Data Delivery

  1. Date

  • You can transfer a date in two formats when transferring Excel files. If necessary, these formats can be user-defined.
    • YYYYMMDD
    • DD.MM.YYYY

      This has to be specified at the beginning of the external data transfer.

  • When transferring UNIX files, the date must have eight digits:
    • YYYYMMDD

It is very important that the date format not be checked any further, as this uses up an enormous amount of resources. Develop your data selection programs with this in mind.

  1. Decimal numbers

    Set a decimal point '.' instead of a comma ','.

  2. Leading zeros

    The following fields should be transferred in their full length with leading zeros, for example in SAP Banking:

    • Security ID number
    • Internal transaction number

Fields should be delivered in the format that is used online. Partner data with external number assignment where the number range is limited by numbers, for example, should be delivered with leading zeros. If the number range is limited by letters, no leading zeros need to be delivered.

  1. Fields of type NUMC

Fields that were created in the sender structure in NUMC format (category 'N') and for which no values are to be transferred, must be delivered filled with zeros (for initialization). This is especially important, as there is no way to run a check, and if it is not done correctly, there could be serious errors.
