In this IMG activity, you define the way in which the system performs the transfer of master data from other systems (i.e. from your legacy systems)

Recommendation

You should use the direct input procedure for the automatic transfer.

This means that you use all internal sytem checks. In addition, this method guarantees that only correct data is transferred.

Indentifying Relevant Fields

  1. Compare your legacy data with the data fields of the SAP System.
  2. Find out which fields can be transferred directly from the legacy data to the SAP System.
  3. In the case of fields that cannot be directly supplied with data from the legacy data, you need to create rules in order for it still to be possible to fill the SAP system fields with data.
  4. Decide whether you want to transfer your legacy data automatically or manually.

Processing the Transfer Structure

  1. Extract the data to be transferred from the source system by means of a self-defined program, and write the data to a sequential file.
  2. In order to use the SAP data structure definitions in your legacy system, you can run a record layout generator.

    This generates an Include in one of the programming languages of your choice: COBOL, C, PL/1, or ASSEMBLER.

Record Layout Description

The following table structures are used for the record layout description

  • BGR00     Session record
  • B60BL     Item data
  • B60ET     Schedule line data
  • B60C1     Characteristic data

The following types of data can be transferred:

  • Item data

Structure    Meaning

E60BL    Planned indep. requirements item data:

    Contains material number,

    plant, requirements type, active ind.,

    information structure/key figure (SIS)

    (not relevant for MRP)

  • Schedule line data

Structure    Meaning

E60ET    Planned indep. reqmts schedule line data:

    Contains period indicator

    see table TPRG (e.g. M for month,

    date and quantity)

    BOM explosion number, production version

  • Characteristic data

Structure    Meaning

B60C1    Planned indep. reqmts char. values:

    Contains date, number of the forecasting table,

    item in the forecasting table,

    usage probability (in character format)

    usage quantity (according to the flag

    'X'=qty,'W'=probability)

    Fixing indicator (fix usage qty or

    usage probability)

    Transfer of fixed objects

Processing the Transfer File

You can use the program RM60INEX to generate a sample file.

Use the material master maintenance transactions to create a material. You can use this to generate an input file. This helps you to recognize what fields are filled with what values.

Performing the Transfer

The data transfer is performed with the help of the direct input procedure.

You can speed up the transfer by first deactivating the setup of administration data and setting up this data retrospectively (i.e. once the data transfer has been successfully completed).
