Problem in batch input method

Hi wizards,
please help me for the following problem:
I have created a parent recording for MATERIAL MASTER in LSMW batch input method by selecting all of the fields that may be required for different material types. Now I want to edit the recording and create new recordings from the parent one for specific material types. For this, i have made a copy of the same recording with a different name in the same project. In the copied recording, i have kept only the screen fields which i require for a particular material type and deleted the rest. I have created new structure relationships and field mapping rules for the new recording. Now when i upload the data, system is behaving normally upto the DISPLAY READ DATA stage, but gives a short dump on CONVERT DATA. On inspection i have found that during FIELD MAPPING, the _source field mapping is still showing mapping with the source structure of the parent recording for fields which have mapping rule as "Transfer" but it is picking up the new source structure for those source fields for which mapping rule is "Constant"_.
Kindly help me solve this problem as i do not want to create a separate recording for each material type. Can creating a new subproject help in this regard?
Thanks and regards
Abhik

Hi Harris,
could you please let me know how to use the two methods you have mentioned? If you have any docs regarding the same then could you please mail it to me at [email protected]? Or else if you have any link for the same then please do send it to me.
However, I would like to know that if separate recording is required for every material type, then why the "COPY RECORDING" and "DELETE SCREENFIELD" utilities have been provided.
Thanks and regards
Abhik

PO creation using LSMW through batch input method

Hi, I am new to working with LSMW and i have completed a project for creating purchase orders using the direct data input method. I need to do the same using batch input method, however in the maintain structure relationship step, it is only allowing me to assign one structure to the recording that i have done, however in po creation we need separate (nested) structure for header and line item, could anybody help me past this please?

Hi Rudra!
OK, now you just know, why you have only one line, not multiple PO item lines. To get a dynamic number of items, you need a complex program - just like standard direct input.
If you need a field, which is not part of this program, don't try to write your own program for batch input - it's just to much work before you have a good result.
You can use Bapi method instead with BAPI_PO_CREATE1. This can handle a lot of fields and there is some documentation available how to fill the Bapi.
If this looks to complicated in the first moment, think about creation of POs via direct input and a small batch recording to change your additional field(s) afterwards. (You can select EKPO table to generate list of 'wrong' migrated orders for input in LSMW.) Use field 'Item' in the bottom of ME22 to position your desired line in first screen line, just change one PO-line after one other (every time a 'save' -> no problem with different number of lines / PO).

Criteria to use batch input method in lsmw

in lsmw we hav batch input method,direct input,idocs,bapis,what is the criteria to use them?

     Decide whether it makes sense to use this tool with respect to the data volume to be transferred. It may be easier to transfer very small data volumes into the SAP system manually. In the case of a very large data volume, batch input or IDoc techniques may cause extremely long runtimes. A rough landmark for estimating the required time: 10 000 records per hour where this value may vary considerably depending on the hardware available.
     Identify the transaction(s) in the SAP system via which you want to import the data into your SAP system. It may be relevant whether you need the data for statistical analysis or for further processing in the system.
     Run the relevant transaction in the SAP system manually with test data from the legacy system and see which fields must be filled. There may be required fields that do not correspond to data fields in the legacy system. In such a case, you should better assign a fixed value or establish an optional field for data transfer.

Difference between batch input method and batch input recording in LSMW?

hi,
plz tell me the difference between batch input method and batch input recording in LSMW?
thanks & regards
Ruban

Hi Ruban,
The main difference between the two is in lsmw we can view the code status at any time just by coming to prvious steps, but whereas in batch input method unless the recording is finished we cant view the code.
second diff is tht we need to do lot of coding in batch inptu whereas here in lsmw we need not do much coding and mapping to data.
third diff is that batch input is both inbound and outbound where as lsmw is only inbound.
hope u got the differences.....

Difference between batch input method and direct input method in LSMW.

Hi all,
what is difference between batch input method and direct input method in LSMW. are they same?if differences are there tell me with details?

Hi,
Here are few differences bw Batch Input and Direct Inputs methods.
Batch Input: Uses classical BDC approach, but doesn't required an ABAP program to be written to format the BDC DATA. The user has to format the data using predefined structures and store it in a flat file. Yet it is a slower updation method.
Direct Input: Works similar to Batch Input programs. The difference is, instead of processing screens they validate fields and directly load the data into tables using standard function modules. Much faster and suits for large volume of data.
Thanks.

Problem with batch inputs

Dear All
Could you advise me, we have many batch inputs stored in our system, some of them are very old one.
What is SAP recommendation?
How long batch inputs should be stored?
Maybe you have some experience in this matter and can advice us>
Thank you in advance for your help.
Best regards
Maja

Hi Maja,
if you double click on each batch input session, u will find the status, (Error, Processed, Not Message). u can delete the batch inputs whose status is Error or no message. those are all not in use. Even if you leave that also not a problem.
U can find the status in 2nd Column, if the 2nd column has symbles like (Execute, Create and Error). Based on that also u can find the status.

A strange problem about batch input (VA01)

Dear experts,
I have created one batch input program about VA01,When the selection screen is full window and run,one error occurs.Opposition the screen is not full window ,and the error do not occur.
Could you help me?
Thanks and regards,
collysun

Hi Collysun,
The problem what you are facing is due to the resolution setting of individual desktop. This is a known issue in BDC's. Pls do one more recording of VA01 by putting the screen into default size from the tri color button that comes at the right corner of the application tool bar of your session window.
The advantage is that when the BDC is executed in background automatically the size of the session which is doing the job for you goes to the original size as the one in the recording and it will work irrespective of the windows screen resolution.
Cheers
JK

LSMW updating problem with direct input method

Hi!
Using version 4.0.0 of the LSM Workbench from 2001-07-01 on SAP R/3 4.7, I need to update the purchase order text and wanted to use the direct input method. I found a tutorial on SAPTechnical which I followed. All went well, the input data was converted and at last I got the message:
"Long Texts in Total : 2
Successfully Transferred Long Texts : 2
Non-Transferred Long Texts : 0"
My trials are recorded in table STXH with date and time and also in the material master change history. However, the result in the material master is that the purchase order text is NOT updated.
Can anyone tell me why this might be?

Hi Santosh!
First of all, thank you very much for posting an answer. But unfortunately it was of no help. I want to update the purchase order text on a material that already has the purchasing and purchase order text views. When I compare the PO text before and after my "Successfuly Transferred Long Texts" there is no change. I hope that this make it more clear but it is still a mystery to me.

LSMW Standard/Batch Input Method

Hi,
I am trying to learn LSMW. Can anybody pls tell me what is the meaning of Object & Method in Standard Input method in LSMW? I am having one example of LSMW for updating vendor master. The Object & Method used in this document are 0040 & 0002 respectively. How do I get these nos. like 0040 for vendor master. can you pls explain the meaning of this.
Thanks & Regards
Swati Ghadge.
Moderator Message: These are not training forums. Take a classroom course if you need help.
Edited by: kishan P on Oct 12, 2010 2:52 PM

It is quite simple. Header structure reproduces the contents of fields in table STXH.
Find out which is the object and the text id.
How? Create the text manually in the online transaction and check on table STXH what is the object and text id created by using date and user name.
Then you can go on by following the steps on this blog

Batch input data method

can i know about batch input method in BDCs?

Hi..,
<b>DONT POST THE SAME THREADS AGAIN AND AGAIN !! CLOSE UR THREADS, WHEN UR PROBLEM IS SOLVED !! REWARD ALL HELPFUL ANSWERS !!</b>
BDC:
Batch Data Communication (BDC) is the process of transferring data from one SAP System to another SAP system or from a non-SAP system to SAP System.
Types of BDC :
CLASSICAL BATCH INPUT (Session Method)
CALL TRANSACTION
BATCH INPUT METHOD:
Features:
Asynchronous processing.
Synchronous updating in database update.
Transfer data for more than one transaction.
Batch input processing log will be generated.
During processing, no transaction is started until the previous transaction has been written to the database.
CALL TRANSACTION METHOD :
Features:
Synchronous processing. The system performs a database commit immediately before and after the CALL TRANSACTION USING statement.
Updating the database can be either synchronous or asynchronous. The program specifies the update type.
Transfer data for a single transaction.
Transfers data for a sequence of dialog screens.
No batch input processing log is generated.
For BDC:
