Ambesh Tripathy

Hi,
Leave the field blank (license server name) if you are using the option Login to DB.
or if you are using the windows authentication then you need to put the server name its normally the name of the machine where SQL is deployed.
Thanks,
Shahid

Hi Ambesh,
yes it is possible to add fields in the dtw template. Once you log on to DTW, go to Advanced>maintain interface> from the drop down, you can select the doc type for ex. oBusiness partners-->then you can select the field on which you want to add , select it, right click on it and you get an option to add field. In this way, you can create your own templates as well.
Hope, the info was helpful.. Al the best.

Importing of Open sale order through DTW

Hi Experts,
Please explain how to upload open sale quotation,sale order,delivery,A/R Invoice.And what are the templates names for this.
Regards'
silpa

Hi Silpa n,
try to search the steps how to upload the open documents in the help file of DTW template. Here is the definition of the template and how to have it:
User-Defined Templates
Data Transfer Workbench provides users with default templates for all the objects in SAP Business One, which do not include user-defined fields. This release supports the import of user-defined fields for all the user-defined fields supported by SAP Business One DI API.
Use
As of Release 2005, SAP Business One Data Transfer Workbench allows the users to generate Microsoft Excel templates as the new interfaces.
There are situations where the user may need properties of the interface that are not provided by our templates. For example, in the case of User Defined Fields, the user can go to the Interface Maintenance tool to add the desired fields.
The user may also want to reduce the fields in the templates or rearrange the sequence of the fields. Interface Maintenance tool also allows users to remove unnecessary fields and rearrange them in the desired order.
After maintaining the interfaces, the user could generate new templates based on the new interfaces.
Procedure
1. To use the Interface Maintenance Tool, you need to first go to the menu bar and select Advanced à Maintain Interface to open the Maintain Interface window.
2. In the left frame, there is a drop-down list of all the business objects that are supported by the DTW. Each object contains one or more structures. For example, oChartofAccounts has one structure and oBusinessPartners has seven structures. To add or delete fields from these structures, right-click on a field and select Add Field or Delete Field. If you select Add Field, a list of fields will appear on the right frame. Double-click on a field from the list to add. Before it is added, the application will check if there is duplication. You can only add the fields that appear on the list.
3. To create a new template based on the new interface, right-click on a structure and choose Create Template for the Structure.
To view the existing templates that are provided with the installation, go to Start à Programs à SAP Business One à Data Migration à Templates

Item Cost Is not Updated when using Data Object OinventoryGenEntry in DTW

Hello Everyone,
I'm using data transfer workbench (OInventoryGenEntry) to send the production to sap-bo. All The info that I entered in the layouts Documents.csv and Document_Lines.csv are correctly loaded, except the info related to the field "price". Do you know what changes should I apply to the layouts in order to make the DTW transfer the Item Price?
(version: SAP Business One 2005A SP:01 PL:27)
Thanks a lot

Thank You Vincent. It works for finish goods that currently have cost in the sap-bo (taking std or avg) . Do you what should I do when the item is receiving the first-transation and it is an inventory entry coming from DTW ? Because when I test this conditions, the field "price" is ignored and when I check the inventory entry sent using dtw the recorded cost is "cero".
Thank a lot

How to pass null values From DTW

I have update value of Acctntcode of OACT table
Now i have to insert null in the field of Acctntcode From DTW (Data Transfer WorkBench)
How Can i do it ?

Hi,
little late to the party on this one but I had a similar issue today and found the answer.
Use a "/" (forward-slash) in your DTW file and it will set the field to NULL for you.
I don't know if this works for numeric fields (probably not) but it worked for me on several string fields I needed to clear in various Master Data objects.
HTH!

Importing Contact Persons through DTW

Hi,
I´am trying to import Contact Persons through DTW. These "Contact Persons" belong to Business Partners that already have "Contact Persons". I want to add new contact persons to these Business Partners. The problem that instead of adding those Contact Persons, the DTW is updating the Contact Persons that already exists.
I have two files, Business Partners and Contact Employees. In this first one I´m using two fields (Recordkey and Cardcode). In the second one, Contact Employees, i´m leaving blank the field "linenum". I´m also setting in the third step of the DTW process, the option of "Add all items into Schema if can´t find corresponding item when updating". In the 5 step I choose Update objects"
Thanks in advanced

Aridane,
Apologies ... I misunderstood what you were asking. If you look at the sample temple for Contacts that are related to Business Partners at ...
..\Program Files\SAP\Data Transfer Workbench\Templates\Data preparation examples\20. TestCase2_Test Data for Update function\oBusinessPartners\ContactEmployees.csv
Here you can see that you have to relate the RecordKey of the ContactEmployee to the RecordKey for the Business Partner. If there are multiple contacts for the same Business Partner, the RecordKey is repeated as in the example and you increment the LineNum for each different Contact.
HTH,
Eddy

Importing UDFs through DTW

object type is no object.
Now in this udf i want to add diffrent code and diffrent name in front of item in tempalte
through DTW.
How can i do this?
Thanks

hi,
Check below note.
Note 878906 - How to import User Defined Tables via the DTW
Summary
Symptom
You need to import data into a User Defined Table(UDT) with the Data transfer Workbench(DTW)
Other terms
UDT, User Defined Table, import, data, DTW
Reason and Prerequisites
Need for information
Solution
You create, for example, a User Defined Table(UDT) called "UDT" with the following fields
ZIPCODE
ADDRESS
In the database you actually have 4 fields since Code and Name are created automatically when creating a user defined table. When filling a UDT you must ensure that you fill these fields also and bear in mind that Code needs to be a unique number.
Code
Name
ZIPCODE
ADDRESS
To fill a UDT with information you would need a template something like this (It is also attached)
Code,Name,U_ZIPNAME,U_STREET
code,name,,
0,0,12345,Street 1
1,1,12346,Street 2
With the DTW you can then select the @UDT table from the Object Type list in step 2 of the DTW wizard.

Importing Foreign Currency AR & AP Invoices from Legacy system via DTW

Hi all,
We're in the process of importing legacy AP and AR transactions using the DTW (Data Transfer Workbench). We've come across an "interesting" issue which I'm sure other implementers must have come across.
It's quite straight forward importing Local Currency Invoices using the DTW (in our case the LC is GBP).
However when we want to import invoices in foriegn currency (in our case either EUR or USD), the customer also has a "set" GBP value for these Invoices, e.g.
550 USD (Business Partner/Document Currency which is a FC) - this is is the actual Document value
330 GBP (Local Currency value at that posting date in the legacy system)
What basically seems to happen in SAP Business One is that firstly it needs an exchange rate defined for the posting date that it's going into SBO for and secondly, even though we added the additional RowTotalFC column to the DTW template and explicity stated the Sterling value in the LineTotal column, it's STILL translating to LC based on the exchange rate from the posting date.
There's too many invoices to create manually and ideally these need to go in via the DTW. Have any of you come across a situation such as this when, using the DTW, the Sterling value for imported foreign invoices needs to explicity be a certain value?
Does anyone how to handle this in the DTW?
Any help will be appreciated.
Many thanks,
Mohsen

Hi Mohsen,
In my opinion, it is impractical to duplicate legacy data to B1. You either accept B1's logic or calculate all rates backwards (nearly impossible).
To match with old system transaction by transaction will not going to work.
Thanks,
Gordon

DTW for PO's and Customer payments applied to oldest invoices.

Hi everyone in this forum, I'm so glad that there is a community like this one so we can request to expert and not so expert SAP users.
This thread is made with the intention of request help in the following matter: The company I started recently to work with, wants to upload all Purchase Orders via Excel (with information sent by our suppliers) as well as apply customer payments with information of our bank accounts.
And I have read a lot about the DTW (Data Transfer Workbench) and I know that it works for importing information; I know for PO's is possible but not sure about application of payments received.
Does someone out there knows if it's possible to use this functionality DTW for this.
And also guide me in how to fill up the templates, for example how will the records will be match, through the DocEntry field?
What happens if i enter the header manually in SAP, assigning a Document number and providing it to our supplier so we can import only the lines. In the Lines template where can I enter this number so the lines are created automatically without importing the header.
Thanks in advance for your help,

Hi Israel,
This is possible, but you would need to run the uploads in several steps.
Once you have uploaded the Purchase Orders, you would need to convert these to AP Invoices for making payments against (Purchase Orders are non financial documents).
You will need the docentry field from the PO to be created in order to link the invoices to the PO. Then, once you have the doc entry of the AP Invoices you can create vendor payments & link them to the invoices, and a method of payment.
It may be easier to use the SAP function "Payment Wizard" to generate payments based on invoices rather than DTW

DTW Error A/R Credit Memos

Hello guys!
I got a problem while trying to upload A/R Credit Memos through Data Transfer Workbench. It shows an error message inthe DTW Error Log: "Cannot add invoice with zero total and deferred tax http://ORIN.DocTotalApplication-Defined or Object-Defined erroroCreditNotes".
I am using the Document, Document_Lines and Batches files to upload and there is no record with zero in the lines nor the total
I tried unselecting the deferred tax checkbox for all Business Partners and still doesnt work.
Got any ideas what can it be or how can I solve the Problem?? I´d appreciate your help tremendously!!!

Hi,
Try to omit DocTotal on the header file. That is a calculated field. What is your B1 version and PL?
Thanks,
Gordon

Thanks Rahul, the document_lines have the tax code and total alright, I believe probably it has to do with some tax configuration or something, but still I dont know which one may and if this is the real cause. What do you think??
Gordon,
thanks for letting me know, I will post it as a question.

DTW template for Inventory balance

Dear All,
what is the template for migration of batch wise inventory balances. also let me know what are the mandatory fields.
prince

Hi Prince,
DTW has changed its file structure to be in lines with the SAP Business One module menu so its much easier to locate the files.
So the new path for the sample Goods Receipt is:
C:\Program Files\SAP\Data Transfer Workbench\Templates\Data preparation examples\10. Testcase1_Test Data for Import function\Inventory\Inventory Transactions\Goods Receipt
The default template can be found at:
C:\Program Files\SAP\Data Transfer Workbench\Templates\Templates\Inventory\Inventory Transactions\Goods Receipt
Cheers,

DTW Chart of Accounts

I am attempting to Import some GL numbers using the Data Transfer Workbench. However, I am not very familiar with oChartofAccounts Object. Does any know what values are suppose to go under the following fields:
Numerator, Name, Size, Type.
I keep getting the following error "The Field is too small to accept the dataoChartOfAccounts. I am mapping the fields as follows:
Numerator = GL Number, Name = Name of Account, Size = Leave it Blank (not sure what value this needs to be), Type = Type of Account. The error message relates to the Numerator field.
I am guessing this is the right object to use for importing the GL numbers?
Is there any documentation on the field mappings for DTW?
Any help would be great.
Thanks!
