Data Upload and method

[Former Member]

Hi,

-What are transaction other than LSMW to upload the data(other than BDC)?

-How would you add new field in vendormaster ?

-Since the data is already present in the system, what will happen when you upload the same data?

-If the data is added to existing data what are the transactions to delete the old data?

Thanx.

if you are concerened about all those issues you can better program an import with a BAPI designed for maintaining vendors I gues something like BAPI_VENDOR* will give you something in SE37

the advantage of using BAPIS is that the bapis normally have checks build in which you ask in you're guestions . further nice thing is that LSW's can become obsolete if screennumbers are changed in the meantime (which happend at our system with the materialscreen mm02)

(hmmm when I look at BAPI_VENDOR_CREATE I don't see many fieldvalues you can import , perhaps someone else knows a better one?)
