LSMW - target fields not there when using BAPI

[Former Member]

Hi all,

Im using LSMW to transfer legacy data to SAP.

I specified a bapi, but in LSMW, step 5 ( MAINTAIN FIELD MAPPING) there are some fields missing!! These fields ARE available in the BAPI interface but dont show up in the LSMW.

- i did check the layout to show initial fields also

Some facts:

I use Business Object DRAW - DOCUMENT_LOAD01 (which uses BAPI_DOCUMENT_LOAD).

The structure E1BP_CHARACTERISTIC_VALUES has fields

CLASSTYPE

CLASSNAME

CHARNAME

CHARVALUE

DELETEVALUE

but in LSMW only these fields are shown in step 5:

CLASSTYPE

CLASSNAME

CHARNAME

and guess what; i need to set the CHARVALUE..

any suggestions?

Thank

you,

Hi

Go to menu EXTRAS -> Layout

then check

first 5 options

That will solve your problem i think

HI,

Thank you for your reply.

it seems that an earlier modification where we changed teh length of 2 domains from char30 to char50 is the source for this weird behaviour.

The Busines Object somehow didint notic this change and so 2 x 20 chars are now lost. in these 40 chars there are the 2 last fields of the structure i mentioned.

so now i have the chalange how to modify, copy, adapt a B.O. so i can use it in LSMW

thanks

Joris
