Mass update of AR departments 8.4 and above

We have had a restructure and are wanting to close a department code. However there are several hundred open items that point to this department. I am wanting to know if anyone else has figured out an online option to move the items from one department to another so that when they are paid/written off/credited that information goes to the new department not the old. As mentioned I am trying for a front end method, i have been looking at the possibility of using Mass change.
Thanks
Trish

You need to write PeopleCode to do these updates, mass update is not best option according to my experience.

  • How to MASS update LC data in BOM's and Routings

    Hello,
    Hello,
    I am using SAP APO where I need to use LPP Heuristics. I need to update LC Data. I tried to do it via batch input as I did not find any Function Module. I faced however a problem that I could not overcome.
    Initially field Maximum Prod. Length is display only. When I set a value to Length Calculation Method field then it becomes editable but entry is required. In this way it is impossible to update it in one step with the batch input method.
    Does anyone know how to overcome it?
    Thank you in advance,
    Angelos

    Ok...  Sorry, I thought I explained it better.
    I have 40K+ records that were extracted from a parent table into a "temporary table" called NRN_WEIGHTS.  Each has a primary key column, ADMIN_CN_FK, and two data columns.  SVEXPAND, and NVEXPAND.   ALL the data in this table was extracted from the parent table NRN_ADMIN, and then the NV/SVEXPAND records updated to current values.
    Now they want me to update all the parent table records so that they reflect the new values.
    Parent table = NRN_ADMIN   primary key is ADMIN_CN
    Child table = NRN_WEIGHTS  primary key (FK) is ADMIN_CN_FK
    So I have to essentially say in some kind of looped structure...
    for i in select admin_cn_fk from nrn_weights, update nrn_admin
    set nvexpand = (select nvexpand from nrn_weights where admin_cn_fk = i)
    svexpand =(select svexpand from nrn_weights where admin_cn_fk = i)
    Does that make more sense?
    As far as the create table goes, I didn't want to really be specific to this one instance to be honest.   This is something that I will be doing a lot, so I was hoping to approach it from a more generic approach.

  • Mass update for production and planned order MRP controller

    Hi Gurus,
    It's anyway possible to mass update MRP controller for Production orders and  Planned orders. If any please provide me step by step process.
    Thanks,
    B.Deethya.

    I feel You have changed the MRP controller in Material master and want to incorporate same in production order & plan order.
    For Planned order Run MRP with delete and recreate mode, system will create a new plan order with MRP controller in Material master
    For production order, Mass change is not possible, create a simple BDC or LSMW, And change the MRP controller

  • Mass update BSEG-XREF1

    Hi,
    Can anyone suggest FM or BAPI to mass update in BSEG-XREF1, BSEG-XREF2 and BSEG-XREF3 besides using BDC and FM FI_ITEMS_MASS_CHANG?
    I tried to avoid using tcode FB02 and that is the reason i don't want to use BDC and FM FI_ITEMS_MASS_CHANG.
    Thanks.
    Juli.

    I guess only BDC via transaction FB02 is the only way..

  • CRM Mass Update of RelationShip Data and other Fields

    Hello,
    I have to perform a mass Update on some Fields:
    VIP -> BUT051 -> Relationship
    FLG_NOUSE -> ADSMTP -> Address Data
    FLG_NOUSE -> ADTEL -> Address Data
    FLG_NOUSE -> ADFAX -> Address Data
    I've found already TX "MASS" and "MASSD" but those fields are not available.
    (Fortunately I could already use TX "Mass" for updates on Correspondence Language.)
    Thanks for your help
    Andreas

    Hi, You can prepare a list and use Menu -> Mass Update option to do the update. Limitation, per request it can update only 50 records. If there are more you have to do it recursively. Alternate solutions are to import, reset the value and export back or by writing a program using webservices. Hope it helps

  • Mass Update Column In Tabular Form

    Hi,
    I'm trying to create a tabular form that has a mass update column function. i.e. the tabular form will be displayed as normal but at the top of certain columns will be a text box or lov and what ever is entered into those boxes will be cascaded into the empty values in that column without refreshing the page.
    Hope that makes sense.
    I've search the forum but cant find reference, is this possible.
    Thanks Andy

    Hi,
    Just wondering if anyone had any thoughts on this.
    I can get the text to populate another cell e.g.
    http://mlw-mis-2/dev/apex/f?p=174:4
    But how can i get it to reference a column, this is what I'm using to reference another item
    onKeyUp="f_getTextUpper('P4_COL1','P4_TEXT')"
    and I've tried changing the P4_TEXT to other things like
    apex_application.g_f03 (vRow)
    apex_application.g_f03 (i)
    apex_application.g_f03
    But with no luck

  • Field BSEG-MANST. does not exist in the screen SAPMF05L 0301 in mass update

    Hi,
    I am trying to perform a mass update of dunning data (level and date) on some open items. Using the mass change function through FBL5N, I receive the error message, and the update is not performed. I cheched with the layout editor, but the fields appears in the mentioned screen. The field is also allowed for modification in customizing, for the company code. I was not able to find the dunning fields in the field status editor, in customizing.
    Any hint?
    Thanks
    Massimo

    thanks, but it doesn't apply.
    More relevant is note 322163 Line items: mass change 'Payment Method' BSEG-ZLSCH, but this refer to a program error, our release is more recent, and, furthermore, the dunning fields aren't available for change in FB02.

  • Is there a way to mass update or replace the SPM Firefighter IDs table?

    We are upgrading from GRC 5.2 to 5.3.  In 5.3 FF/SPM has added an Owners field to the FF ID table (/virsa/zffusers), which is apparently a required field because I keep getting a "Invalid Firefighter ID Owner" error when I try to look at the table.
    Is there a way to mass update, or perhaps import/replace, this table?  I am having problems trying to update this table thru the FF table screen.  When I go to save my changes, it will return the above error because not all of the FFID records have an assignment in this new Owners field.  We have over 160 FFIDs, so I can't change all of the records at the same time.  I can only get about 20 per screen and it will return that error again when I try to page forward.
    Thanks.

    Hi Bob,
    that is perfectly possible - did it a few times already.
    Export the table from within Firefighter, download the owners table (sorry, need to look up the name tomorrow - but you can't miss it), then add the owners through an Excel vlookup. Then re-import the table in Firefighter, and you're ste.
    I'm at home right now - if you have difficulties getting this done shoot me a message tomorrow and I'll send you more details.
    Frank.

  • Material Account Assignment Group, in Sales Order Mass Update

    Sd Experts,
    We just went live, our consultant updated Account assignment group at the material level but did not updated existing materials. When we caught the problem and updated exisisting materials there were some existing orders already created. Which now I am getting an account determination error due to this field being empty at the material level.
    We have some sales orders that I need to update but they are just too many, currently I have been fixing them thru VF02, for to the material and update manually.
    Does anyone has any idea how to mass update this field for all existing orders, to update "Account Assignment Group" field automatically
    Your help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi

  • Mass update of new house bank in the BP record

    Our client has switched banks.  We went in and added the new bank to the bank table and the house bank table.  We then changed the default bank in the Company Details and the Payment Methods.  The BP house banks were not changed as a result of this.  Although, when we changed the default in the Company Details, it asked if we wanted to update the BP's payment terms and we told it to continue.
    Is there to mass update the vendors with this new bank?  They have thousands of vendors, and if this isn't changed, the payment wizard does not work properly.  It moves all of these transactions to the Non-included area with a message that says the BP House Bank Account does not match the default.
    Any suggestions?

    You may use DTW to update DefaultBankCode for the BP.
    Thanks,

  • Mass Updating of Selected Rows

    (As you can see from my low number of posts I'm new to ApEx, so any information you can provide is appreciated.)
    Hi,
    I've been asked to include what I consider a heavy duty feature on a report. It has been requested that there is a form region above a report region. The form will have some fields on it to be used to mass update selected rows.
    For instance, let's say the report is a list of employees and their dept and the form has a dropdown dept field that contains a list of depts. They want to be able to select certain employees on the report, then select a dept from the form and then click an Update Rows button. They want the selected rows to be updated with the selected dept. * Also, they don't want the report to be editable. * The only way to update any rows is thru the Update Row button.
    I'm new to ApEx and can code in JavaScript, but am not an expert in either. And, I'm still trying to figure out what JavaScript syntax works in Element Attributes, etc. fields. But, I digress.
    I have looked over several threads, and went to several demo pages, and have learned some things. Hopefully they are correct. If not, please correct me.
    - Using the Row Selector is tricky.
    - You can get the Row Selector on a regular SQL report by changing it to Updateable SQL, adding the Row Selector type, and changing it back.
    - You can only see row information on a column if the column is editable.
    I now have a report that is NOT editable and has NO editable columns. And the report has the Row Selector. Also, the ID (key) of each row is the first column of each row. (It's a link field that populates another page.) With the ID I can populate the correct record. I'm thinking I need to populate the ID again in another column into a text field and then be able to access that value on the selected rows.
    Here's my dilemma. (That is, if I'm on the right track.) I need to know which rows are selected and then access the ID (key value) of that row. After that I can let my PL/SQL do the work.
    - - 1. How does the 2nd ID need to be defined such that people can't edit it, but the value can be retrieved? And, how is this done? I assume something can be put in the Element Attributes. If so, will you please provide the code?
    - - 2. What is the trick to knowing which rows are selected? An example snippet of code would be great here too.
    - - 3. Also, tell me if I'm on the wrong track and need to provide a solution in a different way.
    Sorry for the novel, but I wanted you to have a good idea of what I'm trying to accomplish so you may provide appropriate answers.
    Thanks much, Tony

    Hi Tony,
    check out the following threads:
    Re: Reference a value within a report????
    Re: MRU - trying to restrict UPDATE to only certain users - everyone INSERT
    BTW, you don't have to use any JavaScript. When you write your "Update pl/sql process" for the tabular form, just reference you page item which contains the department for your mass update.
    eg.
    FOR ii IN 1 .. Apex_Application.g_f01.COUNT
    LOOP
        UPDATE EMPLOYEES
          SET DEPARTMENT_ID = :P4_NEW_DEPARTMENT_ID
        WHERE EMPLOYEE_ID   = Apex_Application.g_f02(Apex_Application.g_f01(ii))
    END LOOP;Hope that gives you a direction how to solve that

  • Mass update of product master (lock material record)

    Hi! Does anyone know of any program that I can use to carry out mass update of product master in SRM? I am specifically looking at locking the materials. I originally intended to use LSMW and create a recording for it. However, the recording didn't work - when I clicked on the open button so that I can key in the product id, it returns back to the recording / LSMW transaction with the screen data. I did not even have a chance to proceed further.
    Any idea would be appreciated.
    Regards
    SF

    really . though you are ECS mode .
    material master must be there  right ?
    How your SRM PO will reflected ( indeed really creates in ECC i.e copy of srm PO).
    confusion here
    can you create a SC for local material and order a successful PO ?
    i know there is a product check in catalog web services - in SRM product master not necesary but your ECC must have material master right..

  • Mass updating a multi-valued field- to append the new value

    I have a question on multi-valued fields:
    I have store table with 5 multi-valued fields, say MLB, soccer, college FTBL, college Basketball, etc. 
    A store can have 4 MLBs, 2 soccer teams, and so on. 
    Say, there is a new MLB that came out called Mexico MLB team. 
    A user wanted to add this to 30 stores using a mass update.  But remember the 30 stores can have totally different sets of values in the multi-valued fields.
    How can I add this new value while still preserving the MLB team’s values of each store record?
    Does MDM not support this feature?
    I am using SAP MDM SP6
    An answer would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Savi

    Savi,
    I assume you are defined these fields as multi-value lookup and linked to main table. In general, you can not because it will mess up and overwrite your multi-value entries for all of your 30 store records.
    Here is something in MDM come in handy. It is following the same concept but design your model a little differently. If you model your multi-value fields into qualified lookup table, it will be easier and optimized to handle.
    You can select all 30 records and mass-update with adding the new MLB entry into your Q-lookup table. Once you save, this mass-update action will respect all your diversity of each individual records with the new value added.
    Hope this helps
    If this answers your question, please kindly reward the points.
    Regards
