 File Check During Specification Import

Use

This function checks if all parameters required for specification import exist in the SAP system, and then takes you to the parameter editing function if you have to enter parameters subsequently.

The function then compares the specifications from the transfer file and those from specification management , and lists all assignment pairs found. The SAP system creates a check log for this.

Prerequisites

See the "Prerequisites" section under Import: Process .

Features

Before the import, the SAP system 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.

  • If the data origin has been created in the SAP system

  • If the data provider from the transfer file has been created as a data provider in the SAP component Product Safety . Only then can the data provider be imported.

  • The key data from the phrase library in the specification file and the key data from the phrase library in the SAP system

    If the data does not match, the SAP system issues a warning.

  • Which specifications in the transfer file can be assigned to those in the SAP component Basic Data and Tools .

    The SAP system selects unique assignments for import.

    You influence the results of the search by the entry made in the Search type field (see Specification Import Control ). To enable a specification to be imported into the SAP system, the SAP system must be able to find a unique assignment for this specification, or no assignment to a specification in specification management .

    The SAP system selects all specifications that can be imported. This procedure is equally valid for specifications, components, and references.

    Search Result

    Result

    The specification in the transfer file cannot be assigned a specification in the SAP system.

    The specification is selected.

    The specification in the transfer file can be assigned exactly one specification in the SAP system.

    The specification is selected.

    The specification in the transfer file is assigned at least two specifications in the SAP system.

    The specification is not selected. You must select your required assignment pair yourself.

    The specification to be imported exists twice or more in the transfer file.

    The specification is not selected. In this case you should check the file.

    You can manually revise the specification assignment made in the SAP system (see Manual Specification Assignment During Specification Import ).

If there is a reference to the same specification within a file, for example from identifiers, the specification key must also be the same. If a specification appears more than once in a file, for example, as the specification itself, as a component, and as a reference, the specification keys for these must be the same.
