In this step you define the contents of the data slice. These settings represent the requirements that are used to maintain or import data.
You can limit the characteristics by either entering the characteristic values or by entering intervals or variables. The advantage of a variable is that you can change the characteristic values without having to create a new data slice. This is especially helpful with the period and year (for example, current period/year). You can maintain variables using 'Goto -> Define variables'.
Important information is contained in the names of some files. It is possible to interpret the characters from a specific offset in a specific length and to use them to separate the data within a data slice. An example: a file is called PLAN0031999, the data contained in this file (offset 5 in length 7) must be imported in period/year 003.1999.
Before importing new or changed data, it is often necessary to delete some of the existing data to guarantee the consistency of the data. For this reason you can flag certain characteristics in a data slice that separate the dataset into related parts. Examples include company code, project or company. When data is imported, the characteristic values of these partitioning characteristics are collected. Then all data that contains these characteristic values, in addition to the characteristic values of the other characteristics from the data slice description, is deleted.
Example
The relationship between two companies in a group was incorrectly maintained and data has already been imported. The error is corrected and new records are imported. If the data that was initially imported was not deleted, the old records would remain in the database.
