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.

Upload Master Data GL quicker way instead of using FS00?
Hi Guys
I would like some advice regarding uploading Master data into SAP
As part of my training course we are having to upload live data onto SAP and our trainer has suggested using SM35 and to click new recording then typing FS00 in transaction code and then we put our details for one transaction and then the recording should suffice.
I do not want to manually type them all in using FS00 even though it is only 40 GLs as I want to practice LSMW
Also I have been told of a another way by typing in SA38 then RFBISA00. I have tried this however getting error message Message no. BL001
I know this may sound stupid but the Excel file is saved in a text format do I keep the headers and the rows where it says required or not. Or do I just copy the raw data?
Thanks guys
MDHello,
To get best answers, you will have to post the question in ABAP Data Transfer Forum.
For LSMW, you may be refer the link [LSMW|http://www.****************/Tutorials/LSMW/LSMWMainPage.htm]
This will provide details step by step document on how to use LSMW.

ECATT Use for upload master data
Hi
Please Guide me how to use ECATT , when we Upload the Master data in SAP Best Practice ,not in SAP R/3 ( note : for SAP Best Practice system only) through ECATT.
Can anybody have any idea about this
Guide me
Regards
RoobalECATT can be used by using transaction code SECATT.
This tool is used for data uploading and regression testing.
You need to prepare a scenario for regression testing.
You should create
1. Test Script
2. Test Data
3. Test Configuration.
If you want to upload master data, LSMW is the best tool.

hi
for uploading master data (ex: customerd data) into sap, which methods we prefer
(call transaction/ session/ LSMW) . why?depends on how much data you want to upload..
LSMW itself will give you multiple options to load data.
if there is a huge number of records that you want to upload, do not go for a call transaction method, rather use sessions method if you want to use BDCs. explore in LSMW that which options are available for customer data while uploading it. -

UPLOAD MASTER DATA FROM SAP GL TO ACCOUNT DIMENSION
hi
how can i upload master data (chart of account) from BW 0GL account info object to BPC Account Dimension ?
how can i upload the hierarchy, there is no hierarchy in ECC for the chart of accountSAP offers free content + documentation in the form of rapid-deployment solutions (RDS).
In the Extended Financial Planning Rapid-deployment solution, there is a module called G/L Financial Planning which includes the full load of SAP-based account dimension from SAP ERP to BPC via BW. This content introduces BPC-based Package Links as a best practice way to load master data (including the account hierarchy and transaction data). You can download the content and documentation from the highlighted page above or HERE.
SAP also offers free training on the EPM rapid-deployment solutions in the EPM RDS Academy 2015 on SAP JAM. If the link to the Academy does not work, please register HERE and SAP will invite you. -
Error while uploading master data attributes thru flat file
while uploading master data attributes thru flat file i am facing the below errow. can nyone let me know plz.
Error 8 when compiling the upload program: row 227, message: Data type /BIC/CCDEIO_MAT5_ATTR was found in a newThis just means that you changed the transfer rules/transfer structure and have not refreshed the workbench yet. The infopackage data hasn't been updated ... this is similar to a datasource update, where you need to replicate to make sure BW knows the latest version.
The best way to correct this error is to reload RSA1. Every time I make a change to the tr/ts, I always run /nrsa1 to refresh the workbench.

Hi Gurus,
How we can upload Master Data?
Which extraction process can be used for Master Data? Can we upload master data from R/3? I can upload MD from flat files. But need a reallife scenario.
In a project, how master data is loaded and how transactional data is loaded in general? Which Extraction processes are most popular for both master and transactional data?
Can anyone help me explaining the activities carried out in a project lifecycle?
Like when we create InfoObj, DS,IS,Infocube etc... when and how to load data into it etc etc...
Points for sure.
Thanks,Hi sap bw,
Yes you can upload data from r/3 ..
The big picture for it, you need to create the master data in BW including trans. stru, trans. rules, data source for it's attributes.
For the r/3 you need to create the data source.
For the detail:
1. Create data source in r/3.
tcode: rso2
create data source for master data using that tcode.
2. Create master data in BW.
replicate the data source (right-click in source system at RSA1 => choose for replicate metadata).
Create trans. stru, trans. rules to the attributes. Make a mapping using those things.
Btw, if you need the text, you can do below steps but for TEXT (tcode RSO2, there is for TEXT).
Hopefully it can help you a lot ..
Regards,
Niel

Problems with uploading master data in BI 2004S
Hi all,
I wanna upload master data in FI from R/3 System to BI System. I created its <b>transformation</b>. Then, I <b>migrated</b> it WITH EXPORT option. After that, I created <b>Data Transfer Process</b> (DTP), I didn't change any thing, just "Save and Active". Then I created <b>InfoPackage</b> for it => choose Schedule tab and press Start. Open DTP and choose Execute tab -> press Execute.
1. In the case of successful process (the log showed no errors), How can we check that data is transferred successfully?
2. <b><u>Case 2:</u></b> I did all above steps for a data source. But when I opened InfoPackage -> it said <b>"This InfoPackage has been already in Process Chain"</b>... I still continued to execute its DTP but I failed. The log said that the data was duplicated.
What does it mean? And what should I do in this case?
3. <b><u>Case 3</u></b>: I have a data souce Account Type with <0ACCT_TYPE_TEXT> (icon dialog). I migrated it but failed. Then, after I refreshed, this datasource moved to the group that had been migrated before (in the end of the tree) but <0ACC_TYPE_TEXT> disappeared.
So, I cannot create DTP or InfoPackage for it to transfer. In this case, Do I have to re-create a DataSource? What should I do?
Thanks in advance.case 1:
Check there might be duplicate record. as it is a text datasource language may be maintained. U can check in monitor what record is showing error.
case 2:
If u migrate the data source then it is a BI7.0 version.
If u want to recover 3.x datasource then u need to use RSDS .
Then again u can create Data Transaformation and DTP and migrate once again.
then load the data.
Normally if u r working on BI7.0 do all the stuffs(DT, DTP) using 3.X version then do the migration of datasource else if u migrate first and do the transformation then u will have to manual mapping and u may missed and do a lot of mistakes.
Thanks,

Dayakar Reddy.Hi
1 activate 0Material from R3 side this datasource corresponds has the extract.struct. BIW_MARA_S correponding to material master data (what you need)
2 install 0Material from business content
3 replicate in BW
4 assign your datasource 0material_attr to the infosource 0material_Attr if flexible or create an infosource with direct update
5 activate transfer rules (if flexible)
6 create update rules from 0material to your infosource (if flexible)
7 create an Infopackage, launch the job and check the monitor to see if the upload works.

Problem while uploading master data through two files
Hi all,
When i try to upload master data of CUSTOMER with two files , Attribute and Text.
Text gets uploaded perfectly.
for Attribute, the data upload is done and psa i can see the exact data. But when i check the CUSTOMER object, i am not able to find the actually Attributs data. Instead those colmns are filed with 'E'.
Can anybdy please explain me wheret the problem is.
Thanks..Hi Sun,
First check the data in PSA whether the records are fine or any discrepancy in them. Also check the properties of the COSTUMER object into which you are loading. The properties "type" or the "size" of the object may not be matching with the same in the file.
Check them and try to load once again.
Hope this helps u...
