Definition

Use

You set this indicator to completely delete existing master data and Customizing for the values contained in the transport request when importing the transport request. The system evaluates which values will be transported when creating the transport request.

Dependencies

Example

You want to transport all values of a characteristic..

The values A and G exist for the characteristic in the source system when the transport request is created. There are the entries 1, 2, and 3 for A. There are the entries 1 and 2 for G.

A new value C is created after creating the transport request and before exporting it.

The values A, G, and H exist in the target system. A has the entries 1, 2, 3, and 4, G has the entries 1 and 2.

The system behaves as follows when you select this option:

  • Value C is not simultaneously transported as it did not exist when the transport request was created.
  • Value H is not changed in the target system.
  • Values A and G are completely replaced in the target system with the definition from the source system.

Using this option means that through the transport, the values from the source system are completely transferred into the target system; other values in the target system remain unchanged. In particular, no values can be deleted later in the target system even if these originally existed in the source system.

However, you can delete values later by first including the value in the transport request and then deleting it before releasing the transport in the source system. As a result of this you generate a deletion request that deletes the value in the target system.
