The requirement is to copy a list of Material Master available in a specific client to a different client within the same system.
How to perform this activity with minimal manual intervention. Please give the solution in Detail.
(The Business scenerio is that, So for certain list of materials were procured & handled in specific Client. Now the same materials are now going to be handled in different client within the same System.)

Hello Naveen,
If the connection is available (test with SM59 + Connection identifier),
after choosing your Connection you can test the connection:
you might find the idocs with the daate when they where sent in SM58:
The message says in this case there was no service, there might also be other errors like "wrong password" and so on.
After solving the error, you can restart sending the idoc from this screen.
Hope this helps .

Material master vs. Client?????????

Hi,
Here is a question I need a logic for it.
On material master, what organizational level is the divison at?
Answer is "Client" in one of sample certification questions.
Can someone explain this?
Thank you very much.
H

Hi HK, AK, MK.
The term 'client' means that the division of a material is maintained at a client level and it cannot have more than one division in that client. This is unlike customer master where division is below sales org. It means that one customer master can be extended to multiple divisions (by extending to multiple sales areas).
But a material always belongs to a division unlike customer who can purchase products of multiple divisions. So it can have only one division in any client.

Two MI Clients running on the same system

Hi All,
I have a MI Client running on my desktop.
I want to install another MI Client without uninstalling it i.e. I want to have two running fully functional MI Clients on my desktop.
Is this possible, how do I do it?
Ankur
(Both MI Client are of the same SP level)
(I tried to rename the existing MI root folder and then running the setup.exe of MI client, then I cut&pasted the whole MI root folder into my D drive and then tried running the setup.exe - both times when I ran the setup.exe it asked first to Remove my current installation... )

Hi Ankur,
Please follow the instructions mentioned in the following guide to achieve what you wish to do.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/fecd11da-0801-0010-0da2-ffee3d04684f
Best Regards
Sivakumar
PS: Forgot to mention one additional stuff. I you plan to run both the clients simultaneous, then you need to change the tomcat port on the client since two clients cannot share the same port. To change the port of the client do the following.
Under your MI home folder go to "CONF" directory and open "server.xml" file and in here change the following value from 4444 to any other value. (4444 is the default port)
<Parameter name="port" value="<YOUR NEW PORT NO>"/>
Similiarly add the following properties in the MobileEngine.config file present in the SETTINGS folder of MI Client.
MobileEngine.Runtime.Port = <YOUR NEW PORT NO>
MobileEngine.Jsp.HomeUrl = http://localhost:<YOUR NEW PORT NO>/
Add a file named port.txt in the MI Home folder and in it mention <YOUR NEW PORT NO> without any other values.

View data in client B from client A in the same SID without a valid logon?

Hi Folks
We are planning on upgrading our 4.6C system to ERP 6.0, and are initialy considering having two clients in the same sandbox SID. One would be for the developers to perform code remediation checks (client A), and one would contain a copy of production data for performing testing of functionality over live data (client B).
Would it be possible to view data in client B from client A in the same system without a valid logon to client B or RFC connection to client B from client A? For example via the use on an ABAP program to SQL the database?
I know one can use transactions like SM30/SM31 to view, compare, and adjust data between clients, but this requires an RFC connection and valid logon to the target client.
Regards
Kevin.

Short answer: yes.
If someone has the right to write and execute ABAP reports on the system he is able to access the data of all clients. So I don't think that this setup is advisable. Don't mix development and production data in one system.

Copy of Batch characteristics value from material master to Batch

Hi Gurus,
I have maintained some values in the characteristics under batch classification in material master and want to copy the values in batch characteristics during batch creation at process order release.
Can any one help me to achieve this in standard way?
Thanks
Sandip

Hi,
Try to understand the batch classification functionality...In batch classification characteristic values changes from batch to batch...Values should not be maintained in the material master...it does not have any meaning...in the material master we need to assign only the batch class with class type 023 in classification view ...no need to assign the values there....Batch classification means characteristics values differs from batch to batch...
Thanks

Copy Material Master data - cannot copy "Proportion/Prod.Unit" view

Hello,
When I try to create material master data using the "Copy from..." option, data from the "Proportion/Prod.Unit" view is not copied to the new material. We are using SAP for Mill products.
Any clues?
Regards,
Joao

Hello Joao,
There are two things, which have to be done :
The first thing of course is, that for the field MARA-KZWSM 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 he
don't display this screen, then it is technically not possible to
copy the reference values.
(To copy this data from the reference material you have to go to the
subscreen SAPLMWSM 8030 and press enter).

Mauro

Update new material master weight and dimension in open sales orders and de

Hi,
Iu2019m maintaining gross weight, net weight, volume in material master. When the time of sales order entry in VA01 its calculating weight and dimensions based on material master and order quantity. And I create deliveries in VL01N.
If I made a correction in the net and gross weight in material master after I created the sales order will the correct net and gross weight will pick up at the delivery creation.
In other term is the VL01N net and gross weight is taking from which is available in SO or Material master.
Is there any standard transaction to update already existing open sales order, delivery net and gross weight once it is corrected in material master?
Please advice.
Sam

Is there any standard transaction to update
No it is not possible to update the weight in existing sale order or delivery. You have to change it manually or create a new sale order. Weight in delivery will be fetched from sale order only and hence, whatever delivery you create referencing a sale order, system will copy whatever is there.
thanks

ALE in same system.

Hi All,
Is it not able to execute ALE in the same system but in different clients. I tried it but there is some probelm with the IDocs passed. I do the configuration in client X in the same system with multiple clients. Since ALE configuration is cross client all the changes appear in client Y. I configure everything correctly and use MATMAS as the message type. I create the material through MM01 and send the material through BD10. The IDoc get transferred without any problems. But after I get the IDOC in client Y being the recieveing system it says that the Partner profile is not present. But if i try to distribute the model view once again it says that it is already done...Is ALE not possible within clients of the same machine.. or where am i doing wrong...
Thanks in Advance,
Sudhi

Hi,
Thanks a lot for the inputs... i did generate the partner profile in the recieving system as well now the error has chaged i recieve the IDoc without any problems and also i can see the data in the segment. I am using MATMAS as the message type and in the segment E1MARAM and E1MAKTM i can see the data as well but now the status code in WE02 is '51' which says that the Application Document not posted and gives additional information saying that the Function Module AFS_RETAIL_ARTMAS_IDOC_INPUT is not allowed. I am on version 4.7 .anybody knows how to get out from here ?

Material Master changes are not allowing (MM02)

Dear All,
we have done year end activities successfully for the 2010 fiscal year. we are following January to December. In 2011 January 9th date we have activated Material ledger. after that when we try to go to material master the system is giving this error.
"Currency was not defined at production startup
Message no. C+040
Diagnosis
You have set the material ledger to productive in valuatione area DEL1. Nevertheless, information about the currency settings at the time of production startup are missing.
System Response
The system cannot ensure data consistency, since it is not possible to compare the current currency settings with those made at production startup.
Procedure
1. Make sure that the currency settings have not been changed since material ledger production startup in valuation area DEL1.
2. Inform your system administrator."
Even when I try to create the new material master it is showing the same error.
Could anybody guide me how to solve this.
Thanks and regards,
Mr.Rao

Hi Mr Rao ,
Your ML currency settings are incorrect .. which is causing the issue..
A . Have you checked the following notes which give a detailed information about Material Ledger activation: 596558 Material ledger production startup 384145 Advice note on material ledger production startup 165844 Material ledger production startup Please, check attached note 596558, which provides recommendations on Material Ledger production startup: ...before ML activation .. i hope not ..
B Always activate the material ledger for a complete company code and copy all currencies from FI. This is the only way to ensure the reconciliation with FI. c) In addition, it is recommended that you activate the material ledger for a complete company code because the invoice verification can neither store invoices that contain materials from plants the material ledgers of which are active nor more materials from plants the material ledger of which is not active. ... Please, consider that only transactions performed after the startup will be taken into account for the actual price calculation.
C .Now to correct it .. you have to deactive ML and correct the currencies and then re-activate ML . Have a look into SAP : Note 53947 - Changing currencies after production startup. Now , are e the actual activities now posted and production is active .. if yes .. the deactivating ML is a pain.
D .If the Material ledger is already set to u201CProductiveu201D, run the report SAPRCKMJX using SE38. This report should only be run in Development or Testing environment. It is not recommended to be used in Production. It may be used in case there is no activity in the plant (no stock, no movements have happened ever). SAP recommends use of their CO-PC development support for this (OSS Note 108374).
Please revert back for any further clarifications

Cleaning & archiving material master

hello,
I am going to start project where one of the tasks will be cleaning material master.
My client system version is 4.7
Can you suggest and documentation on procedures and tools provided by SAP for this purpose?
Thanks & regards,
Andrzej

Archiving the Material Master
Transaction SARA contains all the SAP archiving objects for all the SAP R/3 applications modules. All the SAP archive functions are shown in SARA. Choose the corresponding SAP archive object, hit enter and the archive administration menu will be shown. Provided here will be an example on how to archive the SAP Material Master.
Archive a Material Master Record
When a material is no longer required in a company or plant, you can archive and delete the material master record.
You have to Flag the material master record for deletion. This is known as logical deletion.
Before a material master record can be archived and deleted, other objects (such as purchasing documents) that refer to this material must themselves be archived. You can see which objects these are and the dependencies between them in the network graphic.
If a material master record cannot be archived and deleted at a given organizational level, the reason is given in the log (for example, a purchase order exists for the material). The log also contains technical data such as the number of material master records read and the number deleted.
Some of the archive error log message :-
Costing data exists
Use in routing
Use in sales and distribution
Use in bill of material
Delivery exists
Costing data exists
Info record exists
Purchase order exists
The Archiving steps :-
Archiving object MM_MATNR for archiving material master records.
You can display the archived data, but not reload it.
To archive the material master, first goto transaction MM71.
Type in a variant name and click Maintain. (Tick the Test Mode for archive simulation).
Save the variant.
Maintain the Start date and Spool parameters and click execute.
Click Goto Job Overview to check the archive status.
To do a permanent delete, goto transaction SARA and click Delete button.
Maintain the Archive Selection, Start date and Spool parameters.
Click Test Session for testing or click execute to start the deletion program.
Click Goto Job Overview to check the delete status.
Now, if you goto MM02/MM03, you will not be able to find the record in the material master.

Change of price control from "s" to "v" in the material master

Dear All,
Due to business requirement, we would like to change the price control for FERT items in the material master from "S-Standard Cost" to "V-Moving Average Price". This change we would like to do only at sales plants (Non-Manufacturing Locations). Very few materilas are having the stock on the date of the price control change
I would like to know is there any SAP Note / Any of you are having such experience? Please arrange the same.
Regards
Anilkumar

Hi,
i am not sure about any program but through MR21 you can change tthe Price in material master.
If stock is available system will hit to closing stock of the material for price change in case stock is not available it will hit price difference gl account.

Difference between profit center in OKB9 and material master

Hello,
I have a small doubt over here in the profit center point of view.
We have created profit center 1200 and assigned the same in material master. Now while doing PO system threws error message like "Account 5005115 requires an assignment to a CO object Message no. KI235". To eliminate this error i have assigned Cost element(1001125) and Profit center(1200) in TC: OKB9, now system is able to post everything fine.
Here the issue " If i can change profit center in the material master say ex: 1201, system picks from the material master only then why assigned in the OKB9? while doing MIRO system updated in the 1201 profit center".
Could anybody update me why we need to assigned profit center in OKB9 and Material Master?
Thanks
anifi

Hi,
This is about co.code level field status and Transaction level field status. In OKB9 transaction profit center is maintained and it is getting picked up.
As per SAP if any transaction level field status is maintained it will overwrite the co.code level field status.
So, here when you are giving the input of Profit center in the material master itself it is overwritting the co. code level field of profit center. If nothing is given in material master, then by default OKB9 level profit center will be picked up.
Thanks,
Prithwiraj.

Changing the Unit of Measurement in Material Master

Dear Experts,
Material DF21DENG (fert) was created with KGS (kilogram per second) as its unit of measurement. A material BOM was now created for DF21DENG.
I intend to change the unit of DF21DENG from KGS to KG (kilogram). On doing this in the Basic data view of DF21DENG, i get the message " change is not possible because a BOM exists for this material".
In the BOM of DF21DENG, I set the deletion flag on & tried to change the unit in the Material master again but got the same massage.
Please how can I effect this change?

This response was helpful but was solved the problem was that; from the Edit, i selected Delete from the drop down & then the alternative BOM was deleted.
