Importing Substance Identifiers 
Importing Substance Identifiers
Use
The R/3 System checks that substance identifiers are unique before they are imported.
Features
The following cases can occur during the check:
If |
Then |
An identifer exists in the R/3 System and in the transfer file, and both have the same data origin |
The identifier remains unchanged |
The identifer exists in the R/3 System and in the transfer file, but they have different data origins |
The data origin for the identifier in the R/3 System is deleted |
If the data origin for an identifier is missing, this means the identifier has at least two data origins.
If |
Then |
The identifier exists in the transfer file, but not in the R/3 System |
The identifier is created with its data origin in the R/3 System. |
The identifier exists in the R/3 System but not in the transfer file |
The identifier is deleted |
This procedure ensures that any typing errors in an identifier can be corrected in the R/3 System during renewed import.
To avoid unwanted data losses when deleting an identifier, you must ensure that all necessary identifiers are complete in the transfer file.
The erroneous identifier WATTER with data origin ABC is present in the R/3 System. A renewed import leads to the creation of the correct identifier WATER in the R/3 System with data origin ABC. As WATTER is not present in the transfer file, WATTER is deleted by the R/3 System. The typing error is corrected.
