For which SAP modules is BODs most used.

[former_member201275]

I work in Sap HR module mostly and currently use third party tools for extraction, and standard tools like idocs, lsmw, etc. for importing.

My question is, is BODs used also in the HR module, or in which modules is it intended.

I have googled to try and find an answer but don't really get a definite reply.

Thank you kindly in advance.

Glen.

Hi Glen

  Yes. Its possible to use BODS for both extraction and loading of data both from SAP and Non SAP as both source and target and also SAP has standard Rapid Deployment Jobs (RDS) pre build jobs which can be directly used for loading of data in SAP as target.

You have to spend time only for extraction and transformation logic but loading of data RDS jobs are available which used IDOC's you need to map that it. Then data load will be taken care by BODS.

Detailed information on RDS content is available in below link.

Thanks and Regards

Hi,

I used BODS for SAP ECC and also using idocs and lsmw as well for loading. Well BODS, is well integrated to any SAP systems. You may migrate data using BODS from Legacy to SAP systems or even to disparate systems. Hope it helps.
