Migration of Variant Configuration Master Data

Hi,
Could you please guide what is the best method for Migration of Variant Configuration Master Data from SAP to SAP and from Legacy to SAP.
1.     Send Object Dependencies
2.     Send Characteristics
3.     Send Variant Functions
4.     Send Variant Table Structure
5.     Send Object Dependencies again
6.     Send Classes.

Hi,
So i have configured the system accordingly with the OSS Notes 954816 and 956054. This should allow that knew created master data customers could be replicated in the FDSCM-COL to the business partners.
I'm know trying to use the MDS_LOAD_COCKPIT to migrate the old customers master data but the system seems to not create any data.
Does this transaction needs to have any other configuration more our to activate any BAPI ?
PS: I tried to activate the FDM_PARTNER_MAP_COLL bapi but the system did not allowed stating the message ENHANCEMENT194.

ECATT: Failure of eCATT Scripts Due To Changed Configuration & Master Data

Hello,
=> I am using eCATT mainly for the configuration testing. And with the changes in configuration, field sequences as well as changes in screen sequences were observed which were not there during recording time. So all the affected scripts failed.
Again, with the change in master data, which caused extra screen sequences or Messages which were not there during recording time caused the eCATT scripts failure.
As the same server can be used by different projects where the configuration or mainly the master data will keep on changing, how to ensure the success of eCATT scripts.
=> The target system during recording time was different and at the time of execution is different. So both are maintained in the system data container.
Due to some reason, the recording time target system was removed from the system data container. And new target system was specified at execution time. Scripts failed saying that target system of recording time doesn't exist in system data container. This problem was sorted out by adding again the recording time target system in system data container.
What if the server of recording time is not there physically during execution time? Will the eCATT scripts fail as earlier?
If so then how to workout the situation as the number of scripts are too large to change the target system in script itself.
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
>Scripts failed saying that target system of recording >time doesn't exist in system data container.
Please check, if there is really no usage of the "old" target system name anymore. Potential usage could be at some commands or at some command interfaces of disabled commands (meaning "commented" commands).
If you can not find the usage of your old target system which leads to the problem and if you require a solution for that open a sap support ticket.
I think, the whole target system control was also improved from WAS 6.20 to WAS 6.40.

Variant configuration questions

HI Gurus,
Pls help me answer following two questions
1.Is there a way i can transfer the variant configuration master data(Characteristics, class,dependencies etc) to other(quality, production) system automatically?
2.In case of inconsistency in the VC configuration system says "Configuration is inconsistent" it doesn't give any specific message where the inconsistency happened.Pls let me know is there a way i can give specific message when inconsistency happenes.
Example: when user selects car model 1105, colour red should not be allowed.In this case i want to send a message "For model 1105, colour red not allowed" not just "configuration inconsistent"
Thanks,
KRishna

1) Data that is used in Varaint Config (Classes, Characteristics, Object Dependencies, etc .................) can be sent to other Clients by ALE).
2) When you see that you have an inconsitency, double click on the Red Error, this will bring up a Window with the Characteristic and Value that is inconsistent. Next click on the Object Dependency Button, under the window title bar. This wil show you the Object Dependency that is raising the inconsistency. Variant also has a Trace Tool that you can use to watch Object dependencies, to see the Value before the Object dependency set the Value, and than the Value after the Object dependency.

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

Variant Configuration in SAP CRM

Hello all
My client is currently using SAP R/3 4.7 and heavily use VC for configurable products and also for pricing but in the process of moving to ECC
Now we wish to explore the possibility of using SAP CRM 7.0 to enable our sales force to use CRM Web GUI to create quotes and sales orders ( in the future) for configurable materials.
My questions are as following:-
1. Is it possible to download all VC related data into CRM from R/3 including pricing? I understand that for different VC object, I will have to use different CRM objects but is it possible? If the data transfer is possible, is it typically done by a middleware resource?
2. I would also like to confirm that by creating a run time version and Kbase is required to enable the download to CRM.
3. No changes are possible on the product that can be replicated back to ECC
4. Looking at the forums - I gather that "from CRM 2007 the PME is replaced with WEB UI in CRM. IF you want to do the modeling of a product then u need to use WEB UI and also for generating the KB" - does anyone have any information on this using the XCM ?
If you could please point me to the appropriate help on this topic, I would really appreciate it.
Best regards
Raj

Hi Anne,
Hope you have done the following settings -
The product is marked as configurable in the product master data.
Product configuration is activated. You activate product configuration in Customizing under Customer Relationship Management Master Data Products Settings for Configurable Products Allow Configurable Products for a Product Type . For more information about activating product configuration, see SAP Note 854170.
You have created a product model (SAP CRM), or replicated a knowledge base with the configuration master data from SAP ERP to SAP CRM
These are mentioned in the below link -
Product Configuration with the Configuration Engine in SAP CRM - SAP Library
Hope this will be useful.
Thanks and Regards

Creation of sales order with Variant configuration info

Hi friends,
   I am creating sales order along with Variant configuration data. We have 3 level BOM structure.
I am using BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2 and filling in ORDER_CFGS_REF, ORDER_CFGS_INST, ORDER_CFGS_PART_OF ORDER_CFGS_VALUE, ORDER_CFGS_REFINST
tables exactly the same way BAPISDORDER_GETDETAILEDLIST FM returns.
Sales order is being created with no variant configuration information.(Not in the header level atleast)
Can any one help me on this.
Thanks

Updating Variant Configuration data for SO item became little tricky for us in an ongoing implementation. After spending some hours investigating the correct combination of data to pass, we were able to post the document correctly. As no detailed documentation is available online for this scenario, I hope this post will help community for similar requirements. J
For updating Variant configuration (VC) data for Sales order item, we need to populate below tables of standard FM or BAPI (e.g. SD_SALESDOCUMENT_CREATE).
Normally the standard FM or BAPI does not return any error messages in case configuration data is not updated successfully.
·         SALES_SCHEDULES_IN: The required date field should be populated with appropriate value (REQ_DATE).
·         SALES_ITEMS_IN: Field PO_ITM_NO should be populated with appropriate value.
·         SALES_CFGS_REF Table:
1.       This table should have 1 record per item.
2.       Combination of CONFIG_ID and ROOT_ID should be unique across line items.

Non-SAP to SAP Material Master Data Transfer

Hi Experts,
Please indicate any standard tools in SAP and how to use it wherein we can migrate non-SAP material master data to SAP.
Points will be awarded.
Regards,
LM

Hello Leo,
There are a number of options to do this. You can use the standard SAP tool named LSMW - Legacy System Migration Workbench (transaction LSMW) as a starting point.
Also please read this [Documentation|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/0d/414538bc0fe927e10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm] before undertaking the data migration activity via LSMW.
Additionally, there is also a Direct Input program available named RMDATIND - please go through the program documentation before you use it. You can use this program to transfer material master data to SAP but
make sure you assign this program through LSMW for mapping structures etc. The internet link above will give
more details and step-by-step instructions to follow.
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Sougata.
p.s. It is sad to see useful answers remain unrewarded such as this one!

Master data in PS: Different interpretations

Hi Experts,
In certain Business blue prints, i have seen that the project objects like PD, WBS, NWA are described as master data. in some case, the standard templates are specified as PS master data. Of course, as per SAP menu, the work center and statistical key figures are the part of master data.
There is little ambiduity. My understanding is that, master data is the one which is a record for predefined information for repeated usage in transaction. Master data like material, vendor, customer etc falls under this category.
The Project objects are defined specific to transaction.
To avoid various interpretations and arrive unique understanding, i invite comments from experts.
warm regards
ramSiva

Hi,
The Project System module uses the work breakdown structure and network as operational data for structuring, planning, and executing projects. Depending on the type of project and how it is configured, master data from other business areas is used in the project.
The Project System module has no organizational units of its own. Depending on the project type and configuration, the organizational units from a wide range of areas are used (sales and distribution, purchasing, production, accounting, controlling, personnel, and so on).
Some of the supporting master data used in PS is listed below,
MM - Material Master, Vendor Master, Purchasing Info Record
SD - Customer Master, Pricing Conditions
PP - Work Center, Bill of Material
FI/CO - Chart of Accounts, Cost Elements, Cost Centers, Activity Types, Activity Prices
PS - Standard WBS Template, Standard Network Template
I would suggest you to refer the help documents instead of Blue prints to gain more understanding on these things.
With Regards,
Gokul

Master data templete

Hi All,
I am newly move to ISU from SD, and was trying to configure Master Data Templete in ISU but not able to do it
Can any one please help me with a document how to create Master data templete in ISU,
Thanks and Regards

MDTs are mostly used for Master Data creation which includes Business Master data (Business Partner and contract account) and Technical Master data (Conn Obj, Premise, installation , etc ).
[Creation Steps:.|http://sapro.blogspot.com/2008/07/isu-master-data-template-how-to-create.html]
Further, typically, the master data is created during Move-in process in IS-U module.
In the latest version of IS-U i.e ECC 6.0,. the MDTs are called from Park document, whcih is used for move-in/move-out process with ISU. If you are using latest version of CRM (Web IC) then the Park document screen are ready available in CRM so you directly create park doc in ISU via CRM, which further triggers the MDTs during move-in. If you are using CRM version 5 or below then MDT is called from CRM middleware.
Eitherway you need create MDTs based on your requirement atleast one with category BPARTNER (for BP and CA) and one with category CRMNEWCONTRACT for new move-in contract.
Regards,
Siva

Details about Master production Scheduling & Variant configuration

1) What are the steps for Master Production Scheduling (MPS)?
2) What are the steps for Variant Configuration?

Hi,
MPS:
With in your planning time fence (maintained in mat master ) , you will get firmed planned orders because your MRP Type P1 - P4 has firming type.
And the firmed planned orders will not change after next MRP run.
You have to set MRP Type p1 - p4. acc to firming type. in ur mat master.
Then run MPS .It is generally for important products and it is run single level.Because it will not change your procurement proposals as it has firming type.So you get effective planning for your imp products.
Variant configuration:
Go to mm01 create a material and in bd2 view mark the check box material is configurable and then save the material and go to ct04 create chara.
Go to cl01 and create class with class type 300 and assign the charac. to it
Go to tcode cu41 create the profile using material code and assign the class to it
then got tcode mm02 and assign the profile there
Variant configuration material type is KMAT (SAP std), u can use this material type alternately u can mark the indicator in basic data 2 view ->client specific configuration->Material is configurable tick.

Create a production order with variant configurator data

Hello,
Can anyone tell me the way to create a production order with variant configurator data. Is there a BAPI ? an IDOC ?
Is there several steps ?
I have to create an interface which creates automatically PP orders. The data input is a file.
Thanks for your help

Hi,
There are fews BAPI's available for creation of Production Order. They are:
BAPI_PRODORD_CREATE
This bapi will suit to your requirement, as input will be provided from file.
Others are
BAPI_PRODORD_CREATE_FROM_PLORD " this converts planned order to production order
BAPI_PRODORD_CREATE_FROM_REF " this creats production order considering other production order as reference.
Hope your query is answered.
