You need to transfer external data if you previously stored your data in non-SAP systems or in an SAP R/2 system, and now want to transfer it to the ERP system (such as to Cost Center Accounting). For example, you can transfer your planned primary costs to SAP-internal structures. The ERP system performs the same checks on the data as for the corresponding dialog functions.

You have two options for transferring data to the ERP system:

·         External Data Transfer with Function Modules

·         External Data Transfer with BAPIs

External data is subdivided as follows:

·         Master data

·         Planning data

·         Actual data
