Export materials master data using LSMW?

Hello gurus,
is it possible to export material master data using LSMW? Or are there other ways to do this (apart from manually selecting the desired data from the DB tables?)
It would be great if anyone could point me to some documentation on this.
We would like to export the master data from one SAP system and import it in another one.
Thanks in advance
Alicia

What I usually do is transferring the data via ALE (BD10) as IDOC to a file (instead of a different system). This file can even be located in an shared folder that can be accessed from both SAP systems
Then I use LSMW in target system, map IDOC to IDOC (almost done automatically) and import the data from this file, and beeing able to exchange field values if necessary.

  • How to upload different views of customer master data using LSMW-IDOC

    I need to upload customer master data  using LSMW Idoc method for my client. Now customer will have different views like main view, Sales data, Company code data, Partner function data etc. And except main data all other data can be multiple for each customer. We are going to upload data from tab delimited .TXT file. Should I propose different LSMW for upload different views for the customer from different .TXT files? or we can upload all the customer related data (like main view data and partner function data )from a single .TXT file. Kindly suggest which one in convenient and how we can prepare the data file in both cases.

    convinient is the method that you can handle.
    but as the guy who loads the data you have to load the data like they are available, like it is convinient for others to prepare the data.
    In general there is no problem to use an IDOC method to load a customer master with multiple comany codes and several sales orgs in one shot.
    the data can be in one source file, but need then to be maintained in a certain way
    Example1: all data in 1 structure
    GD1 - CC1 - SO1
    GD1 - CC2 - SO2
    GD1 - CC2 - SO3
    in this case the GD (general data) is redundand in each line which has different Company code data or different Sales Org data
    Example2: all data in 3 sturcures but one file
    GD1
    .CC1
    .CC2
    ..SO1
    ..SO2
    ..SO3
    Example3: data delivered in 3 files - you join the files in LSMW, they must have a common identifier like the old customer number in the beginning of each file
    FILE General data:
    GD1
    GD2
    GD3
    file Compamy code data:
    CC1
    CC2
    CC3
    file Sales org data:
    SO1
    SO2
    SO3
    LSMW is flexible and can handle each of this scenarios, are you flexible too?

  • Transferring MATERIAL MASTER DATA USING lsmw

    I am using LSMW to transfer material master data from text file using direct input program RMDATIND.  The problem is that the field WRKST in screen is of 48 characters while the batch data structure BMMH1 of field WRKST contains 14 characters. How can we transfer the full 48 characters in text file to THE FIELD BMMH1 IN DIRECT INPUT PROGRAM. Can we write any translation or routines . If yes, how is it possible. I can do the same using BDC but our client is already using the LSMW , only the new field WRKST for material has to be inserted. It is picking only 14 characters.

  • Materials Master data Improvement

    Hi Guys,
    I am starting a project in revamping out materials master data,as so many things went wrong  e.g material descriptions, base unit of measure, issue unit of measure and so on in terms of our mater data.This mater data is affecting Finance and Purchasing.
    I would like to know what is the best naming conventions can i use for our materials descriptions and what other things should i put into considerations for this project.

    Hi,
    First classify the materials based on following criteria's
    (a) Material Type (with Valuation Class)
    (b) Material Group
    (c) External Material Group and MPN (if required)
    (d) Material description - Naming convention - "There are no Golden rules" - Based on your business needs you can decide the naming convention or you can initiate "Global Data Synchronization"
    From SAP and Implementation point of view, internal number are very easy as well as from client maintenance (data preparation and Post Go-Live) angle.
    SAP System provides lot of match codes ...I mean searching criteria based on multiple selection. Therefore, we shouldn't suggest and recommend external number range unless we get lot of merits from client business angle. Our approach should be System dependent rather than person dependent!!

  • Export the master data from the existing B1 DB and importing to a new B1 DB

    Hi
    Is there any way to export the master data like item, GL, Business partners from the existing B1 database to a newly created DB. (export from the exissitng DB to a new DB as such) so that all the data will be available in the new DB without transactions
    Thanks in advance

    Dear Sanath
    You may use CopyExpress Add on to do the same . Here you can copy masters from one Database to another with out transactions . This process is very easy also. Some of the customizations also u can do the same way.
    Thanks and Regards

  • Error while importing Item MAster Data using DTW

    Hi,
    when we are importing item master data using items template
    it is giving error.
    Error:":connected value 1 was not found "
    can any one send the oitems template that is working fine wthout any error.
    Thanks,
    Neetu

    You cannot import  data prepration templates>>Testcase1_Test Data for Import function>Oitems directly.
    You will have to do certain prerequisites like setting CommissionGroup, CommissionPercent, CommissionSum,CustomsGroupCode etc., in SAP before importing Items.
    So I would like you to try out with minimum fields in the template and import. After understanding, you can import the required fields.
    I suggest you to use the template from "C:\Program Files\SAP\Data Transfer Workbench\Templates\Templates\oItems"

  • SAP fixed asset add-on. Not able to import master data using upload pgm.

    Hi all,
    I am trying to import fixed asset master data using an excel file into sap B1 2007a patch level 42. I am able to run the import transaction. It tries to process and then giving me a message ' Import end: Number of successfully imported assets: 0. Number of processed assets:2. We have looked at the event log file and couldn't find anything related to the upload.  I have gone through other posts and didn't face this issue. Any hellp is apreciated.
    Path which I am using to upload the fixed asset master master data: Administration --> Setup --> fixed asset --> import fixed asset master data.
    Following points (see below) also taken into account while creating the master data sheet.
    also replaced the ',' in the csv file to ';' before uploading and changed the fixed asset mode to 'transfer' in the administration --> system initialization > company detaills> basis initialization.
    Thanks

    Mandatory:     Item Code = Asset Class; this Asset Class must be previous defined in the Asset Settings (don't change/delete anything in the item-master data - there are the Asset Classes Z-00u2026. Are stored          
         Description = Description of this Asset          
         Capitalization Date = do it like this (YYYY-MM-DD). This columne must be a text format          
         APC = Aquisition/Procuction Cost; when you have digits after coma please use dot for separation - don't use thousand separators; Example 23444.45          
         Quantity = only mandatory, when you use the same assets stored under one asset number. Example you have ten equal chairs, so you can handle this with one asset number and quantity ten          
         Dep01 = Depreciation area; this entry must be previous defined in the Asset Settings          
         Depr Start date 01 = do it like this (YYYY-MM-DD). This columne must be a text format. The beginning must be the first of the month. Please compare it in this case with the capitalization date          
         Useful Life 01 = calculated in months (not years)          
         Remaining Life 01 = calculated in months (not years)          
         Depr Type 01 = Depreciation Type must be previous defined in the Asset settings
         Ordinary Depr 01 = ordinary depreciation; this is the comulated value you can see in the asset history sheet from the old asset solution. When you have digits after coma please use dot for separation - don't use thousand separators; Example 23444.45
         Unplanned Depr 01 = unplanned/extraordinary depreciation; this is the comulated value you can see in the asset history sheet from the old asset solution. When you have digits after coma please use dot for separation - don't use thousand separators; Example 23444.45
         SpDpAcc1 01 = Special depreciation account; when you use special depreciations and you have it to balance on special accounts fill in this account. This is an exeption - in normal projects not needed
         SpDpKey2 01 = Special depreciation; when you use special depreciation you have to enter this cumulative value in this field. This is an exeption in normal projects not needed
         SpDpAccu2026 = for further special depreciation accounts; This is an exeption
         SpDpKey.. = for furhter special depreciation values; This is an exeption
    Optional:     Vendor Code = when using this please be aware that the vendor code is previous defined in the system
         all others = you can use if you want. The only limitation is the type/length of these fields
         When you are ready with your entries mark from the first free row on for instance the next 20 rows than right mouse key - delete rows. This is necessary to prevent that in the background are invisible signs
         After entering in this default excel all your assets, please save it as .csv file. (the grey message - relation to information of csv - please say yes; when you close than excel a furhter message - would you save.. - please say no now
         After entering all data please save it as .CSV file. First grey window (format information) please choose 'yes'. Second window (when you close this file) please choose 'no'.
         You have now a .csv file in hands right now for uploading into the fixed assets.
         This example you can use for a test-import based on the year 2004

    The issue was  because of the conflict of Depr. Start Date, Use Life and Remaining Life. After I corrected the data, it worked just fine. The note 876670 helped me to resolve this issue. Thanks to Adam at Toronto SAP Business one support for his expert analysis and suggestions.
    thanks
