LSMW for Asset Conversion - Batch Program

Former Member — Tue, 31 Jan 2006 04:52:30 GMT

I am using the standard batch program for an asset master conversion - RAALTD01.

I am preparing for a mid year conversion so I will have current year acquisitions comingled with assets acquired in a prior year.

I am having problems with an error being returned saying "Unexpected Record Type" which is B in BALTB. I suspect that the error is coming from the RCTYP field in BALTB auto populating with 'B' even though the asset being converted has an acquisition date in a prior year and is not related to a current year acquisition.

If anyone knows how to remove this B for a PY acquisition or disregard BALTB for an asset acquired in a prior year please let me know the correct configuration. My goal is to use the same program for Current Year and Prior year acquisitions. Otherwise I think I will need 2 load programs - one for PY assets and one for assets acquired in the current year.

Hi,

you can't use RAALTD01 for current year! - you'll become problems with your Asset History Sheet!, because you've to be careful to take tha right transaction type.

-> here i recommend you to program a batchinput for transactions as01 and abzo.

2) ...record type B is for baltb - so i don't understand that error ...

Andreas -

Thank you for your response. However, you can use RAALTD01 for current year. I have done it. You need to define the # of transactions in BALTD-BWCNT and Transaction type '100' in BALTB.

Currently I have one project for Prior year transactions that only uses BALTD. I have a second project for current year acquisitions using both BALTD and BALTB.

My issue is that I only want one project to handle both current year and prior year acquisitions. This is when I come up with the unexpected record type 'B'.

If anyone knows how/if this can be done let me know.

What do you mean by 'define the number of transactions'?
