MASS CHANGES

The word "mass" means collective or numerous. This word gives a hint about the function of the corresponding transaction code. In SAP, it is referred to as mass maintenance. In other words, MASS can be defined as applying a process collectively to multiple objects or data records at the same time.


MASS Screen

  • Mass customer data update

  • Mass material data update

  • Mass vendor data update

  • Mass sales data update


These types of processes can be carried out collectively rather than individually.

With the MASS screen, data can be updated in two ways: using the data available in SAP or importing data from an external file such as Excel to perform a mass update. By uploading a prepared table from an external source, all records can be automatically updated in SAP.


  1. Mass Update Using Data Available in SAP


  • The update screen is accessed via the MASS transaction code. In the screen that opens, the object type is selected. For example, let's select the Sales Order object.





Then, the Execute icon is clicked.


In the screen that opens, under the Tables tab, the data tables associated with the selected object type are listed. These tables categorize the types of data to be updated (such as header, item, or business data).


For example:

  • If the order date is to be changed ➡️ Sales order header data

  • If the quantity of the product in the order is to be changed ➡️ Sales order item data

  • If the delivery date is to be updated ➡️ SD document: Business item data

By selecting the appropriate option, the system directs you to the relevant data field.





In the Fields tab, the fields corresponding to the tables listed under the Tables tab are displayed.For example:

  • Order Date

  • Order Type

  • Sales Organization

The desired fields can be selected to perform mass changes in a controlled and efficient manner.



  • The field to be modified is selected, and the Execute icon is clicked.




  • In the screen that appears, the sales document numbers to be modified are entered, and the Execute icon is clicked.



  • The screen displays the material quantity data for the selected sales documents. In the Sales Order Item Data section, the desired quantity is entered into the Component Quantity field, and the Perform Mass Change icon is clicked.



  • All values have been updated. Click the Save icon to save the changes.





  • In the warning pop-up screen that appears, click the green icon.



  • The changes have been successfully saved.





  1. Updating Data by Importing from an External File


  • First, the MASS screen is opened and the object type to be modified is entered.



  • In the screen that appears, the fields to be updated are selected, and the Import Data from File icon is clicked.



  • Then, a file upload pop-up window opens. Here, the desired CSV or TXT file is selected, and the Open icon is clicked.



  • The upload parameters are adjusted according to the file format, and the Execute icon is clicked.



  • The screen that appears contains three columns. The first column contains the sales document number. The other two columns are the fields where changes will be applied.



  • In this section, the data to be changed is entered, then the Perform Mass Change icon is clicked, and the changes are saved.



  • The changes have been successfully saved.
