...Previous (Part III) Step 12: Next, navigate to Business Partner->Control->Events->Business Data Toolset.   Three events (function modules) needs to be created respectively for events ISDAT, XCHNG, DSAVB. ·        ISDAT Event - Read Data (Owner Application) (FM : ZMM_LFA1_EVENT_ISDAT) ·        XCHNG Event - Check whether data was changed (FM: ZMM_LFA1_EVENT_XCHNG) ·        DSAVB Event - Collect Data (in Owner Applications) (FM: ZMM_LFA1_EVENT_DSAVB) Important note: Create a structure 'ZSMM_LFA1_S001' with all the custom fields that you have created in used in FM 'CVIV_BUPA_LFA1_COLLECT'. Create all the three FM’s in the same function group as created earlier. FUNCTION zmm_lfa1_event_isdat. *"---------------------------------------------------------------------- *"*"Local Interface: *"----------------------------------------------------------------------   CALL FUNCTION 'CVIV_BUPA_LFA1_GET'

                                                                                                                                        ...Next (Part II.) One needs to follow the below mentioned Steps to add an additional data tab in Business Partners (For Vendors). Step 1: Add new custom fields to standard structure ‘INCL_EEW_LFA1’ . This structure is already included in LFA1. Hence the new custom fields will automatically reflect in LFA1 Table. Step 2:  Now add the same fields to structure  ‘INCL_EEW_LFA1’.  Ensure the data element should be a character type with length 1. Here we have used standard data element BAPIUPDATE. Step 3:  Now Create a Custom Function Group and mention the below code in the Top Include of the Function group. TABLES: lfa1. CONSTANTS: table_name_lfa1 TYPE fsbp_table_name VALUE 'LFA1',            false           TYPE boole-boole     VALUE ' '. DATA: gs_lfa1 TYPE lfa1. Step 4: Next Create a screen i

Most of the times, client comes up with a requirement wherein they want some fields to be defaulted in Business Partner. One such requirement is to default the communication language to 'EN'. Here we are going to talk about all the steps to achieve the same. Step 1: Create a function group via SE80. (For example, ZFG_MM_BP). Step 2: Create a new function module ZBUP_BUPA_EVENT_ISSTA (or probably any name in the customer name space Y* or Z*) with the following source code (only): FUNCTION zbup_bupa_event_issta. *"---------------------------------------------------------------------- *"*"Local Interface: *"---------------------------------------------------------------------- DATA: lwa_default TYPE busdefault. lwa_default-langu = sy-langu. CALL FUNCTION 'BUP_BUPA_FIELDVALUES_SET' EXPORTING i_busdefault = lwa_default. ENDFUNCTION. Save the function module and activate the same as well as function group. Step 3: Navigate to

During the data transfer process using LTMC, you might face some issues. Here, I have tried to explain some known issues which might help you. 1. Error  "500 SAP Internal Server Error in LTMC" . After this error, you might find an ABAP dump in transaction ST22. Check for more details in ABAP dump to find the root cause. This error also occurs, when your session in LTMC is inactive for a long time. Just try to execute LTMC again and see if error persist. 2. You execute LTMC however web browser displays error  "Page cannot be displayed"  or you don’t see SAP screen  "Migrate your Data". There could be numerous reasons for this. You need to consult with your Basis Consultant. In some cases, server/host name entries of your SAP server (to be provided by Basis Consultant) is not maintained in your hosts file (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc). File Name = hosts File Path = C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc 3. Message  "Source record <record i

Now you are already familiar with data transfer process using Excel based templates (Excel XML) via Transaction LTMC. As already mentioned above, if standard template of any migration object does not meet your business requirement i.e. Some of fields are not available in standard template. Some extra fields are available in template which you don’t want. Any import field is optional in standard template and you want to make it mandatory or vice-versa. In short if there is an requirement to add custom fields to standard migration objects or even create new migration objects, transaction LTMOM will come into Play. Step 1.  Run transaction LTMOM. Initial screen will appear as shown below. Step 2.  Search for your migration object by clicking on “Input Help” (Down-arrow) button. Step 3.  On popup to find Migration Object, enter your Project and press Enter key. Step 4.  Select your migration object from list and press Enter key. Step 5.  Your migration o
