Definition

The interface format forms the basis for data export using the interface toolbox. You use the interface format to determine which HR data should be selected and how this takes place. When defining an interface format, you can access all HR employee data, data from personnel administration and payroll.

The interface toolbox uses the interface format you have defined to generate an ABAP program. You use this program to export the data. This ensures flexible and rapid processing of the data during the export.

The export program must be generated from the interface format in the initial screen for the interface toolbox.
