LSMW with multiple source files using direct input method

Former Member — Wed, 12 Aug 2020 16:00:09 GMT

Dear experts,

I would like to use multiple sources files during a single direct input session.

Reading them is quite simple but converting them and using them in a direct input session is more of a challenge for me.

Here is how I set up my LSMW

Step 1

Step 2 :

Step 3 :

Step 4 :

Step 5 :

Step 6 :

Step 7 :

Step 8 :

Thank you,

If these are different unrelated files, you can't do what you ask. You may have several structures only to combine them. Expl: headers and lines. You cannot do a "union" of files.

You should simply create 2 distinct LSMW subobjects.

Thank you for the quick answer.

These are indeed unrelated files.

In my scenario I have in fact 7 files to process but I guess I will have to create 7 distincts LSMW subobjects which I would have liked to avoid.

sherif95250 Please paste my hyperlinked name so that I am informed of your message.

In your example, you had 2 files with each a different structure (MATNR length 15 or 20).

If you had some files with the same structure, you could run the LSMW via /SAPDMC/SAP_LSMW_INTERFACE for each file repeatedly with the same LSMW subobject (i.e. without changing the LSMW subobject).

sandra.rossi, I will indeed use the program /SAPDMC/SAP_LSMW_INTERFACE in a scheduled job to automate the whole process. Thanks.
