Data
Transfer
In this step, you follow the steps described
below for copying documents from external IT systems.
- You run a comparison of fields in the current
data processing system against the fields in the SAP System:
- compare fields and field contents
- define which fields can be copied
directly
- set up rules on how to fill out the fields in
the SAP System that cannot be copied directly
- Decide whether you want to copy your external
data manually or automatically
- Create a transfer program in your current data
processing system to extract the data and generate a sequential
file
To create this
program, you can generate transfer structures (source descriptions) in various
programming languages.
- Correct or complete the data as
required
Recommendation
We advise you to use the batch input method for
copying data. Only then does the system make the checks that ensure that the
data has been transferred correctly.
