LSMW used only for master data upload?

Hi
Can you please let me know if LSMW is used only for master data upload or we can also use it for transaction data ?

Hi Christino.
I have come across a standard SDN thread which deals with the uploading master data, refer it:
[SDN Reference for uploading master data using LSMW|how can we upload master data by using LSMW;
[SDN reference for which uploading is preferred (Master data or Transaction data)|Which one is better for uploading data LSMW or ECATT ?;
Good Luck & Regards.

  • Function module Vs BDC for master data upload

    Hi ,
    Please advice we should use the following function modules for master data upload or we should go for BDC.
    MP_RFC_SINGLE_CREATE
    MP_RFC_INACT_CHANGE
    MPLAN_CREATE
    MPLAN_CHANGE
    MPLAN_SET_DELETION_INDICATOR
    ASSET_MASTERRECORD_MAINTENANCE
    MPLAN_ITEM_CREATE
    MPLAN_ITEM_CHANGE
    GL_ACCT_MASTER_SAVE
    GL_ACCT_MASTER_SAVE
    GL_ACCT_MASTER_SAVE
    Actually, we have already used these function modules in our upload program, but we are not sure if these function modules will create any data inconsistency.
    Please let me know, if we should continue using the FMs, or there is any risk using the FMs and we should replace them by BDC.
    Thanks in advance.

    HI Vikram,
    Better to serch for the BAPI for uploading the master data.Becuase we have problems with BDC and FM's.
    If you use FM's it does n't contain all the fields which you want.IF you go for BDC this is not maintainable for future releaseas.IF you upgrade then screen may change.
    IF don' have any BAPI then better go for BDC.
    Thanks

  • Where Used List for Master Data Entries

    Hi folks,
    I am looking for a FM, method, etc. that gives me a list, that shows, where a certain master data entry of an InfoObject is used. The BW system makes this check implicitly, when trying to delete master data, but I couldn't get behind the logic yet.
    Anyone here with helpful hints?

    Hi Durgesh,
    Thank you for your answer!
    Unfortunately the two mentioned FMs are not helpful for me. I am looking for a where-used-list of master data entries, but not of InfoObjects. For example I am looking in which InfoCubes the measure pieces of InfoObject '0UNIT' is used.

  • Maintain number range interval for master data upload for existing employee

    Hi  Experts,
    1)I have the scenario to upload additional data for existing employees in PA. Employees are already existed in SAP HR , But additional Infotypes are required to maintain for those emploees
    2) I have the senario where i have to upload master data for new employees.
    Pls give the detailed description of how to maintain number range interval i.e. External or Internal for upload in both the above scenario. Do we have to maintain number range manually in master data record & then upload it Through BDC or LSMW?

    >

    Yes Mr. Patil...
    For existing employees
    you need to execute HIRING ACTION Through BDC with External number range. While recording you have to use atleast three infotype i.e. IT0000,IT0001,IT0002. In addition you can upload other infotype through PA30.
    For new employees
    While configuration you can create another number range as internal  for new hiring. and use NUMKR feature as well.
    Here I don't understand that why r u looking for upload process for new hiring, if it is not mass hiring. It should be day to day activities which would be done by user through PA40.

  • .CSV file for Master data upload in GRC PC

    Hi all,
    We want to upload some Master Data for GRC Process Controls 3.0. Since we do not have access to MDUG tool yet, and we have a demo planned soon, we decided to go with the approach of uploading some data using the program GRPCB_UPLOAD.
    So I uploaded a .csv file with the following structure and was able to create master data. But, the object name was not updated.
    Structure
    Object Type     
    Object ID     
    Infotype     
    Sub-type     
    Start     
    End     
    Object abbreviation     
    Object Name     
    Language
    In addition, for some objects, we'd like to update the other attributes with data too.
    Would anyone have the .csv format for such a detailed upload for Process / Sub process / Control?
    Regards,
    Preksha

    Hi all,
    First of all, thanks in advance, but I´ve  tried to upload a template similar to Preksha´s template but when I uploaded it through GRPCB_UPLOAD program it doesn´t work properly, because when I execute the background process, I´ll check its status and then it is cancelled .
    In addition, I follow the recomendations from the pdf called "Process Control Upload Master Data v1" released by RIG in June 2008, but in contrast I can´t upload the structure correctly.
    Do you have any idea? Or could you give me an idea which explains how to create a correct template? Do you have any clue of what I would have done wrong?
    Thanks a lot.
    Regards.

  • Xls. sheet for Master data upload

    Hi Can any body suggest me or send me the sample, how to maintain xls. sheet Template of  particular fields for Infotypes 0,1,2,7,8 etc for the purpose of data upload.
    <removed by Moderator>
    thanks
    S Mishra

    Hi Mishra,
    You can look into the Standard Business Blueprint Templates - Data Transfer Tool of SAP....and get an idea...
    Check this Note 1060029 - SAP Best Practices for HCM US - Variants, Misc, LSMW ...
    You will find files for infotypes and you can set up your templates based on these....
    Other way is to
    Go to SE11 >> Enter the Infotype Number PNNNN (with NNNN being the Infotype)...
    It presents you with the structure.......Copy that structure and you can create your excel sheet with that template....
    Good Luck !!!!

  • LSMW for master data

    Is LSMW used mainly for master data transfer? if yes, what can b the reason for this?
    About BDC, is it used both for master data, transaction data,right?

    Hi,
    The LSM Workbench is an R/3-based tool that supports You when transferring data from non-SAP
    systems ("Legacy Systems") to R/3 once or periodically.
    The tool supports conversion of data of the legacy system in a convenient way. The data can then be
    imported into the R/3 system via batch input, direct input, BAPIs or IDocs.
    Furthermore, the LSM Workbench provides a recording function that allows to generate a "data
    migration object" in an entry or change transaction.
    In LSMW have source and target field mapping. so that data should not be lost.

  • Why to use chnage  pointers for  master data idoc why not  the  change idoc

    Hi Gurus,
    I have  one doubt about  Idoc.
    When changes to master  data has to be sent Change pointers are configured and  used. (CDPOS & CDHDR). In case of  the  transaction data change change idoc  is  used as is the case with orders (we  use ORDCHG for  ORDERS message type to send  the  chnage details to a  order which was already sent to other system.
    Why we can't use  change  idoc or  message type whatever, instead of  Chnage pointers in case of  master data or  vice versa in case  of transaction data.
    Your valuable  input  will be rewarded with suitable  points!!
    -B S B.

    Hi,
    It was a good question ... SAP seems never designed the change pointer to handle transactional data IDocs. Only for master data IDocs distribution purposes.
    It may due to volume data ... the transactional data can change many times within a day compare with master data which hardly change or once a while.

  • Is LSMW tool only used to update master data??

    Hi experts,
    Is LSMW tool only used to update master data??i.e for updating material master,customer master etc.,
    or it can be used to updated configuration tables also.i.e when we do configuration a CTS is to be created.then how the CTS generation is handled.
    Can anyone plesae explain me in detail?
    Thanks in advance,
    Regards,
    N.Sreelatha

    Hi
    LSMW is used to transfer Legacy data from one system to another system.
    Obvioulsy Configuration objects should be transported through CTS only and not with LSMW .

  • Why we are not using "Message Control" for Master data ?

    Hi friends,
    We are using Message control as output determination for Transactional data, <b>what is the main reason for not using the msg control for Master data.</b>Please explain with details...
    I am very thankful to them...
    Thanks and Regards.
    <i><b>Naveen Kumar. Chamala</b></i>

    Hi Naveen,
       Listing down those I know -
       1. Master data is expected to be changed/created less frequestly.
       2. Transactional data is expected to be chnaged/created more frequestly.
       3. Transactions to create/change/display master data do no have message control integration, since you are not supposed to print/fax/mail master data to your partners.
       4. Distribution of master data in generally supposed to happen within Enterprise boundry and typically you will have one central server maintaining master data which will be distributed to multiple downstream operation system (Some thing where MDM fits). So ideally when distributing master data using ALE you will be sending it to multiple systems.
       5. Distributing transactional data PO/SO etc is same as sending fax/print which fits with the requirement of message control.
    Hope this helps,
    Regards,
