Upload Currency Vlaues using Flat File.

Hi All,
I need a clarification in Loading the Currency Values through flat files. The flat file is created with the similar table structure as that of TCURR.
But there is a problem that am facing.
In SPRO there is an screen to maintain the Exchange rates. After doing the flat file upload in AWB under the source system tab, i checked in SPRO Exchange rates screen to see if the values for Indirect Quotation and Direct Quotations are populated. But it is always populating the exchange value only in Direct Quotation and not in indirect quotation.
Apart from that i am not able to navigate in that screen as am getting an error message in the Exchange rate screen as :"MAnintain conversion factors for <FROM>/<TO> currency.
Please let me know how to do a flat file upload of currency values and also on the Indirect/Direct Quot mapping.
Sajan.M

Hi Sajan,
The Steps that you followed is correct but only thing is you have to maintain Exchange Rate Type with use of T-code : RRC1 .
Maintain the Flatfile same as the table.
Note : Exchange Rate Type should be the existing one.
In the Source system, right click the concern source system and choose the transfer exchange rate...and specify your flat file.we can load it from the local or application server.
But be carefull sometimes it will delete the existing data in the table.
Regards,
Suresh

  • Error while uploading data from a flat file to the hierarchy

    Hi guys,
    after i upload data from a flat file to the hierarchy, i get a error message "Please select a valid info object" am loading data using PSA, having activated all external chars still get the problem..some help on this please..
    regards
    Sri

    there is o relation of infoobject name in flat file and infoobjet name at BW side.
    please check with the object in the BW and their lengths and type of the object and check your flat file weather u have the same type there,
    now check the sequence of the objects in the transfer rules  and activate them.
    there u go.

  • Uploading Data from a Flat File

    Hi
    I am trying to Upload data from a Flat File to the MDS. I have a few questions on the Process.
    a) XI would be the Interface, and one end would be a file adapter with the Flat File format. On the other end, which Interface should I use - ABA Business Partner In or MDM Business Partner In. I do not understand the differences between them and where should which one be used?
    B) At the moment,I want to map the data to standard Object type, Business Partner  BUS1006. This also has a staging area already defined in the System. Can I view the data which is imported into the Staging area ? How so ?
    C) The struture (or data) that I wish to upload has few fields, and does not map to the BP structure easily. In such a scenario does it make sense to
    Create a new Object type
    (ii) Create a new Business Partner type with the appropriate fields only ..
    What I need to know is if either of these options is feasible and what are the pros & cons of doing this, in terms of effort, skillset & interaction with SAP Development ?
    Kindly do reply if you have any answers to these questions.
    Regards,
    Gaurav

    Hi Markus,
    Thanks for your inputs.
    I have tried uploading some dats from a Flat file to the Business Partner Onject type, BUS1006. I initially got some ABAP Parsing errors on the MDM side, but after correcting that, I find my message triggers a short dump - with the Method SET_OBJECTKEYS, not finding any keys in the BP structure that has been created.
    Q1 - How do I get around this problem ? Is it necessary for me to specify Keys in the PartyID node of the Interface ABABusinessPartnerIn. or is it something else ?
    Q2 - How is this general process supposed to work? I would assume that for staging, I would get incomplete Master data or data from flat files, which need not neccesarily contain keys. The aim is to use the matching strategies in the CI to identify duplicates and consolidate them.
    Thanks in advance for your reply.
    Regards,

    how to load hierrarchies using dtp  using flat file  in bw  ineed clear steps

    Hi,
    If you want to load InfoObjects in the form of hierarchies, you have to activate the indicator with hierarchies for each of the relevant InfoObjects in the InfoObject maintenance. If necessary, you need to specify whether the whole hierarchy or the hierarchy structure is to be time-dependent, whether the hierarchy can contain intervals, whether additional node attributes are allowed (only when loading using a PSA), and which characteristics are allowed.
    1.Defining the source system from which you want to load data:
    Choose Source System Tree ® Root (Source System) ® Context menu (Right Mouse Button) ® Create.
    For a flat file, choose: File System, Manual Metadata; Data via File Interface.
    2.Defining the InfoSource for which you want to load data:
    Optional: Choose InfoSource Tree ®Root (InfoSources) ® Context Menu (Right Mouse Button) ® Create Application Component.
    Choose InfoSource Tree ® Your Application Component ® Context Menu (Right Mouse Button) ® Create InfoSource ® Direct Update
    Choose an InfoObject from the proposal list, and specify a name and a description.
    3.Assigning the source system to the InfoSource
    Choose InfoSource tree ® Your Application Component ® One of your InfoSources ® Context Menu (Right Mouse Button) ® Assign Source System. You are taken automatically to the transfer structure maintenance.
    The system automatically generates DataSources for the three different data types to which you can load data.
          Attributes
          Texts
          Hierarchies (if the InfoObject has access to hierarchies)
    The system automatically generates the transfer structure, the transfer rules, and the communication structure (for attributes and texts).
    4.Maintaining the transfer structure / transfer rules
    Choose the DataSource to be able to upload hierarchies.
    Idoc transfer method: The system automatically generates a proposal for the DataSource and the transfer structure. This consists of an entry for the InfoObject, for which hierarchies are loaded. With this transfer method, during loading, the structure is converted to the structure of the PSA, which affects performance.
    PSA transfer method: The transfer methods and the communication structure are also generated here. 
    5.Maintaining the hierarchy:
    Choose Hierarchy Maintenance, and specify a technical name and a description of the hierarchy.
    PSA Transfer Method: You have the option here to set the Remove Leaf Value and Node InfoObjects indicator. As a result, characteristic values are not transferred into the hierarchy fields NODENAME, LEAFFROM and LEAFTO as is normally the case, but in their own transfer structure fields.  This option allows you to load characteristic values having a length greater than 32 characters.
    Characteristic values with a length > 32 can be loaded into the PSA, but they cannot be updated in characteristics that have a length >32.
    The node names for pure text nodes remain restricted to 32 characters in the hierarchy (0HIER_NODE characteristic).
    The system automatically generates a table with the following hierarchy format (for sorted hierarchies without removed leaf values and node InfoObjects):
    Description
    Field Name
    Length
    Type
    Node ID
    NODEID
    8
    NUMC
    InfoObject name
    INFOOBJECT
    30
    CHAR
    Node name
    NODENAME
    32
    CHAR
    Catalog ID
    LINK
    1
    CHAR
    Parent node
    PARENTID
    8
    NUMC
    First subnode
    CHILDID
    8
    NUMC
    Next adjacent node
    NEXTID
    8
    NUMC
    Language key
    LANGU
    1
    CHAR
    Description - short
    TXTSH
    20
    CHAR
    Description - medium
    TXTMD
    40
    CHAR
    Description- long
    TXTLG
    60
    CHAR
    The system transfers the settings for the intervals and for time-dependency from the InfoObject maintenance. Depending on which settings you have defined in the InfoObject maintenance, further table fields can be generated from the system.
    The valid from and valid to field is filled if you select Total Hierarchy Time-dependent in the InfoObject maintenance. The time-dependent indicator is activated if you select the Hierarchy Nodes Time-dependent option in the InfoObject maintenance.
    6.Save your entries.
    Depending on which settings you defined in the InfoObject maintenance, additional fields can be generated from the system. Also note the detailed description for Structure of a Flat Hierarchy File for Loading via an IDoc and for Structure of a Flat Hierarchy File for Loading via a PSA.

  • Object reference not set to an instance of an object error when generating a schema using flat file schema wizard.

    I have a csv file that I need to generate a schema for. I am trying to generate a schema using flat file schema wizard but I keep getting "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." error when I am clicking on the Next button after
    specifying properties of the child elements on the wizard. At the end I get schema file generated but it contains an empty root record with no child elements.
    I thought may be this is because I didn't have my project checked out from the Visual SourceSafe db first but I tried again with the project checked out and got the same error.
    I also tried creating a brand new project and generating a schema for it but got the same error.
    I am not sure what is causing Null Reference exception to be thrown and there is nothing in the Windows event log that would tell me more about the problem.
    I am using Visual Studio 2008 for my BizTalk development.
    I would appreciate if some has any insides on this issue.

    Hi,
    To test your environment, create a new BizTalk project outside of source control.
    Create a simple csv file on the file system.
    Name,City,State
    Bob,New York,NY
    Use the Flat file schema Wizard to create the flat file schema from your simple csv instance.
    Validate the schema.
    Test the schema using your csv instance.
    This will help you determine if everything is ok with you environment.
    Thanks,

  • How to use 'flat file extraction' option in Infospoke

    Hello Gurus,
    We are trying to extract the BW data using Infospoke to a 3rd party ETL tool (Datastage). Now in the current BW 3.5 release, the customer is on SP11 and we are not able to extract any data using a 3rd party system option in Infospoke. Due to the fact, we found out from SAP, that since we are getting an error (3rd party system is not set)in infospoke, we have to upgrade the SP level from 11 to either 16 or 17. The customer that we are dealing with is not going to do that until July - 2007.
    So now we have a second option to load the 'flat file' in BW App. server and FTP to Datastage. Is this something workable option?
    When using that option within Infospoke destination Tab, we can see two options. One is to use File option and load the data within the standard DIR HOME. I tried that but I can't see the file and the entire data within the standard directory. Can anyone explain why and what will be the procedure to follow?
    The second option is to use Logical file. I never done that before. Can anyone explain step by step process or provide the detail document and/or link?
    Since we are at the critical timeframe stage, I would appreciate if I can get the faster response from the Gurus.
    I will make sure to give 'reward points' to each and every helpful answer(s).
    thanks in advance,
    Maulesh

    Hi shashi,
    first, let me clarify one thing here! I am not saying '3rd party tool' as an option in infospoke. I know Infospoke provides only two options (DB table, and file). But when you use DB table option, you check mark on 3rd party destination and that's where you define an RFC destination for 3rd party tool. So when you execute an infospoke, it will start extracting data and load into the defined destination. Since we are on SP11 on BW 3.5 release, we are getting an error while executing an Infospoke using 'DB table option'. The error is like '3rd party destination is not set'. When I went to Marketplace and found an OSS note, I found out that we need an upgrade on SP level (upto 17).
       As I mentioned earlier, the client doesn't want to upgrade until next year, and we are at the critical timeframe stage, where we have to make a decision whether we hold this project until the SP upgrade happens or found alternate approach where we can extract the data from BW (somehow) and load into Teradata database via Datastage - BW Pack (3rd party ETL).
       So we might be able to use the second option in Infospoke destination, which is to use 'Flat file' load.
       Now when I use File option with App. server checked, the data loads into default Server and directory on BW. Which is DIR_HOME. I can see those file extracted and loaded into that directory under the transaction AL11. But I can't see any data. Do you think I have to request for an increase in size limit? If I see all the data, how can I FTP from the BW server? Do I have to work with SAP Basis or create a UNIX script?
       When I use Logical file name, I guess I have to follow what you have described on your response, correct? Can i use an existing Logical path and file name? Do you have a 'How to' document on creating YEAR and PER FM? Is it possible that Basis can do this work for us? What happens after we assign a logical Path and logical file name into the destination tab on Infospoke? What is the use of logical file versus file? Overall, I am looking for a process from extracting the data from Infospoke using either file or logical file, all the way to load into 3rd party database.
      looking forward for your response!
    thanks,
    Maulesh

  • Loading Hierarchies using flat file

    Hi experts,
    I have requirement to load hierarchies using flat file.
    I have to create hier on Person Responsible, sub nodes are Sales Office, Project Definition, Project Type and Project Definition Description. I have file, i need to load into BW.
    I dont know much about hier loading, can you tell me what are the Attributes to be inserted and how to prepare the hier loading file which contains HIENM, VERSION, HCLASS, DATEFROM and DATETO.
    I dont know these fields are enough to load my hier.
    I have created one hier, when i try to activate it's giving error like ' no data exists'.
    Can anyone tell me how to prepare file to load into hierarchy?
    Thanks in advance,
    Venky

    Hi Venkatesh,
    There are several formats to load a hierarchy via file. The following two are the commonly used formats.
    1) Default
    Node ID                     NODEID
    InfoObject Name     INFOOBJECT
    Node Name     NODENAME
    Link Name     LINK
    HghrLvlNode     PARENTID
    Language Key     LANGU
    Description - Short     TXTSH
    Description - Medium     TXTMD
    Description - Long     TXTLG
    2) Sorted
    Node ID                     NODEID
    InfoObject Name     INFOOBJECT
    Node Name     NODENAME
    Link Name     LINK
    HghrLvlNode     PARENTID
    First Subnode     CHILDID
    Next Node Along     NEXTID
    Language Key     LANGU
    Description - Short     TXTSH
    Description - Medium     TXTMD
    Description - Long     TXTLG
    If Default format is used, the sequence of node IDs appeared in the flat file determines the structure of the hierarchy. Whereas the sorted hierarchy format defines the structure via PARENTID, CHILDID, NEXTID relationship.
    You make the selection in DataSource/Tran.Structure tab of InfoSource Page by clicking on the "Hier. Structure button.
    Good luck!

    Hi
    If it is comma delimited file (CSV format) you can directly read the whole file and into a table with one field.
    Loop at that table.

    Hi Subrat ,
    u can upload the data either ( Master /Transaction) data with the help of lsmw. for that all u need to do is go through the lsmw and do it. in that u can go Batch input recording/ BAPI/ IDOC any of that. here i am sending the LSMW Notes go through it and do the work.
    once u create the LSMW project then u can ask the data from user or u can explain the user about the program and can run the flat file to upload the data.
    if u require LSMW material Just send me blank mail from u. my mail id is [email protected]

  • Short dump while reading a currency field from Flat file into internal tabl

    Hi,
    I am getting a short dump........saying number conversion dump (while reading a currency value into field in internal table from a fixed lenght flat file).........
    Do I need to use a string variable to get the value from flat file or how ??
    Please suggest.

    Santosh,
    Thanks for your inputs,
    But my internal table type is of DEC (5,2) , I am getting that... it needs to be of type 'C'. Can you suggest.
    Ex :
    MOVE wa_temp-infile_string+106(8)  TO wa_item-QT_PERCENT
    This didnt work
    so i tried moving into a seperate variable
    MOVE wa_temp-infile_string+106(8)  TO v_percent.
    and then write to
    WRITE v_percent to  wa_item-QT_PERCENT.

  • Error while uploading data from a flat file

    Hi All,
    I am trying to load data from a flat file to an ODS. The flat file contains a field, say FLAT01, of numerical type(Type Decimal, Length 18, Decimals 2). I have created an infoobject, say ZIO10, with type CURR and currency field, 0CURRENCY. In the transfer rules, I have assigned a constant for 0CURRENCY as the flat file doesn't have any currecy field.
    The problem is the flat file doesn't have any value in that field, FLAT01, for some records, infact most of the records. When I try to load it to BW,from applicatin server, it is throwing an error "Contents from field ZIO10 cannot be converted in type CURR ->longtext".
    I have debugged the transfer rules and find that the empty value is being represented as '#' and when it is trying to copy it into the CURR type field, it is throwing the error.
    Can someone please let me know how to solve it? why is it taking '#' for enpty value? Can't we change that?
    Any help would be highly appreciated.
    Best Regards,
    James.

    Hi SS,
    I am sorry that I was not clear with my explanation. I have created ZIO10 as a keyfigure with type AMOUNT and the currency as 0CURRENCY.
    There is no currency coming in from the flat file so I used a constant in transfer rules to fill 0CURRENCY.
    The field which is coming as '#' is FLAT01 which is assigned to ZIO10.
    Best Regards,
    James.
