Key Generation, doesnt work

[former_member633724]

Hi, every body

I want to generate new Material Number automatically for new Materials

I have done the following steps

- I have set Key Mapping to YES in Products main table

- In the remote systems I added a new remote system called SAP_ECC

- In this remote system I set the Key Generation to Qualified Range and set the Look Field to Material Type, also fill the Qualified Range to something like this

[NULL] 9990000001 to 9999999999

ZHOR 9010000001 to 9019999999

ZVER 9020000001 to 9029999999

ZHIB 9030000001 to 9039999999

- In the syndicator I configured a port called TO_ECC to work with SAP_ECC remote system

- Mapped the [Remote Key]/[Value] to MATNR field in iDOC MATMAS05

In the Preview pane I only see Material Numbers (MATNR) which I have manually edited its mapping value. Material Numbers are empty for new Materials.

Please tell me. What I'm missing?

Hi Rafael

In my experience with Key Generation, the keys are only created for the remote system once a Syndication job has actually processed the record. I'd guess that this is so in order to minimise the amount of work done by the MDM Server and to avoid "wasting" keys.

To see that it does work : execute the Syndication job then refresh the Record view (press F5) in the Syndicator. The Destination Preview tab should now contain the newly generated key.

HTH,

Mark
