Field in Flat File DataSource

I created a Flat File DataSource.
In the DataSource, I enetered InfoObject 0OUTAGTARGT in the Fields tab ->InfoObject Template column. I want this InfoObject to be mapped
into field KTWRT (Target Value) in R/3 table EKKO.
However, when I enter the the InfoObject 0OUTAGTARGT and hit Enter key, system prompts me to copy the properties. I choose Copy.
And then it says:
Reference field 0DER_CURR was added automatically.
Now I have ORDER_CURR entered in the Field column, with InfoObject Template 0ORDER_CURR.
In the Field column, I replaced the field ORDER_CURR with WAERS (Currency field from R/3).
When I save it, I hit the following:
Missing currency field / unit field ORDER_CURR
System expect the field ORDER_CURR to be entered in the Field column. But in my source file, there is no field call
ORDER_CURR. It is actually WAERS.
How can I overcome this?

Maintain 0ORDER_CURR as it is needed by 0OUTAGTARGT.
Next, simply map WAERS to the ORDER_CURR field.
But it doesnt allow me to change. In DataSource ->Fields tab, I try to replaced the field ORDER_CURR with WAERS. When I click on Activate, I
hit the following:
Missing currency field / unit field ORDER_CURR
Please help.

  • Mapping Quantity keyfigure in BI 7- Flat file datasource

    Hi Guys,
    I have a problem in creating transformations for Quantity key figure for flat file datasource. In my csv file quantity is just  a number. i created a datasource and Infopackage and loaded data into PSA without any problem.
    In cube i have quantity key figure of QUAN type with 0UNIT unit of measure. So when I try to map Quantity in datasource with quantity InfoObject, 0UNIT is empty.  So I am unable to activate transformations.
    Can somebody suggest me how to proceed with htis problem? Should I define Quantity key figure as just number?
    Thank you in advance

    Hi Sneralla,
      you can take one  more field on you flatfile.. as units(ex: KG  or CM.. like that) beside of the  quanity filed..  and now load it into PSA and  now create transformations...  and now map this  units filed to  newly added field...
       you can try this option.. becasue.. when you are loading  Quantity   field data  from flat file means we need to mention the units also..

  • Flat File DataSource doesn't load properly.

    Hi all,
    we have a data file, which is tab delimited, saved as CSV and text versions. i have created a flat file datasource, mapped all fields.
    I can load CSV version fine, but when use it on text version, it doesn't like it and can only return column one with the rest of the column blanked in the preview tab.
    Setting:
    In the "General" tab, everything is unchecked.
    In Extraction tab, Adapter - "Load Text-Type File from Local Workstation"
                             Character settings - "Default setting"
                             Data format - "Separated with Separator"
                             Data separator - tab (00BB Hex)
                             Escape Sign - CR (00B6 Hex)
                             Number format - Direct entry
                                                     Thousand Separator - ","
                                                     Decimal point - "."
    i have tried different setting, change number format to "User Master Records".
    With the text version, the result in Preview can only display first column and Proposal preview can only shows one column. There is no error returned from the text version.
    The CSV version can display all data and they are aligned as well.
    what do i miss? is the text file not saved correctly? i can see all tabs and CR in the text version. it seems to be the tab is not detected properly or something.

  • FLAT FILE Datasource SERIOUS Problem

    Hi
    I want to read a header information in csv file to fill the FLAT FILE DATASOURCE structure.
    I cannot read it by default as I have to IGNORE THE HEADER ROW otherwise it wont come up correctly along with otherdetail  data that is below header row during extraction of CSV file.
    How can i do that or How can I CALL A Function module or any other to fetch that header row ?
    PLEASE HELP URGENTLY.
    Thanks

    you cannot read the header row only. But you can do a start routine within the transfer rules. There you can do whatever you like.
    Perhaps you might have some troubles getting your data that far. Your header row must comply to the rules defined in your datasource like size or data type. So you might need to change some definitions of your datasource.

  • Infopackage Routine in flat file datasource

    Hi,
    There is a requirements to load the data from multiple flat files in folder into BI which source data is coming from other system. Each flat file has it own naming convention.
    There are around more the 200 flat file (CSV.file) in folder,data source is flat file datasource.
    Could any one help me in above issue.
    Regards
    RAM

    I assume they'll be using FTP to send the files... You have the layout defined and naming convention as well...
    One option would be to create a user and folder in the BW server for the FTP to use it and put all files in the same place... From here you can define different Infopackages to read those files at specific times during the day or whatever schedule you guys agree...
    A thing with the naming convention... Try to avoid using timestamps on the names and keep the names to be always the same... That way you just overwrite the existing files, the space usage won't grow much and you can make the loads automatic with the same file names... 
    Just some ideas...

  • Ignore unwanted field in flat file

    Hi experts,
    If I am loading a flat file but one of the field has to be ignored. Do I need to add it in Datasource and not map in transformation.

    You would need to add the field to the DataSource, so that reading the Flat File in would be correct. From that point forward, there would be no need to map it to target InfoProviders.

  • Short dump while reading a currency field from Flat file into internal tabl

    Hi,
    I am getting a short dump........saying number conversion dump (while reading a currency value into field in internal table from a fixed lenght flat file).........
    Do I need to use a string variable to get the value from flat file or how ??
    Please suggest.

    Santosh,
    Thanks for your inputs,
    But my internal table type is of DEC (5,2) , I am getting that... it needs to be of type 'C'. Can you suggest.
    Ex :
    MOVE wa_temp-infile_string+106(8)  TO wa_item-QT_PERCENT
    This didnt work
    so i tried moving into a seperate variable
    MOVE wa_temp-infile_string+106(8)  TO v_percent.
    and then write to
    WRITE v_percent to  wa_item-QT_PERCENT.

  • Selecting fields for flat file input

    I've built a scenario that uses the File adapter to load a flat file into SAP and fully understand the concepts. My problem is that I have fixed length file I need to load which has 50+ fields per row. I only need 10 fields per row and those fields are spread throughout the row. Using fieldFixedlengths I specify the length of each field - and it appears they must be consecutive fields. How can I specify the fields that I need.
    For example my input file may be as follows
    AAAAAAABBBBBBBCCCCCCCDDDDDDEEEEEEE
    I only need AAAAAAA CCCCCCC and EEEEEEE. Is there a way to do this?

    Hi Robert,
    I don't know why you want to upload all junk data there apart from importing only relevent fields. if i am concered to do so, i'll do this in outside the XI BOX. If that file is in come fixed format or lets say its in csv format, just open that file into excel and then try to remove the row you don't want and then save it again to the same file format. and then import and map inside XI it will be simple.
    Also if you don't wanna to do this, then tell us what logic you wanna use to find which rows you don't want. I don't think if you are not sure or you already know what rows/fields u want.

  • Could not find the fields in Flat file, But able to see the fields in receiver Communcication channel

    Hi All,
    My scenario is Proxy to file, After testing my scenario the flatfile is getting generated without any errors.
    I can able to see all the fields in receiver communication channel payload. But some fields are missing in flatfile which is generated after conversion.
    This is my structure below
    Record
    ---Header
          a
          b
          e
          g
    ---Trailer
          c
          d
    ---Details
          e
          f
    And here is my content  conversion below
    Header.fieldFixedLengths   2,4,6,7
    Header.endSeparator         'nl'
    Trailer.fieldFixedLengths     3,5
    Trailer.endSeparator           'nl'
    Details.fieldFixedLengths    6,7
    Details.endSeparator          'nl'
    Actually in header there are nearly 34 fields, I can able to see all the 34 fields in reciever CC, But in generated flat file I can able to see only first 30 fields remaing 4 are missing in flat file.
    it is like in the above structure In Header there are a,b,e,g fields.I am getting a, b fields e and f are missing in flatfile.
    Thanks in advance.
    Please suggest me the solution.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Satish

    Hi Satish
    As you said 4 fields values are missing out of 34. Are those fields values are coming as blank in the file or not at all coming.
    Ex:
    you have 4 fields a,b,e,g and in channels you have defined length as 2,4,6,7
    If values for fields a,b,e,g are coming as 1,22,33,44444 respectively then the flat file is generated as
    1-22--33----4444--- (Consider - as space here)
    Now if you say e and g value then is the flat file generated as
    1-22---------------
    or
    1-22--

  • Need to read a field from flat file

    Hi All,
        In flat file i have  one field which may contain 100 enteries separated by delimanator ',' (comma).  There can be 1 , 10 or 100 enteries.   I need to put them in the internal table . Please suggest me .
        I have used the below logic .
    i split the field in 100 variables and then appending the internal table . the problem here is even if there is only one entry , the logic will append 99 blank enteries .  so can any one suggest , is there any other way do it . any Functon Modules available .
    Thanks.

    Hi Chetan,
    If i understand your requirement it is as below,
    Flat file.
    1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,....
    1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,....
    1,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
    Now you read the first line and split into an itab of type string, and you are worried about the third line where not all the fields have values and end up creating blank entries. to fix this, simply
    Sort the Itab, and use delete itab statement with the where clause as where column is ''.
    This should solve it.
    types: begin of t_data,
                line type string,
               end of data.
    data: li_file_line type standard table of t_data.
    split l_file_line at ',' into li_file_line.
    delete li_file_line where line = ''.

    The date format should be YYYYMMDD in flat file.
    IF the date format is not the above mentioned way, then you can change setting.
    Going to System in Menu

  • Error in DTP creation for a flat file datasource

    Hi SDN friends,
    Please if somebody can give me a help with this, it will be very appreciate.
    I have a DTP to load attributes master data into an infoobject. The master data comes from a flat file (data source flat file) .
    The extraction mode is full, when I try to modify any selection in the "Update" tab, a message "Enter valid value" shows, but it doesn't give me any hint about which is the wrong value that must be checked.
    The message ID is 00 002 and the and the text is the following
    Enter a valid value
    Message no. 00002
    Procedure
    Display the allowed values with F4 and correct your entry.
    I think it may be something related to the flatfile datasource. Are there any special considerations to create a DTP to upload master data from a flat file?
    Thanks so much for your attention and best regards,
    Karim

    Hi Karim,
    I suspect that you might be entering values that are not in correct format as defined in BI DTP. Eg: date it could be DD.MM.YYYY in BI you might be giving MM.DD.YYYY similary you may be entering the wrong format for master data you are giving it in selections.
    Hope it helps...
