Material master creation error through LSMW

Hi,
I have a problem with creation material master through LSMW with object type BAPI. I use below import methods
Business Object BUS1001006
Method                SAVEDATA
Message Type    MATMAS_BAPI
Basic Type          MATMAS_BAPI03
Material number is configured length of 12 with leading zeros.
In my text file material number is given as XXXXXXXXXXX which is 11 digits. When I start IDoc processing it issues an error message u201CMG019 the numeric material number & was transferred without leading zerosu201D.
Then I add 0 to material number in the file (it becomes 0XXXXXXXXXXX) and run IDOC processing it issues same error message again.
How I can resolve this issue?
Thanks

Approval for Material Master Creation !

Dear All ,
My requirement is to have approval process for Material master. is it possible.?
My Client is expecting approval process same like PO ( release strategy )
Is there any standard approval process for every masters which are created as part of MM transactions.
Can it be achieved by means of any workflow.?
Thanks
Jinoy

Hi,
Yes it can be achieved by Work flow & also through the Enterprise Portal development.
If you have Workflow consultant you can take a help in setting up the approval for Material master creation.
If you want high fund & centralization of Material master you can go for EP development but Cost & effort will be on higher side.
Discuss with your Workflow consultant he will help you.

Material Master creation workflow

Hi everyone....
Last week I went on the BIT601 training course and I'm now tryinig to create my first workflow for material master creation, so please forgive my rather noobish questions. I think this must be a common workflow but I'm sure every company has a different process.
My process is as follows:
- User creates basic data view for material master in MM01.
- Workflow is triggered when material is saved.
- Work item arrives in inbox of master data enigneer who completes all material master views.
- Mail is sent to workflow initiator to inform that material is complete.
- End of workflow
I have defined the start event CREATED from business object BUS1001006 in my workflow definition. I have defined a standard task for the first step in my workflow using bus object BUS1001006 with method Create. The workflow starts correctly however ...
My question is how do I get the material number to pull through to my first step? I am assuming I need to setup some binding to pull the material number into the workflow container?
Can someone please point in the right direction.
Many thanks,
Neil

wow, thanks for the super quick reply Rob!
I figured it must be some binding I had not done.
So ... I go to my Start events in my workflow header, I see I have only the "auto-generated" binding i.e. EVTCREATOR > WFINITIAOR ....
now, I see EVTOBJECT as a possible container object from the event side of the window (left hand side) but what do I link it too? I was kinda expecting to see my business object as a possible container object in the workflow side of the screen (right hand side).
I really hope that makes sense... If I understand correctly, the idea is to link the event object to the business object container element ... but if thats the case why can't I see my business object in the workflow side of the binding window?
Many thanks for taking the time to help a noob
[edit] ... I may have partially answered my own question ... I think I need to define the properties of my business object in my workflow container element such that its is an input field? ...
I'm going home now... will carry on with this in the morning.

Workflow to approve Material Master creation

Dear all,
I would like to create workflow to approve Material Master creation as below:
When Material is created -> Check & Approval (Yes) -> Material is active
-> Check & Approval (No) -> Material is inactive
How can I do that?
Could you pls help me to solve this?
Thanks,
CH

Hi,
Before designing the workflow, you need to find what is the business object and what is the event which gets triggered when material master is created... you can do that using event trace....
1. SWELS - switch on trace
2. Create material
3. SWEL - check trace to find which event is fired
This will give you business object name..
Now start building workflow using SWDD... Go thru basic steps for designing workflow...

LSMW - inforecord / material master - syntax error when converting data

Hi all,
I used LSMW for classification uploads (material master, vendor master) so far - it was easy :-). But..I tried to create/update inforecords by object 0060, method 0000, program RM06IBI0. I declared source structure, source fields, field mappings and conversion rules (in my batch input I use only fields which we defined as required for infrecs.), files etc. LSMW reads the data but when I try Convert data - the is syntax error in program /1CADMC/SAP_LSMW_CONV_00000018 and dump with message "For type "C", a maximum length specification of 65535 is allowed." When I tried to create material master (object 0020, method 0000), Convert data command worked the same.
Any help would be appreciated. (? sample from your batch input file which works well to compare)
Tomas

Hi Tomas,
Please do me a favor. In the initial screen of LSMW, there is a pushbutton for 'Personal Menu'. Once you press that it will pop-up a screen with a bunch of checkboxes. Select the checkbox for 'Display Conversion Program' and press enter. Now you should see the 'Display Conversion Program' option in your initial screen. Select that and go into the conversion program. Put a break-point in the conversion program on the statement 'perform execute_data_conversion.'.
Debug it and find out exactly where the error is occuring. Perhaps that will help you figure out what the error is, if not, let the forum know where you hit the error. Even looking at the dump, you should get more information.

Error-Material Ledger currency were changed in material master creation

Hi all,
Iam trying to create a material master record in IDES database.
When iam entering into accounting 1 tab system is throwing the following error "Material Ledger currency were changed".
Without entering necessary information in the accounting tab i cannot proceed further , so kindly suggest me what is the necessary setup that i need to do to avoid this error.
Expecting a reply from you all.
Thanking You
Gopala

Hi,
In the configuration the material ledger might be active in the valuation area.If it is active in the valuation area then the check box in the material master is automatically checked.
If the material ledger is active for a particular valuation area, all materials in the valuation area are valuated using the material ledger.
If you activate the material ledger for a plant, you should also activate it for all the other plants in the company code. This ensures that the accounts in Financial Accounting and Materials Management are reconciled.
You can deactivate this in SPRO-Controlling -General controlling--Multiple valuation approaches-Basic settings-Check material ledger settings.
But be careful about the controlling settings while changing this.

Vendor Master Upload error in LSMW

Dear Forum members
While Uploading Vendor Master data through LSMW
i completed all steps upto read data upto this step i am not facing any issue after converting data system display converted data in display converted data it is showing some error in sort key in text file i mentioned sortkey 002 but system display 201..ie instead of 002 system diplay 201
finally i run batch input session it is showing error in batch input session bacuse of sort key
is there any possibility to change sort key 002 in lsmw for all master records at a same time because i can't change manually i have thousands of vendors
Any one Have idea about this issue Plz give me a solution
Thanks in Advance
Regards
Srikanth

Hi ,
First of all if i am not wrong then your vendors are not created rite .
So if you want to keep the sort key as 002 then i LSMW in field mapping you can keep the sort key as constant 002 .
The error that you are facing might be due to field lenght , i guess at the time of selection of file you would not have selecte the TAB DELIMITED selection so due to filed lenght the field might have ovelapped .
So to sum up in the input file you can remove the column for sort key and in field mapping put the sort key as constant .
Hope this helps .

Hi,
Check in T.code: MMRV and see which period is open for ur Co.Code and back posting is allowed or not. If you are sure to open new period now of new posting to period 08, then
use t.code: MMPV ,
enter
Company code C999
Period to open 08
Fiscal Year 2010
Execute
( system will close the period last period 07 and automatically system open the new one 08)
Now try ur transaction.
if any problem, then check in FI Side:
Use t.code: OB52 and open the 08,2010 period in Account Types A, K, D,M, S and specially Account Type u201C+u201D which stands for valid for all accounts type and save. Better consult FICO consultant for OB52 step.

Defaulting values in material master creation

Hi,
I want to have some filed values to be appeared as default in all the views while creation of material master.
By user settings, I can restrict Org level values such as C Code,S Org Distribution Channel etc etc.
But how to make field values such as account assignment grop,division,valuation class,price control,transport grp,loading grp etc appearing default so that user does not have to think.
Regards,
manOO

Hi,
You can set values for Parameter IDs of the fields that you want to default.
Set values in system -> user profile -> own data under parameters tab.
For example Disision's parameter id is 'SPA'. You can set a default value for division by giving proper value for SPA under parameters data in own data.
Hope this will help.
Regards,
Naveen.

Bydefault selection of profit centers during material master creation.

Dear SAP Experts,
My business wants that when ever they want to create a new material the profit center field should come bydefault after the selection of the plant.
Each plant has been associated with a profit center.
Is it possible , If yes then How.
Please guide me.
Regards
Debjeet Banerjee

There is no direct link of profit center and plant , the profit center is linked with plant via material master.So you cannot default the profit center when you select the plant while creating the MMR.
Better try with any custom table were you can make this link and default it while creation of material master.
