When you maintain transfer rules, you can determine whether a characteristic is to be valuated against the master data and how the assignment is to be processed. In addition, you can also specify for each key figure whether it should overwrite the value on the database. In earlier releases, you could make these specifications only per sender program.
Master data and comments on master data are now dealt with analog to transaction data. That means that the sender structure maintenance is identical for all types of transferred data. However, you also have to maintain transfer rules for the data import. Thus, report RKCFILE0 is also used to import master data and master data comments. Therefore, you can now import master data and master data comments in several formats. Reports RKCFILE1 and RKCFILE2 are therefore no longer applicable. If you have maintained versions for these reports, maintain them for report RKCFILE0.
