Doubts in LSMW

HI,
Experts I have following doubts in LSMW.
1. Before uploading into the database, if at all we need to perform some convertion say UNITED STATES or U.S.A into US. Can this be done in LSMW.
2. After writing an LSMW for a transaction how would the user run this application, ie should he do all the 12 or 14 steps on the screen of LSMW.
3. Can LSMW be run on transactions where there are lot of popups and table controle applications.
Kindly help,
Thanks in advance,
Ram.

Doubt in lsmw

hi
how to handle table control in lsmw
urgent plz

Hi Kiran,
LSMW will have a Indicator for headr and itam, i do not remember the correct field, but it will have an indicator, check the fields, there will be a single charecter lenght field, that should be the indicator, and using that we can write the logic.
check that single charecter field, it that is X that means the header record is processed, and do the items.
and, this is another way, try this out also
YOu can do this in "Define Source Structures" step,
the HEADER is defined first,
then the DETAIL below the HEADER.
add the fields to the structures.
Both should have some common key field
Please take care that the name of the common field is the same.
Once you do this it is linked. The you have a header and item corresponding to that header. then run the LSMW as you would.

Doubt on LSMW

Hi Abapers,
I have complete data of MARA, LFA1 and some other tables which are imported from one SAP system.
Now I have to upload into the respective tables in another System by using LSMW. This is not like master data upload, for example transaction like MM01. Just data of a particular table should be uploaded in the same table in another system using LSMW.
Is it possible?
Regards
Sundar. S

Hi,
If you upload the values directly in the table without validating, it will cause serious data inconsistencies which is very difficult to correct.
Use transaction codes or through Standard Batch/Direct Input method to upload the values through LSMW
If not, Basis can do a copy of the data from the source system.

Yogesh

Basic doubt in lsmw?

hai friends,
in lsmw Batch input method do we need to record..?
plz reply urguently..?

satish,
These are the steps to be followed while doing a Batch Input Recording.
LSMW STEPS (Batch Input Recording)
1. Maintain Attributes:
Here you have to choose the second option and you can do the recording how this should work. Then assign the same to the Batch Input Recording name.
2. Maintain Source structure:
Create a structure name
3. Maintain Source field:
Create a structure like the Input File
eg:
Name - LIFNR
Description - Account number or Vendor Number
4. Maintain structure relations:
This will link the structure to the input file.
5. Maintain field mapping and conversion rules:
You can choose the Auto Filed Mapping under Extras Menu. Yopu can also do coding, depending upon the code you have written or assignment you have done the values will get picked up from the file and get processed.
6. Maintain field mapping and conversion rules:
If you have any fixed values you can define here.
7. Specify files:
Specify the input file path and type.
8. Assign files:
This will assign ur file to the Input file
9. Read Data:
This will read ur data from teh file.
10. Dispaly Read Data:
You can see the uploaded data
11. Convert Data
This will convert the data to the corresponding format for processing
12. Display Converted data:
13. Create batch input session
Here this will create a batch input session for processing
14. Run Batch Input session:
By clicking on the session and process (Back ground or Display Errors)

Doubt about LSMW

LSMW only apply for recordings with standard transaction or also for create recordings with Z transactions?
I have a Z transaction to lapse contracts do you believe that I could create a LSMW recording using this Z transaction I mean if i should generate the LSMW differently than I used to do with standard transactions.
Thanks
Edited by: Csaba Szommer on Feb 19, 2012 8:30 AM

LSMW should work for ZTcodes also. You can do a simulation in tcode SHDB, record and the click on process (do some experimentation, you will understand).

Regd. lsmw batch i/p recording

Hi,
I hav a doubt regd LSMW batch i/p recording. How do u upload header and item data using batch i/p recording option in LSMW when u hav 2 files with header data in one and item data in the other file.
I tried it but only the last item is being updated ..i.e iam able to get only one item added...though i am trying to add more than one item.
Can anyone guide me...?
Thanks..

hi sheetu,
Welcome to sdn..
with the recording option you could only do for one item only as itz intended for initial test transfer.
go ahead with standard program thru which u can upload for multiple line items...

LSMW procedure for PP master data

Hi
i have some doubts regarding LSMW .... can we upload PP master data BOM,Resource,MasterRecipe and Production versios through LSMW. could u pls guide me in this issue.
Regards
hgvd

Hgvd,
You will create the procedures. I have never seen detailed procedures published for all possible LSMW scenarios, probably because, they are always different for each project..
Every Data requirement is different, based upon the business requirements. The LSMW project concept is pretty intuitive, so even without much training, a novice can create data upload functionality. Read the docs previously quoted in this thread, and if you want more detail, try the old online word doc at
http://service.sap.com/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000455036&_SCENARIO=01100035870000000112&_OBJECT=011000358700000728862003E
Although this doc is for an old version of LSMW, it is particularly useful for a novice, since it contains so much detail. There is some added functionality is later versions of LSMW, but for the objects you have mentioned, this doc should suffice.

Transport request in Lsmw methods !!! How ??????????????

Hi . iam Aslam .. .. and i have a doubt about LSMW ...
after doing the Lsmw .. by either of the methods .for Custmer master .. then .. how . to to create the Transport Request .. for any Lsmw object .. and give me the full process of changing that tranport request .. to transfer the data .. to the Quality server from the devlopment server ..
Inshort .. i need the process of transferring the request created in devlpment server to quality server or prodction server ..as if u working in Lsmw....
please give me reply to [email protected] email id .. waiting for ur response .. thnks in advance .......... bye

hi,
try this,
Export/import This method gives you the opportunity to select the subprojects or objects you want to transfer. Hence you don't transfer the object a colleague might have created and that should stay in development system. LSMW -> Extras -> Export project
or
Transport request With this method, you can transport a LSMW project in full (you can not select the objects you want). With this method, the project will be transported as any other SAP object in a transport order.
LSMW -> Extras -> Create change request

LSMW doubts

I want to upload two materials using LSMW batch input recording for MM01 transaction.
1.One material with Basic view, Accounting, Purchasing, MRP1,MRP2,MRP3,MRP4 views
2.second Material with Basic view, Accounting, Purchasing and no MRP views.
My doubt is how to create a flat file for the above views, becoz if i include values for the "MRP View fields" for first material
then what to maintain against the same fields for the second material?
How to record the MM01 transaction,do i need to record for all the views?
Cheers

just enter nothing as MRP data for the second material.
you can react in the field mapping how you then continue with this info.
LSMW is flexible, it can work with almost any kind of source and content.
you could for example have for each view a seperate source file.
or you have everything together in one file
and if together in one file, then you could have all data for one material in one line leaving the fields empty that are not applicable for this material
or you have data for each view in an extra line per view beneath each other.
this is just because you sometimes may not be able to control how a source should look like.
if you can control how the source should look like, then define it in a way that is convinient for your style of usage in LSMW.
I personally like to have seperate files per view.
but even this does not need to be prepared by the users. They can give it in one Excel file with several tabs, I can save it to individual text files myself.
Just one thing I would like to repeat, do not do any recording for material master load, recording is static, but material master is dynamic with views and fields. Use SAP given import methods in LSMW. there is a method for standard batch input, for IDOC and for BAPI. Plenty options, but recording is certainly the worst you can choose for materials.

BDC/LSMW Doubt!

Hi Friends!
1) Could u pls tell me when to use BDC & When to use LSMW I am a technical Person i want to load data using LSMW Then when to do that? apart from doent need programming effort.
2) My Second Doubt is From LSMW, Suppose i am doing lsmw in development system can i transport the lSMW to Production & upload data to prod server just like BDC
or
I ve to do lSMW in production System to upload data in prod server
Since I am saving i am nor getting development class & transport req, that why.
Could u pls help me to solve my issue.
Thanks
Rahul.

BDC is for loading master data and LSMW for transaction data
BDC
BDC is basically for customized applications.
In bdc we have to give mapping concept explicitly.
It basically uses recording.
BDC is used by technical consultants , who do coding.
Coding can be done flexibly to customize applications.
LSMW
In lsmw mapping is take care by sap.
lsmw is basically for standard sap application.
LSMW offers different techniques for migrating data say : Direct input , Batch input recording , BAPI , IDOC
LSMW is basically designed for Functional consultants who do no coding .
Coding cannot be done flexibily as BDC.
Yes you can transport in LSMW! There is an import export option in extras of LSMW initial screen.

Doubt in creation of LSMW

Hi experts,
We have a requirements where the LSMW for infotype 22 should be run for a PERNR only if IT-0001 and IT-0002 are maintained. How to do this?
Remember the requirement is only for LSMW and not a BDC.

Hi,
You can put your ABAP code to validate at different levels such as:
__BEGIN_OF_PROCESSING__
__BEGIN_OF_TRANSACTION__
__END_OF_TRANSACTION__
__END_OF_PROCESSING__
To enable this, in the Field Mapping step of LSMW, choose "Extras" -> "Display Variant" & tick all the check boxes. After this step you see the above processing points. Double click on the Processing point to get the ABAP editor & put your validation as per reqmt.
Hope this helps.
Best Regards, Murugesh

Lsmw doubt in Bapi method

hi experts,
I am new for LSMW, i know the first 2 method, How to use BAPI in lsmw,( For example creation of BOM).

Gowri

A standard test report is attached to BAPI CREATEFROMDAT2, as shown in transaction SXDA/Goto/DX-Program library/Sales order/CreateFromDat2 (Its name is SD_CREATE_TEST_DATA). You can use it as follows:
Run SXDA/Goto/DX- tools/
object type = BUS2032
Program type = bapi
program = CREATEFROMDAT2
file type = physical
file name = <give a name here, say order.txt>
Select From test program pushbutton and the test report is ran and downloads already existing orders to your file name. You can display it or even change it.

thanq.
At some nodes, am getting the message "- default settings r changed"! Wht does it mean?
yes, I made some changes in ABAP code, of that corresponding node. But, in SAP point of view, R they(just ABAP code!) r Default changes?
I wanna to convert flat file external DATE to internal date format, Can I go for FM DATE_CONVERT_INTERNAL, if so, Wht is the function of Convert_Date(like Global_Data) with in LSMW?
So, u mean, just SAP suggeting to abapers, those names, like global_data, convert_data, for using FORM names in step 6 ?
thanq.
