 Generating a Duplicate Ordering File

Use

This report generates a duplicate of an ordering file that has already been created. This is necessary if the file no longer exists in the previously agreed file system, has not yet been forwarded to the processor, or was lost during transport there.

When a duplicate is generated, the BAdIs for formatting the card data do not run. The data that was formatted beforehand is reused. Only the BAdI for file management runs.

The system outputs a list of all generated files.Normally this is exactly one file since a duplicate has to be generated for exactly one file.

In exceptional cases, the number can differ, however, for example if the program logic for file generation is changed within the BAdIs for file creation.

Generations of duplicates are updated in a history table which you can display.
