Validations at LSMW

Shall we make validations in LSMW? IF yes where we can make ?

hi,
check out step 6..
In this step you can process the reusable rules of a project:
Fixed value: Here you can specify length, type, flag for lowercase/uppercase and value in addition to the description.
Translation: Here you can enter information on the source field and the target field:
If you are creating a new translation you have to save data before you can change to Control information.
Control information: Here you can define the translation type. You can specify which of the two translation tables will be searched for a value first and which alternative will be selected, if no suitable entry is found:
1:1 translation values: Here you specify the value table to be used during translation. You may also upload the values from a PC file (text separated by tabs). In addition, F4 help is available in column "New value".
important
During translation, only values for which the OK flag was set are included.
Interval translation values: Here you specify the value table to be used during translation by intervals. You may also upload the values from a PC file (text separated by tabs). In addition, F4 help is available in column "New value".
important
During translation, only values for which the OK flag was set are included.

Validation in lsmw

hi all,
plzz let me know how to perform these validations in LSMW:
1)EKORG should be either of the two: JP10/ICP5 in the txt file
2)NORMB or LOHNB Mandatory
It has to be set either one of them.means any one of them must be present in input txt file
3)MEINS should be set optional

Hi,
do validation in 5th step .
once u enter the 5th step double click on the field i.e EKORG once u double click then it will take to the ABAP aditor once editor is open then write u r code as u want.
in the 5th step otself there is one button called RULE in that also we can write the code

Reg Selectin screen validations in LSMW

Hi All,
         I am using LSMW batch input method. In this i have defined some fields as selection-screen fields in the Maintain Source fields step, such that these fiels would appear at the Read Data Step.
      Now I have to do validations for these fields which are defined as selection-screen fields.
     Can i know where these validations can be done and how?
Thanks & Regards
Rajesh.

The validations can be done during the 'Convert Data' step.
The code for validation should be entered in the 'Maintain Field Mapping and Conversion Rules' step. When you are in this mapping screen press CTRL + F7. Now select all the checkboxes in the popup and press enter. Now, you would see the processing-time blocks such as BEGIN_OF_PROCESSING, BEGIN_OF_TRANSACTION etc. You can put all your validations inside the BEGIN_OF_PROCESSING block.

Regarding LSMW validation & Debuging

Hi,
Is it possible to perform validations in LSMW?
If yes, kindly send me detailed description.
Waht is the procedure to debug LSMW?
Thanks & Regards,
sathish dasari.

Yes, it is possible to perform the validations in LSMW.
In the 5th step(Maintain field mapping), we have various processing blocks like Global data, begin of processing, begin of transaction, begin of record. You will get an abap screen when double click on the required block. write the what ever the code required for validations(like norma se38 program).
suppose if you find that the record is an erroneous, skip that record for processing (there is global function available in lsmw skip_transaction), then populate all such error records into one internal table, and you can download the same in end of processing block.
For every lsmw a conversion program will be generated, you can see the same by selecting the display conversion program in user menu.
put the break-point where ever required, it will be triggered duting the convert data step.
Thanks,
Rajinikanth

Performance Tuning in LSMW

Hi Can Anyone explain me how can we increase the performance of the LSMW when created with the recording.
Thanks a lot

Well, this is a response to a question that was asked 4 years ago...
We have a situation where
- 1.1 million equipment records are required to be loaded (historical installbase)
- DI mode is not suitable because we also have partner data
- customer wants pre-validations within LSMW (e.g. skip_transaction if sold-to party is invalid)
We proofed LSMW script of IE01 (object 0040, method 0001) and then created 4 additional copies. Changed name of imported data file and converted data file to sensible name such as IE01_01.lsmw.read.
We then carried out read data operation in batches of 50K records each (on each of those five scripts). Perform convert data operation as a background job, followed by create BI session operation as a background job.
In the end, we had 5 BDC sessions, each containing 50K records. Fire all at once using RSBDCSUB.
On a QA box (quite undersized - hosting HCM, ECC, CRM, SolMan), we got, for each operation of 50K records:
- about 1 hour for convert data (could be faster if validations were not there)
- about 10 minutes for create BDC session
- about 30 minutes to run the session
Give and take, in about 3 hours, 250K records are loaded.
Repeated the process another 4 times. Of course, there would be a better way, but this was the easiest we could think of.
That was tedious but we did it. Shall update the post again after we do a final run in production box. May be we can then consider 100K records or even more in one go.

In LSMW need field validation

Hi,
My requirement is adding fields to an existing structure in LSMW batch input method and performing validations on those fields as follows
       1. Alternative Priority                  should be numeric
       2. Alternative Starategy              should be numeric
                                                         and valid values are 1 2.
        3. Alt. Usage Probability             should be numeric with no decimals
                                                              and valid values are 0-100
Thanking u inadvance,

if you go to field mapping section(in change mode)
double clik on the field(where you see the mapping of your source field and the target field) which you need to write the condition, it will open up the editor to write the code. play around there you will get some idea.
if still you have problems let me know

Validity date of condition records (creation of info records using LSMW)

Hello gurus,
we would like to create info records using LSMW with one condition record (PB00). This works fine, we just are not able to influence the validity of the condition record, it's always "creation date until 31.12.9999".
We tried to maintain the fields BKONP-DATAB and BKONP-DATBI, but that did not change anything.
Any ideas on this?
Thanks
Alicia

Hello Jürgen
and thank you!
One additional question: When I import info records using LSMW, one condition record (PB00) is created automatically. Is it possible to change the validity of that condition record using LSMW, too? Or can I only create new condition records?
Thanks again
Alicia

LSMW VD51 , Validations in Begin of Transaction; how to Debug the code?

Hi All,
I have written code for validations i Begin of Transaction in the field mapping 5th step of LSMW for VD51.
Now this code not getting triggered at the time of Conversion of Data. How to debug the code. I have put a static break point 'BREAK-POINT' still not getting triggered.
Any suggestion / solution for this issue.
Thanks and Regards,
Narsimha Kulkarni

Hi Narshimha,
Make any mapping error during mapping and check the syntax of mapping it will drag you to the lsmw report there you can put your break point. You can check the report name from transaction code as well.
Remember this mapping block will execute when you execute the step Convert Data in LSMW.

Error in LSMW : Enter a Valid Value

Dear All,
I am Creating a LSMW for MM01 Transaction using Direct Batch Input Method
I got an error in LSMW while I start uploading saying "Enter a Valid Value" .
I am selecting 14 Views in a single LSMW.
Basic Data1 / Data2 , Purchasing , Foreign Trade : Import Data, MRP1,2,3 , General Plant 1/2 , Accounting 1 & 2 , Costing 1 & 2.
Can anybody tell me why I am getting that error.
Thanks in Advance.
Tulasi

Perform theses steps
- In LSMW read and convert only one entry from file
- go to SM35 -> select your session with that one entry
- select process , option process/foreground
- choose process
You will have that batch input run in the foreground, so you can see all the values entered to certain input fields and all the actions which take place in that screens. This way you should see which step excatly creates the error.

Validating material types in LSMW

Hi Experts,
 How do we vaqlidate material types in LSMW.
what are the kind of problems generally we get doing LSMW.
Thanks,
Naren,

material types are stored in table T134.
so we will write a SELECT to know,its a valid or not.
SELECT SINGLE MTART INTO V_MTART
 FROM T134
 WHERE MTART = ZSOURCE-MTART.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
*--ITs a valid Material type
BMMOO-MTART = ZSOURCE-MTART.
else.
*--Invalid material type,its an error.
SKIP_RECORD. <--this SKPS the current record,as there is no meaning to process this error record.
ENDIF.

Pricing How to shorten validity period of conditon record throgh LSMW ?

Friends:
We have to shorten validity period of conditon record. We have records expiring in 2015. We have new pricing which i am planning to load through LSMW but before i load new prices i need to clean up reocrds expiring in 2015 through LSMW. Does any know how to clean up these records or shorten this records ?
Vanbills

Hi Vanbills,
You need not do anything to shorten the pricing validity dates.
Just upload your new prices using LSMW. System will automatically shorten the validity dates.
Example :
Existing Pricing record - PR00 - 100 USD - from 01.01.2008 to 31.12.2015
if you are creating a new pricing record today - PR00 - 120 USD - from 01.05.2009 to 31.12.2010
system will automatically shorten the previous record.
It means your existing record will become - PR00 - 100 USD - from 01.01.2008 to 30.04.2009 and
new record will be PR00 - 120 USD - from 01.05.2009 to 31.12.2010
Hence just upload new prices....forget about shortening the old dates.

Krishnam Raju

How to add a new validity period to A016/KONP using LSMW?

Experts:

I need to add a new period in Contract(ME33K),
I already have a period item in contract like 01/01/2011~12/31/9999, 100,100.
I need to use LSMW,
1.change the period to 01/01/2011~01/01/2012,100,100
2.add a new period :01/02/2012~12/31/9999,100,105
I can do the first step beacuse there has value in table A016/KONP,but I can't do the second step,the field KNUMH is autocreated by system? I use BUS2014/PURCONTRACT_CHANGE
Please help!

Thanks for reply,
I have used these strcture for update,
E1BPMEOUTVALIDITY
E1BPMEOUTVALIDITYX
E1BPMEOUTCONDITION
E1BPMEOUTCONDITIONX
But there is a field SERIAL_ID I don't know what value I should put in.
Is it possible to use any function to create a serial_id? I konw it should be unique.
If I put space in,it doesn't work

LSMW Validation

Hi Friends,
I have a query in LSMW.
I am creating Materials using the recording of MM01.
I need to check a material already exists in SAP , before the session is called .
If material exists then that particular record from Excel should not be processed. I dont want to see the log for non processed items.It should be skipped at the LSMW level.
Please advice
Thanks and Regards,
Anoop

LSMW==> Maintain field mapping and conversion rules => For the session there is an event __BEGIN_OF_TRANSACTION__.
You could write your select * from mara where matnr = source-matnr. and validate the material exist or not.
If exists you can skip that loop using continue.
Hope this helps you.
Best wishes,
TM
