LSMW - direct input method

[Former Member]

Hello,

I have to 2 files (header_data.txt and item_data.txt) to upload of sales order transcation and we decided to use direct input method using LSMW. Now I have few doubts

1) How can I relate the header_data record to the item_data record ?

2) if possible please send me the document/ppt/..etc for creation LSMW using the direct input method ?

Thanks a lot in advance

Hi,

You need two files in this case.

The First one will have Header Details. The second one will have Item details.

You need Key fields linking both the files.

The files are then mapped to corresponding structures.

If you are creating a document by recording, you may have to adopt slightly different approach. The creation of the document with first line item in first step. this is done in CREATE mode. In the second step you add the line items in CHANGE mode.

) Source structure definition

I define several structures (head level / line level)

ART_HEAD Article E1BPE1MATHEAD

5 ART_SITE Logistic view source E1BPE1MARCRT

ART_MBEW Article Valuation E1BPE1MBEWRT

(Sorry, can't see correctly the copy, but art_site is below art_head and can contain several sites for one article)

2) Maintain source fields

Group your fields into header and line values. In both strucutes one identifier is needed:

ART_HEAD Article E1BPE1MATHEAD

IDENT C(010) Structure Identifier 1

Identifing Field Content: HEAD

HEAD_MATERIAL C(018) Article number

Assign all needed fields, double click on field IDENT, you will see attribute 'Identifying field content'.

3) Maintain Structure relations

Header fields of BAPI (or whatever method you use) your head-structure has to be assigned, line (tables) input has to be assigned to line-structure.

4) Field mapping: quite normal

5) Import file example (tabulator separated text file):

HEAD 1000014 20050706 OR

LINE 5334667 15 ST 23,15 EUR

LINE 5334669 20 ST 15,89 EUR

HEAD ....

LINE ....

LINE ....

LINE .... and so one

Please read thro' the LSMW online documentation which explains in detail.

Hope this helps you.
