Dulpicate commodity codes

[Former Member]

Hi,

When we t/f the invoices from R/3 to GTS manually, system issues an RFC error message.

But someonehow the issue was found out that there were duplicate commodity codes for materials and once they were deleted , there was no RFC error and the invoices were t/f to GTS.

Now we need to analyse why there were duplicate commodity codes for the material. My questions are as follows :-

1) Do we define commodity codes in R/3 or GTS or both. I do not think so we can have duplicate commodity codes in material master. since for one material/plant combination, there can be only one commodity code in material master. The issue seems to be in GTS. Where we define commodity codes in GTS ?

2) How to anaylse why there were duplicate commodity codes for a material.

Hi,

1. standard approach is to take initially all commodity codes from feeder to GTS. You need to make mapping from MARC table and upload it in GTS via /SAPSLL/MARC_UPLOAD_R3

2. After this maintain commodity codes codes only in GTS. Schedule job /SAPSLL/STAWN_RETRANSFER to daily in GTS and report /SAPSLL/STAWN_RETRANSFER_R3 in feeder system, this will take over all commodity codes mainatained in GTS to feeder system and it replaces the old one.

3. you can check duplicated (inconsistent) entries by comparing tables at feeder MARC and at GTS /SAPSLL/PRCTS joining /SAPSLL/PR

In your case i would re-transfer all commodity codes from GTS to feeder to avoid your issues and continue to maintain commodity code only in GTS.

Hi,

Note that in the Standard, Commoditiy codes are not transferred from the feeder System to GTS via Logistics documents (such as invoices etc.). So it does not matter what kind of commodity codes you have in your feeder System.
