You use this function to import sources into the SAP System.

When importing sources, you can use the following functions:

Before you import sources, you must start pre-import. The SAP System then checks:

• The path for the transfer file
• The syntax structure of the transfer file

The number of syntax errors is displayed on the screen. You can display a detailed error description using the check log. You obtain the following:

• The administration part of the transfer file (version, date, for example)
• The number of sources in the transfer file
• The number of sources that already exist in the SAP System or are to be created

Data is imported in the background using the direct-input procedure. The SAP System creates an import log for this.
