BDC Data Transfer

[Former Member]

Dear Friends,

I need your help in this regard.

How to handle Table Control, while uploading records from the legacy system through the Tranaction code - ME21.

I got a list of items (materials) for the same Purchase Order, I need to upload this record into the SAP system under a single Purchase Order Number with the same Vendor.

Pls, help me in this regard . . .

If you are determined to use BDC, then use transaction SHDB to record a BDC session. Fill in some entries in the table control as you record and you will see how table control entries are referenced.

A BAPI might be a better choice. I could look for it but I bet some other SDNer's know the name.

Hi Dear Dinesh Kumar,

If your purpose is to create/change

purchase order and its multiple items,

you can also use BAPI

BAPI_PO_CREATE1

BAPI_PO_CHANGE

In this bapi, few tables have to be passed.

before passing we have to fill this tables

with the required details of the purchase order.

I have recently joined this sdn.

If you find this useful, pls give points.

Thanks & Regards,

Amit Mittal.

Hello,

As suggested by other friends usage of BAPI is preferred.

But still if you want to use a BDC there are couple of points to be noted:

1. Enter the first line item material in always second line of the table control. then choose menu option edit--> enter lines options to enter second line items. Now the table scrolls by one row and sets the cursor to the senond line of the table control.

2. Set CTU_PARAMS-DEFSIZE = 'X'.

I hope this helps you.
