The report template is imported.

Result

After the report template is imported, Microsoft Word is opened on your workstation and the newly imported template is loaded. The system performs an automatic symbol matchup so that the symbols in your imported template are the same as the existing symbols in your system.

This process can take some time. After the symbols have been matched up, you can edit the report template manually.

Finally, check the template in Microsoft Word by choosing WWI ® Check template, then File ® Back to R/3, and With saving.

You can edit the report templates further on the screens for report template management.
