Master data upload from legacy

Dear All,
We are supposed to upload the master data from legacy system to SAP using LSMW and BDCs.
Is it possible to develop an interface between legacy system and SAP ERP for a direct data transfer? Can this be accomplished using XI?
Is the scenario asked by my team as above recommended by SAP?
regards, Sean.

Yes I think u can use XI to create an interface to transfer data from legacy system to R/3 also u can use other middle ware like webmethods to do the same. U can use ALE/EDI technology to transfer data as idoc .

Cycle count dates upload from Legacy.

Hi,
In my client there is a requirement to upload the last count date from legacy to sap at the time of cutover. This they want as after inventory load they dont want to start counting everything which A kind of materials. Client is asking, since i have this date, so keep this date in SAP & then calculate the next date in SAP after go live from that date.
I searched all the places & found that since the field is internal i really cannot populate this. Is there any standard program or some how create one program to upload this date. If yes then plz let me know. If you had used this methodology, then kindly provide me the details.
Thanks in advance.

Create additional CC indicator with 'No of Physical Inv' as zero and use this one to maintain the materials that already undergone cycle counting before go-live. Also, have the CC indicator as fixed for these materiasl in material master -> Plant data. When you run ABC analysis (MIBC), these CC indicators won't be changed and as they 'No of Physical Inv' as zero, they won't be part of your cycle counting. When you need these materials to be part of cycle count, change the CC indicator as fixed and run MIBC, now system proposes the cc indicator based on consumption/usage.
Or
You can keep a block for the materials that already undergone cycle counting before go-live in MBEW-SPERW through transaction MM17 or MASS.

No master data upload from ECC to GTS

Hello together
today I have opened an OSS Note regarding a problem at our client side.
We implement SAP GTS 7.2 SP08 but I`m not able to upload any master data (customer and/or material) from ECC to GTS. This is my third implementation project. On both projects in the past, I didn`t had such a trouble with this topic in the past.
I searched the whole forum and tried every hint - everything without any success. ;-(
Unfortunately, the OSS Note is in German. But I hope that anyone could help me to find an solution. Thanks to all very much.
Here is the OSS Note:
Keine Initialüberleitung von Kunden- und Materialstämmen OSS-NOTE: 0000637481
Alle notwendigen Supportpackage-Stände für R/3, PlugIn und GTS sind eingespielt gemäss MasterGuide.
R/3 client:-

- Änderungszeiger global aktiviert
- Änderungszeiger korrekt eingestellt (siehe unten)
Customer master /SAPSLL/DEBMAS_SLL
Vendor master /SAPSLL/CREMAS_SLL
Material master /SAPSLL/MATMAS_SLL
- Ànderungszeiger den jeweiligen Funktionsbausteinen zugeordnet (siehe unten)

- RFC Destinationen korrekt eingestellt. Laufen sauber
- Methodenaufrufe korrekt eingestellt
- Partnermapping eingestellt
- Organisationsstrukturen angelegt und Buchungskreis bzw. Werken aus

Beispiel:
1. Kundenstamm im Vorsystem hat keine PLZ in den Stammdaten. Bei Übertragung nach GTS wird im GTS-System ein Überleitungsprotokoll erzeugt, mit dem Hinweis, dass Kunde nicht übertragen werden konnte aufgrund fehlender PLZ. Korrektes Systemverhalten.
2. Kundenstamm wurde entsprechend im Vorsystem gepflegt. Bei erneuter Übertragung wird angezeigt 0 von 1 Partner übertragen. Ein Überleitungsprotokoll in GTS wird nun nicht mehr erzeugt.
Auch unter Transaktion SLG1 wird im Vorsystem kein Anwendungs-Log
geschrieben. Ebenfalls gibt Transaktion SM58 keine Fehlerhinweise.

Hi Sameer,
thanks very much for your instructions. We created the variants and debugged it. Now fe found out, where the error occurs.
The call function for calling GTS "/SAPSLL/API_1006__SYNCH_MASS" gives us following message:
"Not just yet all adress numbers are collected."
Then on the other hand the SAP Basis suppors gaves us a possible solution. They told us:
The problem occurs, because the tables TBD24 and TBD62 are not filled correct.
Please use the following steps to correct this:
- Transaction BD53
- Select Message type (/SAPSLL/CREMAS_SLL, etc.), change mode
- Choose segment (mark an unmarked segemnt)
- save
- Delete the activated segment
- Activate change pointer
- in TA BD60 set up the function module correct (/SAPSLL/DEBMAS_DISTRIBUTE_R3)
The tables should filled correct after these steps. You can check it with report /SAPSLL/PLUGIN_CHECK_R3.
So I we went through these steps - but without any success. I`m getting crazy. ;-(
Regards,
Andreas

Pre-Check LSMW: To-Do-List Before Using the Tool
The LSM Workbench is a tool that supports the transfer of data from non-SAP systems to R/3. Basic functionality of the LSM Workbench:
1. Import old data from spreadsheet tables or sequential files.
2. Convert the data from source format into target format.
3. Import the data into R/3.
Before using the LSM Workbench, you need a concept for data migration. In particular, note the following items:
· Make sure that R/3 customizing is complete.
· Analyze the data existing in the legacy system to determine which data will be needed in the future (also from a business-operational point of view).
· Consider whether usage of the tool makes sense with regard to the data volumes to be transferred. In case of very small data quantities, it may be easier to carry out the transfer manually. With very large data volumes, however, batch input technology may lead to excessively long runtimes. Rough estimate for the required time: 10000 records per hour; this value, however, may vary strongly depending on the hardware.
· Identify the transaction(s) in R/3 you want to use for bringing the data into the SAP System. Here, it may also be relevant whether the data is required for statistical (evaluation) purposes or for further processing in the system.
· Test the relevant transaction in R/3 manually with test data from the old system and make sure that all required fields are filled. There may be required fields that do not correspond to any data window in the legacy system. In such a case, assigning a fixed value or defining the field as optional for data transfer may be appropriate.
· Check the interfaces provided by the application. Is there a batch input program and an IDoc (for example)? Which method should be used in your project?
· Develop a mapping plan in written form: Assign the legacy system fields to the R/3 fields.
· Determine the form (e.g. via u201EMOVEu201C or assigned according to a rule) in which the legacy system data shall be transferred to the SAP System.
· If applicable, define the allocation rules (LSM-internal name: u201Etranslation rulesu201C).
· Define the way for extracting the data from the legacy system. (Note: LSMW does not extract data.)
· Describe the form in which the old data are available: Will the host or the spreadsheet interface of the LSMW have to be used?
· If only a part of your legacy system will be replaced by R/3, define the functionalities to be provided by the SAP System and those to be provided by the legacy system. If required, create a concept of the data flows and interface architecture.
These questions can only be answered individually for every customer; as a matter of course, this should be done before the tool is used!

Master data upload into SAP system

Hello,
I want to know if there is any standard method to upload material master, customer master, vendor master and finance master data into SAP system.
I am not referring to LSMW's, BDC's and using BAPI's. I am aware of standard programs like RMDATIND for material master upload, RFBIDE00 for customer master upload and RFBIKR00 for vendor master upload. But these are using direct input method and SAP recommends this only for testing purpose. I am not sure if this could be really used in actual live scenarios.
From some other posts in the forum, I came to know about some transactions like BDLR, SXDB and BMVO. Can some one tell me how to use these T.Codes?
If some one has any detailed documentation on these T.codes or in general standard master data upload techniques please send it to [email protected]
Thanks in advance,
CMV

Hi,
Define the following attributes, using the F4 input help and F1 field help:
Report
Name of a registered program for this program type
Variant
You can only specify a variant with programs that are started directly.
With direct input, data from the data transfer file undergoes the same checks as with the online transaction and is then transferred directly into the SAP System. The database is updated directly with the transferred data.
For the documentation of other transactions please refer the correponding program documentation..which is more helpful,

Master data Load from Oracle table

Hi,
My master data comes from an Oracle table. The table has both attributes and texts combined. How do I load the Master data into the text and attribute info objects thru Direct Upload of Master Data?
Is it necessary to go in for Flexible Upload in this case?
Regards

Hi,
you can create two views on the table. One for the text and the other one for the attributes. Create your datasources on these views and assign them to your infoobject.

Is it possible to update master data attributes from an ODS?

HELLO ALL,
we have records coming into our ods like the following:
costcenter1, subcostcentera, subcostcenterb, manager responsible, costs (kf).
This is a custom flat file load from a legacy system.
We would like to just create an update rule from the ODS to the cost center mater data characteristic attributes.
Is this possible?
thank you

Yes its possible to update the master data attributes from an ODS.
Define your master data characteristics as a infoprovider.
Create a update rule on Characteristic with ODS as a source and do general mapping.
For step by step, pls refer..

Data load from Legacy system to BW Server through BAPI

Requirements: We have different kind of legacy systems and SAP BW server. We want to load all legacy system data into SAP BW server using BAPI. Before loading we have to validate all data. If there are bad data, data missing we have to let the legacy system user/ operator knows to fix the data into their system with detail explanation. When it is fixed, we have to load the data again.
Load Scenario: We have two options to load data from legacy systems to BW Server.
1. We need to load data directly from legacy system to BW Server using BAPI program.
2. Legacy Systems data would be in workstations or flash drive as .txt (one line separated by comma) or .csv file. Need to load from .txt /.csv file to BW Server using BAPI program.
What we want in the BAPI program code?
It will Read / Retrieve data from text / csv file and will put into the Internal table. Internal table structure would be based on BAPI InfoObject structure.
Call BAPI InfoObject function module BAPI_IOBJ_CREATE to create InfoObject, include all necessary / default components, do the error check, load the data and return the status.
Could some one help me with the sample code please? I am new in ABAP / BAPI coding.
Is there any other better idea to load data from legacy system to BW server? BTW we are using BW 3.10. Is there any better option with BI 7.0 to resolve the issue? I appreciate your help.

my answers:
1. this is a scendario for a data push into SAP BW. You can only use SOAP-Based Transfer of Data.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/fd/8012403dbedd5fe10000000a155106/frameset.htm
(here for BW 3.5, but you'll find similar for 7.0)
In this scenario you'll have an RFC dinamically created for every Infosource you need to transfer data.
2. You can make a chain for each data load, so you can call the RFC "RSPC_API_CHAIN_START" to start the chain from external.
the second solution is more simply and available on every release.
Regards,
Sergio
