32 Slide 32 Enhanced Prior Transfer Error Message

33 Slide 33 Prior to the Enhancement… Prior to the enhancement, this error message provided limited information.

34 Slide 34 With the Enhanced Functionality… With the enhanced functionality, the error message will display information on all of the prior transfers that referenced the same SAP original document number.

35 Slide 35 Additional Information Click the Continue button on the error message to see the prior cost transfer numbers, amounts, dates, and initiator IDs of those that have referenced the same SAP Original Document number.

36 Slide 36 Returning to Cost Transfer Entry Click the red X to close this prior history window… …and you will see this message. Press enter to return to the Cost Transfer entry.

37 Slide 37 Enhanced Upload Functionality

38 Slide 38 Upload Functionality New functionality has been added that will enable users to first enter the cost transfer data into Excel, and then upload it into SAP. The number of default entry lines has been increased to 20 with these enhancements. Excel upload spreadsheets that contain more than 20 default lines will automatically increase the number of lines needed in the cost transfer. Thus, an upload file containing 50 lines of transfer data would automatically upload and automatically increase the number of lines available in the cost transfer. An example of an upload file for an Expense cost transfer follows.

39 Slide 39 Excel Template The data entered in Excel is done via the use of a template file created for this purpose.

40 Slide 40 Enter the Data Once data is entered, save the file as an Excel file.

41 Slide 41 Save as.Txt File Then delete the column header row, so all you are left with is transfer data, and save the file as a.txt file.

42 Slide 42 Enter Parameters Now in the Expense option of the Non- Payroll Cost Transfer, select a reason code, document date, posting date and posting period. Then enter text in the explanation section at the bottom of the transfer.

43 Slide 43 Upload Expense Items Finally, click the Upload Expense Items icon.

44 Slide 44 Select Your.Txt File From the Windows file directory, select the.txt file that you created.

45 Slide 45 Data Is Pulled In Data is pulled in from the.txt file and the number of lines automatically increases from the default (20) to the number of lines needed for the file data (30).

46 Slide 46 SAP Doc? Column Although the raw data is pulled in, the checkboxes in the SAP Doc? column are not automatically checked. This is because checking this column invokes a validation in SAP and must be done manually.

47 Slide 47 Click the Check icon and then click each of the checkboxes in the SAP doc? column. SAP Doc? Column

48 Slide 48 Proceed with the Cost Transfer Proceed as usual with the cost transfer. Note that the prior transfer validation is still in place.

49 Slide 49 Prior History Here is the prior history on the referenced SAP original document.
