These activities are not relevant if you use a CRM/EBP system.

In the following activities you make definitions for transfer of business partner data or business partner relationship data from an external system to a SAP System.

Data transfer takes place in several stages:

  1. Relevant data is read from the external system and placed in a sequential file by the data selection program. The data structure of the file is defined in the sender structure.
    This procedure takes place outside of the SAP environment and is not supported by SAP programs. For this reason, data changes can be made at this point by the data selection program.
  2. The sequential file is stored on an application server or a presentation server.
  3. The SAP transfer program reads data from the file and places this in the sender structure. This does not change the data. This step is carried out internally by the system and does not affect the user.
  4. Following transfer rules that have to be defined, the transfer program takes the data from the sender structure and places it in the receiver structure. During this step you can change or convert data.
    The receiver structure is firmly defined in the SAP system. Assignment of the sender structure to the transfer program, and of the transfer program to the receiver structure is made using a defined transfer category.
  5. The data records in the receiver structure are processed one after the other and, if they do not contain any errors, they are saved in the database.

Before you transfer external data for the first time, make the following determinations:

  • The structure of the data in the external system may not match the structure expected by the SAP system. You may have to supplement data.
    There are two ways in which you can adapt the structure:
  • You make the required conversions and enhancements within the data selection program prior to beginning the transfer to the SAP system. This will be the most practical solution in most cases since you have the most freedom at this point.

  • You do the conversion using a specially developed transfer program and transfer rules.

  • You then define the fields of the sender structure. The system offers you the option of automatically generating a sender structure that is compatible with the receiver structure.
  • You define transfer rules to create rules according to which the fields of the sender structure are linked with those of the receiver structure.

You now carry out the transfer.
