SAP Note 25044 - Problem with table MCNV in Rel. 3.0 (FCS)

Symptom:

1. A135(CZ): Error reading table TMCNV, RC = 04
The entry for editing the material number is missing in the
corresponding client.
2. Runtime error if you call up view V_TMCNV.
3. Calling up transaction OMSL results in the message that the table is
client-independent.

Cause and prerequisites

In Rel. 3.0, table TMCNV is client-dependent; however, it is delivered only in one client (SAP Customizing client) with the result that a corresponding table entry is missing in the other clients; in addition, the client is not contained in the relevant view V_TMCNV.

Solution
1. Modify view V_TMCNV
Transaction SE11:
Object name: V_TMCNV
Dictonary objekt: View
-> Specify and press the pushbutton.
-> On the "Change view (attributes)" screen, press the
pushbutton.
-> On the "Change view (fields)" screen, please insert a new
field:

TMCNV MANDT MANDT <<< Insert
TMCNV CONVID CONVID
TMCNV LMATNR LMATNR
TMCNV MASKE MASKE
...

Then save and activate the view.

2. Supply table TMCNV with entries in the individual clients.
Transfer program ZMATCONV to your system and run this program to
create an entry in table TMCNV in each client:

report zmatconv.

tables: t000, tmcnv, *tmcnv.

select * from tmcnv client specified
where mandt = '000' "client where a table entry TMCNV exists
and convid = 'MATCONV'.
select * from t000.
clear *tmcnv.
move-corresponding tmcnv to *tmcnv.
move: t000-mandt to *tmcnv-mandt.
insert *tmcnv.
if sy-subrc is initial.
write: / 'table entry insert - client', t000-mandt.
else.
update *tmcnv.
if sy-subrc is initial.
write: / 'table entry update - client', t000-mandt.
else.
write: / 'update error - client', t000-mandt.
endif.
endif.
endselect.
endselect.
