Problems with posting iDocs from MDM in SAP R3

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am an MDM consultant, with limited knowledge about SAP R3.

We send material master data from MDM, via PI to R3 using iDocs.

We are having problems with posting MATMAS, and it seems the problems are with updating already existing materials.

In BD87 we get the following warnings:

The field MARA-ERVOE is not ready for input and was therefore not initialized

The field MARA-ERVOL is not ready for input and was therefore not initialized

The field MARA-FERTH is not ready for input and was therefore not initialized

The field MARA-KZGVH is not ready for input and was therefore not initialized

The field MARA-XCHPF is not ready for input and was therefore not initialized

With the last message being:

No changes made

I have checked the MDM syndicator, and none of these idoc-fields are linked to the MDM repository.

So they are syndicated blank.

If we try to resend the material, it is again stopped and in BD87 I see the same messages.

Please help me understanding how to solve these issues.

Thanks,

Thomas

HI Thomas,

As rightly pointed out in one of the links above,the fields may not be ready for input and may be are read only.You can confirm on this by MM01 and try to put value in these fields too while creating a record.

If these are read only try passing "/" so that no value is passed.Please update with result.

Thanks,

Hi,

Please refer the below threads which talks about the similar problem

Generally the basic view of the material to be created first. Then the sales, purchasing and other views to be created.

There are few fields in the other views which gets values from the basic data view.
