Data Transfer: Material BOMs 

Purpose

The following process can be used to transfer material BOMs automatically from a legacy system into the SAP system.

Prerequisites

You have decided to transfer material BOMs automatically into the SAP system.

Process Flow

When transferring the material BOMs, data from the legacy system is converted into a sequential data transfer file and then transferred to the SAP system using the following SAP data transfer program:

·        Copying Material BOMs Without Long Text (report RCSBI010)

·        Copying Material BOMs With Long Text (report RCSBI040)

·        Copying BOM Changes (report RCSBI020)

Copying BOM Variants (report RCSBI030)

The data transfer file is the prerequisite for successfully transferring data as it contains the data in a converted format that is suitable for the SAP System.

 

 

You transfer material BOMs as follows:

...

       1.      Identifying Relevant Fields

       2.      Analyzing the Transfer Structure

       3.      Creating a Sample Data Transfer File

       4.      Testing the Data Transfer Program

       5.      Analyzing the Legacy Data

       6.      Assigning Fields

       7.      Write a Conversion Program

       8.      Preparing the Legacy System

       9.      Testing the Data Transfer

   10.      Executing the Data Transfer

Result

The material BOMs are transferred into the SAP system.
