Material Master Load Problem

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am using LSMW to load the material master and using the standard program RMDATIND.

I am able to create the material but it does not fill the storage location even there is a storage location in the input file.

It does not give any error. It says material created successfully. But when i go to MM03 and check the material it don't have the storage location associated with that material.

Please help. Let me know if I am missing some thing. Appreciate you guys help.

Hi,

I think in Mapping fields u may have missed the Storage Location. Check the mapping / allocation details .

Hi Darhan ,

I checked the mapping. It is fine and able to get the storage location from the file. I found out that I have to check the field XE1L1 for storage location view. I checked that field it created the material for that storage location. But now problem is it does not created the other view if I set this field. It creates the warning with message "The data for the maintenance statuses BG cannot be transferred"

Please suggest.

Thanks

Use tcode MMSC to extend to storage location level.

You need to have Material,plant and Storage location as input.

Award if useful.

I am using Standard program in LSMW to load the material master and it uses transaction mm01.

Any other tips.

Rohit,

We create basic data, extend to plant using the standard code RMDATIND

and extend it by recording MMSC tcode to storage location level.

Hi Praveen,

When you say that extend the program using recording MMSC. Do you mean that load the material master using standard program then change the material master using recording of MMSC. Means it is going to be two step load.

Please explain me as I am new to LSMW.

Appreicate your help.

Yes you are right!

Actually we do it in three steps to avoid confusions!

1- We create Materials basic data using Standard program RMDATIND.

2- Extend same to plant level using standard program RMDATIND ,Now it includes all views data .

3- We extend to storage location level byusing MMSC t-code.

there may be other ways but we foollow this procedure and it works great!

hi,

Why don't you try Bapi to load Material Master.

try this 'BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA'.

You have all views in it.

Hi Guys,

Thanks all for their inputs. Just want to share what I have found out that we have to set the indicators for all the views for which we want to load data for. So just setting those indicators have solved my problem.

Set all the required view indicators for which data has to be loaded
