Documentation

Definition

The indicator 'Import financial data' controls and documents the technical transfer of data into the FI-LC system.

The options are as follows:

• Direct: Financial reporting data is posted directly into the
  Consolidation system from the same SAP system using
  either an extract from Financial Accounting or a rollup.
  As a consequence, no import process needs to be run.

• IDoc: Using IDoc communications, financial data is posted into the
  FI-LC system from various SAP systems using either
  an extract from Financial Accounting or a rollup.
  As a consequence, no import process needs to be run.
  In connection with EDI (Electronic Data Interface),
  IDocs (Intermediate Documents) are used as intermediate
  structures for coupling SAP systems.

• PC: The financial data is exported as a datafile. For
  Consolidation, this is typically accomplished using PC
  data entry (dBase) or periodic extract. The file is
  placed in a directory on the PC.

• Unix: The financial data is exported as a datafile. For
  Consolidation, this is typically accomplished using PC
  data entry (dBase) or periodic extract. The file is
  placed in a directory on the UNIX server.
