Some times, if you are processing in background / using batch input, the scren flow may vary. Hence try using by selecting the check box of SIMULATE IN BACKGROUND mode, while doing the recording. May be useful.

Also check the configuration settings of the ITEM CATEGORY, there might be some restriction I guess.....

There is something wrong with your input data I guess. The actual text from SE93 (ME / 512) is:

Item category & cannot be processed in batch input

The ampersand will be replaced by your item category from LSMW. Since this is character '/' (which is definitely not a valid type), you will get this error.

Hello,

I resolved the error as follows:

You need open the fiel PSTYP in Maintain Source Fields, because the field PSTYP for default asign the valor " /", after in the step 5 Maintain Field Mapping and Conversion Rules, assign the fields BEBAN-PSTYP

Hi Nag

Pls do the following:

1-) Go to LSMW and to go your project, then go to "Maintain Field Mapping and Conversion Rules"

2-) then go to the icon to modify and then search for the following field: PSTYP , and then hit the button "Constant" and then leave it in blank and hit ok

3-) Then you whant to search the field: VRTKZ and do the same process go to "constant" and then leave it blank and hit ok.

4-) then execute your normal process and i shouldnt give you the error messg

kind regards.
