Mass user update (validity date)

Former Member — Wed, 30 May 2012 17:54:43 GMT

Hello,

We've several hundred of users without "Valid From" date maintained in SU01. To complete the missing master data, we'd like to fill the "Valid From" date field with the account creation date. Examples:

- Account created = 23.04.2011 --> "Valid From" = 23.04.2011

- Account created = 11.12.2010 --> "Valid From" = 11.12.2010

....

To accomplish that task I wanted to use SU10 (Mass Changes), but in this case the use of SU10 isn't suitable as you can only change multiple user accounts with the same "Valid From" date at once (and not with different dates).

Does someone have another idea on how I could update the according user master data?

Thank you for your help!

I believe LSMW is your best option.

Hi,

You can also try SAP GUI scripting. Its easy, simple and works efficiently.

Thanks

Thank you! SAP GUI Scripting really seems to be an easy method. Didn't know that. I've just seen something else: RSANWB (Analysis Process Designer). That's obviously a powerful tool and maybe also an option to solve the problem I've described.
