Definition

If you set this indicator, the system makes the necessary preparations during the upload of commodity codes/import code numbers so that the numbers that already exist in the system can be compared with the current numbers at a later point of time.

Technical background:
When you upload numbers from the data carrier into the system, the current numbers are stored temporarily in an independent table. These numbers are stored according to user, country and goods direction.
On the selection screen, you must specify a six-digit key with which you tell the system that numbers for a specific country and goods direction are located in different files or on different data carriers.
The six-digit key is mandatory. This means that it is also required if only one file exists.
The data can be compared at a later point of time.

Example

You want to upload the commodity codes for Germany into the system. The numbers are located in three files on three different data carriers.

This means that you must carry out the load program for Germany and the goods direction 'export' three times.

Note that you should always use the same six-digit key. In addition, you should ensure that the radio button 'Further data carrier' is selected for the uploading the second and third file.
