Process documentationEntry of Data in a Matrix Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Purpose

In this process, you enter financial data in a data matrix and save it to an Access database for the offline data entry program.

Prerequisites

The matrix in which you want to enter data is already defined, and you have access to the file in which the matrix is saved. Either you have already completed the process Definition of a Matrix, or a parent company/unit has provided you with a predefined matrix in which you can enter data.

Process Flow

  1. If required, you run a Preparation for Data Entry.

    2. During the preparation, current data from a local Access database is imported into the matrix, certain cells in the matrix are blocked, and other automatic settings are made.

    Note

    A parent can run a preparation for data entry on a matrix before sending it to a subsidiary. If this is the case, the subsidiary does not have to run a preparation when it receives the matrix.

  2. You enter your financial data for the period in the data area of the matrix, either in empty fields or by typing over the reference data from the preparation for data entry.
  3. You save the data to the database.

When you save data to the database, characteristic values in your matrix definition are checked for consistency. You also have the option of triggering a validation of data using rules that are stored in the Access database.

Note

If desired, you export data in test mode in order to find and remove any errors before you update the database.
