Benefits of the EDI Processes
EDI is the electronic exchange of business documents between the computer systems of business partners, using a standard format over a communication network. EDI is also called paperless exchange.
Implementing EDI benefits both the sender and the receiver. It is a mutual effort, and its benefits are maximized by sharing information in a timely manner. The benefits include
a trading partner. The receiver then rekeys the same information on his or her computer. The process is prone to data entry errors. This procedure is repeated when invoicing takes place. With EDI, data goes directly from one computer to another without involving a human being.
Naming Conventions for Reports
Customer report names follow the convention Yaxxxxxx or Zaxxxxxx, where:
- The first character must be a Y or Z.
- The second character represents the application area.
- The maximum program length is 10.
The second character is the short form for the application area. For example, a customer report for Treasury would follow the convention Z5xxxxxx, while a logistics report would be named Z21xxxxx.
LSMW Overview
Legacy System Migration Workbench (LSMW) is a graphical tool provided by SAP R/3 for migrating data from a Legacy System into SAP. This tool is available through an SAP standard transaction code ‘LSMW’.
-The actual data upload takes place from a specific transaction depending upon the requirement such as MM01 (Create Material Master).
-The data to be uploaded is entered in a Flat File (such as a text file). This text file is uploaded into a Batch Input Structure through the interface of LSMW.
-After populating the data into the Batch Input ructure, the LSMW transaction generates a Batch Input Session with a name. The session is then executed through transaction SM35 (Batch Input: Session Overview).
