Function documentationWizards: Import/Export Recycling Partner Master Data

 

With these applications, you can import recycling partner master data into an ERP system or export recycling partner master data from an ERP system as part of the automatic configuration.

  • During the import, you create a new recycling partner based on the data for a recycling partner contained in an XML file or change an existing recycling partner.

  • During the export, you create an XML file for a selected recycling partner that you have created in the ERP system containing the data for that recycling partner.

Prerequisites

The authorization object J_7L_CONF is available to control the authorization for these applications.

Features

Import

To import the master data of a recycling partner into an ERP system (target system), proceed as follows:

  1. Make sure that the XML file that you want to import can be selected in the ERP system using the file directory.

    The XML file can also be imported in compressed form as a ZIP file.

    Note Note

    Note that you cannot import any manually changed XML files.

    End of the note.

  2. In the menu for the Recycling Partners application (transaction J7LE), start the Import Recycling Partner Master Data application (transaction J7LPARTNERIMP).

  3. In the Select File step, select the XML file (or ZIP file) whose data you want to import from the file directory.

  4. In the Select Country and Recycling Partner step, specify for which country you want to create recycling partner master data. You also decide which vendor the new recycling partner is to be based on and specify the short name.

    You can choose one of the following options for specifying the vendor:

    • You select one of the vendors available in the system as the basis for the new recycling partner.

    • You create a new vendor. To do this, choose Create Vendor.

    Then specify the short name for the new recycling partner.

    If you specify a combination of vendor and short name that already exists in the system, the existing data is overwritten.

To export recycling partner master data from an ERP system (source system) to an XML file, proceed as follows:

  1. In the menu for the Recycling Partners application (transaction J7LE), start the Export Recycling Partner Master Data application (transaction J7LPARTNEREXP).
