ALE:Material Master Data Distribution

[Former Member]

Hi

I am new to ALE Material Master Data Distribution and if the questions are incorrectly worded, please accept my apologies. It is due to lack of knowledge.

I am doing Material Master Data distribution and I am using standard basic type MATMAS03. The standard TCode MM01, MM02 has SAP tables and 3 custom tables.

I have turned the active on using BD61 and change pointers to message type.

Q: Is the change pointer, applicable to entire material master? i.e. if I change a field in Z table or standard material tables, can an IDOC be created for the entire material record?

Q: What is the function of BD52? Does this override the option Activate Change pointers for message type? Does it mean, if the changes are made to those fields in BD52 a change pointer is created?

Q: If I change Z table only, will there be a change pointer created? If not, how could I accomplish this using BD52.

Q When do we use the enhancement MGV00001?

Also, If you could add anything in addition to above queries, it will be helpful to me and I appreciate it.

With regards,

William

once you activate the change pointers for a messages types, what ever changes made in application document , the fields mentioned in BD52, only those changes are written in to idoc.

1.no

2.in BD52 you specify the fields which you want made changes only those field will behave like pointers

3.yes, you have specify z table field also in BD52

thx

Thank you Sudhakar.

Your tips are good, but, I was not able to get the problem resolved.

Let me explain what I have done based on your tips.

1. MATMAS uses MATMAS03. The basic type has NOT been modified to have z fields yet.

2. Using BD52, i have created the following fields

MATERIAL ZEMM_MARA_TECH IM_ADVISORY_CODE

MATERIAL ZEMM_MARA_TECH KEY.

3. Modified the MMR for IM_ADVISORY_CODE.

I did not see a change pointer for this change.

Q: When I created above entry using BD52, was asking the table name. The table name is stored in TCD0B. What TCode is available the entries in TCDOB. For the time being, i created using SQL.

Q. Is there a follow up configuration required to capture the changes?

I will award the points in a couple of days time, even if I do not get the solution, because you have spent your precious time for the community. I will wait for a couple of days for other suggestions and close the Problem.
