Checking Files during Substance Import (SAP Library

Checking Files during Substance Import

Use

This function checks if all parameters required for substance import have been maintained in the R/3 System, and then takes you to parameter maintenance, if you have to maintain parameters subsequently.

The function then compares the substances from the transfer file and those from the R/3 substance database, and lists all application pairs found. The R/3 System creates a check log for this.

Prerequisites

See the Prerequisites section under: Importing Sources, Phrases, Substances, Properties Trees, Report Templates.

The path for the transfer file

The syntactic structure of the transfer file

If the data provider from the transfer file has been created as a data owner/provider in the R/3 component Product Safety. It is only then that the data provider can be imported.

The key data from the phrase library in the substance file, and the key data from the phrase library in the R/3 System

The R/3 System selects unique assignments for import.

You influence the results of the search by the entry made in the Search type field (see Controlling Substance Import). To enable a substance to be imported into the R/3 System, the R/3 System must be able to find a unique assignment for this substance, or no assignment to a substance in the R/3 database.

The R/3 System flags all substance that can be imported. This procedure is equally valid for substances, component substances, and reference substances.

If the search results indicate that	Then the substance is
The substance in the transfer file cannot be assigned a substance in the R/3 System	Selected
