LSMW Inbound IDoc Start IDoc Processing Error 'No description transferred'

[Former Member]

Hello all you experts out there,

I am a little bit of a novice with LSMW. I have had success loading Material Master with Direct Input, so now I am trying to do the same with an Inbound IDoc.

I am using Message Type : MATMAS | Basic Type : MATMAS05. I had to configure the Ports, Partner Type, and Partner Number to the best of my ability. I have included all the screen shots associated with that in the link below.

I had some issues that required me to change Process Code for the Message Type, but got past that. Now that I am attempting to process the IDoc, I am getting a hard error on the Start IDoc Processing step. Status Text = u201CApplication document not postedu201D. Error Text = u201CMessages have been issued number 00000000000070048u201D

I processed the IDoc again so I can look at the errors in Transaction MM90. I see that there is an error of u201CNo description transferredu201D immediately after the confirmed message of 'Trying to create : Z000020___ ___ ___ u2026'. That message is then followed by the confirmed message 'Trying to change: Z000020___ ___ ___ u2026'. The other error message fallows as 'The material Z000020 does not exist or is not activated'

I simply cannot understand the error message 'No description transferred'. There is no long text associated with it, and there is no reference to a field that might be missing data. I donu2019t know how to fix this at all and have no clue as to where this is coming from.

The link below has a ZIP file that contains all the screen shots of my LSMW project, and the load file I used. Some of the values I provided in mapping are not in the load file. They are constants as a rule in mapping.

Please help. I donu2019t even have an error message to investigate, it is too non-descriptive.

The file is safe. I know that can be worrisome for us all.

Thank you so much the help guys. I always remember to give points.

I think you just missed the segment with the material description in general or missed to transfer a description inthis segment.#

I did not open the link because my virus checker issued a warning

Trust me there are not virus at all. I actually ran a virus scan on the files just now and nothing I found. That is the only way I could find a place to share my files here. I have used in other questions I have posted. Unless you know of a better way I can share them, please let me know.

The only place I have filled in Description is Segment 'E1MAKTM' and Field 'MAKTX'. Other field in that Segment I filled are 'MSGFN' = '003', and 'SPRAS' = 'E'.

I thought that would be enough. When I do this manually that is the only description I seem to need. Also I have missed fields in the past I received either a warning or hard error actually indicating which fields that are. If this is a description field in the segment that is giving an issue I a surprised that it does not tell me which field it is.

Thanks and please let me know if you have any more insight on this and if there is a way I can share the files with you. The files are just screen shots of all my steps and a text file that contains one row of material data I tried to load.

in field mappings, you defined MSGFN for MARAM structure with 001, but for MAKTM structure you defined 003 (which is deletion)

Change the MSGFN in MAKTM as well to 001

That worked. Thanks for the help!!!!

I didnu2019t see any information about populating that field online, and I am sure it must be in some books that I should have read thoroughly before attempting the Inbound IDoc processing. My impatience and proclivity to jump in with both feet often gets the best of me.

For IDoc creation, is the value u2018001u2019 always used for segments where you wish to create the data initially? Is u2018002u2019 for change given that u2018003u2019 is for deletion? Are there any other values for the u2018MSGFNu2019 field?
