Cant set status released for Generation Variant for report category IBD_MSD

[Former Member]

Dear EH&S people,

I am trying to upload a vendor MSDS'. I am not succesfull in this. The reason is that the status of the generation variant is not "Released".

I am not able to set the status released in the Generation variant. I am using report category IBD_MSD which should be the standerd one for Vendor MSDS.

Together with an abap consultant we found via debugging of the matchcoded of the search of the status that he takes the DMS document type SBR as a basis. It should however be IBD.

Has somebody encounter this problem before and have a solution for this?

Is there somewhere customizing which controls for a certain category which DMS document type to use?

Thanks in advance for your answer.

Hi All,

I found the solution.

I looked at the detailed customizing of the document type SBR. Note 1091699 explained detailed settings of the different document types.

SBR was not correct customized.

It sounds strange that SBR is used for the report generation status for Vendor MSDS. I think it is because SAP treads it as if it is a raw version. So that could be an explenation why it searches for the status of that document type.

After I updated the SBR-type correctly, I was succesfull in uploading Vendor MSDS. The DMS type which was used to save the document was IBD.

Thanks all for your help.

Issue closed.

Hello all,

I also found the notes of the customizing settings and I already implemented them. But it still gives me the same error message during the trx CG36VEN of the import vendor MSDS.

What I already found is that during debugging of the matchcode for the status in the Generation Variant, that he takes the document SBR to find the statusses. This is strange. But it seems normal behaviour since I also found that in another customer system.

I will investigate also the settings of the SBR doc type. I will send feedback about this.

Hello Pascal,

In continuation of what Mike has explained regarding document status, request you to check SAP note # 995736.

It specifies the status network required for document type IBD.

Hi Pascal,

Are you trying to use CG36 or CG36VEN?

"I am not able to set the status released in the Generation variant" - Do you mean for your IBD Gen variant, you can't set the initial release status to "RE"? If that's the case, you should check in customizing (SPRO) under:

EHS->Basic Data and Tools->Report Definition->Settings for Document Management->Check Document Types and Document Status

Select IBD, and then choose the subtask "Define Document status". Make sure released is defined there

Also, have you looked at the documentation in customizing at:

EHS->Basic Data and Tools->Import and Export->Report Import:Check Additional Settings

? That documentation includes some of the settings needed, such as the Condition Schema Table.
