Reloading Archive Files - Bank Master Data (FI)

Prerequisites

Before reloading bank master data, you must ensure that the appropriate archive files are on the local drive so that the program can access them.

Procedure

Choose Accounting ® General Ledger, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable or Banks ® Periodic processing ® Archiving ® Banks then Goto ® Reload. The Archive Administration: Reload Archive screen appears.

Enter a variant name and choose Maintain.

The selection screen for maintaining variants appears.

You can limit the amount of bank master data to be reloaded using the bank country selection criteria, meaning that only bank master data from the country you specify is reloaded.

Enter the appropriate selection criteria and, if necessary, activate the following fields:

Test run

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.

Detail log

The detail log records information on each reloaded object. For more information, see Logs (FI).

Choose Back.

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.

Save the variant by choosing Save. To return to the Archive Administration: Reload Archive screen choose Back.
Make the following settings:

Select the archive from which data is to be reloaded

Enter the start date for the reload run

Enter the spool parameters for the reload run

Once you have entered your selection criteria and have set the archive selection, start date, and spool parameters, choose Execute.

To display the status of the jobs you created choose Goto ® Job overview.

The system reloads the data into the R/3 System and deletes it from the archive. Note that bank master data that has been reloaded is not specially marked and is found in its original condition.

For more information on maintaining variants, see the SAP Library under Getting Started.
