Material Master Data related with an Asset

Hi Guys
I was told that the material master data that I am creating needs to be related with an asset hierarchy, any one know where Do I relate material master data with the asset hierarchy?
thanks
Carlos

Hi,
Though you Material grade is time dependent and sequentially changing.
You can create 4 different DTP with Grade selection (only 1 Transformation).
For example, 1 DTP with filter Grade A, another DTP with grade B, so on.
and executive all 4 dtp sequentially and activate master data after every DTP run.
Hope it will workout.
Thanks,
Balaram

Material Master Data Reporting with SAP BW?

Hello,
I have a question regarding the use of a SAP BW System. Do you guys think SAP BW is a appropriate System for modelling and analysing Queries for the Material master data of the R/3 System.
Focus:
Material master data
Bill of Material
Material Classification System
Iu2019m not sure if Infocubes are the right way to report such kind of requirement. I mean Infocubes always requires key figures and dates but the material master data are mainly characteristics. Can someone give me some advice?
Thanks & Greetings

Hi,
I'd say yes. You can aalo use InfoObejct and DSO (like Tables) as well as InfoSets (Join ability).
Masteer Data and BoM shouldn't be a problem.
Material Classification System is always a bit tricky. Standard Class extractors are not able to extract multiple classifcations. There will be need of some Programming due to the poor standard solution.
I suppose some 10 - 15 days till it's finished an productive.

Material master data and Asset

Hello Guys
Considering the every material master data that I am buying will end up been an Asset in my company.
I would like to know how can I alredy related the material master data that I am creating with a possible hierarchy to make it esier at the time of creating the asset?
Some one could briefly explain to me how can I related the material master data and a creation of an asset in SAP?
thanks

Hi guys
Jignesh Thakkar
That was really good answer you gave it is according with the Help instruction that I read, but the main point for me is that I will not know the asset description or capitalized date or serial number, location, etcu2026 until I goods receipt the individual material creating serial nods and the equipment master data.
In this scenario from the equipment master data is there any way to create an Asset master data, create the asset master data with the information of the GR equipment master Data or populate the Asset AS01 with the equipment master data?
Otherwise I will need manually create the Asset and manually synchronize the equipment with the asset?
Thanks Guys it have been incredibly helpful this network I hope I can help some one in future as it have been helpful for me at the moment.

Can we recieve goods for purchase order with out material master data in PO

I have service PR for doing the services. I will give the material which is not accounted ( no material in the PO)and raise PO with reference to production order. but once the service is done,that product will become a material ( master data available) I have to receive the final product.Can we do the GR for this product. If so ,could you please explain the scenario

Hi Sankarkumar
When you are issuing the material for servicing your existing inventory for the material will be affected how you are plannignto handle that? You are receiving a different material once the serviceing is done then again yoour inventory will be affected for the new material. If you do not intend to issue material in SAP then why are you worried when you are bringing the new material into SAP after servicing is over? It is a subcontract scenario in a normal situation. But since you do not want then you can do a Service PO from the reqn and later use receipt without PO for bringing material in. Just speak to your finance guys how to set right the debit/credit amount resulted due to this transaction.

SAP Business Connector with Java (material master data)

Hey,
I have a question about the SAP BC. What are the steps I have to do, to use the BC with a Java program?
My task is to create a program which downloads material master datas from SAP.
I just installed the BC, and hope, that I did it correctly
Many thanks in advance!!
Kind regards,
Alex
German Version:
Hey,
wie ich oben schon geschrieben habe, habe ich ein paar Fragen zum SAP BC. Ich habe ein Hochschul-Projekt und muss hierfür Materialstammdaten aus SAP herunterladen und mit einem Java Programm ausgeben lassen.
Kann mir vielleicht jemand weiterhelfen, wie die Schritte hierfür aussehen?! Wie verbinde ich den BC mit meinem SAP System? und wie bekomme ich anschließen die Daten mit einem Java Programm ausgelesen?
Ich habe bereits den BC installiert und konnte mich meines Wissens auch richtig anmelden;-)
Ich hoffe, dass mir jemand weiterhelfen kann und bedanke mich schon im Voraus für eventuelle Antworten!!!
Viele Grüße

Hi,
I work with SAP BC some time ago... I remember that you configure the connection in SM59 / SICF and the server open a port to "listen" (connect external).
So, your external program can execute functions inside SAP and exchange data.

Program to update info record with material master data

I am trying to determine if there is a standard SAP program that can be run as a batch file to update the fields in the info record with the same fields that are in the material master? ie: Planned delivery time, Tolerance, purchasing group etc.

Hi,
There is no standard report or transaction that can do this.
The data from these fields in the material master is brought in as a default to the info record when it is created. beyond this point the Info record is treated as being the correct data regardless of what happens to the material master data and so no updates occur in the standard system.
It would not be difficult to build an LSMW job to copy the data from the material master to the info records and this would be the recommendation if you want to do this.

Create Material Master Data with BAPI

Hi,
I don't know using of BAPI. I want using BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA bapi for creating material master data for Basic Data1, Basic Data2, Purchasing and MRP views. Does anybody can help me ?
Thank you
Good night

Hi,
Please refer to the documentation below:
BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA
Short Text
Create and Change Article Master Data
Functionality
You use this method to create new material master data or to change existing material master data. The data on a material can be transferred for each call.
When creating material master data, you must transfer the material number, the material type, and the industry sector to the method. You must also enter a material description and its language.
When changing material master data, you need enter only the material number.
In the header data, you must select at least one view for which data is to be created. Depending on the view selected, you must maintain other required parameters. If you do not enter values for all of the required parameters, the method is ended with an error message.
The corresponding fields in the tables (such as CLIENTDATA) must first be supplied with data by the calling program. An indicator must also be set for each of these fields so that the data is written to the database by the method. This requires the calling program to supply the corresponding field with the indicator in a checkbox table (for example, CLIENTDATAX). Checkbox tables exist for tables that do not contain any language-dependent texts (MAKT, MLTX), International Article Numbers (MEAN), or tax classifications (MLAN). Several data records for a material can be created in these tables.
If a structure contains fields for units of measurement (such as structure CLIENTDATA, field BASE_UOM), language indicators (such as structure MATERIALDESCRIPTION, field LANGU), or country indicators (such as structure TAXCLASSIFICATIONS, field DEPCOUNTRY), there is always a field of the same name with the ending _ISO. This makes it possible to transfer either the internally used SAP code or a standardized ISO code for the units of measurement, language indicators, or country indicators. ISO codes are converted to an SAP code internally for further processing. The ISO code is used only if the SAP code is not transferred. If you use ISO codes, there must be a unique assignment of the ISO code to the SAP code in the following activities in Customizing for Global Parameters:
Check Units of Measurement
Define Countries
If you want to maintain long texts (basic data texts, internal comments, purchase order texts, material memos, or sales texts) or customer-defined fields for a material, some special conditions have to be observed. They are described in the documentation for parameters MATERIALLONGTEXT and EXTENSIONIN.

Message Type for Material Master Data Changes

Hi all
I'm managing Message Types for Material Master Data extraction from R\3 system to BW system, in order to load on BW only the changes done to some fields of MARA table that are delta relevant.
Now from R/3 BD50 Transaction I can see that there is a message type that refer to changes done on MARA fields: RS0044.
I would like to replace this message type with another one (RS0020) in order to align different systems.
Now changes to material master data in R/3 system are recorder with both message types but only those with RS0044 message type are processed and loaded into BW system.
So I would like to know:
1. How is the message type related to the DataSource 0material?
2. is it possible to replace a message type for BW?
3. if yes, how can I do it?
Thanks in advance.
Elisa
mail: [email protected]

Hi Oscar!
At the moment I'm using Delta queue of 0MATERIAL. I know that in the queue there are all the new and changed records.
But I would like to be able not to load all the changed records, but only those that refer to some fields of MARA table.
E.g. if the gross weight of a material is modified I don't want to load this change on BW with Delta loading .
I've seen that from R/3 Transaction BD52 you can set only delta relevant fields referred to a specific message type and to delete the other fields.
As I'm able to do this directly in the Development system and Test System, I haven't got the authorization of doing it in the Production system.
That's why I need to include this setting in a CR and then ask to transport it from Test to Production system.
But message types referred to MARA field changes are different between the two systems.
And it seems they are automatically created.
Is it true?
Thanks
Elisa

Que on Material Master Data Migration

Hi All
We are trying to allocate parallel currency to an existing co code, and since SAP recommends not to add parallel currency to an existing co code, we have decided to go ahead with a new co code - thereby transferring all master and transaction data as part of data migration..
However, my Qs is.. do we have to migrate the material master data aswell since when I make the material to plant assignment in customizing, it should then officially belong to the new co code too right?
Please advise
RS

Hello Jürgen
Thanks for your reply.
I dont think you fully understand my scenario..
we have an entity that wants to introduce a parallel currency to all their reporting.. therefore, addiding a parallel currency to an active company code is not possible and they are not keen to go with material ledger...
therefore, we suggested a brand new co code as of 01.01.2012. So the current co code is not going to be active after 31.12.2011. We are creating a brand new co code and doing data migration for all the master data and transaction data.
meaning, Vendor, Customer, GL, AP & AR item Data, GL item data and asset master and transaction data.
In customizing, after creating the new company, we will make the assignments to plant purchasing/sales org etc.
My Qs - do we also need to migrate the material master since it belongs to a Plant. Therefore, when we assign the co code to the Plant, it will automatically be available in the co code when creating a PO etc..
this is my Qs
thank you
RS

Material Master Data upload approach

Hi,
I have a requirement to upload material master data into D.B
1. Which is the best option to use - BDC/LSMW/BAPI(Program)/Direct upload program!
2. Based on Material types fields to be uploaded will change as per sample sheet,
Can we make use of single sheet With all fields in it(By removing common fields for all Mat.Types)!
Will BAPI - BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA useful for both MM01/MM02!
What is the better approach for the same!
Thanks,
Deep.

Hi,
I have 2 queations in addition to above.
1. If i write a program using above BAPI for material master data. Then will it be better approach than LSMW with BAPI?
In this case user will trigger Z tcode & he will select input file from desktop & execute & report log will be shown in the output with successful & unsuccessful materials.
2. I have to upload material master data. Now i have got sample files for Basic, Plant & Sales organization specific.
If i have single excel file (All fields in one single sheet/line) which covers all unique fields of material master related to diff Basic, Plant & Sales organization specific data & also for all diffrent material types will that be fine (or) it usually required seperate excel sheets for diffrent kinds of data!
Please clarify about above 2 issues!
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Deep.

Uploading picture to the material master data

Hi friends,
I searched the forum about this subject, however there are mostly answers related to retail sector.
I'd like to learn if ECC 6.0 could only itself is able to this. I mean is ECC 6.0 enough to add pictures to material master data or is there any configuration or customization requirement for that?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Yusuf Gezer

yes, it is possible to store images to the materials. here you have at least 2 options, DMS and GOS.
DMS is document manament system, here it is even possible to classify the images for a better search. GOS is generic object services which is available in the maintenace transactions for material master and several other objects. Pretty easy to use, but....you cannot search for the images, you always have to go into the material and fom there you have to open the GOS to see whether an image exists or not.
further you should think about the place where you store these images and other attachments, I mean in SAP table system or in an optical disc system linked to SAP, which is much cheaper diskspace than the SAP tablespace.
A migration from DMS to DMS is relatively easy and can be accomplished with IDOCs via LSWM or ALE scenario.
Migration of GOS attachements is challenging. Nothing ready for use exists in SAP to do it.

Material master data complete in bi - infoset or multiprovider

Hi all.
for one of the reporting requirement of my client i need to extract the complete material master data in BI - from MARA, MARC, MARD, MSTLB tabls.
which i have done and stored in the infoobjects - 0MATERIAL, 0MAT_ST_LOC, 0MAT_PLANT, 0MAT_SALES.
now user want to see all the information against each material in 1 single line the multiple lines will only come in when there is plant.
which approach i shoul go for this scenario.
infoset or multiprovider.
i created infoset by using inner join but then i see only common materials, left outer join is giving me problems.like -
Invalid or missing ON condition for left outer join (0MAT_PLANT)
Invalid or missing ON condition for left outer join (0MAT_ST_LOC)
Invalid ON condition for left outer join (0MATERIAL)
kindly give your suggesstions on this.
thanks
dipika

Hello,
There are restrictions regarding left outer join in infoset:
If a left outer join is used, the following restriction applies to the right table (right operand):
·        Only join conditions with exactly one other table can be defined and
·        This table in turn cannot be a right table (right operand) of a left outer join.
Tables connected with left outer joins always form the end of a chain of tables. In this way, as many tables as you want can be linked in an InfoSet with a left outer join to a core of tables that are connected using inner joins.
The restrictions on the definition of left outer joins are due to the technical limitations of databases. These restrictions do not apply to inner joins.

ALE:Material Master Data Distribution

Hi
I am new to ALE Material Master Data Distribution and if the questions are incorrectly worded, please accept my apologies. It is due to lack of knowledge.
I am doing Material Master Data distribution and I am using standard basic type MATMAS03. The standard TCode MM01, MM02 has SAP tables and 3 custom tables.
I have turned the active on using BD61 and change pointers to message type.
Q: Is the change pointer, applicable to entire material master? i.e. if I change a field in Z table or standard material tables, can an IDOC be created for the entire material record?
Q: What is the function of BD52? Does this override the option Activate Change pointers for message type? Does it mean, if the changes are made to those fields in BD52 a change pointer is created?
Q: If I change Z table only, will there be a change pointer created? If not, how could I accomplish this using BD52.
Q When do we use the enhancement MGV00001?
Also, If you could add anything in addition to above queries, it will be helpful to me and I appreciate it.
With regards,
William

Thank you Sudhakar.
Your tips are good, but, I was not able to get the problem resolved.
Let me explain what I have done based on your tips.
1. MATMAS uses MATMAS03. The basic type has NOT been modified to have z fields yet.
2. Using BD52, i have created the following fields
MATERIAL ZEMM_MARA_TECH IM_ADVISORY_CODE
MATERIAL ZEMM_MARA_TECH KEY.
3. Modified the MMR for IM_ADVISORY_CODE.
I did not see a change pointer for this change.
Q: When I created above entry using BD52, was asking the table name. The table name is stored in TCD0B. What TCode is available the entries in TCDOB. For the time being, i created using SQL.
Q. Is there a follow up configuration required to capture the changes?
I will award the points in a couple of days time, even if I do not get the solution, because you have spent your precious time for the community. I will wait for a couple of days for other suggestions and close the Problem.
