Help required-LSMW.

Hi,
My requirement is that I will get a flat file in which one of the fields will be with 26 digits... I am using transaction KS01... So for the cost center creation the criteria is that I need to concatenate the company code, the 7-11 digits (of the 26 digit field) & zero '0'... I am able to do this for the first record ... but I am not able to get the same for the second record... the logic that i have written is as follows:-
in the field mapping step under the cost center I written the following ABAP code.
DATA : V_BUKRS LIKE CSKS-BUKRS.
SELECT BUKRS
INTO V_BUKRS
FROM CSKS
WHERE KOKRS = SOURCE-CONTROLLING_AREA.
CONCATENATE V_BUKRS
            SOURCE-26DIGIT_CTCTR+6(5)
            '0'
      INTO TARGET-KOSTL.
ENDSELECT.
How do I debug this program in LSMW??
Your help is appreciated.
-Seema.

Hi Seema,
When you are in the initial screen of LSMW for the object(with all the radio-buttons), click on the 'Personal Menu' push button and select the checkbox for 'Display Conversion Program.'. Then you can simply select that action and put a break-point in the code section and debug it.
But if I may comment, just based on the code piece given here, your 'SELECT statement may not be returning any records for your second record.
Is your SOURCE-CONTROLLING_AREA field similar to CSKS-KOKRS? Otherwise a select like this might not return any values.
Also, there is a potential for multiple records to be fetched from CSKS since you are passing only partial key. So, essentially you are moving your concatenated value into the TARGET-KOSTL based on your last record from that select.
What is your requirement with regards to the BUKRS? Is it that you need to create cost centers for all BUKRS assigned to a given controlling area on the file?
Please let us know.

BAPI's Business object not found in the search help of LSMW.

Hi,
I am loading Open sales contracts using LSMW BAPI method.
The business object for this is BUS2034 and the FM is BAPI_CONTRACT_CREATEFROMDATA.
But when i am selecting the Business object in LSMW, it is not appeared in the search help.
Is there any way to add the required Business object, Function module in LSMW manually?
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Vishnu..

Have checked the entries in table TBDBA (BAPI ALE mapping) for this BO ? If this is not available, you may have generate "ALE interface for BAPI" using Transaction code BDBG.
P.S. See the code written in FM "/SAPDMC/LSM_F4_BUSOBJ" (Search help for BO) and read reference to table TBDBA in line number 54.

Need help with LSMW fro specific case

Hello,
I am going to create project on lsmw for data migration from legacy system. In this specific case it is not just migration of the data to SAP system but its processing the data an dthen creating objects in SAP system. Hence its very perfomarmace critical.
I amn using Idoc and BAPI in lsmw.
My question how to improve performance here .
My options:
1. Call the API(which is processing the data) in side the BAPI with new task for each independent set.
2. No need of (1) if I am doing parallel processing in step idoc processing. Here lsmw itself provides parallel processing of Idoc.
3. Use FPP . but since FPP can be integrated only for data in database, I would need to first store the incoming data in a temp tables and then call API in FPP run where API reads data from temp tables .
Can you please suggest from your experience which is the best technique to improve the perfromance in this situation ?

Hello Suresh,
Thank you so much for resply.
My proiblem with lsmw is that I cannot call API in background job but it wil run in dialog process.
That was one reason to think of storing it temporarily and tehn processing it in FPP.
But just today I came across what is called as data transfer workbench help document where it says that you can process job in background . Can anyone confirm this ?
If yes then my next question is how to enable parallel processing using workbench

Hi vasu
I have encountered the same problem with material BOM creation.
The reason you get this message is probably because you didn't define correctly the identification field in the source structures.
In step 'Maintain source fields' you should define the first field of every structure as identification field by creating char field of length 1. Then from the tree view of source fields, double click this field (in change mode) and give appropriate value in field 'Identifying Field Content', meaning 1 for header structure, 2 for items structure etc.
This should fix the problem.
Best regards

Help on LSMW for extending materials to storage location

Hi Friends,
Please guide me with steps in LSMW to extend material master data to different storage location with same plant using tcode MMSC.
Thanks in advance
Smitha

You should not do LSMW on MMSC, this does not make much sense.
Use standard given mateial master import procedures, like BAPI, which is the easiest procedure to create just one view.
By the way, you can do it easily with MM17, except you have to maintain individual values líke bin description.

Need help in LSMW

Hi,
While I am doing LSMW for FB01 transaction, in step "Display Converted Data" it is giving special character for empyt field is '/'. Can any one tell me, what should be done to keep empty field as blank.
Regards,
Sandesh.

Hi Sanjay,
Your LSMW is using a batch input for transaction FB01.
In batch input it is sometimes necessary to leave out some field on the screen your processing.
In your input file sometimes fields can be filled and sometimes not.
The question is what to do with those fields:
1. Should the field on the screen be made empty
2. Should the default value on the screen be kept.
For purpose 2 you can a special character in your input file (/).
This will indicate to the LSMW program that generates the batch input session that this field should not be used/filled.
In this way you can preserve default values without overwiting them with blank values.
Hope this was helpfull.

Arjan Aalbers

Hi madhu,
check the step where you assign the source structure in the LSMW and check whether it is in accordance with your flat file field sequence. I think that is cause for your error.
Reward points if useful.

LSMW- while convertin data

hi ,
In LSMW....while i am using the radio button convert data i get this error.
I had five fields all of type C. various lengths like 18,1,4,30,7.
This is the error i get saying line 68. How can I rectify.
For type "C", a maximum length specification of 65535 is allowed.
Plz help.

In LSMW, where you see all the radiobuttons, go to the menu, 'Extras-->User Menu' and select the checkbox for 'Display Conversion Program'. Press the green OK icon and you should now see an additional radiobutton for 'Display Conversion Program'. Double click on that and you will see the program that does the conversion. Put a breakpoint in there at line 68 and see why the error is coming.

SA Creation using LSMW BAPI BUS2013

Hi,
We have requirement for uploading open SA in to ECC and would need your help in LSMW, after analyzing I think best option to upload / create open SA is using BAPI method of LSMW as there is standard BAPI available BUS2013. But I have never used this method before though I am well aware of recording method of LSMW. Please let me know how to proceed on LSMW using standardd BAPI.
Step1- Maintain Object Attributes is done -
BUS2013
CREATE
PURSAG_CREATE
PURSAG_CREATE01
Step2- Maintain Source Structure -
Do we need to create 2 different structures here i.e. One for Header and One for item? If yes is it going to be at same level or lower level?
Also need help for next 4 steps.
Thanks
Vihaan

                  SA Creation - TEST C:\Users\XME31L.txt
           ITEMDATA SA Item Data
Here I would like to know how to create file considering above structure, do I need to create a single file with Header and Item fields in that? if Yes, then how to place it on excel - (like first row header column fields, second row - header field values and then in third row Item coloumn fields and 4th row item values)
OR I need to create two different files one for header fields and one for item fields and then aissgn them to HDATA and IDATA respectively?if Yes, then I am not able to aissgn file to IDATA as it gives error saying "File XME31L.txt can only be assigned to one source structure.
Please help me here
Thanks
