Lsmw Step By Step Guide Update Three Fields

However, for the purposes of demonstration, I have made it detailed.

Business Object 0050 is already pre-defined in the system with standard Batch Input Interface Program RFBIDE00.

Create an Object CUSTOBJ within Project as LSMWDEMO and Subproject as CUSTOMERS as shown in Figure 20.

Figure 20 LSMW Object with Standard SAP Object Note For the Demo example 2, I will list only those steps that are different from the first demo example.

Enter Object 0050 for Customer Master records and default method 0000 and click on Save.

The easiest way is to click on Table Maintenance icon to enter Fieldname, Type and Length for each field as shown in Figure 9.

Lsmw Step By Step Guide Update Three Fields

Figure 9 Source fields of source Structure Note that your input file will have four fields as key fields and you need to update three fields in the system.

However, in addition, the Standard Object 0050 also requires updates to BGR00, BKN00 and BKNA1 structures.

In all, you need to create relationship for four target structures.

Create relationship between source structures XD02S with these target structures with icon Create Relationship.

Keep Cursor on these four target structures and click on icon Create Relation and structure relations are maintained as shown in Figure 22.

Figure 26 Field Mapping and Conversion Rules Save and go back to main screen.

The input file is a Tab delimited with the first row as field names.

It is present on my PC (local drive) as C:XD02.txt.

See Figure 13.).

You have the option to read only selected rows and convert data values to Internal format.

If required, you can review the field contents for the rows of data read.

Based on the conversion rules defined, source fields are mapped to target fields.

Earlier, creating this input file, so that the standard interface program can read it, was a big nightmare, the primary reason being that it could have multiple record layouts.

Even for a simple conversion with one input record, you would have to create this complex file with many record layouts.

The advantage of LSMW is that it prepares these multi-layout files automatically.

Figure 28 Create BDC Session Figure 29 BDC Session CUSTOBJ created.

Executing a batch input session is a standard SM35 transaction for managing BDC sessions.

Once you have successfully executed the batch input session, the customer master records are updated in the system.

You can confirm this by viewing the customer master records (XD03).

Note Browsing thru these 14 steps, you may get a feeling that this is a very lengthy and time-consuming activity.
