Hi ,

I have a question related to functionality on file upload and file download. Can we use this for mass creation of material/bp? is there any standard guide to activate the functionality?

 

Thanks,

Swetha

Hi Swetha,

In File Upload, you have to prepare and load individual files from every single entity, and also language dependent text fields require a separate upload.

Both Material/BP models have too many entities - so file upload/download becomes very time-consuming. A better approach would be to follow the standard mass processing solution given by SAP. 

You can refer to the link here : https://www.sap.com/documents/2016/06/16148af5-797c-0010-82c7-eda71af511fa.html

 

Hope this helps!!

Hi Mallika, Thanks for replying to my questions. What I understand from here is, for mass update(changes in multiple fields) this standard mass process is helpful. However, my question is if we are creating data records( new records) than will this process be also helpful or we have to goto File upload option? Many Thanks,

Hi Shweta,

Your understanding is correct!

The most convenient way to create materials/bp in load is using consolidation processes. In case you do not want consolidation, you can also try for Data import framework.  These options will take less time and efforts compared to file uploads.
