Hi,
You need to find the tables which are used by those structures.
Check the where used list of structures...it will give you the list of all programs and function module...chose wisely the program or function module which you think is related to your area.
You will have to inside the code of each program and check from tables those fields are getting populated.
You will have to use those tables.
You can do some verification by looking for the where used list of the fields which you want and then try to match them with the tables found in the code...this will give you the idea...
some times entry help check or quantity /currency tb gives some option about the reference fields and table name and you can have an idea from there.
You can use the option "display object list" also and it will give you the list of tables..that may be associated with that structure...
Thanks

hi
while creating flat file u may check for how many fileds did u require and what r they
and check for each attribute for fileds in the screen
so it is compatable for the filed attributes
after the date format is also very important (it should match the SAP date format)
all fileds of data should match with the flat file

Steps to prepare and upload legacy master data excel files into SAP?

Hi abap experts,
We have brand new installed ECC system somehow configured but with no master or transaction data loaded .It is new empty system....We also have some legacy data in excel files...We want to start loading some data into the SAP sandbox step by step and to see how they work...test some transactions see if the loaded data are good etc initial tests.
Few questions here are raised:
-Can someone tell me what is the process of loading this data into SAP system?
-Should this excel file must me reworked prepared somehow(fields, columns etc) in order to be ready for upload to SAP??
-Users asked me how to prepared their legacy excel files so they can be ready in SAP format for upload.?Is this an abaper job or it is a functional guy job?
-Or should the excel files be converted to .txt files and then imported to SAP?Does it really make some difference if files are in excel or .txt format?
-Should the Abaper determine the structure of those excel file(to be ready for upload ) and if yes, what are the technical rules here ?
-What tools should be used for this initial data loads? CATT , Lsmw , batch input or something else?
-At which point we should test the data?I guess after the initial load?
-What tools are used in all steps before...
-If someone can provide me with step by step scenario or guide of loading some kind of initial master data - from .xls file alignment to the real upload - this will be great..
You can email me some upload guide or some excel/txt file examples and screenshots documents to excersize....
Your help is appreciated it.!

How to Import XML file into SAP B1

Dear All,
I have a scenario like,
I am receiving a XML file from a 3rd party application for the daily Creation,Update of Item Master,BP Master, Marketing Documents. I want to import this file into SAP B1 through its approp objects. I understand DTW has limitation in its file types (Semicolo,Tab,Comma,ODBC). How do i do this ? Please guide me.
Thanks,
Thanga Raj K

Hy folks,
I´m frim Brasil and I've been studying the tool EFM (Eletronic File Manager) to learn more about it!
There I saw that we can extract to XML "any" infomation from the database we want, mainly through the GEP.
However, as I've seen, this Add-On can not import any XML file into SBO, unless for the BFP wich can be imported in conjunction with the BTHF Add-on.
So I ask: how is it possible to import XML data into SBO database? Is it possible to be done through the EFM? or it´s really necessary to write a code specifically to do that?
Besides, I know that de B1iSN fit to this necessity... but when I tried to use it, by the custom "object" for BP, for example, there are some data wich the mapping conteined in this custom "process" that can not be imported... I tried to understand how to map those other fields not imported by the custom but this has been dificult to me as I am a implementation consultant focused in administrative process not on development...
Could you please help me with this subject!
Thanks a lot,
Denis

All those 5 file's data should come into SAP at a time.
Can anybody tell me how can we solve above issue.

How to extract non-sap data (A/R Invoices from Legacy system) into SAP ICR

Hi
We are trying to bring A/R invoices from a legacy system into SAP ICR special ledger so that ICR tool can be used these items for intercompany reconcilliation. Could you please let's know the way to load these legacy AR invoice items into ICR data base using any function moduels.
Regards,
Eswar.

Hello Eswar,
In what form do you have these "external" open items? If they are contained in a file you should simply import the file in ICR during data selection using the File Upload functionality. There is no need to store them in a special purpose ledger first. Actually you would have to create a BADI implementation to extract the data from that special purpose ledger during data selection. Please consider using File Upload standard functionality.
If for some reason this cannot be used you could implement a logic calling RFC enabled function module FB_ICRC_ADD_DATA_RFC which will take the open items you are supplying in your logic and push them into the ICR database. This strategy could be used to include these external open items without them being processed during data selection.
Best regards,
Ralph

UPC fonts in crystal runtime reset after fresh logging into SAP B1 desktop client?

Dear Experts,
I have a client who has SAP version: Business One 8.82 (8.82.069) PL: 06 Hotfix2 and Crystal Reports version: 12.1.0.892 Product Type: Full.
They have a shipping report that is printed from production module. They needed UPC barcodes on the report. The achieved that through IDAutomation Fonts. The crystal report uses the IDAutomation Function that takes the field and converts and the font is IDAutomation Font that shows the fields are barcodes.
This repeated works when logged into SAP server using specific id.
IDAutionation is installed on SAP Server.
Here is the problem?
The shipping users have a desktop which has SAP B1 client. That desktop also has IDAutomation fonts installed.
Shipping personnel logs into SAP B1 with the same id that worked on SAP Server, the report prints okay just the first time after it was saved in SAP Server through crystal report edit and save. Next time they log out of SAP client and log back in with same shipper ID, the report does not pick up the UPC IDAutionation fonts. It comes out as some stange text.
The fonts are present in control panel fonts on both server and desktop.
I called IDAutiomation support, they could not help besides saying, put the fonts on both server and client, which I have already done. He also said, there were crystal report runtime issues with fonts?
Could someone help me out here. What am I missing? I even tried installing full crystal report on the desktop and it did not get resolved. Customer is quite desperate to get this resolved.
Thank you,
Syed

Query on integrating windows file server into SAP KM using WEBDAV

hi
I have sucessfully integrated windows file server into SAP KM using WEBDAV. I have query in it regarding the possible validation against the portal Database user. Can we configure such that the user comparison happens for LDAP as well as database user. Have anyone configured such a scenario?
Regards,
Ganesh N

Hi Ganesh,
this should work in principle.
However you would need a user in Active Directory for each user in the portal database that should connect to the file server if you are using the SSO22KerbMap Module as I assume.
In my whitepaper I have mentioned this for the internal user index_service that does only exist in the portal database.
Best regards,

How do I upload a network hierarhcy into SAP BW?

I am trying to import a large network hierarchy with "link nodes" into SAP BW.
I'm new to SAP, and BW 7.0 is all I know. However, apparently, you can't use the new 7.0 concepts and methods to import hierarchies. You must use older 3.5 methods, including a 3.5 InfoSource.
I found some instructions at http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/fa/e92637c2cbf357e10000009b38f936/frameset.htm
Which documents how do import hierarchies using 3.5 mechanisms in version 7.0.
Unfortunately, I am unable to follow these steps. I create the 3.5 InfoSource, and the docs say:
"Choose InfoSource Tree ® Your Application Component ® Your InfoSource ® Assign Source System."
However, I see no option to "Assign Source System" anywhere. Also, when I create the 3.5 InfoSource, I see the target InfoObject show up in the InfoSources tree, but I don't see a InfoSource object show up in the InfoSources tree. I'm not sure what to do.

Completely revised post.

Krzys,
Thank you so much. I was trying to use a DB Connect Source System. I created a new flat file Source System and with that, I make it past step 4.
On step 5, I get asked about three different data sources. I choose "no" to the attributes and text data sources (those are import through BW 7.0 mechanisms) and "yes" to the hierarchy data source.
On Step 6, I am on the InfoSource change screen and I try to activate. I don't know what all the settings on the InfoSource mean. When I click activate, I get this error:
"InfoObj. 0GN_IOBJNM from fld IOBJNM of dataSource CSTOB_CBO_HIER is not active but BCT ex. -> Dtl Message no. RSAOLTP236"
I attempt to follow this help text and do: "RSA1" -> "Goto" -> "BI Content"
From there I see a panel, "InfoProviders by InfoAreas". There is a large tree underneath. I do a "find" for 0GN_OBJNM but nothing comes back. I don't know how to proceed.
I also do a Google for 0GN_OBJNM. I found the Best Practices Article BS1 which mentions activating the 0GN_OBJNM object. I try to follow step 3.3.2, however at step 2.c, I get a running stopwatch cursor that lasts for several hours. I assume it's hung. CPU+Disc on SAP server are idle.
Swapna,
I tried to follow the PDF file that you linked. However, I can't do transaction SE38 since I can't get a developer code. The following steps seem similar to Krzys's suggestion where I'm getting the issues above.

I am trying to read a PDF document from my desktop and get the data into SAP but i am not getting successful.
I am using the method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload and passing the filename and type and importing the file length and the data into an internal table.
I tried the file type as ASC but i couldn't get any records in the internal table and the filelength is displayed as 0.
When i tried the file type as BIN, it is giving the short dump. I guess that is because the file i am trying to read is not with the extension BIN.
Please Advice me on this

REPORT zpdf_data_update.
DATA : lt_file_table TYPE filetable.
DATA : lv_rc TYPE i.
DATA : lv_filename TYPE string.
DATA : lv_filelength TYPE i.
TYPES : BEGIN OF hex_record,
 data TYPE string,
 END OF hex_record.
DATA: lt_rawtab TYPE TABLE OF hex_record.
CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_open_dialog

file_table = lt_file_table
rc = lv_rc

file_open_dialog_failed = 1
cntl_error = 2
error_no_gui = 3
not_supported_by_gui = 4
OTHERS = 5.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
ENDIF.
READ TABLE lt_file_table
INTO lv_filename
INDEX 1.
cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload(
EXPORTING
 filetype = 'BIN'
 filename = lv_filename
IMPORTING
 filelength = lv_filelength
CHANGING
 data_tab = lt_rawtab
EXCEPTIONS
 file_open_error = 1
 file_read_error = 2

 dp_out_of_memory = 14
 disk_full = 15
 dp_timeout = 16
 not_supported_by_gui = 17
 error_no_gui = 18
 OTHERS = 19 ).
But it is giving me a short dump saying that the field symbol is not assigned ...
If i give the file type as ASC , then i am getting an empty table... Please advise me on this
Thanks
