PS/PM/CS: Postprocessing Transferred Data 

Prerequisites

If errors occurred when transferring data for confirmations, the data must be postprocessed in the relevant target component. The system displays records containing errors in an error pool for this purpose. For each transfer. the pool contains an entry for records that could not be posted.

Even data records containing errors are flagged as Transferred in the time sheet.

You can process the error pool from the target component. You can also access it directly from the time sheet however.

To postprocess records, you require authorization for the following transactions:

Errors that occur when determining costs and checking budgets do not feature in the error pool. The system places the errors in a separate postprocessing pool for cost determination. The same applies to errors related to goods movements. You process them as normal in the target component.

Procedure

  1. Choose Time sheet -> Transfer -> Plant maintenance/Customer service or Project system -> Postprocessing, depending on which target component you want to process.

    2. The system does not flag entries that have already been processed. We recommend you process the entries in a specific sequence so that you can keep track of your progress.

  2. Select an entry.

    3. The Confirmation for Network: Collective Confirmation or PM Order Confirmation: Collective Confirmation screen appears.

  3. Select a confirmation.
  4. Choose Check confirmations.

    5. The messages which appear provide information on the cause of the error.

    Choose Display errors to display the cause of, but not yet process, the error.

  5. Correct the confirmation.
  6. Process any other confirmations containing errors.
  7. Save the collective confirmation.
  8. Choose Back.

    9. The error pool reappears.

  9. Delete the entry you have just processed.
  10. If necessary, continue processing other entries.

Result

You have postprocessed the data you transferred to Project System or Plant Maintenance/Customer Service in the target components.
