Loading PM Orders via LSMW

[Former Member]

Please help me.

I want to load PM Orders, but I don't want to use recording (LSMW), because it's too difficult to load substructures.

The way, that use recording, need in a few recording.

Is there another way for solving this task?

Hi Raj Gopal and thank you for helping!

I didn't use BDC earlier. Can you explain how to use this method for uploading PM orders?

Dragon Black,

In essence, BDC mimics what the user does.

However, BDC is old technology and is usually the last option to use when mass updating objects. This is mainly because it often fails when it comes across messages/popups/etc that it cannot process.

The LSMW and CATT options are probably the most common methods for mass uploads.

You don't say why LSMW isn't working for you??

Peter Atkin,

I didn't use CATT earlier.

LSMW (recording) isn't working for me, because transaction IW31 for substructures of order (operations, components, etc.) haven't buttons "Position..." or "New Entries".

If this buttons be, it will be possible to load main body with IW31 recording, and then add one position or one component with recording IW32 (may be need add first row of table in IW31 (during creating) or another IW32 recording for first row).

But in this case record will have

field1(001)

field2(001)

field1(002)

field2(002)

and template for uploading will be very bad

field1(001)     field2(001)     field1(002)     field2(002)

I think BHDC (BDC) have the same problems as recordings (i don't see difference between).

May be I don't know some helpful and useful things and tricks?

I found "Next Page" and "Last Page" buttons, this way equal to way with others buttons.

It let every time to write a second row.

Hi Dragon,

The provided program is developed, tested and working in our company.

Simply copy the program and modify according to your costing activity, it should work
