DTW Import Business Partner

Business One 2005A SP01, Patch 29
DTW 2005.0.17
API version 6.80.319
I'm a newbie. Now that's out of the way.
Can anyone tell me in general, how does one determine what are the required fields and data types for a DTW destination? This ETL tool is very different from any I've ever used before in that the destination fields in the interface change based on the import data provided. I'm used to those being constant, with required fields and their datatypes clearly defined.
Currently I am trying to import Business Partners, all customers via ODBC. I provided data for the following BP fields:
RecordKey                 1
CardCode                  '1001'
CardName                  'Company One'
CardType                  'cCustomer'
DefaultAccount           '_SYS00000001'
GroupCode                 2
PayTermsGrpCode      3
The error log tells me all of my records fail for the following reason: [OCRD:BankCode]Application-defined or object-defined error oBusinessPartners.
I assumed the required bank info had to do with with where I deposit payments from these customers. So I mapped data for BPBankAccounts. Every record is the same except for the RecordKey.
RecordKey    AccountNo    BankCode
1                   123              'My Bank'
2                   123              'My Bank'
Now The records load, but I've got bank info on the Payment Terms tab, not the Payment System tab. So my fix made my error go away, but the data are wrong. I don't want to have to import fake customer bank data just to get around this error. What does DTW really want?

Thank you for your comments about the bank/payment tabs.
I've since discovered my real problem with DTW is that the error messages are frequently spurious. I don't know if this is a bigger problem because I am using ODBC rather than flat files.
I was only dragging in banking info because I had received the error message ' [OCRD.BankCode]Application-defined or object-defined error65171'. After I rebooted, I din't get this error any more and could load BPs without any banking info at all.
Likewise, I was having trouble with addresses and was receiving messages like
'[OCRD.State2] , 'The connected value 'MI' was not found in table States'Application-defined or object-defined erroroBusinessPartners'. This was a US customer. I am in the US and this IS a defined state.
What I've learned from this expereince is not to trust DTW error messages.

  • Import Business Partner Group

    Hi,
    I want to import Import Business Partner Group but there is no template in DTW(PL-42)
    why it not showing ?

    The Template is not available in the DTW Templates Folder. You have to manually create the template.
    Steps to Create a Template Manually:
    Log in to DTW and select Advaced -> Maintain Interface.
    From the window, from the choose from list, select the 'oBusinessPartnerGroups'. From here select, 'BusinessPartnerGroups'
    Select this and right click and select 'Create Template' .
    Save the template and fill this and import.

  • DTW - Update Business Partner

    Hi all,
    I have import some BP master data , but i have to change the 'Cardcode'. Is that possible?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello,
    Could you describe more detail what template you have used when importing business partner master data beside business partner template ? I usually use business partner, contact employees and BP address. if I import the wrong data (incorrect data), I usually re -import the data after delete the existing BP master data. I just use these queries :
    delete from OCRD where cardcode between 'cust1000' and 'cust3000' 
    delete from CRD1 where cardcode between 'cust1000' and 'cust3000'
    I consider the update existing object task can also be useful feature in DTW to correct the incorrect data in database after importing but give consideration to record key.

  • DTW Problem - Business Partner Upload

    HI everyone,
    I have a question regarding the upload of business partner in the DTW. I am using two templates the Business Partner and the Business Partner Address. After the upload process, only the first record has been successfully uploaded according to the LOG File and the succeeding record has an error.
    "An account with the same code already exists.(OCRD.Cardcode). '200002'Application defined or object defined error 65171".
    But when I look into the database no record has been added. I see to it that the Test Run box is also unchecked.
    What seems to be the problem?
    Thanks in advance..

  • DTW Business Partner Properities (QryGroup1)

    Hi
    I am attempting to test importing Business Partner Properties but keep getting an error.  The error is:
    "is not a valid value for field 'QryGroup1'.  The valid values are: 'Y' - 'Yes', 'N' - 'No'Application-defined or object-defined error65171
    Now I have tried every combination of Y, N, Yes, No and cannot get the data to import.  Am I missing an enumerator or something?
    Appreciate your help
    Andrew

    Hi Andrew,
    Since the 2005A version of SBO, the DTW uses the same enumerations as the SDK. This means that a simple Y/N field needs to be set to either tYES or tNO (pretty confusing huh! ).
    These enumerations can be found in the SDK HelpCenter documentation (under the DI API reference section). The SDK can be installed from your SBO CD or from a full patch (eg 2005A SP1 Patch 10).
    Kind Regards,
    Owen

  • DTW problem when updating business partner

    Hi Experts,
    I want to update business partner master data via DTW.
    I only want to update the Remarks.
    In my import file only the fields RecordKey, CardCode and FreeText are filled.
    Example:
    RecordKey: 1
    CardCode: C20000
    FreeText: My Remarks
    The import is successful and the remarks were filled but the DTW has also updated other fields in the business partner master data.
    Before update via DTW the business partner has no payment methods included on the payment system tab but after update via DTW the payment method is included and is defined as Standard.
    Any idea?
    Thanks for help.
    Jacqueline

    Hi,
    yes, the existing payment methods were defined manually before update.
    But the payment method was not included for that business partner.
    Here are some hardcopys before update and after update.

  • MDM Business Partner 5.5 Not Creating Customer Master in SAP ECC

    Hi,
      I am importing Business Partner into ECC from MDM using XI with BP Business Content. This is done using proxy.
      The business partner is created sucessfully but the customer master table KNA1, KNB1 is not being populated.
       Does anyone experienced this before? Or has a solution for this?

    I am not creating customer in ECC. I am creating Business Partner,  this is because we are using IS-U which uses the BP instead of the Customer Master.
    So we are using the MDM BuPa to ABAP BuPa mapping.
    The thing about this is, when we run the transaction BP to create Business Partner, it automatically creates a mirror KNA1 record to match the business partner. But through MDM-XI proxy, it is not creating the record.

  • DTW BUSINESS PARTNER IMPORT

    Hi all,
    I've been attempting to import customers to a database and I seem to have mapped all of the fields except I can't seem to get a "state" in the mail to section of the card.
    I looked at the choices available when mapping in the DTW but I'm unsure how to bring this in.  Everything else seems to work but my template doesn't have anything on it.
    Thanks in advance!
    Mike

    Hi Mike,
    Check this thread DTW for exporting business partners and Items to see something related to you.
    Actualy, state1 and atate2 fields are the fields define Bill-to and Ship-to (Mail-to) State.  They link to another table OCST.  That is why you can not find the state in Business Partner template.
    Thanks,

  • How to import balance for business partner by DTW

    Hi all .
    Now , I want to import balance for Business partner by Data trasfer workbench , but I don't know use template ,
    Please help .

    Hi Tranba,
    I would advise using the Service AR Invoice/AP Invoices to import balances of the Customers & Vendors.
    By doing this you will be able to accept/make payments against these balances which you will not be able to do if you import the balances using Journal Entries.
    To import debit (positive) balances of your customer, use the oInvoices template in DTW. Otherwise for credit balances (balances where you owe money to customer) use the oCreditNote template.
    Simlarly for Vendors, use the oPurchaseInvoice template (credit balances) & oPurchaseCreditNote template (debit balance)
    Hope this information will help you in uploading the balances as per the requirements.
    All the best!
    Regards,
    Gyanesh

  • Is there a DTW template for Business Partner Catalog Number imports?

    I could not find it, quite possible may have overlooked it. Tried to enter the BP catalog numbers against the base items manually. That took a long time and afraid, any repeat of data entry will kill me. So it is best to have a DTW import template. Please point me to where it is hidden?
    Thanks.
