Import Data into CRM to Create BP

[Former Member]

I have all the related data to create the BP on CRM in Flat file.

Now pls suggest me, which method could be ideal for this scenario. This will be one time upload.

Kindly help on this, ELM is useful for this?

Bala,

For a onetime upload the best method is the following:

Create an LSMW project that uses the XIF adapter for the business partner. The XIF for the business partner will use inbound IDOC processing and you can use the LSMW to map the data to the IDOC. For more details on how to do this, read the documentation for function module CRMXIF_PARTNER_SAVE. This will be your best bet. It will require the least amount of ABAP coding.

I have a web log located that shows how to do data loads with XIF for products located at:

Good luck,

Stephen
