Transaction BMV0

Use

You can use this program to manage data transfers using the direct input (DI) procedure. Three applications currently support this procedure:

• FI documents

• Material master data

• Substance data for PP-EHS

The DI procedure works as follows: The application writes the data - after a successful check - from an input file directly to the relevant SAP tables. This makes it less circuitous than the batch input method where screens are processed in the background. As a result, the DI method is much faster.

To ensure data integrity, each DI program has a restart mechanism. Using a few function modules, it writes synchronization information to table TBIST. If a termination occurs, it is then guaranteed that the data transfer can be resumed at the correct point. This means, for example, that no document is posted twice or not posted (as long as no business errors occur; more information below).

You may only start the transfer of data by direct input from RBMVSHOW / transaction BMV0. It is always executed in the background. Though you can use SM36/SM37 to directly manipulate the transfer of data, data integrity is no longer ensured.
