Definition

Number of data records for each transfer to SAP APO.

  • For the transfer, the data records to be transferred are first split into blocks.
  • The transfer to SAP APO is made on a block-by-block basis.
  • If a data record in a transfer block has errors, all data records in this block are not transferred.
  • If a small number of data records are transferred (less than 100 data records), the block size should be relatively small.
  • The default block size is 10.
