Hi bunty,
I am using BAPI_MATERIAL_MAINTAINDATA_RT to create new materials and also cannot find a way to flag an EAN as main. My problem is that I cannot even create the material since I always get this error:
M3-535: First specify the main EAN for the unit PC
Here's the thread I just started on this issue:
BAPI_MATERIAL_MAINTAINDATA_RT for MARA 'Z' fields
Did you solve your problem? If so please let me know how.
Thanks,
Nuno

Updating EAN number for artcile within a sales order

Hi Everyone,
We are running SAP R/3 E, I have a situation where a sales order can be created using a material which does not have a EAN article number associated within MM.
One particular partner gets their invoice by EDI and needs this field in the invoice, even if we update the material in MM02 with the EAN code its not copied through to the invoice, even if we cancel the invoice the same problem exists. I can also look in the sales order and see that the EAN did not update in their either, it will do for new sales orders.
Please can somebody advise how to get this though to my Invoice so it will appear in the IDOC? If we have to cancel/re-invoice that's not a problem
Many thanks

Deleting main EAN (MEAN-HPEAN = 'X') in retail material master data

Hello experts,
I have a customer (IS Retail) that realized, after data migration from legacy system, that many EAN including the main ones were obsolete or wrong. They asked me to clean all the EANs for a set of items, before deciding the new ones to be migrated.
I tried 'BAPI_MATERIAL_MAINTAINDATA_RT' that deletes all EAN but not the main one, and I can manage to remove the flag of main ean (MEAN-HPEAN = 'X'), but after that I cannot cancel the last EAN anyway, because in effect it's not correct, as SAP best practices suggest.
Please consider that all OSS notes available have been implemented, and that I have checked with all available threads and posts on the network with no answer.
Could please somebody help me?
thanks in advance

Hello,
I used this 'BAPI_MATERIAL_MAINTAINDATA_RT' (that works for RETAIL solutions, otherwise you have to use 'BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA')
DATA: T_BAPIE1MATHEAD TYPE BAPIE1MATHEAD OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
DATA: T_RET TYPE BAPIRETURN1 OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE..
DATA: T_MEAN TYPE BAPIE1MEANRT OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
(You have to select the material number and EANs you want to delete in two internal tables, such as T_MARA1 and *T_MEAN1, then loop at those tables and:)
      REFRESH: T_BAPIE1MATHEAD, T_MEAN. "T_MARA, T_MARAX.
*header
      T_BAPIE1MATHEAD-FUNCTION = '003'. "function code for DELETING
      T_BAPIE1MATHEAD-MATERIAL = T_MARA1-MATNR.
      T_BAPIE1MATHEAD-NO_APPL_LOG = 'X'.
      APPEND T_BAPIE1MATHEAD.
*mean
        T_MEAN-FUNCTION = '003'.
        T_MEAN-MATERIAL = T_BAPIE1MATHEAD-MATERIAL.
        T_MEAN-UNIT = 'ST'.
        T_MEAN-UNIT_ISO = 'PCE'.
        T_MEAN-EAN_UPC = T_MEAN1-EAN11.
        T_MEAN-EAN_CAT = T_MEAN1-EANTP.
        APPEND T_MEAN.
      CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_MATERIAL_MAINTAINDATA_RT'
         EXPORTING
           HEADDATA                   = T_BAPIE1MATHEAD
        IMPORTING
          RETURN                     = T_RET
     TABLES
      INTERNATIONALARTNOS        = T_MEAN
      CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT'
        EXPORTING
          WAIT = 'X'.
*(Close the loops) This works for all NON MAIN EAN, but not for the main.
If you are in a non-retail system, this changes into:
**header
      T_BAPIMATHEAD-MATERIAL = T_MARA1-MATNR.
      APPEND T_BAPIMATHEAD.
        T_MEAN-UNIT = 'ST'.
        T_MEAN-UNIT_ISO = 'PCE'.
        T_MEAN-EAN_UPC = T_MEAN1-EAN11.
        T_MEAN-EAN_CAT = T_MEAN1-EANTP.
        T_MEAN-DEL_FLAG = 'X'.
        APPEND T_MEAN.
     CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA'
        EXPORTING
        HEADDATA            = T_BAPIMATHEAD
      TABLES
          INTERNATIONALARTNOS = T_MEAN.
      CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT'
        EXPORTING
        WAIT = 'X'.
hope this can help
kind regards

How do you assign a main EAN in BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA

I am trying to assign a main EAN to an existing material (which does not currently have an EAN) using BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA. I have implemented the following steps in an ABAP program:
(a) Load the BAPI_MARM (unitsofmeasure) table with one row containing data for the main EAN, including its unit of measure.
(b) I have a matching row in BAPI_MARMX with the relevant fields set.
(c) Load the BAPI_MEAN (internationalartnos) table with one row containing relevant data for the EAN.
(d) After calling BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA I am calling BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT.
When I run the program it does not add the EAN or assign a main EAN.
In debug the FM is returning the message MG 160 First specify the main EAN for the unit EA
I have read that there are problems with this BAPI and EAN's, but we seem to have applied the various notes (eg 406160 and others) that address this issue.
Any help would be appreciated - thanks.

why not use a BDC to update the same.

BAPI_MATERIAL_MAINTAINDATA_RT - no way to set MAIN EAN?

Hi,
I'm using BAPI_MATERIAL_MAINTAINDATA_RT to create new materials. Everything was going fine until I added an EAN to the material, when it started giving the following error:
M3-535: First specify the main EAN for the unit PC
What this error says makes sense. But in structure MARM (parameter INTERNATIONALARTNOS) of this BAPI the field "main EAN" (HPEAN) is not available. So, how can I set it if it is not available?
I do see that in structure VENDOREAN has field main ean but I tried to set it and still nothing happened. Besides, I believe it doesnt make sense to set it from here since we don't need vendor data in order to add EANs to an article.
Having debugged I found the data flowing from INTERNATIONALARTNOS structure to internal table MEAN_ME_TAB which has a structure similar to MEAN and then the place where this internal table the existence of a main EAN is tested. Of course it always fails, since there is no way to fill that field from the BAPI.
Unless I'm missing something, I don't see how I can set the main EAN from the BAPI.
Please help.
Regards,
Nuno

I found the solution. Main EAN goes in MARM but when I had tried it and it failed it was actually because I forgot to set this field in X structure.
Thanks.

Re: EAN number should be substituted by material number

Hi all,
I am having a r/3 ecommerce scenario.
I have a requirement that when a customer enters EAN number for a material in frontend , the material should be determined automatically.
I have mantained the material determination record accordingly in r/3 and when I am creating a order in r/3 and entering the EAN number in material field, it automatically substitutes the EAN with the material maintaied in condition record.
What settings do I do , so that the same works in frontend?
Thanks and regards,
Nilesh

Like this?

Commitment item can not derived from main asset number

Dear all,
Our client have 1 G/L LVA and divided to many asset class LVA. Asset lva will post to general expense when run depreciation, and they want the acquisition/procurement of LVA should check the budget of the general expense.
It means the acquisition of LVA will check the budget of general expense, then no budget when run depreciation.
I already setting for no check budget for run depreciation. However, i found trouble when set the derivation from main asset number to commitment item. I want to set from main asset number because only 1 G/L LVA.
Derivation rule from main asset number not populated to commitment item which i'm expecting, example
FMDERIVE (1)   CI from main asset number (for acquisition)
                   asset number         CI
                  23000000000        7400000102
FMDERIVE (2) CI from g/l account
                   G/L acct.                CI
                 2290000001          2290000001
Because asset number 23000000000 assign to g/l 2290000001, then the tracing always read the g/l account, then derive to commititem 2290000001 NOT to 7400000102.
I already give many condition however it can not work. Even i deactivate fmderive (2), asset number can not populate to relevant commitment item.
Please give me advice how derive the commitment item from main asset number or relevan things.
Regards,
Dewi

Hi Dewi
Please have a look at these notes which I think are interesting:
[736914|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/736914]     Budget relevance of asset transactions
[1268001|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1268001] FI313 - No funds center entered/derived
So, if you need to derive the FMAA from the Asset master data, you could enable a derivation step calling function module FMDT_READ_MD_ASSET. Take care of following derivation steps which may be overwriting the derived values from FMDT_READ_MD_ASSET. See the trace log, according to note [666322|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/666322]

EAN number missing leading zeroes

Hi,
I have configured two types of EAN/UPC numbers, one being 12 characters and one being 14. In our business, we have a situation where a material has a case UPC number 00099999123456 and a package UPC of 099999123456.
When these values are displayed on the material master I will see either
099999123456 or
00099999123456
but not both values with the correct number of leading zeroes.
Is there a way to have the correct value with the right number leading zeros when the EAN number is the same except for the leading zeroes?
The standard conversion routines i've looked at do not take into account there could be a different number of leading zeroes based on the EAN type assigned as the type is not a import parameter for CONVERSION_EXIT_EAN11_OUTPUT.
thanks!

Hi,
As per your query this is related to your configuration setting. Pls consult with SD/FI consultant and also consult with ABAPER. If configuration is ok then may be your have develop a programe and the programe may be wrong.

You can access your account's Caller ID settings by logging into your Skype account here on the Skype web site. Use the "Account" link at the top of this page, and once you log in you will see Caller ID settings. You should be able to change it to your Florida number, since Skype's Online Numbers in the US can be used as Caller ID. These numbers are not automatically set up as Caller ID when you purchase them.

EAN number problem : Alphanumeric

Hello ,
We are doing a retail implementation for a client.
Our client has a specific requirements for Alphanumeric EAN number maintainence as most of the vendors who send the goods to them use the same .
I did tried to check the configuration as per the F1 help , SAP allows either Numeric or Aplhabhatical EAN numbers.
Though in EAN category option there is a check available for Alphanumeric indicator
I did tried to create a new EAN category , I have not defined a Check rule ....and the number Range I have assigned is external as 0000AAAAAAA to 0000ZZZZZZZ
while creation of article I am not able to specifiy my Aplhanumeric number range.
Gurus , can you suggest a solution and also whether am I doing the steps correctly ( Such as number ranges etc) and if incase doing something incorrectly pls let me know
Please help........
Thanks

Hi,
The EAN category distinguishes between the different types of EAN. The SAP Retail System supports all EAN categories including:
Manufacturer EANs
Instore EANs
Short EANs
Fresh produce EANs
You define EAN categories in Customizing for the Article Master in the activity Define Attributes of EANs. The EAN category defines the following attributes of the relevant EAN:
(a) Type of number assignment, that is, internal and/or external number assignment
(b) Check digit algorithm determining whether a check digit is required. A check digit is required with check digit algorithm 1 (the standard EAN check digit algorithm). In the case of internal number assignment, the check digit is determined automatically.
A check digit is not required with the other check digit algorithms.
(a) Prefix in the case of fresh produce EANs
(b) EAN length
(c) Whether the EAN may be alphanumeric
If you specify an EAN, but not an EAN category, when creating an article master record, the system determines the EAN category automatically. If you specify the EAN category, but not an EAN, the system determines the EAN automatically if internal number assignment is allowed by the EAN category.
Bye,
Muralidhara

System should calculate the UPC/EAN Number automatically

Can we add the UPC calculator to SAP, MM01 so the system can calculate the ending checkdigit for us? Currently when we need to calculate the ending checkdigit for upc codes we go to an online site, key the number, calculate the ending digit, copy and paste into MM01. Can this calculation be added to MM01, Basic Data 1, EAN/UPC field?
If we key the 14 digit upc ending in 0, the system message can then tell us what the corrected digit should be or change it automatically for us. Currently the message says "the EAN xxx has an incorrect checkdigit"
example temp upc-key 55000011564120 and the message should say "ending digit should be 6" or the system can change to 0 to a 6 for us.
example real upc-00036000915450 and the message should say "ending digit should be 7" or the system can change to 7 for us.
We have to key the zero on the end or the system adds a leading zero up front (to make the full 14 digits) and just accepts.
Website we use to calculate the ending digits is http://www.gs1.org/barcodes/support/check_digit_calculator
Please help me in solving this scenario.....
Marc.

Hi Mark,
For this scenario you will need to add custom code for automatic calculation of Check digit and thus modifying EAN/UPC no. entered by you to a correct EAN/UPC no.
However as soon as we enter EAN/UPC( with wrong check digit) no in basic data 1 tab we get an error u201CThe EAN 36000915450 has an incorrect check digitu201D. And it seems that in between entry of EAN/UPC and error message there is no customer exit/BADI is coming in which we could have written our custom code to generate check digit and correct EAN/UPC.
So an option is that if you are uploading multiple materials you can use BDC to upload all such materials and there you will have the possibility to correct the EAN/UPC using ABAP custom code before submitting it to MM01 screen.
Regards,
Rajwin.
