Importing Diagnosis Catalogs 
If you want to use standard diagnoses, you can import diagnosis catalogs such as the ICD-10 into the SAP system.
· You have specified the description of the relevant diagnosis catalogs in Customizing for Occupational Health.
· The data is available in electronic form as ASCII files.
To ensure that the data is assigned to the correct fields in the SAP system, the ASCII file must have the following structure:
Position in Character String |
Type |
Length |
Content |
1-8 |
Char |

Reference code (user-defined) |
9-14 |

The contents are entered using characters of the Char type in the specified position. The entries must keep to the specified length. In the ASCII file, they follow one another and form one single character string for each diagnosis being imported.

You must keep to the specified field length, otherwise the system cannot identify the characters. This means that you must enter blank characters for unused spaces.
...
1. In the Occupational Health menu, choose Basic Data ® Edit Diagnosis Keys.
2. Select the diagnosis catalog for which you want diagnoses imported.
3. Choose Diagnosis Table ® Diagnosis Import.
4. Enter the path and name of the ASCII file.

If you are using a Unicode system and the file to be imported contains umlauts, the file should be encoded as UTF-8 to guarantee error-free import.
To code the file as UTF-8, open the document in a text editor that supports the encoding UTF-8. Under the save options, select the encoding UTF-8 and save.
5.
Choose
with the
quick info text Execute.
The data is imported. A system message appears, informing you if the import was successful.

If the screen for setting the print parameters appears, this means that the data is already in the system. Existing data is not overwritten. If required, you can now print out a log of the operation.
