Use

You can use the recording function to create a new object (or a new "import method") if neither a standard batch input program nor a standard direct input program nor the BAPI/IDoc method is available for a data object.

Integration

Recording entries are assigned to one project each.

Prerequisites

You are on the LSM Workbench initial screen.

Features

Recordings may also be useful when using a standard program in order to reduce the number of target fields.

Activities

Proceed as follows in order to create a recording:

  1. On the LSM Workbench initial screen, choose Start of the navigation path Goto Next navigation step Recordings End of the navigation path. An overview of recordings is displayed.

  2. Choose Start of the navigation path Recordings Next navigation step Create Recording End of the navigation path.

  3. Fill in the fields.

    Note

    Recordings are assi gned to exactly one project.

    Choose Continue. A dialog box appears.

  4. Enter the corresponding transaction code. See: Determining the Transaction Code

  5. If you want to save documentation for your recording, make sure you are in change mode and choose Start of the navigation path Edit Next navigation step Documentation End of the navigation path.

Now you can run the specified transaction. Fill all those fields with data that you want to supply with values of your legacy data later on.

Caution

This is not a simulation mode. Any entries that you make here are posted in the system. Make sure that you do not enter any data that can have unwanted effects. The data you have entered is replaced by the corresponding legacy data in the data transfer.

Caution

When using the recording function, you have to define the number of items and the screen sequence. You are not able to use variables. The target structure must be flat, it must not contain any header/item structures with a variable number of items.

Each object can have multiple recordings assigned to it.

Note

You also have the option of creating a recording in transaction SHDB, generating a program from this recording, and then modifying and registering this program so that it can be used in the LSMW.

More Information

Once the recording has been completed, you can edit it. You can delete fields or add new fields.
