Importing Diagnosis Catalogs

Use

If you want to use standard diagnoses, you can import diagnosis catalogs such as the ICD-10 into the SAP system.

Prerequisites

  • 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

Char

6

Diagnosis code

15

Char

1

Diagnosis key type

Char

1

Language

17

Char

Char

720

Diagnosis description

739-750

Char

User name

751-760

Char

Date changed

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.

Caution Caution

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.

End of the caution.

Procedure

  1. In the Occupational Health menu , choose Start of the navigation path Basic Data Next navigation step Edit Diagnosis Keys End of the navigation path .

  2. Select the diagnosis catalog for which you want diagnoses imported.

  3. Choose Start of the navigation path Diagnosis Table Next navigation step Diagnosis Import End of the navigation path .

  4. Enter the path and name of the ASCII file.

    Caution Caution

    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.

    End of the caution.

  5. Choose with the quick info text Execute .

    The data is imported. A system message appears, informing you if the import was successful.

    Note Note

    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.

    End of the note.
