Difference between batch input method and direct input method in LSMW.

Hi all,
what is difference between batch input method and direct input method in LSMW. are they same?if differences are there tell me with details?

Hi,
Here are few differences bw Batch Input and Direct Inputs methods.
Batch Input: Uses classical BDC approach, but doesn't required an ABAP program to be written to format the BDC DATA. The user has to format the data using predefined structures and store it in a flat file. Yet it is a slower updation method.
Direct Input: Works similar to Batch Input programs. The difference is, instead of processing screens they validate fields and directly load the data into tables using standard function modules. Much faster and suits for large volume of data.
Thanks.

Error Log in Direct Input Method of LSMW

Hello!
We are developing an upload through LSMW using its direct input method for material master. This method is better than the Recording method but the only problem we are having is maintaining the error log. Unlike the recording method, in direct input the system gives an error log but it cant me maintained in a permanent file i.e when we go back to the upload for specifying a new file, the error log of the previous file is gone.
Is there any way that we can maintain the error log in a permanent file? Help needed ASAP!
Thank You!
Regards
Sahar

When i enter %PC in the command field the system gives following information
Function code cannot be selected
     Message no. 00255
Diagnosis
     You entered an inactive function code.
     You can trigger this by:
     o   inputting directly in the OK code field,
     o   inputting the fastpath of an inactive menu function,
     o   choosing an inactive function key, or even by
     o   choosing ENTER, if ENTER has an inactive function.
     In batch input, a function code is included in field BDC_OKCODE of the
     session, if this function code is not assigned to ENTER.

LSMW direct input method

Hi
What is the procedure to include a specific program / report in the drop down box of program name of Direct Input method in LSMW?
What is the diff. between Physical path and Logical path?
How can we give our input data using logical path when we execute some standard batch or direct input programs?
Ex. RMDATIND.

LSMW - Standard Batch/Direct Input Method.

Hi all,
I was trying to create the LSMW for MM01 using standard Batch/Direct Input Method. While I selected object as "0020- Material Master" I am not able to get the Method for Batch Input. Is there any we can create method for batch input or we have to use only direct input?

You have to use direct input method RMDATIND object 0020 to create materials. You may find batch input very complicated to create materials.

Material Master upload - LSMW direct input method - Internal Number problem

Dear friends,
I am uploading material masters with LSMW - Direct Input Method.
The materials have internal numbers.
I have four plants and I want to extend the same material in all plants.
But LSMW is creating a new material for each row.
Is there any way out or any indication I put in file to repeat the internal numbers created for all other plants?
I can create another LSMW for material extension. But I want to know whether the problem can be solved in the current LSMW?

Hi,
Not sure about the same requirement of countries & tax codes for all the materials for your upload.
If this is the case,
enable the
Extras->DisplayVariant
from the menu of the LSMW & check all the check boxes. Now you see the
__END_OF_RECORD__
for the structure
BMMH2
which has to be mapped with the input structure in the Maintain structure relations step.
double click on the
__END_OF_RECORD__
which will lead to ABAP editor & then put the following code:
* Canada
bmmh2-stype = '3'.
bmmh2-aland = 'CA'.
bmmh2-taty1 = 'CTX1'.
bmmh2-taxm1 = '1'.
transfer_record.
bmmh2-stype = '3'.
bmmh2-aland = 'CA'.
bmmh2-taty1 = 'CTX2'.
bmmh2-taxm1 = '1'.
transfer_record.
else if you have a different set of countries with different tax codes for the set of materials,
You need to have a separate file for this & map the fields to the structure fields of
BMMH2
Hope this helps.

LSMW - DIrect Input Method --PO

HI All,
I am using LSMW Direct input method to upload Purchase orders.But my probelm is i am using Two files for header and items. In my case i have to upload so many Purchase orders with multiple item data at a time.
Example.
Header file
H1 ......
H2 .......
H3 ......
H4 ......
Item File
I1 ....
I1 ....
I2 ....
I2 ....
I3 ....
I3 ....
I3....
I4....
But my question is How the program will identify Which items are related to particular Header.
Please help me on this.
What will be the identification for header and item.
Thanks in advance,
Bhanu P R Gattu.

I usually use a single file for both header and item:
When you specify your source file, contents must be "Data for Multiple Source Structures (Seq. File)", and header record must precede item(s) record(s):
H1
I1-1
H2
I2-1
I2-2...

Guillermo.

LSMW direct input method - Equipment BOM

Hi Experts,
We have already written program for equipment BOM master in LSMW direct input method. I do not know about this direct input method.
Here they have maintained 2 source structures and relavant source fields. one for BOM header and other for BOM items. The first field they maintained is LINK in both the source fields. I really do not know what that field is all about. I checked in step specify files and found that they have previously mentioned two files, one for BOM header and other for BOM items. but when I tried to save in this step it gives me error that " No logical path specified". Can anybody tell me what is this error is all about.Please heip me to get out of this problem.
Thanks and best regards,
Praveen

Hi praveen,
LSMW does not accept two files.
In the step create source strcture
crte one structure with BOM header like with ZBOM_H.
Under that create another structure for item ZBOM_I.
ZBOM_H
ZBOM_I like this structure will will be.
In the step source fields.
crate onne variable with indicatoe header.While creating the variable we have field 'identify field content ' field in pop up screen 'H'.
assign all header files under identifier 'H'.
then under ZBOM_I create identifier with 'I'.
Assign all the item fields to this.
then map the fields.
In the file should be H header fields.
                              I item fields.
                              I
                              I.
Then Header .It should be like this.
in saptechnical u will get the examples go though them once.
Thanks

LSMW Direct Input Method - Change Documents

Hello experts,
Could anyone please tell me how to enable the change documents(not just runtime) for LSMW direct Input method? There is also one option "Change Documents" in the last step of the process, will this write into any table that I see the changes later If I run the last step with selected this option? If yes, What are the application (customer master data, vendor master data, material master data, etc) specific tables?
Is there anyway that I could populate this method changes into the CDHDR & CHPOS tables?
SAP documenation on this:
To enter the data into the *corresponding database tables directly*, the system calls a number of function modules that execute any necessary checks. In case of errors, the direct input technique provides a restart mechanism
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/fa/097174543b11d1898e0000e8322d00/content.htm
Since this tool writing data into database tables directly skips the CDHDR & CDPOS recording..
Is there any other possible way for the complete change logs (change pointers???)? ( Or only table logging?)
Please share your experience on this.
Thanks,
Himadama

LSMW - Direct Input Method - AS91 - RAALTD11

Hi All,
I am trying to master data upload of assets into SAP. I am doing it using LSMW - Direct Input method.
I am getting a lot of errors:
- No valid cost center was entered --- Whereas the cost center entered is valid.
- Unexpected record type: B --- whereas I have not specified any record type.
- Company code 0315 already contains assets in the number range T4 --- Whereas I have run the LSMW only for company code 0312 and with just a single record.
- And many more such errors.
Please advise if I am doing something wrong.
Also I want to know to which field shall I pass the Cumm Acquis Val and the Net Book Value.
I want to know the corresponding fields in the BALTD and BALTB structures for these fields.
My flat file contains the below fields:
- ANLKL    Asset Class
- BUKRS   Company Code
- TXT50     Description
- AKTIV    Capitalized On
- KOSTL   Cost Center
- ORD42    Allowed Capital Allowances?
- EAUFN   Investment Order
- NDJAR   Planned Useful Life in Years
- NDPER Planned Useful Life in Periods (months)
- NDABJ   Expired Useful Life in Years
- NDABP Expired Useful Life in Periods (months)
- ??    Cumm Acquis Value
- ??    Net Book Value
I don't know how to map the last two fields. Although I could find another field ANBTR01 in BALTB structure. But then which field tomap to this structure and to which field shall I map the remaining one.
Please advise.
Thanks & Regards,
Namrata

Hi All,
I have now removed the BALTB structure and am filling only teh BALTD structure. I am not getting any errors and the asset is getting created.
But when I go and check for the asset in AS93 / AS92, the depr areas (planned and expired life in years and planned and expired life in periods) are not getting populated in SAP. Also in the Takeover Values tab, ***.acquis.val and the Net book value fields are not getting populated.
Below is the mapping of all the fields:
BALTD-MANDT = 600 (GETTING POPULATED ITSELF)
BALTD-BUKRS = SOURCE-BUKRS
BALTD-ANLKL = SOURCE-ANLKL
BALTD-TCODE = AS91 (HARDCODING IN LSMW)
BALTD-RCTYP = A (GETTINGPOPULATED ITSELF)
BALTD-AKTIV = SOURCE-AKTIV
BALTD-ORD42 = SOURCE-ORD42 (ALWD)
BALTD-EAUFN = SOURCE-EAUFN
BALTD-TXT50 = SOURCE-TXT50
BALTD-KOSTL = SOURCE-KOSTL
Below are the dep areas fields values and the takeover values.
BALTD-NDJAR01 = SOURCE-NDJAR01 (PLANNED LIFE IN YEARS)
BALTD-NDPER01 = SOURCE-NDPER01 (PLANNED LIFE IN PERIODS)
BALTD-NDABJ01 = SOURCE-NDABJ01 (EXPIRED LIFE IN YEARS)
BALTD-NDABP01 = SOURCE-NDABP01 (EXPIRED LIFE IN PERIODS)
BALTD-KANSW01 = SOURCE-KANSW01 (CM.ACQUIS.VALUE - IN TAKEOVER VALUES TAB)
BALTD-KANSW02 = NET BOOK VALUE IN TAKEOVER VALUES TAB.
BALTD-WRTMA = SOURCE-WRTMA (SUGGESTED BY SOMEONE ON SDN FOR NET BOOK VALUE)
None of the above dep areas and takeover values fields (fields in bold) are getting populated in SAP.
Please help and advise how to proceed with this.

Namrata

LSMW - DIRECT INPUT METHOD FOR UPLOADING PP MASTER DATA

Dear Gurus,
A LSMW project (DIRECT INPUT METHOD)has been created for PP master.
But Now They have Lost Previous File which they have prepared Earlier.
Now to Create a file for the Same Project wat fields need to be taken.
By taking only Source structure fields it is giving error.
In project some constant fields are also there.
pls guide me.
With Regards,
GMP

have Lost Previous File
what does that mean? did they lose the source that should be used to load the data from?
without source you cannot load data.
Had you ever got this source file? how? by mail, then check your old mails and take it from there, ask the sender to he/she checks the SENT folder in his mail system. Maybe someone has a local copy of this fille.

Lsmw direct input method for ct04

Hello Friends,
Im using lsmw direct input method RCCTBI01 obj 0150 method 000 for creating characteristics value.
In lsmw im getting erro at "specify file" stage as "no logical path has been specified. I have come to conclusion tht i have to define some logical path in FILE transaction code but im not clear what needs to be done .
Pls let me know how to define logical file path for ct04 transaction.
Regards,
Sunny

Hi,
First choose or create a directory by selecting say TMP as the logical file path and then click the assignment of physical paths to logical paths.Double click your operating system eg. UNIX then specify the directory followed by a generic filename e.g. /tmp/<FILENAME>
Now click logical file name definition and create a new name, say ZCT04_FILE give the logical path as TMP and then specify the file name e.g. CT04.TXT and the format ASC.
The file will then be created as /tmp/CT04.TXT

Darren
