Data Transfer (SAP Library - Customer Service (CS))

Data Transfer

Use

The Data Transfer function is used in the following cases:

When you are creating or maintaining an equipment hierarchy

When you are installing or dismantling a piece of equipment at a functional location

You can use data transfer to define which data should be transferred from the master record of the superior equipment or functional location into the master record of the installed piece of equipment.

Features

You can use the Data transfer function:

When a piece of equipment is installed at a functional location or in a superior piece of equipment

When sub-pieces of equipment are assigned to a piece of equipment

When a piece of equipment is dismantled from a functional location or from a superior piece of equipment

When assignment changes have been performed in the equipment hierarchy, for example,

Assignment of further sub-pieces of equipment
Assignment of a different superior equipment

In these cases, however, data transfer can only be performed for the pieces of equipment affected by the changes.

You can access the data transfer function in two different ways, depending on whether you want to transfer data from the superior piece of equipment or functional location, or from the installed piece of equipment.
