  • How to upload price for a item in price list using DTW ?

    hi all,
    How to upload prices of all the items in price list using DTW ?
    What are templates used for it ?
    Item masters were already created.
    Jeyakanthan

    Hi
    Create two Excel templates 'Items.xls' and 'Items_Prices.xls'
    Since you have already imported items, just have the record key and item code alone in the 'Items.xls' . For example:
    RecordKey.......ItemCode
    1.......................I0001
    2.......................I0002
    In the Items_Prices template, Fill Pricelist Number fromOPLN and Price of the Item
    RecordKey....LineNum......Price
    1......................1..............350.00   (Means for Item I001, Pricelist 1 is updated with 350)
    1......................2..............300.00   (Means for Item I001, Pricelist 2 is updated with 300)
    2......................1..............550.00   (Means for Item I002, Pricelist 1 is updated with 550)
    2......................2..............600.00    (Means for Item I002, Pricelist 2 is updated with 600)
    In step 4 of DTW, Choose
    Check - Update Exisiting Object
    Uncheck - Import New Object
    This should update the pricelist alone for the items

  • How can i post opening balance b y useing DTW

    Dear friends,
    can any one help me out how can i transfer the opening balance's by useing DTW.
    regards,
    srikanth.

    Dear Srikanth,
    U can use the Journal Entry templates to import Opening Balances through DTW. You can use the opening balance suspense account as the off-setting account in the JE templates.
    For BP opening balanaces also, u can use the same JE template. Just put the customer code in the Account description and follow the regular steps.

  • DTW -How to use a Manual Series in PO

    Hi Experts
    I want to upload open purchase orders through DTW It is working fine if I choose a series. But In my case PO numbers are not sequence so I want to choose manual series in document numbering. For that I choose  -1 which it show when I select manual series. But when I import using DTW it gives message 'Record matching is not found'.  Please give your suggestions. What can be done If I want to enter Docnum as I want.
    Thanks
    Jitender

    Jitender,
    It is absolutely possible. The key is to set the HandWritten column to tYES and depending on the SAP version add the manual document number either in the DocNum or ManualNumber column (ManualNumber for the earlier versions and DocNum for newer ones, can't remember which is which so please try).
    I hope this helps.

  • Importing Legacy A/R and A/P Invoices using DTW

    Hi All,
    I have in interesteing situation which I need some help for.
    We started using SAP B1 begining of 2008. We used DTW to import the open A/P and A/R invoices from last year (legacy data). We didn't want the legacy data to have any impact on P&L, only to be able to receive and make payments for these invoices in B1. Therefore we used a service inovice without posting to the revenue and COS accounts. Since it is not possible to post directly to a control account I created a new G/L account for Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable (I called them AP Migrated and AR Migrated), which is not a control account.
    When preparing the DTW files, In the lines file I specfied the AccountCode as this AR and AP Migrated G/L accounts.
    Since the BP to whom these invoices relate to, have the A/P and A/R control account defined in the BP master data, each of these migrated invoices posted to the AP Migrated account with the Offset Account being the original A/P Control Account.
    Now that I am recording payments, the AP and AR accounts are being updated but not the AP and AR Migrated accounts. To illustrate: Let's suppose I migrated an AP invoice for $100. It posted to the AP Migrated account and the Offset Account being the AP Control Account. Now the balance on the AP Migrated Account shows $100, and the balance on the AP Control Account shows -$100. Now after I record the payment for this invoice the AP Control Account balance is $0, but the AP Migrated account still shows $100.
    How can this be rectified, and  is this the correct way of doing this?
    Many thanks,
    Myran

    Hi Suda,
    Once again, many thanks for your good and speedy replies.
    I am only importing the AR & AP transactions which I need to process payments in the new fiscal year. I am not importing all the other PL stuff.
    Am I better off using then a seperate GL account for the AP and a seperate one for AR?

  • Deletion of line items from Sales Order using DTW

    Hi Experts
    I have 160 sales which all require a particular item needs to be
    deleted before they can be processed further.  It is ths same item on every order but
    doesn't appear at the same row number.  In some cases it may appear more than once
    on an order.
    The line item needs to be deleted based on the row numbers which could be different on every order (LineNum)
    Rather than have admin go through them 1 by 1 and delete the
    row is it possible I can use DTW to perform an update on each row to delete it?
    I'm not sure how to do this since I have only ever used DTW
    to add or edit.
    Thanks
    Geoff

    Hi,
    1. It is not possible to delete records using DTW, only importing new records or updating existing ones are supported. These are the only valid operations via DTW.
    2. It is possible to delete the contents of an edit text field by using the character / or -1. However it is not possible to clear an entire row/line using this notation.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Upload of BP Data using DTW

    Hi,
    I tried to upload the BP data in one of the databases using DTW.
    I was able to upload the masters successfully but was not able to upload the bill to and ship to addresses for the BP data.
    Data which had special characters like , or  hyphen appeared with double quotes, how can this be corrected?
    Jyoti

    Yes, I am...
    Is there an issue with the address type field value...? 
    I have been using "bo_BillTo" for billing address and for Shipping addresses "bo_ShipTo"...is this correct...?
    I have also noticed that there are some values for which the "System Information" shows as exact input values, however the values or input required for those columns are completely different.
    For e.g. column called "VATStatus" in the BP template, there are two options available, "Liable" or "Exempt".
    The value to be inserted in this column for the former is "vliable" at the time of import...
    How can we determine what to input for the latter?
    Hope you understand my question...

  • Uploading A/R Service Invoices using DTW.

    HI ALL,
          I need to upload A/R service invoices for our customer using DTW. I tried using the templates Documents and Document Lines in Invoices for the same, but I am getting an error "Location Is Missing". Where do I put the location..?? I tried using the warehouse code column but the error persists.... am i using the correct templates..?? How do i Upload these Service Invoices...??
    Thanks and Regards,
    Pritesh.

    Hi Pritesh......
    Sometimes in SAP Default templates Location code fields does not come. You have to create another template from DTW.
    Just login to DTW  and go to templates. Click on Maintain Interface and select the Sales and Choose AR invoice. There Click on Document_Lines first again go to Tools and click on create template and save it somewher.
    In this template you get the location code field then put the location code here. And then try to upload.......

  • Upload 'Ship To' address in BP using DTW

    Hi,
    How do i upload the BP's ship to address using DTW? which template should i used? Is it Business Partner? if yes, in which column should i insert this? practically, most of my customers, the ship to addresses is the same as bill to address.
    Appreciate for your help.
    Thanks.
    Rgds,
    Harith

    Hello sir,
    Thanks for the info. Initially when i upload the bill to address in the BP database, there were several updated templates. So, if i use the BPAddresses to upload the ship to addresses, how the system know whether i upload the addresses to the correct BP? Does the record key of my earlier template should be the same as my new template (BPAddresses) ? In this case, since i have multiple templates which i update several time, might not be relevant. correct me if i'm wrong.
    Thanks.

  • Reciving goods receipt using DTW

    HI All,
    we want to receive 10,000 serialized items using goods receipt PO using dtw. did any one tried using DTW. can you help us out how to do it.

    Hello,
    It is depending from SAp b1 Patch level and version. To book GPRO it is not a problem. In Older versions  of b1 2007 (pl 46,49) it had a bug to SN and Batches: somehow if a bacth/SN was applied 2-3 times in a document, it has fallen.
    Now it is ok.
    You need 3 files:
    1. document header
    2. document lines
    3. SN-s for document lines referenced to the line position.

  • Import item stock quantities exported from previous application using DTW

    Hi
    I have a exported all the stock data (qty OnHand in all Warehouses) from the previous application that is replaced B1. I can not find a template which allows me to import these stock data using DTW. Stocktaking does not work since I don't have prices for these items.
    I just want to import all the quantities. How can I do that?
    Thanks
    Franz

    Franz
    You can still do it without the price using the StockTaking template.
    In the Stock Posting tab of Initial Quantities, Inventory Tracking, ... screen Check the box
    Allow Inbound Posting without Price
