• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPDMC/LSMW_OBJ_060054 - Using different sequential files is not allowed ?

  The SAP error message /SAPDMC/LSMW_OBJ_060054 indicates that there is an issue with the use of different sequential files in the context of the Legacy System Migration Workbench (LSMW). This error typically arises when you are trying to use multiple sequential files for a single LSMW project, which is not permitted.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because LSMW expects a consistent structure for the data being imported. When you attempt to use different sequential files (e.g., files with different formats, structures, or data types) for the same LSMW object, it leads to this error. LSMW is designed to work with a single file or a consistent set of files that conform to the same structure.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check File Consistency: Ensure that all the sequential files you are trying to use have the same structure, format, and data types. If they differ, you will need to standardize them.
  
  
  Use a Single File: If possible, consolidate your data into a single sequential file that meets the requirements of the LSMW object you are working with.
  
  
  Adjust LSMW Settings: Review the settings in your LSMW project to ensure that you are not inadvertently trying to reference multiple files. Make sure that the file paths and names are correctly specified.
  
  
  Recreate the Object: If the issue persists, consider recreating the LSMW object from scratch, ensuring that you only reference a single, consistent sequential file.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for LSMW to understand the requirements and limitations regarding file usage.
