This application enables you to display incorrect data records from interface processing, and to change the status.

If errors occur when posting interface-processing data, SAP F&R flags the data records as exceptions and saves them to the database. The displayed exceptions provide you with an overview of the error situation, and enable you to identify possible causes of errors.

Integration

All incorrect records are organized according to object in the Interface Workbench.

There are two kinds of errors:

  • Semantic errors

    In this case, SAP F&R tries to post an object that does not exist yet. This error can be caused by objects being transferred to SAP F&R at different times. To correct the error, you need to re-import the data simultaneously.

  • Technical errors

    These include, for example, incorrect data formats in the interface record. To remove the error, you must correct the relevant fields in the sending system, and re-import the data.

Prerequisites

In interface processing, you have entered parameters that SAP F&R uses for posting of the interface data. These include:

  • Parallel processing

  • The server group

  • The number of parallel processing jobs

Activities

In the Interface Workbench, the following procedure is possible:

  • SAP F&R creates the worklist automatically. All incorrect interface records are selected and displayed. By selecting a record, you can see the details and you can modify the record in processing mode.

  • Once you have manually corrected a record, set the status to N (Not Processed). If SAP F&R finds this information in the PSTATUS field of the interface record, it posts the record in the next processing run.

  • To export the data, you schedule a background job. This takes the interface processing parameters into account.

    Note Note

    Alternatively, and independently of the background jobs, you can also transfer the order proposals directly from the Replenishment Workbench or use the mass release of order proposals. For more information, see
