LSMW errors

[Former Member]

Dear all,

I've created a LSMW (following these steps ), but the LSMW will not work, it keeps overriding on line item 20. When I start the batch, it will show me in the screen an error and aftering entering through all the line items, line item 20 is similar to the last line item in my file (even though this should be line item 60). The rest of the file has not been put in the line items. It is a LSMW for adding materials to an existing contract (ME32K) with 1 dummy material in the items overview. The following mapping has been done:

Your help is much appreciated...

Static recordings are not suitable to manage variable number of items.

You better use the SAP given import methods which can be found with F4 in LSMW step 1 to either one of the other 3 import methods beside of a recording.

Hi,

When ever you go for the LSMW , and doing the recording , for the transaction ME32K , initailly system will ask the aggrement number and after you provide it , system will leads to the item over view screen . In the item over view screen system need to know which is the last item to get updated with a new record of material in the next line . Your LSMW is getting failed at stage i believe .

Try do a fresh recording with after you enter the aggrement number , and in the item over screen , try capture by Pressing the CREATE icon in the recording so that system will lead the cursor at that new line and enter the material and qty and price and pressing enter will cature that screen and pass on another screen and save the document . Take out the recording and do the mappings after you create source fields and prepare the file and try the upload . Every record will be a new save to the OA in this method .

Regards,
