Hi,

Here i got a scenario for the uploadation of MM01 in LSMW.

We have to maintain different views for different materials (e g for some materials we ll upload sales views and for some the MRPs and warehouse etc..).

So how to proceed for the same. And kindly give me the idea how to choose for a particular method for uploadation. We have all the datas in a flat file. We dont have any IDOCS for procesing.

I want to know in which circumstances we will choose for a Direct Ip or Recording Or BAPI.

Please tell me in details.

Thanks.

Hi,

In the direct input program, you have fields with which you can select the views for a material. just supply "X" for those fields in the structure. I mean BMM00 structure and XEIL1 and such fields.

go with via physical file

give the lock mode as 'E'

and execute

Selecting a particular method depends upon the complexity of ur program.

Like take the case of MM01 its very much difficult to upload the data for material master by recording the MM01 tcode and selecting the particular views. So its better to go for the standard DI method which is provided by sap.

Idoc method if you r having one interface between the systems and if u wanted to transfer the data from one system to other system through that interface with the use of lsmw then u will go with idoc method

BAPI. it is alwasy advisable to use the bapi method in lsmw if u get the standard bapi mentioned in the lsmw-bapi list. Because in recording data will be validated through number of screens then number of fileds where as in bapi n other methods data will be validate through set of code so this is much faster when compared to recording method.

I think i gave proper idea which method to choose. This is my explanation only if anything wrong in this sorry to answer..

Thanks Naveen,

for all your effort. I got some idea. But i dont ave any knowledge on BAPI or IDOC processing. Just give me a brief explanation for the use of these two. As i know we use IDOCS and BAPIs in distributed R/3 system, i e if we got the record in IDOCs then we ll choose for IDOCS. But tell me if i have the datas in a flat file or in a sequential file then how IDOC or BAPI ll help (the process) me in data migration.

Thanks agin.
