Prerequisites
Before reloading transaction figures, you must ensure that the appropriate archive files are on the local drive so that the program can access them.
Before reloading, you must close every period in the company codes for which data is to be reloaded. This prevents errors in data transfer.
Procedure
The Archive Administration: Reload Archive Files screen appears.
The selection screen for maintaining variants appears.
The system reloads only those transaction figures belonging to the company codes you specify.
The system reloads only those transaction figures previous to and including the fiscal year you specify.
Depending on how the transaction figures are marked, the system loads the transaction figures from customer, vendor or G/L accounts. In the case of G/L accounts, planning data is also reloaded.
If you start the reload program in test mode, the system only simulates the reload run. The system does not change data in the database or in the archive.
The detail log records information on each reloaded object. For more information, see Logs (FI).
The system asks you whether you want to save your values. To save your data choose Yes.
The ABAP: Save Attributes of Variant screen appears, and you enter a description of your variant in the Description field.
To display the status of the jobs you created choose Goto ® Job overview.
For more information on maintaining variants, see the SAP Library under Getting Started.
