Material Master in R/3 - unintended outbound queue to SRM

Dear Experts,
sorry to intrude your mail boxes and thank you very much in advance for any pointers.
I am facing a problem with respect to Materials (material masters).
We have a newly created SAP system connected to our SRM. In this newly created SAP System, the generation/migration of material masters happens for a large number of materials currently. This generation and migration of material masters in this R/3 system has nothing to do with SRM and is only required for the operations within the R/3 system.
But for some reason, all these materials that are being created in this R/3 system, are trying to "make their way" into the SRM, but actually this is not required. As a result, the outbound queue of the R/3 system is completely plugged.
Can you help me understand, which setting could be responsible for the fact, that the material masters are trying to get into SRM. Can this be setting on R/3 or on SRM side and which settings can that be?
Thank you very much.

Unable to replicate material Master.

Dear SRM Gurus,
can you help to replicate the material master from ECC to SRM.
I made all the required settings.
I tried to load the objects,but the objects status is "Running".
How to verify the configured settings in Tables?rather checking in configurations
I have verified all the notes required for the material replciation.I didnt get any help.I may miss some configurations,please think guide me.
could you tell me why do we need to use SMOGGEN in the replcaition process?
I hvae attached the screen shot of SMWP,you can have quick idea about the status.
Thank you so much for your prompt reply.

Hi Vini,
Thank you so much for experienced and detailed answer
yes,i have verified all the entries and methods which you suggested.
I have encountered such issues in my previous project.
I have maintaine the entires as you mentioned initially.
I have found the error in the outbound queue in SRM.
short dump updated in the backend system. then i found the error as below.
The current application triggered a termination with
Technical information about the message:
Message class....... "C_"
Number.............. 050
Variable 1.......... "No External System (such as CRM) Connected"
"MESSAGE_TYPE_X" " "
"SAPLCRM0" or "LCRM0U68"
"CRM_FIRST_CALL_OPERATIONS"
short dump updated in the backend system.
Can you tell me the significance of SMOGGEN?
I have another issue,
In another system,when i try to replicate the product category, some times,able to replciate the product category.
sometimes it is not working.
i couldl not find any outbound queue generation also in SRM.
can you explain me how to verify whether filters updated properly to load the requested data?
Many thanks.

No Material Master replication from R/3 to CRM

Hallo guys,
i've got no replication of material master, haven't tried any other object except customizing but customizing is triggered from CRM and was replicated fine. Can anybody help me how can i debug the replication process from R/3?
Thanks for your help in advance.

Dmitry,
You first need to determine where your errors are happening?
1. Do you have blocked queues on CRM? If you see a blocked inbound/outbound queue on CRM via SMQ1 or SMQ2, then you can try to rerun the BDOC message in the queue.
2. Is there tax code customizing not downloaded correctly into CRM? This sometimes can hang up your download of materials?
3. Have you looked at SMW01 after the load to see if you have any BDOC's in error, the queues were empty?
4. What is the status of the initial load R3AM1?
I would hold off from debugging until I figure out where in the download process that I am receiving the error. Once I know that fact them I can debug a single download. You will have to set a filter on the material object to a single material and attempt an initial download. When you perform the initial download you will need all queues deregistered on the CRM side, so that you manually execute the BDOC import into CRM.
The last step will require placing a breakpoint into the validation function module for material.
I believe validation function module is: COM_PRODUCT_MAT_VALIDATE. If you have questions along the way of debugging the flow, please reply back and I will try to see if I can answer them. It has been a little while since I had to debug our middleware downloads.
Good Luck,
Stephen

Groupware Intgration with Notes-Domnioserver Outbound Queues are on sysfail

Hi Experts,
we having some issues with Outbound Queues there are on sysfail an i do not know how to fix this i think there could be something wrong with the RFC-Destination to the mapbox.
for example the queue holding the object GWA_ACTVCHAR at the moment says: "Table is not declared as a table or view in the ABAP Dictionary"
or the Queue for the "BUPA_MAIN" says: " funktionsmodul for object BUPA_MAIN is not unique in table
CRMSUBTAB"
how do i setup the RFC-Destination to the Mapbox in CRM 7.0 or could it be something else
please advise
with kind regards

Hi,
I have come across this language error but in different scenario :
The master data was maintained in two languages (english and japanese) when tried to run some standard report with a selection option as period i encountered the language error. Than i did run the report in decending order of the dates (reduced valid from date like from nov 10 to nov 9) on trial and error basis.
I found that b/w some period one of the material was not activated for japanese language in basic data 1 view.
hope this is useful.

Replication of Customer and Material master from R/3 to CRM

Hi
Recently in our quality server basis administrator has made a client copy from production server after that customer master and material master are not flowing from R/3 to CRM, even sales orders were not getting copied from CRM to R/3 , i went through C71 BB config document and fixed the sales orders updation from CRM to R/3 but not able to resolve the problem of customer master and material master from ECC to CRM.
I went to B09 BB document and all settings are fine.
Using R3AS I have loaded following objects DNL_CUST_PROD0, PROD1, PROD3, SPROD , DNL_PLANT. and Material.
I went to R3AM1 and checked the status as running or wait for each object.
There are no filters in R3AC1 .
Queue name withR3AD_MATERIA0000000001 has status SYSFAIL in SMQ2 .
What can i do to resolve this problem.
Please advice.
Thanks,
Vaishnavi

Hello Vaishnavi,
After the client copy , have you run txn:BDLS in order to change the LOGSYS in all relevant tables?
You can run this txn in test mode as well to see the affected tables.
Are you getting any dump on these load ?Check it in txn:ST22.
Hope this helps!

Material master-additonal unit of measurement

HI, I have three questions
a) we have the follwoing data defined in material master (additonal data)
X UOM Y UOM EAN
1 LITRES 1 LITRES NIL
1 IGB (inner packg) 20 LITRES 345922222222
1 GBE (packg) 20 LITRES 345922222222
I need to know what is EAN no and in our case the EAN no is same for both inner packg and pack. . what does this mean. Sometimes we also see the EAN no is different. why... what it signifies ?
2) We have outbound idoc trigerred from delivery. message type is WHSOD. in one of the segments (E1EDL24), the system shows the delivery qty and material no. This segment also shows the EAN NO AS 345922222222. In segment E1EDL26, the filed UMVKZ shows as 1 which is ok (numerator as shown above) but the numerator field shows 1 only (it does not show 20 litres,, i think the field name is UB something ).
I need to know why the system is not showing 20 litres in numerator in the filed for segment E1EDL26.
3) Had we have two different EAN in material master as above, did our standard message type would have shown the conversion factors (numerator and denomi ) as per the EAN nos.....If yes, then in which segments ,the WHSORD shows the Conversion factors based on different EAN nos in material master-UOM tab (for instance if 1 GBE (packg) = 30 LITRES and EAN IS 345911111111.... I think there will be as many segments in idoc as there are entries in Additonal data-UOM tab )
rgds
pamela

Hi Jurgen,
I think you did not understand. My questions is as follows.
a) why we maintain alternative UOM in material mastr (additional data) ? an example ould be good.
b) We have in our system base unit of masuement as litres and sales unit as blank. that means system will take sales unit of measurementt as litres only.
now we make sales order and make delivery and a outbound whsord idoc is sent to third party warehouse. the third party warehouse undertsands only IGB(pack ) unit of measure wherase our idoc i think will carry LT (litres ) as UOM...
we do maintain the conversion factor between litres and IGB in our material master (additional data tab).That is our idoc shud carry conevrsion factor as maintained in ur material maste ( 20litres =1 igb ). so our idoc shud carry .05 as conversion factor
so that our third party warehouse understands that and dispatch 1 IGB of qty (2 litres as per our delivery )

Error while creatting the Material Master IDOC in ERP 2005

Hello All,
I am trying to create scenario from RFID-Enabled Outbound Processing - Conf Guide (SAP AII 4.0).
I am using Auto ID 4.0 on a NW04s system. The backend is a ERP2005 system.
The scenario requires that I need to create a material in the backend and send it to the NW04s system using IDOCs.
After completing the configuration on the backend, I tried sending the Material Master IDOC to Auto ID from the transaction AIDMM. I get a message that IDOC is just being created. But I could not find it in the transaction WE02.
On debugging I found that the function MARD_GENERIC_READ_MATNR_PLANT resulted in error.
Thanks for any kind of input.
Regards,
Rahul

Dear,
Check ABAPer for file settings.
- CANNOT_SKIP_ATTRIBUTE_RECORD : The attributes could not be read in the EPS parcel. The file cannot be opened for reading, because it may have been deleted in the meantime.
- CANNOT_DETERMINE_EPS_PARCEL : The EPS parcel is not in the EPS Inbox, because it may have been deleted. You must download the relevant patch again (for example, Hot Package).
- CANNOT_DETERMINE_DATA_FILES : The name of a data file could not be determined, because a profile parameter was not correctly configured. Check the settings using the report RSPARAM.
- CANNOT_DISASSEMBLE_R_DATA_FILE : An R3trans data file could not be unpacked. A possible error source is that the relevant EPS parcel was not found. The data file could not be opened for writing. An error occurred when transmitting a 20K block from the EPS Inbox to the directory /usr/sap/trans/data (UNIX).
- CANNOT_DISASSEMBLE_D_DATA_FILE : An ADO data file could not be unpacked. The reasons are the same as with the message CANNOT_DISASSEMBLE_R_DATA_FILE .
- CANNOT_CREATE_COFILE : The cofile could not be created from the relevant data file. One possible error source is that <sys>adm does not have write authorization for the directory /usr/sap/trans/cofiles (UNIX).

Using the APD to update material master in CRM

Does anybody know if it is possible to update material master records in CRM from BW using the Analyses Process Designer with target CRM?
I would prefer to know this before creating a custom data target adapter in the CRM SPRO, writing all the required function modules and then finding out that it does not work.
Thanks,

SRM and MDM for material master in SRM contracts for multiple R/3

Dear all,
my question is:
We are implementing SRM 4.0 in classic scenario with multiple R/3 back-end and we want to set-up Global Outline Agreements in SRM in a multi-backend environment where the Material Master are not harmonized.
We heard that MDM and COntent Integraton can be a solution.
Then detailled question is:
Can we have 2 material numbers (e.g. ABC and XYZ) in 2 different R/3 systems refering the same product.
Have the mapping done in MDM (Content Integrator?) to a third material number:123
Replicating the material master 123 to SRM from MDM(?)
Create global Outline Agreements in SRM for Material Master 123.
Distribute the GOA as Outline Agreement to R/3 system 1 with the translation to ABC and to R/3 system 2 with the translation XYZ, all of that during the distribution step (or another).
Have the call-offs quantities correct on 123 in SRM and BW?
IF yes, how is it working, do you have some documentation discribing the scenario and the config steps to do?
Thanks in avance

Hello RD,
That's a good question.
You are on the right way. MDM is the tool for you.
But..
Content Integrator (CI) was first developped for Shell, to address the need of cross-referencing of material/supplier/category IDs, for:
- reporting purpose (actual Spend Analysis)
- mapping purpose (send of XML PO)
CI was later "fusionned" into the new MDM (1.0) solution.
So now, you can not order CI without MDM (even if some SRM slides still present CI).
But mapping API where developped for all inboud/outbound interfaces in SRM, for materials only (good luck for you).
You will find everywhere this piece of code:
Call ECI
    CALL FUNCTION 'BBP_PRODUCT_MAP'
      TABLES
        it_input          = lt_mapping_in
        et_output         = lt_mapping_out
      EXCEPTIONS
        logsys_not_found = 1
        driver_not_found = 2
        product_not_found = 3
        internal_error    = 4
        OTHERS            = 5.
So it is ok, you have the mapping call, but I don't know if all the rest of the process was really "finalized" (call of API mapping in CI, via XI). I personnaly never used it, but I assume it should work.
I my opinion your process is supported by SAP:
- Extract materials from both R/3 and consolidate them as a single product in MDM.
- Distribute this product into SRM.
- Maintain contracts on those products.
- Distribute them to R/3 (The ECI call is also used during contract distribution).
- Call offs corrects in SRM and BW
For MDM documentation, look at netweaver area of service.sap.com.
For MDM/SRM integration, look at SRM 4.0 spend analysis:
https://websmp206.sap-ag.de/~sapdownload/011000358700004424262004E/GlobalSpendOverview.ppt
For SRM contract distribution, call-offs, BW, look at SRM in details in service.sap.com/srm/SRM4.0:

Upload Material Master

Dear all,
I´m trying to upload the material master form R3. I´m able to import all the materials that do not have the "Sales 1 view".
But unfortunately, I can not upload materials with this view.
When trying to replicate a material with Sales 1 view, If I go to trx SMQ2 in SRM I can see that the Queue has status SYSFAIL.
So, I go to trx. SMW01 we discovered that the BDOC message has status F05 (information not processing). We discovered SRM_PRODUCT_SALES038 error and its description is "Allocation of the tax for country AR, sequence 1, value 0 not possible".
Does anyone knows how can I solve this issue? We don´t have to perform taxes calculations in SRM, but we can not transfer these materials....
Best Regards,
PS: we are not using SD in R3 but we have the Sales 1 View since we need it for PO "UB". In this view we have the following entry for all materials:
AR Argentina MWST Output Tax 0 No tax

Price update from Original Material to copied Material Master

I have a scenario,
We are selling Raw materials to outside companies who have shortage of materials on Loan Basis. Once they have materials, they will return the materials within a time period. If they don't have the materials and unable to return within the said time, they will make the payment.
We will follow the normal sales process to sell the item to the customer.
1. creating sales order,
2. Outbound Delivery, and
3. Billing
Return process when receiving the materials from the company.
1. Billing Cancellation
2. PGI Cancellation
Since this is not an actual sale, hence we need to maintain selling price same as the purchase price.
We are planning to extend the Raw Materials to Sales View in the material master. However, we came to know that this will be Violation of Act. Hence we are planning to create a new material by copying the existing Raw Material master but the Material type will be Issue on Loan. This material will have sales view and purchase view.
This material will have a separate Valuation Class. Price control indicator will be V, since the item should be valuated at Purchase Price and the purchase price will keep changing as and when the price changes. This moving average price will be used as selling price.
The same price needs to be updated in the Sales Order automatically from the Loan Material Master when selling the Loan Material.
Now, the problem we are facing is, if we create a new Loan Material by copying Raw Material master with ROH material type, how will the price update in New Loan Material since, we will not purchase the Loan Material. We are purchasing the original item as raw material. Hence, this will not update the Loan Material Price automatically and the price will remain unchanged.
Please suggest a work around?

Hi,
Let me explain to you how I am proceeding.
Step 1:
Create new material master by copying existing Raw Material with Issue on Loan material type. I am assigning a new Valuation Class in this material master. Also, we keep the pricing
Step 2:
Transfer stock from old material to new material in MB1B with movement type 309.
Step 3: Issue of Loan Material to Customer on loan basis.
Creating Sales Order, PGI and Billing
Step 4: Receipt of Item back from Customer
Sales Return process.
Step 5: In case Customer does not return goods, then we will collect payment from them
In the entire process we need to maintain the selling price at purchase price of the original material. Can you suggest any work around, in case this process is not advisable.

Error while sending Material Master IDOC to Auto ID 2.1

Hello All,
I am using Auto ID 2.1 with SP1 on NW04.
Integration server is XI 3.0 with corresponding XI Content for Auto ID.
The backend is ERP2004.
I am using the config guide for Auto ID 2.1.
After completing the configuration, I tried sending the Material Master IDOC to Auto ID.
IDOC gets created successfully. XI says the message transfer is successfully.
In the log of Auto ID. I am getting the following error while importing the Material Master product:
Product ID AUTOIDAII_MAT has an invalid format
Internal error in /AIN/DM_PROD_COMMIT
Message no. COM_PRODUCT897
The description says that it may be a program error.
Or the program expects some variable to be filled which has not occured.
Any idea what could be the error. Or where should I try looking for to get more detail info.
Do some one knows what should be the patch levels for the different components in all three servers for Auto ID 2.1 SP1.
Thanks for any kind of input.
Regards,
Arundeep Singh

HI Arundeep,
use the following
1) XI 3.0 SP level 12
2) AII 2.1 SP2
3) check in rfid outbound configuration guide for any customising for product to be done in AII

Hi,
As for as i know EANs are not relevant to unit conversion. This is a number which uniquely identifies a material for a particular UoM.
And regarding the numerator and denominator, check whether any logic is added in the corresponding segment which overwrites the value

Udating material master with changed planned delivery time in contract

Hi experts ,
My question is while we are changing the planned delivery time in the contract we need to udate the same in the material master table . so how to update the material master table with new planned delivery time. Is there any FM exits to udate it and if it is then how to use it.
thanks
Anshuman

Hi Madhu ,
You are right we can use BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA but if we use it then we have to use BAPI_COMMIT also to make sure that all the changes are saved completly and if we do BAPI_COMMIT then it maye commit all the task which is in queue and it need to update later. So it is again a issue .
Thanks
Anshuman
