.
    My question now is:
    Are there any sql query's that transform the fields in DTW standard, or knows anyone some kind of workaround?
    Thanks in advance!
    Kind regards,
    Jerrel Brouwer

    Write your query so that your column name matches what the DTW needs. As you say, sometimes you need to change the data, so use CASE.
    Example:
    SELECT
    Field_1 AS 'CardCode',
    CASE WHEN Field_2 = 'Y' THEN 'tYES' ELSE 'tNO' END AS 'YesNoField'
    FROM...

  • Asking for help about modification to article master data of retail system

    Deal All,
    Is there any one can tell me how to modify the article master data in retail system ?
    I have tried to deal with the requirement by BDC and calling the function BAPI_MATERIAL_MAINTAINDATA_RT,
    but both of the two approaches can not update the customized fields in the table MAW1.
    For BDC, the changed data can only be update in debug mode.
    For the function, no customized fields of table MAW1 are taken into account as to its parameters.
    Can anyone tell how I should do ?
    Thanks in advance,
    Kevin

    Hi Kevin,
    Try FM: MATERIAL_UPDATE_ALL_RETAIL

  • Is it possible to change a master data key ?

    Hi Experts,
    i'd like to know if it is possible in any way to change/update the key of a master data table.
    Reason: All of our projects have a certain nomenclature. Now I realized one project that does not follow that nomenclature and would like to change it accordingly (0PROJECT -> /BI0/PPROJECT).
    The connection to the cubes is through SIDs, therefore I cannot remove the current record in the master data table and create a new (the correct) one.
    I also cannot reload the cube after I possibly had changed the master data table.
    For me, the simpliest would be to just update the key portion in /Bi0/PPROJECT and I think modern database systems would allow this (we are running BI on top of DB2), but may be I'm wrong.
    I tried the update in the maintenance dialog in RSA1. Stupid enough it allows me to change the key and even the subsequent Save would work. However, by opening the table afterwards again, the old (worng) values are displayed again.
    Would someone know how this could work ?

    Hi,
    Are you trying to change the value  of a master data key for a particular record in the P table?
    if this is your requirement, then the answer is NO. i don't think so..changing it manually doesn't help you.
    I suggest you to load the same record from your source system with new master data key value and all other attributes with the same data as the old record.
    Now you will have two records in your P table( one with the old value and another with the new one)
    There is no harm in having the old record in your P table...deleting of any master data is risky and not appreciable ( but possible)
    You need to use this new master key value in your transaction loads which will intrun connect to the master data using SIDs
    By using the new value in your transaction loads, the old one will not visible in any of your reports...but will just sit in the P table with no use, which is still fine for you.
    However, to laod this new value (in both master and transaction data) you need to get in touch with the functional team.
    Modifying the data manually in BI/BW ( Unless there is an invalid data from source to PSA) will lead to inconsistencies and reconciliation issues. - NOT Advisable

  • Article Master Data View Extend in listing

    Hi Experts,
    I have already listed article to one site and logistic data is being maintained accordingly. Now, i like to extend/ list article to another site. Since the site is diff, the logistic data would also defer. I am able to list to another site through listing Tcode. WSP4 but i also want simultaneously the logistic data should get copied to article master data with reference to the site which i have listed.
    How should i config the system in when i do article listing to another site, the logistic data get automatic maintained to article master data ?
    Thanks,

    Martin,
    We already have that setting in customizing for RFDC/RFST, when we list article to another site which logistic data may not be the same RFDC and hence we have to maintain it. I m looking for setting which can create logistic data of the site to which we have listed article.
    Sales Data of the article should also get created which in turn helpful in automating logistic process in d system. Any help/ suggestion.
    Thanks,

  • Insert article picture in article master data

    Hi,
         I need to insert article picture in article master data, can anybody suggest me how can i do that. In article master data Basic data tab page i am unable to see the screen data view. Is there any possible way to view the article picture by placing the cursor in the article number.
    Thank you
    Kumar

    no no thats not true.
    But at the moment the screens sequence fashion assigned to article type FASH has this subscreen activated.
    For standard Retail users with screen sequence 23, the admin or consultant has to put the new screen on the basic data view.
    The logic works for retail only, but if you follow the instruction for customer own subscreen (see note) you can copy the retail screen, adjust some standard PBO PAI modules and ready to go.
    But remark, you will loos support if you use Retail functionality in MM systems.

  • ECATT: Failure of eCATT Scripts Due To Changed Configuration & Master Data

    Hello,
    => I am using eCATT mainly for the configuration testing. And with the changes in configuration, field sequences as well as changes in screen sequences were observed which were not there during recording time. So all the affected scripts failed.
    Again, with the change in master data, which caused extra screen sequences or Messages which were not there during recording time caused the eCATT scripts failure.
    As the same server can be used by different projects where the configuration or mainly the master data will keep on changing, how to ensure the success of eCATT scripts.
    => The target system during recording time was different and at the time of execution is different. So both are maintained in the system data container. 
    Due to some reason, the recording time target system was removed from the system data container. And new target system was specified at execution time. Scripts failed saying that target system of recording time doesn't exist in system data container. This problem was sorted out by adding again the recording time target system in system data container. 
    What if the server of recording time is not there physically during execution time? Will the eCATT scripts fail as earlier?
    If so then how to workout the situation as the number of scripts are too large to change the target system in script itself.
    Thanks & Regards

    Hi,
    >Scripts failed saying that target system of recording >time doesn't exist in system data container.
    Please check, if there is really no usage of the "old" target system name anymore. Potential usage could be at some commands or at some command interfaces of disabled commands (meaning "commented" commands).
    If you can not find the usage of your old target system which leads to the problem and if you require a solution for that open a sap support ticket.
    I think, the whole target system control was also improved from WAS 6.20 to WAS 6.40.

  • Maintain Change Pointer for Customer Master?(change in Master data)

    Hello everyone,
    i want to capture change in master data .whenever a change happen to  required  field in  customer master an idoc should be create for that and the entry should e made in table CDHDR and CDPOS.
    Please tell me the entire process how  can i achieve this .

    Hi,
    Tables / Functions:
    The change pointers are stored in tables BDCP and BDCPS.
    With release ECC 6.0 SAP delivered a new table BDCP2 for increased performance. Which table shall be used is defined in transaction BD50 (see below). There is a function to migrate “old” change pointers to the new table.
    The function group BD01 contains function modules for reading and updating the new change pointers in table BDCP2.
    BDCP                     
    Change pointer
    BDCP2                    
    Aggregated Change Pointers (BDCP, BDCPS)
    BDCPS                    
    Change pointer: Status
    Prerequisites:
    There has to exist a Change Document Object (CDO) for the SAP-object we change. For standard objects like material masters, vendors or customers these objects already exist. For own business objects we have to define a change document object with transaction SCDO .
    In the corresponding data element for the database field the flag „Change document“ has to be active.  check the details in the transaction
    The usage of change pointers has to be actived generally for the system

  • SAP Retail : Article Master Data Transfer using LSMW/ARTMAS05: EAN Error

    Hi Bjorn Panter,
    I want to thank you for providing very informative articles on the Master Data of ERP Retail.
    We are currently loading articles to SAP from legacy and use your articles on ERP Retail as part of our knowledge warehouse.
    We have encountered an error which has stumped our conversion.
    We are getting an M3 535 error stating that "First specify the main EAN for the unit EA".  We are using LSMW (IDOC Method, Basic Type ARTMAS05).
    Our MARM segments have generic and variants.  The UPC and UPC category (set to UC) are filled for the variants and blank in the segment containing the generic.
    Our MEAN segments contain variants only with the UPC and UPC category (set to UC) filled.
    Our UC EAN category is configured with a blank check digit algorithm and a number range of 12 digits.  We are loading our variants with EANs that are 12 digits.
    When debugged IDOC_INPUT_ARTMAS, I noticed that :
    In routine  MARM_UEBERGEBEN (in function module BAPI_MATERIAL_MAINTAINDATA_RT), this code clears our MARMX indicators :
       LOOP AT UNITSOFMEASURE.
        ART_DATA_EXISTS = 'X'.    "JH/05.01.00/4.6C Entkopplung der MALG
        IF UNITSOFMEASURE-FUNCTION NE C_MSGFN_D.   ->>>> this checks if our function code is 003 (which is a delete).
    *     TMFIELDRES aufbauen
          CLEAR UNITSOFMEASUREX.                   ->>>> Since we are doing a create, it clears the indicators in unitsofmeasureX
    To bypass this clear, I debugged the program and overlayed the indicators and marked UPC and UPC category as 'X'.  This worked and we were able to post our IDOC successfully... THe UPCs showed in the MARM and MEAN tables.
    However, knowing that there are a lot of Retail companies loading articles into their SAP system, it would seem odd that no one has reported this as a bug or no one has posted this issue in SDN.  I could not find any OSS note related to this issue either.
    Can you please help us figure out what is wrong ? Have you encountered this error in the past ?  Is there something in config that we should check ?  Should we look at fields in our segments ?
    Any help from you would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Sarah

    Dear Sarah,
    please open an OSS customer message.
    Put in a valid IDOC ARTMAS number with this error and open your system.
    I guess either it is a bug in IODC structure or you found a bug in software.
    My colleages will take care.
    Regards
    Björn
