Report Template Import
Use
You use this function to import report templates (or cover sheet templates and acknowledgement of receipt templates) to the SAP System. In conjunction with report template export, you can exchange report templates between different SAP Systems.
Features
When importing report templates, you can use the following functions:
File Check
The SAP System checks if the data can be transferred correctly from the transfer file and matches up the symbols. A log is created for checking the file, and you use the file to ascertain any errors made.
The SAP System reads the following objects:
|
Initial Situation |
Result |
|
There is one corresponding symbol in the transfer file and in the SAP System. |
The SAP System uses the key for the symbol in the SAP System. |
|
There is no corresponding symbol in the transfer file and in the SAP System. |
The SAP System uses the key for the symbol in the transfer file. You must replace this symbol with an existing symbol or delete it after import at the very latest. Otherwise, an error will occur when you carry out the Check template function. |
Data Import
Data import is carried out in dialog and not in the background, as Microsoft Word must be started to compare the symbols.
The data is transferred in the background using the direct-input procedure. The SAP System creates an import log for this.
The report template is created and the document is stored in the Document Management System.
