HCM Master data upload sequence & best practices
Experts,
What would be the best method and recommended sequence to upload HCM master data into the below infotypes?
0,1,2,3 6,7,8,9 207,208,209,210 (payroll)
21,167,168,169,170,171 and 3.series (Benefits)
PA0795
PA2006
PA2012
PBO795
T529T
T530T
Please advice.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
The best method to mass upload is LSMW
the sequence will be
First you need to create the master data so the Action tables need to be configured first
T529T
T530T
also other related PA config need to be completed
Then when you will start uploading data the sequence will be
0, 1, 2 , 6, 7, 8, 9 , 207, 208, 209, 210, 21, 171, 167, 168 169, 170, 2006, 2012, 795
The benefits features (BAREA, BENGR, BSTAT) also need to be configured with all other benefits related config prior to uploading benefits information
Some other imp. features like LGMST, TARIF, ABKRS, SCHKZ etc.. also need to be configured prior to uploading the employee master data.
Hope this will be of help
Regards,
Guds

FI Master data upload sequence
Experts,
Please excuse me if my post sounds vague. I am a Technical Consultant working off-site independently. I couldn't think of a better forum to get functional advice.
Please look at the below list of FI Master data upload objects, and suggest:
a. the recommended sequence in which the objects are to be uploaded
b. points to consider/tips for uploading/recommendations (LSMW/BUS*/BAPIs, etc)
FI Objects:
1. Cost Centers
2. Profit Centers
3. GL Accounts- COA,CC
4. Fixed Assets
5. Bank Data
6. Cost Elements
7. Activity Groups
8. Activity Types
9. Activity Prices
Thanks in advance.
NWHi,
we have to upload first the Master such as G/l Accounts , Primary Cost Elements & Secondary cost elements.then upload the open items , then p/l balances, then B/S balances , finally asset master with balances
Pre-Check LSMW: To-Do-List Before Using the Tool
The LSM Workbench is a tool that supports the transfer of data from non-SAP systems to R/3. Basic functionality of the LSM Workbench:
1. Import old data from spreadsheet tables or sequential files.
2. Convert the data from source format into target format.
3. Import the data into R/3.
Before using the LSM Workbench, you need a concept for data migration. In particular, note the following items:
· Make sure that R/3 customizing is complete.
· Analyze the data existing in the legacy system to determine which data will be needed in the future (also from a business-operational point of view).
· Consider whether usage of the tool makes sense with regard to the data volumes to be transferred. In case of very small data quantities, it may be easier to carry out the transfer manually. With very large data volumes, however, batch input technology may lead to excessively long runtimes. Rough estimate for the required time: 10000 records per hour; this value, however, may vary strongly depending on the hardware.
· Identify the transaction(s) in R/3 you want to use for bringing the data into the SAP System. Here, it may also be relevant whether the data is required for statistical (evaluation) purposes or for further processing in the system.
· Test the relevant transaction in R/3 manually with test data from the old system and make sure that all required fields are filled. There may be required fields that do not correspond to any data window in the legacy system. In such a case, assigning a fixed value or defining the field as optional for data transfer may be appropriate.
· Check the interfaces provided by the application. Is there a batch input program and an IDoc (for example)? Which method should be used in your project?
· Develop a mapping plan in written form: Assign the legacy system fields to the R/3 fields.
· Determine the form (e.g. via u201EMOVEu201C or assigned according to a rule) in which the legacy system data shall be transferred to the SAP System.
· If applicable, define the allocation rules (LSM-internal name: u201Etranslation rulesu201C).
· Define the way for extracting the data from the legacy system. (Note: LSMW does not extract data.)
· Describe the form in which the old data are available: Will the host or the spreadsheet interface of the LSMW have to be used?
· If only a part of your legacy system will be replaced by R/3, define the functionalities to be provided by the SAP System and those to be provided by the legacy system. If required, create a concept of the data flows and interface architecture.
These questions can only be answered individually for every customer; as a matter of course, this should be done before the tool is used!

capaticity
0
cost center hirarchie
1
activity type
1
cost center

Is this sequence okay or will i need to re-order certain elements?
Please advise as to where the GL accounts would fall in this particular sequence.

GraemeI would include 'GL Account' load as part of your group 0. There are no real dependencies except for the FICO config like company code,etc.

Hi friends,
1.Please send me the prerequisites for HR Master Data Uploading?
2.Also tell me is it mandatory to create the jobs and positions, on OM?, If no what is the option?
since we have to use the imp. Infotype Org Assignt 0001>position field. We have 133 positions and jobs. how to do it?
Please reply.
Thanks,
milindsHi Milind,
1.Please send me the prerequisites for HR Master Data Uploading?
>>You need to first understand what all data need to be uploaded i.e. which all infotype you will be maintaining for the master data.
Then the second step is to identifying the fields for different infotypes, so while doing this you can create the template for each infotype. Along with this you also need to understand the source data means will it get directly uploaded or do any translation logic is required.
After this you can create LSMW's or BDC program.
2.Also tell me is it mandatory to create the jobs and positions, on OM?, If no what is the option?
since we have to use the imp. Infotype Org Assignt 0001>position field. We have 133 positions and jobs. how to do it?
>>If you want authoraizations and workflows for approvals. also if FI is integrated then its always best to have positions, organizational units, cost centers in place and the rellevant relationships between the objects.
You can create BDC using TCODE PP02 for creating positions, Jobs and their relationships.

Master data upload into SAP system
Hello,
I want to know if there is any standard method to upload material master, customer master, vendor master and finance master data into SAP system.
I am not referring to LSMW's, BDC's and using BAPI's. I am aware of standard programs like RMDATIND for material master upload, RFBIDE00 for customer master upload and RFBIKR00 for vendor master upload. But these are using direct input method and SAP recommends this only for testing purpose. I am not sure if this could be really used in actual live scenarios.
From some other posts in the forum, I came to know about some transactions like BDLR, SXDB and BMVO. Can some one tell me how to use these T.Codes?
If some one has any detailed documentation on these T.codes or in general standard master data upload techniques please send it to [email protected]
Thanks in advance,
CMVHi,
Define the following attributes, using the F4 input help and F1 field help:
Report
Name of a registered program for this program type
Variant
You can only specify a variant with programs that are started directly.
With direct input, data from the data transfer file undergoes the same checks as with the online transaction and is then transferred directly into the SAP System. The database is updated directly with the transferred data.
For the documentation of other transactions please refer the correponding program documentation..which is more helpful,

Master data Uploading using QTP
Can any one explain detail about QTP master data uploading.If possible send me the materials abt QTP uploding.
Hi
You won't get ready made template.
You have to prepare the layout according to your requirements.
First check it with the business requirements, and make note of the details and find the relevant fields in the relevant tables of the master data.
Prepare the layout as below:
Say your doing for the Chart of accounts load - Table is SKA1 - take the important fields technical name, character type and length of the field. Enter the data and save it in the desired format.

Function module Vs BDC for master data upload
Hi ,
Please advice we should use the following function modules for master data upload or we should go for BDC.
MP_RFC_SINGLE_CREATE
MP_RFC_INACT_CHANGE
MPLAN_CREATE
MPLAN_CHANGE
MPLAN_SET_DELETION_INDICATOR
ASSET_MASTERRECORD_MAINTENANCE
MPLAN_ITEM_CREATE
MPLAN_ITEM_CHANGE
GL_ACCT_MASTER_SAVE
GL_ACCT_MASTER_SAVE
GL_ACCT_MASTER_SAVE
Actually, we have already used these function modules in our upload program, but we are not sure if these function modules will create any data inconsistency.
Please let me know, if we should continue using the FMs, or there is any risk using the FMs and we should replace them by BDC.
Thanks in advance.HI Vikram,
Better to serch for the BAPI for uploading the master data.Becuase we have problems with BDC and FM's.
If you use FM's it does n't contain all the fields which you want.IF you go for BDC this is not maintainable for future releaseas.IF you upgrade then screen may change.
IF don' have any BAPI then better go for BDC.

LSMW used only for master data upload?
Hi
Can you please let me know if LSMW is used only for master data upload or we can also use it for transaction data ?Hi Christino.
I have come across a standard SDN thread which deals with the uploading master data, refer it:
[SDN Reference for uploading master data using LSMW|how can we upload master data by using LSMW;
[SDN reference for which uploading is preferred (Master data or Transaction data)|Which one is better for uploading data LSMW or ECATT ?;
Good Luck & Regards.

What else do I need for ES Bundle HCM Master data
Hi
This may be a silly question but i'm chasing my tail a little here.
I need to see the services described in the es workplace for HCM master data ES bundle. I am under the impression that if I have the appropriate Enhancement pack installed in my SAP ERP system then I should have access already to these services.
The Enterprise extension EA-HR is active. We are on EHP4 for SAP ERP yet I cannot see any of the services described using SOAMANAGER or SICF.
Have I missed the point completely or is there a businees function or something else that needs activating before I xcan see these services?
Thanks
MarkThanks
Specifically I was after service operation EmployeeBasicDataByEmployeeQueryResponse_In which is defined as
Software Component Version ESA ECC-SE 604
Namespace http://sap.com/xi/EA-HR/SE/Global
Direction inbound
Mode synchronous
It belongs to service interface Manage Employee In
I would assume that I would see this in SICF.
I have loaded EA-HR XI Content for 7.0 and see specific async service interfaces defined there but not the one above
Thanks
Mark
