Transaction Data 

The transaction data is usually transferred automatically from other applications (see Types of Data Transfer). However, you can enter transaction data manually. Individual record entry is possible, or several at once using a layout.

• You can find a description of individual record entry in Entering Transaction Data in Individual Records.
• You can configure the screen structure for multiple-object data entry as you wish. You must define a data entry layout in Customizing before you enter any values. For more information, see Maintaining a Data Entry Layout.

Using Transaction data ® Transfers ® Import file in the EC-EIS application menu, and Plan data ® Transfers ® Import file in the EC-BP application menu, you can import transaction data or plan data from a file into the SAP R/3 System. The procedure is described in Importing a File.

The use of Summarization Levels can improve the response times in reporting by creating duplicate, summarized data sets.
