Report Template Import
Use
You use this function to import report templates (or cover sheet templates and acknowledgement of receipt templates) to the SAP system. In conjunction with report template export, you can exchange report templates between different SAP systems.
Features
File Check
The SAP system checks if the data can be transferred correctly from the transfer file and matches up the symbols. A log is created for checking the file, with which you determine any errors made.
The SAP system reads the following objects:
The key for the report template
The description for the report template
The symbols used on the report template
Initial Situation
Result
There is one corresponding symbol in the transfer file and in the SAP system.
The SAP system uses the key for the symbol in the SAP system.
There is no corresponding symbol in the transfer file and in the SAP system.
The SAP system uses the key for the symbol in the transfer file.
You must replace this symbol with an existing symbol or delete it after import at the very latest. Otherwise, if you carry out the
Check template
function, an error will occur.
Data Import
Data import is carried out in dialog and not in the background, as Microsoft Word must be started to compare the symbols.
The data is transferred in the background using the direct-input procedure. The SAP system creates an import log for this.
The report template is created and the document is stored in the
Document Management System
