In this step, you prepare to copy inventory data from a file by means of a flexible upload. This data is required for the elimination of IU profit/loss in inventory. You need to define an upload method in the SAP System so that the system recognizes the data format of the file you want to upload. You then copy the data using the Consolidation application menu.
Activities
File
Ensure that the file you want to upload has a layout that can be interpreted by the system (using leading digits).
- Data record type 1 (first digit in the row is 1):
The system interprets the row with this data record type as the header row of the file. The header row of a file contains data that is valid for all subsequent data rows, for example subitem category and language key. You can use multiple header rows in a file.
- Data record type 2 (first digit in the row is 2):
The system interprets rows with this data record type as data rows. These rows should follow the file header, and they all have the same layout. You can include the fields available in upload method definition as columns in the layout (see below).
Upload method
Define an upload method for the file:
- Create a method with a description.
- Specify the general characteristics of the file layout (column width, field separator and digit separator).
- All fields for inventory data are listed in the block Remaining fields. Decide which fields you require and move them to the blocks Header row and Data rows. Note that you must use at least the fields that are highlighted in gray.
Note that for inventory data, the inventory managing unit is the consolidation unit and the supplying unit is the partner unit.
Note: You can use field help to display information on the fields.
Make the following settings for the blocks:
- Header row
- Enter 1 as the first digit in header rows so that the system can identify them as headers (see above).
- Find out which fields are used in the file's header row and move them to the block. Move the fields in the same sequence as they appear in the header row of the file from left to right.
- Data rows
- Enter 2 as the first digit in data rows so that the system can identify them as data rows (see above).
- Find out which fields are used in the file's data rows and move them to the block. Move the fields in the same sequence as they appear in the data rows of the file from left to right.
Note:
- The system interprets rows that do not begin with either 1 or 2 as comment rows.
- You move a field by selecting it (Edit -> Select), placing the cursor on the appropriate block and choosing Edit -> Move.
