Import Templates

You import standard SAP templates for report rows or columns from client 000, online or in the background, to the client you are using.

Templates are one-dimensional report modules in which complete row or column blocks are predefined, and which can be placed in reports during definition.

The following options are available:

The system displays a list of all templates, from which you select those required for your information system.
Importing all templates should be done during times where system usage is at a minimum, using a background job.

After installing a new release or update, repeat the import of templates from client 000 in order to access the changes.

Standard Settings

The standard SAP System defaults all templates.

Activities

a) Choose Online.
b) Mark the templates that the SAP System should import.
c) Choose Copy.
2. To import all templates, create a background job and schedule it as follows:

b) Enter a job name.
c) Keep the defaulted value "000" as source client.

The SAP System plans the job and automatically selects all existing templates.
