Mass Maintenance of Master Data
SAP F&R provides transactions for the mass maintenance of master data, for example, to change data fields that the system does not supply through default profiles from Customizing. You can maintain all fields that have been released for manual changes. This applies to:
Location products
Locations
Transportation lanes for products
Transportation lanes for subranges
Note
To avoid data inconsistencies, if you can supply fields with data through an import from the master data retaining system, you should only make changes in that system.
Integration
In the Product Workbench, you can display all the master data for a location product, but you cannot maintain it.
Prerequisites
You have made the following settings in master data Customizing:
You have configured the fields to allow manual maintenance under
Maintainable Attributes
. For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) ofForecasting and Replenishment
under
Master Data
Define Maintainable Attributes
.You have defined planning responsibilities for planning and assigned them in SAP F&R. Only valid persons responsible can be assigned to a location product in master data administration. For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) of
Forecasting and Replenishment
under Master Data
Assign Planning Responsibilities
.If you want to use fields time-dependently, you have flagged them accordingly. For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) of
Forecasting and Replenishment
under Master Data
Define Time Dependent Fields
.
Features

You can maintain the data there at the location group level.
Locations
You can change data such as the calendars in the mass maintenance of locations. To do so, go to the SAP Easy Access
