Lsmw to upload master data

Hi,
if we want to upload master data for example customer master data,vendor master data and material master data.
then which one is the best method lsmw or BDC ?
if we use lsmw then we need to use recording or direct input program.
what will be the volume of data when we used lsmw for master data.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Jigar

Hi,
The basis for deciding which method to upload the master data can be considered on the following:
1. Customer Requirement.
2. Volume of the data.
3. How much effort is required.
4. Whether error handling is to be done explicitly or automatically.
The most preference order as follows:
1. LSMW
Latest tool and less effort/coding is required. It covers all the methods.
- by standard Batch/ Direct input,
- by Batch Input Recording,
- by Buisness Object Method , and
- IDoc ( Intermidiate Document) .
2. BAPI
BAPI is an abbreviation used for Business Application Programming Interface. These are interfaces within the business framework to link SAP components to one another and SAP components with third-party components.
The SAP Business Objects are an essential part of the Business Framework and the prerequisites for interoperability. SAP Business Objects cover a broad range of R/3 business data and processes and can be accessed using BAPIs. The SAP Business Objects and their BAPIs thus provide an object-oriented view of R/3 business functionality.
3. BDC
It can be done in two ways:
a) Session - it handles error implicitly .
Transaction: error handling is explicit.
b) Call transaction is 6 times faster than session .
c) Session can handle multiple transactions while, call transaction can handle one transaction at a time.
d) Session method is used to handle basically very lage amount of data .
What will be the volume of data when we used lsmw for master data.
It depends on the company master data volume in their legacy systems. LSMW can handle huge volume data.
Hope this will help.

Please send detail steps for uploading legacy data

Hi friends,
please send detail steps for uploading legacy data
Thanking u in advance,

HI U CAN USE LSMW TO UPLOAD LEGACY DATA
LSMW is used for migrating data from a legacy system to SAP system, or from one SAP system to another.
Apart from standard batch/direct input and recordings, BAPI and IDocs are available as additional import methods for processing the legacy data.
The LSMW comprises the following main steps:
Read data (legacy data in spreadsheet tables and/or sequential files).
Convert data (from the source into the target format).
Import data (to the database used by the R/3 application.
But, before these steps, you need to perform following steps :
Define source structure : structure of data in the source file.
Define target structure : structure of SAP that receives data.
Field mapping: Mapping between the source and target structure with conversions, if any.
Specify file: location of the source file
Of all the methods used for data migration like BDC, LSMW , Call Transaction which one is used most of the time?
How is the decision made which method should be followed? What is the procedure followed for this analysis?
All the 3 methods are used to migrate data. Selection of these methods depends on the scenario, amount of data need to transfer. LSMW is a ready tool provided by SAP and you have to follow some 17 steps to migrate master data. While in BDCs Session method is the better choice because of some advantages over call transaction. But call transaction is also very useful to do immediate updation of small amout of data. (In call transaction developer has to handle errors).
SO Bottom line is make choice of these methods based of real time requirements.
These methods are chosen completely based on situation you are in. Direct input method is not available for all scenario, else, they are the simplest ones. In batch input method ,you need to do recording for the transaction concerned. Similarly, IDoc, and BAPI are there, and use of these need to be decided based on the requirement.
Try to go through the some material on these four methods, and implement them. You will then have a fair idea about when to use which.
LSMW Steps For Data Migration
How to develop a lsmw for data migration for va01 or xk01 transaction?
You can create lsmw for data migration as follows (using session method):
Example for xk01 (create vendor)
Initially there will be 20 steps but after processing 1 step it will reduced to 14 for session method.
1. TCode : LSMW.
2. Enter Project name, sub project name and object name.
    Execute.
3. Maintain object attributes.
    Execute
    select Batch Input recording
    goto->Recording overview
    create
    recording name.
    enter transaction code.
    start recording
    do recording as per ur choice.
    save + back.
    enter recording name in lsmw screen.
    save + back
Now there will be 14 steps.
2. MAINTAIN SOURCE STRUCTURES.
    Here you have to enter the name of internal table.
    display change
    create
    save + back
3. MAINTAIN SOURCE FIELDS.
    display change
    select structure
    source_fields->copy fields.
    a dialogue window will come .
    select -> from data file
    apply source fields
    enter No. of fields
    length of fields
    attach file
    save + back
4. MAINTAIN STRUCTURE RELATIONS
    display change
    save + back
5. MAINTAN FIELD MAPPING & CONVERSION RULE
    display change
    click on source field, select exact field from structue and enter
    repeat these steps for all fields.
    save+back
6. MAINTAIN FIXED VALUES, TRANSACTION, USER DEFINED
    execute
    save + back
7. SPECIFY FILES.
    display change
    click on legacy data
    attah flat file
    give description
    select tabulatore
    enter
    save + back

LSMW to upload data using PA40 (Hiring Action)

Hi All
I have a requirement to upload the data in Actions (Infotype 0000) & Org.Assignment (Infotype 0001) using PA40.
For More information : I have to use the Action type = Hiring , this infogroup has 8 infotypes in a sequence as mentioned below .
1 . 0000
2. 0002
3. 0001
4. 0006
5. 0007
6. 0008
7. 0009
8. 0015
Now to upload the Actions & Org.Assignment data in need only the 0000 & 0001 infotypes .
Now the problem is while recording , once i enter the 0000 Infotype data & save . It goes to the 0002 (which i dont have to upload now).
Now my question is can i skip infotype 0002 while recording ??
After skipping i will enter the 0001 infotype (which is next in a sequence mentioned above) & save it .
After saving it goes to the 0006 (which follows the 0001 in a sequence mentioned above) .
As i dont want to enter the 0006 data now i will come out of it . Now the recording is complete . up to last step in lsmw
"Run Batch Input session " it is working fine .
But when i execute the Batch Input session , I am getting the error "No batch input data for screen SAPMP50A 2000"
Pls let me know the solution for this . Thanks in advance

Hi,
As suggested by experts here, create a new action for data upload with only IT0000 / IT0001 for updation of record as in LSMW PA40 doesnt run properly if there are too many fields for updation. Once these 2 infotypes are uploaded, then you can upload the remaining infotypes individually.
Also pls remember that you use external number range for the Hiring Action through LSMW.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Upload the data using BAPI in LSMW

Hi
I want to upload the data using the BAPI in LSMW,but i dont know what value should be passed in
1- Business Object
2- Method
fields.
Ex- Suppose i want to upload the Material Master Data then what should be the value of these two fields.
Thanks
Mrutyunjaya Tripathy

Hi
Sorry to say that i am little bit confuse with your answer
1-The business object already contains some object name wheather i have to give object names or different,As you have mentioned to give the tcode than what tcode that would be
2-If i am giving any internal table name in the method field it is giving me error because this field is related to the business object field
Thanks

Dear Friends,

Hi
you have to open one more gl account for intial upload.
E.g. If you have the debit balance of Gl alc 50000 in legacy system, then the entry should be:
Dr 50000alc               $100
Cr initial Upload alc     $100.
if you want futher explaination let me know, i will explain in detail.

Dear Friends,
I have to upload the data more than 35 infotype employee hiring databut not threw BDC.I am trying to use the the FM(HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION,HR_MAINTAIN_MASTERDATA).Can we do it threw those FM.
Because in some infotype we have to use the subtypes and in some infotype we have grid also.
And where we specify the infotype no.suppose we have to insert data more than one infotypes.
kindly guide me by some example.
thanks
sandeep

Hi,
The below link explain about the procedure for creating a file for creating Organizational Structure - Objects like Organizational Units, Positions, Jobs, another file for creating Relationships and also files for upload of infotypes pertaining to the object.

Whether can we upload Trasactional data by using any method of LSMW or not?

Hey SDN's
Have you ever tried to upload data in Tcode 'FBCJ' (Csh Journal in FI) by using
LSMW.?
If you uploaded the data successfully, please let me know.
Because 'FBCJ' is for transactional data. so, Is it possible to upload any sort of transactional data by using LSMW?
Because I've been trying to upload the data but at 14th step it saying like ''There is no input field for the screen number 100''
please try to solve this problem.
thank you verymuch.
Regards,
Ali

Hi Ali,
1) We can use Transactional and master data in LSMW.
2) As of my understanding the error u r getting because of ( its guess try check this what i am telling -
> if ur using recording method, while recording if u have not recorded the field in a particular screen '100' and if u want to upload it by specifying in the input file, (in this case u can get this kind of error) and .
3) when u have done recording at that time the particular field is in change mode/input mode (we can enter the value) , but while uploading if that particular field is in gray mode/display mode(we cant enter value) in this case also it will show this kind of error.
so first check , by taking 2-3 records and run in foreground ,
and anlyze where exactly ur strucking if this is the case, do changes as per the need.
if this is not the case anything else excuse me and eloborate it .
Reward points if helpful
Thanks

LSMW - Upload customer data (KNA1)

Hi,
I'm trying to upload customer data from a legacy system using buisness object KNA1 and method CREATEFROMDATA1 (BAPI). At first I discovered that to be able to use business object KNA1 I had to generate an ALE interface in transaction BDBG.
My problem is that when I try to "Maintain Structure Relations" I get following error message:
No target structures could be found
Message no. /SAPDMC/LSMW_OBJ_030001
Shouldn't it be possible to do it this way?
I prefer to use the BAPI method compare to Batch input for following reasons:
- Better performance
- I don't have to think of screen sequences. For example can different account groups mean different screens.
Thanks for help,
Hans

Hans, did you ever come back to this problem and see if you could come up with a solution?
I am facing a similar problem while trying to upload Business Partners into our CRM system. Unfortunately for me, the batch input recording option is not viable, as that takes too long (~95 days to load our data, and can't be run in background). I have been told that I should look to use a BAPI, but am getting errors when trying to specify the field mapping.
Cheers,
Andrew

What is the method used for upload of data

Hi All,
What is the method used for upload of Data from excel spread sheets to SAP HR.
it is Bulk Data from many countries.LSMW or BDC Session Method?
what are country specific infotypes used for PA and OM.
can u plz give the list of country specific infotypes used for PA n OM Module.
Thanks
Archana

Hi Archana,
To Upload bulk data I think BDC is the best and effecient way.
Regarding Infotypes we dont have any country specific Infotypes in OM & PA. In Payroll we do have according to country wise.
I hope you had understood the point

Problem in customize infotype data for save

Hi experts,
specially for ABAP-hr guys.....Can u pls help me in providing me the correct solution for the below:
I had created the new infotype with table control now i have to save this table control value means list box value or check box value which is been inside the table control.How i save these values in the table .
Shall I have to write the query for Insert the data in infotype or some other way.Because if i take the only fields in the infotype insted of table control no need to write the query statement.
How can i achive this pls help me.
Thanks
sandeep

Hi,
Just remember one thing never ever fire any SQL query (Inset,Delete,Update) on infotypes it can cause havoc.
to maintain infotypes SAP has given few standard function modules. use HR-INFOTYPE-OPERATION to maintain infotype data.
you can also use BDCs and LSMWs to upload data as well but never a quey unless if u dnt have ne other options and u knw exact impacts of the same.

What is the Tcodes for Uploading of data using BDC & CATT

PP members:
I was going through the cutover activities , and what I understood is we transfer all the legacy system data into SAP before going live
The data upload follows certain steps (depends on the organizational design load strategies)
First we upload all the master data ( material master, BOM, W/C's & Routings)
Then the transaction data ( Ideally speaking, there should no open orders i.e. WIP as on the day of cutoff )
If the WIP (Work in Process) is unavoidable then the materials consumed shall be treated as materials of the previous stage and necessary adjustments shall be made after cutover day
At this point, I could not able to understand what does the author mean materials of the previous stage
Now comming to the uploading of data into SAP from legacy system, we use tools like LSMW, CATT & BDC
Is it a must to use only LSMW tool to upload master data or any other upload tools are fine
Lastly,. I am not sure about the Tcode of CATT & BDC
Summary of the questions:
1.What does the author mean material of previous stage, for WIP materials during cutover activities
2. Is it mandatory to use only LSMW tool for uploading for master data
3. What are the Tcodes for upload tools CATT & BDC ?
Thanks for your time
Suren R

Dear,
1.What does the author mean material of previous stage, for WIP materials during cutover activities - as i understood, what is the stage of material..like it must have gone through 2 work centers and other 2 is left. i.e. you need to create Production order with only 2 operation as other 2 is already over. - usually it is done in such a way that we will create Production order and confirm till 2 operations and WIp is calculated so thatb FI will tally the books in SAP and lagacy.
2. Is it mandatory to use only LSMW tool for uploading for master data - no you can use any tool as required and suits yr requirement
3. What are the Tcodes for upload tools CATT & BDC- BDC through a prog in SE38. CATT through - SCEM.

Problem to upload the data into internal table record length more than 6000

Hi all
I stuck with this problem from past 3 days. I have to upload the data from excel sheet. iam making it tab delimited and trying to upload from gui_upload. but in the structure of file, we have, one field of 4000 characters, and other fields of 255 characters.
how can i upload this into internal table . From excel sheet or from tab delimeted or any other format? or any special function module is there? while iam doing this its truncating the datat 255 characters and not uploading the other fields also...
can any one of you help me out. ASAP
thnks in advance

from one of the forum iam just pasting code which it is used in lsmw, try the same logic in ur code hope it can work.
you have to create multiple lines with do...enddo loop., like this:
(assuming excel_long_text-text is 924 characters long, 7 lines X 132 char)
__GLOBAL_DATA__
data: offset type i,
text_132(132) type c.
__BEGIN_OF_RECORD__ Before Using Conversion Rules
Rule : Default Settings Modified
Code: /sapdmc/ltxtl = init_/sapdmc/ltxtl.
CLEAR offset.
DO 7 TIMES.
text_132 = excel_long_text-text+offset(132).
offset = offset + 132.
__END_OF_RECORD__ After Using Conversion Rules
Rule : Default Settings Modified
Code: transfer_record.
ENDDO.
