Confirmation in External Systems
(PDC) 
Use
Plant Data Collection is a cross-application function, which enables you to confirm networks in external systems and then transfer the data via a PDC data transfer to the SAP system.
Integration
When you confirm in external systems, you use several Project System functions
For more information on these functions, refer to Confirmation Directly in the Project System.
Prerequisites
You must make the relevant setting in Customizing for transferring data from the SAP system to the external system (Download) and from the external system to the SAP system (Upload). For example, you must determine which data is to be transferred and how often the data should be transferred.
For more information about Customizing Plant Data Collection, refer to the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Plant Data Collection.
Activities
You can trigger the transfer of PDC data from an external system to the SAP system either automatically, or manually by choosing Logistics/Accounting ® Project System ® Progress ® Confirmation ® PDC interface ® Upload request.
Transfer is via the PDC interface and runs in the background. If the system finds errors in the confirmation data after the transfer, the incorrect confirmation is written to a PDC error record. You must reprocess PDC error records.
