Documentation

Definition

Name of the file description

The file description ensures that an (Excel) file is imported correctly into the system. Generic file names assign the file description to the Excel file.

File descriptions are used in two cases:

• Excel integration in planning

  The file description is created automatically in planner profile maintenance. You can change it by moving the cells and columns.
  You can use a single file description for several planner profile positions that have an identical planning layout.

• Flexible Excel upload in EC-EIS

  You create the file description manually and link the cell contents

with sender structures. You can create key areas, header areas and value areas.
