Cannot syndicate back New Article record in SAP...

[Former Member]

Hi Guru's

We are having a issue while syndicating back the New article record from MDM to SAP ..In SAP XML gets converted to ARTMAS Idoc....

System fails to post IDOC giving the error as "Error inserting in table MBEW"

I checked the error in detail and it gives the me following information in Error message:

" Error inserting in table MBEW

Message no. M3695

Diagnosis

When saving material master data, the system attempts to insert a new

record in table MBEW. However, the table already contains a record at

this point.

There is an inconsistency in the data base. Possible reasons for this

are:

o material master data has not been created with the transations

defined for this purpose

o number range intervals have been used up

Procedure

Contact your systems administrator immediately. "

Please let me know if anyone has faced this issue earlier and how did they fix it....

Regards

This sounds more like an ALE error than a MDM issue. However you can try a few things.

First, write down the IDoc number of the failed IDoc. Go to transaction WE19 and enter the IDoc number. Run that transaction and select the inbound function module that is configured in ALE. This will let you step through the process of processing the IDoc and see exactly where it fails.

You may also want to check your partner profile in WE20 and take a look at the parameters (inbound options) that are selected.

Also, you may want to post this on the XI forums, as they will be able to help you a bit more.
