I am using the BMMH7 structure to update the PO text. This structure has a limitation of 132 characters for text line (TDLINE). As per our requirement, the PO text can be more than 132 characters.</P><P>So, in order to incorporate this, I changed the conversion program such that the BMMH7 conversion will happen in a loop. (I'm breaking the PO text into lines of 132 chars and performing the BMMH7 conversion (perform convert_0009) within the loop). </P><P>This is working as expected in the DEV system. However, when I transport the LSMW project into QA, the conversion program is getting regenerated, because of which the changes that I have made is lost. Is there any way to avoid this regeneration of the conversion program?</P><P>I can update the PO text alone as a separate process, upon the creation of the material master, through another program, but I want to complete the requirement in a single shot.</P><P>Please help.</P><P></P><P>Thanks,</P><P>Raj.</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 31 Aug 2009 04:54:59 GMT Former Member 2009-08-31T04:54:59Z Material master conversion - LSMW https://community.sap.com/t5/application-development-and-automation-discussions/material-master-conversion-lsmw/m-p/6115051#M1362908 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi,</P><P></P><P>I am uploading material master through direct input (RMDATIND).

Change the data in the flat file itself which you are passing to the LSMW.</P><P> Pass the text after 132 characters as a new record with TDFORMAT as '='.</P><P> So that the text will be displayed as a new line on the material master.</P><P></P><P>2. Make changes in teh field mapping step.</P><P> You will see at the end of the fields of BMMH7 you will have the transfer record.</P><P> After this transfer record add your code to append the remaning data to BMMH7 and once again call transfer record.</P><P> You will have to manage your looping logic over here only.</P><P></P><P></P><P></P><P>Regards,</P><P>Ankur Parab</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 31 Aug 2009 13:54:19 GMT https://community.sap.com/t5/application-development-and-automation-discussions/material-master-conversion-lsmw/m-p/6115052#M1362909 Former Member 2009-08-31T13:54:19Z
