Report Template Import 

Use

You use this function to import report templates (substance report templates, cover sheet templates, acknowledgements of receipt templates) to the R/3 System. In conjunction with report template export, you can exchange report templates between different R/3 Systems.

Features

When importing report templates, you can use the following functions:

File check

The R/3 System checks if the data can be transferred correctly from the transfer file, and aligns the symbols ( See also: A log is created for checking the file, and you use the file to ascertain any errors made.

The R/3 System reads the following objects:

If the R/3 finds the following for a

symbol in the transfer file:

Then the R/3 System uses

One corresponding symbol in the R/3 System

The key for the symbol in the R/3 System

No corresponding symbol in the R/3 System

The key for the symbol in the transfer file

You must replace this symbol with an existing symbol or delete it after import at the very latest. Otherwise, an error will occur when you carry out the Check template function.

Data import

Data import is carried out on the screen, and not in the background, as Word must be started to compare the symbols.

The data is transferred in the background in direct-input procedures. The R/3 System creates an import log for this.

The report template is created and the document is loaded to the Document Management System.
