Mass Maintenance of Rules in APO

Hello Experts,
I would like to know if there is any way we can do mass maintenance of rules in GATP. Usually we do it manually via /sapapo/rba04 but if we have more then 250 rules to create with different combination. What is the way? Have anybody developed any tool for this purpose. Would appreciate if anybody can give some ideas on this.
Thanks
Karan

Hello Karan,
We developed a tool with 2 screens.
Screen 1 had the list of radio buttons with the radio text that says the fields or level of the condition table in which the rule is to be created. After selecting this radio button, in the same screen; all the fields of this condition table will become mandatory and user has to enter the values in the selection fields which is at the bottom next to radio buttons list.
After executing the above screen, system calls up the second screen where you're supposed to give the details of the product1 and product 2 that is being substituted with each and other and you should also provide the rule control. Upon saving this screen, system executes the logic to create a supersession chain between these two products and in turn it creates a interchangeability group which finally creates a rule and the name of the rule is displayed in the output screen.
Hope this helps

What are the views/fields that we can't change by Mass maintenance of MMR(material master record)?

Hello friends,
I would like to know the fields/views that we can not change by using mass maintenance of MMR if there are open PO for that particular material in concern. Likewise there was a question in SAP certification exam having options: "base unit of measure", "material type" and so on....

in general you can change any field that can be changed in MM02. if the field is grayed then you cannot. e.g. if you make use a MRP profile. and in this profile the maintenance of those fields is disabled then you cannot do it MM17 either.

Custom fields not getting updated in Mass Maintenance-MM17

Hi,
I have created a custom field in MARC table and the data is getting updated to the MARC table through MM01/MM02 but it is not getting updated by MM17. I have checked the notes 44410, 576160, 414020 and 116311. I have done the following changes as per the sap notes.
1. Created a custom segment ZE1MARCM by copying the standard segment E1MARCM and added the custom field in that
    segment.
2. I have extended the IDOC 'MATMAS03' and added the custom segment ZE1MARCM to E1MARAM.
3. Created a new entry in we82 and provided the extension type 'ZMATMAS03' and release '701'.
4. Adjusted the partner profile in we20 for matmas with port and providing the extension idoc type.
5. Added the custom field in the table MASSFLDLST.
6. Implemented the code in BADI 'MG_MASS_NEWSEG' and exits 'EXIT_SAPLMV01_002' , 'EXIT_SAPLMV02_002' as per the
    sap notes.
The custom field is not getting updated through mass maintenance. Please let me know if i have missed anything?
Thanks,
Geeta

I had this same question several years ago. Please check my answer at Initialize MARC Custom Fields Using MM17 Does Not Work

Analysis Authorization mass maintenance

Hi All,
During the migration, due to Complexity of our complex BW 3.5 authorization setup we are end up in BI 7 New Design where we have to maintain new Cube to more than 150 Analysis Authorizations each time when we have new Cubes comes.
Do you guys know any method where you can update the new cube to large no of Analysis Authorization (for ex 150) instead of doing manually? Due to complexity of the old design itu2019s very difficult for us to change the new design.
Looking forward for expert opinion.
BR,
Deepak

Hi,
As per my knowledge, it is always recommended to maintain the Analysis authorizations individually. However, you may refer the below thread:

Creation of New T-Code for mass maintenance of SA

SAP currently does not have a facility to mass-maintain schedule agreements. The business alone has over 16,000 schedule agreement lines. Manual maintenance is very time consuming.
There are some key items of data that can require amendent for a particular vendor. The new program would permit the maintenance of:
Planned delivery time                EKPO-PLIFZ
GR proc Time                           EKPO-WEBAZ
Firm Zone                                EKPO-ETFZ1
Trade off Zone                          EKPO-ETFZ2
Binding Grp                             EKPO-KZSTU
Conf Control Key                     EKPO-BSTAE
Vendor Material number           EKPO-IDNLF
Stock type                              EKPO-INSMK
Creation profile                        EKPO-ABUEB
approach from my functional consultant:
basically i want to update the fileds on a screen of   tcode : memasspo (mass maintenance of purchase orders )
if i select pur ord item in the initial screen,
it allows me to enter pur doc values and item values
after that
if i select fields symbol button on left side
and i can select fields which i have to be updated in the right side in the Popup screen
if i choose fields they will come along with pur doc and item in the screen
My question is :
pur doc and item values with additional fields data is available in the flat file that should be updated
pl let me know the approach to upload whether i go for eigther BDC or BAPI
Note :
i can update for newly added fields in the user defined SAP Screen itself for porders
but if i enter the purchasing doc as scheduling agreement no it wont allow you to update
i need to update for Scheduling agreements ?

Thanks in advance

Hi Hariprasad,
If restricting certain fields using field selection option is not suitable for you, you can go ahead with the option Screen Variend

[Maintenance View] Mass maintenance of Z-Table

Hi,
I was wondering what were the options when dealing with mass maintenance of Z-table entries.
SM30 is OK for maintenance view but you cannot process more than a given number of lines (34 entries or so) per page.
Ideally, it should be possible to enter data from Excel file of even clipboard.
SE16N is great for this since it allows pasting of clipboard data but it does not work with maintenance views (it switches to the SM30 dynpro).
Besides, if I create a database view, it is not possible to save entries because it joins several table together (even if I only need additional fields for display only).
I tried the FM 'SE16_INTERFACE' but it dumps with an CX_SY_DYNAMIC_OSQL_SEMANTICS error (SAPSQL_NO_DBTAB_OR_VIEW). (you can only query table or database view but no maintenance view)
Thanks in advance for your ideas/advice.
Best regards,
Guillaume

Hi,
Developing a generic tool won't take much time probably 6 hours at an experience level of 2+ years!!!
Once you develop you can use it for ever.
What all you need to do is create a field-symbol of type standard table. Get the table name and the file from the selection screen.
Create a dynamic internal table with reference to the table name entered in the selection screen. Upload the data and update the database.
Limitations in the design:
1. File should be in correct format and with the correct data. (Specific validations can't be done)
2. Table maintenance events can't be tackled.
eg: On entering the material number, Material description should automatically come.
Creating BDC for SM30 is ok. But this works only at a table level. We may not be able to make it generic as the screen field names changes based on table name.
So think and choose the right approach!!!
All the best:)
Thanks,
Vinod.

Restrict change authorization for MM17 (Material master mass maintenance)

Hi,
Apologies if I have posted this in the wrong forum. I want to know if it is possible to use the mass maintenance transaction MM17 (indus. material) to display data only istead of change/create. Is there some setting at the basis object level which can enable this? There are currently a lot of custom abap reports and queries in our system for viewing material master data, these can all be replaced by MM17. Basically we want to use MM17 as a reporting tool to display data only. Is a solution possible? Help is appreciated, thanks.
Regards

Have you tried the MM Information System node in the SAP Easy Access menu? There are a bunch of standard reports with navigation options there, for the user who has the correct authorization to display only.
Alternately, you may want to take a look into transaction MASS and use the B_MASSMAIN object, depending on your requirements - but test it well.
Cheers,
Julius

Mass Maintenance will recognize any customer record in workflow process

Hi gurus,
Please help me on the Workflow process, how to handle below workflow scenario, is there any logic be hand this.
please see in BOLD workflow issue.
1.2     As-Is Business Process
Currently Data Maintenance teams use standard SAP transaction XD07 to change Customer Account Groups. The standard transaction XD07 allows only one Customer Account Group to be changed at a time. The process is to be manually repeated for every customer. After the Account Group is changes in the request client (X07(10)), an RFC call is made to the BOR client (X07(20)) and then to the transaction client (X08(10)) to change the Customer Account Group as the SAP ALE process does not support Account Group Changesu2026
1.3     To-Be Business Process
From time to time, bulk customer data updates will be needed. This can be the result of business situations that cause multiple updates to be performed for given customer fields such as Customer Account Group field. A new program must be developed to let the user mass update the Customer Account Group field (KNA1-KTOKD). The Program should be accessed on demand using a new T.Code (YMDM_ACCTGRP_CHG).
Business users will submit a spreadsheet in the appropriate upload format to CDM along with written approval from the Food Service data owner to execute the upload in P07. CDM will execute the upload, record all documentation for the audit change log and notify the submitter when complete
1.4     To-Be Business Process Flow Diagram
1.5     Enhancement Functionality
The following are the requirements:
u2022     This tool will enable a user to perform bulk update to the customer account group field.
u2022     The utility should let the user upload a u201CTab delimitedu201D file to mass update the Account Group field.
u2022     The Load File will have 3 columns, Customer Number (KNA1-KUNNR), Current Account Group (KNA1-KTOKD) and New Account Group (KNA1-KTOKD).
u2022     The Program must utilize the process behind the standard SAP transaction XD07 to change customer Account Groups in X07(10).
u2022     The standard customer ALE (DEBMAS) process does not support Customer Account Group changes, so the mass change program must use the RFC functionality to change he Account Groups in the BOR (X07(20)) and Transaction system (X08(10)).
u2022     Workflows for all updates performed using this T.Code are automatically approved. No manual approval steps will be needed after data load.
u2022     Mass Maintenance will recognize any customer record that has an open workflow. If a customer record is already in the request queue, it is u201Coff limitsu201D for any bulk update. That update request to that particular customer record must be rejected.
u2022     Provide the option to run the process in validation mode and update mode.
u2022     Report all hard and soft legacy field errors on a validation report. All u201Chardu201D legacy field validations should be passed before allowing update mode to run.
u2022     The upload process will produce an error log for all records not loaded into the system.

I have a need to enable this program which was delivered in one of the enhancement packs. We have thousands of maintenance plans that need to be modified.
A couple of questions:
1) how do I activate as little as possible to allow me to use this program
2) With this enhancement activated, am I going to be putting myself on a new support pack line.

hi,
I just know go to transaction SFW5 to check whether all components required for the operation of system are activated (switched on). But I do not know exactly which component is affected for this function.
Hope it helps.

Pinku.

HI ,
check note 487111.
According to this note
Symptom
In the planning data mass maintenance (MPGD_MASS), you select the "Conversion" field (UMREF) and enter the new value e.g. '2,01' and save the change. In the log of the mass maintenance, the system issues error
MK101:
....... : Messages have been issued: number MASS............
Detailed display of error message:
Message number BF 020
Value cannot be interpreted as a floating-point number. Other terms
Reason and Prerequisites
The problem is caused by a program error.
The symptom occurs if during the maintenance of your own user profiles, you defined "Comma" for the decimal notation (Transaction SU3).
Due to a program error, the system saves the value of the field to be changed program-internally in the exponential display with "Point" as the decimal place (2.01E+00).
Solution :
You have implement the solution mentioned in the note .

Mass maintenance and BDC Recodring of custom fields added in PO header.

Hello Experts,
I have created a custom fields in PO header and used Structure for BADI implementation to update the header with values enterd in custom table.
My requirement is for some selected PO i want to fix the value of one of my custom field at header level.
I have tried both the options Mass maintenance and BDC recording but the issue i'm facing is when i go for mass maintenance it is giving me the ERROR and it seems that we can only do the mass maintenance for sap-standard fields only.
When i go for BDC recording i'm facing the issue that when i do SHDB and start recording for ME22N my custom field is coming grayed out and i'm not able to input the desired value in custom field and complete my recording.
Let me know your valuable inputs .
Thanks,
Naveen

Hello,
Instead of BDC i'm doing it through the BAPI   "BAPI_PO_CHANGE" by populating the structure extensionin but here i'm facing the error as below:-
