  • How to upload different views of customer master data using LSMW-IDOC

    I need to upload customer master data  using LSMW Idoc method for my client. Now customer will have different views like main view, Sales data, Company code data, Partner function data etc. And except main data all other data can be multiple for each customer. We are going to upload data from tab delimited .TXT file. Should I propose different LSMW for upload different views for the customer from different .TXT files? or we can upload all the customer related data (like main view data and partner function data )from a single .TXT file. Kindly suggest which one in convenient and how we can prepare the data file in both cases.

    convinient is the method that you can handle.
    but as the guy who loads the data you have to load the data like they are available, like it is convinient for others to prepare the data.
    In general there is no problem to use an IDOC method to load a customer master with multiple comany codes and several sales orgs in one shot.
    the data can be in one source file, but need then to be maintained in a certain way
    Example1: all data in 1 structure
    GD1 - CC1 - SO1
    GD1 - CC2 - SO2
    GD1 - CC2 - SO3
    in this case the GD (general data) is redundand in each line which has different Company code data or different Sales Org data
    Example2: all data in 3 sturcures but one file
    GD1
    .CC1
    .CC2
    ..SO1
    ..SO2
    ..SO3
    Example3: data delivered in 3 files - you join the files in LSMW, they must have a common identifier like the old customer number in the beginning of each file
    FILE General data:
    GD1
    GD2
    GD3
    file Compamy code data:
    CC1
    CC2
    CC3
    file Sales org data:
    SO1
    SO2
    SO3
    LSMW is flexible and can handle each of this scenarios, are you flexible too?

  • I am unable to upload the customer master data using BAPI.?

    Hi Guru's,
    i am unable to upload the customer master data using BAPI.(BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATEFROMDATA1)
    Please guide me how upload the data...
    Thanks in iadvance
    Srinivas...

    Hello Srinivas
    This BAPI does not allow to create a new customer from scratch but only to copy an existing customer to a new one and change its address data.
    The reference customer has to be provided using IMPORTING parameter PI_COPYREFERENCE. See also the BAPI documentation for more details.
    The BAPI does the same like transaction XD01 with Reference.

  • Export materials master data using LSMW?

    Hello gurus,
    is it possible to export material master data using LSMW? Or are there other ways to do this (apart from manually selecting the desired data from the DB tables?)
    It would be great if anyone could point me to some documentation on this.
    We would like to export the master data from one SAP system and import it in another one.
    Thanks in advance
    Alicia

    What I usually do is transferring the data via ALE (BD10) as IDOC to a file (instead of a different system). This file can even be located in an shared folder that can be accessed from both SAP systems
    Then I use LSMW in target system, map IDOC to IDOC (almost done automatically) and import the data from this file, and beeing able to exchange field values if necessary.

  • What is the difference of  customer master data  between CRM and ECC

    Dear all,
    We are helping  customer to  evaluate using CRM or ECC to manage there customer master data, focusing on the benefit of using CRM system.
    Can any one help to compare the difference between these two system?
    some tips in my mind are:
    1. CRM has a friendly user interface for user to adjust the layout, hide/display  favourite information according to actuall req.
    2. In CRM, user can change the field/assignment block description easilly
    3. in CRM7.0, user can add new customzing field easilly via AET
    4. CRM has a good any analysis platform to provide pie chart analytic
    5. CRM store more customer infor. than ECC, such as Marketing attribute, account classfication...anything else?
    any other benefit to use CRM for customer master data? Pls help!!!
    Thanks very much!!
    BR,
    Hedy

    I would agree with most of the topics you mentioned. Just one remark to topic number 5. Business partner doesn't have more data than erp. It has some more marketing oriented data, but on other hand doesn't have all finincial and credit data that are relevant for erp financial transactions.
    In our company we have the following scenario: all business partners are created in crm (because there the sales activities are started and because we don' clasify at the begining all partners as customers but as prospects. and of course it has nicer user interface). but when we are closing the deals (ordreds are transfered to erp), we fill some additional (financial) data of that partner on erp side and clasify partners as customers.

  • Initial full load of Master data using process chain

    Hi All,
    Could you please help me regarding, initial master data load to characteristics with attributes and text. I need to load master data to 23 info objects, by using process chain can I do full load of master data to all info objects at a time. And one more doubt is, as per my knowledge we can't maintain more than one variant in an info package, is that right ? or we can ?
    Means Start Variant -> Info Package (0Customer_Text, 0Customer_Attr,0BILL_TYPE_TEXT, BILL_CAT_TEXT) -> DTP ( ", ", ", ") -> ACR.
    Your Help will be appreciated.
    Thanks & Regards
    Sunil

    Hi,
    "I need to load master data to 23 info objects, by using process chain can I do full load of master data to all info objects at a time."
    if there is no dependency between attributes then you add you can create process chains and trigger them at a time. No issues.
    we can't maintain more than one variant in an info package, is that right ? or we can ?
    With one info pack you can't load data to all 23 psa. because each data source have own psa. you need to sue 23 info packs.
    in general start variant--> info pack --> dtp (assuming as your bw 7.x)---> attribute change run.
    like that you need to create 23 chains 
    Or create one two big chains.
    one is for attribute and another for text.
    In attribute
    start varaint--> info pack(info bject 1)--DTP(infoobject 1))--> info pack(infoo bject 2)-->dtp(infoobject 2).
    Like that way you can create in series and parallel chains to load attributes data into info objects. at end you add change run for 6 info objects each. SAme you can do for text loads also.
    Thanks

  • Problem in Customer Master Upload using LSMW

    Hi,
    I am using LSMW direct input method to upload customer master. I have used ZSOURCE structure as parent structure and for multilple entries like Bank details and contact details i have used other child structure like ZBANK and ZCONTACT. I am using separate flat file for Bank and contact details.
    I have used one common field 'ID' as the first field both on ZSOURCE, ZBANK and ZCONTACT structure to link-up. Thus, i am able to load multiple records for Bank data. But i am unable to get contact details.
    Also, value for Reconciliation account(KNB1-AKONT) and sales group(KNVV-VKGRP) is not passed to screen.
    I have checked 'Generate Read Program','Read Data', 'Generate Conversion Program' and 'Convert Data' step again and again. Upto step 'Display Converted Data', data is converted successfully, but the same field values are not passed to screen.
    Can you pls help me to get the value..

    Hi,
    LSMW will have a Indicator for headr and itam, i do not remember the correct field, but it will have an indicator, check the fields, there will be a single charecter lenght field, that should be the indicator, and using that we can write the logic.
    check that single charecter field, if that is X that means the header record is processed, and do the items.
    and, this is another way, try this out also
    YOu can do this in "Define Source Structures" step,
    the HEADER is defined first,
    then the DETAIL below the HEADER.
    add the fields to the structures.
    Both should have some common key field
    Please take care that the name of the common field is the same.
    Once you do this it is linked. The you have a header and item corresponding to that header. then run the LSMW as you would.

  • Uploading HR Master Data through LSMW or BDC

    I want to upload the HR Master Data to the system through LSMW or BDC, I am aware that for some infotypes like 000,1 &2 BDC is more suited, whereas for other infotypes LSMW is more convenient. I would like to understand how to start the activity. Should I start with infotype 0000 first and then 0001 and so on or can I take any infotype randomly and upload? What I mean is, is there any dependency that an infotype data can be loaded only after certain other related infotype data is loaded first? e.g. can load infotype 0006 first and then infotype 0001?
    Also please guide me on for which infotype LSMW is preferred and for which infotype BDC is preferred? Can BDC be used within LSMW?

  • Transferring MATERIAL MASTER DATA USING lsmw

    I am using LSMW to transfer material master data from text file using direct input program RMDATIND.  The problem is that the field WRKST in screen is of 48 characters while the batch data structure BMMH1 of field WRKST contains 14 characters. How can we transfer the full 48 characters in text file to THE FIELD BMMH1 IN DIRECT INPUT PROGRAM. Can we write any translation or routines . If yes, how is it possible. I can do the same using BDC but our client is already using the LSMW , only the new field WRKST for material has to be inserted. It is picking only 14 characters.
