Maintain output device in user master data

when we try to print the Purchase order smartform we are getting the
following update terminated error message.
" Please maintain output device in user master data".
1. If we maintain output device in my user profile as any printer name
then we are not getting the update terminated error message.
2. when we select the network printer it is always printing
using the output device maintained in the user profile (example
LOCL). it is not printing using network printer.
when we select the network printer it should overwrite the user profile
output device.
Can we have the network printer selected irrespective of the printer
maintained in the user profile?
Please provide the solution

Hi
If you mention printer as LOCL the system will use network printer and the printer will be controled by Windows.
If you specify printer name the printer will be controled by SAP.
I hope now you can re-analyze your issue.

  • Update was terminated: maintain output device. How to avoid?

    Hi,
    I created a smartform, and when it is printed, we get the error: Please maintain an output device in your user master data.
    The client wants to avoid this error, without having to maintain the output device in the user master data.
    So I look for the printer device in the NAST table, and pass the printer device in the output parameters when the form is being called.
    But I still get the same message. Anybody know a solution for this? THX.
    Here some of my code.
    Select printer name
          select single LDEST from nast into v_printer_name
                             where OBJKY = NAST-OBJKY.
          output_options-tddest = v_printer_name.
          output_options-tdprinter = v_printer_name.
      call function FM_NAME
      EXPORTING
        control_parameters = control_parameters
        output_options     = output_options
        user_settings      = ' '

    Hi,
    Have you checked the sy-subrc value for the select statement that fetches LDEST from NAST? If the condition fails try to get the user default printer and pass it on to the smartforms.
    select single LDEST from nast into v_printer_name
    where OBJKY = NAST-OBJKY.
    IF sy-subrc = 0.
    output_options-tddest = v_printer_name.
    output_options-tdprinter = v_printer_name.
    else.
              wa_users-mandt = sy-mandt.
              wa_users-bname = sy-uname.
              APPEND wa_users TO i_users.
    Get the user default printer.
              CALL FUNCTION 'SUSR_GET_USER_DEFAULTS'
                TABLES
                  users  = i_users
                EXCEPTIONS
                  OTHERS = 0.
              READ TABLE i_users INTO wa_user1 INDEX 1.
              IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
    set user default printer
                output_options-tddest = v_printer_name.
                output_options-tdprinter = v_printer_name.
              ENDIF.

  • Export and import change document for user master data

    Dear Gurus,
    I have two queries on change document for user master data:
    1. Are there any approaches to export and import change document for user master data?
    We often do system copy from PRD to QAS for UAT and troubleshooting. Before system copy we export the user master data from QAS and then import after the copy process. We would like to keep the change document for user master data on QAS from being refreshed from PRD for security reason.
    2. Change document for Role change in QAS
    When the role is created or modified in DEV and then transported to QAS, the role change document doen't include this change log. The role change document in QAS only records those role changes directly made in QAS.
    Could you advise this is by SAP design or are there any approaches to record this transported role change  in the role change document in QAS?
    Thanks
    YBY

    1. Perhaps you want to consider a system copy to a "virtual system" for UAT?
    2. Changes in QAS (as with PROD as well) will give you the delta. They should ideally be clean... You need to check the source system.
    Another option is to generate the profiles in the target system. But for that your config has to be sqeaky clean and in sync, including very well maintained and sync'ed Su24 data.

  • Maintain number range interval for master data upload for existing employee

    Hi  Experts,
    1)I have the scenario to upload additional data for existing employees in PA. Employees are already existed in SAP HR , But additional Infotypes are required to maintain for those emploees
    2) I have the senario where i have to upload master data for new employees.
    Pls give the detailed description of how to maintain number range interval i.e. External or Internal for upload in both the above scenario. Do we have to maintain number range manually in master data record & then upload it Through BDC or LSMW?

    >

    Yes Mr. Patil...
    For existing employees
    you need to execute HIRING ACTION Through BDC with External number range. While recording you have to use atleast three infotype i.e. IT0000,IT0001,IT0002. In addition you can upload other infotype through PA30.
    For new employees
    While configuration you can create another number range as internal  for new hiring. and use NUMKR feature as well.
    Here I don't understand that why r u looking for upload process for new hiring, if it is not mass hiring. It should be day to day activities which would be done by user through PA40.

  • Maintain SAP ECC (R/3) Master Data with backend validation

    Hi,
    I would like to maintain SAP ECC (R/3) Master Data via the Visual Composer. As far as I understand the functionality, it should be possible, if the ECC provides a BAPI to do that.
    The BAPI must be able to do the same validation that we have, using the backend itself.
    Now the question is whether it is possible, that the BAPI returns the result of the validation back to Visual Composer, because of course the user wants to know whether his action was successfull or not (because of invalid values for example).
    Does anybody has expierences with such a requirement? Can a BAPI return something to the Visual Composer and how can I integrate such a return result in VC?
    Thank you in advance.
    Best regards,
    Johannes

    It is possible to captured BAPI's return parameters in VC.
    Steps:
    1.Add a Form and BAPI to the story board.
    2.Now connect the OUT port of a BAPI to the IN port of FORM , this you can do by
       just drag(BAPI Out port) and drop( FORM in port).
    3.Add a Expression Box in FORM.
    4.Display the values returned by BAPI in the expression box(Use formula)

  • Insert data in a user master data Table

    Hi every body,
    I've created a User Master data table named 'MyTable'. i want to add data to this table but there is an error which occur : 'to generate this. First Define the Numbering Series in the Administration Module'.  I want to add data to this table using C# code,  without using UDO.
    Is it possible?
    Thank you for helping me
    Haifa

    Hi,
    thank you for your answer.
    I didn't understand very well, i will ask the question in an other way.
    it is possible to insert records in a master data table by using the code C#
    I mean :
                usertable = _Company.UserTables.Item(tablename);
                usertable.Code = code;
                usertable.Name = name;
                usertable.UserFields.Fields.Item("U_ContCode").Value = ContCode;
                usertable.UserFields.Fields.Item("U_CardCode").Value = CardCode;
                lRetCode = usertable.Add();
    without encountering the problem of numbering series.

  • How to send User Master Data through XI

    Dear SAP gurus,
    We are currently configuring the e-recruiting module on a separate server than HR (following the SAP standard). 
    As our CUA is not connected to the E-REC systems, we are looking for a way to send properly the User Master Data from HR systems.  We have seen that the report RSCUSND enable us to send iDoc with message type USERCLONE, but this repport can be only run from the CUA then we can t use it.
    Another solution is to make a client copy with the profile SAP_USER, but we can t use this solution because in order to get the User Master Data in a real time we should make the copy each 15 minutes.
    We can t figure out with the question, what is the standard way to send User Master Data to our E-Recruiting module
    Regards
    Hadrien

    HR side:
    1-Below t-code is what you should go through:
    SM59
    BD64
    WE20
    WE21
    2-The key interface object is as below(I used it in LSMW, XI should be the same):
    Business Object      HRMASTER    
    Method               SAVEREPLICAMULTIPLE        
    Message Type         HRMASTER                   
    Basic Type           HRMASTER02                 
    XI side:
    1- The XI has the HR interface package in IR. You just need to select those you need.
    2-Goto ID and do interface mapping between IDOC interface & XI outbound interface
    All above is the skeleton processes. U can consult with XI consultant in details.
    Hope helpful..

  • Safegaurd User master Data during a System Copy

    Hello Gurus,
    I have a 3 system landscape and we are planning to have a system copy from PRD to QTY. Can any one suggest me the available options for safegaurding my User Master Data and retain it back as it is... What is the best practice methods that can be done in this scenario.
    Points gauranteed...
    Br,
    Sri

    Hello Raghu,
    User master data will get copied from source system during system copy. However if you want to protect this then I would suggest an unconventional way. In case you have CUA then before system  copy you need to  discontinue CUA.
    After this make a transport of all the roles along with user assignment. Include this transport in a transport of copies and release it with a target though please dont import it in the target system.
    After system copy is done follow the following proceedure.
    Delete all role assignments that the users have.
    You can make a CATT tool for this.
    Once user deletion is done import  the role tranport with user assignments.
    Now reset CUA and do SCUG activities.
    Hope it helps.
    Please award points accordingly.
    Regards.
    Ruchit.

  • Deleted User Master Data with SQL Server Management Studio

    Hi All
    I've, recently restored an ECC 6.0 backup onto a test system. In an attempt to quickly delete most of the User Master Data from the source system, I deleted the User ID's from the USR02 table using SQL Management Studio.
    But within Transaction su01, the User ID's that were deleted that way, still show up in the "F4" search. I can select one of those deleted ID's, but get an informational pop up stating that the user does not exist, if I go to display.
    Does anyone know of a quick way to delete these User ID's from the "F4" search pop up?
    The only way I've found so far is to select the User ID, recreate it and then delete it from the su01 transaction. This is going to take me hours.
    Tried to save time, but caused more of a head ache.
    Ken

    Thanks Brian
    Yes, I have done this in the past as well. Although for this instance, I needed to keep about 20 of the 100 + User ID's that were in the system, and was hoping for an easy way to do it.
    In Table USR02, it was easy to pick all, but the 20 and delete. (Sometimes we think we're smarter than we really are I've since spoken to a Security team member and found out about there's a way to do "Mass" changes in transaction su01.
    tcode us01 -> Environment -> Mass changes.

  • User Master Data Changes in CUA Environment

    Hello,
    when a new user gets created.we have requirement for Indian system to set the decimal notation in user master data by default to 1,234,567.89 ,instead users doing it manually using SU3.We are using workflow tool for user creation.Globally our systems are connected to CUA system.User gets created in CUA system and then master data is distributed through IDOC to child systems.
    Now by defalut it the decimal notation is set to 1.234.567,89.

    Dear Sagar,
    Try to see which tables are changing when you chage that field with help of ABAP and then incorporate the same logic in your workflow for India User. I think there will be a need to add one more field in your workflow and should be done.
    But make sure you put some logic in your workflow if this India user then add this new field.

  • Any difference between Master data and User master data ?

    Any difference between Master data and User master data ?

    hi
    A user master record defines the authorizations assigned to a user. Based on these authorizations one can access the master data.
    Master data - it is the data which is used long term in SAP r/3 system such as vendor master , material master, customer master,
    there is no such thing like user master data to the best of my knowledge
    hope this helps
