The data is transferred in the background using the direct-input procedure. The SAP System creates an import log for this.
While you are importing a specification, the specification assigned in the SAP System is locked against changes in specification management. If the lock cannot be set, the specification cannot be imported.
When
importing identifiers, the system ensures that there are no inconsistencies for existing identifiers in the SAP System.The SAP System does not import a specification if there are errors in the specification master record (specification header, identifiers).
If there are errors in other values, the corresponding data is not imported (a material assignment, usage, or the complete value assignment).
Information on the errors that occurred is displayed in the import log (see
