Validations in LSMW

By Rajinikanth Gangishetty, Yash Technologies

Requirement: Validation in LSMW. Here we are taking a simple example to change the customer telephone number.  Do the validation in LSMW to check whether the provided customer is valid or not. We will handle the Validations in 5th step (Maintain field mapping and conversion rules) of LSMW. If the customer is invalid collect the record to the error internal table and skip the further processing of the record. Download all the error customers into an excel file once the conversion of the all the customers is done. This example mainly will help you to write the custom code in LSMW. 

Create the Project, Subproject and Object in the LSMW Transaction.

1.       Maintain Object Attributes

2.       Maintain Source Structures

Create the source structure - CUST_DETAILS

3.       Maintain Source Fields

Maintain the source fields as per the input file. Here we are taking only Customer and Telephone number as our flat file contains only those two fields shown blow.
