Definition

The file layout converts the file format of the export file, known as the SAP export file format into a file format of your choice. The file format is, therefore, also known as a free format.

An interface format is assigned to each file layout. This interface format contains the data for the data export. The file layout contains the format and conversion data.

The file layout must be generated in the initial screen of the interface format.
