Direct Input / Batch Input

Former Member — Thu, 17 May 2007 06:06:39 GMT

Hi,

In LSMW , There is a option for "Standard Batch/Direct Input".

And we have Program Type as Direct Input/Batch Input.

Can you pls tell me the difference between Direct Input/Batch Input?

I'm using RFBIBL00 prg. I have to load more than 100 line items per document.

and I see Program Type as "Diect Input". So for loading more line items will this Program and Program type help?

Pls help

Thanks

Hi,

Direct Input

With direct input, data from the data transfer file is first checked to see if it meets various criteria and then transferred directly into the R/3 System. The R/3 database is updated directly with the transferred data.

There are two ways to trigger direct input:

Start the program directly: Note that the system does not generate an error log, nor is it possible to restart the system if an error occurs.

Direct input in the background: In this case, you can restart processing if the program terminates or logical errors occur (material missing, for example). The ability to restart the system ensures that data cannot be posted twice to the database, as the program can be reset to where it terminated. Using the trace you can correct any errors that occurred.

Direct input also has the advantage that it places little load on the system.

You can transfer the following data transfer objects using the direct input method:

Material masters

Accounting documents

Sales documents

Fixed assets

Classification

If you are working with test data, start the direct input directly. For the final data transfer, SAP strongly recommends that you use Transaction BMVO.

Note that with background processing, the input file cannot be stored on the presentation server. Access to presentation server files is only possible when you are working online.

You can find further information on direct input in the Basis documentation BC - Basis Programming Interfaces.

Activities

On the initial screen of the Data Transfer Workbench, enter the logical or physical name of the transfer file into which you have converted your legacy data.

Choose Goto ® Execute data transfer.

The system displays the transaction for direct input (Transaction BMV0).

Further steps to be taken depend on the transfer object and are therefore included in the object-specific documentation.

Hi,

pls go through

When you use the batch input procedure, the system creates a batch input session containing the legacy data, and automatically processes this session. This method supplies the legacy data transaction of the Asset Accounting (FI-AA) component with data. The system writes any transfer records that have errors to an error session for later manual processing.

Legacy Data Transfer Using Direct Data Input Procedure (Program RAALTD11)

When you use the direct data input procedure, the system writes the legacy transfer data directly to the appropriate tables in the Asset Accounting component. The system writes any assets that have errors to an error file. This procedure normally offers improved performance, as compared to the batch input procedure. However, there are certain limitations as regards the input data and errors.

for use of BAPI,

use of idoc in lsmw,

pls reward if it helpful

Thanks
