Change flow logic to add fields to field: statement and to add any
validation required. Generate screen.
If this is the first time additional data has been added to material master it will be necessary to create a new function group
and associated programs. See Configure Customised Material Master paragraph Requirements.

Batch data take-on.

1. Add new fields to structure CI_MMH1 and activate.

2. Activate BMMH1?.
3. Run RMDATING – Both options.
4. Change program YMM1001A to output new fields to BMMH1 from
spreadsheet.
Live procedure to update material master with new fields.

1. Create spreadsheet of new data containing material number followed

by data for each new field.
2. Save spreadsheet as tab delimited text file. Suggested name
c:\temp\matrix.
3. Run program YMM1001A to read file output in 2 and create file for
input to Sap standard material update program (RMDATIND).
The output filename must be the same as that expected by RMDATIND.
To check this use SM30 -> V_FILENAME -> Display -> Choose
MATERIAL_MASTER_BTCI -> check value of Physical file. This can
be changed if necessary using Maintenance mode.
You can check that the output from YMM1001A is in the correct format
by running RMDATSHO. This is a display program which reads the
same input as RMDATIND and displays it in a readable format.

4. Run RMDATING: This program generates code and only needs to be

run once regardless of how many times the dataload is run.

5. Run RMDATIND: Sap standard material batch update. Can be run in

check mode first by checking box – Check data, but do not update.

(Check value of running with BMV0? instead of online).
