Import and Export (SAP Library - EH&S Environment, Health & Safety)

Import and Export

Purpose

The SAP Product Safety component supports a first database as well as data import and export in productive systems. This means you can transfer data between the following system constellations:

Two SAP Systems
An SAP System and an external system

You can import and export the following data:

Sources

Phrases

Specifications (including dangerous goods data)

Property trees

Report templates

Reports (inbound documents (IBD))

Example

You can export phrases in the original language, translate them in an external system, and then import them into the SAP System.

You use exchange profiles to define the transfer parameters used to control data exchange.

In specification export you can use phrase references in the legally valid phrase library to convert your current SAP phrase library that you use for value assignment, so that the exported value assignments correspond to the legal requirements of the EU.

In specification import, in contrast, the SAP System enables you to import passive phrases used as value assignments to the active phrase library.
