How to have dynamic number of items uploaded using LSMW

Hello Experts,
I have a requirement where i need to upload the data for quality notifications. One Quality notification can have any number of items. i.e. One Quality notification can have 3 items and the other can have 2.
I have got an excel sheet containing data for 1000 notifications. I need to upload it using LSMW - BDC Recording method.
My question is that if i record the process for 2 items in a Notification, the BDC will always process only 2 items for every notification. How to make this processing dynamic so that any number of items can be uploaded.
Please help.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Regards,
Himanshu

hi
according to me, once a recording is being done for some fields, you can not add fields to it. To add fields after recording, do a new recording, where give values to all fields. Ofcourse, for mandatory fields you ought to give values, other than that for optional fields, give some stsandard or common value. So that you can update it next time when you need it after recording is being done.

DTW Alternative Items - Which Template?

Hi Experts,
The subject says it all really. I have tried oAlternateCatNum but hit errors, and the file contained a column called 'Substitute', rather than the expected 'Match Factor'.
I cannot see any other likely candidates. Does it exist?
Thanks
Greig

Dear Greig,
Unfortunately it is not currently possible to import Alternative Items
via the DTW.
You could post your requirement in our SAP Business One Product
Development Collaboration forum by using the following thread.
/community [original link is broken]
As a workaround you can create a small addon by using DI API to add the
alternative items in the database.

Would be great to implement the alternative items migrating possibility via DTW.
SAP B1 2007 SP01 PL 09 DI API knows adding and updtating alternative items via AlternativeItemsService object.

Alternative item in BOM

Hi Experts,
I have a scenario. A is a FG and X and Y are the child items. We want to use X or Y is a alternative items in the BOM. i.e If X is available in the system, system backflush the quantity from X and if X is not there system backflush the quantity from Y. And if X is available in partial quantity, sytem backflush first quantity of X and then balance Qty from Y. Priority given to X is 1 and to Y is 2.
How can I maintain following fileds in BOM thru CS02 in Both X and Y.
Aternative item group
Priortity
Stragetegy
Usage Probabilty
GR

Hi G R,
Find below an example from a forum member - Mr. Mangalraj, i think it is one of the best ones to help understand the concept & usage. If after reading it, you need any more info revert.
Regards,
Vivek
Eg:
If there's a material Alt2 which can be used instead of a material called Alt1,now we will first form an Alternative item group using this 2 material.It can be more than 2 materials also.
Now in our case after u enter Alt1 as the line item for a HALB or FERT,select that entire row and click on Item details or Press F7.In Item data screen,in the bottom under general data u can find the field for Alternative item group.
Click that and enter the values as follows
A-Alt Item Group
2- Priority
2- Strategy
70% - Usage probability ,now come back.
Now enter Alt2 as the line item and after that as i said select that row & press F7.
Click on Alt.Item group button and enter the values.
A,
1,
2,
30%.Now save.
Now let's assume this BOM is used for a HALB.Let's assume 10 quantity is mentioned in the BOM for each of this line item.
Now if there's PIR for say 100 quantity
After running MRP for the HALB the requirements will be seen as Alt1 700 required & Alt2 300 required.
Here for the planning Only Usage Probability comes into picture.
When you are doing the production booking for making 100 quantities,the system shows 1000 quantity of Alt1 and no Alt2 will be seen in good's movement's screen.
Now the priority comes into picture,as we have given priority as 1 to Alt1 the systems proposes 1000 quantity of Alt1.
So while planning Only usage probability is considered and requirements fallas as per that.
While doing Production booking priority comes into picture.
So Here as we have maintained priority 1 and strategy as 2 for Alt1,the systems proposes 1000 quantity of Alt1.
If your strategy is then the planning & production will be as per the usage probability.
Second case:
If for Alt1 A & for Alt2- A
2 1
2 1
70% 30%
Planning will be 700 & 300 of Alt1 & Alt2.
But for production booking 1000 & 300 of Alt1 , Alt2 will be proposed by the system.Because For Alt1 though the priority is 2,but its strategy is 2.
For Alt2 priority1 but strategy is 1(Manual maintenance).

Alternative items to be selected at the time of confirmation

I maintain alternative items by using alt group in the bom.But while confirmation of parent material,the material which has the first priority is coming.but if i want to choose different material then what should i do?
first thing:
I dont want to touch bom as user dont have authorization for the same.
second thing:
can it is possible alt materials will be selected on the basis of stock avl in sto loc

I know that on the basis of priority ,i can select the required component for confirmation but please tell me how i can select material on the basis of stock available.because suppose in bom i maintained 110022 material as first prioriry and i want to select 110023 at the time of confirmation .
I know user can change the component 110022 to 110023 on confirmation screen manually .
also if we dont want user to change this manually .
Is there any solution that all alt items will appear on the screen and user can choose as per requirement.

Concept of alternative items

dear gurus,
 can any body explain the concept of alternative items.ie if 1 material is not there we can use other material.whether it is correct?what are all the other uses in using alternative items.please explain the configuration also

Hello Mr.Gide,
I'm not willing to give you definitions & explanations for Alt.Item,
Group,
Priority,
Strategy,
Usage Probability.
Kindly check in SAP Help.
Let me put some practical inputs.
Eg:
If there's a material Alt2 which can be used instead of a material called Alt1,now we will first form an Alternative item group using this 2 material.It can be more than 2 materials also.
Now in our case after u enter Alt1 as the line item for a HALB or FERT,select that entire row and click on Item details or Press F7.In Item data screen,in the bottom under general data u can find the field for Alternative item group.

So many combinations can be made using this.Dont get confused.
If satisfied,plz reward points to all the answers which helped u and close the thread.

How to upload price for a item in price list using DTW ?

hi all,
How to upload prices of all the items in price list using DTW ?
What are templates used for it ?
Item masters were already created.
Jeyakanthan

Hi
Create two Excel templates 'Items.xls' and 'Items_Prices.xls'
Since you have already imported items, just have the record key and item code alone in the 'Items.xls' . For example:
RecordKey.......ItemCode
1.......................I0001
2.......................I0002
In the Items_Prices template, Fill Pricelist Number fromOPLN and Price of the Item
RecordKey....LineNum......Price
1......................1..............350.00   (Means for Item I001, Pricelist 1 is updated with 350)
1......................2..............300.00   (Means for Item I001, Pricelist 2 is updated with 300)
2......................1..............550.00   (Means for Item I002, Pricelist 1 is updated with 550)
2......................2..............600.00    (Means for Item I002, Pricelist 2 is updated with 600)
In step 4 of DTW, Choose
Check - Update Exisiting Object
Uncheck - Import New Object
This should update the pricelist alone for the items

Additional characters (" ") found in items/ bp nameswhen uploading thru DTW

Hi Experts,
I usually encounter items names or bp names with double quotations ("xx ") after data is uploaded thru DTW. This will limit filtering of names during browsing.
Is there a way to avoid this additional special character? As of now, since many items/bp were already in the system, is there an sql query statement to delete the quote (") before the item & bp names?
Thanks.

Hi, have you used tab delimited format for the import? All you need to do is run an update on the BP Names, but replace all " characters in the import file. Open the file, CTRL+H, and replace all " characters with nothing. Then run an Update Existing Object type import.

Upload Period and Volume Discounts using DTW

Hi,
Is it possible to upload Period and Volume Discounts using DTW? If so, which template is used?
The SAP screen is unweildy to administrate with many Items, Price Lists and Periods of Discount when the Items being discounted are not always the same.
Thanks
Greig

Hi Greig,
You may find oSpecialPrices folder for the templates.
Thanks,

Deletion of line items from Sales Order using DTW

Hi Experts
I have 160 sales which all require a particular item needs to be
deleted before they can be processed further. It is ths same item on every order but
doesn't appear at the same row number. In some cases it may appear more than once
on an order.
The line item needs to be deleted based on the row numbers which could be different on every order (LineNum)
Rather than have admin go through them 1 by 1 and delete the
row is it possible I can use DTW to perform an update on each row to delete it?
I'm not sure how to do this since I have only ever used DTW
to add or edit.
Thanks
Geoff

Hi,
1. It is not possible to delete records using DTW, only importing new records or updating existing ones are supported. These are the only valid operations via DTW.
2. It is possible to delete the contents of an edit text field by using the character / or -1. However it is not possible to clear an entire row/line using this notation.
Thanks & Regards,
Nagarajan

Upload of BP Data using DTW

Hi,
I tried to upload the BP data in one of the databases using DTW.
I was able to upload the masters successfully but was not able to upload the bill to and ship to addresses for the BP data.
Data which had special characters like , or hyphen appeared with double quotes, how can this be corrected?
Jyoti

Yes, I am...
Is there an issue with the address type field value...?
I have been using "bo_BillTo" for billing address and for Shipping addresses "bo_ShipTo"...is this correct...?
I have also noticed that there are some values for which the "System Information" shows as exact input values, however the values or input required for those columns are completely different.
For e.g. column called "VATStatus" in the BP template, there are two options available, "Liable" or "Exempt".
The value to be inserted in this column for the former is "vliable" at the time of import...
How can we determine what to input for the latter?
Hope you understand my question...
