Material master upload to new SAP system

Hi,
Please help me to decide the procedure on migrating material master from ECC 5.0 to ECC 6.0.
One of my idea is to use LSMW and other is to use ALE.
I am expecting many changes in the current material master, so using standard ALE BD10 is difficult. Example: ECC5.0 material type "ABC" would be "XYZ". (XYZ and ABC are of same material type, example: FERT). I choose to have different material number in new system. Like that there are few more changes.
What are all the best methods to extract the data from ECC5.0? I was checking the program RMDATGEN to download the data, but it is not readable. I can prepare a file format and map the columns in ECC6.0 LSMW. Since both the systems are SAP, I am thinking why to prepare a seperate input file format? Again I need to download the data from ECC5.0 for that format. Is there a simple to download and upload the data? Please let me know.
Thanks
Nagarajan

Here you define your Partner profile:
IMG > Application Link Enabling (ALE) > Modelling and Implementing Business Processes > Partner Profiles and Time of Processing > Maintain Partner Profile Manually
And in the details you define for yor message type MATMAS:
Receiver port: X
Output mode: Collect Idocs and Do not start subsystem
This collection writes the idocs to a file.
This file can then be found in SAP file system with transaction AL11.
a clever basis guy can then move it from there to your network.

Transfer GL Accounts to a new SAP System

I need to transfer G/L accounts to a new SAP system.
I am trying to use Data Transfer Workbench. I need to know do we create it in the Company Code from where I have to move the GL master data or in the target system.
One more question, after Extract GL Master Data file is generated-the next step is to create the spreadsheet file. I am not able to find where we do it.
All help is appreciated.

I am using the tcode SXDA. The next step as explained in the SAP R/3 documentation is Processing a file with spreadsheets. It done as follows:
Import the file using a spreadsheet program and set the columns to the data format Text.
Edit the file using the spreadsheet. You can enter your data manually or copy it from another spreadsheet file.
When you have finished editing the file, save it with the extension "txt".
But I am not able to figure out how to do that. If anyone knows, please explain little bit in more detail like how can I import the file using a spreadsheet program.

I have encountered a peculiar problem in MM01 material master upload.

I have encountered a peculiar problem in MM01 material master upload. The
BDC program uploads data using Session method. The problem is when i
process the session in foreground mode the data uploads successfully, but
when i process it in background mode it gives the following errors in the
log.
'Control Framework: Fatal error - GUI cannot be reached'.
'Runtime error RAISE_EXCEPTION has occurred'.
When i debugged the program i found that this error is encountered when
data is being input in 'Purchase Order text' editor of MM01 transaction.
There is no problem with the BDC recording or the program as i could see.
The only problem what i believe is the system is unable to call the text
editor for inputting purchase order text data in background mode.

Hi
Try uploading a BAPI it would be better

Material master Upload with LSMW

Hi
When I make Material master Upload with LSMW, I could not find any entry in planning file.
Please explain.

Mayuresh,
Not all LSMW transactions properly update Planning file.
You can run transaction MDAB to set up planning file in Background
You can run transaction MDRE to detect and correct Planning file inconsistancies in Background.
It is probably a good idea to run these jobs periodically, say, weekly, in most production environments.

Have you failed to maintain a backup copy?
You should never update without making sure your backup copy of your computer is up to date.
You can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod to computer: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases

GuiXT: Recently we have added new SAP system EIQ

Hi Gaurav,
You need an additional key for the new system, which Synactive will provide as part of your client contract. Once you have the new key configured in the guixt ini file, everything should work as desired.
Good luck.

SAP material master upload , but table by table

Dear All,
we have a case in which we want to create a new client and move all the settings and master data from our current client to the new one (we dont want to move the transactional data).
our basis consultant has moved the settings and customizations to the new client.
my question: can we move the master data (material master as the first stage) from the current client to the new one by uploading to the tables? i mean using LSMW will require going through the material creation steps which require data from more than one table.
but i would like to upload to the tables one by one, like taking the data in MARA in the old client, and uploading it to MARA in the new client.
then do the same for MARC, MARD, ...
please tell me what do you think ......it is really urgent

table copies are usually done in SLO projects.
SAP has a sepcial team for SLO (system landascape optimization),
I personally would use ALE scenario to move master data from one client to another or one system to another.
if you know all the material master tables, then you can give it a try.
Before beeing too optimistic, have a look into transaction DB15, enter MM_MATNR in tables for object in the lower part of the screen. then click Show objects. finally switch the radio button to All tables
Now you see a list with all tables from which SAP reads and deletes data when you archvie a material. In general, these are all the tables that might have values for a material master.
Had you thought that it would be all these tables?

Material Master Upload though LSMW - How to add new custom segments to LSMW

Hi,
I have an existing LSMW to create material master idocs (ZMATMAS) from legacy file. Now I need to add new custom segment under E1MARCM, for example say ZMARC1 which will have 2 new custom fields.
1. I created the segment through WE31 and released it.
2. I created an extension to ZMATMAS using WE30 and released it.
Now Im trying to change the LSMW so that I will have the new segment ZMARC1 under E1MARCM so that I can do the field mappings. But I am not able to get it done. i.e. I dont know what should I do so that I can get the new segment in LSMW.
I tried giving the extension in the first step of LSMW. i.e. Maintain Object Attributes but its not allowing me to give an extension. Do I need to add to the basic type ZMATMAS05 and release it to get it reflected in LSMW.
Please give your suggestions.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi

LSMW for material master upload

Hi gurus
i have one problem while uploading material master with LSMW.
I have murged 2 company codes in one so while creating material master system is asking me tax classification data in sales view for 2 country sales org and distrubition channel. I am using sap std LSMW for material master creation.
system is giving me error as " tax classification data not maintained completely".
need your valuable help to solve this problem

Tax classification data is mandatory field in Sales view of MM01.
Check out you mapping for the tax classification fields. usually classification value is 0 OR 1.
You can first test the values in MM01 Sales View with the legacy data you have and this way you will able to find the mandatory fields also and can see the valid values for the fields.
Remember you may have more than one Tax Classification values depending on the country code.
For that you can add those many columns in legacy data file and map them.
Hope it helps.
