Material Master Change Pointers/Distribution Model - any suggestions?

Dear All,
Hope everyone is doing good.. I have been trying to come up with a solution for the below issue, but didn't get any further. Your help is highly appreciated.
Initial Design:
Couple of years before we had a plant 123 and plant 456 where we need to send the materials. So we had specified these plants in Distribution Model and things worked fine.
First Problem
During testing what we have found out was, if some one changes MARA level, IDOC is being created but it's not being sent out of SAP system because the IDOC doesn't have 123 and 456 plants which the distribution model filtered it out and no data got sent to SAP PI.
Solution implemented:
After doing lot of analysis and research we have implemented solution as per the blog The specified item was not found.
Today's problem
There are couple of more plants we were supposed to send the data 789 and 678. The problem is if some one did a mass change on plant 456, the above solution implemented takes all the data(not the deltas) and pushing it out. Even though the change is only on 456 plant, we were unnecessarily sending the data to 789, 678 which is causing lot of problems.
Now we realize we shouldn't have gone with the solution mentioned above, because it's not applicable in my scenario.
Does anyone handled this kind of scenarios in the past, if so can you please shed some lights?
Thanks,
Raj

Hi Raj,
  As per my experience what you had already implemented, that is absolutely correct. I don't think there is any alternative to send the data as a whole (I understood if you are not sending the Plant data, how the middle ware filter them).
  Now your requirement is if you make some mass changes in the materials which are extended different plants other than 456 plant, we have to restrict them. To restrict the outbound Idocs for MATMAS. you can use the Filter option in BD64 (Distribution Model). Here after creating the Filter Group, you can edit LOV for Plants.
  Once your mass changes transmission is over, you can remove this.
  Hope this will work, at least you can give a try...............

  • Material Master Change Pointers problem

    I have set up an ALE distribution model that creates IDocs when a material is changed, but I also need to create an IDoc when the material is created, and so far the system is not doing that.
    I think that I need to configure the system somewhere to do this, but I don't know where to do this.
    Could anybody advise?
    Kind Regards,
    Tony.

    Hi,
    You need to maintain the Distribution model in BD64 , in the same way how you have maintained for change in material master.
    Create the model View
    add the Message type MATMAS , Give the sender & receiver system.
    After saving the Model , Distribute the model so that it gets replicated in the receiver system.

  • How to trigger Material CIF change pointers when changing Source List

    I need to trigger a Material Change pointer (CIFMAT) creation when the Source List is updated for that material.  In BD52 (ALE configuration) table EORD is not an option for CIFMAT message type, so by standard ALE this can not be done automatically.  I could not find any BAdI/Userexit which will help me to create a material master change pointer so that the Material (Product) will be sent to APO via the CIF when the Source List in R/3 is changed.

    Hi , Can you please check user exit CIFMAT01 function module EXIT_SAPLCMAT_001.You can use this enhancement to influence the logic according to which material data from SAP R/3 is mapped to APO product interface data.
    I suggest to put logic in user exit to check table source list table EORD changes & trigger CIF for material master.You can pull  change data from table CDPOS using EORD table reference & material object value details.
    Based on change record CIF user exist should trigger material CIF run and feed to APO.
    Hope this solution will work in your case.thanks

  • Reg : material master change history

    Hi All.
    I am changing the value of the material master characterstic assigned to class under the classification TAB of material master.
    I want to extract the last chaged date of the characterstic value.
    The material master change history ( Table CDHDR)  is not reflecting the changes done to the characterstic value.
    Can anybody please suggest me how can i extract the change history of the characterstic value of a given class for a given material.
    Thanks
    Vijay

    Hi
    If a field is changed in any transaction with a new values those changes are recorded in CDHDR and CDPOS tables with the field name, Transaction name and field old and new values, changed by and date etc
    So you have to fetch the change data history from those tables passing the
    OBJECT CLAS = MATERIAl and the Objectid = Material no and fetch the data from CDHDR first and then for all entries of CDHDR fetch the data from CDPOS and use the data and required fields

  • Material master changes - approval

    Hi ,
    Is there any way that material master changes can will go to approving manager as we have MI20 used to approve stock take changes.
    Please suggest.
    thanks

    Hi,
    No. MI20 is different because it is posting a difference in costs, so this is how it can be approved.
    You should instead restrict change authorisation of material master to key users.
    Thanks.

  • Material master change report

    I've been asked to created a program for material master changes that will run nightly and send an e-mail if any field on any material number has changed that day.  I've checked into MM04 and MM44 but both run for a single material only.  Is there any report that will run for all materials and give the change records?  I'm trying to explore all options before writing a custom report.
    Thanks!

    see OSS note 336668, it describes a modification to MM04 which fulfills your requirement.

  • Material Master Change Documents

    We have currently added additional fields to MARA and I am trying to add the changing of these new fields to the Material Master Change Documents.  Does anyone know how I can accomplish this?

    Dear Khrista,
    I hope you are looking for change documents that would be generated whenever specific field value changes when you change material master. It would be stored in CDHDR and CDPOS.
    One way is to add custom fields to be considered is to implement a proper BAdi/Enhancement.
    Please check this sample program from other thread to find BADI and enhancement for a given transaction code. You just need to create a custom program in your system by cut and paste below codes.

    Alternatively, you can do the following:
    1. For what ever transaction u want the enhancement .. just check for the System-->status (menu) and find out the PROGRAM name....
    2. Double click on to the program name and go inside the program (Abap editor)
    3. Search for "Call Customer-function " ... and u'll get some search results .. If u get results then u have enhancement in that tcode .....
    4. Then it actually calls a Function module .... copy the Function module name .... go to SE80 (object navigator) click on "Repository Information system" then Customer Enhancements .... Give the Function module name in the "Components" field and click Execute ....
    ull get a list of Enhancements related to that Componene....
    5. Choose which ever enhancement will suit ur business need ..
    6. Go to CMOD... create a project .... assign ur enhancement ... and then code ur logic.... activate ur enhancement in CMOD ....... Ur Buisness need will be solved...
    For a user exit......
    Finding whether there is any User Exit or not for tcode VA42
    1. For what ever transaction u want the user exit .. just check for the System-->status (menu) and find out the PROGRAM name.... ( The program name would be for our scenario "SAPMV45A" )
    2. Double click on to the program name and go inside the program (Abap editor)
    3. Search for the word "USEREXIT" .... u ll find all the user exits in the search result .. and find ur's then ...
    Hope this will help.

  • BAPI or FM to do scheduled(planned) material master change

    If this is has been asked and answered before I apologize in advance.  Sorry, but I can't seem to find it.
    I am quite happy with using fm BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA.  But as far as I am aware, this does an immediate change only.  I am trying to find a similar FM to schedule material master changes like can be done with transaction MM12.
    Do you know of FM to do this?
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    I would suggest you perform the BDC recording for the transaction ME52 istead of the ME52N, as it wil be easy to record and perform the necessary updates later.
    AS for the FM to be used you can useFM 'ME_UPDATE_REQUISITION'  field ' PLIFZ (Planned delivery time in days) ' from the structure UEBAN (Change Document Structure; Generated by RSSCD000)
    Hope it helps

    when you opened the shared library with the newer version of iPhoto (iPhoto '11) you were given a warning that your library would be converted and could not be used by older versions - you clicked ok to go ahead - there is no updo available - either upgrade to iphoto '11 of the MBP or load your backup of the iPhoto '09 library on it - older versiopns of i{Photo can not read newer libraries

  • Accessing material master change information

    We have a requirement to pull all changes to material master records by month.  I know that I can hit the CDHDR and CDPOS tables using CHANGEDOCUMENT_READ_HEADERS and CHANGEDOCUMENT_READ_POSITIONS functions to pull this; however our change tables are so huge that the program is timing out.  Running in background does not work either because the spool request only shows a few of the pages (10, I think) where the document is actually over a thousand printed pages.   I can't email the spool request either because the file is too large. 
    My question is...is there an infostructure that only contains material master changes (as opposed to all changes as in the CDHDR and CDPOS tables?)  I know that when you go into MM03 and view materail master changes they pull up really quickly.  Is this program hitting something else rather than the CDHDR and CDPOS tables?  How do they pull up so quickly even if there are many changes.
    Thanks in advance.

    That's the beauty of having the option to debug a program. Wondering how SAP reads the data fast: go debug!

    Hi,
    For making Material Master change  with ECN mandatory you need to activate ECM.

  • Work Flow Trigering based on Material Master change

    Dear All
    Any suggestion to trigger a work flow when the procuremnt key in the material master is changed.
    We are facing the problem of not informing all the relavent parties when the planner changes the <b>procurement key from F to E or vice versa</b>.
    Also the spec. <b>procurement key changed to 30, 50 etc.,</b>
    Because the information is not flown to other relevant sections, the whole master data in in a mess and MRP proposals are greatly affected.
    On top of that MRP proposal are not used because of this.
    Please reply
    Thanks

    Hi Raj,
    have you looked in the event trace, when this change has been made? It should give you a CHANGED event, that you can start your workflow on. TX for start event trace is SWELS and look into the trace is SWEL.
    When you design your workflow enter a start condition, only to react on a change to the procurement key.
    I think there is an example almost identical to this in the BIT601 material.
    Kind regards
    Mikkel

  • Material master change access for a particular field

    Dear Experts,
    Can any one suggest me the posibility of doing the folliwing change.
    Client needs to give the access to a user for MM02 transaction for updating only one field.
    In Material master -- Plant data/Storage 1 view, there is a field called storage bin.  (if we mention storagle location then only this field will be populated), user has to allowed to change this field only, he should not allowed to change the ramining fields in that view.
    Please suggest me the posibilities for the above issue.

  • Most use ful t code for Material Master changing

    Dear All,
    Can any one give me most useful T-codes for create, change and display material master.
    I have one T-code which is very useful for material master it is "MM50". With help of this tcode you can see material extend detail and also you can delete mass material with help of this tcode.
    So please use it and also give me other this type of tcodes.
    Regards,
    Mahesh Wagh

    Hi,
    MM17, LSMW, MM50 --- These are the 3 main transactions which is used frequently to Mass change the  Material master.
    There is one more option is there using BDC Upload.
    Batch Data Communication or BDC is a batch interfacing technique that SAP developed. It is mainly used for uploading data into the SAP R/3 system. BDC works by simulating the user input from transactional screen via an ABAP program.
    The data input data file will come in the form of a flat file which the user save as file type txt file or prn file from the Microsoft Excel program. An Abaper will create a program to read the text file and upload into the SAP system.
    Transaction -- SHDB will be used to record the change material master. After, the simulation, the Abaper can generate a sample program and modify from there. It makes the programming easier and faster.
    For a BDC upload you need to write a program which created BDC sessions.
    hope you got it. Take a help of  ABAPer for this BDC Upload.
