Multiple Item Master Issues

We are looking to add a newly aqcuired company to our Apps instance. What parameters MUST be shared across both companies? For example, we would not want to use all the same flexfield structures (stock locator, item catalog, item category, etc), since the businesses are in different markets, and their items are not at all related. Can this be done in the same instance?

Hi
In Oracle application you have the concept of single structure and multiple structures flexfields, For example for one instance you can have only one structure for system item flexfield but in the case of item categories you can create multiple structure i.e. you can create multiple structure in single instance.

Multiple Item Master Organizations

We are working on an Oracle Implementation for a large firm in South Korea.
Our client covers many different industires and operate nationally,
it is inevitable to use Multi-Organization structure.
And we are also considering implementing multiple item master organizations
under one installation of Oracle applications.
( Acutally We have 1 Set Of Books, 1 Legal Entity, 13 Operating Units )
Cause there are much difference between chemical industry and Heavy Industry,
Our Client says it just has little business impacts with 2 separate item master organizations.
But According to Oracle documents, Oracle does recommend not to difine
multiple item masters.
We are not sure if there could be much functional or technical impacts with multiple item master organizations.
Cause we have no reference site here in Korea.
Has anyone been involved in this type of situation before?
Are there any other points for considerations?
We would very appreciate hearing from you ASAP.
Thank you

I am not sure if i understood everything but I would say go with single item master. Its simple & easily to manage item attribute later on.

Personalization on Item Master Issue

Hi All,
I have facing personalization in Item Master Form. In which i have need to check DFF on validation on MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS block.
If DFF value already exist then message will popup. On this way personalization work perfectly on duplicate DFF value but the
Popup message shows 13 times on screen. How can i show popup only 1 time.
Trigger Event: WHEN-VALIDATE-RECORD
Trigger Block: MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS
Condition: xx_duplicate_item(:mtl_system_items.attribute11)>1
Action:
Message Type: Warn
Message Text: Your are entering duplicate legacy item code please enter correct code....
Function:create or replace function xx_duplicate_item (v_legacy_item in varchar2) return number as
v_count number;
Begin
select count(*) into v_count
from mtl_system_items_b
where attribute11=v_legacy_item
and organization_id=84;
return v_count;
exception
when others then
return 0;
end;
Please advice what i am missing here....

Hi,
Instad of Trigger Event WHEN-VALIDATE-RECORD can you use WHEN-NEW-ITEM-INSTANCE?
The idea is to start the Action when the user places the cursor in a certain field.

10.5.0.142 Multiple items information issue

Hi guys,
I'm using iTunes v10.5.0.142 now. I've just recognized the latest iTunes is a bit buggy as I can't edit multiple songs' informations, such as Part of compilation, Gapless playback, etc. I mean the checkboxes on the Options sheet are there and active but the dropdown menus are inactive regardless of whether I click the checkboxes or not (see attachement, sorry for localized version of iTunes). I can edit these informations for each songs separately but it's very annoying and it takes forever (just imported about 1000 tracks from my audio CDs to iTunes). Can somebody help me how to activate those inactive dropdowns or solve this issue any other way?
Thank you!

Item master Item mapping with multiple vendors

Hi Experts,
I need your help, I have one item like 'TV' in item master and need to enter multiple prices make wise samsung,sony,lg like.
How can I maintain this in SAP B1 2005B.
One Item mapping with multiple vendors with price...
Thanks,

Dear Aarti,
I would recommend to have multiple items for the different brands you are selling.
For example, you can call the item code Samsung, Sony etc and all of these item can be added to an item group called TV.
Then you can assign a price to the items in the price lists.
Alternatevely, if you need to have one single item called TV and different prices according to the brand, create a number of price lists called Sony, Sumsung etc and then if you know which customers buy a particular brand you can connect the price list to the customer under
Business partner master data - Payment Terms - Price list.
Please, if these 2 options are not helpful let us know the exact scenario and business reason behind your request.
Kind Regards,

Order multiple quantity in item master data

Hello experts,
I cannot import from Excel file new values for order multiple quantity in item master data (in section planning data). After importing I see that records were imported successfully, but all data which we put in past have been changed to zero and planning method is changed from MRP at None. We have 8.81 PL10 (updating at the end of January).
Do you have any similar experience?
Thank you,
jonmar7

Dear JonMar7,
I have done this in SAP 8.8.1 PL08 using the Import/Export under utilities and seems to be normal. I have only chosen Item and Order Multiple for my template.

Delete Multiple Records from Item Master

Hi,
We received wrong master data which has been uploaded and two groups have to be deleted. All the items in those particular groups have also to be deleted. Can anyone suggest how to delete multiple records from Item Master?
Currently I am navigating through each Item and doing a Right Click + Remove. It is very painful given the huge number of records.
Regards
Sudatt

Hi Sudatt.....
I recommend you not to run any kind of delete or update SQL query as it harms DB.
You can create your own front end application with the help of any technical consultant which can be
achieved very easily. Else such problems create a big problem during upgradation to next version.......

Thanks,
VinodVinod,
you need to have organization access for all the org's which you need to assign item..
For example i have vision china..which is both inventory org and OU..and M1 which is inventory org..which is under ision operations..i have given inventory organization access to both this org to inventory super user responisibility..
Now when i create a item in v1 item master..i should able to see M1 and vision china in organization assignments.
so that i can assign the item to vision china as well

Item Master Data issue

Hi Experts,
How to set Manager Inventory by Warehouse status on whole Item Master Data at once?
Regards,
Ravi Jha
Edited by: Ravi_Jha_SDN on Jul 22, 2010 8:52 AM

Hello Ravi...
I would strongly urge you to never update any SAP B1 table with the SQL. For several reasons:
1. SAP B1 is a strongly integrated data structure and you might think you are updating the correct field and all will be fine, but there are so many foreign keys in SAP B1 it is unbelievable (you can see this in the bolded names in the Query Generator). For folks having worked with SAP B1 for some time, they will tell you not all foreign keys are bolded and that can cause a bit of a problem. If you update a field and it is used somewhere else, the results can be total havoc.
2. It is SAP policy (due to the above) that, if an SAP B1 table is updated via SQL, it is almost certain they will not help you in case you have a problem requiring a fix through SAP. Even if you try to apply the fix yourself and it goes wrong, you will certainly be in dire straits. Your only recourse is to go back to a previous backup or to do a complete reinstall (and the effort then becomes an enormous manual or Data Transfer Workbench - DTW - effort).
3. It is not hard for SAP to determine how you have updated your tables. I once appeared in court as a forensic expert to settle a dispute between two parties on some changed information in invoicing. I received some help from some SAP folks I know. After sitting in the witness stand for 15 minutes and explaining in layman's terms what I was about to do, the defense called a recess and pleaded guilty to the charges. If I can be that efffective in determining how something was changed, guess how quickly SAP can do it!
4. You will at some time come across the need to do a DTW in the normal buisness life of your system. Learn DTW with small fixes like this "Manage Inventory by Warehouse" so you can get comfortable with it. As Manish points out, folks here will help you. I have seen folks being helped over and over again in this and other forums. I know from personal experience DTW can be a bit difficult, but I am glad I took the time to learn. Also, I have heard in Version 8.8 it is much better.
5. You might be under pressure to get that quick fix and/or update in, but in my experience, once you explain why it is taking a bit longer to the powers that be, the business folks will 99% of the time understand that the best course of action is to take some time and use the SAP DTW or Administration > Data Import/Export function to get fields updated. (NOTE: some companies advertise they have an add-on or tool that can update the fields within SAP policy, but be very careful with this and check their claim completely with partners and SAP - this claim is a lot of times not true).
I do not want to rain on anyone's parade here - it is your choice. And this is only my own personal opinion, but I just want to make sure you understand what the consequences might be pertaining to your decision. That is my intention - nothing more and nothing less...

Deployment in Multiple countries, Single Item Master

Hi,
We have a Business Group in country A. Item master defined for the same. System is live since last year.
This year we are planning to implement R12 for country B.
1. Can we use the same Item Master for country B as well? I read Oracle suggests to use 1 item master only for the ease of maintenance. Both countries A and B have separate Business Groups. So if we intend to use item master of A in B, what should be the setup so that we can view Item master while defining financial options in inventory setups in B. Currently it is not coming under the LOV.
2. What is an item validation org? How is it different than an Item master.
Thanks for your time and help beforehand.

You need to set the profile "HR:Cross Business Group" as "Yes" to get the master org visible across business group.
The link - http://oracle.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical-functional/oracle-apps-l/use-of-same-master-organization-in-moac-4687847 talks about the same.

Image will not load into item master

Is anyone aware of any specific issues that would prevent an image from loading into the Item Master. NOTE 952632 just suggests that the file is corrupt but it opens in several image editors so I am relatively convinced that it is not corrupt. It is also not a size issue in that I have larger images loading. It is occurring with a variety of images. I have hundreds that load just fine but some that do not. The permissions and location of all images, those that load and those that do not, are the same.

Editing and changing the name did not have any affect. Converting it to TIF or BMP enabled it to load. Seems odd that it works most of the time but not always. Unfortunate that we will have to have inconsistent image types and we use the same image for multiple purposes but for now, I will change those that don't load, strictly for the purpose of displaying them in SAP.
Thanks for your time Gordon

How do I update grouping or description for multiple items?

As the question implies, I would like to update information in the Grouping and Description fields for multiple items as a way to keep things organized. What I have discovered is that there are some quirks in the new Get Info window that were not in past implementations, which are completely inexplicable and nonsensical to me.
For instance, when you open the Get Info window for an item that has no information in, for instance, the Grouping field, you will not see a Grouping input field, as in this screenshot. The Grouping field should be where the bottom arrow is. Notice also that the Description field is available. I will get back to that in a minute.
If you manually double-click into the Grouping field on the main iTunes screen, you can enter the information there. Then, when you open the Get Info window, ta-dah! The field magically reappears, as in the screenshot below.
The trouble comes when you want to edit this field for multiple tracks. If you select multiple tracks, and they do not all have the Grouping field already populated, the field does not appear. What this means is that you are forced to manually enter the information for every track! This is completely unacceptable when you need to edit information for, as in my case, 122 tracks. The following image shows the Get Info window that appears after selecting two items, one with the Grouping field manually populated, and one with no info in the Grouping field.
Not only has the Grouping field disappeared, but the Description field, as well. Thanks, Apple, but I think I can decide for myself whether or not to populate these fields for multiple items. Let's get 'em back, huh?
SO… does anyone know of any valid method for accomplishing this task? Without manually entering the same information in hundreds of fields? This is the future; computers are supposed to do these monotonous tasks for us, aren't they?
Oh, please don't suggest Option-clicking to open the older, better, Get Info window, as Apple has decided that we should not have that option any longer. We apparently have to organize our music their way. Think different!

The Add Field button was in the editors of 12.0.1 (where the new-style editors had a very "half-finished" feel) - it is not there in 12.1. Apple have determined which metadata fields should be available for each kind of media, with no option for the user to modify this. In Apple's own words: "Get Info has been completely redesigned in iTunes 12 to focus your attention only on what’s necessary for the selected item."
The only options are:
temporarily change the media kind (Options tab) to one that includes the field you want to add values to, enter those values, and then change the media kind back again
make the relevant fields visible in an appropriate list view and edit values there - the big limitation being that you can only do this one item at a time
I can see - to a degree - why Apple may have made some limitations so that metadata elements are available based on their relevance to different media kinds. However, one of the issues mentioned above seems like a bug - if a single audiobook file can have a Description tab, I see no reason at all for that not to be available for multiple items of the same kind.
If not already done so, report these issues and dissatisfaction with the "new" metadata editors in 12.1 (and the absence of a "back door" for the old-style ones) using Apple's iTunes feedback page.

Multiple Item Codes in a MRP Generated PR

Dear Sir,
We have a requirement to have "Multiple Item Codes" in a single PR . The PR are generated thru MRP . The criterion to have multiple Items in a single PR is that a PR will contain multiple Items codes pertaining to the same Material-Group .
We have come to know that for this MD15 tcode can be used . But the problem with this is that there is manual effort required for clubbing of multiple Items in a single PR from the planned order .
We look forward for some automatic way for handling the above requirement .
Request you to kindly help me on the above issue please .
