Master Data Creation - Generic Program

Former Member — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 16:04:21 GMT

Hi Gurus,

I'm trying to find a way to avoid the usage of LSMW for customer and vendor master data creation; according with the specified account group, I read the table T007D (for the Customers) fields for Generic, Company and Sales Area Data, and then I made my own BDC_DATA code structure.

The problem is that I don't exactly know which position of the colums FAUSA, FAUSF and FAUSV corresponds to which Master Data Fields. Where do I find this Mapping? Is the mapping defined in the SAP ABAP code or there is an internal mapping table?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Cheers,

Nuno A.

E mean T077D and not T007D!

So SAP go to all that trouble and expense of making a tool that saves hours of expensive development, and you want to avoid using it?

Why?

I'd also like to know why you don't want to use LSMW. Many years ago, I successfully did exactly what you're trying to here using that tool.

The link between the position of the +-. characters in the FAUS-Fields and the field names lies in the TMOD-Tables. Have a look around, you'll find out.

The problem, indeed, is not the LSMW. I was wondering if it would be easy to develop that kind of tool using ABAP.

However, if it is possible to do that using the LSMW, I would try it. One question about the LSMW, how can I obtain the information of the tables T077D and TMOD*? Do I have to put ABAP code in the 5th LSMW step "Maintain Field Mapping and Conversion Rules"?

Thanks,
