Upload data thru LSMW -WBS with 3 levels

Hi PS Experts,
My situation is like I have to upload data thru LSMW for all Levels! As I m doing for only L3 WBS with PD it is going upto 14 steps and executing.But for Level 2 and Level 3 it is not executing. In the Step "Read Data" it is showing blank.
Can v upload these multilevel data thru LSMW? or how is like?
Thanks in advance,
Sanju..

Hi Virendra,
I think that your solution is very good for my purpose.
But in my implementation there is no way to insert a new element in an existing WBS, I can only edit attributes for an element already created, for example, in cj02.
I checked all the menus but i didn't find any useful command.
Could you send me a screenshot of the keypoint in which you can create the element different from the first level?
Thank you very much.

Which method is easiest for uploading data using LSMW?

which method is easiest for uploading data using LSMW (Direct method or batch input method) bcs I am facing lot of problem using batch input method while recording.Even I cannot use direct method using standard program.can anyone tell me some other easiest way for uploading MM01.?

I personally used the direct input way 6 years ago and it was a little bit of a struggle cause I was very new to SAP at the time. But it worked out to be ok in the end. You just have to keep messing with it till the errors are clear and then you can upload for real. The test mode is a nice touch, you can get rid of all of the errors before actually uploading the data.

What are the difficulties that we face while uploading data in lsmw

what are the difficulties that we face while uploading data in lsmw

I've used LSMW extensively for all implementation projects. Most complex problem is when you have to deal with a lot of structures (for example in routings), where you have header/line item/sub-items/long texts/etc relationship. Still, LSMW can pull it fine.

Uploading data thru BDC into APPCREATE transaction

Hi,
I have used BDC to upload data in the tcode APPCREATE. When I see the uploading using the call transaction method, I am able to see that all the screens are getting populated correctly. But, When I check the result of the upload in APPSEARCH tcode, i am not able to see the completed status. Still the status is 'In Preparation'.
But manually, I am able to do that. I just want to find out if any keys needs to be activated/changed before doing the upload thru BDC.
Thanks & Regards,

BDC for Uploading data from XL sheet with unknown order of fields

Hi SAP Gurus,
My requirement is as follows,
A BDC is to be developed for uploading data from an XL sheet, but the problem here is , the order of fileds in the sheet can be changed .
ie, for example the fields in the XL sheet are :-
matnr    maktx   menge amount
but the user can give as
matnr amount menge maktx
or
maktx   matnr amount menge
how i can solve this problem.
Thanks and Regards,
pavan.

Hi Pavan,
You need to handle it by your self, you can create a dynamic table based on the file value.
The field name pass from file with the record as a header, and based on the header name create your dynamic table.
afterward you can pass your value to BDC.
for creating dynamic table you can use this method
call method cl_alv_table_create=>create_dynamic_table
exporting
   i_style_table             =
    it_fieldcatalog           = it_field[]
   i_length_in_byte          =
importing
    ep_table                  = dyn_tab
   e_style_fname             =
exceptions
    generate_subpool_dir_full = 1
    others                    = 2
if sy-subrc <> 0.
message id sy-msgid type sy-msgty number sy-msgno
             with sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.

Uploading data on pc interfering with iPhone calls

Hi Mani,
Sorry yaar i dont have enough knowledge to discuss/tell abt spro, anyway go through this hope u can .
More or less, the SPRO transaction is just a collection of table maintenance programs. So in order to see the changes to the tables, the tables must have the "log changes" checkbox assigned to the table itself. Some programs in spro may provide there own "changes" functionality.
Here is the help on "Log Data Changes".
Log data changes
The logging flag defines whether changes to the data records of a table should be logged. If logging is activated, every change (with UPDATE, DELETE) to an existing data record by a user or an application program is recorded in a log table in the database.
Note: Activating logging slows down accesses that change the table. First of all, a record must be written in the log table for each change. Secondly, many users access this log table in parallel. This could cause lock situations even though the users are working with different application tables.
Dependencies
Logging only takes place if parameter rec/client in the system profile is set correctly. Setting the flag on its own does not cause the table changes to be logged.
The existing logs can be displayed with Transaction Table history (SCU3).
As the help has described, use transaction SCU3 to view the change logs regarding customizing tables.
Thanks

Upload data from excel file to "Fast Data Entry" in FB60

Hi,
I have a requirement from users, they want to load data of G/L accounts items in FB60 using "Fast Data Entry" from an excel file.
I did some research and found out that the framework to transfer clipboard data into an SAP table(http://www.synactive.com/examples/example0016.html) seems to be the suitable solution.
However, I still cannot make it work.
Do you have any suggestion for my case ? How can I load data from an excel file to the transaction FB60?
Thanks in advance,
Hung

Dear Hung,
You can upload data through LSMW (Batch Input).
But you need to convert your excel sheet into CSV format or txt format.
Please take help of your ABAP team if required.
This will accommodate your requirement.

Data transfer thru lsmw via bapi

how to perform data transfer thru lsmw via bapi.
Thanks.
Regards
Rama

HI
BAPI stands for Business API(Application Program Interface).
A BAPI is remotely enabled function module ie it can be invoked from remote programs like standalone JAVA programs, web interface etc..
You can make your function module remotely enabled in attributes of Function module but
A BAPI are standard SAP function modules provided by SAP for remote access. Also they are part of Businees Objest Repository(BOR).
BAPI are RFC enabled function modules. the difference between RFc and BAPI are business objects. You create business objects and those are then registered in your BOR (Business Object Repository) which can be accessed outside the SAP system by using some other applications (Non-SAP) such as VB or JAVA. in this case u only specify the business object and its method from external system in BAPI there is no direct system call. while RFC are direct system call Some BAPIs provide basic functions and can be used for most SAP business object types. These BAPIs should be implemented the same for all business object types. Standardized BAPIs are easier to use and prevent users having to deal with a number of different BAPIs. Whenever possible, a standardized BAPI must be used in preference to an individual BAPI.
The following standardized BAPIs are provided:
Reading instances of SAP business objects
GetList ( ) With the BAPI GetList you can select a range of object key values, for example, company codes and material numbers.
The BAPI GetList() is a class method.
GetDetail() With the BAPI GetDetail() the details of an instance of a business object type are retrieved and returned to the calling program. The instance is identified via its key. The BAPI GetDetail() is an instance method. BAPIs that can create, change or delete instances of a business object type
The following BAPIs of the same object type have to be programmed so that they can be called several times within one transaction. For example, if, after sales order 1 has been created, a second sales order 2 is created in the same transaction, the second BAPI call must not affect the consistency of the sales order 2. After completing the transaction with a COMMIT WORK, both the orders are saved consistently in the database.
Create( ) and CreateFromData! ( )
The BAPIs Create() and CreateFromData() create an instance of an SAP business object type, for example, a purchase order. These BAPIs are class methods.
Change( )
The BAPI Change() changes an existing instance of an SAP business object type, for example, a purchase order. The BAPI Change () is an instance method.
Delete( ) and Undelete( ) The BAPI Delete() deletes an instance of an SAP business object type from the database or sets a deletion flag.
The BAPI Undelete() removes a deletion flag. These BAPIs are instance methods.
Cancel ( ) Unlike the BAPI Delete(), the BAPI Cancel() cancels an instance of a business object type. The instance to be cancelled remains in the database and an additional instance is created and this is the one that is actually canceled. The Cancel() BAPI is an instance method.
Add<subobject> ( ) and Remove<subobject> ( ) The BAPI Add<subobject> adds a subobject to an existing object inst! ance and the BAPI and Remove<subobject> removes a subobject from an object instance. These BAPIs are instance methods.

Bdc to Bapi
The steps to be followed are :
1. Find out the relevant BAPI (BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE for VA02).
[for VA01 use BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2]
2. Create a Z program and call the BAPi (same as a Funtion module call).
2. Now, if you see this BAPi, it has
-> Importing structures.
eg: SALESDOCUMENT: this will take the Sales order header data as input.
-> Tables parameters:
eg: ORDER_ITEM_IN: this will take the line item data as input.
Note :
Only specify fields that should be changed
Select these fields by entering an X in the checkboxes
Enter a U in the UPDATEFLAG field
Always specify key fields when changing the data, including in the checkboxes
The configuration is an exception here. If this needs to be changed, you need to complete it again fully.
Maintain quantities and dates in the schedule line data
Possible UPDATEFLAGS:
U = change
D = delete
I = add
Example
1. Delete the whole order
2. Delete order items
3. Change the order
4. Change the configuration
Notes
1. Minimum entry:
You must enter the order number in the SALESDOCUMENT structure.
You must always enter key fields for changes.
You must always specify the update indicator in the ORDER_HEADER_INX.
2. Commit control:
The BAPI does not run a database Commit, which means that the application must trigger the Commit so that the changes are read to the database. To do this, use the BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT BAPI.
For further details... refer to the Function Module documentation for the BAPi.
Bapi to VB(Visual Basic)
Long back I had used the following flow structure to acheive the same.
Report -> SM59 RFC destination -> COM4ABAP -> VB.exe
my report uses the rfc destination to create a COM session with com4abap. com4abap calls the vb.exe and manages the flow of data between sap and vb exe.
You need to have com4abap.exe
If com4abap is installed you will find it in sapgui installatin directory , C:\Program Files\SAPpc\sapgui\RFCSDK\com4abap.
else refer OSS note 419822 for installation of com4abap
after making the settings in com4abap to point to the vb program and setting up rfc destination in sm59 to point to com4abap session , you can use the following function modules to call the vb code.
for setting up com4abap and rfc destination please refer to the documentation for com4abap.

BAPI - BAPIs (Business Application Programming Interfaces) are the standard SAP interfaces. They play an important role in the technical integration and in the exchange of business data between SAP components, and between SAP and non-SAP components. BAPIs enable you to integrate these components and are therefore an important part of developing integration scenarios where multiple components are connected to each other, either on a local network or on the Internet.
BAPIs allow integration at the business level, not the technical level. This provides for greater stability of the linkage and independence from the underlying communication technology.
LSMW- No ABAP effort are required for the SAP data migration. However, effort are required to map the data into the structure according to the pre-determined format as specified by the pre-written ABAP upload program of the LSMW.
The Legacy System Migration Workbench (LSMW) is a tool recommended by SAP that you can use to transfer data once only or periodically from legacy systems into an R/3 System.
More and more medium-sized firms are implementing SAP solutions, and many of them have their legacy data in desktop programs. In this case, the data is exported in a format that can be read by PC spreadsheet systems. As a result, the data transfer is mere child's play: Simply enter the field names in the first line of the table, and the LSM Workbench's import routine automatically generates the input file for your conversion program.
The LSM Workbench lets you check the data for migration against the current settings of your customizing. The check is performed after the data migration, but before the update in your database.
So although it was designed for uploading of legacy data it is not restricted to this use.
We use it for mass changes, i.e. uploading new/replacement data and it is great, but there are limits on its functionality, depending on the complexity of the transaction you are trying to replicate.
The SAP transaction code is 'LSMW' for SAP version 4.6x.
Check your procedure using this Links.
BAPI with LSMW
http://esnips.com/doc/ef04c89f-f3a2-473c-beee-6db5bb3dbb0e/LSMW-with-BAPI
For document on using BAPI with LSMW, I suggest you to visit:
http://www.****************/Tutorials/LSMW/BAPIinLSMW/BL1.htm
What are the methods to migrate data from a legacy system to SAP?
LSMW is used for migrating data from a legacy system to SAP system, or from one SAP system to another.
Apart from standard batch/direct input and recordings, BAPI and IDocs are available as additional import methods for processing the legacy data.
The LSMW comprises the following main steps:
Read data (legacy data in spreadsheet tables and/or sequential files).
Convert data (from the source into the target format).
Import data (to the database used by the R/3 application.
But, before these steps, you need to perform following steps :
Define source structure : structure of data in the source file.
Define target structure : structure of SAP that receives data.
Field mapping: Mapping between the source and target structure with conversions, if any.
Specify file: location of the source file
Of all the methods used for data migration like BDC, LSMW , Call Transaction which one is used most of the time?
How is the decision made which method should be followed? What is the procedure followed for this analysis?
All the 3 methods are used to migrate data. Selection of these methods depends on the scenario, amount of data need to transfer. LSMW is a ready tool provided by SAP and you have to follow some 17 steps to migrate master data. While in BDCs Session method is the better choice because of some advantages over call transaction. But call transaction is also very useful to do immediate updation of small amout of data. (In call transaction developer has to handle errors).
SO Bottom line is make choice of these methods based of real time requirements.
These methods are chosen completely based on situation you are in. Direct input method is not available for all scenario, else, they are the simplest ones. In batch input method ,you need to do recording for the transaction concerned. Similarly, IDoc, and BAPI are there, and use of these need to be decided based on the requirement.
Try to go through the some material on these four methods, and implement them. You will then have a fair idea about when to use which
You can create lsmw for data migration as follows (using session method):
Example for xk01 (create vendor)
Initially there will be 20 steps but after processing 1 step it will reduced to 14 for session method.
1. TCode : LSMW.
2. Enter Project name, sub project name and object name.
Execute.
3. Maintain object attributes.
Execute
select Batch Input recording
goto->Recording overview
create
recording name.
enter transaction code.
start recording
do recording as per ur choice.
save + back.
enter recording name in lsmw screen.
save + back
Now there will be 14 steps.

Upload Property Master Data through LSMW

I am using the following BAPI to upload the Property Data through LSMW.
Business Object: BUS1502
Method: CREATE
Message Type: BUS1502_CREATE
Basic Type: BUS1502_CREATE03
There are two issues which needs to be addressed and hope that this forum can help me out.
1. In this BAPI, i dont see the field mapping for Company Code and Business Entity, both mandatory fields for creating a Property record.
2. Skipping the first step, i reached the step "Start IDoc Generation" in LSMW and get the following error.
EDI: Table passed to EDI_SEGMENTS_ADD_BLOCK is empty.
Anyone encountered these issues? Suggestions to resolve these issues?
Hamdan

Hello Hamdan,
First of all, good decision to use BAPI + LSMW it is the best way to load DATA specifically in REFX. Here's answer to your questions.
1. Pass Company code, BE, other header level fields in E1BUS1502_CREATE structure. This is the main Header structure of the Baisc type you are using. Create source structure with these fields and mapp it to the BAPI fields and you are all set.
2. Check the EDI_DC40 element, or other structures if you are passing values. SAP/System will fill/populate these values on its own, do not pass any values example in fields DOCNUM, CREDAT, etc.
Good luck,
Jag

Error while uploading data in SAP (me01)using LSMW

Hi All,
I am using LSMW for the first time.
I am trying to upload data to the Source List transaction (me01) using batch input recording. I created a new recording through LSMW itself. My source structure consists of 5 fields:
<b>MATNR C(18)
WERKS C(4)
VDATU N(8)
BDATU N(8)
LIFNR C(10)
EKORG C(10)</b>
Now the problem is when i try to convert the data, it gives me an error saying
"For type "C",a maximum length specification of 65535 is allowed."
I have noticed that unlike Direct Input method,
using batch input does not give any fields in "Maintain Field Mapping & Conversion Rules". So even if I have my fields in my source structure ,there are no fields to which I can map them to.
I don't know that is how it is when we go with batch input.
My file contain data in following order:
DANGEROUS GOODS,ABBY,20060801,20060831,30010,TEST
Pls help me to solve this problem.

Hi Swapna!
You get such an error message, when define a constant and forget the second ':
g_werks = '1000. "wrong
g_werks = '1000'. "correct
In general: a batch input recording can have fixed values and some variables. You need to define, which fields you like to fill with a variable. Go to the overview of the recordings, open the recording in change mode and assign some variable names to the according batch lines.

Follow the help for the following steps of structure assignments.
