LSMW IBIP Tcode & RECORDNAME missing in field mapping

[sallyxu-cn]

H PM Guru,

In standard input IBIP, I use 0460 and method:0001 (create) to create maintenance plan.

When proceeding to Field mapping, the 2 field TCODE and RECORDNAME are missing in IBIPMPLA's souce field list even though they are available to be mapped.

Would you please teach me how to bring it back?

Many thanks,

Sally

Sally, you don't have to map the TCODE or RECORDNAME field. Keep working on your LSMW . I've ran similar LSMWs in the past and I also never created the TCODE as a source field. (I'm not sure if you need it for plans or not)

Think about the RECORDNAME as an index number to link the information between different files. You need to have the recordname on each file that you load so that the LSMW knows how the data relates to each other, but you don't have to map it.

Thank you Oscar,

I followed your steps just now and it works great.

Many thanks,

Sally

PS: Using IBIP is the only way to create maintenance plan with multi item or item's description are all replaced the later ones'.

I have not had a need to mass create a task list based on a strategy,

Please create a new post with your question. I would just say that SAP recommends using the standard batch/ direct input method when available.Recordings are limited, the recording doesn't necessarily reflect all of your mouse movements, it causes issues when choosing individual options from drop downs, etc ... In your case, try Objects 470 - equipment task list, 480 - FLOC task list or 490 - gen task listHere's a doc that guides you through the process https://blogs.sap.com/2013/07/17/general-task-list-upload-on-lsmw-with-document-dms-by-direct-input-...

Thank you Oscar.

I applied the same approach of creating task list by IBIP, which needs to use "!" to allow system to generate a sequential number.

For maintenance plan no field, it is left blank.

For Recordname, do you fill it in with a number to link plan and item(s)?

Thank you so much for your help,

Sally

Hi Sally,

Yes - I think you can fill out the record name with a sequential number. The LSMW is going to use that number to match the items with the maintenance plan.

So, for example if you need to create a maintenance plan with 3 items.

Maintenance Plan 1 RECORDNAME = 1 (This will be on your first file)

Maintenance Item 1 RECORDNAME = 1 (This will be on your second file)

Maintenance Item 2 RECORDNAME = 1 (This will be on your second file)

Maintenance Item 3 RECORDNAME = 1 (This will be on your second file)

If as part of the same load you want to create another maintenance plan with 2 items, then include the following :

Maintenance Plan 2 RECORDNAME = 2 (This will be on your first file)

Maintenance Item 1 RECORDNAME = 2 (This will be on your second file)

Maintenance Item 2 RECORDNAME = 2 (This will be on your second file)

I have ran similar LSMWs, but I haven't ran the maintenance plan one in the same way in which you're running it. So, try it out and let us know if it worked.

thanks!
