| direct input (CA-GTF) |
A data transfer technology that uses function modules created for this purpose by SAP to transfer very large volumes of data to an SAP System.
The same consistency checks are performed within the function modules as those performed in the online transaction.
Direct input has definite performance advantages when compared to the batch input and call transaction technologies because no online transaction has been performed here.
Additional transfer technologies: Batch input, call transaction, EDI and BAPIs.
