Mass Change to Custom1 Alias

A client wants to update all of its Alias conventions for Custom1 members. There are hundreds of members in the dimension so I am looking for the easiest way to make the mass change. I know I can extract the current metadata in APP format and dump into Excel, make changes there and then reload.
Is there a more efficient way of doing this? Also, is there anything to consider when doing this, like potentially messing anything up?

Dumping into Excel and upload should be the safest and most efficient option.
If you are using the metadata for HFM only, it should be safe.
The only common issues i can forsee is that if you have Smartview reports, these will no more refresh with the right POV as the descriptions in the application and reports no more match.
If you are using the alias for Essbase and the the scripts are written using description, you have an uneviable task ahead :)

Service Desk - need IB52 iBase "partner assignment" mass change

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
We are using SAP Service Desk in Solution Manager 7.0 EhP-1.
There are many satellite systems connected to SolMan using Service Desk.
Of course all of them are setup in SMSY, have a valid iBase entry in IB52, and have the "sold-to-party" assigned in IB52 -> Goto -> Partner.
Now we need to assign a new business partner as "sold-to-party" for all these systems.
We do not want to rename the current business partner, but have to assign a new business partner to not influence existing tickets.
Thus, manually we would need to go to IB52 and change the partner assignment in IB52 -> Goto -> Partner and enter a new value for all the systems.
Q: is there a way to perform a mass change for the "sold-to-party" partner assignment of the iBase entries? Is it possible to update or replace all or multiple existing partner assignments in iBase?
Many thanks,
Peter

Hi Christian,
Can you please tell me how did you create iBase for NON-SAP Systems? I know it is IB51/IB52? I am not sure what do you do after that? For an example I went to IB51 and create iBase number 403? now I go to IB52 and put the 403 in the installed Base field and click on Green arrrow to go inside correct? what do I do after that? where is the options to create the iBase name call "Network Group" ?
How did you solve your issue for not showing when you went to F4 in NOTIF_CREATE? was that authorization error? if yes, do you know the object name?
any help is much much appreciated
Thanks in Advance

How to change the application alias for a web project in NW7.2

Hi,
a simple question, but I could not manage to solve it: How do I change the application alias (the url) of a web project? I'm using Netweaver 7.2 and all the tutorials I found refer to earlier versions and do not work anymore.
In particular, I would like to change e.g. "server.com/vendor~webbappname" (the standard url of the web project) to "server.com/mywebapp".
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi,
Try customizing the <context-root> element in the web.xml deployment descriptor, for example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ASCII"?>
<application xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
           xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
           xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee
          http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/application_5.xsd"
           version="5">
           <display-name>YourWebApp</display-name>
           <module>
               <web>
               <web-uri>YourWebApp.war</web-uri>
               <context-root>mywebapp</context-root>
          </web>
     </module>
     <module>
          <ejb>YourWebAppEjb.jar</ejb>
     </module>
</application>
Afterwards, rebuild and redeploy your application.
I hope that helps.

Separate TCode for Mass Change of documents (For authorization purpose)

Hi
We have internal audit function where internal audit chief will remove the payment block of multiple vendor invoices through FBL1N --> Environment --> Mass Change.
Now problem is that authorization for FBL1N is given to 6 more employees (related to AP Accounting). Hence all these employees can do the mass change. I want to restrict this mass change authorization only to one person i.e. internal audit chief.
Please tell me how to bring this restriction.

Hi:
You should contact your basis guy to do so...In tab authorization first you will have to find this object he system will display it , there you can assign 03 in place of *.
Personally i will recommend you should go for creating transaction variant using SHD0 which is an easy way to do so. Please check it will solve your issue. I just did both in test sever both of them are working perfect for me. Mass button is disabled when you set 03 for F_BKPF_KOA. SHD0 meets the subject topic of your post.

Contract Mass change enhancement in SRM 7.0

Hi Experts,
We are using SRM 7.0 & implementing new Contract mass change functionality for header P.Org. & P. Group data. I have created a Web Dynpro Component (with View similar to /SAPSRM/WDC_UI_AO_CT_MC_D), & implemeted a BADI /SAPSRM/CTR_MC_BADI & added an entry in Table BBPV_CTR_MASSOP.
After selecting the change method i am getting the error "View O_V_PURCH does not exist in the component YWDC_UI_AO_CTR". Actually, O_V_PURCH is an outbound plug of the WEb Dynpro Component. I am not sure why this eror is coming.
Could you please help me out in this. That will be a great help.
FYI - I am using Operational Contract Configuration document as reference.
Thanks & Best Regards,
Vishnu

Hi Azad,
Thanks for the reply.
I checked that the outbound plug is linked to the Window correctly. I do not understand why the plug is considered as a view.(as per the error message"
Thanks & Best Regards,

Sales Order Material and its MOQ mass change

*The issue is related to our Spare parts Ordering process in our company.*
We have a concept of having 65 days of back orders. Hence there will be
lot many open orders in the system.
The Material code will be changed from (for eg) M01 to M02. Hence forth the Material (M01) ordered will
automatically changed to M02 through Material determination logic. But
for the 65 days back orders, it is very difficult to change the
material one by one in sales order. There may be more than 100 orders
for a material. Even if the MASS change option in Transaction VA05
doesn't address because of the following reasons;
1. The changed new material (M02) may have new price with new validity
periods, whereas the back orders will have old pricing dates. Its
difficult to change individually in the open orders.
2. Some materials may have partially delivered.
Similar to ECM changes, there will be MOQ changes which also needs to
be changed individually the order quantity in the old Open orders.
For example,
Initially the MOQ for a material in 10. Order inflow has happened based
on this MOQ.
Now if the MOQ is changed to 20, future orders are addressed. But for
the 65 day back orders, we need to manually open the individual sales
order and change the order quantity.
Hence we require a mass change option for the open orders as below:
1. For Material Changes (M01 to M02), I will give the list of orders and
the line items and Qty for M01. The program should reject the existing
line item for M01. An additional line item should be created with M02.
Also the pricing date should be changed.
2. For MOQ changes, I will give the list of orders and the line items
and Qty. The program should reject the existing line item for those
materials. An additional line item should be created with new Qty.
If the material is partially delivered, the the existing qty should be
updated to the extent it is delivered and the remaining qty should be
updated with new material or New MOQ.

You can use BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE.
1. Get the SO detail using BAPISDORDER_GETDETAILEDLIST.
2. MODIFY the ORDER_CFGS_* internal tables and update.
        CALL FUNCTION 'BAPISDORDER_GETDETAILEDLIST'
          TABLES
            order_cfgs_value   = gt_char
            order_cfgs_ref       = gt_char_ref
            order_cfgs_inst      = gt_char_ins.
        MODIFY gt_cfgs_*.
        CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE'
         TABLES
            order_cfgs_value   = gt_char
            order_cfgs_ref       = gt_char_ref
            order_cfgs_inst      = gt_char_ins.
Refer SAP note 549563.

Mass change of payment in customer line item for all open line item.

Hello,
We have updated the new payment as per the new agreement with customer in customer master. We want this new payment term should also be updated in all the open invoices which are not cleared. Is there are way we can do the mass change in Payment term as the open line item in the customer where line item are more than 50. Please let me know the transaction code for the mass change of payment term in Customer account balances.
Thanks and Regards,
Rajesh Kumar Mantri

Hi
you can find the way to change the payment terms
first check weather the payment term field is having change option in your document change rules in the line item for you customers.
Financial Accounting (New)Financial Accounting Global Settings (New)DocumentRules for Changing DocumentsDocument Change Rules, Line Item
if the payment term BSEG-ZTERM(payment term) is there for your customer and having deselcted check box for changing document you cannot change payment term for your company code.
This can done client level or company code level.
if the payterm can be changed you do changes to payment terms mass level.
Thanks

Validation not working during Mass Change of Vendor Line Items

Hi All,
I created validation for Reference Key 1 field of Vendor line items, in this validation i used customized user exit.
Whenever i select multiple line items in FBL1N for mass change & try to put a unauthenticated value system gives error as per Validation only for 1 st item but it not work for subsequent items & put the unauthenticated value in subsequent line items.
I am not able to understand why Validation is working only for 1st line item during mass change & not for subsequent line items.
Please provide your suggestions in resolving this issue.
Thanks
sandeep

Hello Sandeep,
I understand your issue. First check if the changes as per the SAP Note 640908 (https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=640908) is available in your system.
Actually, Mass changes call FB02 in background and at this stage Validation gets activated and hence, the control doesn't go back for the next item changes. You can test this by deactivating the Validation and then the mass changes will me fine.
I hope this explains the behaviour.
Thanks and regards,
Suresh Jayanthi.

Mass change of Vendor Line Items Payment Terms

Hi all
We are trying to make a mass change of payment terms for vendor line items. We have implemented the change required as per SAP note 640908. However when we try to do this not all payment terms are changed.
The log gives us the following error - 'Field BSEG-ZTERM. does not exist in the screen SAPMF05L 1302'.
Please how can we solve this error.
Many thanks
PRG

Hi,
According to note 640908:
" Notes on error handling:
    If the mass change does not occur as required even though you
    changed and activated all program parts, note that the error log
    for the mass change (Environment -> Mass change -> Error log of
    line item list) may contain useful information for error
    handling."
" Note: SAP cannot guarantee that the modified mass change will work
correctly even if you carry out all of the steps as described in the
manual tasks."
It is not planned to enter the payment terms by using of
the field payment term ZTERM but by using of the fields ZBD1T/ZBD1P and
ZBD2T/ZBD2P and ZBD3T.
With Best Regards,
Gladys Xing

Mass-change in scheduling agreement

Hi Gurus,
today I wanted to do a mass change in scheduling agreements using transaction MASS.
Unfortunately, it seems not to be possible to change these agreements with MASS. I found SAP Note # 483303 which tells us that MASS is only able to change documents with VBAK-VBTYP = 'C'.
The scheduling agreements use VBAK-VBTYP = 'E' or VBAK-VBTYP = 'F'.
Does anyone have a workaround for this? In the meantime I'll set up a LSMW, this should work fine.
Thanks
Ralf

Yes you are correct, you can't use MASS to update scheduling agreements. As you mentioned, use LSMW or you can try using SCAT/BDC to update the documents.

Copying and Mass Changing of Legal Controls on Material Masters

I have just set up in our DEV system, the Legal controls on the Material Master . . . The Legal Regulation, the Export control class and the Grouping. We do not have Foreign Trade turned on, but we wanted a place to store this information . . . to help when documents are generated.   My question(s) now are, when our users create Material Masters in most cases they create in reference to another material. I tried this with what I set up, and it will not copy those fields . . . is there a way it can copy . . .something in configuration that will allow this? And, also our users require a large amount of data to be changed sometimes and these fields possibly fall into that requirement, and I was looking for a way to Mass Change, but I am not able find those fields on the available Mass Change tables . . . I believe I need MAEX . . . Is there a way to Mass Change?

Hello Diane,
There are two things, which have to be done :
-The first thing of course is, that for the fields involved the field :
"Propose Field Content from the Reference" must be set in transaction OMSR.
- The second is, that the user have to enter this screen, because if she/he don't display this screen, then it is technically not possible to copy the reference values.
Hope this can help !!!

Mauro
