Problem in lsmw. step: display field mapping and conversion rule

hi,
The IDOC structure to be mapped is missing in step 5[lsmw using IDOC]. Hence target structures are missing in auto gnerated conversion program.
As a result the the step Convert Data step is failing.[Converted data cant be generated]
I am using standard BAPI charcteristics as my Basic Type.
Anyone having idea why the target structure is missing??..

The problem is solved....The field mapping was missing coz i didnt assign the target structure properly....

Maintain Field Mapping and Conversion Rules//LSMW

Hello Friends,
I want to add new fields in the step.no.5(Maintain Field Mapping and Conversion Rules).
Indetail i'm going to upload the GL balances, for DR and CR line item fields are same so system is not accepting the same field value, so i have added 1 for the CR line item fields like in the below example.
BSEG-WRBTR(Dr line item)
BSEG-WRBTR1(Cr line item)
but BSEG-WRBTR1(Cr line item) field not displaying in the step.no.5 to mapping to source field.
please let me know the solution for this.
thanks
swapna.

Hi,
I would like to ask few questions.
1. Are you using batch input recording or using any program for uploading. (through LSMW)
2. Whether all your debit or credit line items are same every transactions. I believe they should be same, because you are uploading the balances.
You should not have two similar fields for example, if it is WMBTR, then again WMBTR should not be there, it should WMBTR1 and WMBTR2. Make sure you have done the field mapping properly. When you have done the field mapping all the fileds must have been mapped. If any one of the fields are not mapped, then it will not be uploaded.
Please see the following LSMW sample guide:
http://www.scmexpertonline.com/downloads/SCM_LSMW_StepsOnWeb.doc
Maintain Object Attributes Do the recording - Make sure that you do not have two fields with the similar name. If you have two fields with the same name double click on the field name and add1 or 2 to differentiate between field names. Just Copy those fields and descriptions in excel sheet, delete the blank lines, then in excel data => text to columns, your field names and descriptions will be now in two columns. Copy them, then put your cursor on the next sheet, then edit => Paste Special => Transpose, all the columns will become your rows. Now your file structure is ready. Maintain Source Structures Give some unique structure name and description Maintain Source Fields Here you add the fields that are being used in EXCEL first sheet, just copy them and make all the fields as C (Constant) and then give length of 60 for all fields. Maintain Structure Relations Though structure relations are already created just go to this step, click on edit, then click on create structure relation, just accept the message stating that the structure relation has already been created. Maintain Field Mapping and Conversion Rules Do the field mapping for all the fields, all the fields willl be stretched and you will see five rows against each row. In case if there is any row that has NOT stretched means, there is something wrong in the mapping. Maintain Fixed Values, Translations, User-Defined Routines There is nothing to be done at this step. You can simply ignore this. Specify Files Make you must have saved your excel file as .txt (before saving make sure you have copied data from sheet2 to sheet 3 and then sheet 3 is saved at tab delimited file. Text (Tab delimited) Select your file, make SURE that you have select "TABULATOR" radio button and say OK. Assign Files Go to this step and click on Create assignment button and accept the message and say ok. Read Data Remove two check boxes and just click on execute button. See the log. Make sure you have number of entries (lines) in your excel file are matching with this. Display Read Data Display data give 1 to 999 lines and double click on one of the line and see whether fields are mapped correctly are not. Convert Data Execute and see the log match the number of entries. Display Converted Data Display converted data, give 1 to 999 and double click on one of the line and see whether fields are mapped correctly or not. Create Batch Input Session Check on Keep Batch Input sessions check box, then execute. If you select that check box, even after execution it will be there and you can analyze what happened. Run Batch Input Session (Takes you to SM35) Go to SM35 select the batch and click on process button (execute), make sure you have checked right hand side first three check boxes and FOREGROUND (because you want to save what it is creating) Say OK Keep on press ENTER on your key board in order to move the session further. If you follow these steps along with the guide, surely you should be successful. There may be small difference between the file and what I have explained but ultimately the purpose is same. Hope this is useful and let me know in case if you have any issues.
Regards, Ravi

Re: Error in LSMW Field Mapping and Conversion Rules

Am not able find the fields.
1. I checked the source structure relationship it is ok.
2. I have assigned the fields in recording too.
Please help me out.
Thanks in advance
vivek

hi ram,
I think u have gone wrong in the first step itself............
Do like this,
1) Goto Maintain Object Attributes
2) Select Batch Input Recording and Enter Ur recording Name
3) Then Select Recording Overview...
4) Thne Press DEFAULT ALL on ur Application Toolbar or Select EDIT-> DEFAULT ALL
5) All ur Source Fields will be mapped for Recording Fields......
6) Now u can see ur Fields in Field Mapping and Conversion Step......
I hope this will work u r doing with BATCH INPUT METHOD...
Reward me if useful.......

Maintain field mapping and conversion rule

hi
could you please tell me,
IN LSMW 5 th step, what is the role of maintain field mapping and conversion rule, please throw some light on it.
Thanks

it will set up the connection between your defined "source field" and the field which has been maintained by your import method .

Lsmw..........Step 5: Maintain Field Mapping and Conversion Rules

Hi All,
After maintaining all the four steps in LSMW, when I goto Step 5, I cannot see any fields which I have created in recording to map the fields to source fields. If i remember correctly there is a button to click to see all the fields under "Fields" after TCODE. Can anyone explain how to see all the fields which I have created using the recording session.
Any inputs will be highly appreciated. I can explain the issue if some one didnt get this?
Regards
Shane.

Hi All,
My question is, In step 5, when I go to map fields, under the "Fields" I can only see four sub nodes. and they are
Fields
          __BEGIN_OF_RECORD__ Before Using Conversion Rules
                    Rule :   Default Settings
                    Code:    MATMAS = INIT_MATMAS.
          TABNAME                      Table Name
                    Rule :   Default Settings
                    Code:    MATMAS-TABNAME = 'MATMAS'.
          TCODE                        Transaction Code
                    Rule :   Default Settings
                    Code:    MATMAS-TCODE = 'MM01'.
        __END_OF_RECORD__   After Using Conversion Rules
                    Rule :   Default Settings
                    Code:    transfer_record.
My question is after TCODE, i should see all my fields to assign the source structre fields. I can also send the screenshot if anyof you can reply to my sapshane27 at gmail

Mapping and transformation rules

Hi experts,
pls tell me what is this mapping and transformation rules in context wz filw to RFC scenario.
what do u mean by transformation and transformation rules.
Thanks
veeru

Hi
Mapping and Transformation both are same,to understand clearly we go for transformation.
Generally we go for Mapping/Transformation when ever you want to change the source structure into required format of the target structure we gor for mapping ie. Transforming the one structure to another.
Ex:
Source Structure:
Fname
Lname
Empid
Fname------>CONCATE theswe togetherly gives Name.
Lname------->CONCATE
My required Target Structure is:
Name(So to get Name we will use the CONCATE preefined functon under Graphical Mapping in Mapping Editor )
Empid
Thanks

Weird problems with motion 3 displaying pink lines and other garbage

I am using Motion3 to create HD graphics. With each of my projects I start with motion everything is fine until I build about 4 different layers or add any type of motion or filters.
It seems as my projects get more complex my viewer window or canvas starts displaying weird things. Pink lines, white and black garbage, nasty thin lines, various other junk. Sometimes the image is completely gone.
I have had some luck retrieving it by turning off motion blur or turning of field rendering and turning it back on. This fix only works sometimes.
Other times my video displays fine until I render out and then the garbage happens.
Anyone come across this?
I am currently using a an ati radeon 9600 video card and it's running two monitors on dvi and one vga. I have ordered an nvidia 7800 gs in hopes it will fix this problem and ease the pain of render times.
I have been using motion 2 for a while and never had this issue. I was hoping to milk this system for a while before having to upgrade.
Any thoughts or suggestions?

I think you are pushing that card to it's limit with HD and splitting the VRAM across two monitors. I would bet a new card will clear things up.

Field mapping and value mapping - Basic

Hi,
Assuming I have a repository containing a main table with 3 fields
1)Product
2)Description
3)Manufacturer (lookup field)
When i map the source file to the destination repository
1) i map fields product and description of the source file and destination repository.
2) map the manufacturer field between the source file and destination repository.
3)Value map the contents of the manufacturer field between the source and destination.
If i have a source file like this.
Product                                         Description                                Manufacturer
a                                                         a                                              Hindustan lever
b                                                         b                                              Hindustan lever
a                                                         a                                              P&G
b                                                         b                                              P&G
Since i have made the manufacturer field a lookup field, it can hold the lookup values Hindustan lever and P&G.
what happens to prduct ? i have made only a field mapping. Will the values a & b be stored in the destination repository this way?
Is a value mapping required for product as well to hold both the values?
Please help
Thanks,
Vignesh

Hi Vignesh,
You do not have to value map it. Import managerwill automatically assign both the values to product a and b. Basically it is set in the configuration options of the import manager. There is a setting "merge source records based on matching field". If that option is set to yes, both the values will be assigned to product a and b respectively.

Bulk 2.0 Deletion of Field mapping and Data

I have created a Account Export field mapping using Bulk 2.0 API and after creation, I tried SYNC and retrieved the Data. This was completed without issues.
Then I tried deleting export entity from Eloqua using an HTTP DELETE request.
Using HTTP DELETE,."accounts/exports/24/data";I tried deleting the data.
The request was successful, Eloqua returned a 204 response.
But Using Get request, I was able to retrieve the data again. It wasn't deleted
Again,Then I tried deleting the mapping itself, I got the status as '204 No Content'.
The data got deleted but When I tried '/accounts/exports', the mapping still exists there.
Is anyone aware of this issue and also how to resolve this?

I finally found it. Its mapping's are present in FieldTypes class. Even though its not mentioned in the API.

SAKNR and conversion rule

Hello!
It is possible that u201CG/L account numberu201D (Data element: SAKNR) could be stored without a conversion rule?
Now when we introduce a new account this is left aligned and zeros are introduced at right. There is any mechanism to deactivate this conversion?
Thanks a lot.

Are you sure of your description, SAKNR has the ALPHA rule, and is intend to receive numbers, so they are Right Justified and internally padded with leading zero (so the identification is sorted like the number), there is an Alphabetic field SKA1-SAKAN which contains the external format for search help purpose.
Nevertheless, there is a SMOD Enhancement to manage the general account number SAPMF02H. (Create a project under CMOD and attach the Enhancement)
Edit the ZXF03U01 include of function module EXIT_SAPMF02H_001.
Be aware that your Enhancement must not change the coding of an existing account, else your database will become inconsistent.

MIRO - display field ID and text

Hello all - I know this is simple. I just cannot remember where it is.
When I am in MIRO, I see the tax code and tax description.   For the plant, all I see is the plant code.   Where/how can I set it to see both the plant code and the plant description?    And not just the plant, any field.   If I want to change this layout, where is it?
Many thanks,
Cheryl

Thank you. I did check OB41.   I don't want to change the field status (required, suppressed, etc).
It is purely the display in MIRO.
When I am in MIRO and I look at the Plant column I see US00 - the plant code.    The person next to me sees United States Plant (description).
The same is true for tax code.    I see:   I0 Non taxable (code and description).   The person next to me only sees I0.
This certainly must be in user settings or personal layout.   I just can't find it.
Regards,
Cheryl

Problem BW : DTP lost source system mapping and new one created?

I had a little question concerning the BI content activation, when you have to activate objects and there are two source systems, one of them already with a flow working. Do you have to check both source systems in your screen of source system selection, if there are shared objects? I was afraid if I only checked the one I wanted the existing one would dissappear? I donu2019t want to touch the existing one as it was a 3.5 flow which has been migrated to 7.0.
I have also another question, which is a worse scenario of what has happened recentlyu2026!! Imagine you have originally one source system in your BW DEV environment (towards QA) with a certain amount of Datasources connected to it as well as some DTPu2019s. A new source system was added to this BW DEV (towards PROD). Do you think adding this new source system could have an impact in the mapping of the DTP towards the Datasources? In fact, some of our DTP have been modified and they are pointing to the incorrect Datasource/Source system. These DTP were created manually as well as the Transformations as it was a former 3.5 flow. Do you know a way to bring it back to itu2019s previous connection. Maybe a table that points to the correct source system or a function module? RSBKDTP and RSBK* tables do not store this info (only descriptions) and RSRV doesnu2019t do it.
Please let me know if you have had a similar case! Points are waiting and the gratitude of my boss...lol

Any ideas?

Mapping and Conversion?

Hi Gurus,
I am trying to take 20??000 to F_100 as opening balance and few GL's to Flow dimension. Is it possible? If so the how to map it and what are the conversions I have to maintain.
For Ex:
102345 - Project related expense
102346 - Project Services
102347 - Project TA/DA
all this GL's are common for 9-10 types of project. So for this GL I want to map them to Flow Dimension as follows
102345 - F_551
102346 - F_552
102347 - F_553
How I can do it? Next in time dimension external we have 20??000 which is opening balance, this I want to map it to F_100 internally. So pls explain me what are the conversions I have to maintain and how to map them?
Regards,
KumarMG

This may help. After a few tests of my own in appshell, I had built a new export transformation file, added the concatatonated columns, but I added VALIDATERECORDS=NO and SPECIFICMAPPING=NO. It appeared that after several different runs, the data would come out with a HEADER that was alphbetical.
Now the other big difference is that I generally export data using the EXPORTFROMFACT package, which will eliminate all parent records from my data and may be slightly different than the EXPORT package. But I suggest using this when pulling base data for other application purposes.
Based on my testing, it did not matter where I placed my mapped names, but that they eventually were all alpha sequenced in the data file.
Good Luck.

Problem on LSMW processing...

Hi gurus,
I'm doing this mass upload of production Version in MM02 using LSMW. However during batch input processing, the program ignores the "check" function, thus does not display the consistency status (check stat) of the selected parameters. How can i resolve the problem?
Please help.
Thanks and regards,
