Application data often has to be held in files outside the database. Such files are held in different directories, depending on the operating system used. For this reason, many ERP applications use logical filenames and logical file paths that are not specific to one platform.

The logical path names the path where the file is to be stored. The logical path serves to determine the physical path for the file to be stored, depending on the syntax group in question. At runtime, the logical file name is converted by the FILE_GET_NAME function module to a platform-specific path and file name.

You can define the logical file path and a corresponding file name using this customizing activiy.
