Exchanging Data Between the SAP System and the Desktop Application

Use

To enable you to use Desktop Office Integration in business applications as well as for storing and managing documents, it contains features that allow you to use documents as forms or templates into which you can insert SAP system data at runtime.

Integration

Link Server

OLE links allow you to insert not only simple text into your documents, but also complex data formats such as RTF, graphics, and internal tables. You can create document templates easily using a Paste special dialog box and without any macro programming knowledge.

Table Collection

The SAP TableFactory OCX is used to export SAP data that is in table format. It belongs to the SAP Automation Suite and is used for RFC programming under Visual Basic. This function allows you to re-import data into the SAP system after you have edited it using the desktop application.

Features

The following diagram shows the object hierarchy by which SAP system data is exposed. You can access the data using Visual Basic programs.
