Maintaining Standard Service Catalogs
You can perform the following functions using the SSC editor:
Transferring External SSCs to the R/3 System
Via Service master ® Stand. serv. catalog ® Import file, you can import SSCs into the R/3 System from external data carriers. After the data transfer, the system branches directly to the editor. There you can check the imported SSC, make any necessary changes, and save it.
For a problem-free data transfer, you must ensure that the units of measure used in the external SSC have been maintained in your system in Customizing (General Settings under Check Units of Measurement).
If errors should occur during while an external SSC is being imported (e.g. missing units of measure), an error log appears.
