Source Import
Use
When importing sources, you can use the following functions:
Features
File Check
Before you import sources, you must start pre-import. The SAP system then checks:
The path for the transfer file
The syntax structure of the transfer file
The number of syntax errors is displayed on the screen. You can display a detailed error description using the check log. You obtain the following:
The administration part of the transfer file (version, date, for example)
The number of sources in the transfer file
The number of sources that already exist in the SAP system or are to be created
Data Import
Data is imported in the background using the direct-input procedure. The SAP system creates an import log for this.
When importing, the SAP system proceeds as follows:
If the key of a source does not exist in the SAP system, it creates the source.
If the key of a source exists in the SAP system, it updates the source with the data from the transfer file.
