Documentation

Definition

Use

You can include this field in the field catalogs of an upload method as often as you require.

When you run a flexible upload, the contents of user-defined fields are not read.

Procedure

Assign user-defined fields to your field catalogs as required.

If you use fixed column widths, adjust the length of the field. If you use variable column widths with field separators, the field can have any length.

Examples

You collect reported financial data by means of flexible upload. The first column of the text files provided by the reporting consolidation units contains information that does not correspond to any characteristics in the Consolidation component. You can upload these files unchanged if you indicate in Customizing for the upload method that a user-defined field is located at the beginning of a data row.
