Documentation

Definition

In the File format section you enter the data format of the file. The following formats are supported:

• Excel: The data is saved in Excel format and available on the presentation server. The program Excel must also be available on the presentation server, since R/3 and Excel need to communicate.
• ASCII (text without field separator): The data corresponds to the input structure.
• CSV: This is a format usually used when data is exchanged between different PC programs. The fields of a data record are separated by a semicolon (;).
• TXT: The data is in this format if, for example, it was generated with the standard Windows editor. The fields are separated by tabs.

Important:
If the data is being imported to R/3, you must specify whether the first line of the file contains the field name (column name). If this is the case, select the relevant field. Otherwise, the system treats the first line as a data record to be imported.
