Problem with MMPV(close period for material master records)

Hy,
I'm really stuck in this weird problem.
I have already open 04.2008 period in MMPV and in MIGO transaction I got this error message:
Document date lies in the future.
Posting period 004 2008 is not open.
What should I do?
Please, someone help me.

First check the date in MIGO transaction.... is it current date ?
                                                                              (April's )
and then
go to OBBP and check the posting period variant,
                       of your Company code..
Now, go to OB52 and check the periods, they should be in
                           year 2008 for your posting period variant..

Hi,
Check in T.code: MMRV and see which period is open for ur Co.Code and back posting is allowed or not. If you are sure to open new period now of new posting to period 08, then
use t.code: MMPV ,
enter
Company code C999
Period to open 08
Fiscal Year 2010
Execute
( system will close the period last period 07 and automatically system open the new one 08)
Now try ur transaction.
if any problem, then check in FI Side:
Use t.code: OB52 and open the 08,2010 period in Account Types A, K, D,M, S and specially Account Type u201C+u201D which stands for valid for all accounts type and save. Better consult FICO consultant for OB52 step.

Open Period for material master record

Hi gurús
We´d just create a new company code and plant. After the activation of ML we started to make some materiales movements, but the system show the error message "Posting only possible in period XXX".
Whe we opened the period through MMPV tcode system confirm us that the last period open is 06/2005. But the company code and plant was created after that date (11/2009).
How it is possible? From where the system is taking the date?
Thanks in advance for the help
Regards
Enzo

Hi,
See the date came as from which Company code your Company is Created, as well the Factory calender Might be Copied with the Calender and never Started the Update program. there are many reason's it happens.
So one thing As Your ABAPer to Try execute the program RMMMPERI upto today's Period. so that you can be able to do the process.
as Well as ABAPer to maintain background job through SM38 for program RMMMPERI in SAP so that you will never found the place to update the periods per month.

XML message for material master records

Hello experts
We want to implement an interface with material master records to be sent to our customers. This interface is proposed to be in XML. Can you please provide me with links or documents that explain how to integrate XML within SAP regarding master data maintenance.
I need to know how we can trigger the XML message and where to include the logic of the attributes to be sent.
Thank you in advance,
Alejandra

Hi
You can do this scenario in BSP , better sit with ABAP and Portal(BSP) Consultant .
they can give much more idea about this. Using BSP you can evaluate this requirement.

Classification Data Creation for Material Master Record

Hi all.
I've a batch that update material master record with a Bapi "Bapi_material_savedata". After Material creation or changing we also need to insert or to change a classification data in the classification view of the material master record.
Is there a function module that could be useful to update the classification data of a material?
Thanks
Carlo

Hi Ravikumar,
I tried to use the function module, but it doesn't works well, is it necessary thet material must have the Calssification view already set on?

Problem with updating ABC indicator for Material

Hi All,
My client wants to run cycle count for one warehouse.Since the material master does not have ABC indicator in Storage view, Iam using MIBC for updating the Material Master. But after executing MIBC also ABC indicator is not getting updated in the Material master. Please help.
Rgds
Srinivas

Hi, You need to have an history of at least several months of movements in order to do this analysis. You need also to flag "all articles held in stock" in order to select articles without ABC indicator. Rgds, Philippe

Open a previous period in material master record

I'm working in a test system and current period was closed and so was the next period. So period 3/2008 is closed, period 4/2008 is closed, and now 5/2008 is the current period. I know I can post to the previous period but that doesn't help me because I need to post for 3/2008.
My question is can I reopen 3/2008? If so what is the potiential problems I'll run into if I do?
Thanks,
Matt

Hi,
NOTE: Involve also FICO Consultant and collect all the documents before proceeding.
MMRV: to check which period is open & also set back posting allowed,
MMPV: to open the period.
It is possible to re-open a previously closed period. However, it is NOT advisable to do so because the valuation data of the previous period could be affected.
In general, it is only safe to reopen a previously closed period when no material postings have been done after the period shifting to the new period.If there has already been a posting after the period shifting to the new period, reverting the period back will cause database inconsistencies in the history tables.
If you decide to proceed with this process, you can use the program RMMMINIT, but, please review the documentation of this program first!! and the check the SAP notes 487381 (for the error message that you are receiving) and the 369637 (for an explanation about the inconsistencies that will be generated.
Steps are as below;
Go to Transaction Code SE38
Enter program name RMMMINIT
Execute or press F8 function button
Enter your company code (From and To)
Enter relevant date: Say 01/02/2008 for Feb. 2008 month to be opened as of now
That means, user can post for the month of Jan 2008 as well as Feb. 2008
Refer SAP Note No. 487381 for more details.
As per SAP Notes 487381 ( If the periods are opened in advance in mmpv to again change it to current period the following process should be follow ), Go to Tcode MMPI, then go to menu bar and select system -> user profile->owndata.In that screen , under the parameters tab enter MMPI_READ_NOTE in Parameter ID field and enter, then under short description you will get Initialise period. Next Save.
Again go to MMPI enter company code, period and year and execute.
OR
NOT ADVICEABLE THIS METHOD, ONLY TRY IN SANDBOX NOT IN RUNNING SYSTEM OR TEST SYSTEM1.
Use T.codes:
1.OX18, and delete the plants assigned to your CO.CD and save.
2. Use t.code: OMSY and change the posting period to the one u want and save.
3. Use t.code:OX18 and assign the plants you have deleted in step 1.and save.

SAP integration with bio matrics devices for HCM master record

Hi Experts,
Do we have the option of using Bio Martix with HCM Master data unlike photo

Sasikanth,
Usually before you switch UME to AD, you would read it with an LDAP web compliant browser, to check if you could access your OU, Group, and Users. Are you sure you can read the complete LDAP structure on AD?
Kindly re-check the process, to see if you missed out on any steps.

Material master records

Hi,
   i tried to initialize period for material master record and i am getting error * follow the instruction in note 487381 before initialization* .any suggestion would be appriciated thanks
cheers
jothi

Hi
FYI--from sap note
the initialization of a posting period has the following effects concerning the period stocks:
The initialization of the posting period to a previous or to any posting period may lead to the loss of the information of the inventory balances of the previous periods.The book value of the current posting period is taken as the basis also for values of the previous period in this case.
           If you want to continue working with this new posting period, in addition you should execute report Z_DEL_HIST_ENTRIES attached so that history entries greater or equal to the new posting period will be deleted.
If you have to briefly reset the posting period by one period (for example, postings must still be posted in a certain period) just to make a correction (and for a small number of postings), you should initialize the posting period back again to the old value so that the values of the previous period will not be lost (you should forbid postings when carrying out corrections).
           However, afterwards the values of the previous period or the history records (as of Release 4.5) of the materials posted in this case are inaccurate.
           You should NOT execute report Z_DEL_HIST_ENTRIES in this case.
However, if the posting period is generally reset again to a previous posting period and if postings were made during this time, all information on the inventory balance of the previous periods is lost.
           As of Release 4.5a, you should use the cited correction report Z_DEL_HIST_ENTRIES in order to delete history records that are more current than the current posting period.Otherwise, it can result in deviations (inconsistencies) for the update of the history records.
Important! If there are open physical inventory documents that have status 'counted' or for which indicator 'Freeze inventory balance' has been set, you should reject these if they refer to a previous period or have been created in the former previous period.The inventory difference to be posted can be determined from the current book value of the previous period and the book quantity frozen in the physical inventory document (ISEG-BUCHM) and does not match the inventory balance of the previous period that is currently valid.

Problem with mass IDoc for Material Master

Hi All,
Can anyone suggest a solution to work with mass IDocs for Material master?
We have DEBMDM and CREMDM as mass capable IDocs for Customer and Vendor. How do we get mass Material Master IDocs from R/3 in a single XML file?
Also the standard Material repository supplied with SAP MDM 5.5 SP3 doesn't have any XSD definition for MATMDM. Can anyone throw some light on this problem?
Regards
Pooja

Hello Pooja:
The standard way to do it is to generate a single file containing multiple idocs (And for the sake of performance, I suggest you stick to this technique).
In the case of material master, everything is straight forward. In the case of customer and vendor master, when data flows from R/3 to MDM no idoc conversion needs to be performed by XI.
However, for the case of customer and vendor master, when data flows from MDM to R/3, XI needs to separate the data in CREMDM to CREMAS and ADRMAS in order for R/3 to be able to process the idocs; as well as separate the data in DEBMDM to DEBMAS and ADRMAS.
The good thing is that you do not need to worry about all this mappings and conversions in XI. The only thing you need to do in XI is to import the standard business content for SAP MDM 5.5 into XI.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Jorge.

Problems with the posting period....

Hi guys,
every once in a while the old problem with the posting periods occurs. This morning it hit me and I went out to repair it.
Starting out from MMRV I checked the open period and it said 062009.
Using MMPV, by mistake, I opened 112009, so that I'm able to post to 112009 PLUS the previous period 102009 (which is ok so far). Later on I checked OB52 to see, if finance is not the problem. The opened period lasts from 012009 to 122009.
Long story short: everything seems perfectly alright, however it still doesn't work. It says: Posting only possible in periods 2009/11 and 2009/10 in company code 1000
I don't see where there could be a problem now...
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thx & regards,
Bobby

Customizing Error Message in ME23N
When displaying of modifying Purchase Orders with a document type of Framework Order, a user selects the LIMITS tab, they get the error message Customizing incorrectly maintained, message number SE729.
The problem is caused by version upgrades of the SAP software.
Number of entries in table T162V is different to the number of columns in table control for screen SAPLMLSP (400). You can use screen painter SE51 to display the screen. View the Element list for TC_VIEW.
The list of fields can also be viewed within the program. Transaction code ML81N (service entry sheet), program SAPLMLSR. Click on the Configuration button (top right hand corner) select Administrator. This shows the number of fields as 67.
Using SE16N to view table T162V shows 69 fields. This table contains six layouts (variants), they must all be the same. Before the change the total count was 414 (69 x 6).
The ME23N transaction only checks that the number of entries is correct. You will notice that the fields are not in the same sequence, but that should not matter if you donot use the service transaction ML81N and it is not a selectable tab on ME23N.
Transaction SM31 was used to delete the extra fields. As this is a SAP table, you may need extra authorisations to make the change.
Note: the number of fields shown above will be different in each site. This is because of different SAP versions and in what software is loaded.

Batch Management Indicator not getting set for material master

Hi,
In one of the material we need to mark the Batch Management Indicator in Material MAster. We had removed all the stocks from the material. But still we are getting error, Stock exists for the material in Plant XXX and Sloc YYY.
I checked in MARD table and MMBE that for this maaterial there are no stock for said Sloca and Plant.
One thing which I noticed in the Material Master and MARDH table that there exists some stock in Previous persiod for the said Sloc and Plant.
Need to know is this error is due to stock shown in previous period. Why system is checking the previous period stock.
How can we resolve our issue and check this Indicator.
Please let me know as earliest as possible.
Thanks
SG

Hi,
Refer OSS Note 30656 - Change base unit of measure/batch mngt requirement
Following are the details of this note;
Symptom
When maintaining a material master record, you change the base unit of measure or the batch management requirement indicator or the valuation category. The system then tells you that this change is not possible since stocks still exist. However, no stocks are shown for the material in the stock overview.
Reason and Prerequisites
The message that stocks still exist refers not only to stocks in the current period, but also to stocks in the previous period.
The reason for checking previous period stocks is that postings can also be made to the previous period when entering goods movements. This would result in inconsistencies if the base unit of measure had meanwhile been changed.
Solution
Please check whether stocks still exist for the previous period by displaying, for example, the plant stock view or storage location stock view of the material. You do this by selecting "Extras -> Previous period -> Prev. pd SLoc. stock or Prev. pd plant stock".
If previous period stocks exist, you can make a withdrawal posting as follows:
1. Post the same amount to current period stock (for example, using movement type 561) so that previous period stock and current period stock are identical.
2. Make a withdrawal posting in the previous period for the stock together with posting date (for example, using movement type 562).
You can now try again to change the base unit of measure or the batch management requirement indicator.
Since the posting of the previous period values to zero is identical with posting to the stocks of the current period, you should reverse the above stock postings (i.e. the stock from the previous period should be booked in again) to make sure that the stock values from the previous and the current periods correspond to the state before the change. Please note, however, that the postings are then carried out using the changed master data from the current period (e.g. account determination, etc.)

Problem with multiple condition type for VAT &CST

Hi,Gurus,
pl. suggest the procedure for the following problem.we configured seperate pricing procedures for our product material and scrap material.We have configured same condition types for VAT(ie.condition type:ZVAT) and CST(cond type:ZCST), in both pricing procedures. Now We want to maintain seperate condition types for VAT and CST for pricing procedure for Product material and Scrap material. I have created two new condition types for scrap sales ZSCT- cst for scrap and ZSVT-vat for scrap by copying the same from existing conditions ZCST & ZVAT, and the same is included in the scrap pricing procedure. And also maintained OB40,OBCN,OVK1,OVK3,OVK4, FTXP,FV11 and VK11.
now I am facing the following problems.
1. while creating the Material master & customer master, in tax category sub screen all conditions i.e. conditions defined for product material( ZCST,ZVAT) and defined for scrap material (ZSCT, ZSVT) displaying and these are compulsory fields.
2. While creating the sale order for scrap material, system is considering the TAX classes from ZVAT/ ZCST (defined for product material) and taking the condition value from the condition type ZSVT/ ZSCT with the TAX class values of ZVAT/ZCST.
Now I would like to know is there any procedure to assign the Material type and Customer Account group to Tax category.
Thanks & Regards
sam

Hello Sam,
The Access Sequence Assigned to your New Condition types ie, ZSCT and ZSVT are same as the Previous Condition type ZVAT and ZCST.
After Adding new condition type in the Tax category in the Masters you have to take care of the Sequence of the Condition type.
If ZSCT and ZSVT is on the 3rd and 4th number in the masters the Condition table you are using in the access sequence should have fields Taxclassification3-Customer and taxclassification3- material. For ZSCT
Likewise Taxclassification4-Customer and taxclassification4- material. For ZSVT
Please add New Condition table in the access sequence with the required Field
And next when you are maintaining the condition record for say ZSCT you will have to maintain condition record for the condition table which has Taxclassification3-Customer and taxclassification3.
In Document the values will be flown correctly after changing this.
Hope I have Solved your Query.
If any Doubt please revert.
Regards,
Rohit Dongre
