LSMW Using BAPI

[Former Member]

I would like to use LSMW to change CRM Business Partner data via BAPI. I have located the correct BAPI to use, but I now need to perform the proper port config, Partner profile setup, etc. Does anyone have straightforward documentation on how to convert this BAPI so that it can be used by LSMW? The Bus. Object is BUS1006005, but it has not yet been prepared for use by LSMW. I have plenty of LSMW experience using BDC, so full LSMW documentation is not necessary. Thanks in advance for your help.

Kind Regards,

Jackie,

Thanks, the documents are good, however they do not describe steps needed to prepare BUS1006005 for use in LSMW. See, when Iook at it in BAPI Explorer, the ALE Message Type says "Does Not Exist." I am also having difficulty with port config, partner profile setup, etc. Thanks for your help.

BAPI or IDoc:

Start IDoc creation

Create IDoc overview

Start IDoc post-processing  

Using BAPI in LSM Workbench

We now go through a step by step process of realizing LSMW through a BAPI

Thanks for your response. The documentation that I am looking for is with regard to BAPI. The business object BUS1006005 (the one I need to use) is available (with the method I need) in the BOR, but it is not available in F4 help of LSMW Bus. Object Meth. When I look at the BAPI method in transaction BAPI, there is no ALE Message Type. The LSMW steps are straightforward, I am interested in knowing the steps for preparing the BAPI for use in LSMW.

Kind Regards,

Jason

Srinivas,

This is the best documentation so far, as steps 1 - 5 are what I am looking for. However, the bus. object I need still doesn't show on the Bus. Object dropdown in LSMW. I will be doing a mass change using a file on the pres. srvr. Any suggestions?

Regards,

Jason
