Hi Ramanathan and welcome to SDN!
Everything depends on your settings in a flexible upload method.
You may use a comment character (like an asterisk) to show fields names and choose a fields delimiter (say, ';').
In this case you may have a file for upload something like the following.
These are fields in a header
Field1 Field2 Field3 Field4 etc.
Field1Val;Field2Val;Field3Val;Field4Val
These are fields in rows
Field5 Field6 Field7 Field8 etc.
Field8Val;Field8Val;Field8Val;Field8Val
Field8Val;Field8Val;Field8Val;Field8Val
Field8Val;Field8Val;Field8Val;Field8Val
Best regards,
Eugene

    Suppose the presentation server is running under Windows NT, and contains the following Excel file:
    If this table is saved as a text file "D:\temp\mytable.txt" with tabs between the columns, the following program can read the table:
    PROGRAM SAPMZTST.
    DATA: FNAME(128), FTYPE(3), FSIZE TYPE I.
    TYPES: BEGIN OF LINE,
             COL1(10) TYPE C,
             COL2(10) TYPE C,
             COL3(10) TYPE C,
           END OF LINE.
    TYPES  ITAB TYPE LINE OCCURS 10.
    DATA: LIN TYPE LINE,
          TAB TYPE ITAB.
    CALL FUNCTION 'UPLOAD'

    SKIP.
    LOOP AT TAB INTO LIN.
       WRITE: / LIN-COL1, LIN-COL2, LIN-COL3.
    ENDLOOP.
    The program displays the following dialog box:
    Here, the user can change the default values. When the user chooses Transfer, the system imports the data from the file D:\temp\mytable.txt into the internal table TAB.
    The output appears as follows:
    SY-SUBRC: 0
    Name : d:\temp\mytable.txt
    Type : DAT
    Size : 69

    The contents of the internal table TAB are exactly the same as the contents of the original Excel table.

  • Uploading Master Data using Flexible upload.

    Hi All,
    I am trying to post my current project scenario, in simple terms. Please guide me with inputs or pointers....
    I have two flat files
    File1, has - Emp Number, Emp Name, Emp Salary.
    FIle2, has - Emp Number, Emp SSN, Emp ph #, Short text, Medium text, Long Text.
    Now I need to upload these two flat files into an InfoObject(EmployeeNumber ). Such that Emp Number, Emp Name, Emp Salary, Emp SSN, Emp ph # - fields get into the EmployeeNumber InfoObject - Attributes table.
    And Short text, Medium text, Long Text gets into the Text table of the EmployeeNumber InfoObject.
    I think, this is an ideal scenario for flexible upload of master data. But I donno wat steps I need to follow to accomplish this. I would appreciate if someone can help me with a detailed solution or any pointers.
    Thanks
    -kiran
    ps : All useful replies will be awarded points.

    Hi Kiran,
    Welcome to SDN !!
    I believe you have already created the master data info-objects and assigned the attributes to the master data. Select short, medium and long text in the info-object definition.
    Next step would be to insert the master data (attributes and texts) as info-providers in the info-provider section of AWB. Go to the info-area -> right click -> insert characteristics as data target (select the info-object from the list) (you should switch on the text and master data in the definition itself).
    Next step, create two flat file info-sources for the two files. Create the update rules for the two info-sources and create the info-package to extract the master data.
    Hope it helps.
    Thanks

  • Master Data Flexible Upload from Application Server?

    Hi Group,
    Anyone know if it's possible to do a flexible upload of master data from a flat file on the application server?
    I'd like to upload FS items and hierarchies from the BCS app server into our development environment, then transport to QA & PROD.  We would obviously need some way to "save" after the upload was complete.
    In the workbench, I can right click--> execute on the flex upload method and get a pop-up for a workstation file.  In a data collection method, I can specify a logical file & filename, but I cannot choose master data (which might have allowed me to run a data collection method via the workbench).
    Anyone accomplished this before?  Or have any ideas if/how this is possible?
    Thanks,
    - Chris

    Hi Christopher,
    It is not possible to assign Flexible Upload Method with Master Data to be assigned to Data Collection Method.
    Flexible Upload with Master Data should be executed independently from Workbench.  This is system design.

  • Simple question on uploading reported Fin. data with Flexible upload

    Hi.
    I am trying to upload Rep. Fin. Data with Flexible upload. I found that the all CR item should have the number with - sign. Firstly I think that Dr/Cr sign field in FS item will work for deciding the sign of all number but it doesn't seem to be. Is my finding right?
    or do I missed something?.
    I just followed the help as below
    Data Entry
    Debit/Credit Sign
    You define a fixed debit/credit sign so that item values can be entered without the need for specifying the debit/credit sign (for example, in manual data entry or in flexible upload).
    ●     You enter a debit (plus/) sign for asset items and expense items.+
    ●     You enter a credit (minus/-) sign for equity and liability items and revenue items.
    When you enter item values, you only enter absolute amounts or quantities. When the values are written to the database, the system multiplies each entered value by the debit/credit sign of the item (and when applicable, by the debit/credit sign of the item's subassignment).
    If I missed anything, please advise me.
    If my finding is right, please let me know what is the use of DR/CR sign in FS item.

    Hi,
    Your findings are correct.
    Your may have (and may use) the sign of FS item and sign of MovementType. They may work during data load, in order to place data into database with the proper sign. That's all.

  • Can't upload files in Firefox, using flash uploader. Already reinstalled flash, works ok in Chrome.

    I have a website where I can upload files to the site's server utilizing Flash - I have the latest Firefox and the latest Flash plugin (uninstalled and reinstalled). But the upload is failing - I only get an "Unknown I/O message. but only in Firefox - Works ok in Chrome. I have already run the Adobe uninstall/reinstall process, and I have also tried running Firefox in Safe Mode and the problem persists.

    Hi Bilinbaja,
    I am not sure if you are using FTP to upload the files, however this error can sometimes refer to a hardware issue. Please try to toggle the hardware acceleration by right clicking on a item using the flash plug in and selecting settings.
    Please let us know if this improves the performance as well as if this also happens on other computers, or if it still happens after you delete cache and cookies. Each browser has its own cache, Firefox's cache may also be longer. [[How to clear the Firefox cache]]

  • SEM-BCS: Problems in Flexible Upload

    Good morning to you all!
    In SEM-BCS, for the equity and investments data we use to processes: the users can do it the Manual Entry or upload from a TXT file using the Flexible Upload Method.
    In the Flexible Upload Setting I had already try the three options available: Deleted Changed Ones; Overwrite, Do Not Modify (Delete All is not a option because it will erase the manual entries data) and they will accumulate the data entries in the file (same file, executed twice).
    Can anyone help me?

  • Flexible upload of profitcenter nodes from CSV is restructured after succes

    Hi;
    I'm having a problem with using flexible upload loading data center nodes into an existing structure. The result is that Inside that profit center hierarchy a node 1000 is created in which the nodes specified in the CSV file are created. It is found that the hierarchy structure is not maintained as the newly created nodes are created under earchother.
    Based on the idea that a hierarchy has been created as a profit center group with exactly the same structure it is not understoud why it is not possible to do this for the profit center. Additionally it demonstrates that the flexible upload function is understoud and is configured correctly. As well the file is properly setup.
    This website was used http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sem60/helpdata/en/62/f7e73ac6e7ec28e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
    I'm looking to understand why it is that the nodes are created differently for a profit center group then a profit center, It is suggested that the problem lies in the fact that the profit center was created and is under a specific configuration that does not allow me to add nodes to it.
    THis is the structure:
    H
    --N1
       --N2
          -- The node that is added here and one level below is placed under "N3 1000"
    --N3 1000
       --The node is added here
       --The child is added as a sibling
    It was noticed that N3 is labeled as 1000 which is the controlled area. When refering to the log it has been found that the CO area was automatically populated with 1000 dispite this not having been done in the CSV file. Therefore it is assumed that there is a relationship between the nodes being added to the 1000 node and the controlled area.
    Any suggestions are welcome. Would it be required to provide more detail with regards to the problem then please state this.

    Hi,
    IMHO, the culprit is a CO area set as an external attrbute int the hierarchy of PC and PCG.
    AFAIR, CO area might/must be a linked attribute to PC (see the last tabstrip in PC infoobject screen) and that's why it should be fixed in the ConsArea settings (and populated aotomatically durung the data load).
    If I were you I would try the following:
    - ask the basis guys make a backup copy of the system
    - delete CO Area from the external char of PC & PCG hierarchies
    - set CO Area as a linked attribute to PC & PCG (if it is really needed - very often it's not needed if CO area has just the only value (which is fixed in the ConsArea settings)). => NB => These changes are very significant for BW and it's not always possible to done without data deletion.
    - regenerate the BCS data basis (and probably the ConsArea).
    The 1st step is needed because SEM-BCS very often does not regenerate properly the data basis (it simply doesn't see the changes). In the forum topics I several times explained how to force the system to see these changes (just drag and drop any role in the definiton of the BCS data basis and the save it).
    This is (significant change in underlying properties of BW infoobjects) the main painpoint in changes BW for SEM-BCS. In my practice, unfortunately,  it required not less than several attempts (even with dumps). And unfortunately it may require the full data deletion in the cubes which play role in the data basis. It might be the main charge for the bad desifn of the BW structures for SEM-BCS.
    Hopefully, you'll avoid it.
    Good luck!

  • User defined field:item master

    Hi,
    In item master data, I want to create a user defined field which is linked to an external table wherein the end-user can automatically upload new item master details into the sap appl frm an external table.

    Dear Ayesha,
    As far as I understand, what you would like to do is the following :
    1. A user adds some data into an external table.
    2. The user defined Field in SAP B1 is automatically updated with the data in the external table.
    If you would like to achieve the above, then I would suggest you to use one of the following methods :
    1. DTW to import the tables' content.
    2. Import/export option from Excel
    3. or an Addon created via the SDK.
    If I understood the issue incorrectly, please let me know.
    Regards

  • SAP SEM-BCS demo or practical scenario

    Hi!
    I have first experience working with SAP BI and have implemented several BI demo scenarios in SAP BI 7.0.
    Now I would like to implement a SEM-BCS scenario.
    I have a SAP ERP 2005 IDES system and SAP NetWeaver BI 7.0 system.
    Can some one recommend how to getting started in this area?
    - SDN blogs
    - SAP courses
    - other suitable documentations
    Any helpful informatio will be very appreciated and awarded by points
    Thank you

    I concur with Dan.
    Additionally, you may use sap help:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sem60ep1/helpdata/en/62/f7e73ac6e7ec28e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
    Though, without a practice in the system I doubt that it we'll be helpful.
    Some blogs. Actually, for beginners, one that I know is here:
    /people/sap.user72/blog/2006/07/21/how-to-upload-hierarchy-and-master-data-of-fs-items-in-sap-sem-bcs-40-by-using-flexible-upload-method
    I didn't see any good documentation (books nincluded) yet.
    And certainly the forums dedicated to consolidation. One within the active ones is that were you are now.

    please send me any FAQ's from interview presepevtive.I would appriceiate if any body respond to this post.
    It would be very great helpful for me.
    what are the impaortant areas we need to cover.
    Please ahre ur vies on this.
    Will assign the points.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi SAPSEM,
    From your past posting I understand you are good in BW. Hence know well the distinction between basic cube, transcational cube, virtual cube and what context it is used.  You must know why the reporting is prepared on VC. Cover the BCS  dataflow, data stream ,reporting, performance, consolidation area properties, method/task/document type. Try to know well the master data part of BCS well.
    Good BCS literatures is available in service.sap.com, but most exhaustive one is help.sap.com.
    Compliments…

  • New GL features (Profit Center Segmentation) in SEM-BCS

    Experts,
    I'm planning to use New GL feature (Profit Center Segmentation) in ECC 6. I also intent to use SEM-BCS as consolidation report.
    Can this New GL feature be used in SEM-BCS? Please let me know how to use them in SEM-BCS.
    Thank you for your respond.

    Sorry I was away.
    I am in ECC 6 and the New GL report gives Profi center report . But I ca get the comfort like 8A ledger with drill down.
    My doubt is will the new GL report takes care of all CO related transactions w/o GL?
    Thanks, Chitra

  • Flexible Upload of master data including attributes - error at new attrib.

    Dear all,
    trying to use the flexible upload for loading master data with attributes the system aborts if there new values have to be created for attributes, e.g. New Business Unit has region FR, Region FR actually does not exist as key. Therefore at first the value for Region has to be created within BCS and after that the load of the new Business Unit will be successful.
    Does anybody know if it possible or which seeting within the upload customizing must be chosen that the new attribut value automatically could be created during upload of the main characteristic?
    Kind regards
    Dieter

    Hello Dieter,
    your first way was the right way - befor you can upload Business Units with attribut FR you have to create the attribute in BCS.
    It is not possible to create master data for two different characteristics in one flexible upload method.
    In the definition of the upload method you have to choose which characteristic you try to upload...
    best regards
    Thomas
