Importing Report Templates 

Prerequisites

Procedure

  1. From the Product Safety screen, choose Data transfer ® Report template.

    2. The initial Import Report Templates: Parameters screen appears.

  2. Please ensure that the path and file name for the transfer file and directory on the application server have been entered in the File with path field.

    3. /USR/SAP/SH1/SYS/GLOBAL/REPORT.DAT

    If the template key already exists in the R/3 System, you should change it in the *.DAT file before import to an ASCII editor.

    To correct the transfer file, choose Data transfer ® Download file from the Product Safety screen. After making the corrections in an ASCII editor, choose Upload file.

  3. Choose Edit ® Check file.

    4. The R/3 System checks the transfer file for syntax errors, and determines the data for the report template to be imported.

  4. Choose Goto ® Check log. Select the log for your transfer file, choose Goto ® Display messages, and check any error messages there.
  5. On the initial screen for source import, choose Edit ® Transfer/start time.

    6. The R/3 System determines the symbols in the report template. Check the list of symbol alignments. All entries in the System column must have symbol names. If they do not, check if symbol generation was carried out on your system.

  6. Choose Edit ® Transfer/start time.

The report template was imported.

Result

After the report template is imported, Word is called on your work station, and the newly imported template is loaded. The symbols are then automatically adjusted to align the symbols in your imported template with the existing symbols in your system.

This process can take some time. After the symbols have been adjusted, you can edit the report template manually.

Finally, check the template in Word by choosing WWI ® Check template, then File ® Back to R/3, and Back and save.

You can process the report templates further on the screens for report template management.
