Hi, I don't think so there will be any problem, if there is any problem system will intimate you, for updating large quantity of data LSMW is best tool.

Thanks,

But we have to be sure..Because we have some doubts about LSMW Records..

Maybe WE have to USE LSMW BAPI instead of LSMW record..????

Hi,

Don`t worry you do field mapping as well as give T-Code in LSMW and all the related obligatory fields are filled (in all the tables) then only records get uploaded (commit work happens) in respective tables. Otherwise system will warn you.

As far as data consistency is concern if you use standard object (provided by SAP) it assured that the same shall not cause any problem.

Hi,Choice is yours any one you can use depending upon you comfort, basically both are tools to migrate data to SAP system.

BAPI - BAPIs offer a stable, standardized interface for integrating third-party applications and components

LSMW - For migrating data from legacy system to SAP

whatever import method you use in LSMW, the result is supposed to be the same.

if you put garbage in, you get garbage out.

of course it is possible to create garbage from good data, if you create own rules with ABAP coding that violates the SAP practise.

Thanks all answers..

We actually do not create any ;ABAP code,Just we create LSMW record.But the transcaction MI04 is for inventory count you know.MAYBE MI04 must only use manually,WE must not use MI04 in LSMW..?

it is certainly possible to record MI04, but it is not a good approach, as SAP has a standard batch input method with MI34. so why should one reinvent the wheel?

further, why should one record in LSMW if SAP given import methods in LSMW for the same action are availabe. Recording is the LAST choice. and you have probably problems with the table controls.

Jürgen thanks a lot;

could you please Clarify which problem we can face if we use LSMW record, instead of MI04 manually.İF you know which tables we should check after using LSMW record ..İt is really important for us.

you can face numerouos errors while working in LSMW as an unexperienced amateur, but not really much once you processed the outcome of LSMW.

this can either fail and hence does not get posted, or it succesfully posted.

maybe you post the counted quantityfor material B to material A, but this can happen with entry error in MI04 too, with LSMW is just quicker and probably consistent for all records. to avoid this you have to seriously test what you are developing.

And if I had read your other posts well, then you have already counted, have all counts in Excel, so it is from my point of view not serious if you start developing a LSMW for this event now. This should have be done weeks or months ago.

if you want check what was posted. then you dont need to check tables, as you are not operating at table level, you only supply data to a transaction that takes care that the right tables are filled after the transaction was succesfully posted.

So it just enough to execute MI05 or MI06 to see how the data is after you are done with LSMW.

Jürgen thanks alot ,

We must inform you why it is important for us ,because İS;

i want to give more imfo why it is important for us.

The SAP consultnt claim that Using LSMw record affect the tables.

.And they want us exttra 7 days to ceraet a way to mass entry of inventory count. WE think that they cheat us..WE create LSMW record at DEV system and we did not seee any problem but we also did not control the tables ...

we see that there will not be any problem using LSMW record after chacking MI20;MI24,MI05,MI07...Thanks a lot really..

If system is not giving any error it most probably means there are no errors the errors are mostly introduced by business processes. I don't know what mean, when you say

but we also did not control the tables ...

SAP system won't let you control any standard tables in any legit way else system will lose it's integrity.
