Uploading MIC's in qp01.

Question

hello,
     I have to creat a LSMW or BDC program to upload master inspection charactoristics .
     i have done recording for seven MIC's . So system is taking all  7 mic's data while uploading.
     There are some mandatory fields in each mic's . So  it will go for all 7 mic's demanding data values from data file.
     So when a material has 7 mic's . it is uploading data availble there in datafile for these 7 mic's. But when a material has only 4 mic's or 2 mic's or 6 mic's it is  asking for data for remaining mic's for that material, because recording was for 7 mic's 
     But requirement is like this .     When one material have 5 mic's  it should be uploaded . Next material has 3 mic's so only 3 mic's should be taken from data. And it should go for next material without demanding remaining mic's data.
     o.k.
     If anybody has done it previously , please give me suggestions how to achive this.
     Thanks in advance.

Hi Santosh,
If in case you want to use LSMW to upload IP with varying number of MIC in an operation you will have to create and execute 2 recordings.
Let us for example consider:
Mat-A --> OP-10 --> 0010-MIC-1
Mat-B --> OP-10 --> 0010-MIC-2,0020-MIC-3
Mat-C --> OP-10 --> 0010-MIC-1,0020-MIC-4,0030-MIC5
Mat-D --> OP-10 --> 0010-MIC-6,0020-MIC-4,0030-MIC7,0040-MIC-8
RECORDING 1
This recording should create IP for all Materail with 1 MIC assigned to the operations.
At the end of the BDC execution, we have -
QP01:Mat-A --> OP-10 --> 0010-MIC-1
QP01:Mat-B --> OP-10 --> 0010-MIC-2
QP01:Mat-C --> OP-10 --> 0010-MIC-1
QP01:Mat-D --> OP-10 --> 0010-MIC-6
As there is Single Item for all Materials,there will have no problem.
RECORDING 2
This recording should call IP already created in change mode and add 1 MIC to the operation and save.
QP02:Mat-B --> OP-10 --> 0020-MIC-2 & save
QP02:Mat-C --> OP-10 --> 0020-MIC-4 & save
QP02:Mat-C --> OP-10 --> 0030-MIC-5 & save
QP02:Mat-D --> OP-10 --> 0020-MIC-4 & save
QP02:Mat-D --> OP-10 --> 0030-MIC-7 & save
QP02:Mat-D --> OP-10 --> 0040-MIC-8 & save
In the Material where there are multiple MIC, in the txt file it should be included twice with changed Characteristic No. (0010,0020 etc).
With these 2 recordings such single header multiple items records can be updated using LSMW. Please get back if this is not clear !
Thanks,
