Hi Bhaskar
u can use change documents to trigger your workflow.
t-code SWEC .
or u acn manually trigger it by writting the following codes in se38
DATA: KEY LIKE SWEINSTCOU-OBJKEY.
KEY = '1163'.
Material Number (hard-coded)
CALL FUNCTION 'SWE_EVENT_CREATE'
EXPORTING
objtype = 'BUS1001006'
objkey = KEY
event = 'CREATED'
CREATOR = ' '
TAKE_WORKITEM_REQUESTER = ' '
START_WITH_DELAY = ' '
START_RECFB_SYNCHRON = ' '
NO_COMMIT_FOR_QUEUE = ' '
DEBUG_FLAG = ' '
NO_LOGGING = ' '
IDENT =
IMPORTING
EVENT_ID =
TABLES
EVENT_CONTAINER =
EXCEPTIONS
OBJTYPE_NOT_FOUND = 1
OTHERS = 2
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

Material Creation Workflow

Hi Friends ,
 When a material is created (MM01) , using user exit i want to create an event which triggers the workflow.
 I'm confused of function module to be used for creating event.
SWE_EVENT_CREATE or SWE_EVENT_CREATE_IN_UPD_TASK or
SWE_EVENT_CREATE_FOR_UPD_TASK
Can any one let me know which function is very opt for creating the event.
Regards,
Vijay

Hi Vijay,
I seriously suggest you rethink your design here. Either a workflow is the wrong tool for the job or you're going about this the wrong way. The whole POINT of an event is that the transaction is complete. Even receivers are called asynchronously and rely on this. What will happen in your scenario is that you trigger a workflow before the material is saved. It cannot instantiate the object and falls over to die a horrible death.
Or in case of a change, your WF will read the old data. Or what if something goes wrong and there is an error after the userexit? Your event is triggered and you have no way of knowing in the WF that there was no save.
Use the standard event and start conditions.
Hope that helps,
Mike

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
Mikkel

What is Material master workflow

Hi gurus ,
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.

Key performance indicators (KPI) for material creation

Dear all,
I need to define some Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) to measure the data quality during the material creation (MM01) process. The objective is to get concrete statistics about data quality/accuracy for fields related to material from all views created with MM01 (basic data, classification, unit of measure...).
I would like to get your expertise on how to measure these KPI’s : which transactions, table (...) to use ?
I have already few ideas :
-Table CDHDR
-Transaction MM04
-Create “checkpoints“ into the workflow for material creation (ZWF01)
Do you have any other idea in mind?
I am open for all advices: transaction, table, process, approach…
Thanks in advance for your help !

I have a few ideas, but the accuracy of the master data is based on your system config.
Some things that are helpful in most of the cases:
- If material type is HAWA (trading goods) your procurement indicator should always be External procurement (check those for other material types if you have it uniformed). You can also check purchasing group based on material type if you have it distinct by material type.
- Check if sales views are opened in all org.levels
- Check if storage loc.views are opened for all SLoc
All in all, you need to have a link of two or more data in material master to be able to check it in some way automatically, otherwise you won't be able to determine if the data is correct or not.
E.g. How would you every know if lot size of 120.000 PCS is OK or not for a specific material or if you need to assign a specific purchasing group to your material.
You know the logic behind your material master data best so you can create the best rules to check for your KPI.

Material Creation Using BDCs.

Hi all,
I have developed a program for Material Creation using BDC.
Material is Being created and that is working well and good.Here i have a Requirement to update the Newly creted material in Ztable.So when i use call transaction mathod,i have written code for updation under the line CALL TRANSACTION.where in iam getting newly creatde material from MARA table,and so it is working perfectly fine..
But our requirement should be sessions method,so when i use sessions method and exeute the program..we face the problem of updation.
the piece of code for updation is updating previously created material.
Literally speaking only the sessions are created ,when the program is executed,material is not created when program is run.Material is only created when the sessions are processed using SM35,
So how should i do here,where should be the updation code written and where will we get the newly created material in sessions method..
Pls Help me in solving this problem

hai priyanaka it might be due to configuration problem
bcos manulay also ur gettign this , so just consult ur MM consultant for soem setting
regards
afzal

Material Creation Date and Time

Hi,
Is there any place which stores the material creation date and time. We have checked table MARA, but that only has the creation date of the material, but does not give the material creation time. We have checked table CDHDR, but that only seems to have the material change date and time.
From where can we retrieve the material creation date and time.
Thanks and Regards,
John

Actually, CDHDR and CDPOS will have the value. The CDHDR record will be marked as a 'U" record but look at the corresponding CDPOS record for MARA and it will be marked as an 'I' record.

Error in pipeline material creation

hi,
we want to create one pipeline material as per our new requirement for showing gas consumption.during material creation with mat type PIPE, it's showing an error:The field Profit Center is defined as a required field; it does not contain
an entry.
Procedure
If the field is the material group or unit of weight, and the field is not ready for input, check whether the material is locked. If it is locked, you cannot extend the Purchasing view or the Sales view. If either of these views needs to be extended, the material must first be unlocked. This can be done only by a user with special authorization.
thanx,
sheetal

Hi
In your client if Profit center accounting(PCA) is activated ,then you need to maintain the Profit center for the material.
Option 1: goto OMS2, got details of pipleine material & select the Costing View of the material.
Now goto MM01 in creation of pipeline material & maintain the profit center in Cotsing 1 View.
Deactivating the field from mandatory to optional will not serve your purpose as PCA will get affected.
Thanks & Regards
Kishore

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.....

Vijay

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.
<Moved from [this thread|Re : Material Master Workflow;. As per the [Rules of Engagement|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/HOME/RulesofEngagement], please ask new questions in a new thread. Post links to other question if necessary.>
Edited by: Mike Pokraka on Feb 9, 2009 10:45 PM

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,
cheers,
Ajay
