Data Conversion in SAP E-Recruiting.

Hi SAP E-Recruiters,
Our client is using a Legacy application for recruiting candidates where it has 5000 candidates data base (internal and external candidates' applications).
Now they are asking for movement of this whole data to the newly implementing SAP E-recruiting system. We are exploring various data conversion methods and found that BDC, LSMW will not work for E-recruiting data upload as we have every thing in BSP/Web Dynpro pages here.
We need your help in finding a solution for moving this data from legacy to SAP E-Recruiting. Pls do the needful.
Thanks,
Sudheer

Sudheer,
So far there are no SAP delivered migration methods or BAPI's available conversion of candidates/applications, as you have already specified BDC's wouldnot work. Internal candidates always can be brought over in eRecruitment with integration techniques between PA and eRecruit depending upon the landscape.
However, for external candidates custom conversion programs have to be written by making use of methods/function modules that are used in BSP/WebDynpro.

Sridhar

Data Conversion In SAP XI

I need convert some data from one metric system to another when mapping, how to implement it in XI easily? do I need to implement java code or just design at integration repository?
Message was edited by: Spring Tang

Hi Spring,
May be you can try this method.
1. write the conversion routines as functions in a JAVA class.
2. convert it as a JAR.
3. import it in Integration Repository.
4. now in "user defined function", you can use the methods, present in the imported JAR.
this time also u need to create user defined function for each mapping, but that "user defined function" will have only one statement, the function call from that imported JAVA class.
hope this helps. if any clarification revert back.

Data conversion into SAP B1

Hi all,
First time poster with a newbie question.
I am a project manager working with a consultancy in implementing SAP B1. Our old system is SBT.
One of the tasks to be done is to import four "inventory" fields into SAP (about 2700 rows total):
Bin location
Batches
Cost
Quantity on Hand
I have two questions:
(1) I have a friend who is experienced in SQL data transfer. He said he could easily write a program to insert data directly into the SQL tables. When I mentioned this to my SAP consultant, he said that this is a HUGE no-no due to system complexity, high potential for errors down the road, etc. Would you agree with him? Or is he just trying to save his company from losing business?
(2) If the consultant does the data transfer, he estimates 2 days of work (using SAP Data Transfer Workbench). To me, this sounds like a lot of time! My data transfer friend says he could do the entire transfer in an hour or two. Do you think that 2 days of work is a reasonable amount of time for importing these four inventory fields into SAP?
Thank you for any help you can offer.

Lin,
SAP does not Support any kind of Direct data manupulation with their SQL Tables. Everything has to flow through DI API.
This being said Data Tranfer Workbench is the way to import the 4 peices you are needing to import.
Regarding the time line, it could be done in 10 hours or it could take a week, it will all depend on how the data is currenly available. If your data is accurate and all values are mapped in an Excel it could take 2 days or less. If your data is not in the right format it could take more.
2 days is a reasonable estimate. One thing to remember is importing data into SAP is not a tough job but it is a time consuming job.
Best wishes

Data conversion of open checks

Hello,
We are preparing our data conversions for a new implementation of SAP in the US. A question came up as to whether we should enter check masters for checks we have printed and mailed to our vendors but haven't been cashed at the time of go-live. The other option would be to put the balance of these open checks into a GL account and manually enter journal entries when they are cashed.
Our normal business process will be to use FCHR to process a file we receive from our bank with cashed checks. If we don't create check masters for our open checks, then FCHR will not be able to automatically process cashed checks from before go-live.
My question: is it best practice to load these open checks during the data conversion into SAP so that FCHR will clear them out, or is this normally handled as an exception using manual journal entries?
And, if it is best practice to load the check masters in SAP, what transaction code would we use to enter the open checks?
Thanks,
JB

HI
We have developed an ABAP program to set deletion indicatior in PO in mass. You can do the same by consulting your ABAPER.

Billing Legacy master & transactional data conversion/migration in SAP ISU

Hi Experts,
Please let me know, in ISU implementation project, what is Billing related Legacy master & transactional data conversion/migration is done in SAP ISU system.
Thanks in advance

Pankaj,
There is no straight forward transaction to download the Configuration data and export it to a file.
However, you can use the BC set functionality to extract the IMG node with its contents.
Check the following SAP help portal link for more info on BC sets
Business Configuration Sets (BC-CUS) - SAP Library
The archive data that you are talking about; Is it master data or transaction data?
Also, what this data is related to-Financial Documents, Billing related info?
There is one standard transaction SARA through which based on the migration object you can archive the data and export it into a file in a particular location..
Hope it helps..
Thanks,
AB

Data conversion strategy for new SOB

Dear Viewers
on 11.5.10
We are creating a new SOB with a change in currency from Feb-11 as this is the requirement
For the same, we need to do data conversion.
I have a confusion for Purchase Orders and Sales Orders
Purchase Orders:
Open purchase orders will be converted, means the unfulfilled PO`s i.e the ones not received and are fully open.
The PO`s which have been recieved but not delivered, Requested the users to clear the intransit receipts.
The PO's which are partially received, what to be done for them?
If a PO is fully received and Delivered will not me converted to the new SOB as its not an open PO
but If invoice comes after Feb-11, than how the matching will be done?
What if a return has to be made moving forward in FEB-11 under new SOB
Sales Orders:
Open sales orders will be converted, that is the ones that have been entered and not yet booked.
Users have been requested to clear off the Sales order lines which are already pick confirmed but not yet shipped, hence they will be shipped and interfaced to AR
For the Sales orders that have been booked, those lines that are not yet processed further will also be converted.
Now what if a receipt comes after feb 11, how to handle this as the sales order wiould not have been converted?
Please give your advise on the data migration strategy for PO`s and SO's.
Please do add any point that may have been missed by me
Appreciate your help
Thanks
Emm

Hi David,
for master data conversion you can use LSMW and the RE-FX BAPIs. (please refer to SAP note [782947|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/782947] ).

SAP E Recruiting - Manage future leaving employees in standalone EREC system.

Program HRALXSYNC
We are using E Recruiting system as a separate server and employee master data comes via ALE IDOCS
Is report HRALXSYNC need to run in case of separate server also?
It is creating user ids which we do want as our system administrator creates user ids and user ids comes from central CUA system with Info Type IT105.
Can we stop this background job as it is creating unwanted user ids in our SAP E- recruiting system, as mentioned in our case both the server are different and ALE being used for master data flow.
Processing of Future leaving / terminating employees
If we stop this Background job then how the suture leaving / terminating employees will be processed in our SAP E-Recruiting system.
In our case both the business function HCM_ERC_CI_3 is active and as per OSS note 1779471 (ERE: Information for processing future) Leavings it is mentioned to run program HRALXSYNC.
1. Considering this behavior do we need to start periodic service PROCESS_CAND_STATUS_CHANGE.
2. Is there any way program HRALXSYNC do not create user id ?

Hi Nicole
Thanks a lot for your reply.
As you said job HRALXSYNC is must require also in case if E Recruiting system running on separate instance also along with ALE master data distribution.
- Every one will not have user id assgned then this job should not create random users. Generation of multiple users may impact licences.
How we can stop randon users creation by this job?
- Also we have multiple companies rollout implemented in E recruiting system. And one company internal candidate should not apply job to other company. In this case if this job creates a random internal candidate user then they got assigned RCF_CAND_INT reference user and with this they are able to apply to any company. Whic is a wrong business process for us and a big issue.
- For future leaving employee - they are not getting convert to external in our system. Meaning this job do not assign RCF_CAND_EXT to future leavinf employees.
Please can you help us, Highly appreciated your inputs in this direction.
Thanks and regards
Sandeep

Data conversion/migration

Hi,
what kind of data conversion/migration are we looking in plant maintenance and inventory management?
Regards,
Vijay

Dear Vijay Srikanth,
I think you are asking for all such activities in Plant Maintenance which can be automated using some data conversion / data migration programs. Where by the user will just upload his data and the activity is achieved by the program. Please refer to the following documentation and search for the term 'Activites in Plant Maintenance'.
http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/print46c/en/data/pdf/MYSAP/SR_PM.pdf
You will find all the required information there. Thank you.

Using SAP Content Server for SAP E-Recruitment

Hi SAP Experts,
We are presently implementing SAP E-Recruitment using BSP services, We are successfully runnig with Whole E-recruitng cycle when we use SAP system DB as storgae for External Candidtes' Documents.
But, Our Client wants to have SAP Content Server to store all documents uploaded by External/Internal Candidates becuase client is worrying that if SAP system DB holds such huge data base of Resumes, it may slow down the performance of SAP System.
So, We need inputs from you suggesting whether is it feasible to use SAP Content server for SAP E-Recruitment Implementation. SAP no where suggests to Content server. So, we are in deliema to go for content server or not. If it is feasible to use Content server, pls provide me proper links or documents for reference.
Please give your valuable inputs,
Thanks & Regards,
Sudheer Kumar P

Hi Sudheer,
We are considering the same option. We are concerned about performance after all these documents are uploaded too. Did you install a content server? How did it go and was it difficult to set up with e-rec?
Thanks

FICO Data Conversions clarifications

Hi,
I am currently working on data conversion project. We have our FY from April to March and we are going live on June 01. I am trying to analyse the FICO objects. I have seen many conversations here but confused between balances and open items. I am trying to use ABAP programs instead of LSMW as much as possible
Master Data:
1) GL Master Data
2) AP Vendor Master Data
3) AR Customer Master Data
4) FA Master Data
5) Cost Centers
6) Profit Centers
Transaction Data:
Note that client wants to use only one offsetting conversion account instead of one account each for GL, AP, AR, FA etc
7) GL Balances
     what is the difference between balances and open items here and how do we post them (can i use f-02 for both) and document types?
     lets say i have GL 600100 which has a balance of $5000. If i want to post it during data conversion, should i post it as Dr 600100 Cr 700100 (this is a        offsetting account used only for conversion)
     how do you post an GL Open Items and what would be the accounting entries
8) Vendor Balances
     what is the difference between Vendor balances and Vendor Open items.
     lets say if i have 10 invoices pending payment for a vendor 10000, is the posting to KR doc type as Cr 10000 (vendor) Dr 700100 (this is a offsetting account used only for conversion) correct?
9) Customer Balances
     what is the difference between Customer balances and Customer Open items.
     lets say if i have 10 invoices pending payment by a customer 80000, is the posting to DR doc type as Dr 80000 (Customer) Cr 700100 (this is a offsetting account used only for conversion) correct?
10) Historical Data
     If the client asks us to post data from April 1 until May 31, what is the best approach, also here we are circumventing few things such as
     If there is a GR is done but not Invoiced, then these will be just posted as regular invoices (KR) instead of PO - GR - IV sequence
     If there is Invoice (PO based ones) but not paid, then these will be considered as regular open invoices (KR) as above
     like wise for O2C invoices too
I am trying to understand if i missing anything and if i have to follow any sequence. Appreciate if you guys can help with an example and if if i am missing any objects here...
Thanks
Shriya

Follow this and use LSMW.
LSMW for Functional Consultants in simple step-by-step way
Refer this to understand the basic:
Data Migration Part - Reg.
Regarding your questions: It does not matter whether you use single or five or six offsetting account. You should aware that at the end of the transfer your offsetting accounting balance should be zero.
You take trail balance (forget about the vendors / customers as you load them as open items)
All debit balances you debit in SAP and Credit the offsetting account. All credits you credit in SAP and debit offsetting account. Usually, GL open items would not be loaded, it is only balances. Open items are only for vendors and customers.
Note: You should NOT load tax line on the customer / vendor invoices, as they are already accounted for in the GL balances. Otherwise, your Migration account would never be zero.
For Assets, you need to load asset sub-ledger data separately through AS91 and GL balances separately. Use OAMK to set and reset the reconciliation accounts of assets. Once you loaded asset values, put them as reconciliation accounts and nobody should touch them.
You only load historical data line items of vendors or customers. You do not post goods or invoices receipts again from MM. Mostly, what you can upload is open purchase orders.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Ravi
