In this step you generate a list of the relevant fields that are required from the old/legacy systems to fill the receiver structure fields. The system interprets all relevant Customizing settings for this.

Requirements

Depending on the transfer category, different settings must have been made in Customizing. For the transfer category period values for example, the corresponding operating concern must have been created.

Activities

  1. Select the transfer category for which you wish to determine the required/optional fields. The system determines the corresponding receiver structure and displays the required/optional fields.
  2. Choose Display. You get to the screen with the required/optional fields.
  3. The fields to be filled with data are split according to priority:
    • 1: Required fields
      • Required fields contain information which must be imported (for example, company code for many categories). Data records, whose required fields are not filled, cannot be transferred.
    • 2: Dependent fields
      • Data is put into dependent fields when it may be required or left blank under certain conditions (for example, the field external partner ID only has to be filled if a business partner is going to be referenced by its external number during a transfer of accounts). Usually two or more dependent fields form a group from which a field will be filled while the others remain empty. This may be because they contain alternative information (for example external vs. internal account number).
    • 3: Optional fields
      • Optional fields contain information which is not absolutely necessary. You can however, use these fields to transfer additional information (for example, user-defined characteristics for transferring finance objects).
    • 4: Initial fields
      • Initial fields cannot be filled. For example, when transferring finance objects for accounts, of the key fields for the original objects, only the internal or external account number can be filled. All of the other origial object keys such as order number, loan number, etc. must remain empty. If initial fields are filled and transferred, the data content will be overwritten by R/3 data.
    • ?: Indefinite fields
      • For some transfer categories, additional Customizing settings are relevant for generating required/optional field display. You can enter or change these under Settings -> Change selection. The possible (or selected) settings are displayed in the header part of the list.

Additional functions

  • Display with documentation

    Under List -> Display with docu, you can display and print a list with the documentation for all fields.

  • You can also display the documentation for each field directly via F1 help (by placing the cursor on the field and pressing F1).
  • You can check the meaning of the columns in the displayed list also using F1.
    • Technical information

By double-clicking on a field, you can go to the ABAP Dictionary.
