Mapping also done.
In the excel sheet or notepad, how the fields should be ordered.?
I just need to know the file format which should be specified in the specify file.
can anyone give the fields and length that i should create in the excel file or notepad?
Points will be awarded.
Regardss,
Vinoth.

Hi,
Field should be ordered as per the source structure of your own.
In header you can have unique data (strictly) and one more file of item whch will be having correpsonding data for header records.
Length is as per the Data Element.
Reward if useful!

Hi vasu
I have encountered the same problem with material BOM creation.
The reason you get this message is probably because you didn't define correctly the identification field in the source structures.
In step 'Maintain source fields' you should define the first field of every structure as identification field by creating char field of length 1. Then from the tree view of source fields, double click this field (in change mode) and give appropriate value in field 'Identifying Field Content', meaning 1 for header structure, 2 for items structure etc.
This should fix the problem.
Best regards

Hi madhu,
check the step where you assign the source structure in the LSMW and check whether it is in accordance with your flat file field sequence. I think that is cause for your error.

Difference between lsmw using BAPI & lsmw using IDOC?

HI everybody
can anybody tell me difference between lsmw using BAPI & lsmw using IDOC?

IDocs and BAPI are very different, so it should be easy to choose between them depending on your requirements.
IDOCS
Advantages
System can work even if target system not always online. The IDoc will be created and sending will just continue once you get connected to the other system.
No additional programming required. You just need to set up the configuration.
Disadvantages
Receipt/processing on the target system may not be immediate.
The sending system has no way to know whether the target system actually received what you sent (unless you use ALE).
If there is no SAP standard IDoc available for your requirement, it's harder to create a customized IDoc than a customized BAPI.
BAPIS
Advantages
You can tell if your sending was successful or not
Sending to/processing on the other side is immediate
Easier to create your own BAPI than your own IDoc
Disadvantages
Will only work if you have an active online connection.
Some programming required to call the BAPI.
Others interface methods you might also want to consider are ALE and RFCs.

Lsmw using bapi's

hi all,
Can any body provide the code to upload purchase order data using bapis in lsmw.urgent pls...
thanks.
assad

BAPIs are normally called synchronously in order to get feedback immediately.A synchronous call will only work if the system we want to access is up and running.For some purposes like data transfer, SAP wanted BAPIs to invoke asynchronously so that the calling application could proceed even if the remote system was currently unavailable.
Hence these BAPIs are linked to ALE (Application Linking and Enabling),an asynchronous message passing mechanism with guaranteed delivery.ALE uses Idocs as the containers for messages. Idocs are instances of Idocs types, which in turn are associated ALE message types
SAP has provided a generator which takes a BAPI and generates an appropriate ALE message type and an associated Idoc type.
Data stored in a file by means of the IDoc technique is generally imported in two steps. You can call these steps in LSM Workbench:
Start IDoc creation.
First, the file of the converted data is read. The "information packages" contained are stored in the R/3 database in IDoc format. It is, however, not stored in the database of the corresponding application. The system assigns a number to every IDoc. Then the file of the converted data is deleted.
Start IDoc processing.
The IDocs created in the first step are submitted to the corresponding application program. This application program checks the data and posts it in the applications database, if applicable.

Using Adobe Bridge file structure with iPhoto (latest version)

I use Adobe Bridge and have all my pics in named folders in Pictures/PICS/Folder Names. Inside the PICS folder is the iPhoto Library (only a few pics in it). Is there any way I can use the file structure I have set up with Bridge and iPhoto (latest) simultaneously? I really dont want to import (copy) all my pics into IPhot because I am pretty sure I will end up with two versions of each. I havent been able to manage pics manually the way I like to in older versions of iPhoto.

Here's some info to help you setup Photoshop for use with iPhoto:
Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Note 1: screenshots are from PSE 10
Note: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

LSMW using BAPI

why we have to create PARTNER PROFILE while using BAPI in LSMW , and what is the correct way to create that

Hi
Partner Profile creation is not linked with LSMW or BAPI
it is linked with ALE,EDI, IDOC
we create partner profiles using WE20 tcode
and we define Inbound, Outbound paramters related to Idoc data transmission

LSMW using BAPI method for ME21N

Hi to all,
I am using LSMW BAPI method for the transaction ME21N Iam able to post a PO document successfully, But in my flat file I have a header and followed by item in the same line, while I was posting with same header for different line items its posting different PO's for different line items but suppose it has to post one document with multiple items.
My flat file fields are like this : (where as ABCD my header and rest are line items) I am using only one structure 'podata' in LSMW and I am not using any identifier.
header--Line items
A B C D S P Q W E X
A B C D 1 D 3 F K L
Business Object -     BUS2012
Method                -    CREATEFROMDATA1
Message Type    -    PORDCR1
Basic Type         -     PORDCR101
As per my requirement if I have multiple line items for the same header then only one PO should be posted.
Could you suggest me, How can I achieve this.
Thanks,
Lahari

Hi Jurgen,
Thanks for your reply.
As poer your suggestion, I passed my flat file data into a single file and in the begin of transaction, I divided the data into 2 structures as Header & Item.
Still I am unable to achieve the desired results, can you please elaborate more on how SAP internally joins the structures again.
To be more clear my flat file data look like this :
217836     NB     1826162667     0127     00   1     LEAN SIX SIGMA PRIMER     MRO     Z     4.00     EA     60.00     1     EA
217836     NB     1826162667     0127     00     2     LEAN SIX SIGMA PRIMER     MRO     Z     4.00     EA     860.00     1     EA
217836     NB     1826162668     0127     00     1     LEAN SIX SIGMA PRIMER     MRO     Z     4.00     EA     160.00     1     EA
217836     NB     1826162668     0127     00     2     LEAN SIX SIGMA PRIMER     MRO     Z     4.00     EA     560.00     1     EA
The bold ones being header and the remaining Items, the underlined field is PO number.
In normal process this file is considered to have 4 records, and tries to create 4 PO's.But my requirement is to create only 2 PO's with 2 items each.
Thanks.

LSMW using one data file, via Direct input

Hi All,
I have to perform the below LSMW with Direct method only.
We have only one data file with one row containging header and item data. i.e. each row from data file will create one header record and item records.
Each row will have some columns corresponding to header data and some corresponding to Item data.
Now the problem is:
In the data file, we will get one record/line, but we need to create 2 or more items/lines for the same line(of data file).
Letu2019s say: we get this record in the extract:
16 1256 AB 67999 C
When we map this record to SAP structures we will have:
BBKPF u2013 Header
BBSEG u2013 1st Item, we can map this
BBSEG u2013 2nd Item, we need to create this second item structure programmatically. how to do this ???? any idea
Regards,
Pankaj

Edited by: Thomas Zloch on Jul 1, 2011 10:48 AM

Data file will be some what like:
Col1 Col2 Col3 Col4 Col5 Col6     [just an example]
Where, Col1 =, Col2 and Col6 are for header data and Col3 and Col4 for Item data. Based on header data value on Col2 we have to create multiple Items.
e.g. If Col2 is inbetween 0 to 100, then Create only 1 Item
       If Col2 is inbetween 101 to 1000, then Create 2 Items
       If Col2 is iabove 1000, then Create only 3 Items
There is another logic (Based on some other Header fields) to fill different values for different Items
Hope this expalins the scenerio.

Pankaj
