Data Import

[Former Member]

Dear MDG Experts,

I want to understand Mass Update process using Data Import Framework. The scenario we have is Mass Update file will be CSV file for which we need to use convertor setting ..

Now the question is does everytime user needs to provide entire data to mass update as MDG overwrites existing master data or  only material  number with filed for which value is changed will suffice.

Hi Neethu,

It depends on how you code your convertor BADI. You can have change indicator fields in your CSV file to mention which fields changed and while processing read the material and change only those fields in the code. But only thing you should make sure is the Material data is complete in the IDOC format before the data import class starts execution because the processing is similar to IDOC processing, inbound function module will be called.
