Copy Company Code -- master data for PP

[former_member184752]

Dear SAP Team,

My Business needs to create a new company code (eg ZA00)

They need to transfer all the master data  from one existing company code (eg YA00)  to new company code (eg ZA00)

From PP/QM/PM  side

I understand, it is not possible to extend simply the master data easily

We understand ,

1. The Business would have to download all the current master data from tables
2. Then upload all the Master data via BDC/LSMW upload programs
3. Is there anyway /options available in standard SAP , (any tcode or standard mass uplaod ) where we can copy  all the current  Master data from previous existing company code to new company code .
4. Please guide us step by steps

Hi Talha,

Master data related to PP / QM are managed at plant level and not at company code levels. You can have one or multiple plants under a company code and for each plant you need to create master data or extend the existing master data.

If you are copy creating a plant from exiting plant then most of the config parameters will get copied. You need to extend exiting master data to new plant code (example BOM, Routing Work center etc). You also need to extend inspection plant, MIC, code groups catalogs etc. If you have limited set of data, if can be carried out manually for its always recommended to create / change / extend master data using mass transaction of LSMW.

You can utilize the option of BDC, BAPI IDOCs etc based on the complexity of master data. The master data sequence is important as you need to have material master ready first and then other dependent mater data. For example you need to have workcenters created first so that same can be assigned to operations of Routing and so on.

If you already have extraction program, use them to extract data or else take the dump of IMP tables for master data (for example, BOM - MAST & STPO , STKO). Create or use existing LSMW objects for extend materials and test the same. Data Migration is very imp and should also follow test in D-Q -P process flow.

Dear Rohit ,

Thanks for the feedback

i do agree from the PP master data -- BDC/LSMW is the only options

But my client is requesting this authenticity from SAP Statement/ SAP HELP LINK etc  , that this is not possible in STD SAP , it can be done from BDC

So if you can assist any SAP HELP link for this topic , would be great help

Hello,

LSMW using BDC approach is standard approach in SAP. You do not need any custom program for it, only in few cases where there are complex data structures you may need a custom program.

Please read the above helpful link.

Dear Rohit ,

Checked the link

But still the query remains unsolved ,

The Client is looking for SAP site --- links , on SAP HELP PAGE etc ,,,

which can prove that in standard company code master data is not possible , we have to go for LSMW/BDC ..

Hi Mohd,

LSMW is a standard tool provided by SAP to create change extend master / transaction data and especially used when you need to transfer data from legacy system to new SAP system . You can modify it as per your requirement by using standard objects, methods, program as per your needs.

Sorry but I am still not clear what exactly is your requirement.

When you are setting up a new company code and assigning plant under it then you have to create master data & setup relevant configs. These tools are provided by SAP for such migration activities only.

Your scenario is similar to a roll out project or a small scale implementation if you are setting up everything from scratch.

Hello,

I don´t think you can simple copy all the master data from one company code to another company code.

You can copy automatically some Master Data like:

- FS15: GL Account Master Data

- FK15: Vendor Master Data

- FD15: Customer Master Data

Check if MMCC is usefull, but I think that for materials, routings, BOMs, etc.. you will need to build a BDC/LSMW.
