Material Master workflow. Doubt?

Hi friends,
I am having a Existing Material Master workflow.
In that there is 1 tcode JI1D.Its working fing before i am modifying below activity.
Now i am modifying this workflow ie i am including 1 CONDITION TYPE in this tcode.
If plant is INDIA then call this JIID.Else skip this tcode.Only if ...else thats all.
Then i moved to PRODUCTION.
Its not triggering for both plant.
Pls suggest
Moosa

Hello,
Did it work in Development?
Did it work in Test?
Did the transport succeed without errors?
Have you done a SWU_OBUF?
How is it not working?

    Can anybody explain what is Material master workflow & Function Module ?what is its use?

    Dear,
    You can find much info about workflows at: http://www.erpgenie.com/workflow/index.htm
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/EN/04/926f8546f311d189470000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
    Workflow is a tool for automating the business process so that the process itself flows smoothly, without bottlenecks and without dead ends. Critical parts of the process can be streamlined with deadline monitoring and contingency options. Participants are informed of milestones in the process. The process definition itself is powerful enough to allow business re-engineering with re-training and to eliminate the impact of workforce changes on the basic business process.
    SAP Business Workflow is the R/3 tool for handling the process automation within R/3 or between R/3 systems and other systems involved in the business process. It is flexible enough to handle ad hoc processes such as the circulation of an electronic document. It is robust enough to handle mission critical process in the production system such as the creation of a material master.
    The different R/3 applications supply standard workflows for the commonly occurring processes. Once these workflow templates are activated, they are ready for immediate use. A complete set of workflow tools, including the workflow editor and workflow generation wizard, are provided to enhance these standard workflows or create new workflows. These tools are complemented with transactions for monitoring, tracking and the statistical analysis of the processes.
    Because the business process often does not step at the R/3 boundary, various interfaces and third party tools are available for extending the process across systems.
    Function module
    Function modules are procedures that are defined in special ABAP programs only, so-called function groups, but can be called from all ABAP programs. Function groups act as containers for function modules that logically belong together. You create function groups and function modules in the ABAP Workbench using the Function Builder.
    Function modules allow you to encapsulate and reuse global functions in the SAP System. They are managed in a central function library. The SAP System contains several predefined functions modules that can be called from any ABAP program. Function modules also play an important role during updating  and in interaction between different SAP systems, or between SAP systems and remote systems through remote communications.
    Unlike subroutines, you do not define function modules in the source code of your program. Instead, you use the Function Builder. The actual ABAP interface definition remains hidden from the programmer. You can define the input parameters of a function module as optional. You can also assign default values to them. Function modules also support exception handling. This allows you to catch certain errors while the function module is running. You can test function modules without having to include them in a program using the Function Builder.
    The Function Builder  also has a release process for function modules. This ensures that incompatible changes cannot be made to any function modules that have already been released. This applies particularly to the interface. Programs that use a released function module will not cease to work if the function module is changed.

  • Re : Material Master Workflow

    Hi Friends,
               I'm in the process of creating Material Master Workflow (i.e) Basic data will be created by one person (initiator) and the workflow gets started and various views will be created by different people.
              Usine BUS1001006 methods Getmissedviews and createviews i'm sending workitems to the respective persons for creating views.  The method CreateView is an asynchronous task hence the terminating event is required.
              The problem i'm facing is even if one view is created , the workitems in other's inbox is removed.
    Can any one help me onthis regard.....

  • Material Master Workflow

    Hi,
    We are planning to implement the same thing. <as described in [this thread|Re : Material Master Workflow;>
    Can u please provide me the valuable inputs for the same?
    I have just started the preparing initial document,
    so if anyone can provide me the details about this, I would be very grateful.
    Initially i was planning to create one module pool program. Anyone who wants to create a material will go to that transaction and will create the basic data. Once he saves that data a chain of e-mails can be sent to other concerned persons. These people will enter the respective data and then they will send this to sap-core team. I was planning to introduce SAP-Workflow here only. We have thress level approval process.
    But idea of creating / maintaining different views via sap-workflow is very appealing , so now thinking
    of giving a try to this!
    Waiting for any inputs and your experiences on working this.
    Regards,
    Vinod.

    Hi Parag,
    Is BUS1001 still the right object for material (I see in 46C its event ViewCreated has been flagged obsolte.
    You should otherwise be able to base your next step on this event. In my system 46C, BUS1001006 would be the right object to use.
    hope this helps,

  • Material Master workflow - how to use a BAPI?

    Hi,
    I need some help with a material master workflow.
    My requirement is to automate some changes to the material master as steps in the workflow, they are:
    Set the Cross plant material status
    Set the material deletion flag
    I see that the BAPI SAVEDATA is available as a method of BOR BUS1001006. I have created a task with this method but I cannot work out how to automate the changes to the material in the workflow using it?
    Has anyone used this BAPI method in a workflow before, how do I automate the changes to the material using it? or is there another way to make changes to the material as a background step in my workflow?
    Many thanks,
    Neil

    All,
    thanks ever so much for all your input... I have fixed the problem and it was obscure!
    Firstly my binding was wrong... I should not have bound the clientdata and the clientdatax
    since the settings I was trying to default (material status an del flag) from the master task were actually being overwritten with this binding. bit of a schoolboy error that one.
    Secondly I created 1 brand new task and reused 1 old task for the purposes of setting the material status and the deletion flag respectively.
    I managed to get the first one working this morning by removing the binding, the second one still errored with the message about source and target structures being different... which got me thinking, so I created a brand new task for setting the deletion flag and ... it worked!
    So why? ... then I realised.
    We just upgraded to EHP7 and this workflow existed prior to EHP7. I copied the workflow and edited it for my new business requirements. Reading some of the release notes it turns out the structures have changed and there were conversion routines for fixing them.
    All sorted now!

  • Material Master workflow views

    I have a material master workflow which determines the views of material number. Configuration is there for several warehouses and getting warehouse view extension for all warehouses. My question is how do I avoid workflow for certain warehouses? Please note I don't want to remove/change configuration, it is needed in near future.
    Thank you,
    Nagarajan

    Hi,
    My question is how do I avoid workflow for certain warehouses?
    Please note I don't want to remove/change configuration, it is needed in near future.
    So I hope you are trying to start the workflow by making use of events, if this is true then there will be an entry maintained in the txn SWE2.I think the best way to handle is to make use of the Check Function module, This is beacuse I am not sure whether you would be able to get the warehouse information in a BOR Business object,
    So try to create a check function module and map this function module against the entry in the SWE2 txn. There you would be having the flexibility write your own validations, and later in future if you want to either include or exclude the validation you can do it easily...
    The main purpose of the check function module is to do this kind of validations and validate the event.... IF you feel that the workflow should not receive the event then raise a exception in the check function module this makes sure that the workflow wont trigger for that specific warehouses.

  • Material Master Workflow Solution

    Hello All,
    I have a question/scenario I would like some feedback on regarding the material master.  Right now I have a requirement to create a new portal application for the users to use, replacing our lotus notes application, to add materials to SAP.  This would require us to develop several screens for all of the fields, different fields for the approval process, and another workflow to handle the approval process. 
    After some analysis we thought we could add a workflow to the CREATE event for a material and allow that to generate a work item after the user creates a new material in MM01.  The problem being this would already be saved to the DB and we shouldn't be deleting master data.  We then went a step further and are debating if we should add logic to the enhancement point (MGA00001) in MM01 after the save to kick off the workflow and leave the transaction.
    This solution would look something like this:
    --User enters new material information in MM01
    --At save we check the users authorization
    -- If they are allowed to create materials we allow MM01 to finish as usual
      ELSE
        --- We kick off the workflow and generate a work item to be approved by the proper roles. The transaction would show a popup confirming the workflow was triggered and exit the transaction
    --Workflow would execute appropriate tasks for the approval process and if/when it is approved would call a BAPI to create the material; finishing the process.
    This solution would cut down on our development time for the web portal and allow us to use existing functionality for validations, drop downs, auto-fill features, etc etc.  My concern comes in with is it a best practice to modify existing SAP transactions to terminate even if we are within the supplied enhancement point? 
    I apologize if this is in the incorrect forum. I wasn't sure this belonged in the ERP-Financial/MM/SC forums as it is not a functional issue and it seems to business specific to be a general ABAP inquiry.
    Thanks,
    Cullen

  • Create Material master workflow

    Hi I need to create a workflow that firstly creates a material with the basic data views (in the background) using passed in data, and the next step will then trigger some tasks to create material views.  But I can't find a business object to do this.  I have found BUS1001 but the create method is now obsolete, and I am not sure how I am meant to populate the attributes of BUS1001006?

    I am not sure how I am meant to populate the attributes of BUS1001006
    No worries, you are on the right path. The BOR which you found is  the right one , now what you have to do is in order to pass the values when the material is created , you need to first give the START EVENTS in the workflow basic data and actiavte the binding. And before this you need to create a container element in the workflow I hope it is MATNR , for more information regarding the parameters check the event parameters of the BOR BUS1001006 and the event CREATED then you can get a idea  on what all the elements that are required to create in the WF, after declaring the container elements in the workflow. the simple thig you have to do is BINDING.
    Now create a material, by default the parameters are passed to the workflow that you designed.

  • Material master workflow for changes

    Hi Experts
    I have a requirement to trigger multiple material workflows for all the plants that have a blocked status in MRP1 when the material gets uploaded into SAP from a third party.
    I have used SWEC and created a new 'MaterialChanged' event and put a start condition for the workflow to look at the MRP1/status.
    This looks to work fine as long as there is one plant and its MRP1 has blocked status. I am not able to figure out how to handle if there is a multiple plant specific data for a material and all or some of the plants are blocked, this is when multiple workflows are expected to trigger for each plant. Each plant has got different set of approvers.
    Because I think the 'trigger' will happen only once for a material irrespective of how many plants the material may have.
    If any of you have handled this kind of scenario, appreciate your help.
    Thanks 
    Sasi

    Hi,
    I think the easiest would be to just echance the business object with an attribute if there are any plants with the blocked status.
    then in your workflow, you retrieve how many plants there are with blocked status and then use that data in the other tab for multiline element in a subworkflow.
    This will create all the workflows per plant.

  • Workflow Help regarding Material master workflow

    Hi,
    I have a requirement as follows...anyone can help me or tell me the possibility of doing this..
    1. Basis material will be created with mandatory fields.
    2.Once the above material is stored it has to trigger workflow to inimate 10 members to fillup the fields(appropriate) for this material based on the material type and the fields to which they are attached or responsible.
    3. In the sameway the plant data needs to be maintained by 5 persons in addition to the above based on the plant.
    Help me to setting up this in ECC 6.0.
    Regards

    Hi,
    this sounds like a great iteration on the MM02 transaction. If the users can live with the standard screens, you can call transaction with a view corresponding to the selection in the beginning of the screen. The real chalange in this workflow is how to controle and maintain all the agents to do which enrichment of the material. This can be done with a small workflow, where you construct a large controle table, in which you can maintain, who will (or what roles) will maintain which views. When the agents have been found, create a subworkflow to run in parallel, for each agent.
    Hope it makes sence.
    Kind regards

  • Blocking Material Master for Workflow

    Dear colleagues,
    We are customizing creating and changing of material master workflow, i.e., screens will be generated by various people and supervisors of the initiators will be approved. For this purpose, I use Business Object BUS1001006 to serve it. But my problem is when a material master is created or changed in one of the views; I want to block that material in use of PO or whatsoever until confirmation is done by respected supervisor. Is there any field available, like in vendor master (LFA1 u2013 CONFS and LFB1 u2013 CONFS), in material master tables like MARA, MARD or etc?
    Best regards,

    Dear,
    You can very well acheive the functionality which you are expecting.
    You can block the material in MM06...here set the deletion flag....
    Now set the message as Error for Message number ME 051 in the below mentioned path:
    Spro-MM-Purchasing-Environment Data-Define Attributes of System Messages-System messages
    Now users can not create any PO with this material untill and unless you go and remove the deletion flag in MM06.

    You may not get the complete standard form which will match this functionality. But you can develop your business logic in custom code for fetching the data and the interface and use the standard templates for layouts if any template matches your requirement.

  • Material master doubt

    Hi all,
    I am very much confused in what to fill in few fields of material master.
    Please let me know in case of ROH, HALB and FERT material masters, what to fill in :
    1._In house production days_?(My doubt here is in house production days will be suppose 2 days for 2 quantities and 1 day for 1 quantity.So do i need to give 1 day or 2 days for in house production days?
    Next doubt: If my in house production days are 2 hours for 1 quantity( for example I am in HALB or FERT material master), how will i put 2 hours? that field only takes in terms of days! I cant put decimals.Do i need to go to in work scheduling view and at bottom I need to give base quantity as 48 if I have given 2hours in inhouse production days??
    2.setup, teardown, processing, and interoperation times, base quantity in work scheduling view
    My doubt here is for HALB and FERT anyhow I am giving time in routings, why to give it here also? more over base quantity is given with what reference? is it like setup, teardown, processing, and interoperation times are given total for base quantity 20 quantity( for example)?
    3.Replenishment lead time: what data to give here? what will happen if I do not give anything? what will happen if I have given GR processing and planned delivery time also and the addition of these two is not equal to replenishment lead time?(is it related to replenishment lead time in any way??
    Please reply in all 3 cases: ROH, HALB, FERT
    I am into implementation and my client is asking me daily and I am very much confused.
    Regards,
    Mohammad Arif.

    Hi,
    Setup, inter opn, teardown
    Yes the base qty specified here should be the common base qty for all the above
    The Lead time data maintained in Material master is considered if you choose "Basic scheduling" in scheduling field during MRP run (check MD02)
    If you choose " Lead time scheduling" in that field then the data in routing is considered
    In house prodn time:
    In-house production time is independent of the order quantity.
    The system requires the in-house production time to determine the planned dates for planned orders in materials planning (If you choose basic scheduling).
    If you want it to be on basis of lot size... then specify you enter the setup, teardown, processing, and interoperation times. If you maintain these values, the system determines the in-house production time on the basis of lot size.
    Total Replenishment lead time
    Total replenishment lead time (in workdays)
    The total replenishment lead time is the time needed before the product is completely available again, that is, after all BOM levels have been procured or produced. It is not calculated by the system, but defined in this field as the total of the in-house production time(s) and/or the planned delivery time(s) of the longest production path.
    This time is necessary if, for materials produced in-house, the replenishment lead time is to be taken into consideration in the availability check.
    In an availability check where the system takes the replenishment lead time into consideration, it only checks whether there are sufficient incoming quantities and stocks available to cover the requirements within the replenishment lead time. Outside the replenishment lead time,the system assumes that the material is available in sufficient quantity.
    Therefore, in this situation, it is usually necessary to depict the product's total replenishment lead time with all BOM levels as the replenishment lead time.
    Use
    The following options exist for materials produced in-house if the replenishment lead time is included in the availability check:
    The Total replenishment lead time field is maintained.
    In this case, the time maintained in this field is used for the availability check.
    The Total replenishment lead time field is not maintained.
    In this case, the system reads the in-house production time and, if available, the goods receipt processing time, and interprets the total of these two times as the replenishment lead time for the availability check.
    Note
    There is no point in maintaining the Total replenishment lead time field for materials procured externally. In external procurement, the system adds the processing time from purchasing, the planned delivery time, and the goods receipt processing time and uses this total as the replenishment lead time for an availability check with replenishment lead time.
    Regards,
    Ashok
